In the evening, Yang Qing's fiancée, or in local terms, his fiancée, Zheng Shuyi, also came over. She and Murphy were preparing dinner in the kitchen.
Zhou Mengyu didn't know how to cook. Usually at home, it was either the nanny or Mo Henian who cooked one or two side dishes, so she couldn't help much. Yang Chonggui waved his hand and said that their generation had children and grandchildren, so they should enjoy life. Therefore, this meal would be prepared by the younger generation, including Dong Yuee, and no one was allowed to help.
Fortunately, Zheng Shuyi's cooking skills were good. She would cook, and Murphy would help as much as she could.
"Sister-in-law, after your relationship is exposed, will it be very troublesome?" Zheng Shuyi chatted with her. Zheng Shuyi was younger, in her twenties. After she found out about Murphy's identity, she began to pay attention to the news.
Their Zheng Village was well-off, and every family had a TV, so Zheng Shuyi also saw the news of Murphy and Yang Yi's relationship being exposed on TV.
"It will be a lot of trouble. Now, there are often paparazzi near our house … reporters who secretly take photos. Yang Yi is going to take us to another place to live," Murphy said to her. "But, it's good that our relationship is exposed! In the past, we were always afraid of people finding out, so we didn't dare to take Xi Xi out. Now, it's okay. In the future, we can go to Xi Xi's parent-teacher meetings. "
At this point, Murphy's face showed a relaxed smile.
As they were cooking and chatting, Xi Xi, who went to see the puppy with her father, came back. The little girl ran to the kitchen with her feet and ran in excitedly, pulling on her mother's clothes.
"Mom, Mom!" The little girl couldn't wait. She jumped and said, "Mom, I want to show you something!"
"What is it? You brought the puppy back? "Mo Fei suddenly had an idea and asked with a smile.
Xi Xi saw that her mother had guessed it, but she wasn't depressed. She was still beaming with joy, waving her little hands and jumping on the ground. "Yes, the puppy is back. Papa is there, super cute! I'll take you there! "
The little girl was extremely anxious to show off to her mother.
"But Mom still has to prepare dinner with Auntie. Mom can't leave," Murphy said awkwardly.
Zheng Shuyi smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, go ahead. It's fine. I can handle it here."
Murphy looked at Xi Xi, who was holding her hand. She nodded and said, "I'll come back to help you."
…
The little puppy was carried back in a small bamboo basket. It was lying on a soft cushion, turning its head to look at this new "world". Of course, without its mother by its side, the little guy was a little nervous, but it didn't have the intention to get rid of it and go back to its mother.
Mo Henian clasped his hands behind his back and stood behind Yang Yi. He looked at the dog and said seriously, "This dog is not bad. It's a pure breed. Look at its eyes. It will definitely be very smart when it grows up!"
"Hey, it's just a country dog. What's there to care about?" Yang Chonggui laughed.
"Hey, don't say that. Old Yang, the price of this dog's breed is very different from that of a mixed breed …" Mo Henian chatted with him.
The two old men were commenting on a dog with great interest. It was unknown how the little puppy would feel if it knew.
Murphy was pulled over by Xi Xi. She saw the little puppy's dignified appearance and liked it very much. However, Murphy frowned and said, "Hey, why is its fur so dirty? Before it's cleaned, we can't let Xi Xi touch it. "
In the countryside, the country dogs were all left to their own devices. Even the little puppy would roll on the ground by itself. This was considered good. Li Shupo's house didn't raise chickens, so the yard was relatively clean. However, the little puppy was covered in dust. Murphy was still worried that there would be fleas, afraid that they would run to Xi Xi.
Thinking that her mother was talking about her, Xi Xi quickly waved her hand and explained to her mother, "Mom, I've cleaned it. Smell it. It still smells good!"
She also extended her small wrist to her mother.
Yang Yi, who paid the most attention to these things, of course, considered Xi Xi's hygiene. After letting Xi Xi play with the little puppy, he didn't directly take her and the little puppy home. Instead, he and Xi Xi went to the well in Li Shupo's house to draw clean well water. They used the long-acting bacteriostasis soap to wash their hands and wrists clean before coming back.
However, that wasn't what Murphy was referring to.
"It's okay. I've thought of it. I'll take it upstairs for a bath later. There's a shower and a hairdryer upstairs. After I wash it clean, I can let it play with Xi Xi," Yang Yi said with a smile.
"I want to give the puppy a bath too," Xi Xi said eagerly.
Murphy was relieved. She smiled and said to Xi Xi, "Such a cute puppy. Do you have a name for it?"
Yang Yi shook his head. He wanted to say no for Xi Xi.
But who knew that Xi Xi nodded seriously and said, "I have a name for the puppy!"
"Really? You've already named it? "Yang Yi asked in surprise." So fast? What are you going to name it? "
"I think it's chubby, like a big white bun." Xi Xi leaned on her mother's leg and giggled. She said embarrassedly, "Let's call it Baozi!"
"Baozi?" Yang Yi looked at the puppy that didn't look like a baozi at all. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry and shook his head. "Okay, it's your puppy. You can call it whatever you want."
Mo Fei, on the other hand, said excitedly, "I think the name Xixi came up with is quite nice. Steamed Bun, very cute!"
"Hehe!" The little girl laughed happily.
…
Bathing the puppy was a big project!
The main thing was that Xi Xi also had to participate. Yang Yi had to put a waterproof windbreaker on her. Then, he carried the small bamboo basket and took Xi Xi to the bathroom upstairs.
"Help Daddy carry this!" Yang Yi turned on the water heater and adjusted the water temperature to a moderate temperature. Then, he handed the nozzle to Xi Xi. "Don't waste water. Point the nozzle at this bucket."
Actually, it was fine if he didn't give it to Xi Xi, but since the little girl wanted to participate, Yang Yi arranged a small task for her.
Xi Xi happily took it. However, she didn't listen to him obediently. Hearing the sound of the water spraying, her heart itched. Seeing that her father had turned around to carry the puppy, she couldn't help but reach out her left hand and touch the water from the nozzle.
Feeling the thin lines of water washing over her palm, the little girl was amused. Although she didn't laugh out loud, her big eyes turned into crescents. It was very fun.
"Xi Xi, you spilled water on Daddy!" Yang Yi turned around with the puppy in his arms and looked at Xi Xi. Some water splashed on his face by Xi Xi.
"Ouch!" The little girl hurriedly retracted her little hand as if she had been caught doing something bad. She was a little embarrassed and twisted her body to her father and smiled.
"Look, you spilled water on Daddy's face." Yang Yi deliberately tilted his face and pouted unhappily.
"I'll wipe it for Daddy!" The little girl cleverly reached out her left hand and wiped her father's face.
The little girl's hand was tender and cold, but it was also wet. She forgot that there was water on her hand. As a result, the more she wiped her father's face, the more wet it became.
"Okay!" Yang Yi, who was enjoying his daughter's considerate service, didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he found that his face was wet. He had to stop Xi Xi and rubbed his face against the clothes on his arm. "Let's give the little bun a bath!"
