Su Shen gazed at the neatly sliced fruit, assuming that Gu Zi had gotten over the day’s events back in the town and had put the incident behind her. As he savored the fruit, it tasted exceptionally sweet.

However, it was only after Li Hua left in the afternoon that Su Shen gradually realized that the matter was far from over.

While Gu Zi was taking care of Lele, Su Shen, as usual, sat down next to her. She naturally placed their daughter between them, even making an excuse to move a bit further away from him.

When Su Shen mentioned that he would be spending the day at home with them, she merely responded with an “Oh” and told their daughter, “Lele, you’re so lucky. Daddy is home to play with you again.”

Her words seemed cheerful, but something was amiss.

He had clearly said he would be spending time with both of them, yet she insisted on saying he was there for their daughter. Su Shen felt as if he was being singled out.

He wanted to have a serious talk with this young woman, but she began to avoid him.

One moment she said she needed to take a bath, the next she claimed she had to wait for the children at the village entrance. When Su Shen offered to accompany her, she declined, asking why a grown man would always follow a woman around.

Feeling helpless, Su Shen decided to go upstairs and wash the clothes she had changed out of.

As he washed the clothes, his mind wandered, and he couldn’t help but recall Aunt Zhang’s words. He knew very well that he had never considered having his own child. He had always thought that raising Su Bing and the others well would be an accomplishment in itself.

But now, he didn’t seem so sure.

“Rip!” The sound of fabric tearing brought Su Shen back to reality. He looked at the silk underwear in his hand, now with a large hole, and felt a sense of panic.

He knew her habits well. She liked to wash her underwear separately first, then hang them to dry before washing the rest of her clothes. So, he had also started by washing her underwear separately.

The underwear she had taken off was made of black silk, small and delicate in his hand, with a faint scent of fermented yogurt. It smelled good.

Despite his careful handling, he had still managed to tear it.

For a moment, Su Shen felt terrible. Not only did he always upset her, but he had also torn her underwear. He sank into deep self-blame, a sense of failure he had never experienced before…

After finishing the laundry, Su Shen came downstairs to the sound of commotion in the living room, all caused by his second child.

“Brother, I think I look better in the dog-head cotton shoes than you do. Why did mom buy us the same ones? Lele’s ones are different. But Lele’s rabbit ones aren’t as nice as our dog-head ones, right?”

Su Bing glanced at his younger brother, indicating his disinterest in the topic.

Gu Zi intervened, “They all look good. Our second child is the cutest, the eldest is the coolest, and our little girl is the most charming!”

Hearing his mother’s praise, Su Bing felt a warm glow in his heart. His mother thought he was cool!

So, being cool could also be likable.

Upon hearing her mother speak of her, Su Le shifted his little feet, seemingly eager to showcase her rabbit shoes.

Her older siblings, the eldest and the second child, paraded around the living room in their dog-head cotton shoes, occasionally interacting with Big Yellow, the family dog.

The second child, in particular, teased the dog by saying, “Big Yellow, look! I’ve put your head on my shoes. Do they look good?”

Big Yellow stared back at the second child with an expression of utter disbelief. If the dog could talk, he would surely retort, “You’re the dog! You’re more of a dog than I am.”

Unfazed by the dog’s silent judgment, the second child continued to strut around the living room like a model, refusing to take off his shoes even as his feet began to sweat.

Su Shen asked, “How do you remember their shoe sizes?”

Gu Zi had just removed Lele’s shoes and replaced them with sandals. She approached the second child, intending to remove his shoes so she could wash them. Once they were clean and dry, she would put them away for a month or so until they were needed again.

Upon hearing Su Shen’s question, she replied, “Of course I remember. I created a growth chart for each of them on my computer. I regularly measure their height, weight, and other metrics, and record the data. After all, I believe in scientifically raising children. ”

Su Shen fell silent. He felt inadequate as a father and, it seemed, as a husband as well.

He knew that this woman was exceptionally meticulous. Every new piece of clothing or pair of shoes had to be washed before being worn. Since her arrival, the entire family had adopted her meticulous habits.

Su Shen truly felt that life had improved thanks to this little woman.

Of course, Su Shen was not discouraged. He simply recognized that he needed to do better, and he was determined to make changes..
