Chapter 33
There Can Only Be One Feeding Officer!
“How many times have I told you! Don’t eat so much chili, eating light is better for your health!” Luo Mu took the chance to teach Luo Feng a lesson to vent her anger.
Luo Feng was already prepared. He leaned on Ai Tingya and said, “Tingya ordered it.”
“I’m sorry, Auntie. I didn’t know you didn’t like spicy food.” Ai Tingya apologized innocently.
Mother Luo was like a mute cannon in this situation. It did not explode even after the fuse was burned.
She put on a smile and said, “Tingya, you like to eat spicy food? It’s good to eat spicy food. Girls who eat spicy food are forthright and the heat can expel moisture. Our family likes to eat spicy food, but Little Feng can’t take too much. He’s more prone to getting heaty. You have to keep an eye on him in the future and teach him a lesson if he doesn’t listen.”
“I see.” Ai Tingya smiled too. “I thought it was cold, so I ordered something spicy. The rest is very light.”
“You’re so thoughtful. Hurry up and eat.” Mother Luo picked a large piece of meat and placed it in Ai Tingya’s bowl.
The father and son heaved a sigh of relief at the same time. It seemed that they had escaped a calamity. Mother Luo’s anger had probably dissipated since Ai Tingya, the fire extinguisher, was around.
The dishes were served one after another. White oil lettuce tripe, assorted chowder, squirrel mandarin fish, bitter gourd eggs and a bowl of pork ribs soup. Ai Tingya ordered a table full of different tastes which Mother Luo praised endlessly.
“Tingya, eat more meat. Look at how thin you are.” Mother Luo couldn’t care less about herself and kept picking up meat for Ai Tingya.
“A balanced diet is the most important. Try the stewed vegetables, you’ll have both meat and vegetables.” Luo Feng also only cared about Ai Tingya.
At this moment, two pairs of chopsticks picked up a piece of fish at the same time.
“Mom, I want to give this piece of meat to Tingya.”
“What a coincidence. Mom thinks so too.”
Both mother and son wanted to enjoy the joy of feeding. Neither of them allowed the other to outshine the other. They picked up the meat at the same time and placed it in Ai Tingya’s bowl.
Ai Tingya had an obedient appearance and was filled with reverence for food. Her face was filled with a blissful smile as she ate. Those who fed her would naturally feel happiness and pride.
Luo Feng glanced at his mother. How could someone still want to snatch the position of a feeder? He was the only one who should feed Ai Tingya regardless of whether it was in the past or in the future!
Mother Luo had the same thought opposite her.
The mother and son secretly competed just like that.
“This pig liver is very delicious. There’s no smell at all. You can supplement iron intake with it!”
“The stir-fried vegetables are not bad. It was cooked very well. Tingya, eat more.”
“You can’t ignore protein either! You like both eggs and lean meat, right?”
“Fish is also rich in protein. It’s sweet and sour, but not greasy. Eat quickly!”
The two of them instantly became masters of nutrition. Ai Tingya did not even touch her chopsticks, and a small mountain was piled up in her bowl.
Luo Feng saw that there was no more space on the plate, so he picked up some meat and fed it to Ai Tingya directly. He didn’t believe that his mother could still compete with him like this.
“Tingya, eat this.”
Mother Luo took another bowl and slowly filled it with soup before handing it to Ai Tingya, not to be outdone.
Ai Tingya just sat there. Her mouth and hands were busy and she became the busiest person at the dining table.
“Auntie, you guys eat too. Don’t just give me food. My bowl can’t hold anymore.” Ai Tingya could only persuade the two of them like this, hoping that they would give her a chance to pick up her chopsticks.
Father Luo seemed like an outsider who had nothing to do with this while the three of them were engaged in a heated discussion. He was happy to have peace and quiet. It did not matter as long as he was not used as a target to vent his anger.
He reached out his chopsticks and realized that all the good meat on the table had been picked clean. There were only bean sprouts left in the chili boiled meat. The belly meat of the squirrel fish had been emptied, and even the tenderest vegetable was in Ai Tingya’s bowl.
“Hey, hey, hey, you two are going overboard. Xiao Ai can choose whatever she wants to eat. What if she doesn’t like the food you gave her?” Father Luo was “forced” to stand up and speak up for her.
One of them would starve to death while the other would bloat to death if they continued this farce.
“Mom, look at you. Ting Ya was so overwhelmed by your passion that she didn’t dare to move.” said Luo Feng.
“You picked all the vegetables for Tingya. Her body is so weak. She has to eat more meat!” Mother Luo said.
“Let Xiao Ai eat by herself. We’re family. She can eat whatever she likes.” Father Luo said.
Ai Tingya nodded subtly, expressing her agreement. The dishes in the bowl were enough for two meals. It was still a mystery if she could finish them or not.
Mother Luo took the opportunity to take her first bite seeing that most of the good dishes on the plate had been given to Tingya.
Luo Feng was already starving. He lowered his head and found out that Ai Tingya had transferred the meat from her bowl to his side. Her black eyes were filled with the words ‘Help me eat some’.
The family was happy and the atmosphere at the table was very harmonious. It was so harmonious that Mother Luo forgot her main purpose for coming here.
If this meal was finished just like that, they would be very happy other than Ai Tingya, who was stuffed to the brim.
At this moment, a fragrance blew in from outside.
Immediately after, a woman in bright green clothes walked in.
The room was filled with guests. The woman immediately saw Mother Luo and called out in a high-pitched voice. “Xiaomin, what brings you here today?”
Mother Luo shivered and put down her chopsticks as if she was facing a great enemy. She stood up like a peacock and smiled. “Chunhua, you’re back. I’m here to give you some business of course.”
“It’s been a long time. Your taste has improved.”
“No, you’re younger too. You’ve lost a few wrinkles at the corners of your eyes.”
The seemingly harmonious conversation was filled with gunpowder.
“Yo! Isn’t this Xiao Feng, right? It’s been a few years since we last met, and you’ve grown so big. Do you still remember Auntie Zhang? I bought you candy when you were young!” Zhang Chunhua said warmly.
She looked at Luo Feng’s handsome appearance and couldn’t help but stare at him.
“Hello Auntie Zhang.” Luo Feng greeted her obediently.
Ai Tingya put down her chopsticks and wondered if she should address her too.
Mother Luo’s main purpose for coming today was to show off her son. She was about to start praising Luo Feng seeing Zhang Chunhua taking the initiative to talk to him.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Chunhua suddenly took out her phone and said, “Aiya, it’s time to talk to my son on the phone. Little Min, wait for me for a while.”
After saying that, she took out the latest flip phone and made a call in front of Mother Luo.
Mother Luo sniffled. She knew that her best friend was going to start showing off her son, who was working overseas, again. She rolled her eyes in her heart.
Even though the two of them were about the same age, Mother Luo got married later than her peers, so much so that Zhang Chunhua’s son was already in elementary school while Luo Feng was still holding onto his milk bottle. It could be said that he fell behind by one step.
When Mother Luo was showing off her son’s handicrafts from kindergarten, Zhang Chunhua was already showing off her son’s English scores. When Mother Luo showed off her son’s middle school exam scores, Zhang Chunhua was showing off her son’s college acceptance letter.
Furthermore, Luo Feng’s grades in high school were mediocre, so Mother Luo had been holding back her anger.
She had specially come all the way here to eat today so that she could avenge her previous humiliation!
