Chapter 373 Taking the occasion into consideration

My granddaughter is a bit of a picky eater, but fortunately she won't eat what she doesn't like, so she won't waste food.

Gu Siyu hesitated for a moment. She didn't really like eating pig's trotters; they were a bit greasy.

Seeing the chubby girl eating with great relish, I couldn't help but swallow hard and nod, "Yes, thank you, Grandpa!"

Grandpa Gu smiled and picked up a pig's trotter.

Children should eat everything like a good baby; only when they are chubby and healthy can they be blessed.

Gu Siyu looked at the oily pig's trotters, but couldn't bring herself to eat them with her hands like Helian Jiao did. So she lay on the table and ate them from her bowl.

Mr. and Mrs. Gu were also very pleased to see this, as their daughter had never liked eating meat, especially fatty meat, which she would never touch.

Now that's great, with my sweet baby taking care of me, I eat my fill at every meal and I'm not picky about food anymore.

If their son could eat with their daughter all the time, they wouldn't have to worry about their daughter eating.

Grandpa Gu finally placed a pig's trotter on Gu Tingyun's plate, saying, "Tingyun, you should eat more too."

"Thank you, Grandpa."

Young Master Gu didn't care about the order of things; as the older brother, he should naturally defer to his younger sister in such matters.

Before long, all the dishes were served: ten dishes plus a pot of bone broth.

Five meat dishes: braised mutton, braised pig's trotters, braised fish, and stir-fried ham with chili peppers, plus a bowl of steamed egg custard.

The five vegetarian dishes were all stir-fried until glossy and oily, and tasted much better than what I usually cook at home.

And they are all served on very large plates, with generous portions, enough for a table of people to eat their fill.

The staple food is still a mixture of corn kernels and rice, steamed together, each grain plump and fragrant with the aroma of rice and corn.

The Chen family felt that they would be happy to eat rice even if they didn't eat vegetables.

"Eat up," Grandpa Gu said, picking up his chopsticks and urging everyone to eat.

Seeing that the elders at the next table had started eating, everyone immediately began to eat without hesitation.

However, considering the occasion and seeing the Gu family's elegant and refined manners, the Chen family members were too embarrassed to fight over the food like they would at home.

And there's plenty of meat, so there's no need to fight over it.

Li Chunhua frantically piled meat into Chen Xiaobao's bowl, while she herself ate with grease dripping from her mouth, wolfing it down like a starving ghost reincarnated.

"What are you grabbing?! There's plenty of meat!" Chen Jianye frowned upon seeing this, lowered his head, and scolded in a low voice.

I just feel ashamed!

Everyone else was refusing to grab the food, but she did so without any hesitation.

Li Chunhua said in a low voice, "My family sent such a generous gift, we'd be missing out if we didn't eat more! Besides, everyone at this table is family, what's there to be embarrassed about!"

Zhou Zhaodi rolled her eyes when she heard this. It was a good thing that her baby was adopted by the fourth child, otherwise having a mother like this would be a disgrace!

But their mouths never stop moving, because the chance to eat meat to their heart's content is rare!

Ma Xiulian and Chen Dazhu at the main table were also eating heartily, but their table manners were not unsightly.

Upon seeing this, the Gu family members unconsciously developed a great appetite and ate quite a bit as well.

They finally realized who had given their baby such a good appetite.

They're all family heirlooms!

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Gu Tingyun stood up from her seat and said, "Sweetie, let's go wash our hands."

"oh!"

The little darling jumped off the stool with his greasy little hands raised, his chubby little face trembling, making Song Wenwen's heart itch to pinch it.
