Jianshu did not disappoint his expectations.
Although she had already guessed this, she still pretended to be clueless, her eyes slightly widening, "Really? The one who was just knocked down?"
When Tiedan nodded proudly and triumphantly, she held his face and said happily, "Tiedan, how can you be so awesome! You're awesome! I knew you could do what you said! You're amazing!"
After getting the response he wanted, Tiedan gradually lost himself in Jianshu's various compliments. He was so bewildered that he could no longer conceal the smile on his face.
The younger brothers who were cheering on the side were not to be outdone and started to act as supporting actors.
"Yes, the boss is the best!"
"Boss is awesome!"
“Boss is the best!”
“…”
Tiedan was so happy that his teeth were visible and his eyes were not.
When the praise conference ended, Jianshu remembered his promise.
One time, when comforting Tiedan who had failed again, she asked him about it and waited for him to win so that she could make him something delicious to celebrate.
Now, it's time for her to fulfill her promise.
It is best not to delay doing things you promised to your children; the sooner the better.
"What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you." Jianshu asked for advice.
Tiedan waved his hand. Jianshu didn't understand why, but two children soon came out from the group.
Jianshu took a look and saw that it was Sanmao, who had lost his teeth last time, and Lele, the child whose words were so heartbreaking.
The two men were holding a bucket in their hands, but they were quite far away, so Jianshu couldn't see clearly what was in the bucket.
But she soon found out.
"Ah——" Looking at the mollusks in the bucket, Jianshu immediately jumped three meters away with goose bumps all over his body.
"No, don't come over here! Stay away from me!"
Sanmao and Lele stopped immediately and looked at Tiedan, not knowing what to do.
"Sister, it's an eel, not a snake." Tiedan explained quickly.
He knew that girls were very afraid of snakes, and his mother was afraid of them too. Last time, she encountered a snake in the mountains, and she dropped everything in her hands and ran back. Later, it was his brother who went to the mountain to retrieve the backpack.
Hearing that it was not a snake, Jianshu breathed a sigh of relief, but still did not dare to get close. Even if it was not a snake, it would still be scary.
She doesn't like all mollusks and will walk around earthworms, not to mention eels which look so much like snakes.
"Well, then don't come over here. Take the thing away. I don't want to see it." The sight of a living, moving eel made her sanity plummet. If she didn't want to save face, she would have run away long ago.
Tiedan didn't expect her to react so strongly. Many people are afraid of snakes, including his mother and sister, but their reaction wouldn't be so big.
He felt a little regretful for a moment. If he had known earlier, he would not have caught the eels.
"Sanmao, quickly take out the bucket and take out the loaches and snails inside. Forget about the eels."
"Oh, okay." Sanmao and Lele nodded quickly, picked up their things and ran out. Then several other children followed them out, probably to help.
Seeing the person leave the yard, Jianshu's pounding heart gradually calmed down. The goose bumps on his arms had not disappeared yet, and there was still cold sweat on his back.
"You caught this and want me to cook it for you?" She also understood the meaning from the words just now.
I guess this is the reward Tiedan chose.
Thinking of this, she began to hesitate again.
Tiedan nodded and said, "We just went to catch some eels, loaches and snails. Sister, I'm sorry. I didn't know you were afraid of these. If I had known, I wouldn't have caught them." He felt a little guilty when he said this.
It's rare to see Jianshu look so frightened. It seems he was really scared.
"You don't know that I'm afraid of this, and I never told you. Don't blame yourself." Jian Shu shook his head.
Ignorance is not a crime, this cannot be blamed on Tiedan.
"Okay, didn't we say we wanted to eat something delicious?" Jianshu patted his head, not wanting the little incident just now to ruin the joy of these children after their victory.
That would be such a bummer.
After victory, we should celebrate happily so that we will have the motivation to continue challenges and move forward.
"Are we doing it again today?" Tiedan's eyes suddenly lit up, and the other children also looked at Jianshu expectantly.
They thought that today's delicious food was ruined.
Jian Shu touched his arm and nodded, "Okay, go and bring in the eels, loaches, and snails from outside."
If you promise something, you must do it. It’s best not to make concessions, otherwise people will be disappointed.
"Eels too?" Tiedan was slightly surprised and said hesitantly, "How about forget it? We have plenty of loaches and snails. We'll just eat these."
Jian Shu didn't try to be stubborn and negotiated with him, "Tiedan, can you help kill the eels? If you can, I can cook it for you. If not, I can only make loaches and snails, and I'll make something else to compensate you, okay?"
If she were to kill him, she really couldn't overcome the fear in her heart, but if she killed him well, there would be no problem.
She loved eating this in her previous life. Stir-fried shredded eel and eel noodles were both super delicious. As long as she was not allowed to see the whole eel, she would be fearless for the sake of delicious food.
"Okay, okay, I can kill it. I was the one who killed the eels at home a few days ago." Tiedan nodded in agreement quickly. He had already prepared himself not to eat it, but he didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise.
So what's there to hesitate about? It's just killing eels, right? No big deal!
Children these days are more mature. When their parents are busy on weekdays, they have to be self-reliant and have been exposed to kitchen chores.
Killing fish and cutting vegetables were not difficult tasks, and two or three children immediately jumped out and offered to help.
"And me, I can kill eels too!"
"I can do it too. I'll help too!"
Others didn't know how to do it, so they could only look at the few who had made it with envy. He silently decided that he would have to learn more when he returned. How could he not know how to do something that others could do?
Children all have a competitive spirit. Everyone likes to be in the spotlight and they like to be admired by others. For this reason, they learn to be inward-looking.
You can do laundry? Then I have to do it too!
You can cook? I want to learn too!
As long as you can't roll it to death, roll it to death!
The main point is that one is unwilling to be inferior to others.
To make them admit that they are not as good as others? Impossible!
Compared to adults who assess the situation and know when to retreat, children are much more stubborn.
Of course, it is not ruled out that there are a few who are lazy and have learned to slack off at a young age.
But this is just an exception, and those who strive to improve themselves are the majority.
Only when you grow up and experience more things, that passion of not turning back until you hit the wall will gradually dissipate.
In my midnight dreams I recall my childhood self, not knowing whether I feel regret or loneliness.
