Ji Zhile pouted and said, “Okay, then I want to eat fried chicken wings and a large portion of French fries.”
Si Tian thought a lot. Now that Ji Zhile would think to earn the price difference, when he grows up and studies, will he also use his living expenses to earn the price difference?
Si Tian met such a roommate when she was studying. The living allowance provided by her parents was enough, but in order to save money, she ate the cheapest two vegetarian dishes every day and saved money to buy other things. In the long run, her body was the first to protest.
Si Tian asked, “Zhile, what do you want money for?”
Ji Zhile looked at her strangely: “You can do a lot. Money is very useful.”
Mom doesn’t even know the role of money, should he tell her?
Si Tian finally said: “Don’t think about skimping on food, you know?”
Ji Zhile nodded. He won’t. He thinks that eating is also very important.
After the food was ready, Si Tian went to bring it, but there was still one order of French fries that hadn’t been fried yet. The waiter said that they would call for the order later.
Both children liked to eat French fries, so they each ordered one portion. Now there was only one portion, so Ji Ningyi gave it to his younger brother.
Ji Zhile said generously, “Brother, you can eat with me.”
Before a portion of French fries was finished, the waiter called out the number in their hands. Ji Ningyi went to get it by himself. He was considered tall among children of the same age. As soon as he got it, he heard the conversation next to him.
“Xiao Shi, what do you want to eat?” A soft female voice asked.
An immature female voice rang out in a low voice: “Auntie, I don’t want to eat.”
“What’s the matter? Don’t children like fried chicken very much?”
The girl’s voice became even lower: “I will gain weight.”
It’s not like being coquettish in a soft voice, but it’s like telling a little secret that’s hard to tell.
“What are you afraid of? Children are only cute when they are chubby. If they are fatter, their health will be better. They will naturally lose weight when they grow up.”
Ji Ningyi turned his head curiously.
It just so happened that the girl’s aunt was also talking about him: “Look at all the kids who are around your age are eating French fries. They’re also delicious. They’re sour from tomatoes. You will like them the most. These are freshly baked French fries, so fragrant and delicious.”
Ji Ningyi looked at the two of them.
The girl’s aunt was wearing a mask, and her brows were lively. When she saw Ji Ningyi smiling at him, her eyes bent.
The little girl was wearing a school uniform, holding the adult’s hand, with her head slightly lowered, staring at the upper of the shoe.
Ji Ningyi took the initiative and asked: “Would you like to try a little?”
The little girl raised her head and caught Ji Ningyi’s gaze. She quickly retracted her head and held the hand of the adult next to her: “I don’t want to eat. Auntie, let’s go home.”
The voice was a little anxious as if she was about to cry.
“Okay, let’s go home.” The girl’s aunt said to Ji Ningyi, “Thank you, Kid.”
As soon as Ji Ningyi returned to his seat with the fries, Ji Zhile was nibbling fried chicken wings, with ketchup all over his mouth. His cheeks bulged from eating, not to mention how happy he was.
Seeing him, the tip of Ji Zhile’s nose twitched: “Wow, it smells so good. Brother, I want to eat your fries too. I gave them to you just now.”
Ji Ningyi felt that Ji Zhile’s generosity just now might be for the present, but he did not mind. He put the fries in the middle and said, “Eat it.”
Ji Zhile was afraid that others would snatch it, so he took one in one hand and then took another after eating. His both hands were never free. When Ji Ningyi saw this scene, he thought that Ji Zhile was not worried about gaining weight at all.
***
Ji Zhile ate a lot and was not hungry at all when he got home. However, the aunt cooked the pork ribs that he liked, so Ji Zhile reluctantly ate a small bowl of rice. Finally, he touched his round belly and felt that he could not eat anymore.
After the meal, Ji Zhile pestered Ji Jiangzhou and stayed by his side, like a good-tempered cat.
Ji Jiangzhou was flattered for a moment: “What’s wrong?”
Ji Zhile said: “I just want to follow Dad. I haven’t seen Dad for a day, I miss Dad.”
Ji Jiangzhou touched his son’s soft hair: “Then, do you want Dad to pick you up from school tomorrow?”
Ji Zhile caught a glimpse of Si Tian and Ji Ningyi leaving the living room from the corner of his eye. He immediately revealed his true nature and shook his head resolutely: “No, Mom picked me up from school, so you can’t come.”
Ji Jiangzhou:?
How could his son turn his face faster than turn the pages of a book?
