The tempting aroma wafted over, and not to mention the bicycle and the chicks, I'm afraid Qiao Anle, who was standing aside, would be forgotten by the three cubs.
Three small figures, without any prior arrangement, rushed towards the small dining table.
Qiao Anle was quick-witted and quick-handed, grabbing the collars of the second and third cubs respectively.
"Don't get excited yet. You must wash your hands before eating."
The eldest cub didn't need Qiao Anle to catch him. He stopped obediently when he heard her words.
The second child was anxious and murmured, "Wash your hands, wash your hands, I want to wash my hands! I want to wash my hands first."
Sanzai also followed him and learned to speak, "Sanzai also wants to wash his hands, mother, wash your hands."
Qiao Anle pulled the two younger kids over.
The eldest took the basin and soap.
The mother and her two children squatted beside the water tank.
Qiao Anle was holding soap in her hand, with three pairs of little hands stretched out in front of her, taking turns to apply soap for them.
As expected, the hands of the three little kids were all pitch black.
Especially the third child, his little hands looked like they had been digging in a hole in the dirt.
Qiao Anle didn't even frown as he took care of her attentively.
And warned.
"Remember this, all three of you. Wash your hands before eating. Look at your little hands, aren't they dirty? They're full of bacteria, and eating them will give you diarrhea. Especially you, Third Cub, you always like to suck your fingers when you sleep at night. You must break this habit."
The three cubs seemed to be listening attentively.
But those pairs of round eyes kept looking towards Li Fengbei.
They saw Li Fengbei coming out of the small kitchen again, and wondered what delicious food he had.
Swish, swish.
My saliva is about to drip.
Under Qiao Anle's "strong pressure", the three cubs washed their hands three times, washed their hands clean, and were finally allowed to sit at the table to eat.
"Wow! Braised pork! So much pork!"
"And eggs! Poached eggs! Burnt poached eggs!"
“This…this…”
These meals were bought from state-owned restaurants, packed in aluminum lunch boxes, brought back, and heated up in an iron pot.
When Li Fengbei put the last small bowl up, all three cubs blinked in disbelief.
That’s white rice!
It is no longer cornmeal steamed bread or hard steamed bread.
But it is a grain of crystal clear white rice!
The rice had just been served from the iron pot, steaming hot.
The natural aroma of rice is even more attractive than pork belly.
"Dad, it's white rice!"
"Dad, aren't we eating steamed bread today?"
"Dad, is this bowl all mine?"
The three kids widened their eyes and looked at Li Fengbei in surprise.
Li Fengbei sat down and said, "Today our whole family will eat white rice. There's still some in the pot. You can eat as much as you want."
The three cubs giggled happily, their eyes narrowed into slits.
I was so excited that I even forgot the dining etiquette.
Li Fengbei didn't blame them too much and just said something to them.
"Let's start eating."
The eldest and second cubs can already use chopsticks, and they hold the rice bowls steadily in their little hands.
Sanzai hasn't learned how to use chopsticks yet, and usually eats steamed buns with his hands. Today, Li Fengbei prepared a small spoon for him.
They each took a mouthful of white rice, and then looked at the braised pork belly with their dark eyes, but there was no clamor or scramble for the food.
Instead, it was like a newly born chick, drooling and waiting for Li Fengbei to feed it.
Li Fengbei held the chopsticks and was about to reach for the braised pork belly.
But his actions.
But Qiao Anle gently stopped him.
She suggested, "Usually, the eldest cub has to take care of his younger brothers, and it's very hard. Why not let the eldest cub share the meat today?"
The eldest cub was stunned, his whole little face was blank.
He looks very similar to Li Fengbei and has a handsome face at a young age.
After being stunned, he looked a little cute and silly.
Li Fengbei didn't act like a patriarch, so since Qiao Anle had spoken, he didn't object.
The man said, "Big Cub is the little man of our family, so let Big Cub divide it."
Divide the meat.
Maybe it's a trivial matter.
But this small right, given to the child, is the best recognition of the eldest child's good behavior and understanding.
Qiao Anle thought that since the eldest child could not release his nature like the third and second children, he would compensate him in other ways and let this child get the happiness that belonged to him.
She looked at the eldest cub expectantly and tenderly.
The eldest son was still a little hesitant. His father had always had the final say in family matters, and he had not made up his mind yet.
He unconsciously tensed his face, holding the chopsticks tightly in his hand, not knowing what to do.
The second child was getting impatient and urged, "Brother, hurry up, hurry up."
The third child slurped his saliva and said, "Big brother, give me some meat, give me some meat quickly."
Even Li Fengbei said so.
"Whatever you think, just do it. Today, Mom and Dad will listen to you."
The eldest cub slowly mustered up his courage.
His little hands held the chopsticks in an upright position and picked up the first piece of pork belly.
It was also the largest piece on the plate.
The first one was given to Li Fengbei.
"Dad, this one is for you."
Next is.
"Mom, this piece is yours."
And then...
The eldest cub pursed his lips, and looked at the second cub and then the third cub with his dark eyes.
He picked up a chopstick hesitantly and paused in mid-air.
