As a result, my dad cut off my allowance for a month because of that one bite of apple.

Chen Jiandang didn't feel ashamed at all when he said this, and placed the washbasin in his hand on the washbasin stand in the corridor.

With a helpless expression, Chen Jiandang continued, "It wasn't until later that I found out that this apple was a new product developed by a friend of the agricultural research institute whose director was in charge of our institute. His director only got about ten of them."

As a result, my dad ended up getting one. Later, I figured it out, just based on how much my dad likes my mom now.

I guess this apple was originally meant for Dad to please Mom, but I took a bite out of it, so it's understandable that he's angry.

After Chen Jiandang finished speaking, Chen Shuning burst into laughter.

Chen Tiejun didn't care; he was thick-skinned anyway.

Qin Yalan, who was cooking in the kitchen, blushed deeply at her youngest son's words. She grabbed a spatula and rushed out, pretending to hit Chen Jiandang on the head: "What nonsense are you talking about, you brat? Hurry up and wash your hands and get ready to eat."

When Chen Jiandang saw his mother come out, he didn't dare to say anything more.

So she ran off with a grin. Chen Tiejun looked at his wife and smiled gently. He knew his wife was easily embarrassed, so he pretended to put on a stern face and scolded Chen Jiandang: "You child, how can you talk like that? You have no manners. I'll beat you up."

Chen Jiandang made a face and quickly washed his hands to prepare for dinner.

Today's meal was very plentiful, including braised pork and shredded pork with green peppers, which Chen Jiandang loved most. Qin Yalan also made a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

This dish was made especially for Chen Shuning because it's her favorite dish: scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Chen Jiandang's mouth watered as he looked at the delicious food on the table. He couldn't wait to pick up his chopsticks and was about to take a piece of braised pork when Qin Yalan stopped him.

"You child, how can you be so ill-mannered? You should wait for the elders to start eating first," Qin Yalan scolded softly.

Chen Jiandang had no choice but to put down his chopsticks and sit there obediently.

Chen Tiejun smiled and said, "Alright, the child is hungry, let him eat first."

Qin Yalan stopped saying anything, and Chen Jiandang quickly picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth, chewing it with relish.

Chen Tiejun and Qin Yalan also laughed, and the family enjoyed a particularly warm and harmonious dinner together.
