At around 5 o'clock in the morning, it was still dark outside. Su Mingzhe opened his eyes. He gently took away his wife's hand from his body, lifted the quilt and slowly got up.
After getting up, I stretched my body and slept for more than 10 hours to let the fatigue of the journey disappear.
After yawning, he went to the bathroom to wash up. After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Su Mingzhe returned to the bed and found that his daughter Xiaomi was also awake.
He was very sensible and didn't cry. He was staring at his father with wide eyes.
Su Mingzhe walked over and picked her up and kissed her:
"Daddy's good daughter, let's go out, please, and don't disturb your mother's sleep!"
"If you don't say anything, dad will take it as your consent. Let's go downstairs!"
Su Mingzhe carried his daughter downstairs, went to the kitchen, put some rice and some water in the rice cooker, planned to cook some porridge, and then took his daughter to the backyard garden.
He was whistling, holding his daughter in one hand, and watering the flowers with a showerhead in the other, looking very leisurely.
As Su Mingzhe poured water, he always felt that something was missing at home.
After thinking about it carefully, it turned out that most of the neighbors nearby were old Americans. They all kept a puppy at home. Su Mingzhe also wanted to keep one and planned to ask his wife for her opinion later.
At this time, Su Mingzhe saw the nanny Aunt Zheng coming over and asked in confusion:
"Aunt Zheng, why are you here so early!"
Aunt Zheng smiled:
"Your Uncle Wang (Aunt Zheng's husband) specially asked me to come over early and bring you some of his buns!"
"Give me your little pussy. Go wash your hands and eat it. The buns won't taste good if they get cold!"
"Then thank Uncle Wang for me!" Su Mingzhe said as he handed his daughter to the nanny.
Suddenly Su Mingzhe thought of the porridge he was cooking in the kitchen and shouted:
"It's broken. I also cooked porridge in the kitchen. I forgot about it. I don't know how to cook the pot!"
After saying that, I put down the shower and hurried to the kitchen.
Aunt Zheng quickly stopped him:
"Mingzhe, the heat has been turned off. As soon as I saw the porridge, I knew it was you who made it, so I quickly added some water!"
Su Mingzhe let out a sigh of relief:
"Thank you Aunt Zheng, thank you for today!"
"It's okay, what's the matter? You should get Feifei up to eat quickly, otherwise the buns won't taste good when they get cold!" Aunt Zheng said with a smile while holding Xiaomi.
Su Mingzhe nodded, returned to the master bedroom upstairs, and first opened the thick curtains to let in the sunlight.
Then he walked to the bed, lowered his head and whispered:
"Honey, get up and eat!"
Seeing that Wu Fei didn't respond, Su Mingzhe reached out and gently patted his wife's arm outside the quilt.
He emphasized his tone slightly:
"Honey, the sun is shining on your butt, it's time to get up and eat!"
This time Wu Fei reacted, stretched out her two white and tender arms, hugged her husband's neck and acted coquettishly:
"Husband, can you help me bring breakfast?"
Su Mingzhe lowered his head and kissed his wife:
"Of course, I'll bring you breakfast."
Su Mingzhe knew that his wife didn't sleep in on purpose. The main reason was that Xiaomi needed milk at night and had to get up every few hours to feed her.
Wu Fei felt sorry for her husband who had been on a plane for a whole day and she had to get up and feed him all the time.
After Su Mingzhe went downstairs, he said to the nanny who was coaxing Xiaomi in the living room:
"Aunt Zheng, let Feifei sleep for a while. Xiaomi kept fussing last night and she didn't sleep well. I'll serve it to her later."
Aunt Zheng pointed to the buns placed in the thermos box on the dining table and said:
"Mingzhe, you eat it first. I'll heat it up for Feifei when she gets up!"
Su Mingzhe sat down, picked up a bun, took a bite, and praised:
"Aunt Zheng, Uncle Wang's craftsmanship is very good, these big buns are very delicious!"
Aunt Zheng was also very happy when she heard Su Mingzhe's praise:
"Just eat it if you like. I'll ask Uncle Wang to make it for you next time!"
After Su Mingzhe finished eating, he stretched out his hand to touch the buns. They felt they were not cold yet, so he went to the kitchen to get a plate and put some buns on it. He also filled up a bowl of porridge and planned to go upstairs to feed his wife.
At this time Aunt Zheng saw:
"Mingzhe, can I heat it up for Feifei?"
Su Mingzhe waved his hand:
"You brought it in an insulated box, and now the temperature is just right!"
After that, he went upstairs.
When I walked to the bedroom, I found that my wife Wu Fei had already gotten up and was brushing her teeth there.
After seeing Su Mingzhe coming up:
"Husband, why did you really serve it to me?"
"I'm planning on going down to eat after brushing my teeth!"
Su Mingzhe put breakfast on the small coffee table, walked behind his wife and hugged her:
"I must carry out the leader's instructions to the letter!"
Wu Fei smiled and continued brushing her teeth. After brushing her teeth, she sat down to eat steamed buns and asked while eating:
"Honey, is Aunt Zheng back?"
Su Mingzhe sat on the bed and was curious:
"how do you know?"
Wu Fei took a bite of the bun and explained:
“As soon as you taste this bun, you will know it is made by Aunt Zheng’s husband Uncle Wang!”
"Aunt Zheng's son came here a few days ago and happened to bring some steamed buns!"
After chatting for a while, Su Mingzhe thought of what he had just said in the garden:
"Honey, what do you think we get a puppy?"
Wu Fei nodded and said:
"Of course you can. Let me tell you about my husband. I really like puppies. When I was a child, my grandparents had one. Later, it accidentally got lost. I was sad for a long time!"
"Then let's go to the pet store after breakfast!" Su Mingzhe said with the napkin next to him wiping the corners of his wife's mouth.
"Well, okay!" Wu Fei said and continued to eat breakfast.
Su Mingzhe went to change clothes first, and when he came out after changing clothes, Wu Fei happened to finish eating.
While his wife was changing clothes, Su Mingzhe took the plates and cutlery downstairs and put them in the kitchen.
He walked to the living room and said to the nanny:
"Aunt Zheng, Feifei and I are going to the pet store later to buy a puppy. Your workload may have to increase a bit. Do you think it's okay to give you a $200 salary increase this month?"
Aunt Zheng shook her head and refused:
"Mingzhe, the salary you gave me is already high enough. Just one more puppy will cost you so much!"
Su Mingzhe smiled:
"Aunt Zheng, just keep it, I don't need this little money, and we get along very well, so just take it as a bonus for you!"
When Su Mingzhe saw that Aunt Zheng was still talking, he quickly interrupted:
"Don't refuse, you deserve it and it's a reward for your hard work. If you refuse again, I'll be angry!"
"You kid, let Auntie tell you what to say, Auntie thanks you.!"
Aunt Zheng didn't know what to say when she saw Su Mingzhe say this, so she could only say thank you.
The reason why she refused was not because she was pretending to be noble, but mainly because the salary Su Mingzhe gave her was already higher than the market price, and she would feel uncomfortable if she was given more salary increase.
Su Mingzhe held her daughter and played with her for a while, then Wu Fei changed her clothes and came down.
The winter in San Francisco is not too cold, and it was probably around 4 degrees today, so Wu Fei wore long boots, a pink woolen coat on the outside, and a gray tight sweater on the inside.
After arriving at the door, Su Mingzhe was about to open the car door and get in, but Wu Fei stopped him:
"Honey, I'll drive it today. If you don't drive it, I'll forget it!"
Su Mingzhe thought for a while, the pet store is not far from home:
"Okay, you drive!"
Wu Fei drove her husband to a nearby pet store.
After walking into the pet store, Wu Fei saw all kinds of kittens and puppies, and her girlish heart suddenly burst out.
The owner of this pet shop, a Chinese, came over and asked:
"What kind of pet do you want to buy?"
