“Hurry up, feed me another spoon.”

“I want meat, I want meat.”

Jiang Tianyang complained in dissatisfaction with his cheeks bulging while eating.

The sight in front of Yin Yin was not uncommon.

Jiang Jianguo didn’t go home often and only came back occasionally. He traveled a long distance from City H to City S and his body was naturally exhausted. He usually ate the food quickly and took a shower before going directly to bed.

The original owner was a language teacher for three sections. She had to prepare lessons and correct homework at night, so she was also very busy.

Jiang Tianyang doesn’t know to eat by himself, and it was Jiang Zhaodi who always feed him. Zhaodi can only eat after feeding Xiaobao.

Jiang Zhaodi didn’t complain. She knew that it was already hard for her parents to make money to support the two of them.

“Zhaodi, you go back to your chair and eat. Let your brother eat by himself.”

After that one sentence from Yin Yin, the whole dining table instantly fell into silence.

“But mom, brother, he can’t eat by himself.” Jiang Zhaodi hesitated.

Yin Yin looked at Xioabao and said with a gentle tone, “Xiaobao, you are already five years old. It’s time to learn to eat by yourself. You can’t depend on your sister to feed you all the time. Your sister also needs to eat.”

Jiang Tianyang immediately shook his head and pouted his mouth. “No, I want my sister to feed me.”

“No, you’re already five years old. Xiaoxuan next door can eat by himself at the age of three, and you are older than him. You should learn how to feed yourself from now on.”

“I don’t want to. If my sister won’t feed me, then I won’t eat.” Jiang Tianyang was accustomed to getting what he wanted. His temper flared up and he began to get aggressive. With a wave of his hand, he knocked the bowl in Jiang Zhaodi’s hand on the ground.

Yin Yin, who was originally speaking gently, became cold.

She said with a cold face, “Zhaodi, go back to your seat and eat your food.”

Jiang Zhaodi stuttered, “But brother…”

Yin Yin replied, “Our family is very poor and the daily food in our home is in a fixed amouy. The bowl of rice just now was your brother’s share. Since he knocked it over, his share of food is gone. He said he didn’t want to eat it, so let him not eat it.”

In the end, Jiang Zhaodi sat back on her seat and started to eat. Yin Yin noticed that she only ate vegetables and no meat at all like before. She picked up a few pieces of braised pork and ribs and put it in her bowl.

Looking at the meat in her bowl, Jiang Zhaodi was taken aback for a while. She came back to her senses and put the meat into her mouth. For some reason, she felt that the meat was more tasty, probably because her mother personally picked it up for her.

Her eyes became hot. She lowered her head and ate quietly.

On the other side, Jiang Tianyang was lying on the ground again and was acting like a baby.

“Good boy, dad will feed you.” When Jiang Jianguo saw his son crying pitifully, he became distressed. He immediately picked him up and coaxed him.

“Jiang Jianguo, eat your food. Leave him alone.” Yin Yin said lightly.

“Wife, there’s no need to do this. Xiaobao is still young.”

“Five years old, not too young. At this age, he should’ve learned how to eat by himself. Is it possible that he doesn’t want to learn to eat by himself, and let his sister feed him for the rest of his life? Don’t want to eat by himself? Don’t even think about it just because he’s still young.”

“But…”

Jiang Jianguo still wanted to open his mouth to say something, but Yin Yin shot him a cold look, and he fell silent instantly.

Jiang Tianyang, who initially thought that someone would come and coax him, stopped crying when he noticed that no one was paying attention to him. He couldn’t understand why his mother changed, and even his father didn’t come to him like before to coax him.

Jiang Tianyang knew from when he was still a little that as long as he cry, her parents would rush to him and coax him. And they would give him everything that he wanted.

Yet tonight, his parents and sister didn’t coax him even after the dinner ended.

Did mom and dad not love him anymore?

After dinner, Yin Yin asked Jiang Zhaodi to go back to her room to do her homework.

Back to the dining room, Xiaobao finally stopped crying and threw himself into his father’s arms using his two chubby legs. He said sadly: “Dad, Xiaobao is hungry.”
