Yang Mingxi felt very guilty. She stepped forward and picked up her seventh brother, Yang Mingqing, and said with a smile, "Good boy, Xiaoqi. You must be hungry! Come, Third Sister will help you wash your hands and have dinner."

Yang Mingqing was very light. He held the child and shook him up and down and said, "I'm afraid Xiaoqi is a little underweight. Maybe he's not getting enough nutrition."

Yang Ming smiled and said, "Xiao Qi is already very happy. Hong'er was even more miserable when he was little. He has only grown some weight in the past few months."

Yang Mingxi turned to look at Yang Minghong and said, "Honghong, come up here and let me wash your hands. It's time to eat. Our Honghong is amazing. She can take care of her little brother at such a young age."

Yang Minghong was still a little clumsy in his speech, and he said slowly, word by word: "Third sister is the best. She gives Honghong meat to eat and Qingqing milk to eat."

Yang Mingxi squatted down and said, "Third sister is the dumbest. She doesn't even have time to play with our Honghong. This afternoon, third sister will play with Honghong and Qingqing, okay? And also make some milk for Honghong."

Yang Minghong chuckled, then hugged Yang Mingxi's neck and said, "Third sister is the best, I like her the most!"

"Oh, your fourth sister, I'm sorry. I took you with me for nothing. I won't take you with me anymore in the future." Yang Mingqian said from the side.

"No, the fourth sister is good, the third sister is even better. The third sister feeds Honghong meat, and there is also grandma."

Yang Mingqian laughed and said, "Little foodie." Then she reached out to take Yang Mingqing, who had just washed his hands, and carried him to the dining table.

Yang Mingxi took Yang Minghong's little hand, washed it carefully, and pulled him over to sit at the small table.

The food was already served on the big table. While his father and brothers were eating, Yang Mingxi took his bowl and sat down at another table.

This table is usually occupied by Yang Mingqian and her two younger brothers. Before, when Lu Jintang came, Yang Minghao and Yang Mingze, and sometimes the eldest sister-in-law would also come to this table.

Yang Ming smiled and said, "Third sister, you eat at the big table. You have something else to do later. I'll take my brothers to eat slowly."

Yang Mingxi smiled and said, "I won't do anything today. I'll take Honghong and Qing'er with me. You can go out and play for the day!"

Yang Mingqian was only nine years old, still a child. But now that she had a younger brother, she spent almost every day at home taking care of him, leaving her with no time to play.

Yang Mingqian's eyes lit up and she said, "Third sister, do you really have time today? I'd like to go find Daya and pick mushrooms in the mountains together. They picked up a lot yesterday."

While Yang Mingxi was picking up some food for Yang Minghong, she said, "Sure, I'll stay home with the brothers. You guys should be careful when you go out."

After that, Yang Mingxi used a spoon to feed Yang Mingqing another spoonful of rice. With a gentle smile on her face, she asked softly, "Qing'er, is it delicious?"

Yang Mingqing giggled, holding rice in his mouth, and answered incoherently: "Good... delicious!" Then he began to eat it in big mouthfuls, as if it was the most delicious food in the world.

Yang Minghong was not to be outdone. He imitated his sister, opened his mouth wide and ate one bite after another, with a satisfied look in his eyes.

Yang Mingxi watched her brothers eat so happily, her heart filled with happiness and satisfaction. She fed Yang Mingqing and took a bite herself. The three of them looked like a flock of hungry birds, vying for every moment to enjoy the delicious food. Their laughter and chewing sounds intertwined, filling the room.

Yang Mingyu watched Yang Mingxi, who was playing, eating, and laughing with her brothers, and clenched his fists fiercely. He secretly made up his mind, "I must work harder to make my third sister always this happy!"

At this moment, Lu Jintang walked into the dining room, and his eyes fell on Yang Mingxi. Yang Mingxi was playing with her two younger brothers with her back to the dining room door, so she didn't notice anyone coming in.

Lu Jintang looked at Yang Mingxi, who was having fun with her two younger brothers, and a faint smile rose at the corner of his mouth. He stood quietly by, admiring the warm and joyful scene before him.

When Yang Laowu saw Lu Jintang coming over, he swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Mr. Lu is here. Are you here to eat?"

Lu Jintang looked at Yang Mingxi and said with a smile: "Hello, Fifth Uncle, it's been a long time since I came to eat here. I miss our family's food."

"You're in for a treat! Xier cooked today's meal. Come sit down and eat! Aze, go get a set of bowls and chopsticks."

Yang Mingxi stood up and said, "Mr. Lu is here. Please sit down for a moment. I'll go get you some rice."

Yang Mingyu stood up and said, "Xier, you look after the brothers. I'll go get food for Mr. Lu." After that, he took a bowl from the cupboard nearby, scooped some rice from the table, and handed it to Lu Jintang.

Lu Jintang took the bowl and said to Yang Mingyu with a smile, "Thank you, Yu." Then he glanced at Yang Mingxi and continued, "It seems that Xi'er is very good at teaching children."

Yang Mingyu also smiled, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes: "There are many children in the family, and my mother can't take care of them all by herself, so we let the older children take care of the younger ones. After a long time, we learned it." He said it easily, but Lu Jintang could feel a sense of responsibility and commitment from his words.

Lu Jintang nodded after hearing this, and he felt even more favorable towards his future third brother-in-law. The hardships of life had not made him depressed, but instead cultivated his tenacious character and independent ability.

The two of them said nothing more, and in tacit understanding, they lowered their heads and began to eat. For a moment, the only sound in the room was the clinking of dishes and chopsticks, and the atmosphere seemed particularly harmonious.

They were all immersed in the satisfaction brought by the food, temporarily forgetting the hustle and bustle and troubles of the outside world. This meal, although simple, was full of the taste of home.

At the small table, Yang Mingqian had finished his meal and left. Only Yang Mingxi was left with her two younger brothers. While eating, she taught them the eating habits of good babies.

"Honghong, remember to wash your hands before eating. There's a lot of dirt on your hands. If you accidentally eat something, you'll get a stomachache."

"Eat...wash...your hands." Yang Minghong said.

"My Honghong is awesome. Let's make this a good habit for us today, okay?"

"Okay, eat and wash... your hands, there's meat to eat... and milk to drink."

Yang Mingxi clapped her hands and encouraged Yang Minghong, saying, "Yes, Honghong is very good. Let's eat!"

After finishing dinner, Lu Jintang came to the small table and said, "Do you still want to be fed? Let me do it. You should eat quickly. The food will get cold soon and your stomach will hurt if you eat it." As he spoke, he took Yang Mingqing's bowl of rice from Yang Mingxi and said, "Axi is very good at taking care of children and is very good at teaching them."

Yang Mingxi smiled a little embarrassedly, "No need, he's almost finished eating. I learned this from my mother, but children really need to develop good habits from a young age."

Lu Jintang nodded in agreement. He felt a warmth rising in his heart as he looked at Yang Mingxi's gentle and patient expression.

At this time, Yang Mingxi noticed Lu Jintang's gaze, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she turned her head to continue feeding her brother.

After a long time, Jintang looked at Yang Mingxi, his eyes full of concern and heartache, and said softly: "Axi, after the workshop opens, let's put the snack street business on hold! You have been too tired recently, let's slow down and enjoy life." His voice was soft and firm, as if carrying an irresistible force.

When Yang Mingxi heard this, her back stiffened, and a wave of emotion and warmth welled up in her heart. She knew that this was Lu Jintang's care and love for her. It turned out that he understood her persistence and impatience.
