What a pity.
Such delicious food, but I couldn’t eat a single bite.
And you have to watch them eat.
Li Chen didn't dare to say anything and could only drink another big sip of boiled water to fill his stomach.
As expected, this meal made everyone full.
All the food was also swept away.
Everyone even drank up the two bottles of wine.
After the meeting, Qin Hua helped Hu Guilan and the others clean up the table.
When the two of them said goodbye, Sun Xiu took out some more glutinous rice balls and handed them over. "It's getting late, I won't keep you here anymore. Take these glutinous rice balls back with you and cook them yourself when you're hungry tonight."
Li Qiang nodded and said, "Thank you, Auntie."
After saying that, he took it.
He ate so much meat and vegetables, so he didn't refuse a few dumplings.
Before going to bed at night, Li Qiang and his friend cooked dumplings.
Although I am not very hungry now, the custom is that since there are dumplings, I have to eat some.
After chewing a few times, Li Qiang was stunned. "Black sesame?"
Then he chewed it a few more times and said, "It's really delicious and sweet. Xiaohua, hurry up and eat it too."
Qin Hua nodded, then ate one as well. "Huh? The one I ate seems to have peanut filling."
The two looked at each other and then continued eating.
I exclaim every time I taste a different flavor.
In this way, the two of them ate too much again.
Li Qiang sighed, "Uncle and his friends are really amazing. They can actually put so many different fillings in these dumplings. I thought they were just plain dumplings."
Qin Hua nodded, her eyes narrowed with happiness, "These dumplings are really delicious."
"We can eat the rest tomorrow morning, and it can be used as breakfast."
"Um."
at the same time.
Li Xu's family also cooked some dumplings and gave some to everyone.
Well, except Li Chen.
The poor kid was always hungry.
It kept calling "coo coo~".
Hu Guilan poured him a bowl of glutinous rice dumpling soup and said, "This is glutinous rice dumpling soup. Xiaochen, drink more. It will at least fill your stomach."
Li Jiakang spoke up at this time, "Will you dare to talk nonsense again in the future?"
Li Chen shook his head like a rattle, "I won't dare to do it again. I won't dare to do it again."
"You didn't get to eat a single bite of this delicious food tonight. Are you angry with us?"
Li Chen's face turned pale again. "Dad, what are you talking about? You are doing this for my own good. How can I be angry with you?"
But then I remembered the sumptuous dinner again.
I couldn't help swallowing a few times.
Few parents nowadays can reason with their children.
Even if there is, under normal circumstances, the eldest son will be reasoned with.
Other children don't have this treatment.
Moreover, beating, scolding, and punishment such as not being allowed to eat are also common.
Li Chen naturally didn't dare to get angry.
Li Jiakang nodded in satisfaction. "I think you'll learn your lesson this time. If you dare to talk nonsense again, you won't just starve for a whole day. Drink more glutinous rice ball soup."
"Yes, yes, I've definitely learned my lesson." Then he said to Hu Guilan, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Hu Guilan nodded and said, "Go have a drink over there."
Li Chen walked to the side with the bowl in his hand, took a sip to test the temperature, and then began to drink it.
Halfway through drinking, Li Chen suddenly said "Hmm?"
But no one cared.
Only Li Ping became thoughtful.
After finishing a bowl, Li Chen said to Hu Guilan embarrassedly, "Sister-in-law, can I have some more?"
Hu Guilan also laughed, "Of course, you can drink as much as you want."
After saying that, he served him another bowl.
Li Chen thanked him again and walked aside to drink.
This time the speed was much slower.
Sun Xiu said, "Xiao Xu, why are there so many kinds of fillings in your glutinous rice balls? I just ate several kinds."
Others also echoed.
Li Xu said vaguely, "I spent a lot of money to get this, and I just want everyone to try it."
When the others heard this, they stopped asking questions.
They thanked him again.
After everyone returned to the house, Li Xu looked at the time on his watch and said to Li Chen, "Are you hungry?"
Li Chen nodded, "Hungry."
"Do you really know you're wrong?"
"Second brother, I really know."
"Then wait a while. After midnight, I'll get you something to eat."
Li Chen's eyes lit up, and he quickly walked to Li Xu's side and asked excitedly, "Second brother, really? What's there to eat?"
"You'll know when the time comes."
It was past 12 o'clock before Li Xu got up and walked out of the room.
Then two bowls were brought in under Li Chen's expectant gaze.
Li Chen was shocked when he saw what was in the bowl. "Brother, isn't this the dish for dinner? Why is there still something here?"
Li Xu said angrily, "Everyone is eating such delicious food, how could they not leave some for you? Even my parents know about this, but they just kept it quiet. You've only been punished for one day. It's already the second day, so eat it."
Li Chen was stunned and said, "Brother, what if I really get punished for two days?"
"That's nothing. It won't go bad in two days in this weather. I'll give it to you in two days. Eat it quickly. It's been kept warm on the stove. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
After Li Chen took it, he started eating it in big mouthfuls.
While eating, tears suddenly came to my eyes.
But the eating never stopped.
Only after finishing the meal did Li Chen burst into tears.
When the people in the other rooms heard this, they all smiled with satisfaction.
Li Jiakang said to Sun Xiu, "Alright, go to sleep quickly. I think he'll learn his lesson this time."
Sun Xiu nodded, "I hope so."
After all, he is their own son. How can parents not feel sorry for him?
But if you say the wrong thing, there will be punishment.
What's more, they were also worried that Li Chen would get into trouble by talking nonsense outside.
That's why we have to teach him a lesson.
At the same time, I am also pleased with the relationship between them.
Although they usually make a lot of noise, they often bully Li Chen.
But everyone was thinking of him at this time.
So they turned a blind eye to the behavior of several people leaving food for others.
After hearing this, Li Ping asked Hu Guilan, "Did you put glutinous rice balls in Xiaochen's soup?"
Hu Guilan was shocked. "How did you know?"
Li Ping said angrily, "I'm not stupid. I guessed it when he made a surprised sound while drinking the soup. You said you would starve him for a day, so why did you still give him food?"
Hu Guilan was unconvinced, "Didn't you also leave some food for him?"
Li Ping said helplessly, "So I asked Xiaoxu to wait until after midnight before giving him the food."
Hu Guilan said embarrassedly, "I just couldn't bear it. Besides, everyone is eating tangyuan on New Year's Day, so I just gave him two as a token of my appreciation."
