Jian Dan still felt guilty towards the child, so she was willing to give him everything: fish, meat, ribs, bone broth, fruit. Fortunately, the temperature has dropped now, so there's room for many things. The kitchen is stocked with more and more ingredients, and the children can almost order whatever they want to eat. It might be an exaggeration to say that she grants every request, but the food is truly plentiful.
The old lady said to the old man in private,
"With this kind of food, I feel that if this child goes back and eats with us for a few days, he will lose weight."
The Qin family is wealthy, and life on the border has indeed improved a lot in the past two years. The distribution of grain and meat is worlds apart from other places. However, compared to Jian Dan, it really can't compare.
Even the old man and his colleagues never ate like this when they were at work.
At first, the old lady wanted to say a few words of advice, but then she thought about it and realized that the family was not without the means. Her daughter-in-law was capable of getting things to eat for the children, and more importantly, she was willing to give the children food. This was a good thing. People were willing to give, and they were also capable of not letting outsiders notice or gossip. They were the beneficiaries, so what else was there to say?
The human trafficking case has finally come to an end, and the atmosphere in the county town has almost returned to normal, even more harmonious than before. In particular, the Public Security Bureau has been united by this case, with everyone in the county's Public Security Bureau working together as one. Forget about whether they look down on each other or not.
For this one case, everyone stayed up all night, went hungry together, staked out the case together, spent days and nights going through the case files and comparing testimonies, went to the scene in the middle of the night to rescue people, searched the basement, dug pits, looked for family members, and even went next door to freeload a meal with Fengmao.
After more than a month, Fengmao had fully integrated into the new group and finally had time to go next door for a proper meal.
A human trafficking incident caused a great stir for two months. The adults didn't say anything, but several children were forced to get involved. Cheng An and Cheng Rui, who had participated in many missions before, also participated in the later operations. The young boys had grown into men. Not only Cheng Chao, but others also had a high opinion of them. One was good at academics and the other at martial arts. They worked together perfectly and rescued several children.
After this incident, Qin Jing and the others seemed to have transformed overnight. They had shed much of their childishness, and even Qin Heng spoke with more adult seriousness and gravitas.
"Third Aunt, don't make me so much delicious food! Look, my belly has gotten so fat, I can't even run anymore!"
These days, Xiao Heng has been hospitalized, and Jian Dan doesn't let him do too much exercise, but keeps feeding him. The already thin child has become visibly chubby. Today, he was finally allowed to play with his older brother and younger sister, but after running a few steps, the child was stunned.
He couldn't run anymore!
He might not understand other things, but he could understand the saying "the more you eat, the longer you grow." He quickly realized where his weight came from, so his gaze towards Jian Dan was accusatory.
"Third Aunt, I can't keep up with my brother anymore!"
Everyone in the room was laughing uncontrollably.
Sun Jianhong and Qin Qingze, who rushed over after receiving the news that their child had mostly recovered, were both amused and exasperated. They could tell at a glance that their silly son had indeed been living a good life lately. Even when they were with him, he hadn't been raised to be this robust. He had grown quite a bit, with a fleshy face and bottom, and his arms and legs were much stronger.
They knew the old man and woman's habits well; this sister-in-law was indeed willing to give away good things.
Although her mentally challenged son suffered a bit, and she felt sorry for him, in the end, they were still her own siblings. No matter what, protecting one's own sister is the responsibility of an older brother. Others might say something like, "You're a good older brother," but that's not really something to be proud of. Even if it were them, they would at most buy him something, but they might not necessarily show the same level of care.
To be honest, Jian Dan's sister-in-law has done her job quite well.
Because her own child had caused another child to get hurt, Jian Dan felt a bit uneasy. She wasn't stingy, so she scrambled to get anything useful for recovery.
These children loved to eat meat, and they ate it happily. It was a balanced meal with both meat and vegetables, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. They even had extra meals from time to time. But after what she said today, she finally noticed that the children seemed to have gained quite a bit of weight.
The other kids eat a lot, but they also get a lot of exercise. They run around outside all day and get quite tanned, so it's not obvious. But Xiao Heng doesn't get much exercise, so his weight gain is, well, very obvious.
At this time, neither adults nor children were getting enough to eat. Parents were happy if the children could gain weight. Sun Jianhong and Qin Qingze were no exception, so Jian Dan didn't get a chance to feel awkward at all.
Just before getting on the car, Sun Jianhong was still giving her two sons some instructions.
"Son, your third aunt treats you better than your parents. You must listen to her and protect your sister. You must also be filial to your third aunt, understand?"
Now it was Jian Dan's turn to be both amused and exasperated, but she didn't argue with her. She put them in the car, and Jian Dan was also going back to the border with her child. For the past two months, she had been supposed to be going to the factory to discuss sales and contracts, but due to this and that, this important matter had become the one that took up the least amount of her time and energy.
She had completed the task ahead of schedule, and the bean product factory was now on the right track. Jian Dan felt that she could leave.
After all, she still had something important on her mind.
The day before leaving, the whole family changed into clean, plain-colored clothes, and the little one was no exception; today, the hair accessory in his little bun was white.
