that's all.
Those few slices of braised beef were barely warm in the bowl before they were transferred to another bowl.
The two declined each other's offer.
Aunt Zhang wanted her youngest daughter to eat more meat and gain weight, while Pan Ziyi felt that her mother worked hard and should get more nutrition.
The back-and-forth went on for over a minute without any result, and two pieces of braised beef even fell off.
This broke Aunt Zhang's heart.
"My goodness!"
She was quick and agile, immediately picking up the braised beef that had fallen on the ground and putting it in her daughter's bowl.
Then, laughing, he said, "A little dirt won't hurt you!"
Pan Ziyi: "......"
She had initially thought maternal love was great, but when she saw the dusty slices of beef in the bowl, she choked up.
"Sweetie, eat slowly, don't rush."
As Aunt Zhang spoke, she took out a white plastic bag, which was full of braised food.
There are beef, duck wings, duck necks, kelp knots, dried tofu skin, edamame...
In the blink of an eye, Aunt Zhang poured all the braised food from the bag into her lunchbox.
Pan Ziyi was dumbfounded when she saw this scene.
So it was all an act just now?!
As she was thinking, Aunt Zhang's voice came from beside her again.
"Daughter, if you're not full, come and ask for more. Mom has plenty more here." After saying that, Aunt Zhang buried her head in her rice.
Looking at the mountain of boxed lunches that Aunt Zhang was carrying, Pan Ziyi muttered to herself.
Sure enough, parents' parenting styles are different now.
We can't let the children suffer, but we can't let ourselves suffer too...
————————
At the same time.
The sneaky Xiong Bowen secretly took a picture of Pan Ziyi's back and posted it in the group chat.
With a rebellious air about him (Xiong Bowen): "@YoungBoySpringDream, SkinnyMonkey, is this your type? A pure high school student."
Teenage boy's erotic dream (skinny monkey): "Holy crap! Where did this girl come from?"
Damn it (Big Mouth): "That's right, skinny otaku like me love cute girls in JK uniforms the most!"
Chasing the Wind (Xiao Bao): "You know what, his back view is quite good-looking, but I wonder what his face looks like from the front."
With a roguish air about him (Xiong Bowen): "Skinny Monkey, you'd better step up your game. Of the four of us brothers, you're the only one who's never been in a relationship..."
at the same time.
Yongle Restaurant, kitchen.
Three chefs in uniforms were stir-frying vegetables, tossing large woks over a high flame. Sweat dripped from their foreheads, soaking their uniforms.
Thump thump thump—
Looking to the left, four or five apprentices were busy chopping vegetables and preparing dishes.
In the kitchen, there was a tall, thin young man with a sunken face who looked completely different from them.
He was holding his phone, hiding in a corner, with a smile on his face.
"Skinny Monkey, stop playing on your phone and get to work!" a kitchen apprentice shouted.
"You'd better get back to work, mind your own business!" Skinny Monkey roared, his eyes glued to his phone.
"Why!"
The kind apprentice sighed and continued working.
"I'm definitely going to win this girl over!" Skinny Monkey zoomed in on Pan Ziyi's photo, his face beaming.
What do you want to take?
"None of your business..."
He was about to retort when he heard that familiar voice and choked up.
"Boss!" He lowered his head, his face showing guilt, but in his heart he had a different thought.
What bad luck.
When I'm working hard, I can't seem to run into the boss.
I managed to sneak away from my busy schedule and slack off for a bit, but my boss caught me...
The boss, hands on his hips, glared sternly at the skinny guy and snapped, "Playing on your phone during work hours? One hundred yuan off!"
"Boss, let me explain..." Skinny Monkey grabbed the boss's arm with both hands.
"I won't listen to any explanations. The employee handbook is written very clearly, word for word. You're not allowed to use your phone during work hours. If the store is quiet, I'll just turn a blind eye."
"Everyone's so busy right now, working so hard, what are you doing here?"
"Boss, I..."
Skinny Monkey was still prepared to try, after all, one hundred yuan was his daily wage.
Before he could finish speaking, the boss shook off his hand and quickly walked out of the kitchen.
Only one person remained, standing there blankly.
The apprentice who had just reminded him came over now.
"I told you not to play on your phone, why don't you listen?"
"Pah!" The skinny monkey spat, glaring fiercely at the apprentice. "Can't you just be more direct?"
"What, so straightforward?"
The skinny monkey sighed as he looked at the foolishness in the apprentice's eyes.
"So you mean you could just say the boss is coming?"
"I don't dare, the boss will scold me again..."
"What an idiot!" Skinny Monkey waved his hand. "You'd better get back to work, I don't want to see you."
After the apprentice left, Skinny Monkey picked up his phone again.
At this moment, the group chat has 99+ messages, and other people keep tagging him.
Especially Xiong Bowen, who kept sending his emojis in the group, as if afraid he wouldn't see them.
"Hey! The boss just came by." He sent a message, and the other three replied quickly.
With a rebellious and roguish air (Xiong Bowen): "What happened next?"
Chasing Wind Boy (Xiao Bao): "You rascal, you always only say half of what you mean, I really want to beat you up!"
Damn it, Dad (Big Mouth): "+1".
