"That's because they like me," the young man said smugly.
"Yes, yes, yes, our little brother is the most capable."
"By the way, what kind of baby food did you make? I'll let DouDou and YueYue have some later and see if they like it. If they do, tell me how to make it so I can make it for them too."
"Okay, I made a bit too much today. Try some later, you might like it."
"Really?" Xiao Qianqian's eyes lit up.
"I've tried it, and your brother's cooking is really delicious. I have to have a serving every time," Shan Shan whispered in her ear.
"Looks like my brother made baby food for three babies!" Xiao Qianqian teased with a smile.
"Get lost, you're making fun of me again."
The group of people, who had been playfully bickering, went to the bathroom to wash their hands and then sat down at the dining table.
This time, the adults sat at one table, while the little ones sat at a small table, and the young man accompanied them as they ate their complementary foods.
"In-laws, come on, start eating, don't be shy," Xiao's mother called to Ye's parents.
"Grandpa, Dad, Big Brother, come on, let me have a few drinks with you."
Xiao Qianqian stood up and poured a glass of wine for her grandfather, father, older brother, father, and Ye Bosen.
Ye Bosen looked at Xiao Qianqian, smiled, and raised his glass, "This first glass is to wish Dad and Mom a happy new home!"
Everyone raised their glasses, and Mr. and Mrs. Xiao couldn't stop smiling.
After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, the family enjoyed a harmonious and joyful time together.
At the small table, the young man was feeding the children their complementary food. Dou Dou and Yue Yue looked at the brightly colored paste in the bowl with surprise in their eyes. They had always eaten yellow rice paste at home and had never seen such colorful paste before.
Seeing that the children enjoyed it, the young man smiled and patiently began to teach them how to eat the porridge with a spoon.
DouDou and YueYue tried their best to imitate their brother. Although their movements were a bit clumsy, they both had happy smiles on their faces, and it seemed to be easier to use than at home.
Just then, Xiao Qianqian walked over and, seeing how much the children were enjoying their food, couldn't help but praise them, "Brother, you're amazing! This porridge looks delicious."
The young man smiled modestly and said, "As long as the children like it, that's all that matters. By the way, little sister, would you like to try some?"
Xiao Qianqian hesitated a little, after all, she was already grown up. But looking at the colorful paste, she couldn't resist. So she scooped a small spoonful and put it in her mouth, and was immediately amazed. The paste was not only beautiful in color, but also tasted delicious.
"Brother, your porridge is really good! It tastes really good, no wonder the kids love it, I want to learn how to make it too!" Xiao Qianqian said excitedly.
"Okay, come over another day, and I'll teach you how to do it."
"good."
As they were talking, the four children had already finished eating the porridge in their bowls, and then looked up at the young man, indicating that they wanted more.
"Have you finished eating? Want more?" Xiao Qianqian glanced at the empty bowls in front of them. Although a lot of food had fallen onto the table, most of it had been eaten.
The four children nodded in unison when they heard Xiao Qianqian's words, and handed her their empty bowls, meaning they wanted some more.
"Hey sir, is there any more?"
"There's plenty, go get some."
"Okay." Xiao Qianqian got up and walked towards the kitchen.
The four children, still wanting more, stared longingly at Xiao Qianqian's retreating figure, hoping she would bring them more food soon.
Seeing this, Mother Ye at the nearby table exclaimed, "It seems Qianqian's baby food is delicious! Look how happily the children are eating it, and they even seem to want more."
"My youngest son loves to tinker with these things. He even went to learn how to make this baby food," Mrs. Xiao said with a smile.
"He's a very good father!"
"Who says otherwise? The kids all love him, and he's always up to something."
Mother Ye said to Mother Xiao with envy, "You are so lucky to have such a thoughtful and capable son."
Xiao's mother smiled proudly, "This child has been sensible since he was little, which has saved us a lot of trouble."
Just then, Xiao Qianqian came out of the kitchen carrying a freshly made porridge. The children immediately stood up, their eyes full of anticipation.
Xiao Qianqian placed the porridge on the table, then served each of them a bowl. The four children took their bowls with their little hands, quickly sat down, and began to eat in silence.
Although Yueyue and Doudou aren't as skilled with spoons as their older brothers and sisters, they're much better than they were at home. They don't need to be fed anymore, even though they spill a lot of food on the table and their faces are covered in it. But they find it very interesting because their older brothers and sisters eat by themselves, and they're learning to eat on their own, trying to be good little ones.
"It seems that children need to be with other children to make comparisons. Look at DouDou and YueYue, they don't need to be fed anymore; they eat happily with their own spoons."
"Yes, these two older ones learned to eat on their own in the first two months, and now they don't need to be fed anymore. Seeing them like this, DouDou and YueYue definitely don't want to fall behind."
"That's right, that's correct."
Xiao's mother and Ye's mother smiled at each other as they watched the children eating happily.
At this moment, Xiao Qianqian's older brother, seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, spoke up: "Brother-in-law, is it a problem for you to attend a banquet like this? My company has moved here, and I'd like to host a banquet to get to know the business elites in the capital so that we can cooperate more in the future!"
"Brother, you might have some trouble walking, but you can use a wheelchair. When are you planning to hold the event?"
"The initial plan is for the end of this month."
"Okay, just let us know when you have time."
"Is everything at the company settled? If you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask; I can help you."
"Okay, I won't hesitate to ask if you need anything."
"Um."
Everyone enjoyed the meal and drinks, and after leaving the table, Ye Bosen began to fulfill his promise.
"Grandpa, let's go, I'll play a few rounds with you!"
"Alright, butler, go and get my chess set. I want to play a good game of chess with my grandson-in-law." The old man had also had a drink tonight and was very happy.
Ye Bosen and the old man sat facing each other, the situation on the chessboard tense.
Ye Bosen played chess with the composure of a great general, each move carefully considered. The old man, on the other hand, appeared calm and experienced, responding to Ye Bosen's attacks without making a sound.
Father Ye and Father Xiao stood by as spectators, while Mother Ye and Mother Xiao went to the side to chat. The two women had plenty to talk about and got along very well.
The children, having eaten and drunk their fill, resumed their games.
On the chessboard, the game reached a fever pitch. Ye Bosen placed a crucial piece, a hint of confidence flashing in his eyes. The old man frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, then smiled gently, skillfully defusing the crisis.
"Not bad, grandson-in-law. I concede this game." The old man put down the chess piece and looked at Ye Bosen with satisfaction.
"Grandpa, you're too kind," Ye Bosen said with a smile.
