Chapter 372 What's wrong with taking a bite?
Even just a bowl of fish soup, you can eat several pieces by dipping cornbread in it.
It's torture to have food right in front of you but not be able to eat it. But since not all the dishes have been served yet, you can't touch your chopsticks. You can only force yourself to endure it.
Adults can hold back, but children don't have such strong willpower.
Chen Erbao asked impatiently, "Mom, when can we eat?"
He was so hungry for it!
The other children also looked over with expectant expressions.
Zhou Zhaodi lowered her voice and said, "We can eat once all the dishes are served. Just bear with it for now; you'll get your share today."
The Gu family members are all watching from the next table; we can't let them think our child is ill-mannered.
"Okay." Chen Erbao continued to salivate as he smelled the aroma.
After the second dish of stewed pig's trotters was served, a small, dark hand suddenly reached out and grabbed a pig's trotter from the plate.
"Put it back!" Chen Jianye immediately scolded his eldest son in a low voice.
Chen Xiaobao ignored him and grabbed the pig's trotter and stuffed it into his mouth.
So Chen Jianye picked up the chopsticks on the table and slapped his hand hard: "No manners!"
"Smack!"
It immediately turned completely red.
"Wow!!!"
Chen Xiaobao immediately cried out in pain, but still held tightly to the pig's trotter.
"Hey, why did you hit him?!"
Li Chunhua immediately jumped in to protect her child, saying with a pained expression, "He's just a kid, it's perfectly normal for him to be hungry and have cravings, can't you just talk to him nicely!"
My husband is so strong, what if he hurts our son?
The workers eating in the canteen all turned to look when they heard the noise.
With so many people watching the spectacle, Chen Jianye suddenly felt extremely embarrassed.
So she reached out and snatched the pig's trotter from Chen Xiaobao's hand, put it back on the plate, and pulled him off his seat, her face stern: "You good-for-nothing! Haven't you been given enough to eat at home?! If you cry again, get out and don't eat anymore!"
Chen Xiaobao immediately cried even louder: "Waaah! I want to eat pig's trotters! I want to eat pig's trotters!!"
Helian Jiao frowned unhappily at his shrill crying.
This little human brat is such a nuisance, why is he crying again!
Jiang Manyun, the hostess, quickly came over to smooth things over: "It's alright, it's alright, eat if you want, the children at our table have all started eating too."
As she said this, Grandpa Gu picked up his chopsticks and placed a pig's trotter on Helian Jiao's plate: "My dear, have a pig's trotter."
This little girl is so tiny, yet she already complains about other children crying. I wonder if she learned it from Tingyun.
"Thank you, Grandpa Gu." Helian Jiao immediately beamed and started gnawing on the pig's trotter.
Upon seeing this, Li Chunhua retorted confidently, "Look, even that little girl, Guabao, is gnawing on a pig's trotter. What's wrong with our little Bao taking a bite?"
They were all starving, but that brat had her mouth all greasy from eating!
So she reached out and pulled Xiaobao to sit on the stool, picked up another pig's trotter and put it in his bowl, coaxing, "Don't cry, my good boy, let's eat pig's trotters too, okay!"
"A doting mother often spoils her son!"
Chen Jianye glared at her and cursed, then took the opportunity to back down.
Seeing that Chen Xiaobao had already eaten, Chen Erbao immediately stood up and went to pick up a pig's trotter to eat as well.
Zhou Zhaodi didn't stop them, since the host had given permission: "Dabao, you should eat too."
So all the Chen family children picked up pig's trotters and started gnawing on them, eating with great satisfaction.
Grandpa Gu asked his granddaughter, "Siyu, would you like to eat pig's trotters?"
