"Step by step, step by step."
Cheng Yan was with Huo Xiaoman all the time, and when she fell asleep, she quietly closed the door and went to the sofa outside to rest. Because I didn't sleep well, I woke up early the next morning, and while I was making breakfast, I happened to hear the bedroom door squeak.
He turned his head, first saw two bare chubby legs, and then saw that Huo Xiaoman had taken off his pajamas and ran out with only a vest left.
Cheng Yan quickly turned off the fire, went to her small box and took out a set of clothes, then picked up the person with one hand and stuffed it into the bed in the bedroom. After seeing the little guy getting the clothes, he took the initiative to put it on his head, Then I calmed down again and went back to make breakfast.
The eggs crackled in the frying pan, and Cheng Yan looked at the fire and kept the eggs in a perfect looseness.
When the plate was being served, Huo Xiaoman ran out again, with this little leather in his hand, he tugged at the corner of Cheng Yan's clothes.
Although Cheng Yan is good at cooking, he really doesn't know anything about a little girl's hair. After thinking about it, he took out his mobile phone and searched for a tutorial. With the only two rubber bands on his head, he tied two small balls to Huo Xiaoman.
Huo Xiaoman stood on the small stool in the bathroom and looked at himself, swaying his head from side to side for a while, and when he saw someone coming in, he immediately grinned and giggled, completely losing his emotional appearance last night.
Cheng Yan took a photo, stored it on his mobile phone, and told her, "Xiaoman brushes his teeth, brushes his teeth, and goes to breakfast."
The little guy did as soon as he heard it, and he was too obedient.
For breakfast, Huo Xiaoman ate a whole two eggs, probably because his chopsticks were not good enough, so his heart sank half of his mouth.
Cheng Yan sat on the side to help wipe, and asked her where she wanted to go today, but she didn't think about the question while patronizing, so she didn't answer, so Cheng Yan had to think for himself.
He should be quite happy when he was Xiaoman's age. Although the family was not rich at that time, it was a harmonious family of three. When his parents were not working, they would take him around from time to time.
It's just what he did on weekends when he was a child. Thinking back carefully, except that most of the time he was alone at home reading books, but he couldn't think of anything else to play.
But, at this age, can Xiaoman read books? Cheng Yan had doubts in his heart.
Hey, he couldn't help sighing inwardly, his life was really boring, and he didn't even know where to go with the children, so he sent a text message to Liang Chen and asked where he would take her little niece. .
Liang Chen gave a message back in seconds: [My little niece doesn't like to go anywhere, she stays at home all day watching cartoons, why? Where are you taking kids? Don't you know how to bake? Make some cookies or something?]
Cheng Yan thought about it and thought it was a solution, so he asked the little guy sitting next to him who was about to serve the table to catch bread: "Xiaoman, do you want to bake cookies together in the afternoon?"
"Biscuits?" Huo Xiaoman suddenly turned his head to look at him, stared at him for a moment, grinned and exposed his little front teeth and said, "Xiaoman bakes cookies."
This reflection made Cheng Yan burst out laughing, and after making up his mind, he thought about what to do, what to do, and how to do it.
According to previous experience, Huo Xiaoman definitely likes to eat fruit. The other materials at home are complete, but the fruit is not always available at home, so the first thing he thinks of is to take Huo Xiaoman to the supermarket.
The supermarket on weekends was crowded with people, Huo Xiaoman sat upside down in the shopping cart with his two calves dangling, directing Cheng Yan to buy things.
Canned yellow peaches, pineapple rings, and when he arrived at the cooked food area, he asked him to buy chicken wings and drumsticks.
"Then do you want to eat other snacks?" Cheng Yan asked her.
She sat on the shopping cart, thought and answered, "I want candy, lollipop."
Of course, Cheng Yan didn't buy him a lollipop in the end, just because he remembered that Huo Sheng had said about her tooth decay before. But in order to compensate the little guy, he agreed with her to play in the play area in front of the mall for more than an hour before going back.
On the way home, Cheng Yan was holding a large shopping bag in one hand and holding her in the other. Probably in a good mood, Huo Xiaoman jumped all the way, walked downstairs to the apartment and let the uncle of the doorman see it, still asking whose child this is so cute.
Cheng Yan replied with a smile, "It's my friend's child."
"Yeah, then it's not easy for you," the uncle guard said with a smile. "Now the family treats children as petites. Usually, several adults watch one at home, and they don't even go to classmates' houses to play."
"She's okay, she's busy at home." Cheng Yan smiled and replied casually.
Huo Xiaoman was sweating outside, and when he got home, Cheng Yan changed her clothes first.
After changing clothes, Huo Xiaoman took the initiative to move a small stool and stand by the cooking table, staring at a little bit of preparation materials.
While stirring the caster sugar and flour, she couldn't help but reached out and touched her hand, turned around and put on Cheng Yanyi's pants again.
Cheng Yan looked at her spent face, and laughed outright. When the butter was poured in and the dough was formed, he called her to help flatten it next to him.
Huo Xiaoman didn't have any skills, just took the rolling pin and knocked there. Cheng Yan saw it and didn't care, just cutting the fruit and occasionally feeding her a couple of bites.
On a rare afternoon, two people, one big and one small, consumed the biscuits like this.
When Cheng Yan called her dad after dinner, he even opened a video and asked Huo Xiaoman to show him the results of the two.
The person in the video squinted and laboriously judged the shape of the biscuit in the little guy's hand. After a while, he guessed, "Is this a pineapple?"
"This is an apple." Huo Xiaoman said, and then raised another cookie that looked exactly the same and asked, "Then what do you say this is?"
"Is this a peach?" The other side guessed again.
Huo Xiaoman blinked and said directly, "Dad, you are so stupid, this is a pineapple."
Cheng Yan, who was standing aside watching the father and daughter, couldn't help laughing, and ran over to grab a biscuit and break it up to eat.
Huo Sheng seemed to feel that his self-esteem had been hit, so he hurriedly said to Xiaoman: "You call Brother Cheng Yan, and Dad will say a few words to him."
The little guy in front of the video stopped asking 'what shape is this biscuit', raised his head and shouted, "Brother."
Cheng Yan was right next to him, and it didn't take a few seconds to appear on the phone screen.
When Huo Sheng saw it, he asked, "How is it today, are you still crying?"
"No," Cheng Yan said, "I'm pretty good today, but I don't know how it will be when I go to bed for a while."
"Then why not?" The person on the other side smiled lightly, "The video is just hanging like this, and you can turn it off when she falls asleep."
After hearing this, Cheng Yan was silent for a moment, and after thinking about it, he still said, "You should do your own thing first, and then look at the situation when you go to bed. If there is more trouble... I'll call you again." After all, he didn't want to. I was so useless, although I was a little worried, I always felt that I could try it.
But after he finished speaking, he felt that the words seemed strange again, and he was afraid that Huo Sheng would think too much, so he hurriedly wanted to explain it out loud.
But he didn't want him to say "I have no other intentions", and the person opposite laughed and affirmed: "Alright, this is also a kind of exercise for Xiaoman."
Cheng Yan accidentally blushed because of his own selfishness, and hurriedly hung up the video pretending to be in trouble, and then when the screen of the mobile phone was completely black, he couldn't help sighing again in his heart.
Fortunately, Huo Xiaoman was indeed much better. Before going to bed, although he still shed tears, he was much more optimistic than yesterday's situation.
Looking at the crying little guy in front of him, Cheng Yan also whispered to her slowly what her father mentioned yesterday, and then asked her, "Do you still want to ask your father to tell you a story to sleep?"
"Well." Huo Xiaoman nodded with red eyes.
"Then you promise brother," Cheng Yan said, "it's okay to make a phone call, okay?"
"Okay." Huo Xiaoman replied again.
Cheng Yan called without any hesitation.
After two beeps, the dial signal on the mobile phone jumps to the time of connection.
The gentle voice on the other side came over immediately, Cheng Yan thought, let's do it step by step.
