Chapter 20 Family Dinner (1)

"Stop looking, wash your hands and eat first, it won't be too late to look after dinner!"

  Mrs. Du walked in with a bowl of rice, smiling. In the bowl were ten freshly heated meat buns and ten steamed cakes.

  "Gudong!"

  Little Wu'er swallowed his saliva, staring at the bowl in his mother's hand with a yearning look.

  "Little foodie!" Caiwei smiled and flicked his head. "

  Don't be in a daze? Go wash your hands quickly, or else everyone will eat it all up and you'll cry!"

  Wu'er woke up as if from a dream, and quickly moved his short legs to wash his hands.

  It was time for dinner, and the bowl of rice was placed in the middle of the table. The hot buns and steamed cakes were emitting a fragrant aroma, causing the children's stomachs to growl non-stop...

  "Hehe——"

  Hearing the "gurgling" sounds one after another, Caiwei laughed out loud.

  The eldest sister's laughter made the children blush. After a brief embarrassment, they all laughed: "Ha ha ha..."

  Throughout the meal, Mu Caiwei had a warm smile on her face, a smile from the bottom of her heart. In her previous life, she always believed that people were only happy when they were looked up to and stood at a height that others could not reach. Now she felt that being able to sit together with her family and eat a delicious and full meal was a thousand times better than the happiness she pursued in her previous life.

  Happiness is actually very simple, just make the people you love and the people who love you happy, that's enough!

  Mrs. Du was also very happy today. The dry and sallow face finally got rid of the sorrow, and even had a lot of smile lines.

  "Mother has something good for you!"

  With a bit of mysterious pride, she turned and flashed into the kitchen. After a while, she brought out a large bowl, which was filled with a bowl of tender yellow egg custard.

  "Eat, eat, eat as much as you can!" Mrs. Du pushed the large bowl to the middle of the table and gestured to her children with a gentle look.

  "Mom, you eat first!"

  Wen'er picked up a bun and put it into Mrs. Du's bowl.

  "Yes, mom eats first." The children echoed obediently. Fei'er scooped a spoonful of egg custard and put it into Mrs. Du's bowl.

  Caiwei found that the children in the family were very well-educated. Although they were greedy and hungry, no one would reach out until their mother started eating!

  Mrs. Du took the bun handed over by her son, opened her mouth and took a bite, squinting her eyes happily.

  "Well, delicious..."

  Mother started eating, and the children also raised their chopsticks and started eating.

  Although this meal was eaten lively and enthusiastically, there was also humility. There were ten buns, and each person could eat two, but after the children ate one, they would not eat the second one. The older one wanted to leave the bun for the younger one, the younger one wanted to leave it for the mother, and the mother wanted to leave it for the children to share...

  Everyone was busy eating the pancakes, and occasionally scooped a small spoonful of egg custard, and also looked at how much was left in the big bowl.

  Caiwei was both relieved and sad that her brothers and sisters were so sensible, modest and reasonable. They must have been afraid of being poor, so even though the family bought so many delicious foods, they still didn't dare to eat a lot.

  "Come on, eat more, you are growing up now!" Caiwei picked up one of the remaining buns for each child, and one for her mother, and said softly: "Mom, you must also take care of yourself, the children are counting on you!"

  "Okay, Mom will eat, and Wei'er will eat too." The last bun was picked up by Du and put into Caiwei's bowl...

  The meal passed in joy and satisfaction.

  After dinner, the mother took the brothers and sisters who were still unsatisfied to see what Caiwei bought. Caiwei found the pig skin she bought at the butcher's shop and got busy.
