"Da Shuan, just eat. This time, it's all thanks to you and Guiying. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to beat that old dark-skinned woman." Tao Ying looked at Wang Da Shuan's dark and wrinkled face and spoke with difficulty.
As a working professional, I have a deep-seated habit of calling everyone "brother," and it's too uncomfortable to call two people by their names.
"Don't be so formal with your family, everyone. Eat quickly, or it will get cold and all this good food will be wasted," Li Guiying said somewhat apologetically, stuffing a steamed bun into Wang Dashuan's hand.
Wang Dashuan sat down to eat with a happy smile.
"Leave some for me. I haven't had braised pork since my grandma passed away," Wang Baoshan hurriedly said, leaning closer.
"Mom, you eat first." Wang Baoshan picked up a piece of braised pork with more fat than lean and handed it to Tao Ying.
Tao Ying "..."
"You eat it, Mom will eat this." Tao Ying picked up a piece of pork belly, took off the lean part and put the fatty part on Wang Baoshan's steamed bun, then looked at Wang Baoshan expectantly.
"Mom, I knew it, you still love me the most." Wang Baoshan, deeply moved, ate the fatty meat in one bite and looked at Wang Baomin with a smug look.
"Mom, here, have this." To spite Wang Baomin, Wang Baoshan specially picked up a piece of pork belly, ate the fatty part, and gave the lean part to Tao Ying.
"You can eat it yourself, Mom has hands now." Tao Ying glanced disdainfully at the lean meat on Wang Baoshan's chopsticks.
"Mom~" Wang Baoshan called out in a coquettish tone.
"Wang Baoshan, are you never going to stop? Don't you know that you shouldn't talk while eating or sleeping? Your chopsticks are covered in saliva, how disgusting!" Tao Ying couldn't stand it anymore and glared fiercely at Wang Baoshan.
"Mom, do you despise me?" Wang Baoshan looked at Tao Ying with a hurt expression.
"Eating meat won't shut you up. If you don't like it, then don't eat it." Tao Ying was too lazy to pay attention to Wang Baoshan.
It's clear now; this kid is just asking for trouble. He can't give you any face and always wants to get noticed.
"Of course I'll eat." Wang Baoshan dared not act silly anymore. Who doesn't like to eat meat? Only a fool wouldn't like to eat meat. No, even a fool likes to eat meat.
At this time, the meat is free of pig feed, the eggs are from free-range chickens, and the scallions are pesticide-free. They are all naturally fragrant, without the taste of various spices.
Whether it was because Aunt Tao had a big appetite or because she hadn't eaten properly for several days, Tao Ying accidentally ate too much and ate two steamed buns, which were the size of an adult man's fist.
However, the others didn't seem to be picking up their chopsticks yet. The girl over there moved her chopsticks, and Tao Ying immediately put them down.
The little girl looked at the group with a timid and wary gaze, but when she saw the food on their table, she secretly swallowed.
“Child, I am your maternal grandmother, your mother’s mother.” Tao Ying quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks.
"Baomin, hurry up and make some malted milk powder. The child can't eat meat and vegetables right now," Li Guiying said to Wang Baomin after finishing her work.
Without saying a word, Wang Baomin immediately put down his chopsticks, took his teacup, and went out.
After hearing this, the little girl didn't react, but instead looked at Wang Chunni lying to the side.
"Your mom will get better. How about Grandma takes you and your mom back to Grandma's house this time?" Tao Ying couldn't help but shed tears.
The little girl should be four years old this year, but she looks like she's only two.
"Not going home?" The little girl tilted her head and looked at Tao Ying.
“Yes, go back to your mother’s house.” Tao Ying slowly walked over, and this time the little girl’s eyes were unguarded.
"Mom, the malted milk powder is here." Wang Baomin came in carrying a steaming mug of tea.
"Grandma, shall I feed you?" Tao Ying asked the little girl, holding a spoon.
"My mom has no food to eat," the little girl whispered, swallowing hard.
“Your mom has some, and Grandma saved some for her. This is yours, and Grandma will feed you.” Tao Ying gently blew on it and then brought it to the little girl’s lips.
"Grandma, it tastes so good." The little girl looked at Tao Ying with bright eyes after taking a sip.
"Then drink them all." Tao Ying gently touched the little girl's thin face.
"You all eat. After you finish eating, Baomin and Baoshan, wash your lunchboxes," Tao Ying said quickly when she saw everyone looking at them.
“Why would I use a child to wash?” Li Guiying said with a smile.
Tao Ying had no interest in arguing with Li Guiying; all her attention was focused on the little girl.
After the little girl finished drinking the malted milk powder, she snuggled up to Tao Ying, hugged Tao Ying's arm tightly, and gripped Tao Ying's hand with both her little hands, grasping her index finger and little finger respectively.
"Baby, let's go to sleep." Tao Ying simply sat on the hospital bed, held the little girl in her arms, and gently patted her.
"Baby?" The little girl looked at Tao Ying with surprise.
"Of course, our baby is Grandma's darling." Tao Ying looked directly at the little girl and said earnestly.
The little girl's fever had subsided, but she was still a bit fussy. Tao Ying patted her for a while, and she fell asleep again.
Li Guiying had also finished washing her lunchbox.
"Baomin, take your second uncle and aunt to the guesthouse for the night," Tao Ying said to Wang Baomin.
"Why waste money like that? There are chairs here, we can make do for the night," Wang Dashuan said disapprovingly.
"We still have a tough battle to fight tomorrow, so we can't afford to not get enough rest tonight. You have to listen to me on this. Baomin, you should get some rest tonight too. I'll sleep with Xiaobao, and Baoshan, you can put up a chair and sleep here." Tao Ying made the arrangements.
Wang Baoshan glanced at Tao Ying, wanting to mutter something, but didn't dare.
Now that my mom sees me as neither a nose nor an eye, I'd better say less.
Wang Chunni woke up around 10 p.m. She opened her eyes in terror, then was shocked by what she saw around her, and then horrified to see her mother lying on the bed holding her daughter and her younger brother lying on a stool.
"Mom...Mom?" Wang Chunni's voice was hoarse and weak.
However, Tao Ying had something on her mind and couldn't sleep soundly at all. Wang Chunni's soft voice woke Tao Ying up.
He gently patted the little girl to avoid waking the child, then patted Wang Baoshan hard.
Wang Baoshan was fast asleep when Tao Ying patted him, and he suddenly sat up. He forgot whether he was sleeping on a chair or a plastic stool, so the two plastic stools in the middle shifted and he landed hard on his bottom.
"Mom?" Wang Baoshan was stunned and looked at Tao Ying in a daze.
"Your sister is awake. Go make her a bowl of malted milk powder." After saying that, Tao Ying ignored Wang Baoshan on the ground and went to check on Wang Chunni.
"Chunni, Mom is late," Tao Ying said softly to Wang Chunni as she walked over.
"Mom." Wang Chunni's emotions completely collapsed the moment Tao Ying uttered those words, and she burst into tears like a child.
It turns out that Mom did care about me; she cared about me and loved me too.
