Futuristic Chef Transmigrated As Mother Novel - Chapter 348

348 Eat More

Xiaoguo saw Zhuang Zhuang’s odd behavior and she thought for a moment. Then, she quickly walked towards the bed.

As soon as she lifted the bed curtains, she saw what they had done!

Earlier on, she had heard the sound of bottles collapsing. It turned out that the bottles were all on the bed. The bed was clean and tidy, but there was one colorful stain that stood out.

Xiaoguo narrowed her eyes. She had a plan in mind.

!!
Jiang Danhe and Li Shouji entered and were about to clean up when Xiaoguo stopped them.

Faced with their questions, Xiaoguo didn’t say anything. She just said that she would cook and told them not to touch anything.

Under their strange gazes, Xiaoguo hummed a tune and walked towards the kitchen.

—-

The two boys hid outside until noon. The cosmetics on their faces had already dried up when Jiang Danhe appeared.

Before the two boys could run, Jiang Danhe picked them up with one boy in each arm and walked back.

No matter how the two brats struggled, it was all in vain.

Initially, they were expecting to be greeted by a storm. Unexpectedly, they were greeted by a gentle breeze and warm sun. This should have been a happy situation, but neither of them could bring themselves to feel happy.

Xiaoguo gently scooped rice for the two of them and thoughtfully added food to their bowls. She was behaving like nothing had happened.

Zhuang Zhuang was pleasantly surprised.

He observed Xiaoguo’s expression carefully and wondered if she had noticed the stains on the bed. If she had, why didn’t she spank him?

Since she looked quite expressionless, that means that she hadn’t seen it!

Zhuang Zhuang was overjoyed. He really wanted to explain that he didn’t do it on purpose. The cosmetics all dropped when he lost his grip. He really didn’t do it on purpose.

However, Xiaoguo said in unison to the two of them, “Let’s eat first. Eat more.”

Xiaoyi really lived up to his nickname of being a dumbass. After sitting down and smelling the fragrance of food in the air, he had long forgotten that he was a sinner. He sniffed at the food twice. When Xiaoguo urged him to start eating for the second time, he couldn’t stop himself and really started eating. Halfway through, he even asked for more rice.

Apart from the sound of eating, there was no other sound at the dining table. Although Xiaoguo’s expression looked pretty normal, everyone except Xiaoyi had a bad feeling about this.

It was always calm before a storm.

Li Shouji looked at the brats with a smirk and thought to himself, “Eat more. You’ll suffer later.”

From time to time, red gauze would flutter around the dining table. Zhuang Zhuang’s heart was filled with anxiety.

At this moment, Xiaoguo suddenly placed a piece of meat in his bowl and said gently, “Eat more.”

“No, I need to lose weight.”

This was the first time Zhuang Zhuang had said such a thing. Then, he returned the piece of meat. The voice in his heart kept reminding him that it was not good to eat too much.

Xiaoguo raised her eyebrows and didn’t say anything else. This was her first time hearing Zhuang Zhuang talk about losing weight. It didn’t matter whether they ate up or not. In any case, they have to face the music eventually.

“I’ll eat it if you don’t!”

Xiaoyi looked at the meat on the plate and picked it up with his chopsticks. He stuffed it into his mouth and started chewing. Who cares? The most important thing was to eat his fill.

Zhuang Zhuang moved away from him in disgust, looking like he had nothing to do with him.

Xiaoyi was still grinning at Xiaoguo. He had no idea how terrible he looked, nor did he know how much hard work was waiting for them.

Jiang Danhe glanced at the two of them indifferently and shook his head to himself. There was nothing he could do even if he wanted to help. Good luck to the children.

“Are you full?”

“I’m full!”

Xiaoyi took the lead and replied. Zhuang Zhuang nudged him, hinting at him not to speak. However, Xiaoyi misunderstood and thought that he was asking him to say something on his behalf. “Oh, Zhuang Zhuang is full too!”

Zhuang Zhuang covered his forehead like an adult, looking like he was going to faint from exasperation.

“Very good! Let’s begin!”

Xiaoguo was very satisfied with Xiaoyi’s answer. She didn’t want to punish Xiaoyi at first, but his father, the emperor, had said that she should spend more time on the boy. The emperor had no worries about Xiaoyi being in her charge. Since his father had spoken, she had to follow his orders.

“Begin? Begin what?”

Xiaoyi did not understand what was going on. Then, he thought carefully about what he had to do after his meal. Suddenly, he thought of something. “Oh, it’s nap time!”

As he spoke, he yawned and said with teary eyes, “I’m indeed a little sleepy.”

With that, he tried to pull Zhuang Zhuang to take an afternoon nap, but the latter did not move at all. He started blinking frantically at him.

“What’s wrong? Are your eyes feeling uncomfortable?”

Xiaoguo looked down at Zhuang Zhuang with interest and asked in surprise, “Are your eyes feeling unwell?”

“Hehe, no, no…”

Zhuang Zhuang shook off the imperceptive Xiaoyi and stood up. Looking squarely at Xiaoguo, he said, “I’ll tidy up the room and wash the bedsheets. I’ll also supervise the cleaning up of our bodies.”

“Very good. Get on with it.”

Seeing that he knew exactly what to do, Xiaoguo was satisfied. She yawned and inadvertently lowered her head. When she saw the plates on the table, she pretended to look troubled and said, “Then these plates…”

“We’ll send them back!”

Zhuang Zhuang was very responsible. After making sure that Xiaoguo was not going to spank him, he became much more magnanimous. Since it was his fault, he had to bear the consequences.

“Very good. I’ll take my afternoon nap then. I’m so sleepy. I feel so sleepy after eating. Sigh…”

Li Shouji immediately reacted and pulled Jiang Danhe along. “That’s right, that’s right. Everyone should go back and take your afternoon nap, except for the two of you.”

As he spoke, he did not forget to tease the two unlucky brats who tried to intimidate him into playing with them. Seeing how listless they looked now, Li Shouji was simply overjoyed!

With that, the three of them went back to their rooms separately. Li Shouji returned to his room next door to take an afternoon nap, while Xiaoguo and Jiang Danhe returned to their bedroom. Not long after, Jiang Danhe brought out the bedsheets and threw them to the two little ones, along with two sets of clean clothes for them.

Xiaoyi was feeling sleepy from seeing everyone yawn. He started yawning drowsily.

After Jiang Danhe left, Xiaoyi put down the bed sheets and clothes, and started rubbing his eyes. He tugged at Zhuang Zhuang’s sleeve pitifully and said, “Zhuang Zhuang, I’m sleepy…”

“…” Zhuang Zhuang sighed. “I told you not to eat too much. You get sleepy when you’re stuffed.”

“I didn’t know that there are still so many jobs waiting for us…” Xiaoyi pouted and whined non-stop. When Zhuang Zhuang looked like he was about to hit him, he immediately got back to acting normal again. “Zhuang Zhuang, you know so much. You’re so knowledgeable. You’re a walking book…”

Xiaoyi rambled on for a long time, but Zhuang Zhuang only rolled his eyes at him. “It’s useless to say so much. You still have to do what you need to do.”

Xiaoyi snorted. He had buttered him up for nothing.

Zhuang Zhuang took the lead and made a simple plan. First, they would bring the plates back to the kitchen and get someone to boil water. He had to follow Xiaoguo’s instructions and not light any fire without the presence of an adult.

While the water was boiling, they could take down all the gauze in the room and return the fabric to their original spots.

Then, they must clean themselves up before washing the bedsheets and their soiled clothes. If they worked fast enough according to his plan, they should be done by dinner.

With a plan in place, Zhuang Zhuang rolled up his sleeves and got to work with the listless Xiaoyi.

After the two of them left with the plates, Xiaoguo and Jiang Danhe came out of the back room. Xiaoguo nudged Jiang Danhe proudly. “What do you think? I told you that the two of them would be fine.”

Jiang Danhe couldn’t help but feel impressed. He was so worried that the tasks would be too difficult for the two children. He didn’t expect to be slapped in the face so quickly. Not only did they complete the tasks, they did everything in the most systematic manner.

“Never underestimate children at any stage. They are far more capable than you can imagine.”
