Chapter 316: is it not good for a man to be a little rough?
"Mom, we're up. Are the drumsticks ready?"
After two naps, brother and sister woke up and climbed down from the bed, wearing small slippers, and went straight to the kitchen.
"It'll be ready soon." Li Haitang was busy in the kitchen, wearing an apron. Seeing that they were coming in, he stopped them, "An' an, Duoduo, don't come in. Play in the living room outside. Mom's frying chicken wings and drumsticks here. There's hot oil. Don't come over."
The siblings were obedient and stood outside. Duoduo asked, "Mom, where's dad?"
"I just found out that there's no ketchup at home. Dad drove to the supermarket to buy it. He'll be back soon. You can wait in the living room."
"Okay."
The brothers and sisters immediately turned around to play with building blocks by the sofa. This was something they were not tired of playing with. Every day, they piled up new tricks that they could not understand.
Li Haitang's drumsticks and wings had just come out of the pot when the car stalled outside. She put the food on the table and cooled it. When Jiang Chuheng came in with the tomato sauce, she said, "Chu heng, it's just fried. It's very hot. Don't eat it first. Cool it before you give it to them. I'll fry some more potato cakes."
"Well, two small ones for each. They can't eat much."
An' an got up from the pile of toys and sat down. He looked up and said, "Dad, I can eat a lot. I want to eat more and grow taller. I can only get first place in the next running race."
"I want to eat more too. I want to be number one too."
Kindergarten is a small competition where boys and girls are separated. The two brothers and sisters are very active in all kinds of extracurricular activities at school, especially the little girl Duoduo. She is quite physically strong. Running is always the first place, and she can easily get rid of the second place.
Jiang chuheng took off his shoes and sat down on the carpet to talk to the two of them. "Okay, eat more later. Dad just bought brisket and asked mom to make you stewed brisket with potatoes for dinner. Both of you need a bowl and a half of rice and more brisket."
"Dad, what is brisket?" The siblings were not ashamed to ask. An' an still raised his head, "Is it beef?"
"It's one of the beef. It's very delicious. Your mother likes it the most."
"Then we have to eat too. We have to eat a lot. We look as tall as mom." Duoduo got up and tiptoed up, as if to jump to Li Haitang's height.
An' an also sat down and expressed his disagreement, "Mom is not as tall as dad. I want to be as tall as dad."
Jiang Chuheng held his son across his legs, looked at his face that looked like him, pinched his little nose, and smiled gently, "You're a man. You have to be taller than your father."
"If I'm taller than dad, then I'm the tallest person in the family."
"Well, dad expects you to be the tallest in our family." Jiang Chuheng picked him up with one hand and his daughter with the other. He stood up easily, put on his slippers and walked towards the table.
When their drumsticks were almost finished, Li Haitang came out with a plate of fried potato cakes. He took the chopsticks and gave them to Jiang Chuheng, "It's been a long time since I cooked. This is a little rusty. One of them is a little burnt."
"It's okay. Give me the burnt ones. You and the children have a good meal." Jiang Chuheng didn't want his wife and children to eat badly. He put the slightly burnt ones into his own bowl and gave her the best one.
After the afternoon snack, the family of four went to the neighborhood to play and eat hand in hand. The villa they lived in had a beautiful environment and good air quality. There was an artificial lake in the middle of it. On weekends, parents would always take their children to play and fish here. Today, the couple also brought fishing rods to accompany their children to fish prawns.
"Dad, there are a lot of fish there. Why aren't they hooked?" Duoduo was an impatient man. When he saw many small fish swimming in the water, he couldn't catch her. He was so anxious that he jumped.
Jiang Chuheng pulled her fishing rod up and saw that the hook was empty. He smiled and said, "You didn't put any bait on it. Of course, the fish won't take the bait."
"Let it go." Duoduo was very courageous. She wasn't afraid of worms or earthworms. She had just caught an earthworm on her own hook.
"That's dropped. We need to re-bait it." Jiang Chuheng hooked her up with half an earthworm and threw the hook into the lake again. "Wait, the fish will move once it's hooked."
As soon as he finished speaking, his son, who was not far away, shouted with joy, "Mom, a fish is on the hook. Pull it quickly."
"No hurry, don't pull too fast. Slow down." Li Haitang had no hope that he could catch a fish, but he didn't expect that a fish would take the bait. He quickly got up and helped him take the fishing rod.
When Duoduo saw that his brother had caught a fish, he immediately threw away his fishing rod and quickly ran over to watch.
After mom pulled the fish up, An' an was very happy and loudly reported to dad, "Dad, I caught a big fish, longer than my hand."
Jiang chuheng smiled, "I'll make you some soup tonight."
Li Haitang smiled helplessly, took off the small fry, threw it into the small gauze net pocket beside him, took the bait and hung it again, and threw the hook into the middle of the lake.
"We're going to fish four and eat one each." An' an did not forget to be filial to his parents and take care of his sister.
"Sure, one for each." Li Haitang squatted down again. The little fish was only the size of her little thumb. It was pitifully small, not big enough for her to stuff her teeth.
Duoduo saw that her brother was so ambitious, she was anxious, and immediately ran back to her father's side, a pair of bright and god-like eyes staring at the buoy, as long as the slightest move, she immediately pulled up to check.
Duoduo, don't keep pulling. You scared the fish away. When the fish is hooked, daddy will tell you and you can pick it up again." Jiang Chuheng had to teach her patiently.
The little girl pointed at the buoy in the middle of the lake with a frown and looked puzzled, "But that buoy is moving. The fish is hooked."
"It's possible that the fish is eating earthworms and is not completely hooked. If you pull it, it will be scared away." Jiang Chuheng hugged her daughter's soft body on her lap and rubbed her bearded chin against her soft little face. "Don't worry. You have to calm down before you can catch a big fish."
"Dad, it's itchy. Your beard pricked my face." Her little fat hands pushed her father's face away, her little head still shaking to the side, keeping a half meter distance between them, and her pink and tender little mouth pouting to express her dissatisfaction.
Jiang chu's heart melted when he saw her baby daughter's cute appearance. He wanted to rub her into his body. Seeing that she seemed to reject the beard, he smiled and promised, "Daddy will shave off my baby Duoduo every day. I promise not to prick him, okay?"
"Okay."
"Duoduo, you haven't kissed your father today. Are you going to make it up to him now?" Jiang chuheng pointed to his cheek.
"Dad didn't shave." Duoduo touched his cheek.
Her daughter was too principled to be fooled in the future. Jiang Chuheng had to point to the side of her nose, "No kiss on the chin, kiss here."
Duoduo, on the other hand, leaned over to kiss him and taught him like an adult, "Dad, you have to remember to shave or mom won't kiss you."
Jiang Chuheng laughed helplessly, "Yes, dad remembered."
Hey, isn't it good for a man to be a little rough? Even his four-year-old daughter despised him. Could his wife really despise him?
