This way you won’t suffer a loss

Author: Er Meow Go to bed early

This way you won’t suffer a loss

Lu Jianshe couldn't help but salivate when he looked at the rich variety of dishes on the menu.

God knows how long he has been hungry!

He couldn't read, but whenever he saw a dish that looked delicious in the picture, he would order it.

"This, this, and this, give me a copy of them all."

At the dinner table, the atmosphere was inexplicably awkward. Xu Nan and Lu Nanzhou looked at each other and both tacitly chose not to speak.

After a long time, the dishes arrived on the table, and the waiter had just brought the first dish to the table.

Xu Nan took the chopsticks out of the wrapping paper and saw the scene in front of him.

Lu Jiabao, the son of Lu Jianshe and Jia Lili, had been silent when Xu was at home, so Xu Nan didn't pay much attention to him.

At the age of seven, Lu Jiabao is already nearly 1.2 meters tall. He is not thin. Among normal children, he should be considered overweight.

Xu Nan visually estimated that the child weighed about 120 kilograms.

He probably disliked the fact that the chair he was sitting on was not high enough to reach the dishes on the table. At this moment, he was standing on the chair, grabbing the meat on the plate with his bare hands, and his mouth was full of oil.

Xu Nan was shocked.

The waiter was also shocked. She was holding the dishes on the tray, neither putting them on them nor putting them on them.

Seeing her dilly-dallying, Li Cuiqing said displeasedly:

"As a waiter, how do you serve customers?"

"What are you doing standing there? Hurry up and bring the food to the table. Didn't you see that my eldest grandson is starving?"

"If you keep stalling, believe it or not, I will complain to your boss and tell you to go home and farm!"

After hearing this, the waiter hurriedly put the dishes on the tray on the table and cast a look at Xu Nan asking for help.

Xu Nan glanced at Lu Nanzhou and saw that he was also frowning, so he cast an apologetic look at the waiter, indicating that she could leave.

Xu was really hungry. Every time the waiter brought a dish to the table, Lu Jiabao stretched out his hand to that dish.

When it came to the last dish of braised prawns, Lu Jiabao first grabbed them with his hands. Perhaps he thought it was not enough, so he also brought the plate to him.

Soon all six dishes were served to him.

Seeing this, Xu Nan silently put down his chopsticks, stretched out his hand and manually closed his mouth, which had been opened wide due to excessive shock.

If Lu Jiabao were a three-year-old child, Xu Nan might just think that he was ignorant.

But Lu Jiabao is seven years old this year, so this is purely an education issue.

She turned back to look at Lu Nanzhou and saw him frowning and staring at Lu Jiabao, so she touched him gently with her hand under the table.

Li Cuiqing and the second uncle of the Lu family seemed to be used to it and had no idea of ​​stopping it.

Jia Lili also put a piece of vegetable into Lu Jiabao's bowl.

As a result, Lu Jiabao didn't even look at it, he just grabbed the vegetables from the bowl and threw them out.

Xu Nan frowned fiercely, resisting the urge to hit someone, and silently thought in his heart, this naughty kid is not from my family, he is not from my family, so he must hold back.

Li Cuiqing looked at the vegetables on the table and glared at Jia Lili unhappily:

"What kind of green vegetables are there? Our baby doesn't eat green vegetables. It's the time when we are growing, so we can't starve my eldest grandson."

As he spoke, he picked up the vegetables that Lu Jiabao had thrown on the table and put them into his mouth.

Then he gave Lu Jiabao a big piece of meat.

Seeing this, Xu Nan touched his nose and looked at Lu Jiabao's chubby appearance. He thought that he was still hungry and thin, and he was almost fed into a fat pig.

At this time Lu Nanzhou spoke. He first disagreed with Li Cuiqing's point of view and said:

"Green vegetables are rich in dietary fiber. Eating more vegetables can promote digestion and is very beneficial to the gastrointestinal tract."

"Eating only meat without vegetables can easily lead to uneven nutrient absorption, indigestion, and obesity..."

Li Cuiqing stopped after hearing this and cursed:

"I think you are just afraid of spending money. You feel sorry for money after eating a few meat dishes from you? Don't tell me this nonsense."

"Look at how delicious my eldest grandson eats meat. Isn't this meat more nutritious than vegetables? He's so white and fat!"

Xu Nan laughed out loud after listening to Li Cuiqing's nonsense. He pointed at Lu Jiabao who was grabbing vegetables with his hands and asked Li Cuiqing:

"Then you also taught him the skill of grabbing vegetables with bare hands? Are you sure this doesn't need to be taken care of?"

Li Cuiqing looked at Lu Jiabao, who was grabbing vegetables with his hands, and he choked for a moment.

Of course this is not what she taught!

She had tried to take care of it before, but it was of no use. Fortunately, everyone eating at home was a family, and no one disliked anyone.

She knew it was not good to eat like this, but it was not Xu Nan's turn to say it.

She looked at Xu Nan and said harshly: "What's wrong? My eldest grandson doesn't suffer from food, do you care about it?"

After Jia Lili heard Xu Nan say "don't care", she also said:

"That's it. It doesn't hurt that this boy behaves vulgarly."

Then he said to Xu Nan in an experienced tone:

"You will know this in society. My son's teacher told me that no child in the entire kindergarten can rob him of food better than him."

"Such a child is popular in society and will not suffer easily!"

Jia Lili looked at her son with pride on her face, as if she was saying, "Look how awesome my son is."

After Xu Nan was silent for a long time, he whispered in a tone that only he could hear:

"Are you sure the kindergarten teacher is praising your son? Instead of asking you to go home and take care of your child?"

Forget it, Xu Nan no longer wants to try to save this family whose outlook is distorted.

She closed her eyes and asked Lu Nanzhou with a tired face: "Where will they stay tonight?"

There is only one room and one living room in the house, and Lu Nanzhou is still sleeping on the sofa, so there is not much space left. Even if you make a floor, you can't sleep in the house.

Lu Nanzhou rubbed the bridge of his nose, looked at the four people opposite who were enjoying their meal and said:

"We can't stay at home, so we have to let my grandma and my second uncle's family stay in the guest house for a few nights."



After returning home, Xu Nan went to the kitchen and simply made a bowl of noodles and handed them to Lu Nanzhou.

Lu Jiabao made them choke on several mouthfuls of rice.

Lu Nanzhou had to go to work soon, so Xu Nan asked him to eat first while he went to clean up the messy living room.

Then Xu Nan picked up the broom and swept the watermelon rind thrown on the ground into the bowl.

Then she heard Lu Nanzhou say:

"Mom called and said that she brought us dried fish dried at home, as well as fried peanuts, melon seeds and free-range eggs. She said she also made a gift for you."

Lu Nanzhou saw that Xu Nan was cleaning the house and it was not easy for him to sit there and eat, so he helped to clean it up together.

He suddenly remembered that his mother had brought something for him. When he saw a big box at the door, he went over and started digging through it.

But after searching for a long time, I still couldn't find it.

Seeing this, Xu Nan rolled his eyes, picked up the half-knocked melon seeds and peanuts on the coffee table in the living room, and said in a slow tone:

"Are these the melon seeds and peanuts you are talking about?"

Lu Nanzhou touched his nose a little embarrassed when he saw it. He actually didn't expect that things would turn out like this.

The second uncle and his family came unexpectedly. I received a call in the office today and heard that the second uncle and second aunt said they had arrived at the station.

He put down his work, went to the station to pick her up, and then hurried back to the hospital. He still had an operation to prepare for, but he saw such an embarrassing scene as soon as he got home.

He picked up the cardboard box and walked to Xu Nan. Inside, there were only a few eggs prepared by Mother Lu that had been broken into pieces.

The box was originally packed in a cardboard box and wrapped several layers of tape. Now the packaging has long been opened by Uncle Lu Nanzhou and the others.

Xu Nan looked inside and saw that there were only dried small fish and what Lu Nanzhou called "gifts" left in the box.

Xu Nan took out a bag that was wrapped several times with wrapping paper. After opening it, he found a very beautiful and exquisite dress inside.

Xu Nan looked at it in surprise, this must be the gift Lu's mother said she would give her.

Lu Nanzhou's mother used to be a female worker in a textile factory, specializing in making clothes. Later, the textile factory's business was sluggish and it went bankrupt, so Lu's mother had no choice but to be laid off.

The dress is exquisitely made, and the fabric used is not the fresh colors such as red and green that people like nowadays, but small floral flowers with very fresh colors.

Xu Nan liked it so much that she couldn't wait to run back to the bedroom with the dress in hand, ready to change into it.
