Jin Yichen's voice rang out at this moment: "Did your mother say you should eat more? Don't you know how big you look? I haven't seen a child as round and chubby as you in the capital..."
Jin Xingyue covered her mouth and laughed.
Seeing that one of them was talking about him and the other was laughing at him, Jin Yilin looked aggrieved and said, "Mother, look at my eldest brother and third sister, I'm not chubby at all, I'm just a little round..."
Song Xia wanted to laugh, but then thought it would be a bit unfair.
She coughed and said, "Neither of you are allowed to talk about Erbao or laugh at him. Our Erbao has always been a very goal-oriented child. If he wants to lose weight, how could he not?"
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Jin Yilin agreed without hesitation.
Upon hearing this...
Jin Yichen raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "Right, right, right? Then show me how thin you can be! All you think about all day is food. You barely finish breakfast before you're munching on fruit and snacks. Soon after, you're already thinking about lunch, wondering what to have. After lunch, you don't even bother to go outside; you just lie down and sleep, sleeping all afternoon. Then you get up, eat again, eat again, sleep again. Even a pig can't sleep as much as you..."
Jin Yilin burst into tears.
Song Xia: "..."
This brat, can't he be a little less direct?
Jin Yichen said coldly, "If you keep crying, you won't get lunch!"
Jin Yilin's crying stopped abruptly.
How could he not eat lunch? He'd starve to death if he didn't!
Wipe away your tears.
Jin Yilin said to Song Xia, "Mother, I'm fine. You don't need to worry about me. Go and do your thing."
He then walked inside.
Jin Xingyue said goodbye to Song Xia and went inside.
Just as Jin Yichen was about to follow her inside, Song Xia stopped him: "Chen'er, wait a moment before going in. Mother has something to tell you."
Jin Yichen pulled his foot back.
Song Xia led him aside and said in a low voice, "Chen'er, I know you care about your brother, but sometimes you have to be more careful about how you do it..."
"Will your method even work? He still managed to get so fat..."
Jin Yichen's words left Song Xia speechless.
Looking back.
Jin Yilin is really a headache.
When Song Xia changed his diet, he would secretly find things to eat.
When there was nothing left to eat at home, he would take the fish from the artificial pond in his house and grill them.
He wasn't hungry, he was just craving something.
When the fish ran out, Jin Yilin secretly went out to buy something to eat.
When I'm out of money, I just go to a friend's house for a meal.
When his friends ignored him, he would resort to all sorts of sob stories and beg for food outside.
In short, there's nothing he won't do, only things you can't imagine.
The first class is over.
Jin Yilin opened the food box he had brought, intending to take out the snacks and fruits he had left the night before and share them with everyone. But as soon as he reached in, he found that there was only one snack and a small apple inside.
All the other snacks and fruits were gone.
Jin Yilin was completely flustered and rushed towards Jin Yichen.
"Jin Yichen, is it you...?"
Because the older brother stopped asking for any food.
Jin Yichen interrupted him, saying, "If you don't want to eat it, give it to me!"
"No way!"
Jin Yilin grabbed a snack in one hand and an apple in the other, and in no time he had eaten them all up.
Jin Yichen approached and said, "Second brother, do you know what the snacks you eat are made of? Do you know how the apples you eat grow?"
Jin Yilin only knows how to eat, so why would he pay attention to these things?
Jin Yichen continued, "The snacks you ate were made with eggs and dates. Eggs come from chickens' rear ends, and sometimes they even have droppings on them. And apples, they're grown with droppings and urine..."
Jin Yilin felt a wave of nausea wash over him.
He ran to the side and started vomiting.
His vomiting caused everyone around him to vomit as well.
A classmate pointed at Jin Yichen and said, "Jin Yichen, you, you're disgusting..."
"Disgusting? Aren't I stating the truth?"
Jin Yichen calmly walked back to his seat.
Because of his actions.
Jin Yilin had to ask in advance what he was going to eat today. At noon, he didn't eat any vegetables or pork, and only ate some tofu.
His stomach was growling with hunger even before school was over.
As soon as school was over, he would run to the main gate.
Song Xia came to pick them up.
Jin Yilin threw himself into Song Xia's arms, crying, "Mother, I'm starving..."
"What's wrong?"
Song Xia pulled him away and asked with a strange look on her face.
Jin Yilin cried as he said, "It's all because of my older brother. He said eggs come out of chickens' butts, and that apples grow by being watered with poop and pee. Mom, it's so disgusting..."
Song Xia understood.
She slightly twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "Your older brother is right, that's indeed the case, but whether it's the cooks at the Imperial Academy or the cooks in our family, they always clean the ingredients thoroughly before cooking, so you don't need to feel disgusted."
"But, but I still don't feel well..."
Jin Yilin said, sobbing.
Song Xia patted his back and said, "Don't think about how bad the ingredients are. Think about how delicious they will be when they're cooked. Wouldn't that be better?"
Jin Yilin felt a little better after thinking about it.
Just then.
Jin Yichen and Jin Xingyue came out carrying their books.
"mother!"
Jin Xingyue rushed over and hugged Song Xia.
"good."
Song Xia patted Jin Xingyue's head and gestured for the others to walk to the side.
They boarded the carriage.
Song Xia instructed Changfeng to drive the carriage to Yang's Pastry Shop.
She went to buy snacks alone, without letting Jin Xingyue and the others come with her.
She bought three in total.
Get on the bus.
Song Xia opened one of the envelopes, took out a piece, and handed it to Jin Yichen.
Jin Yilin burst into tears, feeling wronged.
Even though her older brother was so bad, her mother still gave him snacks.
Jin Xingyue waited expectantly, without crying or making a fuss.
Song Xia's gaze fell on Jin Yichen, who was eating snacks, and she asked, "Chen'er, are these snacks delicious?"
"good."
Jin Yichen returned to Song Xia.
Song Xia smiled and said, "Do you know what this dessert is called and what it's made of?"
Jin Yichen held the half-eaten pastry in his hand and remained silent.
Song Xia said in a moderate voice, "This snack is called Ruyi Lianggao (如意凉糕). It's made from glutinous rice flour, sesame seeds, and white sugar. The process involves constant stirring, followed by rolling it up by hand. Imagine if the person making it went to the outhouse and rolled it up without washing their hands..."
Even though Jin Yichen knew his mother was saying that on purpose, he still felt a little nauseous.
"You know you're not feeling well now? When you said those things before, your brother was feeling unwell too. Your goal was to get him to eat less, but what you've done is a bit too much!"
Song Xia said firmly.
Jin Yilin asked in a low voice, "Mother, so this Ruyi Lianggao (a type of cold rice cake) isn't what you said, is it?"
His eyes were fixed on the snacks.
If he hadn't kept his mouth closed, he probably would have been drooling.
Song Xia opened her mouth and said, "Well, even Mom isn't sure. Do you want to eat it?"
