As soon as Su Jingjing came out, she saw her daughter smacking her lips, clearly with something stuffed in her mouth.
The group stared at her blankly, and the atmosphere instantly froze.
The little guy covered his mouth with a silly look on his face, his bright eyes darting around. "Mommy, I didn't eat anything."
Su Xiang's expression cracked slightly. "My dear grandson, you're really trying to hide something obvious!"
Su Jingjing's expression changed, and she stared intently at her daughter, her voice turning colder.
"Yuanyuan, what did Mom say? Eating too much is bad for your health. If you get fat and become round, you won't look good in a dress."
Children grow up quickly, and my daughter has visibly gained weight. She's gained at least 30 pounds compared to a year ago. If we don't restrict her diet, she might really become as round as a ball. Being too fat is also a burden on the body, and she knows this all too well.
Hearing his mother's scolding voice, An'an felt sorry for his younger sister, but she really needed to change her greedy nature. Only his mother could control her.
Upon hearing her mother say this, Yuanyuan immediately thought of the big bear in the cartoon. Her face was full of panic, her little mouth pursed, and her eyes were filled with tears.
"Mom, I want to wear a pretty dress. I don't want to get as fat as a ball."
The little one's love of beauty is something she seems to have inherited from someone else; Su Jingjing has really got her into account for that.
Now the whole family dotes on her and can't bear to raise their voices at her. If she doesn't act like a loving mother, the little one will inevitably become spoiled and arrogant.
Looking at her beloved grandson's tear-streaked face, Yan Ling's heart almost broke. She quickly stepped forward and hugged the little guy tightly, gently comforting him, "Don't cry, don't cry, my little darling. No matter what you become, you will always be the most beautiful baby in Grandma's eyes."
As she spoke, Yan Ling reached out and gently wiped away the glistening tears from her beloved grandson's eyes, afraid that the calluses on her hands would rub against his delicate, fair skin.
Li Hanting stood silently beside his wife. It wasn't that he didn't care, but he couldn't interfere when his wife was disciplining the child.
Su Xiang looked at the young couple opposite him, coughed lightly, and said cautiously, "Daughter, don't scare the child. We'll be more careful in the future."
Su Jingjing frowned slightly. Look, she has her two elders protecting her here, and her parents-in-law protecting her at the old house. Her path of education is long and arduous!
She said helplessly, "Mom and Dad, you spoil her too much. It's always like this."
“We only have three precious children in our family, so we have to pamper them. Have you forgotten how much your mother loved you when you were little? You weren’t spoiled, were you?”
Yan Ling said with emotion, her bright eyes sparkling with gentleness and love, instantly bringing back memories of her daughter's childhood.
The master was right; Jingjing was born to enjoy happiness.
Su Jingjing couldn't help but twitch her lips, thinking: The original owner's behavior was hardly considered as being unspoiled.
It seemed that persuading the two elders was difficult, so she had no choice but to turn her attention to Yuanyuan.
The little one's tears had stopped, but his slightly red nose and swollen eyes were still clearly visible, making one feel a pang of pity.
"Mommy...hug me..." came a tender, slightly choked voice, with eyes filled with endless longing and dependence.
Su Jingjing squatted down in front of her and touched her little face. "Mommy didn't mean to be mean to you. Feel your tummy. Is it big? It's easy to have indigestion if it is like this."
Yuan Yuan lowered her head and tried hard to shrink her belly back in, but after several attempts, she only made herself look more embarrassed. Her face flushed, she called out softly, "Mommy."
Su Jingjing also found it funny; how did she end up giving birth to such a lively child?
"You can't be greedy anymore. You have to stop eating when you're full."
"Mommy, I'll be a good girl."
The mother and daughter hugged each other affectionately again, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Two hours later, something came up at the military base, and Li Hanting returned home early.
Children always have so much energy; they've gone out for a stroll with their grandparents again.
Su Jingjing and Dong Qin were sprouting soybeans at home.
"Sister-in-law, change the water every morning and evening from now on, and you'll have bean sprouts to eat in about a week."
Dong Qin looked at Jingjing with admiration and said softly, "Jingjing, you are truly amazing! Did you learn all of this from books?"
My mother-in-law used to say that my younger sister was a blessed person. At the time, she thought my mother-in-law was crazy. But now it seems that my younger sister is really different from ordinary people.
"Yes, sister-in-law, I learned it all from books."
She's not embarrassed at all when she lies now.
“Then I’ll have to make sure Guodong gets to study more in the future.” Dong Qin nodded repeatedly. She looked at the soybeans and had some thoughts in mind. “Jingjing, your sister-in-law wants to ask you something.”
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong? We're family, there's no need to be so formal."
“You know that my sister-in-law has many younger siblings and they are struggling to make ends meet. I want to tell my family how to sprout soybeans so that their lives can be a little easier.”
She's now in the city and probably only goes back once or twice a year. I really miss them.
Her mother wouldn't let her send money back home, fearing her mother-in-law would object, and even said that she and Dashan were going to raise the child.
Su Jingjing paused for a moment. The Dong family members were all kind-hearted. In the previous life, the Su family suffered a lot of hardships because of the original owner, but the Dong family parents did not say that the two should separate.
Even if Dong Qin didn't say anything, but secretly told her family how to sprout beans, they would never know about it.
Seeing that Su Jingjing remained silent for a long time, Dong Qin assumed that she was unwilling. She subconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes at her side and forced a smile, "Never mind, just pretend that my sister-in-law is talking nonsense, don't take it to heart."
