Transmigrated as the Mother of the Abused Male Lead in a Tragic Novel-Chapter 53: Green Salad
Chapter 53
Xiao Jun walked in and saw that Ding Sha had a thoughtful look on her face.
"What are you thinking about?" Xiao Jun stroked her hair and asked curiously.
"Ping An was a bit strange today," Ding Sha said.
"What happened? Is he sick?" Xiao Jun sat down.
"He's not sick," Ding Sha rubbed her chin, "He just kept staring at me, without crying or fussing, and he wanted hugs."
"Doesn't he always act like that?" Xiao Jun laughed, "He knows how to pretend to be good, and how to trick people."
Ding Sha thought about it and realized it was true. Usually after crying and fussing, he would stare with eyes wide pretending to be good, even though he was just singing loudly to himself a moment ago when he saw someone coming he pretended nothing happened.
"I really want to know what he's thinking in that little head of his," Ding Sha stood up and walked outside.
"I'm so curious too," Xiao Jun also stood up and followed.
The couple walked into little Ping An's room. Zhao Auntie was making formula for him. He stared at the bottle without blinking, looking very serious.
Hearing the noise and seeing Ding Sha, he started staring at her again, and went "ah ah" twice, reaching out his little hands wanting a hug.
Ding Sha floated over quickly and picked him up, "Oh which little darling is this, let mommy take a look."
She kissed the milk-scented little baby, "So pretty, so good, so cute."
She held Ping An in her arms, bouncing around the room with him.
After Zhao Auntie tested the temperature of the formula, she handed the bottle to Ding Sha, "I'll go wash Ping An's blankets and mat and hang them out to dry since there's good sunshine today."
"Thanks for your hard work, Zhao Auntie," Ding Sha smiled, "Xiao Jun and I will take him out for a walk in a bit."
Zhao Auntie carried the big pile of bedding out to the yard.
Ding Sha packed a large bag of stuff and put it under Ping An's stroller, and Xiao Jun pushed it. She carried Ping An, planning to take him out for a walk.
Ping An hadn't gone out much before, so she wanted to take him out.
Ping An hugged her neck, leaning against her chest, occasionally wriggling a bit, looking at Xiao Jun then back raising his head looking at Ding Sha.
They went to a mall near their home.
Halfway there Xiao Jun bought a milk tea for Ding Sha, and carried Ping An himself.
Little Ping An sat steadily in his dad's arms, looking at his mom curiously.
"Want to drink?" Ding Sha asked little Ping An with a smiling face, but she put the straw into Xiao Jun's mouth instead.
Xiao Jun frowned as he drank a sip then pushed it away, "Too sweet, don't understand why it tastes so good."
Ding Sha ignored him and happily drank it herself.
"The weather is so nice," she squinted, "I remember there's a baby toy store in the mall. Let's pick out some educational toys for Ping An."
She counted on her fingers, "Number cards, letter cards, all kinds of things."
"Isn't it a bit early?" Xiao Jun was puzzled.
"Just buy first, we'll figure it out later," it was probably something all women shared - the urge to shop when in a good mood.
They reached the mall. Ding Sha finished the milk tea before taking Ping An from Xiao Jun to let him rest for a while.
Ping An had been very well-behaved all along, snuggling intimately in his parents' arms, occasionally going "ah ah" to indicate he was participating too in their shopping discussion.
On the way home, Ding Sha was still carrying Ping An, "Oh why is our baby being so good today?"
She pretended to think hard, "Then you definitely need a reward!"
Ping An cooperated by grabbing her fingers that she held under his chin, and went "Ah ah".
Ding Sha wiped his drool for him, "I'll make you some carrot flavored rice porridge when we get home, okay?"
Ding Sha knew well most children's hatred and avoidance towards carrots. So on the first day Ping An could eat complementary foods, she had prepared the baby rice porridge in carrot flavor. Hoping to make Ping An one of the few children who loved carrots.
By the time they returned home, the restaurant was preparing food. Ping An was already sleepy and couldn't keep his eyes open, still holding onto Ding Sha's hair unwilling to let go. Ding Sha carefully lay him down and kissed his little face before leaving.
Wang Wenhao was still in the kitchen holding the recipe thinking hard, there were only two dishes on the Wang Family Menu, after getting approved by Wang Zhengyang and Xiao Jun.
Du Rourou sat dozing off while editing videos, clutching her notebook. These days the weather had been good, and the flowers they transplanted into the yard had blossomed, in splendid shades of purple and red.
Seeing the beautiful blossoms, Du Rourou pulled Ding Sha to film many videos.
The videos were already up to incorporating flowers into pastries. The views on the video platform were also quite high.
This account sharing traditional pastries already had a lot of fans, and also received many advertisement promotions, but Ding Sha turned those down.
Recently, Xiao Jun brought back a laptop. He happened to see someone doing post-production and editing, and became extremely interested all of a sudden.
He also said at home he would work hard to learn, even wanting to surpass Du Rourou to become the number one person behind Ding Sha's career and life.
This was the first time Du Rourou faced Xiao Jun with head held high, fearless, "Humph! I'm an editing major, about to start my postgraduate studies! Boss you're very capable, but wanting to surpass me will still be a little difficult~"
Then two months later, she wilted. Xiao Jun was really able to figure out his own way. His aesthetic was unexpectedly high level, an ink painting and mountain water style. It matched Ding Sha very well.
Sometimes Du Rourou wondered, how can this couple be like this?
Good looks, good life, smart, relationship is also good, most infuriating is the child is good too. Too unfair!
She indignantly took a bite of the weight loss meal Ding Sha specially prepared for her.
Yes, catering to popular demand, the restaurant launched a summer special - weight loss meals.
The one Du Rourou was eating was one of the more popular choices.
A pan-fried cod fillet without oil, a large handful of bitter chrysanthemum greens and other leafy greens, broccoli, tomatoes, avocado, and other vegetables paired with corn kernels, winged beans etc, plus mixed grains rice, two small purple potatoes, and a hard boiled egg.
It looked like a lot, but very low in calories.
Pour over Ding Sha's specially made vinaigrette or low-fat sesame sauce, and there was no painful feeling of eating a weight loss meal at all.
Many young women would buy a serving to take away, especially more popular after Gong Sister-in-law started a fruit and vegetable juicing stand next door.
Ding Sha scrolled through her phone looking at what kind of video to shoot next. The cat Egg Yolk rubbed against her legs acting coquettish. The two kittens also meowed as they jumped onto the bench to climb onto her lap.
Zhuang Auntie wasn't around, she went to Si Le's school.
Si Le was about to take the high school entrance exam. The teacher asked every parent to understand the selection and pros and cons of high schools.
Little Shitou was also sent to preschool. Although slow to react he was well-behaved and obedient. A little girl in his class liked to follow him around protecting him.
Lin Jiayu pushed the door open, "It's so nice and cool inside!"
He wore a casual and neat white shirt. The cuffs neatly rolled up, and his hair was also neatly combed.
He held a book in his hand. It looked like he came straight from class.
He wore silver-rimmed gray glasses, with a gentle smile at the corners of his mouth. "I heard the boss lady has new desserts? I came to show my support."
