Something moved under the swaddling clothes. Ji Huan glanced at his dim-eyed grandfather. After a while, he slightly lifted the scarf to keep out the wind. So, the "little baby" that Ji Huan had been holding tightly in the swaddling clothes finally finally Showing half of his face.
A very scary face.
It is like a cloud of black mist. When anyone sees this face for the first time, he will not think it is the face of a human baby. There are two white circles between the "black mist". When opening the scarf, the two "rings" were straight towards Jihuan's position. And when Grandpa approached, the "ring" quickly turned towards the old man's direction.
Those two "rings" are the eyes of the child.
Compared with his body, the child's eyes were extremely large, the whites of the eyes were unusually white, and the pupils were as black as night.
It was a small face that made people goosebumps all over.
The first time he saw the child's appearance, Jihuan didn't sleep all night. When you fall asleep, you have nightmares, and when you wake up and see the child again, it's like another nightmare.
Anyone with common sense knows that this child is wrong, and Jihuan naturally knows that, but when he thinks that this is the child entrusted to him by his sister, when he thinks that this is the child left by his sister, Jihuan—
He bought a very sturdy backpack and walked into the maternity store.
Without even the slightest hesitation in his mind, he brought this terrible child back.
"I can't see clearly... Is this child a little dark?" When grandfather said these words tremblingly, Ji Huan was glad for the first time that the old man was invisible now.
"Well, it's a bit dark." Ji Huan said without changing his face.
"It's okay to be black. Your sister was black when she was born, and then she became white when she grew up. She should drink more milk. By the way, did you buy him milk? Oh! No, now the children are all milk powder, listen. It is said that there are many problems with domestic milk powder, and we have to buy imported ones..." The old man had been struggling with the bad news of his granddaughter's death for a long time. , The child brought back by Jihuan is the only comfort for the old man, just like a life-saving straw appeared in front of him, the old man couldn't wait and carefully touched the little face of the child.
The old man's rough, wrinkled fingers gently moved closer, and suddenly a small black paw poked out from under the swaddle, and the old man's index finger was instantly grasped.
That claw is a real "claw". Although it can barely be seen that it has five fingers, it has pointed nails on it. No matter how you look at it, it can't be attached to the small hand of a human baby. It looks like a genius in a ghost legend. There are monster hands!
However, it was such a terrifying little paw that made the grasped grandpa laugh.
The corners of his eyes squeezed out a deep fold, and the grandfather smiled very happily.
"This child is really energetic." The old man laughed until tears came out.
Seeing grandpa's smile, Ji Huan was stunned, then he laughed too, lowered his head, he grabbed the little black paw without a trace, and stopped the little guy's urge to probe the paw in time, Ji Huan couldn't stand it He resisted and put the little hand back into the swaddle, and then used the scarf to wrap around the swaddle twice, so the little guy in the swaddle couldn't stretch out his sharp little claws no matter what. .
Yes, this child was born with fingernails. Not only are they sharp, they are also very sharp. Several times, Jihuan was scratched by his claws while breastfeeding. Not wanting to hurt grandpa, Jihuan chose to imprison the little baby.
"The weather is cold, and his hands are cold." In order not to attract the attention of Grandpa, Ji Huan found a very reasonable reason.
"Ah! That's right! It's so cold that the child will be frozen. I'm going to turn on the heating. By the way, I have to boil hot water. Does this baby have to eat milk powder? Xiaohua probably didn't eat..." With the words in his mouth, grandfather turned around in a hurry, and secretly wiped the muddy tears from the corner of his eyes with one hand, and then he wanted to go to the kitchen.
Ji Huan hurriedly grabbed him.
After confirming that the baby in the swaddle was completely tied up by the scarf and couldn't move, Ji Huan put the swaddle into his grandfather's arms, picked up his grandfather's apron from the back of the chair, and piled up his sleeves and walked into the back kitchen.
Wash the vegetables, cut the vegetables, fire, heat the pan, put the oil.
Jihuan's movements were not too fast. Grandpa didn't let him cook before.
However, he often starts in the kitchen, and he has seen a lot, and he knows the steps of cooking by heart. When the oil was hot, Jihuan also boiled a pot of water, and after the two dishes were placed on a plate, the water also boiled.
The two dishes and hot rice were served on the table. Jihuan finally put three dishes in front of the altar. The incense Jihuan prepared this time was for three, and after thinking about it, he added another.
The originally empty and cold main room was filled with the scent of sandalwood and the smell of food, and it instantly warmed up.
Immediately afterwards, after mixing the hot water and the cool white that grandpa had prepared before, Ji Huan opened the luggage bag that he had taken away when he left. All items for babies.
From the inside, he found an open bottle of milk powder, and Jihuan carefully filled a bottle of milk powder according to the feeding instructions on the bottle.
After doing this, Ji Huan walked to the dining table with the bottle.
Under a dim chandelier, grandpa still kept his previous posture and sat at the dining table. Jihuan didn't come, he refused to eat first, the old man gently shook the little swaddle in his arms, the folds on his face looked peaceful and peaceful. serene.
In a place where the old man could not see, the baby in his arms stared at his face without blinking, and the two white circles pointed straight at the old man's position, which looked very strange. .
"Grandpa, it's time to eat. Give me the child, it's time for him to drink milk." There was no ups and downs in his voice. The boy picked up the little swaddle from his grandfather's arms, and sat opposite his grandfather.
The two white rings turned and locked him.
Looking at the child in his arms expressionlessly, and looking at him for a moment, Ji Huan picked up the bottle and skillfully aimed at the place where the child in his arms was probably the mouth. Seeing the milk level in the bottle, he knew that the other party had started. After drinking milk, Ji Huan stopped looking at him, held the baby in his left hand, picked up a pair of chopsticks in his right hand, and put a chopstick of cabbage into his grandpa's bowl.
"Grandpa, eat a piece of my fried vegetables."
