Seeing that everyone had left, Xiao Beichen couldn't very well argue with thin air, so he could only swallow the pent-up anger in his chest and keep comforting himself with the thought that a good man doesn't fight with a woman, which made him feel a little better.
According to his usual temper, he should have slammed the door and left by now, but if he really left like that, he would lose face and feel cheated!
The key point is that when he glanced at the table, he saw two dishes: scrambled eggs with tomatoes and cucumber salad, plus the braised pork that had just been served. If he couldn't stand it and got angry and left, wouldn't that be exactly what they wanted?
No, he absolutely cannot leave, he absolutely will not fall for their trick!
He had to stay home. Commander Xiao quickly made a decision: he had to stay for dinner, and eat a lot. Having figured it out, Commander Xiao rallied his spirits, pretending nothing was wrong, and carried two plates out...
Zhou Chuan kept an eye on the kitchen from the corner of his eye. When he saw someone carrying a plate out, he immediately went over and took it from them. He also kindly advised the person to be hygienic: "I'll do it, you go wash your hands, and then we'll eat."
Commander Xiao looked at his hands and didn't really think they were dirty, but since both children had washed them, it wouldn't be right for him not to. In order to set a good example for the children, Commander Xiao strode into the yard.
As soon as Xiao Beichen stepped out the door, Zhou Chuan quickly gave him one last instruction: "When we eat later, don't show your teeth, you hear me? If you can't open your mouth to say nice things, don't say anything unpleasant either. If you really can't, just eat quietly and don't say anything."
“Your dad bought all this food, but he won’t eat it. It would be a waste if we didn’t buy it next time. Just try to coax him.”
She stared intently at the doorway, afraid of being caught again. "I'll say it again, behave yourself, you hear me? Think about all that meat... hmm?" Hearing footsteps approaching, Zhou Chuan gave Xiao Ran a wink and went to get the rice.
At the dinner table, the father and son ate heartily, without arguing or confronting each other; the scene was warm and peaceful.
Zhou Chuan hadn't eaten yet, and she was drooling over the braised pork. Not only her, but the little girl in her arms was also drooling. Even when Zhou Chuan fed her steamed egg custard, she didn't find it delicious. She kept drooling over the braised pork.
Seeing how much she was craving it, Zhou Chuan picked up a small piece of stewed fatty meat and fed it to her: "Look how much you're craving it. Here, have a taste." As soon as the meat was put into her mouth, the little girl started moving her lips. Zhou Chuan helped her wipe the drool and oil stains from the corners of her mouth.
Commander Xiao was very glad that he had kept his temper in time, otherwise he would have been able to eat such delicious meat. He glanced at Zhou Chuan, who was feeding his daughter, and thought to himself that his cooking skills were not bad.
Although the small piece of chicken I ate last time tasted pretty good, the feeling wasn't nearly as noticeable as it is now. No matter how delicious braised chicken is, it can't compare to the satisfying flavor of braised pork. After all, you have to spit out the bones from the chicken.
He glanced at his son, who was wolfing down his food across from him, and sighed at his son's good fortune. At the same time, he secretly wondered if he should come back for dinner every day from now on, since there was still quite a bit of meat left from today's purchase.
Commander Xiao's little head was preoccupied with thoughts, but his hands moved with surprising speed, taking bites of meat and rice in quick succession. He'd barely shoveled a mouthful of rice into his mouth before reaching for the braised pork with his chopsticks... and then another bite... and another...
Xiao Ran, sitting across from him, remembered what his aunt had just told him and had been holding back. But when he saw his father eating braised pork with one chopstick after another, he couldn't help but say, "You've eaten all the meat, and my aunt hasn't even had any yet."
"Hey, you little brat, I'm just eating some meat, and you still..." Commander Xiao opened his mouth, but held back in the end. He didn't want to ruin the rare good atmosphere today, so he pointed to the braised pork that was still more than half full, "Is this enough for your aunt to eat?" His tone softened considerably, or rather, it was unusually gentle.
He glanced sourly at Zhou Chuan sitting over there, "Stop calling me 'auntie' all the time, I'm your real father!" As he spoke, he deliberately picked up a large piece of fatty meat and stuffed it into his mouth in a provocative manner.
Hearing the commotion, Zhou Chuan felt both amused and touched. She quickly gave Xiao Ran a meaningful look: "Let your dad eat more. He's been running around all day. Besides, it's okay if he finishes eating. He can just buy more later." After reassuring Xiao Ran, she asked Xiao Beichen with a smile, "Am I right, Commander Xiao?"
"Huh?" Xiao Beichen had meat in his mouth at the moment. "Buy, buy, definitely buy, if they're all gone, I'll buy more!" After saying that, he lowered his head and shoveled a mouthful of rice into his mouth... It's true that women and petty people are hard to deal with. Saying he's running around? When did he ever run around? Humph, he just knows how to deliberately make fun of him.
"I'm relieved now!" Having successfully "resolved" the conflict between father and son once again, Zhou Chuan was in a good mood and used the spoon he used to feed Xiao Mianmian egg custard to scoop a spoonful of scrambled eggs with tomatoes for Xiao Ran: "Here, eat some of this, it's delicious too."
Xiao Ran heard from his father that his father would buy him meat in the future, so he stopped making a fuss and obediently started eating.
Commander Xiao's eyes swept back and forth between the two of them, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say. If he said the wrong thing, he would be scolded. So he could only turn his grief and indignation into his appetite... and picked up another big piece of fatty meat.
Zhou Chuan was pleased to see the warm and peaceful atmosphere at the dining table restored. In no time, she fed Xiao Mianmian, carried the little girl to play on the straw mat, and then returned to the dining table to eat.
