Normally, after being hit twice, Chen Xiaoan would go to eat, but he would eat very little food, and his attention would be drawn to other things while he was eating, so he ate very slowly.
He often needed Zhao Huijuan to remind him.
But today, he ate nonstop without needing to be reminded.
Zhao Huijuan found it strange but didn't think much of it, assuming he was just hungry and that's why he kept eating vegetables.
But when she sat down to eat and tasted the dishes she had cooked, she understood why her son had eaten so much that day.
This dish is incredibly fresh and sweet; it's amazing how delicious it is with just a few seasonings.
Zhao Huijuan has been eating her own cooking for so many years, she knows how good her dishes are, so the problem must be with the vegetables.
It seems the food that girl brought her today was quite special.
"Mom, stop busy and come eat. The food is pretty good today."
Zhao's mother wiped her hands and came over to eat.
She tasted two bites of the dish and nodded affirmatively, saying, "This dish is great, even fresher than freshly picked vegetables."
Chen Xiaoan chimed in, "The food today is delicious, very sweet and fragrant!"
Zhao's mother couldn't help but ask, "Where did you buy these vegetables?"
The vegetables themselves taste good, but the key is that Chen Xiaoan also likes to eat them, without anyone having to urge or call him to eat them.
If you cook with this vegetable every day, it might help your child overcome their picky eating habits.
Just as Zhao Huijuan was about to answer, a noise came from the courtyard. It turned out that her husband, Chen Mingyang, had returned.
Chen Mingyang usually gets home at seven o'clock, but today he arrived an hour early.
When her husband returned, Zhao Huijuan went to get new bowls and chopsticks to serve the rice.
Everyone in the family knew that their son was a picky eater, but when Chen Mingyang came home today, he saw his son sitting obediently on the stool, eating his vegetables on his own initiative.
"Wow, Xiao'an is so well-behaved today, she can even eat by herself."
"Dad, the food is delicious, you should eat some too."
Chen Xiaoan's mouth was stuffed full of food, and his speech was somewhat unclear.
Zhao Huijuan just returned and put the food on the table. "Try it. The food is good today. Your son ate quite a lot without anyone having to urge him."
Chen Xiaoan held his small bowl and nodded repeatedly.
Now Chen Mingyang was a little curious.
No one knows better than him what his wife's cooking is like. The meals are usually the same, so why is it different today?
Chen Mingyang sat down and then tasted a piece of cabbage.
The dishes may look the same, but they taste completely different.
"Where did you buy these vegetables today? They definitely taste different."
Zhao Huijuan quickly replied, "It was given by the newly moved-in military wife from the family next door. She said she bought too much groceries and was afraid they would spoil if left for a day, so she shared them with the neighbors."
Chen Mingyang thought for a moment, could the new military wife next door be Lu Zhengjun's?
He became interested and asked, "Isn't that Commander Lu's house next door? I remember he didn't have a girlfriend. How come he has one so soon?"
"That's right, she's someone's fiancée, they're getting married soon."
Chen Mingyang found out then.
He and Lu Zhengjun were both regimental commanders. Although they didn't interact much, they could still talk to each other.
That night, the Chen family ate until they were stuffed. They ate all the stir-fried dishes, steamed buns and pancakes, and soup they had cooked, leaving nothing behind.
Chen Xiaoan kept pestering Zhao Huijuan, asking, "Mom, can we eat such delicious food again tomorrow?"
The adults all laughed.
Zhao's mother said, "Huijuan, why don't we ask them where they bought these vegetables tomorrow? If it's far away, I'll ride my bike out to buy them and buy more at once so Xiaoan can eat more vegetables."
It's quite rare for Chen Xiaoan to take the initiative to ask for vegetables.
As long as the child doesn't become a picky eater and eats normally, it's fine to ask around.
Chen Xiaoan used to like eating meat and snacks, which caused him to gain a lot of weight and become a chubby little boy.
After returning from his grandparents' house, Zhao Huijuan controlled his diet, forbidding him from being picky about food or eating anything lacking in nutrition.
Chen Xiaoan thought that at her grandparents' house, she could have whatever she wanted, and that being picky about food would result in being spanked, leaving her with no choice but to eat her food with tears in her eyes.
After a year of raising him like this, and with his picky eating habits for just as long, he looks much thinner now, even thinner than other children his age. His little arms and legs are quite pitiful to look at.
7 PM.
It wasn't completely dark yet.
Su Yueya tidied up the kitchen a bit and considered what to eat for dinner.
Meanwhile, everyone else in the family had already started eating, but Su Yueya still hadn't decided what to do.
As I was considering this, I heard the sound of a car outside.
The gate was opened, and the car drove into the yard.
It is Lu Zhengjun.
Su Yueya was somewhat happy.
I originally thought Lu Zhengjun would stay in the army and stay there for the night, but I didn't expect him to still be thinking about me.
"Since it's your first day here, you probably don't know where many places are, so I bought some food first. I'll leave after you finish eating."
Lu Zhengjun bought a lot of food.
Besides white rice, there's also braised chicken with mushrooms, braised pickled cabbage with glass noodles, tofu with scallions, and egg drop soup.
This much food would cost at least four yuan if bought outside.
Thinking that Lu Zhengjun had given her a lot of money today, and that the money for the meal was probably borrowed, Su Yueya felt a little distressed.
Why buy so many vegetables?
If you want to eat something substantial, you might as well go to the market and buy some meat. She also has vegetables here. With just a small amount of money, she can make this whole table of dishes.
