Considering Dudu’s recent excellent attitude towards dieting, his grandparents were very pleased and decided to reward him, to encourage him to continue his efforts. So, on Friday night, Yuan Long drove the mother and son hundreds of miles to the city to have dinner.
Upon hearing they could go out to eat delicious food, Dudu’s excitement was aroused. He immediately raised his hand and enthusiastically suggested, “Mom, Dad, let’s go eat hot pot!”
The chubby boy loved hot pot very much.
Yu Shanshan chuckled inwardly; hot pot had high calories. If he ate it tonight, all the effort he had put into losing weight over the past few days would be wasted. So, they definitely couldn’t eat hot pot.
But at this moment, she couldn’t immediately refute the little guy, or else he would definitely protest.
So she gave Yuan Long a look, then found a Sichuan-style boiled fish restaurant on her phone to show him.
Eating fish at night was not easy to gain weight. It was much better than eating hot pot and was suitable for the chubby boy to lose weight.
After seeing it, Yuan Long understood her train of thought, smiled, and quietly started the car.
Dudu didn’t know he couldn’t eat hot pot tonight. He sat in the back seat, still happy, and even showed a happy smile. He thought to himself: It’s so good to have Donut around. Not only can I eat delicious snacks, but my parents also reward me. It seems that I should be nicer to Donut in the future, reciprocity is important.
Dudu couldn’t help but think about how to be nice to Tiantian, but the only way he could think of was to give her lots of delicious treats. But he didn’t have any delicious treats to give to others, so how could he give them to her?
This approach wouldn’t work, so Dudu thought of other ways. After thinking for a while, he suddenly remembered that many boys liked to pull Tiantian’s braids, causing her pain and tears every time.
Yes, he could be Tiantian’s bodyguard. He would protect her and drive away those boys who liked to pull her braids. That way, they wouldn’t dare to bully Tiantian anymore.
He was very capable, and with him as a bodyguard, Tiantian would definitely be safe.
Feeling proud of this idea, Dudu was satisfied with his cleverness.
However, his good mood disappeared as soon as they got off the car. Because the restaurant they went into was not a hot pot restaurant!
The little guy stopped in his tracks, looking at his parents with a heartbroken expression, “Weren’t we going to eat hot pot?”
Yu Shanshan immediately replied, “Mom just checked, but all the hot pot restaurants are full, so we can’t eat there. But this restaurant is also very delicious, even better than hot pot. You’ll see once you try it.”
Hearing his mom’s words, Dudu’s sadness was slightly alleviated. With the attitude of trying to see if it was better than hot pot, he obediently followed his parents into the Sichuan-style boiled fish restaurant.
Fortunately, although this restaurant was very light in taste, the fish was still quite delicious. At least the little guy was quite satisfied, finally forgetting about the hot pot he had been longing for in the food.
Yu Shanshan was now exactly 100 pounds. Before, she wouldn’t eat anything except eggs and cucumbers, so she lost weight quickly. But now she had to gradually start eating some food, like fruits, fish, and beef, to let her body slowly adapt to eating again. Then slowly, she would resume her normal diet.
Although this would slow down the speed of weight loss, it wouldn’t cause rebound later on. And she only had ten pounds of fat left to lose, so it didn’t matter if it was a bit slower.
So tonight, Yu Shanshan could eat the fish too. Although she didn’t eat much, just one or two bites, it was still a very happy thing for her.
She was truly satisfied.
Dudu was also very satisfied with his meal, with his round belly, holding his mom’s left hand and his dad’s right hand, the family of three happily returned home.
However, they encountered an unexpected guest as soon as they went out.
Fu Mingyue suddenly appeared out of nowhere, looking straight at Yuan Long with a sad and distressed expression in her eyes.
Yu Shanshan immediately became alert, stepping forward to block Yuan Long, glaring at her and asking, “What do you want?”
But Fu Mingyue ignored her, still looking at Yuan Long with teary eyes, choked up and asked, “Brother, I admit I haven’t disturbed you. I just want to work quietly here. Why do you treat me like this?”
Yu Shanshan was puzzled, not understanding what she was talking about. Could it be that something happened that she didn’t know about?
Yuan Long’s face remained expressionless, “You’re not suitable to be here. It’s better for you to go elsewhere.”
“How do you know it’s better for me to go elsewhere?!” Fu Mingyue smiled bitterly, shaking her head. “I just love the military camp, I want to stay here and work quietly. This has nothing to do with you. Why do you have the right to have Grandpa transfer me from here?”
Yuan Long’s tone remained indifferent, “This is Grandpa’s decision, and mine too. If you’re not satisfied, you can talk to Grandpa.”
Fu Mingyue couldn’t help but shed tears at last, speaking in pain, “You know Grandpa won’t help me… You’re treating me so unfairly. Why do you have the right to decide my job? This is my freedom…”
Yuan Long pursed his lips, picked up the dumbfounded Dudu, held Yu Shanshan’s hand, and continued to walk around her without looking back.
After walking a few steps, Yu Shanshan heard the woman’s heartbreaking sobbing from behind, unable to help but turn her head to look at Yuan Long, asking, “Did Grandpa transfer her from the unit here?”
Yuan Long gave a “Hmm” in response.
Oh, no wonder Fu Mingyue was so sad. It turned out that after finally finding a way to get here, she was forcibly transferred away again in just a few months. It was indeed pitiful.
But Yu Shanshan didn’t sympathize. For a woman who coveted her man, she didn’t want to see her working with her man every day, even if nothing would happen. But she had intended to force herself not to care about Fu Mingyue’s existence anymore, but unexpectedly, Grandpa directly intervened and transferred her away.This is simply cutting off the water source!
Grandpa did a great job!
Because of this news, Yu Shanshan was exceptionally excited tonight. She even let Yuan Long, who was overwhelmed by her excitement, toss her around three times without protesting, just to satisfy him. Finally, she could consider him fed.
Although the consequence was that the next day she woke up almost at noon, and her whole body felt like it had been run over by a truck.
However, she still endured the discomfort and got up to exercise. Since she had persisted, she had to keep on persisting. Giving up halfway would be disrespectful to her previous efforts. After all, she still had ten pounds of fat to lose.
Yu Shanshan continued training until evening before finishing. She took a shower in the bathroom, changed into clean clothes, checked the time, and then walked to the kindergarten to pick up Dudu from school as usual.
On the way, she happened to meet Aunt Li, the nanny from General Yan’s family, who usually cooked for both grandpa and granddaughter and took care of Tiantian at the same time.
Because Tiantian and Dudu were very close, the two little ones asked their parents to come pick them up half an hour later after school every day so they could play together for a while. Therefore, the latest to pick up the children every day were Yu Shanshan and Aunt Li. After a few days, the two became acquainted.
When Aunt Li saw her, she smiled and said, “Xiao Yu, let’s go pick up the kids together.”
Naturally, when parents were together, the topic of conversation was about the children. Aunt Li had recently taken a liking to Dudu, so when she saw Yu Shanshan, she couldn’t help but praise him, “Xiao Yu, your Dudu is really likable. After playing with him, my Tiantian has become much more sensible.”
Being praised by other parents in front of her made Yu Shanshan extremely excited and proud. Her chubby son was indeed excellent! Look, he had only been in kindergarten for a few days, and other parents were already praising him.
She made a modest expression and waved her hand, saying, “He’s not that good. Your Tiantian is already sensible. My son is still naughty. Sometimes, I can’t control him.”
Aunt Li immediately chimed in, “Boys are always supposed to be lively. It’s not good to be as quiet and well-behaved as girls. Look at some boys nowadays, they put on makeup thicker than girls. I don’t know what they’re thinking. It’s boys like Dudu, who are lively, cheerful, and sensible, that are likable.”
Yu Shanshan thought Aunt Li was really good at chatting. She made people feel happy. She had never felt so good about her chubby son before.
Following the principle of reciprocity, Yu Shanshan felt that she should also praise Aunt Li’s child. So she said, “Tiantian is also likable, obedient, cute, and so beautiful. Having such a child is really worry-free.”
Aunt Li was indeed very happy to be praised and said, “Tiantian is indeed very obedient. I take care of her very easily. The only thing that’s not good is that she doesn’t like to eat. But that’s all in the past. Since your Dudu started going to kindergarten, Tiantian’s bad habit of not eating has changed. Both her grandpa and I are very happy.”
Yu Shanshan couldn’t help but feel surprised. Her chubby Dudu could make other children start eating? She didn’t know about this.
She asked, “How did Tiantian start liking to eat? Is it because my Dudu persuaded her—oh, no, reasoned with her?” That little guy was quite persuasive sometimes, and she often found herself persuaded by him.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Li shook her head, “No, it’s not because of that. It’s because your Dudu eats a lot. I heard that he can eat two or three servings of food at lunchtime at kindergarten. Seeing him eat so deliciously, other children follow suit. It saves the teachers a lot of trouble. Even my Tiantian has become more enthusiastic about eating. Before, she could only eat half of her lunch at most, but now she can finish the whole thing. I feel like Tiantian has grown taller recently.”
Yu Shanshan: …. So it’s because the chubby boy can eat?
She hadn’t expected this little guy to eat two or three servings of food at lunch at kindergarten. No wonder he wasn’t hungry when he came home for dinner.
Yu Shanshan gritted her teeth, feeling deceived. They thought the little guy had a good sense of weight loss recently. As a result, their consolation and the reward for the hot pot last night were all in vain!
Aunt Li didn’t notice Yu Shanshan’s gnashing of teeth and continued talking, “Tiantian not only eats more lately, but she also eats more snacks. Before, when I gave her a bag of snacks, she couldn’t finish it for many days. But recently, she’s had a big appetite and finishes the snacks in her backpack every day. When she comes home at night, she asks me to refill her bag of snacks. Honestly, I was shocked by her big appetite.”
Snacks? Sitting together? Being delayed for half an hour to pick them up?
Suddenly, something flashed through Yu Shanshan’s mind, and her heart skipped a beat.
Could it be as she thought…
She trembled and asked, “Did Tiantian really eat a whole bag of snacks? Every day?”
Aunt Li nodded, “I also feel like Tiantian has been eating a lot lately. I don’t know how she can fit a whole bag of snacks into her little belly. Although we all hope she can eat a bit more, eating so many snacks isn’t good for her health. It seems that we should give her less in the future.”
Yu Shanshan: I think I know a big eater. He can eat a whole bag of snacks.
Feeling a bit dizzy, Yu Shanshan didn’t have the mood to listen to Aunt Li anymore. She hurried to the kindergarten and checked her watch. She was ten minutes earlier than usual when picking up Dudu.
Great, there was a chance to catch them red-handed.
So she grabbed Aunt Li and gestured for her to wait, “Aunt Li, let’s not go in right now.”
Aunt Li was puzzled, “What’s wrong?”
Yu Shanshan smiled wryly, her expression was difficult to describe, “Aunt Li, you’ll see in a moment.”
Although Aunt Li was puzzled, she followed Yu Shanshan quietly. They stood outside the classroom window and observed the two little ones from inside the classroom.
At that time, there were only the two of them left in the classroom, and the two children had no idea that their parents had already arrived and were sneakily hiding, spying on them.
They were lying together as usual, heads close together, feasting on a pile of snacks.
Of course, most of it was Dudu eating, while Sweet’s stomach capacity was limited and she couldn’t eat anymore, patiently waiting for Dudu to finish all the snacks.
Aunt Li, who saw this scene, said, “I told you my Tiantian doesn’t eat that much, turns out someone helped her eat.”
Aunt Li looked at Yu Shanshan, equally at a loss for words.
Yu Shanshan lifted the corner of her mouth, not knowing what to say to Aunt Li, so she just thought of eighteen ways to beat the chubby kid in her heart.
It seemed like this guy was itching for a beating and needed one.
At this moment, Dudu, who was completely unaware, finally finished a bag of snacks smoothly. He burped like usual, then very alertly wiped his mouth and took out a delicate little mirror from his backpack, carefully examining himself. After making sure there were no food residues on his face, he calmly put the mirror back into his bag.
Alright, now he didn’t have to worry about his mom finding out he was sneaking snacks.
Yu Shanshan, who saw this scene, was about to explode with anger. No wonder this kid suddenly asked her for a little makeup mirror a few days ago. She originally thought this straight boy was starting to care about his appearance, but it turned out he wanted to make sure he wasn’t caught while sneaking snacks!
After checking the mirror, Dudu threw the empty snack bags into the classroom trash can, then took Sweet’s hand and earnestly said, “Tantian, let me tell you, I’m a man who never takes advantage of women. Since I ate your snacks, I have to treat you well, but I don’t have any snacks to give you because my mom doesn’t buy me any. So I’ve decided to be your bodyguard from now on, to protect you from being bullied. What do you think?”
After hearing this, Tiantian nodded happily without hesitation, “Great, Dudu, you’re awesome.”
Dudu suddenly felt extremely proud, feeling particularly tall.
Aunt Li immediately gave Yu Shanshan a more indescribable look, wondering why she was still fooling around with the little girl?
Yu Shanshan felt embarrassed, unable to meet Aunt Li’s eyes directly. She felt guilty. Her chubby son not only cheated the little girl out of her snacks, but also fooled her into becoming his bodyguard. I think the one who bullies her the most is you, grabbing her snacks every day!
“Dudu’s mom, Aunt Li, why don’t you come in?” The teacher who had just sent the children off came back and saw them by the window, so she asked.
However, this sentence was like a thunderbolt, instantly stunning a certain chubby boy in the classroom.
Dudu’s eyes shot towards the window, and when he saw the figures of Yu Shanshan and Aunt Li, his eyes widened in disbelief, and the next moment, he burped loudly.
Oh no……..
These two words were the only thoughts crossing his mind at the moment.
