On a sunny day during the weekend, Chu Xun put a bib around Jiu Jiu and let Lin Yanchen do it.

Lin Yanchen rubbed Jiu Jiu’s head; the baby’s scalp was soft. He was a little afraid to start, and looked back at Chu Xun. “How about, maybe you should do it instead?” JIDS8s

Chu Xun shook his head. “No, no, I dare not. I think you can shave better than me. You do it, you do it.”

Lin Yanchen: “Or maybe it’s better to take him to a barber shop outside to shave it?”

Teacher Chu couldn’t watch anymore. He rolled up his sleeves and said, “It’s just shaving his head, why all these excuses? Let me do it.”

As the razor buzzed, he shaved off all of Jiu Jiu’s hair in a few strokes, and carefully collected the soft baby hair in a handkerchief. “We can take it to get it made into a writing brush.” GuBhpC

After Jiu Jiu’s head was shaved, Chu Xiaopang couldn’t recognize him. He circled Jiu Jiu in bewilderment, accidentally stepping into Da Tou’s territory. He was scratched and chased away pitifully by Da Tou.

We have to talk about Da Tou. Chu Xun saved him when he was a kitten, though it was said that cats could only remember the last five seconds. It was more than two years before he saw Chu Xun again, and when he did, he had completely forgotten him, and ignored Chu Xun for several days. Finally, he just barely tolerated Chu Xun. Maybe it was because stray cats were born with social characters. In the past, he would readily show his claws and wouldn’t let strangers pet him, so Lin Yanchen, who raised Da Tou, was the only one in the family who could touch Da Tou.

Da Tou was so fierce that Chu Xun didn’t dare let him close to Jiu Jiu at first.

Later, he once put Jiu Jiu into a small circular playpen, turned around to get something, and then turned back to find that Da Tou had quietly jumped to Jiu Jiu’s side, and was examining the silly baby with his sharp eyes. wgDC9F

Jiu Jiu smiled at Da Tou and reached for the cat’s tail.

Chu Xun was frightened. Could you just casually touch a cat’s tail at will? Would Jiu Jiu not be scratched?

At that moment, Chu Xun saw that not only didn’t Da Tou scratch Jiu Jiu, he even lay down.

Jiu Jiu happily rubbed the cat and even put Da Tou’s tail into his mouth to eat. He didn’t have many teeth, and it didn’t hurt when he bit down. Da Tou looked back at him as if he were a fool, but let him bite as he wished. sPrYpA

Jiu Jiu felt it didn’t taste good, so he stopped eating. He continued to treat Da Tou as a toy and went to grab the cat’s ears.

Not only didn’t Da Tou resist, he also contentedly tucked his paws under him, forming a round cat pancake.

Jiu Jiu was the most unkind; seeing the cat and dog quarrel, he wasn’t worried, and just laughed at the scene.

Watching the whole process, Chu Xun was stunned. He said to Lin Yanchen, “Your son is pretty bad, being so happy to see Chu Xiaopang beaten up. I thought they were best friends.”

Lin Yanchen said, “In the past, Old Zhuo was once pecked by a swan. I laughed at him for a week.”

Chu Xun said, “Oh, so he got it from you.” dblGFx

Now that Jiu Jiu had a little bald head from being shaved, Lin Yanchen got a little monk’s clothing and cloth shoes the next day to take photos of him.

Chu Xun barely held in his snort. “You want your son to be a monk?”

Lin Yanchen said, “It’s just a photo. How adorable. Is there any little monk as cute as this?”

Chu Xun: “…” wBWQbL

Xiao Lin was still so good at playing around.

Chu Xun originally thought that he was very obsessed with his child. In the first few months of Jiu Jiu’s life, he took photos every day and wrote records. After doing this for a long time, he started to get lazy. After going to work every day, he was exhausted and only wrote one page every few days.

Lin Yanchen, however, was full of passion. Not only did he get a little monk costume, he also got costumes of a little astronaut, little cook, little racer, little pilot, little priest. He also got into the small animal theme, such as a little panda, little rabbit, little frog, and so on.

Don’t make fun of it, it was rather cute. 2D3zyC

Chu Xun wondered where all these clothes came from. He couldn’t find them on the Internet. Later, he found out that they were made by Lin Yanchen and Zhuo Linhui. After the photos were taken, they had to be sent to be appreciated by his godfathers, who praised the baby’s cuteness together.

Chu Xun used to think that his rose-colored glasses for Jiu Jiu were thick enough, but he didn’t expect there to be a group of guys who were even more irrational than he was.

Lin Yanchen wasn’t ashamed at all. “I think it’s very meaningful. When Jiu Jiu grows up, he can look at these photos instead of having no memory of this time at all.”

Lin Yanchen didn’t have very good childhood memories. His sick mother had been bedridden, and his father was busy with work; he had very few happy memories with his family. Chu Xun’s childhood wasn’t so good either. When he was a child, his father was very strict with him, and could be called a tiger father. Now, he would occasionally dote on Jiu Jiu, and Chu Xun was even a little jealous. He once asked Teacher Chu about it, and Teacher Chu self-righteously said that it was his grandson, not son. Later, however, Chu Xun thought that maybe he was old now and his heart was softer, and he had a lot of free time so he was too lonely. When he was young, he had to fight for his career. How could he have so much time to spoil his children, like Chu Xun and Lin Yanchen? SYUeTR

Jiu Jiu’s hair slowly grew out again. It was darker and thicker than before, but it was still very soft. What was strange was that his hair had been a little curly before, but it had now straightened a little. Maybe it was because it wasn’t long enough. It was only two or three knuckles in length, about four centimeters long.

One day, Grandma was watching a TV program with Jiu Jiu in her arms, where lottery prizes were being drawn. “The winner of the ten-day European tour for two is the audience member with the phone number with the last four digits of XXXX. Please contact our program team as soon as possible…”

Grandma put on her presbyopic glasses, bewildered by the list of winners, and asked Chu Xun. “Jun Jun, you come and help Mom see if I’ve won?”

Chu Xun went over and helped to match her phone number. It seemed that she had won a lottery prize? He directly made a call to the program team with his mother’s cell phone; his mother had really won a prize. w1IAiD

Grandma was surprised and said, “I just sent a text to the contest in passing. This isn’t one of those scams which target honest elderly folk, is it?”

Jiu Jiu looked up at Grandma. “Grandma!”

Chu Xun laughed. “No, you won. You’re in your fifties, you’re not old. How can you be considered ‘elderly’? I think you’re middle-aged at most. You have a smooth face. People would believe you even if you said you are in your forties. Didn’t you go out community dancing a few days ago, and got hit on by other old men?”

His grandmother rolled her eyes. “Don’t mention that. Your father has already sulked for two days after hearing about it. I only managed to coax him with a lot of difficulty.” MgVyms

Thinking of this matter, Chu Xun found it funny. “I know. He even secretly asked Xiao Lin to dye his gray hair black. He even told me not to tell you. I forgot to tell you. Ha ha ha ha.”

Mother and son laughed at the old man together. Grandma thought for a while and said, “I still have to take care of Jiu Jiu. You can call the program team again and say that I won’t accept the prize. Let them draw another one.”

Chu Xun said, “It’s a two-person tour. You’re so lucky, it would be a pity not to go. It’s just ten days. If you’re not here for ten days, do you think Jiu Jiu won’t recognize you? Xiao Lin and I can also take care of Jiu Jiu. Jiu Jiu is so obedient and doesn’t bother people. Go, it’s OK.”

Mrs. Chu still hesitated. She and Teacher Chu both spoke a little English, and weren’t afraid to go out to play… She was just a little reluctant to leave Jiu Jiu. 9ZT5 q

Chu Xun sincerely advised her, “Over the past two years, you two have gone through so much; you must be exhausted. Don’t worry about me and Jiu Jiu. It’s good to relax sometimes.”

Chu Xun helped her with the prize exchange, got them their visas, and changed enough money into foreign currency.

Lin Yanchen raised both hands to send off the old couple who were going out to play. This way, there would only be him and Chu Xun left at home. Anyway, Jiu Jiu didn’t really understand anything. Lin Yanchen could be intimate with Chu Xun to his heart’s content. Lin Yanchen was a very considerate son-in-law. “After landing, someone will come pick you up. You can get on the bus and let them guide you around to play. You don’t have to think about anything else. Just have fun. If the money isn’t enough, just let that person pay for you first, and I’ll foot the bill. Buy whatever you want, it doesn’t matter.”

He had to make sure that his father-in-law and mother-in-law had a good time and forgot home and duty, so that he and Chu Xun could live alone together for a few days. 7Z6X2t

Teacher Chu: “…”

Chu Xun and Lin Yanchen sent their parents onto the plane together. Chu Xun wasn’t naive, but was rather solemn instead. “It’s now just the two of us and Jiu Jiu left holding down the fort.”

Lin Yanchen: “???”

On the first day of the grandparents’ absence, the two dads were extremely flustered and busy. i4Ubj

Lin Yanchen only now realized how far the ideal was from reality.

Especially because when Jiu Jiu couldn’t find his grandparents, he lost a great sense of security. He crawled around to find them and cried in his milky voice, “Grandma,” but couldn’t find her anywhere.

Lin Yanchen cooked the baby food according to Teacher Chu’s recipe. He personally thought he did pretty well, but Jiu Jiu, who always had a good appetite, only ate half a bowl.

The most troublesome thing was that during the day, both of them had to work. Who would take care of the child? They wouldn’t feel at ease if they just looked for a nanny to take care of him. fGQpnF

Lin Yanchen had originally patted his chest and vowed, “What’s there to worry about? Jiu Jiu has one, two, three, four, four godfathers, and my father. Why don’t we take turns taking care of the child?”

Zhan Hongyu: “Are you serious? I entered a movie production last week, I now go to bed at two o’clock every night and wake up at seven or eight o’clock in the morning. Now you want me to take care of your child? If you had told me earlier, I wouldn’t have taken the movie!”

Lin Yanchen: “…”

Yuan Hao: “I have to work too, big brother. Weekends are OK, I don’t work then.” 0Q5dEI

Lin Yanchen: “I don’t go to work on the weekends either!”

Qin Xiuming: “I have recently been conducting some business in Japan…”

Zhuo Linhui: “Why didn’t you say so earlier? If you said something earlier, I wouldn’t have taken part in this fashion show. I just flew to Paris the day before yesterday. I need a week. Wait, I’ll go to your house when it’s over.”

President Lin: “Sure, but I have something to do these couple of days. The day after tomorrow, I can take care of Jiu Jiu for you for three days.” Pt4Dne

Chu Xun comforted him and said, “We don’t need to ask others for help. Let’s just take care of him ourselves.”

Lin Yanchen hesitated and asked, “What should we do during the day? Find a nanny?”

Chu Xun said, “Can’t we just take him to our companies? Jiu Jiu is so good that he probably wouldn’t cry.”

Lin Yanchen: “!!!” zi8hdu

Right, there was also that!

The next day.

The Lin Group Y City branch staff saw a strange scene.

Their cold and handsome President Lin was wearing a black suit, and over it, a baby sling. He looked like a kangaroo father, with a baby hanging from his chest. He supported the baby with one hand and pushed a stroller with the other. ozWvD7
