"There are no extra chairs at ho," Song Grandpa said with a righteous air.
Clearly, he was making things difficult for Ji Yebai.
Ning Xixi looked hopefully at Ji Grandpa. "Grandpa... you can’t not let Dabai have a al."
Ji Grandpa stroked his beard with a distant look. "Who’s Dabai? I don’t know him."
"Grandpa... Dabai is standing right here..."
"Who says you have to sit to eat? A healthy young man should have no problem eating while squatting!"
Ji Yebai had a vein popping. Grandpa, are you treating your own grandson like a dog?
Ning Xixi: ╮(╯▽╰)╭ It turns out Dabai is the pitiful one...
Ji Yebai had already been hurt so many tis that he was used to it.
He slightly lowered his head, his bangs covering his eyes, making it unclear whether he was joyful or sorrowful.
Ning Xixi felt sympathy; if it were anyone else treating Ji Yebai like this, he would surely have lashed out, easily shutting the other person up.
But she also knew Ji Yebai was very filial. He certainly wouldn’t get angry with Ji Grandpa and Song Grandpa over this, so he chose to silently accept it all.
For so reason... she felt a bit sorry for Ji Yebai.
She clenched her rosy fists, her bright eyes swirling. "We can sit together!"
Seeing everyone’s eyes on her, Ning Xixi thought they misunderstood. Like she was going to sit on Ji Yebai’s lap in so embarrassing scenario, she quickly clarified, "I an, Grandpa’s chairs are big enough. If we squeeze together a bit... we should both fit."
The Song Family furniture all had a traditional Chinese style, with redwood tables and chairs. Two people sitting on one chair wasn’t much of an issue.
Hearing this, Ji Yebai felt a warmth in his heart.
His wife was still on his side~ So, a bit of grievance was nothing. ~\(≧▽≦)/~
But Song Grandpa and Ji Grandpa beca unsettled, rushing to say:
"Oh, oh, I rembered, there’s a spare chair at ho. Sister Zhang, bring the chair over!"
"Xixi, we can’t let you squeeze together with this brat. What if it hurts you? Besides, the space is so small, it’s uncomfortable to squeeze!"
Ji Yebai: ... Heh, Grandpa, that’s not what you said to just now.
Comparing people... really frustrates you.
The maid brought over the chair, and Ji Yebai finally had sowhere to sit.
"Sweetheart, eat more! Fish is good for your brain!"
"Xixi, this fish soup is really fresh!"
"Good child, eat more, look how thin you’ve gotten!"
The three elders took turns putting food into Ning Xixi’s bowl. Unable to refuse their kindness, she looked at the pile of food like a small mountain in her bowl with so wistfulness.
#A kind of thin, called elders think you’re thin#
#A kind of hunger, called elders think you’re hungry#
Ji Yebai had it much worse, silently eating plain rice from his bowl.
Summoning his courage to grab a piece of fish, he was thwarted by a chilling glance from his own grandpa.
"Don’t touch our Xixi’s fish! You’re already tall and smart enough, just eat so greens."
Ji Yebai truly learned what differential treatnt was, reluctantly picking so greens to mix with his rice, compared to the dishes in front of Ning Xixi, it was a stark contrast of a gourt feast versus a poor boy’s al!
Feeling bad, Ning Xixi shared so of her food with Ji Yebai.
"Grandpa, Grandpa Song, you’re not allowed to bully Dabai anymore! Otherwise, I’ll be unhappy!"
