Chapter 42: First time eating with so many people
Two days later, although You Zhu was still unwilling to go out to eat with everyone, at least the gate to the yard was no longer closed.
At dinner time, Bai Yunfeng and Wei Ranzhu specially set up a table at Youzhu's place for the children to eat together.
"Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Sui Ning, your father and I will be leaving first." After all the dishes were served, Wei Ranzhu saw You Zhu still standing far away, so he smiled and prepared to leave. "If you need anything else, tell the servants outside the courtyard. I'll have them stay here."
"Okay, Mom, you've worked hard. I'll take you and Dad out." Bai Shian personally took the two of them out.
"Okay, let's go back and spend some time with our sixth brother and sister. They must have been scared that night." Wei Ranzhu smiled and pulled Bai Yunfeng away without saying a word.
After the two of them walked away, Wei Ranzhu sighed, "Old Sixth is still a child with a knot in his heart. What do you think...why don't we tell him the truth?"
"No!" Bai Yunfeng refused without hesitation. "If there's any emotional knot, just slowly untie it. He can accept those kids now, so maybe he'll accept us soon."
Wei Ranzhu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
In Youzhu's yard, after Bai Shian returned, he saw Youzhu and Li Suining still standing far away. He protested dissatisfiedly, "Sixth brother, you won't even let your sister eat, right?"
"Yes, come and eat with us. My sister must be hungry too." Bai Ruian also greeted the two of them.
"Go ahead." You Zhu said coldly. He thought that the little guy would leave him immediately without stopping, but he didn't expect that the little guy didn't leave.
Li Suining raised his head and took You Zhu's hand, "Come on, Sixth Brother, let's go eat together."
You Zhu frowned, subconsciously resisting, "I'm not going. I'm not hungry."
"But we only ate a little this morning and at noon, how can we not be hungry?" Little Tuanzi put his two little hands together and pulled Youzhu hard, "Sixth brother, come quickly, let's eat together."
"Yes, sixth brother, come here quickly!" Bai Shian also waved to You Zhu.
"Sixth brother, come quickly. I'm starving. If you don't come, they won't eat." Bai Ruian touched his stomach aggrievedly.
You Zhu still frowned, but this time, Li Suining successfully dragged him over.
He was dragged to the table and stood there stiffly, feeling uncomfortable all over.
This was his first time having dinner with so many people.
"Sixth brother, please sit down!" Little Tuanzi diligently wiped the stool next to him and looked at You Zhu with interest, looking very happy.
You Zhu frowned, but was more puzzled, wondering what this guy was so happy about.
"Yes, Sixth Brother, come and sit down." On the other side, Lao Wu also pulled You Zhu and said with a silly smile, "This is my first time eating with Sixth Brother. I want to eat two more bowls."
Bai Shian put a cushion on the stool next to him, obviously preparing it for Li Suining, and did not forget to tease the fifth brother, "Fifth brother, are you sure you want to eat two more bowls because of Sixth Brother, and not because there are too many dishes?"
"Hehe..." Bai Ruian looked like he really couldn't control himself, his eyes were glued to the food.
"But it's true. Sixth brother never goes to every family dinner." Bai Shi'an patted Li Suining's shoulder, motioned the little guy to sit down, and continued, "It's harder than climbing to the sky for us to have dinner with Sixth brother."
Li Suining pulled You Zhu again, and You Zhu finally sat down.
But he still felt uncomfortable all over, and felt uncomfortable everywhere. He said coldly with disgust, "These dishes don't taste good at all."
"No, these dishes are made by my mother, they are delicious." Li Suining is too short, his arms are not long enough, and he uses chopsticks in a messy way.
She finally picked up a piece of braised pork in front of her and was about to put it into You Zhu's bowl when it fell on the table with a plop.
"Oh, what a pity." Little Dumpling felt annoyed.
"It's okay, fourth brother, come here." Bai Shi'an stretched out his chopsticks and prepared to pass some to the sixth brother.
"No need." You Zhu muttered, then picked up the braised pork that had fallen on the table, took a bite, and said dissatisfiedly, "It's not tasty, too sweet."
"Then Sixth brother, try this." Li Suining took the trouble to pick up the winter bamboo shoots next to it.
But the winter bamboo shoots were a little far away from her, and before she could pick them up, one of her chopsticks fell. She puffed her cheeks in frustration.
"Okay, I have my own hands, so you don't need to pinch me. Just take care of yourself." You Zhu said coldly, but he was still eating the braised pork.
Li Suining nodded aggrievedly, "Okay, then Sixth Brother, eat more."
When she turned around, her bowl was already full with all her favorite dishes.
She immediately narrowed her eyes and grinned at Bai Shian, "Thank you, fourth brother."
"Be good, eat!" Bai Shi'an touched the little guy's head lovingly. He noticed that Lao Liu had finished his braised pork, but he didn't pick up any vegetables and only ate rice.
He thought about it, took an empty plate, and used a pair of chopsticks that no one had used to pick up four kinds of dishes and put them on it. He also separated each dish to ensure that the flavors would not mix.
He placed the dish in front of You Zhu and said, "Sixth brother, try these four dishes and see if you like them. If not, I'll replace them with something else."
You Zhu paused while eating, then stood up and threw down his chopsticks. "Are you guys annoying? Don't try to please me hypocritically. You can't even eat in peace. I'm not eating anymore!"
He turned and left.
"Sixth brother..." Li Suining was anxious to pull him, but how could she be faster than You Zhu? By the time she climbed down the stool, You Zhu had already gone outside.
She looked at her fourth and fifth brothers somewhat unhappily.
Bai Shian sighed, "Forget it, let's continue eating. I'll give some snacks to Lao Liu later. For now, let him be alone for a while."
"Sixth brother is just too introverted. He's not used to feeling other people's care all of a sudden." Bai Ruian said vaguely without swallowing the food in his mouth.
Li Suining thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll take the food to Sixth Brother. Otherwise, it will get cold and won't taste good."
"That's fine." Bai Shian nodded in agreement.
Li Suining ran out first with a bowl of rice, and saw You Zhu sitting under the eaves again, with the Happy Everyday flowers she had given him next to him.
She quickly ran forward, "Sixth brother, when you see the flowers I sent you, you should be happy every day. Here, your meal."
You Zhu slowly opened his closed eyes and said unhappily, "The ghost is still there."
"Hey, wait a minute, I'll go get some food." The little dumpling turned around and ran away again.
You Zhu looked at the bowl of rice on the ground, feeling a little puzzled. He had just gotten so angry, wouldn't they be angry?
