Chapter 184 Even dogs would dislike it
Shu Yun and Gu Jun just wanted to ignore the unappetizing sponge cake at the dinner table, but in Gu Xi's eyes, even though the sponge cake had some not-so-cute little black spots, it was still an attractive and cute little sponge cake.
He shoveled rice into his mouth with a small spoon, his big eyes glancing occasionally at the steamed egg custard in the corner. Before long, he finished the whole bowl of rice, looking much better than usual.
After finishing her meal, Gu Xi said, "Daddy, Gao Gao."
Before the little guy could finish speaking, Gu Jun grabbed him by the armpits and lifted him into the air, saying, "Come on, let's go outside and ride horses."
Upon hearing this, the little guy immediately forgot about the chicken cake and, perched on Gu Jun's shoulders, cheered, "Let's go, let's go, let's go ride the big horse!" Haha, he was going to show off to his friends too.
As the two walked out, Gu Jun turned back and winked at Shu Yun. Shu Yun immediately understood, nodded quietly, and followed the father and son to the door, reminding them, "Gu Jun, be careful the baby doesn't fall."
"Come back soon,"
After the father and son left, Shu Yun glanced at the sponge cake on the table, then looked at A-happy, who was lying under the table wagging his tail, and held the sponge cake to A-Xi's mouth. "Here, A-happy, eat."
Ah-happy twitched her nose, but instead of opening her mouth, she turned her head away in disgust and continued gnawing on the meat bone she had just eaten.
Shu Yun: ...
Okay, she wasn't discouraged. She placed the sponge cake next to Ah-happy's doghouse. "Ah-happy, I've put it here for you. Remember to eat it later."
Not knowing if the moldy sponge cake would harm Ah happy, Shu Yun was worried and decided to find a different way to dispose of it. In the short time it took to turn around, she saw Ah Xi dig a small hole in the ground with its paws, bury the sponge cake in it, and then fill the hole back in.
Shu Yun: ...
This operation is somewhat like handling poop, but the chicken cake has been successfully dealt with, and the little guy has something to report when he gets back.
Gu Xi rode on Gu Jun's scissor, and although he had experienced the different perspective from above before, it still excited him greatly. He directed Gu Jun to the children's house and shouted loudly and energetically outside, "Liangliang, look, my dad is taking me for a ride on a big horse, hehe, it's much taller than you."
Liangliang was already unhappy as his mother chased him around the yard to feed him, his little mouth pouting so high it could hold an oil can. But as soon as he saw his friend riding a big horse, he immediately protested, begging his father, "Waaah, I want to ride a big horse too! Daddy, take me to ride a big horse!"
"After you finish eating, Dad will take you horseback riding."
"No, I want it now, I want it now."
After showing off, Gu Xi left, completely ignoring Liang Liang, who was crying loudly at home because of envy.
Next, Gu Xi directed Gu Jun to visit the homes of several children and adults, generating a wave of envy.
The little guy is sociable and not shy at all. Now that he has a dad to brag about, he's even more enthusiastic. He greets everyone he meets, saying, "Auntie, my dad's back! He's taking me horseback riding!"
"Grandpa, this is my dad. Look how tall I am sitting."
Gu Jun watched as his son greeted everyone who passed by. Some of them he didn't even recognize, but the little guy was very outgoing. After the people had gone some distance, Gu Jun asked his son, "Who was that person just now?"
Gu Xi scratched her little head and tilted it, "Grandpa?"
Gu Jun: "Who is this great-grandfather? Which family does he belong to?"
Gu Xi continued to blink her innocent big eyes, "Great-Grandpa is from Great-Grandpa's family."
Gu Jun: ...Alright, it seems he doesn't know the person at all, but he greeted everyone without missing a single greeting. Not bad, he's a potential social butterfly. He and his wife are ashamed of themselves.
After playing wildly outside with Gu Jun for an hour, Gu Xi was the center of attention and quite satisfied. On the way home, she was held in her father's arms, but soon her eyelids started to droop and she fell asleep.
Kids sleep so well. Gu Jun wiped the little guy's face and feet in the middle of the night without waking up at all. He slept until the next morning when Gu Xi groggily sat up in bed, looked around the familiar little room, and said, "Dad."
The little guy, fearing yesterday was just a dream, threw off his blanket, got out of bed in his cow-print pajamas, and shuffled out in his slippers, calling out, "Mommy, Mommy, where's Daddy? Where's Daddy?"
As soon as Gu Jun returned, the little guy kept calling him "Dad" this and "Dad" that. Shu Yun rolled her eyes inwardly, but she couldn't deny that the old mother felt a little sour. She spat out the toothpaste powder in her mouth and said, "Here, here."
As she spoke, Shu Yun called out to Gu Jun, who was busy in the kitchen, "Gu Jun, come out quickly, your son is looking for you."
Gu Jun hurriedly carried out the steaming hot steamed buns. The little guy's eyes lit up when he saw Gu Jun, and he jumped up happily, "Dad!"
The father, not understanding his son's heart, saw that he was dressed in thin clothes, put the steamed bun he was holding on the table, picked up the little guy, and carried him back to the room. "Alright, get dressed first, then we'll have breakfast."
On the dining table, in front of Gu Xi was a tiny steamed bun, a bowl of steamed egg custard, and a glass of fresh milk.
With more children in the family compound, the Women's Federation took the lead in ordering fresh milk. Shu Yun also ordered some for her son, believing that children should drink more milk so that their bones would grow well and be nutritious. However, the little guy didn't understand Shu Yun's intentions. He didn't like drinking milk at all and always felt that it had a milky smell. Every time, Shu Yun would force him to eat it.
Today was no exception. It seemed that with her father there to back her up, she became much bolder. After finishing the steamed buns and egg custard, she quietly pushed the milk away a little and said, "I'm done eating."
Shu Yun narrowed her eyes. "Where's your milk?"
Gu Xi puffed out her cheeks, put her little hands together, and didn't dare to look at Shu Yun. "I, I'm full, I can't eat anymore."
Shu Yun squinted her eyes, "Are you full now? Okay, I'll leave it here for you and heat it up for you to drink later."
Gu Xi couldn't believe it. He pouted. The heated milk smelled even stronger, and he didn't like it even more.
He couldn't help but look at Gu Jun with pleading eyes, "Dad, Dad didn't drink it either."
Shu Yun: "That's because Dad has grown taller, so he doesn't drink anymore. Look at you now, you're so small, you're not even as tall as Dad's legs."
Gu Xi tilted her head. "Does growing taller mean I don't have to drink it anymore?"
Shu Yun nodded. "Your dad was just as small as you back then. He only grew this tall because he drank milk. Baby, do you want to grow tall?"
Gu Xi nodded her little head, "Yes, yes."
He then looked at Gu Jun and asked, "Dad, did you really grow taller by drinking milk?"
Gu Jun had never even heard of milk when he was a child, let alone had access to it. However, when he met the child's gaze, he nodded without changing his expression, "Yes, drinking milk helps you grow taller."
Gu Xi clenched her little fist, "Then, then I want to drink too! I want to grow taller than a house!"
"Now I can touch the little clouds and the little birds." With that thought, Gu Xi was full of energy. She gulped down the milk in a few mouthfuls, her belly was full, and she even let out a milk burp.
Taller than a house? Towering into the clouds? Shu Yun imagined it for a moment, and thought, "Hmm... kids' ideas are just so strange."
