320: Chapter 320: Why Not Eat Minced at!
Night.
At ho.
“Dinner ti…!”
Xiao Fei carried the last dish to the table, calling out loudly:
“Honey, co and eat!
Kids, go wash your hands!”
Upon hearing Xiao Fei’s words, the four of them—one adult and three kids—imdiately went to wash their hands and then ran to the table to sit down.
Ever since Xiao Fei injured his legs, they hadn’t had a chance to eat a al cooked by him.
Xiao Fei knew that his beloved wife and the three children had been longing for his cooking.
He had spoiled their taste buds so much in the past.
“Eating~ Eating~ Eating~”
Just as Tang Yuxin placed him in his high chair, the second child happily started tapping his little spoon.
Tang Yuxin gently pinched his cheek.
“Have you forgotten?
Daddy and Mommy told you not to tap on your bowl at the dinner table.”
“Oh~ Sorry, Mommy, I was just too happy.”
The second child grinned broadly.
Tang Yuxin playfully flicked his forehead.
“What?
You’re not happy eating the food Mommy makes?”
“No~ Way~”
The second child stretched out his voice, rubbing his little head against Tang Yuxin’s arm, starting to act coy.
“Alright, alright, let’s eat.”
After Xiao Fei spoke, the family began to eat.
After missing Xiao Fei’s cooking for so long, everyone was particularly happy during this al.
“Hubby…
this taste is really nostalgic…”
“Eat properly.
You always tell the kids not to talk with your mouth full, yet here you are doing just that.”
“Hmm~”
Tang Yuxin humd softly, silencing herself.
After a while, Tang Yuxin suddenly said, “Hubby, shouldn’t you go buy a car?”
“You’re right.”
Xiao Fei nodded.
His original Land Rover Defender was basically totaled in the car accident.
He really did need to buy another car.
“Why don’t we go check it out tomorrow?”
“Sure, since I’m still on vacation.”
After Tang Yuxin finished speaking, the second child suddenly said, “Daddy, can I eat that?”
The couple looked over, discovering the second child pointing at the braised chicken wings on the table.
Xiao Fei looked at the second child.
The little one was only three years old, but his baby teeth had all co in.
Technically, they could eat any adult food now.
Xiao Fei had always prepared their als ticulously.
The parents’ and the kids’ als were separated, and the children never really complained.
However, perhaps because they could once again enjoy a al their dad cooked, the second child was suddenly interested in the braised chicken wings on the table.
“You know, babies, you can indeed try these.”
Xiao Fei smiled and picked out a piece for each of the three kids.
“Could they be too spicy?”
Tang Yuxin felt a bit worried.
Xiao Fei’s braised chicken wings contained quite a bit of chili.
Even though both parents were from Sichuan Province, the kids hadn’t really fully encountered spicy food yet.
“Try it, Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother.
Be careful and take a tiny, tiny bite first, or it might be too spicy.”
The children were a little scared but the aroma of the braised chicken wings was too tempting, so they couldn’t resist and took a bite.
Chew, chew, chew…
Three cute little faces lit up simultaneously.
Xiao Fei and Tang Yuxin were stunned…
The kids weren’t burned by the spice?
Is this…
an innate talent?
“Is it tasty?”
“Tasty…
aty…”
The eldest humd approvingly and continued to eat.
So, Xiao Fei and Tang Yuxin didn’t pay much attention, but after a while, Xiao Fei suddenly frowned.
“Second child, what’s going on here?”
He pointed at the table in front of the second child.
By now, chicken wings were piled up next to the little one’s bowl.
All the braised chicken wings had just a single bite taken from the atiest part before being discarded.
The eldest and third child tried their best to eat all the at from each piece, but the second child was too wasteful.
The second child shyly looked at her bowl, filled with pieces she ate only one bite of, and said quietly, “I couldn’t get to the at.”
“That’s wasting food, do you understand?”
Xiao Fei tapped the table with his finger, maintaining a stern expression.
“Wasting food is absolutely unacceptable.”
“Didn’t Daddy teach you that once food is in your bowl, you must eat it all, not leave anything because…”
“Because farrs work hard to grow it.”
The second child interrupted.
Then, she lowered her head: “But chicken wings aren’t grown by farrs.”
Xiao Fei and Tang Yuxin laughed in exasperation.
This kid learned to play word gas?
“Second child, eat all those wings clean.”
The second child timidly looked up at Xiao Fei, seeing her dad seriously looking at her, and then turned to Tang Yuxin, who also wore a serious expression.
The little one pouted, tears starting to form in her eyes.
Tang Yuxin and Xiao Fei imdiately felt sympathy but held back from comforting her.
Wasting food is absolutely unacceptable.
Seeing no change in their stance, with her brother and sister helpless, the second child could only let her tears fall while using a small spoon to try to eat the wings clean.
And then accidentally dropped one onto the table.
“Using a spoon is inconvenient, you can use your hands to eat.”
Xiao Fei added.
“But…
Daddy, didn’t you say we shouldn’t use our hands during als?”
The second child felt extrely aggrieved.
“Then learn from your brother and sister; how are they eating?”
The eldest and third child were eating the wings from their bowls by burying their heads down to gnaw.
Xiao Fei had indeed taught them not to use their hands directly when eating, to avoid dirtying them.
Adults could skillfully use chopsticks to handle wings, but little ones couldn’t manage that yet.
…
So the second child was annoyed.
With Xiao Fei’s permission, the second child picked up the wings with her hands and started trying earnestly to eat them.
The little one kept eating while tears stread down, which landed on the wings and got mixed up with the at she swallowed.
After eating a few, her pace slowed down.
Apparently, she was full.
Looking at the pile of wings still beside her, the second child felt increasingly frustrated.
Xiao Fei sighed, stood up, and walked behind the second child, rubbing her head.
“Second child, both food and at are precious, you must eat them clean, don’t waste.”
“This ti it’s a lesson.
If you can’t finish, Mommy and Daddy can help you.”
“But this must never happen again, okay?”
“Second child, you know, there are many children in the world who can’t even eat full als and are hungry every day.”
Xiao Fei educated not only the second child but also the eldest and third child.
The eldest curiously raised his head: “Daddy, are there children who don’t get enough food?”
“Of course.”
“Then…
if they don’t fill up on als, why don’t they eat at?”
“…?????”
“Why not eat minced at!?”
Xiao Fei hadn’t expected his child to ask such a question.
He exchanged a look with Tang Yuxin, both seeing the seriousness in the other’s eyes.
It seed that the kids had grown up living too comfortably, unaware of hardships faced by others.
Rubbing his forehead, Xiao Fei made a decision.
“Honey, let’s take a day and bring the kids to visit those poorer areas?”
“Sure.”
This ti, Tang Yuxin was completely in agreent.
