Chapter 12

“Mom, it smells so good, Nan Nan wants to eat braised pork!”

Ou Zinan’s word “Mom” made Song Chenchen even more embarrassed.

“Nannan, be good. You can’t do this.”

Song Chenchen stopped him in a low voice.

During this period of time, her relationship with Ou Zinan became more and more like that of real mother and son.

Song Chenchen didn’t like children very much, and didn’t know how to take care of them.

It was purely under Ou Mobei’s guidance that I learned how to make milk powder and give Ou Zinan a bath.

At first, she scooped a spoonful of milk powder from a 500ml bottle and filled a pot with hot water.

Then, something embarrassing happened.

In order to make the milk powder dissolve quickly, she first took it in her hand and shook it vigorously.

As a result, as soon as the bottle cap was opened, boiling hot milk spurted out of the bottle that had held back the air, scalding Song Chenchen’s hand.

“Are you okay?”

Nan Nan pouted and complained that she didn’t know how to make milk, but Ou Mobei was so nervous that he held her hand and quickly put it under the tap to cool it down.

“I’m fine. Don’t forget, I’m a doctor. This little burn won’t affect my daily life with a scalpel.”

After all, she had just married Ou Mobei at that time.

She was so nervous that she pulled her hand away and started to deal with the problem urgently on her own.

“You’re still calling it a small matter? Doctor Song can’t even make milk. How will he feed the baby after he has one?”

“I, I won’t give birth…”

Song Chenchen had no plans to have children at all, she blurted out.

But he didn’t care about the change in expression on Ou Mobei’s face at all.

“Come here, I’ll teach you how to make milk.”

He picked up the bottle, poured out the original milk, and washed it again.

“This 500ml bottle can only hold 300ml at most.

Nan Nan is no longer old enough to rely on milk powder to fill his stomach. Do you treat him as a water buffalo?

These 500ml can burst his little stomach.

Also, according to the instructions, it usually takes 100ml of water to make one spoonful of milk powder, so…”

“So, three spoonfuls, I remember!”

Song Chenchen’s words made Ou Mobei nod.

“Yes, it turns out that Dr. Song is not stupid.”

“Sigh…you’re the stupid one!”

Later, Ou Mobei taught Ou Zinan how to take a bath and sleep, little by little.

Alas, she went from being a temporary “nanny” who passively took care of the child to a real “stepmother”.

Otherwise, they will be transferred to a nursing home.

Not only is the salary reduced, but the battlefield allowance is also gone.

It’s enough of a headache to face vampire uncles and aunts all day long.

.

“Come on, please come in, the three of you.”

Amidst the constant calls of “Mom” from Ou Zinan, Gu Haiyang brought the “mother and son” into the small restaurant.

The words that the proprietress shouted at the restaurant door just now, along with the words of the children along the way, seemed to be conveying a message to the diners in the restaurant.

That is, these three people are a family of three.

“Captain Gu, I haven’t seen you for many years. I’m so happy to see you back and so happy now.

Today’s meal is my treat, so feel free to order whatever you want.”

The proprietress and the boss came out together.

The proprietress began to take their order.

“Well, I, I’m not…”

Song Chenchen always wanted to find an opportunity to explain to the boss’s wife that they were not husband and wife.

However, seeing the boss lady smiling from ear to ear, I had no time to listen to what she wanted to say.

The diners nearby started whispering to each other as they looked at the PLA couple at the table.

Gu Haiyang didn’t react at all. He handed Song Chenchen a menu.

“Let’s see what you want to eat and order it together.”

His tone was light and deliberate, and he didn’t speak to Song Chenchen as casually as Ou Mobei did.

“No, I’m not picky about food, just order something the child can eat.

Nannan is in full-time kindergarten for a week. The food there isn’t as good as at home.”

After listening to this, Gu Haiyang nodded and started to carefully select from the menu.

“I want this, braised pork.

I also want this, stir-fried shrimp…”

After ordering some Western dishes and a soup, Gu Haiyang handed the menu to Song Chenchen again.

“Let’s take a look. What do you want to add?”

“Well, give me some egg custard for Nan Nan.”

“Okay, this mother is really competent, she always thinks about her child’s favorite food.

Captain Gu, you’ve found a really good wife.”

“She’s my mom, he’s not my dad.”

The proprietress’s original conversation was interrupted by Ou Zinan’s words.

None of the three spoke.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

“Well, I…he…is not my husband.”

Song Chenchen pointed at Gu Haiyang, not knowing how to explain all this in front of Ou Zinan and the proprietress.

In this situation, if I tell Ou Zinan that Gu Haiyang is his father, he probably won’t be able to eat the meal.

Everything else is their privacy, and there is no need to explain so much to the boss lady in this public place.

“You, hurry up and serve the food. The children need to go home early after eating.”

Song Chenchen quickly changed the subject and urged the proprietress.

“Oh, oh, okay, okay.”

The proprietress looked at Gu Haiyang, asked no more questions, and quickly left with the menu.

Gu Haiyang’s face turned pale, but he didn’t want to show it too much in front of the child and Song Chenchen.

“Come, heat up the dishes.”

He picked up the kettle beside him and started pouring boiling water into the enamel basin from a distance away from Ou Zinan.

Then, the bowls, chopsticks and spoons of the three people were thrown in for “disinfection”.

Afterwards, they were placed one by one on the table in front of their seats.

“The couple who run this shop were rescued by us on the front lines ten years ago.

Later, the military district saw that they were simple people, so they helped introduce them to a restaurant that opened here.

The boss is a man of few words and is honest and loyal.

The proprietress is a person of quick wit and outspokenness.

They are all good people, so don’t mind what happened just now.”

After hearing Gu Haiyang’s explanation, Song Chenchen was too embarrassed to say anything.

She was just worried about what the diners next to her were thinking.

After all, Ou Zinan’s words “You are…” and “You are not…” just now were really loud.

“Well, it’s okay. It’s all a misunderstanding. Just talk it out. If you don’t get upset when people don’t know you, isn’t that the way of a gentleman?”

Song Chenchen thought: You are so pretentious…

“Mom, Mom…”

At this time, Ou Zinan grabbed Song Chenchen’s sleeve and wanted to speak.

Oops, the two of them were so busy with embarrassment and explanations that they forgot about the child.

“What’s wrong, Nannan?”

“Mom, who is he?”

Ou Zinan pointed at Gu Haiyang and asked.

“He was also wearing a PLA uniform. I’ve seen him in my father’s photo album.”

“Nannan, I am…”

Gu Haiyang was about to introduce himself when he was interrupted by Song Chenchen.

“Captain Gu, some things cannot be rushed. We are here to eat today.”

Song Chenchen was afraid that Ou Zinan would not be able to accept that his father had been replaced.

After all, he was raised by Ou Mobei.

I have a very deep relationship with Ou Mobei!

Gu Haiyang nodded to Song Chenchen, telling her not to worry.

“Nannan, let me introduce myself. I am Ou Mobei’s comrade-in-arms.

I am also a PLA uncle.

My last name is Gu, you can call me Uncle Gu…

What kind of self-introduction is this? What a bunch of nonsense!

But Song Chenchen was unable to refute.

“Uncle Gu!”
