MDMP Chapter 5.2

The food was quickly served.

The staple food was steamed buns bought from the canteen. There were also three dishes on the table: ribs and corn soup, braised tofu, and stir-fried shredded potatoes.

Zhao Suisui held the chopsticks in her little hands, raised her arms, and picked up a chopstick of braised tofu with difficulty.

The braised tofu looked good. Zhao Suisui mustered up the courage to take a bite and found that it tasted pretty good.

It seemed that her mother’s craftsmanship was pretty good!

Zhao Suisui’s eyes lit up, and she said happily: “Mom, did you make this tofu? It’s delicious!”

Feng He smiled, served a bowl of soup each to her and Zhao Jingcheng, and said, “Your Dad made it.”

Zhao Suisui: “…”

Zhao Haoyang on the side pretended to cough, waiting for his daughter to praise him.

However, Zhao Suisui ignored him, looked at the soup in the bowl, and asked expectantly: “Mom, did you make this soup?”

Zhao Haoyang: “???”

Didn’t he deserve a compliment?

“Your Dad did this too.” Feng He replied.

“Then, this potato shreds…” Zhao Suisui began to feel a little tricky.

“I fried this.” Feng He finally nodded, “Want to try it?”

Zhao Suisui nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. Feng He picked up a chopstick and put it into her bowl.

Zhao Suisui held the chopsticks with her short hands and took a bite. Then, she chewed it and swallowed it with great difficulty.

Wow! It’s so salty. It has nothing to do with deliciousness!

But what should she do? Should she lie?

Zhao Suisui became entangled. Her mother said that she should be an honest child.

Finally, Zhao Suisui made up her mind.

She took a sip of the soup in the bowl and smacked her lips, thinking it tasted pretty good. Then, a sweet smile appeared on her face. She said loudly: “Mom, the food you served me is so delicious!”

Feng He couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Zhao Haoyang finally couldn’t bear it anymore and said in a coaxing tone: “What else?”

However, Zhao Suisui ignored him again and instead pulled Zhao Jingcheng next to her to seek recognition: “Right, Brother?”

Zhao Jingcheng frowned, took a bite of potato shreds, and then nodded: “Well, my sister is right.”

“It looks like that it’s not delicious.” Feng He was a little dumbfounded.

After saying that, she took a bite of the shredded potatoes she fried and was silent for a moment. Then, she pushed the plate aside and said, “Children can’t eat too salty food. Don’t eat this, you two.”

Zhao Suisui quickly expressed her loyalty: “Suisui will finish everything Mom makes!”

Zhao Jingcheng next to her nodded.

Feng He was extremely moved and felt that for the sake of her two children, she would have to practice hard at cooking from tomorrow on.

But there was a reason why Feng He was not good at cooking. Her family’s conditions had always been good, and her mother rarely let her cook. After going to school and working after graduation, she spent most of her time eating in the school cafeteria.

During the years after she resigned, her mother-in-law was very kind to her and didn’t let her cook much, so…

But she believed that as long as she practiced more, she would definitely be able to do it.

After listening to his son and daughter’s confession, Zhao Haoyang said: “???”

He shouldn’t be on the table. He should be under the table. Had they forgotten his existence?

This whole table was made by him, and even the potatoes were shredded by him! (T/N: Poor Dad Zhao~~~)

However, Zhao Haoyang waited until the meal was almost finished but still didn’t get a word of praise.

Even in order not to waste it, the plate of shredded potatoes went into his stomach…

​But, could he complain? He could not! Because he could not afford to offend any of them!

And when it was time to go to bed at night, Zhao Suisui pushed Zhao Haoyang directly out of the door.

She stood alone in front of the door, with her hands on her hips, and said fiercely: “Mom wants to sleep with me. You are not allowed to come in!”

After saying that, she slammed the door hard.

Zhao Haoyang, who was almost touched on the nose by the door: “…”

He thought that he would finally have a wife to warm his bed!

This was different from the military life he imagined!
