Chapter 2462: Playing With Them (3)
“Then, do we have to write it with three ‘humans’?” San Bao looked up and asked Qiao Nan. “Mom, look. Da Bao likes to eat meat. Er Bao likes to eat meat. San Bao also likes to eat meat. One, two, three. There are three humans.”
Qiao Nan smiled and held San Bao’s hand. “No matter how good meat is, we can’t overeat. As such, it’s enough for two ‘humans’. It won’t change. For example, you are called San Bao today. You will still be called San Bao tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.”
“Oh…”
Er Bao nodded, expressing that he already recognized the ‘meat’ word.
Even if Da Bao and San Bao didn’t say anything, Qiao Nan knew that they were the same as Er Bao. They would have a deep impression of this ‘meat’ word and wouldn’t forget how to write it in the future.
There was no choice. At this age, aside from playing, the three children would be particularly obsessed with eating.
Meat was their favorite food. How would they forget about the word that was related to it? They would only remember it well.
After knowing how obsessed with eating her three children were, Qiao Nan decided to think of ways to educate them via their foodie nature.
As for other things, Qiao Nan expressed that they weren’t important. When the three children grew up, this would become an interesting childhood memory.
“Mom, cow. Cow.” Very quickly, the three children and two adults arrived at their destination. Er Bao pointed to the picture of a cow outside the store excitedly. His eyes shone. It was as if that picture of a cow had become a delicious plate of steak.
Seeing Er Bao’s greedy look, Miao Jing kept laughing. “Er Bao, no matter how hungry you are, we have to wait. We can have it soon.”
Based on her grandson’s greedy look, she suspected that if she moved her hands and feet slower, Er Bao would rush forward and gnaw at the picture of the cow.
She didn’t know where the three children’s love for eating came from.
Were Hua Hua and Zhai Sheng so greedy when they were young as well?
It was a pity that her husband didn’t like to go out. Also, when Hua Hua and Zhai Sheng were young, the society hadn’t developed to what it was today. They could just casually click on their mobiles and get a bunch of things they couldn’t eat at home delivered to their house.
She was satisfied with the growth of her grandchildren but regretted the growth of her son and daughter as she had never participated in it.
As she looked at the three children, Miao Jing realized her memory was getting worse recently. There were a couple of times she nearly addressed Da Bao as Zhai Sheng and San Bao as Hua Hua.
It was just that when she turned her head and found that there was another boy who looked similar to ‘Zhai Sheng’ and ‘Hua Hua’ did Miao Jing remember that ‘Zhai Sheng’ wasn’t her son but her eldest grandson, Da Bao. The other wasn’t her daughter but her granddaughter, San Bao.
She had long known that one would have a lot of illnesses when one was older.
She also wasn’t sure if her situation of being confused for a while but able to recover quickly from the mistakes in her memory was considered normal.
Perhaps she would go to the hospital or ask a Chinese medicine practitioner the next time what the problem was.
“Grandma, order the dishes.” Er Bao diligently stuffed the menu into Miao Jing’s hands. Then, he looked around and asked Qiao Nan, “Mom, what is this vegetable? What is this? Is this ice cream?”
Qiao Nan’s patience was always the best in front of the three children. In the face of their never-ending questions, Qiao Nan would always talk to them gently and never despise them for being noisy.
There were some people who initially frowned when they saw Qiao Nan with three small children by her side entering the shop, but they soon relaxed their eyebrows.
They knew that they shouldn’t be calculative toward children. However, children at this age were extremely cheeky. They would always run, jump, and knock over things. They would also open their mouths wide and cry loudly, thus causing everyone to have headaches.
No matter how good one’s child was, in the face of a child who was always energetic, even their biological parents would feel annoyed at times.
Even parents were impatient with their child. Could they expect them to provide everyone with a quiet and comfortable eating environment in public?
However, this family seemed to be a little different.
The three children still had the liveliness and curiosity that belonged to their age.
However, even though there were three children, the parent could manage them. The three children surrounded their mom and asked this and that but did so in a cute manner. It wasn’t irritating but was, in fact, quite interesting.
What the people in the restaurant felt most at ease about was that the three children’s mother seemed to be a very gentle person. No matter how cheeky a child was, they couldn’t help but become quiet and obedient when they stood next to her.
There was no squabbling, let alone crying. Aside from a few childish voices, there was no other change to their eating environment. Yes, such a feeling was good.
“Sit properly and eat your fruits. If you want to eat something, I can help you take it. You can also take it yourself. However, remember not to knock your chopsticks and spoons against the plates. That doesn’t sound pleasant at all. Also, don’t run or jump around. If you knock into someone or fall down yourself, both parties would feel pain. I just brought you here from the playground. You can’t do the things you did in the playground in a restaurant. Understand?”
Being active was part of a child’s nature. Qiao Nan couldn’t suppress their nature.
It was just that when they were outside, Qiao Nan would often remind the three children where they were and what kind of things they should do.
If the three children wanted to play to their hearts’ content in a playground or park, that was fine. Qiao Nan wouldn’t reprimand them.
Of course, if the three children insisted on doing the things they did in a playground in a restaurant, Qiao Nan would say that since their buttocks were itchy, she could hit them a few times to cure the itch.
Qiao Nan had already said her words so clearly. No matter how cheeky the three children were, would they not listen to her words?
Furthermore, the three children never went against Qiao Nan. Besides, they were almost starving to death when they came out of the playground. Compared to playing, what they needed more now was food. The three children nodded obediently, saying that they would not create trouble. Only then did Qiao Nan carry the children down from the stools one by one. Then, she accompanied them to the fruit buffet area and helped them with the things they wanted.
It wasn’t the first time that the three children had a meal under such circumstances. Without Qiao Nan teaching them, they also knew what they should do.
