Chapter 661 - Baby Gave Her Rice to Uncle (1/2)

Their house was run down but homely.

After Rainy fell asleep, Xia Ruoxin then stood up and freed her time to clean up the house. She also took her drawing materials out and took the time to do a few more paintings. Actually, the space in the house was too small, and she could only place the stuff against the couch. While her daughter was fast asleep, she was busy.

The car stopped outside yet again. Every day at this time, the man would come. No matter if he managed to see them or not, it became part of the man's responsibility.

Perhaps just looking from the outside; perhaps because there was their scent in the area. The two women were the most important people in Chu Lui's life, and they were his everything.

He got off his car and did not dare go too close.

The door opened. Xia Ruoxin held her daughter's hand and walked out.

”Come, throw this here.” Xia Ruoxin pointed at the garbage bin in front and said to Rainy. ”Rainy, you need to remember you can't leave your trash lying around. You need to help Mommy clean up, too.”

”Rainy knows.” This was not the first time Rainy had helped her mother with the chores so she was decent at it. She picked up the small bag and tip-toed to throw the rubbish into the bin before running back to hold her mother's hand.

”Let's go. Mommy will bring you to wash your hands.” Xia Ruoxin held her daughter's hands tightly and closed the door behind them as if separating them from the outside world.

She took some water and placed the bucket on the floor.

Rainy rolled her sleeves up and placed her two soft hands into the water before putting soap on them. In the end, she accidentally rubbed it all over her face. She scrunched her nose and wanted to use her hands to rub the bubbles away, but the more she did it, the more bubbles there were. Bang! She did not stand properly and accidentally rolled backward like a ball towards the couch. Luckily, the couch was soft; if not, she would have gotten hurt.

When Xia Ruoxin came out and saw Rainy sprawled on the floor with bubbles all over her face, she opened her eyes wide in shock and confusion.

She walked over and picked her daughter up before bringing her back to the bucket. Both the mother and daughter squatted down beside the bucket. Xia Ruoxin used the wet towel to wipe the bubbles off Rainy's face before helping her wash her small hands.

”Let's go eat.” She pulled her daughter's hands and sat her down at the dining table.

Then, she went to take rice for Rainy.

Rainy held her bowl but did not take a single bite.

”What's wrong? Is it yucky?” Xia Ruoxin tried her cooking. No, it was not salty nor bland. The taste was sweet and sour, just like the way this child liked it. Why was she not eating it today? Was she full?

”No, no.” Rainy shook her head vigorously. ”Mommy cooks the best food.” Her mouth still remembered to butter up to her mother.

”Then, what's wrong?” Xia Ruoxin picked the bones for her daughter.

Rainy sucked on her thumb before placing her bowl on the table and continued eating the fish that her mother gave her while her feet kept kicking below the table.

Xia Ruoxin felt that the child did not grow physically but grew mentally. She now knew how to hide things from her.
