Chapter 10 - Does The Kid Look Like You When You Were Young? (1)
Making up his mind that he needed to boost his performance even more so mommy would like him more, little kiddo XingXing raised his hands and said he could put his own clothes on.
For the fun of it, Cheng Huan accepted his proposal. She put the clothes down, stood to one side, and said to him, “Okay, you put them on yourself then.”
This was not XingXing’s first time putting clothes on by himself. He was somewhat experienced and knew what went on first.
He picked up his underwear and raised it up to eye level. He stared at it for a while solemnly before he lifted one of his legs and put it through one of the openings.
Cheng Huan, sitting to one side, tried hard not to laugh out loud while watching him putting it on backward. She purposefully omitted pointing that out to him.
XingXing proudly put his underwear on, stood back up, and pulled it up. It was only after he had pulled it all the way up before he realized something didn’t feel right.
The little kiddo looked down and stared at the glaringly obvious extra fabric between his legs and let out an “Eh?”. He reached out and touched the backside of it before he finally realized what was wrong with it.
He peeked at his mother quickly, and Cheng Huan quickly turned away and pretended she hadn’t noticed his mistake. XingXing let out a sigh of relief secretly before he pulled his underwear down and flipped it so the right side faced forward as fast as he could.
Putting on clothes was no small feat!
XingXing patted the only fabric on his body as though he had achieved some great accomplishment.
“Mom!”
“Hmm?” Cheng Huan turned back at him and exclaimed like she had just noticed, “XingXing put it on by himself! You are so good!”
“Keke.”
The little kiddo was very happy after he was praised. He pulled over a top from the side and started putting that on too.
The set of clothes that Cheng Huan had picked up with a short-sleeve white tee and a pair of medium-length army green shorts. She had washed the set carefully the night before and it still has the scent of the detergent.
XingXing, with the tee in his hand, looked at it forward and back. He studied it for half a day and still couldn’t figure out how to put it in. He pouted as he thought about it, found an opening, and was about to thrust his hand through.
“Alright. Let me help you with that.”
Cheng Huan stopped him quickly when she noticed that the little kiddo was thrusting his hands through the collar.
“I will help you with the rest of them.”
XingXing, feeling slightly embarrassed, said, “Mom, I can do it.”
“I know that XingXing can put his clothes on by himself, but you are still a baby. Sometimes it’s okay to let others help you,” said Cheng Huan as she took the tee from the little kiddo, shifted it right side up, and pulled it over his head.
“C’mon, put your arm through here.”
“Oh.”
The little kiddo looked at the cuffs with his head cocked and put his arm through it.
After he has put on his clothes and shoes, Cheng Huan tidied him up some more. The little kiddo obviously has some great genes. Having a new set of clothes on turned him from a little bum to a handsome little boy.
“Okay, we are done. Our XingXing is so good looking!”
XingXing’s gluttony side had been dragged out by the food smell a long time ago. He hopped off the bed immediately as soon as Cheng Huan said they were done.
He dashed over to the sink in the bathroom and called out, “Come brush your teeth quickly, Mom!”
“Coming!”
The kid was just 4 years old and about 1 meter in height. He was barely the height of the sink.
Cheng Huan pulled over a little stool and had him stand on top of it before she handed him his toothbrush with toothpaste on it.
She got him a kids’ toothbrush that has a frog on the handle. XingXing had never seen a toothbrush that looked like that and was very curious about it.
He played with it for a bit. Remembering his mission, he imitated what he had seen before and thrust the toothbrush into his mouth.
The kids’ toothpaste tasted quite different from the adult kind. It was fruit flavored.
As soon as it was inside of his mouth, XingXing’s eyes widened. He bit down on the toothbrush and chewed on it a couple of times.
“Mom. This is tasty!”
“You are not supposed to eat that,” said Cheng Huan, resigned. She held onto his hand and pulled the toothbrush out of his mouth before she gave him a cup of water to gargle.
“Slosh it in your mouth a couple of times and spit it back out. Don’t drink it.”
After he had finished gargling, Cheng Huan reapplied some toothpaste. Not letting him do it himself this time, she said, “Open up your mouth and bare your teeth. Like this.”
She showed him how to do it, and XingXing mimicked what she had done and revealed his baby teeth.
Cheng Huan brushed his teeth while telling him the process. She covered the top, bottom, inside, and outside areas before she let him gargle again.
XingXing spit the water out, and Cheng Huan wet down a towel and wiped his face with it.
The little kiddo was very curious about the sensitivity after his teeth were brushed. His mouth stayed open the entire time Cheng Huan was washing his face.
“Mom.” He followed Cheng Huan in the living room’s direction while pointing at the inside of his mouth and said, “It’s icy.”
“That’s because all the little bugs in your mouth were gone,” said Cheng Huan as she lifted him into a chair. “Too many little bugs means it will be painful for XingXing, and your teeth will turn black and ugly. That’s why you will need to brush your teeth in the morning and at night from now on, okay?”
The little kiddo was a little startled. He widened his eyes and covered his mouth with one hand. “I don’t want little bugs, Mom.”
“You won’t have little bugs as long as you brush your teeth on schedule,” said Cheng Huan as she poured him a bowl of millet porridge.
