“You have a point there; you don’t know how these two kids immediately stared at Yu Xiu once they got out of the car and said, ‘Mom, how did you become so pretty?’
I stared at Yu Xiu’s face at that time and didn’t think there was much of a change. Is there something wrong with my eyes or the kids’ eyes?” Fang Xiu chatted with Qin Xue.
“Actually, neither of you have a problem with your eyes. Isn’t it because you are all using the facial masks I make? They are very effective, aren’t they?
It’s just that we see each other every day, so we don’t notice a big change. But the kids haven’t seen their Aunt Yu Xiu for a week, and they noticed the difference as soon as they saw her.
When people who haven’t seen each other for a long time meet again, not only will the kids feel a big change, but others will, too.” Qin Xue knew about this kind of visual impact.
“You’re right. Oh, Qin Xue, there are two more kids tonight. You sleep in bed with me and Taotao tonight, and let the kids sleep with their mom.” Previously, Fang Xiu would share a bed with little Jingtao, and the other three would sleep on the floor.
“I don’t mind; I can do either. Then tonight, I’ll sleep with our Fang Xiu sister ” Qin Xue joked.
“Alright, stop chatting and wash your hands for dinner.” Yu Xiu called out while holding a plate of stir-fried pork and cabbage.
“Oh, time to wash our hands and eat.” Jiajia let out a cheer and dragged her brother to the kitchen.
People gathered around the table for dinner, with a dish of stir-fried pork and cabbage, a cold cucumber salad, and a fish head tofu soup.
Qin Xue liked to drink some soup before dinner. She scooped up a bowl of fish head tofu soup, took a sip, and found it quite fresh.
Little Jingtao sat on his mother’s lap, watching everyone eat, and stretched out his hand to grab some food. Fang Xiu didn’t allow it, and he yelled out in protest.
“Auntie, little brother said he’s hungry; just let him eat. Look, he’s calling out. How pitiful.” Jiajia, seeing her little brother’s mother not letting him eat, wants to push her own bowl towards him.
“Wow, Jiajia knows that little brother is hungry and wants to eat. Can Jiajia tell Auntie what little brother wants to eat?”
Fang Xiu actually had a bowl of cooled fish soup ready to feed Jingtao since he was already five months old and could eat semi-solid food.
“He said he wants rice and vegetables.” Jiajia’s answer came sweetly, in a babyish voice.
“Well, thank you, Jiajia. I have some cooled fish soup for little brother. When it gets colder, Auntie will feed him. You eat first,
Little brother is too young and doesn’t have any teeth yet to eat rice and vegetables.
Tomorrow, mom will make some porridge for little brother to eat, okay?” Yu Xiu softly said while giving Jiajia a piece of meat.
Yu Xiu also gave Xu Hu a piece of meat and put a cold cucumber salad slice on the plate for both kids.
“Mom, when will little brother grow teeth and be able to eat rice?” Jiajia was still full of questions.
“Jiajia, eat first, and don’t choke. We can talk more after dinner, alright?” Yu Xiu patiently took care of the child.
“Alright, mom, I understand.”
“Yes, our Jiajia is a good girl.” Yu Xiu touched Jiajia’s head and praised her. Jiajia’s eyes squinted in a smile.
Qin Xue watched the interaction between Yu Xiu and her children, wondering how she would get along with her own children in the future?
After dinner, people finished with laughter. Fang Xiu fed little Jingtao some soup.
Qin Xue took out the oranges she bought in the afternoon, peeled them, and added some brown sugar in water to make some orange tea, which helps digestion when consumed after meals.
Since the fresh orange peel is a bit spicy, Qin Xue added brown sugar to make it taste better. She poured a cup for everyone.
“Auntie, this tea is delicious, sweet.” Jiajia took a sip of the sweet tea and enjoyed it.
“Jiajia, if you like it, drink more, but remember to rinse your mouth afterward, or the sweetness will attract bugs to bite your teeth.”
Qin Xue didn’t forbid Jiajia from drinking more, but she reminded her to rinse her mouth after drinking to avoid getting cavities.
“I got it. Thank you, Auntie. Brother, drink quickly; it’s delicious.” The little girl was taught well, making sure her brother wasn’t left out!
“Mmm, brother will drink up. Little sister, you drink slowly, or you’ll choke.” Xu Hu, being a few years older, knew how to be shy. With several aunts laughing and looking at them, Xu Hu’s face turned red as he called out to his sister.
Everyone laughed even more when they saw this..
