Chapter 10: Well Taught
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In front of her, there was a stool that was half the height of a person. It was obvious that they were going to place her food on the stool so that she could eat on it. “Oh…”
There were two pots on the stove. It was a big pot and a small pot.
Liu Guixia opened the lid of the small pot. The rice in the small pot was already a little cold. One could clearly see that the pot was filled with sorghum, brown rice, and a lot of chaff.
There was also steamed egg beside the rice.
Yu Hongyan quickly went over to speak to Liu Guixia. She was afraid that others would hear her as she whispered, “I won’t eat the eggs today, let Jiang Yue eat my share.”
“Good girl.” Liu Guixia agreed. She sniffed and turned her face to Yu Hongyan. She smiled and said in an especially soft voice, “From tomorrow onwards, I’ll steam two eggs a day. One for you and one for Jiang Yue.”
Yu Hongyan smiled and shook her head. Her voice was still very soft. “No, I’ve good health. It’s fine even if I don’t eat eggs.”
Li Hehua, who had just laid out the chopsticks, walked to the stove and immediately retorted in a low voice, “You’re already pregnant. How can you not nourish your body? Don’t talk such nonsense.”
“She’s right.” Liu Guixia agreed. “Alright, enough talk. Let’s it.”
Since her mother-in-law had already said so, Yu Hongyan could not say anything more.
They thought that they were whispering and no one else heard them, but Jiang Yue had good hearing and heard everything that went on.
When Li Hehua came over with a small bowl of mixed grain rice, a small wooden spoon, and the egg, she placed it on the stool in front of Jiang Yue. Jiang Yue was not in a hurry to eat. Instead, she picked up the egg and walked to Yu Hongyan’s side.
As she was only three and a half years old, she could only see Yu Hongyan when she looked all the way up.
......
“Hongyan, you’re pregnant. You can eat it.” She passed the egg to her.
“Hey…” Yu Hongyan looked down and saw Jiang Yue’s fair and tender little face. She immediately melted due to her cuteness and spoke out. “Jiang Yue, you’re very attentive, but I do not want to eat it today. I’ve been eating this every day. Be good, eat it. This is for you.”
Jiang Yue shook her head. Her hand was still stretched out.
If Yu Hongyan did not take the egg, she would continue to hold it out.
She was very stubborn.
“This kid...” Yu Hongyan was in a difficult position. She looked at everyone, she was unsure if she should take it.
Everyone at the table saw what was happening. Xue Dafu sighed heavily and said, “Hongyan, you should eat it. Jiang Yue is being sensible. Her parents have taught her well.
Xue Dafu said as he looked at Liu Guixia. “Let’s not be so frugal in the future. Xue Yan has already decided not to go to town to study. I will allow it.”
Xue Yan’s decision to not go to school had been discussed with the family yesterday. Except for Xue Dafu, who was a little unwilling to accept it, the others respected Xue Yan’s decision.
Now that Xue Dafu had agreed, Liu Guixia and the others were naturally happy for Xue Yan.
“Perfect!” Liu Guixia immediately agreed.
“That’s great. Father has agreed!” Xue Wufu happily picked up his little brother’s thin body and spun him around.
Xue Yan, who was being spun around could not react.
Xue Yifu and the others were all smiling.
Because their father did not say anything, the atmosphere at home had been quite depressing since yesterday. Now, everyone had big smiles and cheerful faces.
