EBE Chapter 463 She is an amazing mother
Chapter 463 She is an amazing mother
February 77, 2 was New Year’s Eve.
Zhou Qing'an has to go on a mission and will not be able to bring his wife and children back this year.
On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhou Qingping and Zhong Jiawen took Zhong Qiaoen back to Jiangcheng to spend the New Year with Zhou Rong.
Zhong Xunci and Qiao Dongjing came back together this time. They wanted to thank Zhou Rong and also spend the New Year with the whole family.
From Zhou Qingping's reply, Zhou Rong already knew that Zhong Xunci and Qiao Dongjing would come to their home this year. After Nini finished her confinement and Xu Man and Xue Wanyi moved back to the garrison, she and Chen Zhan Ning cleaned the house carefully.
Three-year-old Zhou Jifan was also asked by Zhou Rong to do housework.
Sweeping the floor, wiping the table, picking vegetables and washing vegetables are all his responsibilities.
Although Zhou Rong likes him and dotes on him, he still has to learn many skills.
It can not only cultivate children's hands-on ability, so that they will not go hungry even when their parents are not around, but more importantly, it can cultivate their sense of responsibility and exercise their will.
As soon as Zhou Qingping and his friends came back, Zhou Jifan rushed over to show off his "achievements".
"Mom and Dad, I cleaned your room. Grandma and I made the bed together. Take a look. Is it clean?"
Zhou Qingping picked up Zhou Jifan and praised him, "It's very clean. Our Jifan is awesome. He can help grandma with housework!"
Zhou Jifan said cheerfully: "Grandma said that men who can do housework have the best prospects! I have learned a lot of housework and can even cook!"
Zhou Qingping: "Really? Then show us your skills later?"
Zhou Jifan: "No problem! You, mom, grandpa and grandma take a rest first. I'll call you when the meal is ready."
After Zhou Jifan finished speaking, he slid off Zhou Qingping's body and ran to help Chen Zhanning pick vegetables...
Qiao Dongjing watched Zhou Jifan picking vegetables in an orderly manner, and whispered to Zhong Xunci: "When this child followed me, he did nothing but ask to go out and play and eat candy. I didn't expect that after living with his grandmother for a year, he can actually do housework."
Zhong Xunci smiled and said, "My in-laws were able to raise Qingping so well. They must have their own way of educating children. She is an amazing mother."
Qiao Dongjing: "I have to learn from her."
Zhong Xunci: "You are also amazing. You have been the one who has taken care of our family all these years. Without you, Jiawen and I would not be able to concentrate on our research."
Qiao Dongjing: "That's all I can do. As your relative, I'm very proud to see you and Jiawen complete one project after another."
Zhong Xunci smiled, very happy that she had found a good and virtuous wife...
During this year, Zhou Rong fed Zhou Jifan well and often took him to exercise. He grew a lot taller and was already taller than the earthen stove, but he still couldn't cook by himself.
When Zhou Rong and Chen Zhan Ning were cooking, they would occasionally let him stand on a small stool, hold his hand, and teach him how to stir-fry.
In order to show off in front of his parents, Zhou Jifan asked to cook the dinner himself and didn't want anyone's help.
Chen Zhanning: "This pot is too big for you to stir-fry. When you grow up a little bit, I will stir-fry for you every day."
Zhou Jifan: "I promised Dad that I would cook for him tonight. I must keep my word."
Zhou Rong, who was stewing soup on a small coal stove, asked, "Do you really want to cook?"
Zhou Jifan: “Yeah!”
Zhou Rong: "What if it doesn't taste good?"
Zhou Jifan: "The dishes I cooked before were so delicious, and the dishes I cooked today will also be delicious, grandma, please let me cook?!"
Zhou Rong: "If the food you cook is not tasty, you have to eat it all yourself, how about that?"
Zhou Jifan: "Sure! I won't make it taste bad!"
Zhou Rong smiled faintly, took the soup pot off the small coal stove, put a double pot on it, took out a plate of bacon and some red cabbage moss: "Stir-fry a plate of bacon and cabbage moss."
Zhou Jifan looked back and forth between the dish and the pot for a few seconds. What was the first step?
Zhou Rong: "Do you need my help?"
Zhou Jifan inherited the Zhou family's face-saving personality. In order to get praise, he refused Zhou Rong's help: "No! I can do it myself."
As he said this, he poured the bacon and red cabbage into a pan without oil, and then stir-fried them vigorously. However, since he didn't control the strength well, some of the vegetables were flipped out of the pan and fell to the ground.
Zhou Jifan panicked for a moment, and pulled Zhou Rong to flatter him, "Grandma, these vegetables don't listen to me, help me teach them a lesson."
Zhou Rong: "Do you still want to cook for yourself?"
Zhou Jifan chuckled: "I'll fry with you, okay?"
Zhou Rong: "Okay, the vegetables you dropped on the ground were all grown by farmers with great effort, and now you have wasted them, so you need to be punished.
I am going to confiscate your iron rings, marbles, and slingshots for ten days. If you behave well during this period, I will return them to you after ten days. If you behave badly, you will keep them here and are not allowed to play with them anymore."
Zhou Jifan: "Ah?! I didn't mean it, can you not punish me?"
Zhou Rong: "Before cooking, I asked you if you wanted to help, but you refused and insisted on doing something you couldn't do.
We must be honest in life and have the courage to admit what we don't know. There is no shame in that. Learn what you don't know slowly so that others won't laugh at you.
This punishment is just a small lesson. Behave well in the future and grandma will reward you."
Zhou Jifan: "Okay."
Zhou Rong added a little oil to the pot, explained the cooking steps to Zhou Jifan in detail, and held his hand to stir-fry.
Qiao Dongjing was standing at the kitchen door. When she saw Zhou Jifan frying the vegetables on the ground, she wanted to come in to help. But when she saw Zhou Rong was disciplining the children, she quietly retreated.
During the meal, Zhou Jifan served food to Zhong Xunci, Qiao Dongjing, Zhou Qingping, and Zhong Jiawen in turn: "Grandpa, grandma, dad and mom, you have worked hard. This is what grandma and I cooked together. You can try it."
Zhong Xunci tasted the dish and praised it, "It's delicious. It's worthy of being cooked by our Ji Fan!"
Zhou Qingping: "Ji Fan is amazing. When your dad was your age, he couldn't do anything, but you can actually cook. Learn more from grandma in the future. She knows a lot of things."
Zhou Jifan: "I studied hard. My grandma said she would teach me everything she knew."
Zhong Jiawen: "Are you going to go back with us after the New Year?"
Zhou Jifan thought of the many delicious foods and toys he hadn't finished eating and playing with at his grandma's house, so he said, "I haven't learned all of grandma's skills yet. Can I stay a few more days?"
Zhong Jiawen: "Okay, you can continue to live with grandma, but you must be obedient and don't act naughty, understand?"
Zhou Jifan: "I'm very obedient. If you don't believe me, ask grandma."
Zhou Rong smiled and said, "Our Ji Fan is indeed very well behaved and is grandma's pride."
Zhou Jifan received the praise, smiled happily, and continued to pick up food for the people at the table. He knew that Zhou Rong didn't like ginger, so when he helped her pick up the food, he picked out the ginger on purpose and blew on it to avoid it getting burned before putting it in her bowl.
Such a heartwarming performance moved everyone present.
Qiao Dongjing originally wanted to take Zhou Jifan back with her on her return trip, but when she saw how good his relationship was with Zhou Rong, she gave up the idea.
This child may have a better future if he follows his grandmother...
