Shen Qingqing was a very open-minded person. She was a big star in her previous life, so she had a strong heart. And she thought that even though her stomachache was known to others, at least it was not broadcast live, right?
At least it hasn't gotten to the worst!
Then everyone saw Shen Qingqing lying on the lazy sofa in the bedroom, holding a cup of stomach-nourishing hot tea in her hand and pointing.
Zhou Jiayan spread out a suitcase that was taller than him, and began to go in and out of the huge cloakroom.
"Yanyan, remember to bring some loose clothes, as there will be a lot of outdoor activities."
"Remember to bring your hat and sunglasses. It's summer now and the sun is very strong. Make sure you wear sunscreen, otherwise you'll be a dark-skinned charcoal when you come back!"
"Oh, and remember to pack the insect repellent we bought at the supermarket."
"That mother-and-child outfit with the crocodile pattern is nice. Take it with you. When we go out, people will know we are mother and child."
…
Under Shen Qingqing's command, the "little child laborer" folded the clothes one by one and put them into the box. He pouted and looked unhappy, but his hands were moving very seriously.
At first, he folded the papers a little messily, so Shen Qingqing asked the nanny to demonstrate it to him several times. Gradually, Zhou Jiayan folded the papers more and more neatly, and his style was not much different from that of the adults.
Can't you see that he is quite talented in doing housework?
Thinking of this, Shen Qingqing praised directly, "Wow, Yanyan is quite talented in folding clothes and packing luggage. It seems that I can rest assured to hand over this task to you in the future."
Zhou Jiayan responded to Shen Qingqing with a cold snort, then he turned his back, showing that he didn't want to pay any attention to Shen Qingqing.
Seeing Zhou Jiayan working so hard and Shen Qingqing so relaxed, the audience in the live broadcast room began to feel disappointed with them.
[I really admire Shen Qingqing. She bullies kids with a clear conscience and without any hesitation.]
[The most important thing is that she always achieves her goal. Yanyan is really too obedient and sensible. If it were my child, she would have made a scene a long time ago.]
[Yanyan is still too young to know that working hard at this time is bad for yourself. As long as you do a bad job, they will not dare to give you any more tasks.]
[What if, what if, Shen Qingqing is deliberately taking this opportunity to cultivate Zhou Jiayan's ability to be independent? It's not a bad thing for children to do housework. ]
[Do you believe what you said above? I can only see Shen Qingqing's expression of gloating over other's misfortune.]
…
After all, Zhou Jiayan was small and certainly not as fast as an adult, so by lunch time he had only cleaned up half of the things.
Shen Qingqing claimed that she was not a stepmother who would "treat" her children harshly, so she said, "That's it for now. Let's go have lunch and continue cleaning up in the afternoon."
Shen Qingqing just had gastroenteritis, so it was impossible for her to eat spicy food for a short period of time.
The chefs also prepared light food for her like Zhou Jiayan's, mainly including scrambled eggs with shrimp, blanched broccoli, mu shu pork, stir-fried shredded chicken with onions, etc.
The chef had already divided the staple food and side dishes into small plates and placed them in front of the two of them.
The dishes all looked very good, with bright colors. However, for Shen Qingqing, who loved spicy food, these dishes were a bit bland, especially since she almost vomited from eating vegetable salad in her previous life, and now she loved meat even more.
Of course, she was very aware of her own physical condition and knew that it was not the chef's problem but her own, so she could only pick out the eggs, shrimps, chicken, etc. that she liked and eat them.
As for the vegetables, Shen Qingqing put down her chopsticks after taking two bites. As for the broccoli that is a must in every salad, she didn't even touch it.
Shen Qingqing's picky eating behavior was completely noticed by Zhou Jiayan who was sitting next to her.
As a five-year-old child, Zhou Jiayan naturally has foods that he doesn’t like to eat. For example, he really doesn’t like onions. He feels that there is a strange taste in his mouth.
Therefore, he always secretly picked out the onions when eating.
It was not until Zhou Yexuan returned home and the father and son had dinner together that Zhou Jiayan's little trick could naturally not be hidden from the old fox Zhou Yexuan.
As a serious and highly self-disciplined person, Zhou Yexuan naturally could not tolerate his son's bad habit of being picky about food, let alone onions, which are very healthy foods.
So he put on a stern face and gave Zhou Jiayan, who was only three years old at the time, a lecture. In many subsequent meals, he specifically asked the chef to serve Zhou Jiayan dishes with onions, and even made onions into various snacks for Zhou Jiayan to eat.
Since then, Zhou Jiayan never dared to pick out onions again. Of course, he still didn't like to eat them very much. He would only start eating onions after he had finished all other food.
This time, Zhou Jiayan did the same. He picked the onion aside and planned to eat it all in one go with his eyes closed.
However, when he was looking at the onions in the bowl with great confusion, he saw Shen Qingqing not far away picking all the vegetables into a separate plate, and the plate of broccoli was not touched at all.
Zhou Jiayan immediately felt aggrieved. He clearly remembered his father saying that adults can only grow to this size if they are not picky eaters.
Besides, he is a child and he tries hard not to be picky about food, so how can his stepmother, an adult, not eat any vegetables at all!
He stared at Shen Qingqing seriously, "How can you not eat any vegetables? Dad said you can't be picky about food."
Shen Qingqing didn't expect that she would be taught a lesson by a five-year-old child, and that Zhou Yexuan was even mentioned.
She turned her head and met Zhou Jiayan's eyes. "Oh, so you are not picky about food at all?"
Then Shen Qingqing pointed at the onions in Zhou Jiayan's bowl and said, "You are also picky about food? What qualifications do you have to criticize me?"
"It's not that I won't eat it, I just eat it last." Zhou Jiayan explained excitedly, "I'll eat it now and show you."
As he said this, he ate all the shredded onions in one go, as if ready to die. Then he looked at Shen Qingqing and said, "I've finished eating. You can eat the vegetables too."
However, Shen Qingqing pushed the bowl and chopsticks away, shrugged and said with a smile, "Zhou Yexuan is your father, but not my father. I am not under his control."
Shen Qingqing's shameless behavior once again shocked Zhou Jiayan and the audience in the live broadcast room.
[Is Shen Qingqing setting a bad example for Yanyan? Adults are picky eaters.]
[The most important thing is that Zhou Jiayan had eaten all the onions, but she didn't move at all.]
[Is it possible that this is Shen Qingqing's way of provoking the child to finish eating the onion?]
[You're overthinking it. Shen Qingqing is just caring about her own happiness. ]
[Shen Qingqing is actually picky about food and doesn’t like to eat vegetables! Then how come her skin is still so good? I’m jealous! ]
[Is this the time to discuss skins? 】
No matter how netizens view Shen Qingqing's behavior, it really hit little Zhou Jiayan hard.
In Zhou Jiayan's mind, adults should be more mature and sensible, just like his father, but the stepmother in front of him is even worse than him.
However, he had already eaten all the onions. He felt very unconvinced, but he was small and could not force Shen Qingqing to finish the vegetables.
Finally, Zhou Jiayan made a decision. He wanted to complain to his father! His father clearly said that he was not allowed to be picky about food!
Then Shen Qingqing saw Zhou Jiayan raise his arm and fiddle with his children's watch.
She felt something was wrong and was about to stop it when she heard a mature and deep man's voice coming from her watch.
"Hey, Yanyan, why are you calling dad now? Is there something wrong?"
Oh no, it turned out to be her cheap husband.
Zhou Jiayan, this little brat, actually learned to tell tales! Where did he learn this bad habit?
Hearing his father's voice, Zhou Jiayan suddenly perked up, "Dad, you said that good children can't be picky about food, but mom doesn't eat any vegetables at all."
It was already late at night in Country A. Zhou Yexuan had just finished a day of hard work and was about to wash up and rest, but he didn't expect to receive a call from Zhou Jiayan.
His first reaction was whether Zhou Jiayan had encountered something bad, or whether Shen Qingqing had some conflict with Zhou Jiayan.
However, what was unexpected was that the matter was indeed related to Shen Qingqing, but it was Zhou Jiayan who accused Shen Qingqing of being picky about food and not eating vegetables.
Zhou Yexuan was amused, and his first reaction was: when did the two of them become so close? Yanyan had never paid much attention to Shen Qingqing before, but now she actually called to complain, even about something as trivial as being picky about food.
He recalled the conversations he had with Shen Qingqing in the past few days. Could it be that Shen Qingqing had really changed? Had she really started to take care of Yanyan?
He laughed deeply and said to Zhou Jiayan, "Being picky about food is bad for your health. If children are picky about food, they won't grow tall. Adults who are picky about food may also lack various nutrients and cause health problems. But adults are aware of the consequences of being picky about food. This is their own choice and they are ready to bear it."
I have to say that Zhou Yexuan's logic is indeed clear, and he explained the truth to Zhou Jiayan in just one sentence.
Finally, he added, "Yanyan, if you are as picky about food as your mother, can you accept the consequences of not growing taller?"
Zhou Jiayan shook his head decisively, "No, I want to be as tall as my dad! I don't want to be short and stocky."
After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Shen Qingqing, "I understand. Mom was picky about food when she was young, so she is so much shorter than you, Dad. I must eat well, otherwise I will only be as tall as mom in the future."
Shen Qingqing just felt like he was shot in the knee. What the hell, he didn't understand shit!
Although she is not as tall as a model, she is 168cm tall barefoot, which is definitely the best height for a female star. Yet this brat actually compared her with a man.
The image of Zhou Yexuan in her memory reappeared in Shen Qingqing's mind. The man seemed very tall, about 187cm tall, and very oppressive when he stood up. Every time the original body saw Zhou Yexuan in the past, she felt both love and fear for him.
However, the conversation between the father and son was not over yet. After comforting Zhou Jiayan, Zhou Yexuan said, "Take the watch to mom. I'll talk to her."
Then Shen Qingqing heard the man's low voice again, "Qingqing, I think you should know the consequences of taking too little vitamins. Not only will it lead to constipation, but it will also cause various skin and hair problems, and vegetables also contain dietary fiber..."
