Chapter 852 - 597: Is This Jumping Out of One "Pit" Only to Fall Into Another?

Chapter 852: Chapter 597: Is This Jumping Out of One "Pit" Only to Fall Into Another?

"Then why did you suddenly sigh? Is it that the cola chicken wings Mommy made don’t suit your taste? But Daddy and Mommy both ate them and think they’re pretty good." Qiu Jingwen asked in confusion, her eyes full of concern.

Guoguo lowered her head and said in a small voice, "Mama, I just miss the dishes and snacks at kindergarten. Mama, let me tell you, the dishes and snacks at kindergarten are really super yummy, no matter how much Guoguo eats it’s never enough..."

When Qiu Jingwen and Dou Yuanxin heard this, they immediately understood a bit.

Well~

Guoguo had tasted the delicious food cooked by Huang Jun at kindergarten, so when she eats other things, of course she’ll be a bit picky.

Thinking of this, Qiu Jingwen’s mood grew complicated; she didn’t know whether to feel happy or worried.

If from now on Guoguo keeps a picky attitude toward the food at home, what are they supposed to do?

Sigh, nothing to be done...

Who told Guoguo to eat such tasty things at kindergarten that her taste buds have been spoiled!

Looks like everything is scary only when you compare it!

Mm, that’s right, everything is scary only when you compare it...

After all, once you’ve experienced a higher level of deliciousness, going back to ordinary flavors will indeed make people a bit picky. That’s only human.

But then again, is this situation normal?

Do the other kids at kindergarten have the same issue?

Or is it only her Guoguo who’s like this?

At this thought, a big question mark rose in Qiu Jingwen’s heart.

Speaking of which.

Does this count as jumping out of one "pit" only to fall into another?

If Guoguo complains every time she eats at home and doesn’t want to eat, she really wouldn’t know what to do.

Just then, Dou Yuanxin, who was sitting to the side, spoke up: "Guoguo, Mommy works really hard every day to prepare our meals. It’s not easy at all. Even if sometimes the food tastes a bit different from the kindergarten’s, you still need to try your best to finish it. You can’t be picky, otherwise Mommy will feel sad."

Hearing these thoughtful words from Dou Yuanxin, Qiu Jingwen’s heart was instantly wrapped in warmth. She gazed deeply at Dou Yuanxin, her eyes full of gratitude and love.

At critical moments, her husband is still the most considerate!

Although the two of them occasionally have different views and opinions when it comes to parenting, whenever they encounter this kind of key moment, Dou Yuanxin always stands firmly on her side unconditionally, giving her the greatest support and understanding.

With a husband like this, what more could a wife ask for!

It’s enough!

After listening to Dad’s words, Guoguo’s eyes turned with a little roll. She glanced at Mommy first and found that Mommy’s brows were scrunched up like little hills. She couldn’t help going "oh no" in her heart.

Looks like Mommy really is upset...

Then she thought of how Mommy is always busy, busy in the kitchen—washing vegetables, chopping vegetables, stir-frying—and sometimes, if she’s not careful, hot oil will go "splat" onto her arm, leaving little red dots, even tiny blisters...

Just looking at it hurts!

Thinking of this, a wave of sourness and guilt surged up in her heart.

She also realized that Mommy had put in so much effort and hard work for this family and to make the meals she likes to eat.

But she herself had sighed and made Mommy sad just because Mommy’s cooking wasn’t as tasty as the kindergarten’s. That really shouldn’t have happened.

With that thought, she lifted her head, serious light shining in her big eyes. She patted her little chest with her hand and said in a milky but firm voice, "Baba, Mama, Guoguo understands now! Even though the dishes and snacks at kindergarten are very yummy, the meals Mama cooks are Guoguo’s favorite ’taste of home.’ From now on Guoguo won’t be picky, I’ll eat everything, and I’ll finish it all clean, so I won’t make Mama sad. Because cooking is really hard work for Mama, so Guoguo wants to be Mama’s little helper, and also Mama’s little sun, so Mama can smile happily every single day!"

After she finished, Guoguo主动 picked up her chopsticks, grabbed a cola chicken wing, and took a big bite. As she ate, she nodded, her face full of satisfaction. "Mmm! The cola chicken wings Mama made are still this yummy. They’re Guoguo’s favorite!"

Luckily the little one is so sensible; otherwise the house really would have been "a mess of squawking chickens and barking dogs." 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

Watching Guoguo being so obedient and understanding, Qiu Jingwen and Dou Yuanxin exchanged a smile, their eyes full of relief.

After dinner, Qiu Jingwen still felt a bit uneasy.

She picked up her phone, quickly pulled up her cousin Xu Sijun on WeChat, and asked with concern, "Sijun, I want to ask you something. Ever since Qianqian started kindergarten, has she also become especially sensitive to flavors like Guoguo, and not as keen on the food at home?"

Xu Sijun almost replied in seconds: "Mm, it’s kind of similar. Ever since Qianqian started kindergarten, every time she comes home she’s not that interested in the food at home. It’s been like this all along. Don’t worry too much, she’ll slowly get used to it."

Seeing the reply, Qiu Jingwen felt a little more at ease, but she still asked, a bit uneasily, "Sijun, you mean this situation is very common among little kids, right?"

Xu Sijun replied patiently again: "Yes, it’s very common. Chef Huang’s cooking skills are indeed excellent. The kids get to taste so many delicious meals at kindergarten, so it’s only natural that they’re a bit picky about the food at home."

At the end, she added another line: "Of course, all the ingredients at kindergarten are strictly selected and tested, very safe and reliable. I personally went to the back kitchen to check it out as the head of the parent committee, so you can rest completely assured."
