Chapter 76 Sanni's Reward
This was the first time my son had ever said he "liked" someone, and he even added the word "very" to emphasize it.
Perhaps because her son was too precocious and intelligent, he lacked emotional intelligence and was indifferent and distant to everyone except a few relatives.
For example, the games he played with other children his age in the compound were not as appealing to him as a book.
However, there is now an exception.
Once it happens, it will happen again. Perhaps one day my son will become like any other child.
Thinking of this, Jiang Manyun suppressed her excitement and said, "My baby is a good child. Mom and Dad both like her very much. You are the older brother and a boy, so you have to protect your little sister well."
Gu Tingyun replied solemnly, "I will."
Gu Qingshan, a grown man, wasn't as sensitive and sentimental as his wife. He patted her thin shoulder with his large, fan-like hand and said, "Talking is useless. With your small frame, I could knock five of you flying with one punch! Come on, let's go eat and improve our physical fitness first."
Gu Tingyun thought for a few seconds and felt that his father made sense, so he nodded and said, "Yes, I will eat an extra bowl of rice at every meal from now on."

By this time, the Chen family had almost finished their dinner.
We ate a small half-pot of potato stew with meat left over from lunch, along with freshly braised pig's head.
It was a rare treat to be able to eat meat to our hearts' content, and the whole family ate until they were stuffed.
Ma Xiulian glanced around and asked, "Are you all full?"
Chen Erbao immediately shouted, "It's already up to my throat, I can spit it out as soon as I open my mouth."
Believing it to be true, Helian Jiao frowned and said, "Second Brother, go outside quickly."
Chen Erbao stuck out his tongue and said with a grin, "Just kidding. I wouldn't bear to spit out the meat."
Ma Xiulian was too lazy to watch his monkey show, so she went inside and took out the canned beef.
So Chen Erbao suddenly felt that he could eat another can of beef.
It's a pity that he's only ever eaten beef once in his life, and it was from an old ox that was so tough he could barely chew it.
The rest of the Chen family also fixed their gazes on the cans, involuntarily swallowing hard.
Zhou Zhaodi was quickly calculating in her mind how much she would get.
Such a rare treat as canned beef was definitely out of the question for the girls.
That leaves eight adults and three boys, so each of them will definitely get a spoonful.
As for her little niece, she doesn't need to worry about her; her mother-in-law will definitely save a special portion for her.
However, Ma Xiulian made a surprising statement: "This canned beef is a reward for Sanni."
"Huh? Why are we rewarding Sanni?"
Zhou Zhaodi was dumbfounded, and everyone else was stunned as well.
Sanni stared wide-eyed in disbelief, wondering if there was something wrong with her ears.
Chen Erbao, who dotes on his sister, quickly realized what was happening and stood up for her: "Grandma, you got the name wrong, didn't you? This can of food should be for Guaibao!"
Helian Jiao blinked her big eyes, looking completely innocent, and said, "I ate it."
Chen Erbao was taken aback at first, then his eyes lit up and he asked, "Did you leave any for my brother?"
Helian Jiao said softly, "I saved something else for you."
As she spoke, she took out chocolates and White Rabbit candies from her pocket. She preferred meat to sweets.
Chen Erbao immediately pounced over and grabbed the candy in his hand, saying, "Good little sister, your brother hasn't spoiled you for nothing."
"Quiet."
Ma Xiulian said with a stern face, "When we encountered the wild boar today, Sanni bravely carried Guaibao and ran away together, so I want to commend and reward her for protecting her sister."
