Lin Xia had a car accident on the way to a blind date and unexpectedly transmigrated into a hear...
Chapter 264 Great Gift
Apart from anything else, with Lu Yuxiu around, she didn't have to worry about losing the child, and it was good to rest at night. The remaining tiredness disappeared after taking a shower.
Mother Wang couldn't refuse, and seeing that Lin Xia insisted on helping, she no longer refused.
Aunt Wang prepared a lot of ingredients, and today she was going to eat authentic old Beijing copper pot hot pot.
"Eat hotpot?" Lin Xia asked in surprise. Hotpot is best eaten in winter!
Seeing her surprised look, Wang Ma smiled and nodded.
Seeing that there was not only beef but also mutton, Lin Xia became more enthusiastic in preparing. She was busy running around and was already very greedy.
There is still a severe shortage of meat on the island. Only pork is available for sale, while beef and mutton are hard to find.
Everything is ready, and we can start eating as soon as Lu Yuxiu brings the children downstairs.
As soon as the three little ones came down, they smelled the fragrance and saw their mother at the dining table. They immediately knew it was time to eat, and ran over happily, their little faces looking moist and tender after just taking a bath.
"Have you applied some perfume on them?" The room was warm, but it was windy outside. If she didn't apply some protective clothing, she didn't want to end up with three red cheeks.
Lu Yuxiu turned around and went upstairs to get the facial oil made by Lin Xia and applied it to the three little ones.
An An could wipe it herself, and ran to the table immediately after she was done. Ning Ning and Le Le couldn't wait, so Lu Yuxiu caught them and rubbed them before letting them go.
Fang Jianyi looked at the two sweet little guys who were grunting and preparing to climb onto the stool, and reached out to pick them up.
When Lin Xia raised her eyes, she saw two heads beside the table. The people were too short and could not reach the table at all.
Lin Xia couldn't help but want to laugh. The stools they sat on at home were ordered by her and were made high on purpose. Now the family didn't prepare any, and the two little ones felt aggrieved.
"Not high!" Lele raised his chin hard, but could only show his face.
Lu Yuxiu looked around and brought out two small stools and placed them on the square stool. The height was just right for the two of them to sit down.
A circle of people sat together. Grandma Lu looked around, enjoying the liveliness of the moment and trying hard to suppress the heat that was rising up. The day of a happy reunion was not a suitable time to shed tears.
"Eat quickly, eat quickly!" Grandma Lu looked at the family sitting in a row happily. Lele sat next to her, followed by Anan, and then Ningning. The three children sat together.
“Don’t they need to be fed?” Aunt Wang looked at the two little ones, who were happily eating from their bowls.
"No, they can eat by themselves." Lin Xia fed the two little guys while boiling meat and vegetables.
"Mom, hurry up!" The two swallowed and couldn't help but urge.
There was no other seasoning for them, just a little bit of sesame sauce in the bowl. They ate whatever Lin Xia gave them, even the vegetables, with relish.
"Mom wants this!" Lele finished a piece of beef, raised his face covered with sesame paste, and pointed at the pot for more.
"I want one too!" Ningning pushed Xiaowan and asked for it too.
Lin Xia fished out the hot pot, but didn't see any beef. She gave each person a meatball and said, "This is delicious too, be careful it's hot!"
There was no beef, but the two of them didn't mind. When they saw that it was meatballs they had never eaten before, their eyes lit up and they took the small bowl back to continue eating.
Lin Xia felt that no one moved, so she looked up and saw that Grandma Lu, Aunt Wang and Fang Jianyi were all looking at the two little ones, and the expressions on their faces changed.
Lin Xia did not crush the meatballs she picked up for them. The two of them ate with their own small forks, which they brought from the island.
The meatballs were slippery, and the child's hands-on ability was not good enough to pick them up, so he had to use both wits and courage with his hands and his little face.
Holding the small fork in the little hand, Grandma Lu and others held their breath. When the fork was used, the meatball slid to the left and was not pierced. Grandma Lu and others became discouraged.
Lele raised the fork again, and Grandma Lu and the others looked expectant. When they reached for the meatball with the fork, it slid to the right and missed the target. Grandma Lu and the others began to wait for the meatball in the bowl to get angry.
Lele was a little impatient. He looked at the fork and then at the meatball. He grabbed it and took a bite.
Ningning did the same. She held the meatball in one hand and poked it with a fork with the other. After poking it, she took a bite with a "woooo".
The two little ones have completely different temperaments and personalities, and their behaviors are also different.
Lin Xia was eating while watching their expressions. It was simply a wonderful pantomime performance. The same went for Grandma Lu, Aunt Wang, and Fang Jianyi. Watching the two little ones eat a meatball seemed more exciting than watching a movie.
"Grandma, please eat quickly, or I'll eat it all." Seeing that half of the food had been eaten and they were still watching the child, Lin Xia couldn't help but persuade them.
Fang Jianyi came back to his senses and looked at Lu Yuxiu in shock, "Do they always eat like this?"
It's not like he had seen such young children eating before, it was such a torture, but he had never seen one like Ningning and Lele.
It’s over, he wants to take one home more and more!
If I take this home and show it to the old men and women at home, they will definitely be very happy!
After Fang Jianyi finished asking, he turned around and watched the two little ones eat. He couldn't see enough of watching them.
They ate the meal as if it were a curiosity; in the end they were just watching the three children eat.
"This is for An'an, this is for Lele, and this is for Ningning!" Fang Jianyi took out the things he had prepared and gave them to the three little ones.
In order not to disturb their intimacy with Grandma Lu, I didn’t take it out before. Now I took it out after dinner.
"If you accept my things, you must call me goddaddy!" Fang Jianyi hugged this one and that one.
"Mom, open it!" Lele couldn't open the box with his hand, so he struggled to hold it and handed it to Lin Xia for help.
It was a very beautiful wooden box. It was quite heavy and looked extraordinary from the outside. Lin Xia gently opened the small box. She was almost blinded by the dazzle and looked at Fang Jianyi. He was smiling at the children with a loving face.
Inside the box was a golden longevity lock, which was exquisite and cute. No wonder Lele had a hard time holding it.
An An opened her lock, revealing another type of gold lock. Lin Xia then opened Ning Ning's lock, which was the same type as Le Le's.
This was too heavy a blow. Lin Xia looked at Lu Yuxiu, not knowing whether she should accept it. It was up to him to decide whether to recognize Fang Jianyi as the child's godfather. She had no objection to the child having an extra elder.
Lu Yuxiu nodded slightly, and Lin Xia understood. She squatted down and hugged the two children and asked them to call for help.
From that day on, the two little guys had an elder.
After delivering the things and receiving the two children, Fang Jianyi expressed his satisfaction. He made an appointment with Lu Yuxiu to have him bring his children and wife to his home for dinner, and then he said goodbye.
Grandma Lu was not in good spirits, so after seeing the children recognize their godfather, she went to rest.
"Why hasn't Fang Jianyi found a wife yet?" Lin Xia muttered to herself. Having received such an expensive gift, she had to find a way to repay it!
