Novel Full Chapter 85
I Brought You Breakfast (1)
Jiang Xiumei’s hands were deft and capable, and in just one day, she cleaned up the house nicely. Other than the objects that were unrepairable or too heavy to move, everything was placed where it belonged.
The old, dilapidated house had been completely renewed, becoming very warm and tidy.
From a distance, Jiang Xiaoman and Jiang Xing were able to see a lantern hanging before their home when they returned from the Yu family’s house.
It was a festive, red lantern, glowing orange in the dark. Most of the surrounding houses were unoccupied, and its orange light seemed like the only bright color between heaven and earth.
It looked warm and bright.
Jiang Xiumei bought and put up this lantern herself; its inside contained a light bulb.
Although the New Year’s atmosphere had gradually faded, Jiang Xiumei’s heart felt a little bit at a loss. When in an unfamiliar environment, she had to find something nostalgic to put her heart at ease.
This alley was small, old, and didn’t have many people. Afraid the children wouldn’t be able to find their way back home, Jiang Xiumei hung a lantern.
“Grandma!!!” Jiang Xiaoman stood under the lantern and looked at it for a long time. The more she looked at it, the more she liked the lantern, so she decided to draw something on it.
After thinking about it for a while, she knew what to draw.
“Grandma, I’m going to draw a pig on the lantern!”
This pig was, naturally, Mrs. Flower.
“It’s already late. Let your uncle take it down so you can draw on it tomorrow.” Jiang Xiumei picked Jiang Xiaoman up, and the three entered the house.
Jiang Xiumei already had dinner and had been keeping Jiang Xiaoman and Jiang Xing’s share of the food warm.
There was no refrigerator in the house, and the food might spoil if left overnight. With no other option but to eat the food, Jiang Xiaoman and Jiang Xing ate despite their bulging stomachs.
Jiang Xiaoman ate until her stomach bulged out. After a while, she clutched her stomach and screamed, “Haah! I’m so full.”
“It would be great if my belly were as big as Mrs. Flower’s,” Jiang Xiaoman said, “Then, I could eat a lot of delicious food without wasting it.”
The system listened to her and wanted to sneer.
If her belly was as big as Mrs. Flower’s, she would be clamoring to go on a diet.
Its host was very stinky. Dieting would be her top priority if she lost her beauty and cuteness.
“Host, generally speaking, a person’s intestines are around five to six times their height. It can already hold a lot of things.”
After listening to the system, Jiang Xiaoman patted her round belly in surprise. “But I only ate a little bit…”
She felt that she was already full even though she hadn’t eaten much yet.
“That’s not a little.” The system recounted the foods to her one by one, “There were the spicy chicken, roasted duck, sweet and sour fish, braised pork shoulders, lion’s head meatballs, spicy fried cabbage, steamed rice with bacon, and—”
“Alright, alright.” Jiang Xiaoman felt guilty and interrupted it.
Those sumptuous dishes were all eaten at Yu Qingshi’s house. The food there was so delicious, so Jiang Xiaoman couldn’t hold back and ate a lot.
Of course, Grandma’s cooking was also delicious, so she also ate a lot again after returning home.
Jiang Xiaoman patted her stomach in distress and said in a low voice, ” I have eaten enough for tomorrow’s share, so I won’t have to eat tomorrow…”
Haha, even if she ate yesterday, she’d still have to eat today.
The system poured cold water on her hopes. “If host continues to eat like this, you’ll become like Yu Qingshi’s Miaomiao.”
Did that mean she was fat?!?!
Jiang Xiaoman immediately became serious and said, “No, although I eat a lot, I am not fat at all. Grandma always says that I am too small and thin and not fat at all. She told me to eat more!”
Jiang Xiaoman didn’t want to be as fat as Miaomiao.
Miaomiao nearly didn’t fit through that hole.
