Jinxi gently pulled his hand away and said patiently, "Mommy will be so happy to know that my darling has such a good appetite."

Zhou Yanqian looked at her, puzzled: "Why do you say that?"

Jinxi said, "This proves you're very healthy! And babies who aren't picky eaters are more likely to grow tall. But there's something I want to tell your mother."

Zhou Yanqian was happy when he heard the beginning, but when he heard the end, he instinctively covered her mouth with his hand: "Then don't say it."

Jinxi raised her eyebrows: "Alright, I won't tattle this time. If you don't behave, I'll go tell your mother next time, and that will make things much easier."

Zhou Yanqian snorted. He was such a well-behaved child, yet Jin Xi actually thought of tattling on him. She was simply up to no good!

However, when he looked at Song Lanqing and blinked, he still missed his mother very much.

But now, he has two mothers.

My biological mother is great, and my stepmother is great too.

Zhou Yanqian felt very satisfied with his second chance at life.

Zhou Linxu chatted briefly with the workers before turning back.

He said, "Let's go, it's getting dark."

The sunset in the distance was orange-purple, which was very beautiful.

Jinxi slowly got up, lowered her head and took Zanzan's little hand: "Let's go, baby, say goodbye to Mommy, we'll come again tomorrow."

Zhou Yanqian waved and said, "Goodbye, Mom."

After he finished waving, Zhou Linxu took his other hand.

The three of them walked back hand in hand, facing the sunset.

The warm evening breeze ruffled Zhou Yanqian's clothes. He turned his head to look back, and his mother was quietly watching him.

Zhou Yanqian took a deep breath and led Xiao Xi and Xiao Xu forward.

But in my heart I kept telling myself, "Don't worry, Mom, I'm very happy now."

Because I have what I always wanted in my past life.

As they left the cemetery, Zhou Linxu asked, "What would you like to eat?"

Jinxi asked, "Is there anything good to eat here?"

Zhou Linxu thought for a moment: "I remember the beef rice noodles here are delicious, different from those in Jincheng."

"Then let's go eat rice cereal." Jinxi shook Zanzan's arm: "Does baby want rice cereal?"

Zhou Yanqian nodded. The rice noodles here were indeed delicious; he always ate them when he came before.

Zhou Linxu then led them into a time-honored restaurant, where they ordered three different flavors of rice noodles, each with an extra serving of beef.

It was served in a huge bowl.

Jinxi asked for a small bowl and put some food in it for Zanzan: "Blow on it before you eat it, it's very hot."

These rice noodles are quite thin, and when topped with beef broth, they are incredibly delicious.

Jinxi took a bite and said, "It's delicious."

As Zhou Yanqian ate, he squinted his eyes. This restaurant was a long-established brand. He had eaten here before with his father, but he felt that none of the food tasted as good as what he ate today.

Has the soup base changed? Or has the cooking method changed?

Zhou Linxu watched Zan Zan eating rice noodles from a small bowl, then added some beef to his bowl: "Don't just eat rice noodles, eat some meat."

Zhou Yanqian made two "oh oh oh" sounds and stuffed more beef into his mouth.

Their beef is sliced ​​and has a rich, savory braised flavor.

It's super delicious, but Xiao Xi's braised pork is still the best!

He chewed his food, then turned to look at Xiaoxi: "When we get home, you make this for me too."

"Okay, I'll have your grandpa cook it; he's a good cook." Jinxi put some leafy greens on his plate: "Eat some vegetables too, don't just eat meat and rice noodles."

Zhou Yanqian had never eaten this kind of dish before. He picked it up, looked at it, and asked, "What kind of dish is this?"

Zhou Linxu glanced at it: "Leafy greens."

Zhou Yanqian looked at him speechlessly.

Jinxi said, "Water spinach, it's water spinach season now."

Water spinach? Zhou Yanqian had never eaten water spinach before.

Jinxi said, "Its stem is crispy and has no other flavor. You can try it if you don't believe me."

Zhou Yanqian put it in his mouth with some skepticism, and sure enough, it had a crunchy texture and a delicious flavor mixed with the beef broth.

Jinxi said, "This dish is best for cooking snail rice noodles; it absorbs the flavor perfectly."

Snail powder?

Zhou Yanqian asked in confusion, "What kind of 'snail rice noodles' are they?"

"When we get back, I'll buy you some," Jinxi said. "I can only say it's delicious. Do you like it?"

Zhou Yanqian nodded: "I love eating delicious food!"

Jinxi couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, I hope you remember what you said. Now, continue eating, sweetie."

Zhou Yanqian's lips curled slightly as he slurped up the rice noodles in silence.

I don’t know if it’s because he’s a year older, but he’s become much more adept at using chopsticks, unlike before in Yuncheng when the rice noodles would slip off his chopsticks before he could even eat them.

After finishing the rice noodles, I came out of the small shop. The streetlights outside were on, and the county town had entered nighttime mode.

Zhou Linxu asked, "Shall we take a walk? Or go back to our room?"

Zhou Yanqian looked around and said, "Let's go."

Once his mother moves back to Jincheng, he won't come here anymore. Since he has nothing else to do, he'll just take walks with Xiaoxi and Xiaoxu.

The last time the three of them took a walk together was when Xiao Xu was recovering from her leg injury. After her leg healed, she got busy again.

Jinxi felt the evening breeze: "Sure, let's take a stroll. We talked about a road trip before, but we haven't gone out yet. Let's treat today like a special forces vacation!"

Zhou Yanqian asked, "What does 'special forces travel' mean?"

"It means very rushed," Jinxi said. "Sometimes we don't have much time, but there are many sights we haven't seen, so we just go through them quickly."

Zhou Yanqian understood and said, "This isn't fun."

Jinxi chuckled softly: "When you grow up and travel with your friends, you'll realize that as long as you're with friends and family, any kind of fun will be great."

Zhou Yanqian thought for a moment, "If it's just the two of us, Xiao Xi and Xiao Xu, oh, and Da Ju, Da Li, and my grandparents too."

He's very happy to go out with the whole family!

Seeing Jin Xi talking to Zan Zan with her head down, Zhou Linxu said, "I'll take you out to play sometime."

Jinxi sighed, "It's not possible anytime soon. We've set a opening date, and we won't know if we'll be available until at least after July."

Zhou Linxu said, "Okay, there will be time."

Zhou Yanqian just nodded and agreed. He had plenty of time to wait for Xiao Xi and Xiao Xu to finish their work, and then they could go out and have fun together!
