The days passed quickly, and it was already the end of September and the beginning of October.
Recently, after school on Fridays, Guo Haochen and his two siblings would return to the Lixia Brigade.
They felt sorry for their grandfather who had to do the autumn harvest alone, so they often went back to the village to help pick peanuts, cut beans, and dig sweet potatoes and taro.
After a period of time, Guo Haochen and his siblings became a little darker but also a lot stronger, except for Guo Ningwan.
The main reason was that Deng Qingling was afraid that they would not be able to bear the food because they did not have enough oil and water, so every time they went back, Deng Qingling would give them some pork to take back.
Guo Haochen and his friends are used to adding oil when cooking following Deng Qingling.
They were willing to use more oil when cooking, and Guo Youxing was afraid that his grandchildren would starve, so he would kill a chicken every ten days or half a month and make soup for the children to nourish them.
Sometimes Deng Qingling would return to the village to improve their food.
After a period of time, Guo Haochen and his siblings, apart from being a little darker, did not lose weight but instead became much stronger, especially Guo Ningwan.
The three older children, Guo Haochen, Guo Ninghuan, all take turns going home early to cook, but Guo Ningwan always goes back to help.
With her brothers and sisters around, she doesn't have to do any work, she just needs to help watch the fire.
She did little work, the food at home was good, and there was no Deng Qingling to watch her while she did her homework. They say a happy heart makes the body fat, so she just gained weight.
Her little face has become a lot rounder, and you can vaguely see her double chin.
Look, Guo Ninghuan is busy cutting vegetables and meat in the kitchen.
Guo Ningwan sat in front of the stove with a small stool. Rice was cooking in the pot, and sweet potatoes and peanuts were roasting in the kitchen.
She stared at it intently, afraid that the food would burn if she wasn't paying attention.
... ... ...
As the sound of bamboo popping came from the kitchen, the peanuts and sweet potatoes were roasted one after another.
Guo Ningwan was sitting in front of the stove, her little hands either peeling roasted peanuts or roasted sweet potatoes, her little mouth stuffed full.
It looks like a little hamster eating.
It looks so cute.
Of course, she did not forget her sister and would stuff one or two roasted peanuts into her mouth from time to time.
Guo Ninghuan couldn't help but say to Guo Ningwan who was enjoying her meal, "Little sister, leave some roasted sweet potatoes for Grandpa and the others. It's almost time for dinner, so don't eat too many roasted sweet potatoes."
Hearing this, Guo Ningwan swallowed the fragrant roasted sweet potato in her mouth and said, "Sister, I'll stop eating after I finish this sweet potato and these peanuts."
"You are such a greedy little cat." Guo Ninghuan shook his head helplessly, with a hint of pampering in his tone.
"Hehe, I'm still young." Guo Ningwan said with a smile: "Grandma said that being able to eat is a blessing, and she even asked me to order more."
you do not say!
The elderly like chubby children. They think that they are not only cute but also a sign of a wealthy and blessed family.
Sometimes when Guo Haochen and his friends stewed meat at home, they would bring it to Uncle Guo’s house.
If the weather is good, Guo Haochen will help Old Mrs. Guo go home for dinner.
Once, when Old Mrs. Guo came to dinner at home, it happened that Guo Ningwan had eaten a lot of peanuts and sweet potatoes before dinner, so she only ate a little and then stopped eating.
Seeing that she ate so little, Old Mrs. Guo kept picking up food for her and asked her to eat more. Even Guo Haochen and the twins next to her were not spared.
When Guo Ningwan saw that Old Lady Guo was looking at her with a loving face, she gritted her teeth and finished the food she had picked for her.
This year, Mrs. Guo is already ninety-seven years old.
She was old and had no teeth, so she ate little. She only ate half a bowl of soft rice and a few pieces of stewed meat. She also said that watching Guo Haochen and his siblings eat, her appetite improved a lot.
That time, Guo Ningwan ate so much that her stomach was full and she kept burping.
When they returned to town, Guo Ningwan told Deng Qingling about it.
Deng Qingling remembered that she had read an article online that mentioned this kind of behavior of the elderly.
This is because they have experienced too much hunger in the past, so they have an inner consciousness that their oral desire is seriously not satisfied.
In other words, when facing a child who is eating, the elderly's inner hunger consciousness will be awakened, making them feel that the child is not full.
That's why we feed our children as much as we can until all the food on the table is eaten.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
When Guo Haochen and his friends were having dinner with Old Mrs. Guo, Deng Qingling and Guo Jianping came back.
Deng Qingling saw that there were only a few dishes on the table, while Guo Haochen and his siblings' bowls were piled high with meat and vegetables.
Deng Qingling couldn't help but say to Mrs. Guo, "Grandma, don't give the children so many dishes at once. If you spoil them like this, they will easily form a habit.
What if they get used to having all the good food and eat the best, and then they keep shoveling food into their bowls when they go out to eat? Will anyone still want to associate with them?
Mrs. Guo: “…”
Is she a stepmother? Is it wrong for her to pick up food for her great-grandson?!
However, she was right. If her great-grandson went to someone else's house to eat and shoveled food into the bowl, it would seem that he was the reincarnation of an evil ghost.
It also shows that the family is very uneducated, raising such a selfish and short-sighted child.
That won’t do. If my great-grandson has a bad temper, how will he find a wife and get married in the future?
Seeing Mrs. Guo’s silence, everyone knew that she had listened to the advice.
Guo Youxing: "..."
Guo Youxing had talked to her about this before, and the children also said they didn't want to eat anymore, but thinking that food shouldn't be wasted, the children ate it anyway.
As a result, in the eyes of Mrs. Guo, Guo Youxing was reluctant to feed the children enough, so she gave the children more dishes so that they could eat their fill.
Afterwards, Guo Haochen and the others put the dishes that were not touched by the rice back into the plates.
Guo Jianping just stood by and watched silently throughout the whole process. What could he say? His wife would handle all the big and small matters in the family.
In just over a month, less than two months, the children have indeed grown a lot stronger. The youngest daughter has gained at least seven or eight kilograms. The weight is especially noticeable on her face, and her original baby fat is turning into a chubby face.
.........................................
My child was like this before. I went out to work and only came home to take care of the babies when I got pregnant with my third child. I saw the elderly putting food into the child's bowl. She wouldn't listen even when I told her. So I just took the food from the child's bowl and ate it. Over time, the elderly rarely put food into the child's bowl.
