Jiang Mengning demonstrated to them: "This is how you use the knife and fork. Hold the knife in your right hand and the fork in your left hand. Just cut it gently like this and the steak will come off."
She demonstrated it.
Grandma Zhao also picked up the knife and fork and tried to cut the steak.
It's just that the movements are very awkward.
"I'm used to using chopsticks, so I'm not used to this foreign thing. I'm getting old and can't keep up with the pace of the young."
Asking her to use a knife and fork is harder than shooting a gun at someone's head.
Jiang Mengning whispered, "It's okay. If you're not used to it, just use chopsticks. No one says you have to use a knife and fork when eating Western food."
She actually asked the waiter to bring three pairs of chopsticks.
When Grandma Zhao got the chopsticks, she felt relieved instantly.
"It's the habits passed down by our ancestors. I can pick up a whole piece of meat with one chopstick." She smiled and took a bite of the steak. It tasted really good.
This is the first time I have tasted something with this flavor. I feel like I have broadened my horizons.
No loss, no loss.
Nian Nian and Huo Haowen were really hungry. It was the first time for the two little guys to come to a Western restaurant, and they were not shy and ate very satisfyingly.
Jiang Mengning placed the hamburger in front of Huo Haowen.
"This is the hamburger. You didn't eat it before. Eat two more this time."
Huo Haowen took a look at the so-called hamburger, put down his chopsticks, took the hamburger and took a bite.
It contains meat, sauce, and lettuce, and has a rich taste.
He looked at his stepmother suspiciously.
"How can you make hamburgers when you can't even make noodles?" I'm afraid even dogs won't eat it!
Jiang Mengning tsk-tsk-tsked: "Little brat, how can you talk like that? You look down on me, don't you?"
She asked for help: "Nian Nian, tell him whether the hamburgers mom made are delicious or not."
Nian Nian is now her mother's little follower.
Nodding desperately: "Brother, don't blame mom. The hamburgers mom makes are delicious, even better than the ones you buy."
Jiang Mengning raised her chin proudly: "Did you hear that?"
Huo Haowen continued to eat his hamburger and didn't argue with her childishly.
I just feel very good at this moment, and the corners of my lips can't help but rise slightly.
Jiang Mengning ate some steak and then stopped.
I got up and went to the bathroom. When I came back, I saw a few pieces of white paper dropped at Huo Haowen's feet.
Go over and pick it up: "What is that?"
Huo Haowen noticed it and reached out to grab it back.
Jiang Mengning raised her hand and dodged.
"Don't grab it, I saw it all. It's your test paper, right?"
She took the test paper and sat opposite Huo Haowen, looking at the score on the paper and pondered for a while.
Huo Haowen was very nervous.
He wanted to pretend that he didn't care, but he had to ignore his stepmother's attitude.
Just waiting for a while felt like torture.
"You... have you read it carefully? Give it back to me now."
He was really feeling awkward at the moment.
Grandma Zhao and Nian Nian, who were watching the show on the side, laughed secretly.
How could they not know Huo Haowen's little thoughts? They were just waiting to show their final grades to their stepmother.
Jiang Mengning finally looked up at Huo Haowen: "You did well on the test. You got 85 points in Chinese, 86 points in math, and you passed the rest of the subjects as well. That's great. Keep up the good work. You still have a lot of room for improvement in the future."
For the male protagonist, who is a poor student, it is not easy to get such a score.
Jiang Mengning was praising Huo Haowen from the bottom of her heart.
It was obvious that Huo Haowen breathed a sigh of relief.
There was a smile in his eyes, and he couldn't hide his smug thoughts at all.
After all, children are still children and don’t know how to hide themselves.
The emotions were exposed immediately.
"I understand. I will work hard next semester. But Dad said I didn't get above 95 points on the test, and he even made me write a lot of self-reflection."
He actually started complaining about his father in front of his stepmother.
Jiang Mengning folded the test paper and handed it to Huo Haowen.
"Is that so? Your father is a little disappointed with you. There's nothing wrong with his love for you, he just doesn't know how to express it. Don't worry, when I see him, I'll speak up for him!"
She blinked her eyes playfully.
Huo Haowen's face turned red again.
He lowered his head awkwardly and continued eating.
"No, he's doing this for my own good."
The little boy is quite reasonable and knows right from wrong.
After dinner, they rested for a while in the restaurant and then Jiang Mengning took the children to the playground.
Played it from beginning to end again.
Afterwards, we went to the department store and bought some clothes for the two children, including shoes, underwear, and more.
Jiang Mengning also bought a set of clothes for Grandma Zhao.
Grandma Zhao was flattered and refused it no matter what.
But he couldn't resist Jiang Mengning, so he accepted it.
"Mengning, you've been so good to me, I don't know how to repay you."
Jiang Mengning did things for a purpose. She bought clothes for Grandma Zhao because she must have thought she was a good person and hoped that she would raise the children well.
"You taking good care of the children is the greatest reward for me. I'm very busy lately and don't have time to take care of the children. I have to trouble you, Grandma Zhao, with all the household matters."
"What are you talking about! Taking care of children is my job. Don't worry, I've already treated them as my own grandchildren and will never treat them unfairly."
After she said this, Jiang Mengning felt that the money was not wasted.
It was getting late, and Jiang Mengning prepared to take the children home.
"Now that you're in the city, stay here for a few more days. I'll take you to the south of the city tomorrow."
Huo Haowen immediately refused: "No, the department has organized a two-week training for those of us who are still in school. It's at the training ground in the next city, and we have to go tomorrow. This training also includes outdoor activities, and I've already signed up."
