It was past six in the evening when Yu Shanshan and Yuan Long finally left the hotel. It was only because Shanshan risked her life to remind Yuan Long that he still had to pick up their chubby son. Their conscience finally allowed her to leave, or else she figured she wouldn’t be able to walk out of the hotel tonight.
It seemed that their chubby son was useful in critical moments, saving her mother’s life.
Once a man who had abstained for a long time indulged, it was really unbearable. Shanshan thought as she supported her nearly exhausted waist.
When the two arrived at the club, Shanshan saw their chubby son, who should have been eagerly waiting for his mom to pick him up, sitting leisurely in Feng Wei’s office, legs crossed, happily enjoying a coke in one hand and a chicken leg in the other, his chubby face covered in sauce and oil stains.
Shanshan finally understood one thing—no wonder their chubby son’s weight hadn’t decreased despite the intense daily exercise from boxing. It turned out he had a way to get food here. Look at how he enjoyed it and the pile of KFC in front of him. It would be strange if he could lose weight eating all that.
She had hoped that sending him to boxing would help him lose weight.
Shanshan felt anger rising in her chest as she scolded, “Pangpang, what are you doing?”
Chubby, who was happily eating, was suddenly startled by his mother’s appearance. He was scared into hiccupping and immediately dropped the coke and chicken leg, placing his hands behind his back, pretending he hadn’t done anything.
Shanshan sneered and took out a mirror from her bag, handing it to him. “Look at your face, covered in sauce and oil stains. Do you still have the nerve to pretend you haven’t eaten anything? Do you think your mother is stupid?”
Pangpang, seeing his own face in the mirror, cursed himself for forgetting to wipe his face. Seeing that he couldn’t deny it, he immediately smiled and hypocritically called out, “Mom~”
After calling out to his mom in a lingering manner, the little guy twisted his small body, opened his chubby arms, and pounced toward his mom, acting spoiled. “Mom, I’ve been waiting for you for so long, my tummy is hungry. Mom, I miss you so much~”
Seeing the chubby cat about to pounce on her, Shanshan quickly dodged, “I’m warning you, if you dare to get your oily face on me, mom will spank you!”
Pangpang immediately stopped in his tracks, not daring to act spoiled anymore, or else mom would really hit him.
Women, they can be ruthless!
Feng Wei, who was watching from outside, felt a bit guilty as he said to Yuan Long, “Boss, I couldn’t resist the little guy’s spoiled act. He said he was hungry, so I was afraid he”d starve, that’s why I bought him KFC.”
Actually, Shanshan had told him that the little guy was overweight and she hoped he could lose some weight. She didn’t want him to give the little guy high-calorie food. Normally, he was strict and didn’t let him eat anything, but today his sister-in-law came to pick him up late, and the little guy’s stomach was growling, blinking his big eyes and calling him hungry. He couldn’t resist the attack of the cute little one, so he ordered food for him, but he didn’t expect his sister-in-law to find out like this.
Yuan Long patted his shoulder, “It’s okay, not your fault, but Pangpang really needs to control his weight. Don’t give him such food next time.” He knew how cute the little guy could be when he acted spoiled. Even he would find it hard to resist and easily give in.
Feng Wei quickly promised not to buy high-calorie food for the little guy again.
While the two were talking, Dudu had been criticized by his mom and followed her out of the office listlessly. The little guy walked slowly, feeling hopeless at the thought of not being allowed to eat KFC anymore. He stared at his little feet, not looking at who was at the door.
Yuan Long, who was originally arranged by Shanshan to wait at the door to surprise the little guy, saw his son walk past him without even a glance. He thought the surprise was unsuccessful, so he walked over and hugged the little guy from behind.
Dudu was suddenly picked up and turned his head to see that it was his dad. His eyes lit up instantly. The feeling of listlessness disappeared instantly, and he grinned excitedly, hugging his dad’s neck, “Daddy, are you back to see Dudu?”
Yuan Long responded with a “Hmm,” wiping his little face with a tissue while asking, “Yes, Daddy is back to see Dudu. Is Dudu happy?”
“Happy!” Chubby nodded vigorously. The feeling of despair just now was completely gone. Hugging his dad’s neck, he chattered non-stop. His enthusiasm was overwhelming, completely forgetting about his mother for the moment.
Yuan Long bid farewell to Feng Wei, taking his wife and chubby son home.
Dudu was still clinging to his dad affectionately. When they reached the car, he didn’t want to get off his dad’s arms, wanting his dad to carry him.
Yuan Long said, “Daddy needs to drive, Dudy, be good and sit in the back, okay?”
Dudu shook his head, then pointed to Shanshan, “Mommy can drive, I want to sit in the back with Daddy and Er Bao.” The little guy still remembered that his mom didn’t let him eat KFC, feeling like he and his mom were not on the same side. He wanted to pull his dad to his side and let his mom be alone.
Shanshan sneered, “You’re even commanding your mom to be your driver now? Do I look like a driver to you? If you don’t behave, I’ll spank you, Pangpang!”
Seeing that his mom was not in a good mood, Chubby thought for a moment, opened his little backpack, and found the small wallet that his aunt, grandfather, and uncle usually gave him as pocket money. He cherished it very much.
The little guy carefully took out a one yuan coin from it and handed it to his mom, with an expression of “I really can’t do anything with you,” saying, “Here, I’ll give you the fare. Be good and drive, don’t make trouble.”
“Yu Shanshan looked at the coin in her hand, so angry that she wanted to start beating him immediately, “Am I only worth one coin? Little fatty, are you itching for a beating?”
Yuan Long turned his head and chuckled silently.
Dudu, seeing her mom dissatisfied, thought her mom was really greedy. With one coin, she could buy two lollipops!
But in order to win her dad over to her side, Dudu gritted his teeth and reluctantly took out a coin from his small wallet, with an expression that said, ‘this is really all I have.” “Can I add one more coin? The bus uncle’s bus is so big, and it only costs two coins each time. Your car is so small, two coins are already a lot!”
Yuan Long was completely amused by this little treasure and couldn’t help but chuckle.
However, Shanshan was so angry that her hair was about to stand on end. This little fatty actually compared her car to a bus. Is this even a concept?
Seeing the mother and son about to argue over the “fare”, Yuan Long had to step in and mediate, saying to Dudu in his arms, “Dudu, you’re a young man, young men shouldn’t be stingy with girls. Give your mom a little more fare, driving is hard work for her too.”
Dudu listened to his dad’s advice, hesitated for a moment, and then timidly took out another coin from his wallet. With a face that seemed to say, ‘there really can’t be more,” he handed it to Shanshan. “Mom, there really can’t be more.”
Yuan Long suppressed his laughter and cleared his throat, then persuaded Shanshan, “Alright, just take it. Can you drive us for once?”
Shanshan looked at the ten-dollar bill and twitched her mouth. She wondered whose stingy nature the chubby son inherited. Yuan Long wasn’t stingy, and she didn’t consider herself stingy either. Could it be a genetic mutation?
If this little guy is stingy with girls in the future, which girl would want to deal with him? Is there any hope for him?
Just as she was pondering whether her chubby son would end up being alone because of his stinginess, her phone vibrated. She took it out and found that Yuan Long had sent her a red envelope, with the words: “For the most beautiful driver master.”
Shanshan couldn’t wait to open the red envelope and found a red envelope of 1314 yuan, instantly feeling happy. See, being a father is more promising than being a son. You can tell just from the red envelope.
At that moment, Shanshan decided to be generous and not argue with her chubby son. She accepted the twelve dollars from her son and generously said, “Well, I’ll reluctantly be the driver for you two.”
Dudu looked at the twelve dollars his mom put in her bag, touched his heart, and cried to his dad, “Dad, riding mom’s car is really expensive.”
Yuan Long nodded with a suppressed smile and comforted him, “Next time, you can ride mom’s car a few more times, become a member of mom’s club, and then let mom give you a discount. That way, it’ll be cheaper.”
Dudu thought it was a good idea and nodded, whispering, “I’ll discuss it with mom next time.”
Yuan Long nodded seriously and hugged the little guy into the back seat, letting the Er Bao sit in the passenger seat.
Once the car started moving, Dudu quickly forgot about the pain of the twelve dollars and started to complain to his dad again. He leaned over to his dad’s ear and whispered, “Dad, mom is so mean. When you’re not home, she bullies me.”
“Oh?” Yuan Long pretended to be interested and asked, “How does mom bully you? Tell dad.”
Dudu cautiously glanced at his mom, seeing that she seemed not to notice his side, and whispered in his dad’s ear, “Mom doesn’t let me drink cola, or eat KFC, and she doesn’t let me eat pudding, cupcakes, or egg tarts. She only lets me eat regular food, and she won’t even let me eat meat, just a little bit.”
The little guy gestured with his fingers to indicate just how little he could eat. He even sniffed, feeling aggrieved. “If I eat too much, mom will beat me. My butt has been beaten swollen by her. I think mom is really violent.”
As he spoke, the little guy felt so wronged, thinking he was really pitiful.
Of course, Yuan Long knew that Shanshan had recently been forcibly controlling the little guy’s diet, aiming to control his weight. She had discussed this with him secretly before, and not letting him eat those things was his idea.
How could junk food be eaten casually? Not only does it lack nutrition, but it also makes you fat, which is not good for your health. If he had been around the mother and son for the past few years, he would have strictly controlled his diet from the moment Dudu started eating. Now it’s a bit late to try to control it again. The little guy’s weight is already over the limit, and he’s used to eating snacks. Changing it suddenly is a huge challenge for him.
Now being reported by his chubby son like this, Yuan Long felt a little guilty. He didn’t dare to say it was his idea, so he persuaded the little guy, “Mom is doing it for your own good. Look at how fat mom used to be, it was because of eating junk food. Then mom realized the harm of junk food, and after quitting junk food, she had to exercise painfully every day to become thin and beautiful. It’s so hard. If you become fat in the future, you’ll have to work as hard as mom.”
Seeing his son thinking about it, Yuan Long continued, “But as long as you stop eating junk food from now on, you won’t get fat anymore. You won’t need to lose weight in the future, and you’ll be handsome and popular.”
Dudu bit his finger, weighed the pros and cons between becoming fat and giving up junk food, and after thinking about it several times, he thought it wasn’t so bad to become fat. After all, he’s very cute now and quite popular. But giving up junk food isn’t that great; life will lose its fun.
So he hesitated and said, “Dad, actually… I think I’m cute when I’m fat, and everyone likes me.”
Yuan Long: ……..
Shanshan, who was secretly listening in, laughed silently: Hahaha……..
Yuan Long thought he had said it quite well, at least he thought the little guy would be persuaded and voluntarily realize the harm of eating junk food. He didn’t expect the little guy to say such a thing after all this time.
Are children nowadays so hard to persuade? Yuan Long wondered if Shanshan hadn’t explained reason to the chubby boy. Didn’t she say she”d done everything she could and couldn’t resist the deep love of a foodie for delicious food?
She used to be a foodie herself, and she understood the obsession of a foodie with delicious food.
So, reasoning with a foodie is useless, it’s better to directly suppress with violence.
When they arrived home, Aunt Lian saw them coming back and hurriedly said, “Dinner is ready, just waiting for you all. Come and eat.”
Shanshan waved her hand, smiling, “Aunt Lian, you know me, I’m still on a diet and can’t eat. I’ll go upstairs first.”
Aunt Lian scolded, “You child, you’ve lost enough weight already. Look how slim you are now, why are you still dieting?”
Shanshan hugged her arm and shook it, “Aunt Lian, nowadays girls dare not weigh over a hundred pounds, let alone me who still has to dance. Girls who dance can’t weigh over a hundred pounds.”
Aunt Lian said helplessly, “Alright, I don’t understand the thoughts of you young girls. Just don’t starve yourself.”
“Aunt Lian, don’t worry, I’m fine.- After saying that, Shanshan walked to the dining table, greeted her grandfather, and then picked up the chubby boy who had climbed onto the dining table and went upstairs.
The chubby boy had been ready to eat, but he was taken away by his mom, waving his limbs, “Mom, let me down, I haven’t eaten dinner yet!”
Shanshan continued to walk expressionlessly, “You ate two hamburgers, two chicken legs, a pair of spicy wings, a serving of fries, plus a cola at the club just now. Now you tell me you haven’t eaten dinner yet?”
Dudu retorted loudly, ‘that’s not dinner, my tummy hasn’t been filled yet.”
Shanshan chuckled at him. If she let him eat until he’s full, what would be left? She simply ignored his struggles, carried him into the room, and locked the door firmly, determined not to give him the chance to go out and find food.
The chubby boy was so anxious that he wished he could pass through walls.
Seeing the little guy anxiously spinning on the ground, Shanshan kindly handed him a cucumber, “Alright, have a cucumber. It’s delicious.”
Dudu didn’t believe it at all. Cucumbers were not delicious at all, without meat and rice. The little guy turned his back, hugged the Er bao, and fell asleep on the Er bao’s dog bed, determined not to talk to his mom anymore.
Shanshan followed suit, also determined not to soften.
Downstairs, Grandpa frowned slightly, “Why don’t you let him eat dinner? How can a child grow without eating?”
Yuan Long picked up a dish for him and said, “Grandpa, he just ate a bunch of KFC at the club, his belly is round. We can’t let him eat anymore.”
Grandpa felt sorry, “He’s just a child, it’s okay to eat a little more. Why are you so strict with him?”
Yuan Long sighed, “Grandpa, Dudu’s weight is already seriously over the limit. He has a big appetite, and if he keeps eating like this, he’ll grow into a fatty.”
Grandpa couldn’t bear it, “Children are supposed to be chubby, they’ll grow out of it. Don’t let him starve.”
Yuan Long finally realized how much Grandpa spoiled Dudu, and with Aunt Lian spoiling him too, as well as his aunt and uncle, if this continued, Dudu would be spoiled. Many bad habits are not easy to change, just take the matter of losing weight for Dudu, it’s really difficult.
Yuan Long suppressed his thoughts and decided to persuade Grandpa in a different way, “Grandpa, don’t you want Dudu to inherit the Yuan family and continue serving in the army? If he becomes fat, the army won’t want him.”
After hearing this, Grandpa, who hoped his great-grandson would become an excellent soldier, fell silent.
Yuan Long saw this and knew that Grandpa was hesitating, so he took the opportunity to explain, “Grandpa, from now on, besides the main meals, don’t prepare snacks for Dudu to take with him, and don’t give him extra snacks as dessert. Three meals a day are enough for him to get the nutrition he needs.”
Although Grandpa agreed, Yuan Long was still not very optimistic. The elders in the family are always not tough enough, they love Dudu too much, and they are afraid that if Dudu cries and begs, they will soften, and then they won’t know if he secretly gives Dudu snacks. The only ones in the family who can be tough on Dudu are him and Shanshan.
It seems that they have to do it themselves when it comes to Dudu losing weight.
Author’s Note: I have a little niece who’s only in third grade but already weighs 100 pounds. She eats a lot and is used to it. Now even if we ask her to eat less, she can’t . She’s gaining weight rapidly, and our whole family is worried about her. Her parents regret it, saying they should have controlled her weight when she was overweight, and now they can’t control it because she’ll buy snacks herself after school if we don’t let her eat them. This tells us that children shouldn’t be allowed to become overweight. Nowadays, many Chinese teenagers are overweight.
But don’t worry, our little Dudu will be a super handsome guy in the future.
