Chapter 465: Tan Nian’s Happiness
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Tan Nian had a very happy day. He even ate lunch at Jiang An’s place. As everyone was busy teaching the children how to sing, the production team took the initiative to provide lunch. There was no need to do any other missions.
After playing, Tan Nian was extremely tired. When he ate, he changed from his usual self and picked up the bowl to eat. He ate a portion more than usual.
If Wang Li was here, she probably wouldn’t believe what had happened. She had always thought that Tan Nian didn’t like to eat, which led to his poor health. She didn’t expect it to be because he didn’t exercise enough.
Jiang Yu and Jiang Yi ate by themselves. Tan Nian imitated them and picked up his chopsticks. However, he could not hold them well no matter how he tilted them. He could only hold them in his hands and use them to try to scoop the food.
Jiang An thoughtfully picked up the chopsticks and took the food for him. When the child was almost done eating, she said, “Don’t you use chopsticks when you’re at home?”
Tan Nian shook his head in confusion. “Grandma said that I’m still young and I’ll learn in the future.”
When he was at home, he would open his mouth to eat. Wang Li would feed him mouthful by mouthful. Furthermore, she would stare at him to make sure he chewed a few times, afraid that he would not digest it if he did not chew it completely.
As for the coarse grains and things that were more difficult to digest, they had never appeared on the dining table. Even now, Wang Li still used milk powder as Tan Nian’s main meal.
After asking and answering, Jiang An figured out the situation. She was surprised that Wang Li would do such a thing. She was also someone who had raised Tan Si. Logically speaking, she should know how to raise children.
“Is there something you can’t figure out?” Zou Bai asked when he saw that she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Jiang An couldn’t talk about Wang Li in front of the camera, so she could only smile and say, “It’s nothing.”
[An’an must be surprised by Tan Nian’s education.]
[It’s really rare for a child of this age to not know how to use chopsticks.]
[I heard that someone always feeds him at home.]
[Our Si Si is the little princess of a rich family. It’s normal to hire a few servants to take care of the child.]
[Taking care of someone and raising a cripple are two different things. It’s very abnormal for a child to not know how to eat by himself at this age.]
[Teaching children is about allowing them to grow up to be outstanding people, not to make them useless.]
[There’s no need to argue with Tan Si’s fans. They don’t have brains at all.]
Tan Nian still did not know that there was a fight online because of him. He held his bowl and continued to eat with all his efforts.
Seeing that his face was covered in food, Jiang An took out a tissue and gently wiped his face for him. “Eat slowly. No one is going to snatch your food from you. Do you want me to teach you how to use chopsticks?”
Tan Nian sensed Jiang An’s gentleness and instantly trusted her. He nodded and said, “Okay.”
Jiang An wrapped Tan Nian in her arms and wrapped her hand around his. She taught him how to use chopsticks step by step. Even though Tan Nian was slow to learn, she was very patient. She waited until he found his preferred method.
From the beginning to the end, Jiang An did not say a single harsh word. Instead, she kept praising Tan Nian for being smart and learning how to use chopsticks so quickly.
In such an environment, Tan Nian no longer had the fear he had when he was by Tan Si’s side. He confidently tried to use chopsticks to pick up food himself.
Jiang Yu and Jiang Yi stared at his chopsticks, as if picking up food was something really important. Their expressions became serious.
“Don’t be anxious. Just pick it up slowly,” Jiang An comforted Tan Nian gently.
This made him want to succeed even more for Jiang An to see. His face was filled with seriousness.
Even the staff were on tenterhooks as they stared at Tan Nian on the monitor.
Tan Si stood in the distance with a look of disdain. Anyway, the camera had not captured her yet, so there was no need to hide her expression. In her opinion, Tan Nian was simply stupid. Even if she taught him how to use chopsticks, he would definitely not be able to learn it.
Under her pessimistic gaze, Tan Nian successfully picked up the vegetables with his chopsticks. The entire production team cheered.
Jiang An clapped her hands and said, “Nian Nian, you’re really awesome!”
Jiang Yu and Jiang Yi stood up and cheered, as if it was a big deal that he knew how to use chopsticks.
Tan Nian smiled in embarrassment and subconsciously snuggled into Jiang An’s arms. Anyone who saw them would think that they were mother and son.
Tan Si clenched her fists in disbelief. Although she did not like Tan Nian, she did not want Tan Nian to be close to Jiang An.
She walked in and pulled Tan Nian up. “Baby, come back with Mommy. It’s already very late. Don’t disturb Auntie.”
Tan Nian’s smile disappeared immediately. He lowered his head and did not speak, but it was obvious that he did not want to go back with Tan Si..
