Chapter 255 Picky Eater
Ningning couldn't say anything herself, nor could she let Ranran say anything, so she stopped Ranran. The two children played around, and it was very lively for a while.
Just as the two children were fighting over the snack, Xixi said calmly, "Dad said that Mommy has a lot of snacks in her bag and she can give them to us when we wake up."
Ningning and Ranran looked at each other, then looked at Xixi together and shouted, "Sister, why did you say that? Didn't we just agree to tease mom together?"
The three children were discussing it seriously. Ye Qian just wanted to laugh and say, "You're teasing me. Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Ye Qian didn't want to interrupt the children's interest and start arguing again, so she immediately changed the subject: "Okay, okay, let's see what snacks we have today."
Ye Qian opened her bag and took out packages of nutritious things. There were baby formulas. Since the three children were close in age, they could drink the same level of milk powder. There were also some nuts and snacks to help them with their teething, and some candies.
Although Ye Qian was a first-time mother, she knew that eating too much sugar was not good for the teeth, and it seemed to be bad for the brain as well. She heard that eating too much sugar would make one stupid. Of course, she couldn't be sure, but which child didn't like to eat sugar? So Ye Qian would control the amount of sugar they ate. She would cut a White Rabbit milk candy into three pieces with a knife, and give one small piece a day. She had to rinse her mouth immediately after eating it. Anyway, she thought it was okay this way, as it not only made the children less greedy, but also satisfied their desire for sugar.
For children of this generation, having three children in their family is already very happy, so Ye Qian naturally thinks that the children’s opinions on this matter are not important.
So Ye Qian is really a very conflicted person, and she can feel it herself.
After Ye Qian took out the snacks, she didn't rush to open them and eat them. She looked at Ye Qian and asked, "Then Mom, can we have a pack now?"
Ye Qian nodded: "You can eat a bag of nuts."
The three children then cheered when they found nuts they could eat from the pile of snacks.
Ye Qian had packed these nuts in small transparent bags in the space in advance, because they needed to be stored and not all of them would be eaten at once. If the packaging bags were not handled properly, people would easily notice something unusual, so Ye Qian took advantage of the time and packed some edible snacks in the space in advance.
Ye Qian watched the three children finish the nuts in their hands, feeling somewhat unsatisfied. Then they looked at the ones on the table. They raised their heads and looked at Ye Qian pitifully. Ye Qian couldn't stand such looks the most, but she also knew that children needed to be restrained, so she immediately turned her head away: "Hey, I don't know when your father will be back."
The three children knew that it was useless to pretend to be pitiful, but their education did not teach them to eat directly, so they just looked at the table pitifully.
The four of them were confronting each other, trying to see who would show weakness first. Just when Ye Qian couldn't stand it anymore, the door was pushed open.
Ye Qian looked towards the door and saw that it was Gu Jinyan who came back. Ye Qian felt relieved. She really couldn't stand the way the little cutie looked at her, so she immediately ran to the door with a smile on her face to greet Ye Qian.
Ye Qian's smile made Gu Jinyan think that he had done something wrong. He immediately became alert and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ye Qian explained what happened just now, and Gu Jinyan breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that it wasn't his problem. "It's okay. Put the snacks away later and give them to them in the afternoon."
"Yeah, yeah." Ye Qian nodded.
Then the two of them walked into the kitchen together, and Ye Qian had time to see what vegetables Gu Jinyan bought. If Ye Qian was at home, she would basically take the food directly from the space, or go to the state-owned restaurant to order some meat dishes and stir-fry some vegetables at home. She really hadn't been to the vegetable market for a long time.
Actually, it’s not Ye Qian’s fault. It wasn’t called a vegetable market before, and it was all state-owned. Purchases were limited with tickets, and you had to queue up early in the morning. You had to buy vegetables for several days at a time because no one knew when the vegetables would be available next time. Now this is really called a vegetable market. Farmers nearby spontaneously pick the vegetables from their own homes and then bring them here to sell.
Each family has a few dishes, and the types are different. Even though times are hard, there are still smart people. When they see someone setting up stalls for a few days and no one says anything, they immediately think of something. Gradually, more and more people set up stalls, and gradually a small vegetable market is formed. Not to mention the variety of vegetables, the key is that they are fresh. Everyone has been through hard times, and they have eaten elm bark and Guanyin soil during difficult times. Now they can eat such fresh vegetables, which was unimaginable before. More and more people have smiles on their faces, because everyone feels that life is getting more and more promising.
Ye Qian could hardly feel this change because she was in school and the study atmosphere was very intense. Ye Qian had never had the habit of getting up at night. Once, she drank too much water and got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. She actually found someone secretly reading a book with a flashlight in the bathroom. She almost wet her pants with fright, but fortunately she calmed down quickly and reminded herself to drink less water at night.
Ye Qian looked at the vegetables that Gu Jinyan bought. The cabbages were so juicy that even she, who didn't like vegetables, thought they looked good. But after they were fried, Ye Qian didn't take a single bite. Then Gu Jinyan directly put a handful of vegetables into Ye Qian's bowl. Ye Qian stared at the vegetables in the bowl, then looked at Gu Jinyan, and buried the vegetables under the rice. Gu Jinyan immediately said, "Eating more vegetables is good for your health."
The three children all looked at Ye Qian. Ye Qian said, "Eat it. I'm not picky about food."
The three children didn't believe it. Ningning said, "Mom is the pickiest eater. She doesn't even like vegetables."
Ranran and Xixi were very considerate and didn't say anything at this time. Ningning saw that Ye Qian didn't say anything, so she picked up a piece of green vegetables with chopsticks and put it in her bowl. She stuffed it into her mouth one bite at a time. After eating, she said, "Look, Mom, the green vegetables are delicious."
Ranran and Xixi still didn't say anything, but they both looked at Ningning. Ningning looked confused as to why everyone was looking at her. Then Gu Jinyan said, "You are worse than a child. None of the three children in your family are as picky about food as you."
Haha, the three children are authentic natives of the 70s, so naturally they are similar to the people here, but she is different. She has never liked eating vegetables since she was a child. It was like this in her previous life and it is still like this in this life. Gu Jinyan knows it, and he is the same. Moreover, he didn’t say anything about it before, so why is he talking about her now?
And she really didn't refuse to eat at all. Wasn't the food the same at school? She couldn't complain outside, so she had to force it in. When she got home, she had to eat what she didn't like. Ye Qian was a little unhappy.
