He was too small and too soft.

The three-month-old baby was only as big as Xia He could hold it in two hands, and was raised white and fat. When Xia He went to see him, little Jinbao opened his eyes suddenly, and the eyeballs were extremely black. , but shining brightly, the moment he looked at Xia He, Little Jinbao's eyes flickered for a moment, then he stretched out his hands, opened his arms towards Xia He, and yelled.

Xia He suddenly felt as if his heart had been poked, as if he had been pasted with a talisman, and was frozen in place, unable to move.

"Child Jinbao, I saw my aunt, so dear." Mrs. Li said cheerfully, picked up little Jinbao in the crib, and stuffed it into Xia He's arms.

Xia He hurriedly embraced the little baby in her arms, and for the first time touched the softness that belonged only to the baby, looked at Mrs. Li, then at Li Mu, and then lowered her head to look at little Jinbao.

"Look at me, I forgot. Xiao He is the youngest in the family. She should have never hugged a child before. It's not in this position." Mrs. Li laughed loudly, and then adjusted the posture of Xia He's arms with her own hands, teaching Xia He Little Jinbao lay more comfortably in Xia He's arms.

Little Jinbao doesn't love his relatives very much, like Aunt Lin at home, she won't let her touch this little baby, and cries whenever she hugs her.It's still close to Mrs. Li, but the old lady is too old after all, and can't stand the trouble of this little child.Now that Xia He took over, little Jinbao was happy to nestle in Xia He's arms again. Mrs. Li was in a good mood, and patiently and carefully told Xia He the key to taking care of the child.

Now Xia He finally had something to do.

It is true that Xia He has never taken care of a child, at most she has only played with the little baby, and now for the first time she knows how difficult it was for her mother back then, she never thought that such a sweet and soft body would be so difficult to toss. It's better than a tall man.Aunt Lin didn't have any children of her own, so she could only help. The only one who taught Xia He how to take care of Jinbao was Mrs. Li. Therefore, when Xia He first married into the Li family, she spent most of her time in the house. Mrs. Li's.

It wasn't until Mrs. Li felt that he had almost learned enough that she let him carry Xiao Jinbao back to her room.At this time, more than a month has passed, and Mrs. Li has not been able to sleep well for four months, and she slept very soundly that night.Xia He was woken up three times in the middle of the night by Xiao Jinbao, changed two diapers, and fed warm rice cereal once, so it was rare to get up late the next day.

He put little Jinbao by his side, and when he slept at night, he arched his body into a shrimp shape, wrapping little Jinbao in his arms, which was warm and safe.

This time I slept until the sun rose to the halfway up the mountain, and the sunlight shone on the bed through the window, making Xia He feel lazy and didn't even want to move.It wasn't until Little Jinbao started to cry that Xia He woke up in a panic. He tried the diaper first, but it was still dry, so he knew he was hungry again, so he coaxed Jinbao to stop crying, and carried him to the kitchen. .

Originally, I thought it was time for Aunt Lin to get up and get busy, but I didn't expect that there was no one in the kitchen at this time.Xia He had no choice but to do it herself, stopping little Jinbao with one hand, and giving him hot rice paste with the other hand.I wondered in my heart, where did Aunt Lin go?

Aunt Lin was in Li Mu's study at this time.

When she chose to disturb Li Mu, Aunt Lin was still a little apprehensive, but after thinking about it, she felt that she had to let Li Mu know first, after all, a man is the one who is in charge of the family.

"Master, I have something... I want to tell you." She knocked on the door, saw Li Mu was reading, and took another step back.

"Come in. What's the matter?" Li Mu asked.

"Master... this month, the rice in the rice jar and the flour in the noodle jar have decreased a lot. Look at it, but it doesn't look like you have been hit by a mouse, so I came to ask..." Aunt Lin said yes.

Li Mu frowned: "Our family has added a new person this month, so we naturally eat a lot."

"No..." Aunt Lin hurriedly said, "It's really too much, otherwise I wouldn't take the liberty to disturb you. If it's all Madam can eat, then Madam's appetite can catch up to the living head of my family. It's time!"

Li Mu was also surprised when he heard this.Look at Xia He's small size, like Aunt Lin, he doesn't believe that this bride can meet the appetite of a strong laborer, but he doesn't feel that there is some thief out there, if there is a thief who can often quietly flip through Entering Li's house through the wall is like entering no one's land, so why not steal some gold and silver jewellery, instead of just taking some rice noodles every time?

Seeing Li Mu's silence for a long time, Aunt Lin carefully asked, "Master... May I ask you how to deal with this matter?"

"I'll go to the kitchen first." Li Mu said yes, got up and left.

Aunt Lin hurriedly followed, and heard the beeping sound of firewood in the kitchen from a distance.Li Mu strode in, and saw Xia He was there, pinching half a piece of steamed bun with one hand, stirring the porridge with the other, holding Jinbao in his arms.

"Ouch!" Aunt Lin, who was following behind, was terrified, and rushed forward, ignoring that Xiao Jinbao started crying as soon as he entered her arms, and grabbed the young master into her arms.

Xia He was startled by Aunt Lin, and almost dropped the steamed bun in her hand to the ground.Turning around, I saw Li Mu standing at the door, Xia He was still chewing on the delicious steamed buns, and asked vaguely, "Is Mr. Xiang hungry too? I see it's all over now, and the stove is still cold, so I cooked the meal. Here." He pointed to the small table in the kitchen, where the mixed cold dishes and hot steamed buns were being placed, and the porridge in the pot was also bubbling and emitting aroma.

As soon as little Jinbao left Xia He's embrace, he burst into tears with a "wow".Xia He had been carrying Jin Bao for a long time, and she wasn't as cautious as she was at the beginning. She stuffed the small half of the steamed bun into her mouth, patted her clothes, and muttered: "Okay, okay, Really clingy, come, auntie, come and hug me." Taking Jinbao over again, Xia He said to Aunt Lin, "Aunt Lin, please look at the pot, it will be filled right away."

Xia He skillfully held Jinbao in her arms, and made the crying baby feel comfortable, and finally stopped making noise, her voice became smaller and smaller, and gradually quieted down.After Xia He coaxed Jin Bao, Li Mu was still standing at the door, looking at Jin Bao with a complicated expression.

Xia He was surprised that the father and son had never been intimate, so she hugged Xiao Jinbao and moved closer to Li Mu, coaxing Jinbao, and showing him Li Mu's appearance: "Come, call Daddy, your daddy is here."

In fact, Li Mu was looking at Xia He, and suddenly said: "Xia He, Jin Bao is still young, since you raised him, let him call you his mother."

Xia He immediately shook her head and said, "How can that be possible? Jin Bao is in my sister's blood, and I will tell him in the future that his mother is a very beautiful and gentle woman."

Xia He was smiling when he said this, there were dimples hidden on each of his cheeks and cheeks, when he smiled, the dimples would be exposed, and his eyebrows and eyes were also bent into the appearance of a crescent moon.Li Mu couldn't tell from his appearance that he was not happy. Xia He was really missing his sister Qiuyue, and he couldn't let Qiuyue's descendants forget his real mother, the one who exchanged her life for him. born woman.

Suddenly, Xia He thought of something, and asked Li Mudao: "I heard that scholars pay attention to 'a gentleman stays away from the kitchen', my lord, why did you come to the kitchen today?"

"Small family, how can there be so many rules." Li Mu was a little surprised, "Where did you hear this sentence?"

"Every time my mother asked my father to help make a fire, my father would say that if he didn't want to do it." Xia He teased Jin Bao, and said, "Little Jin Bao, you know, you can't be as lazy as your grandfather in the future. "

Aunt Lin had already poured out all the porridge in the pot, so Xia He hugged Jinbao and followed Li Mu to Mrs. Li's place for dinner.After tasting the delicious raw cold dish, Mrs. Li's eyes lit up: "This tastes good, but is it a newly learned skill of the Lin family?"

"Mother, it's Xia He's kitchen this morning." Li Mudao raised his head and glanced at Xia He who was sitting across from him. He swallowed a steamed bun when he was in the kitchen. It's not vulgar, but if you look carefully, the action of putting it into the mouth is very fast. Based on this calculation, Xia He actually ate more than himself.

Li Mu was secretly taken aback, and couldn't figure out where Xia He had eaten all these things.

With this in mind, Li Mu began to pay attention to Xia He's movements on a daily basis.It just so happened that if Xia He wanted to go to the kitchen, he would have to pass by Li Mu's yard. It only took a few days of careful observation to know how often Xia He went to the kitchen. Hurry up, feed him several times a day, but Li Mu found that every time Xia He feeds Jin Bao, his own mouth will not be empty, and he will always chew something.

This is how the rice and noodles in the kitchen disappeared into Xia He's stomach. The strange thing was that he didn't lose any fat after eating this way every day, and he didn't know where the things were packed.

After another half a month, the second puzzle was also solved.

Xia He has grown taller.

Xia He, who had just arrived at Li's house, had just reached Li Mu's shoulders. It had only been a month and a half. One day, Xia He walked hurriedly with her head buried. She didn't notice that Li Mu was standing in front of her, and almost bumped into her.When he raised his head, his head hit Li Mu's chin.Xia He rubbed his head and raised his head, Li Mu suddenly realized that Xia He had grown to the height of his nose before he knew it.

He is now wearing clothes brought over from home, which are a bit small, but looking at them now, the sleeves are all short.

Li Mu couldn't get used to it, and said, "Xia He, go to town today."

"Huh?" Xia He was puzzled. In the past month or so, except for going to Zhang's house a few times, he basically never went out.Why did Li Mu suddenly mention this?

"Cut some clothes for you." Li Mu said.
