“Lastly, Xiaobao, no matter how angry you are, you can’t throw away the food. The food is bought after mom’s and dad’s painstaking effort, and is also grown by farmers after taking care of it for a long time. Many children don’t have enough to eat, so we can’t afford to waste any food. Do you understand?”

Yin Yin showed him the documentary video of “African Refugee Children” she downloaded just now.

“Look at them, they don’t have enough food to eat. Compared with them, Xiaobao is more lucky.”

Jiang Tianyang looked at the black and skinny children on the video, then at his own fat body, and nodded.

“Then does Xiaobao know what to do in the future?”

Jiang Tianyang scratched his head, thought of what words he should say, and whispered: “I should learn how to eat food by myself, and avoid wasting food.”

“What else?”

Jiang Tianyang racked his brain and said hesitantly, “I can’t snatch away my sister’s toys.”

“That’s right, then is Xiaobao going to apologize to sister later?”

Jiang Tianyang fell into a dilemma. Starting from when he was still a little, he was used to being coaxed and spoiled and had never tried to apologize to others.

But seeing his mother’s eyes and thinking of his flat stomach, Jiang Tianyang nodded his head.

“Xiaobao is so good and smart.” Yin Yin finally smiled, and stretched out her hand to rub the fat boy’s head. This chubby child is only five years old, not too late to be taught slowly.

“Then mom, can Xiaobao eat noodles now?”

“Yes.”

The child who was still sullen before immediately turned lively after he got an affirmative answer.

Yin Yin intended to cultivate the habit of eating by himself from now on. She put some noodles into a small bowl, and gave him a pair of chopsticks for him to eat by himself.

Because it was his first time to eat by himself, adding to that fact that he was eating noodles, Xioabao had a hard time eating the food. His face was covered with soup and some finely chopped noodles fell on the table.

Yin Yin didn’t blame him. It’s always like this when learning for the first time.

On the other side, Jiang Jianguo who had finished taking a shower, looked thoughtfully at his youngest son eating noodles on his own, then at his wife’s encouraging eyes.

After half an hour, Jiang Tianyang finally finished eating noodles after a series of stumbling.

Yin Yin drew a tissue for him and asked him to wipe his mouth. After that, she took him to the bathroom to wash his teeth and face before bathing him.

“Is there one thing Xiaobao hasn’t done yet?” Yin Yin asked.

Jiang Tianyang tilted his head and said, “Apologize to sister?”

“Yes.”

Jiang Tianyang hesitated, “Can I not go? Mom, I’m sleepy and want to sleep.”

“Xioabao is a man and a man has to keep his words. You promised to mom that you would apologize to your sister.”

Although Jiang Tianyang was only five years old, he played with other children in the kindergarten and knew the meaning of the word man by ear and eyes.

“Xiaobao is a man.” Jiang Tianyang firmly said.

Without waiting for Yin Yin’s instructions, Jiang Tianyang went to Jiang Zhaodi’s room with his two chubby legs, and knocked on the door. This is what Yin Yin taught him, he must knock on the door first before entering other people’s room.

Jiang Zhaodi opened the door and saw her fat and short brother outside the door.

“Xiaobao, what’s wrong?”

“Sister, I’m sorry. Xioabao shouldn’t have snatched your toys.”

Jiang Zhaodi was taken aback for a moment. For a second, she thought there was something wrong with her ear. Her younger brother was actually apologizing to her.

From when Xiaobao was born, she had gotten used to giving in to her brother in everything. She was even more used when her younger brother didn’t apologize to her after what he did to her, so she really didn’t care about it.

At the beginning, she was also wronged and felt that she was right. Later on, her mother scolded her, saying that she didn’t love her brother at all, that in the future she would asked her brother to support her after getting married, and that she would rely on him in the future. So what is wrong with letting her brother get what he wanted.
