Chapter 20 Sending Little Rhinoceros to the Zhang Family
Chapter 20 Sending Little Rhinoceros to the Zhang Family
"Hey bro, are you done yet?"
The food had just been served when Xiao Sizi, who had been waiting anxiously, was already quite impatient.
"Almost done! Don't be impatient, Sizi!" Lin Fan was holding a bowl of cabbage and tofu soup.
Looking at the three dishes on the table, Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction. In addition to his best dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, he also stir-fried shredded pork with bell peppers, a simple stir-fried bok choy, and finally a bowl of tofu soup.
The bell peppers aren't spicy, which is just right when paired with shredded meat. The bok choy in the tofu soup helps cut through the greasiness. It's a perfect combination of meat and vegetables!
"Come on, go wash your hands with your brother, and we'll eat after you've washed them!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Sizi seemed to have oil on her feet and dashed off to the bathroom.
"Where did you come from!" Lin Fan was about to pick up Xiao Sizi when the latter refused him. Then he thought it was fine and turned to go out to get the new towel he had bought.
Little Sizi carefully stood on the small stool that Lin Fan had prepared for her, gently turned on the faucet with her little hands, wet her hands, and stared at the soap in front of her with a flash of her eyes.
"Pah! That's no good, absolutely no good!"
Lin Fan had just returned to the door when he heard Xiao Sizi's voice from inside, and thought to himself, "What's wrong with the food?"
When they entered, they found Xiao Sizi with his face buried in the sink, spitting wildly.
"What's wrong, Little Sizi?" Lin Fan stepped forward.
Little Sizi raised her head with a wronged look on her face, a ring of bubbles still hanging from her lips.
Lin Fan turned his head and saw a bar of soap with clear teeth marks on it.
"My little darling, I told you this morning that you can't eat this stuff. How much did you eat? Did you swallow it?" Lin Fan picked up the little rascal and quickly asked while gently patting its back.
"I can't swallow this, it's going to be bad!"
Hearing this, Lin Fan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the cup, filled it with water, and handed it to Xiao Sizi.
"Come on, rinse your mouth again. Remember, don't swallow the bubbles and water in your mouth; spit it all out!"
After a few minutes, Lin Fan made sure that the soap in Xiao Sizi's mouth had been cleaned before picking her up and carrying her back to the restaurant.
Lin Fan placed Xiao Sizi on the stool, but unfortunately, she was only a little short, and even sitting on the stool, she could barely stick her head out of the table.
"Do you want your brother to feed you first?"
"That's pretty good!"
Xiao Sizi stubbornly shook her head, then stood up abruptly, supporting herself on the table with both hands.
"This is fine!" Standing on the stool, the dishes on the table suddenly became much clearer.
Lin Fan placed a small bowl and spoon containing a little rice in front of Si Zi: "What would you like to eat, Si Zi? I'll put some in your bowl for you first."
"Even the system needs to be seven!"
"Okay! Then Sizi should eat more today!"
Picking up the serving chopsticks, Lin Fan first took some scrambled eggs with tomatoes, then scooped two spoonfuls of broth onto the rice, followed by some stir-fried pork with bell peppers and stir-fried bok choy.
Looking at the colorful stir-fried dishes in the bowl in front of him, Xiao Sizi couldn't help but drool, and then squatted on the stool and started eating heartily.
"Wow, this is amazing! You're so good!" The sweet and sour tomato and egg dish paired with rice was a flavor that Xiao Sizi had never tasted before. After taking a big bite, Xiao Sizi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, her eyes sparkling as she stared at Lin Fan.
"Eat more if you like it!" Lin Fan saw Xiao Sizi's expression and was clearly quite satisfied with the dish he had made.
"But it's a bit uncomfortable to eat while squatting like this. Looks like I'll have to find some time to buy a child seat for Xiao Sizi first," Lin Fan thought to himself.
"You're still eating! If you don't, you'll finish it all soon!" Seeing that Lin Fan hadn't picked up his chopsticks yet, Xiao Sizi couldn't help but remind him, her cheeks puffed out like a hamster's.
"Okay! Brother will eat right away!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Fan quickly picked up his bowl and chopsticks and started eating. However, the food was a little bland. Considering that Xiao Sizi was still young and shouldn't eat too much salt, he added a little less salt while cooking.
Half an hour later, apart from a few vegetable leaves left in the soup bowl, the two people, one adult and one child, devoured all the other dishes.
"Hiccup~ It's baby number seven!... Ah!" Little Sizi touched her round little belly and slowly stood up, but probably because she had been squatting on the bench for too long, her legs and feet were a little numb, and she suddenly fell to the side.
Lin Fan reacted quickly and grabbed Xiao Sizi's arm tightly, preventing her from falling.
"Oh my goodness, my little darling, were you scared?" Lin Fan looked at Xiao Sizi with a nervous expression.
"Hehe, with my buddy here, I'm not afraid at all!"
Seeing that Xiao Sizi was completely unaffected and even smiling, Lin Fan didn't say anything more, just shook his head helplessly, and then carried Xiao Sizi to the sofa.
"Hey, Xiongxiong is stealing honey again! Hahaha, and he got caught by the honey!" Xiao Sizi laughed as she watched the scene on TV.
Lin Fan looked at Xiao Sizi's little mouth, which was covered in tomato sauce, turned around, grabbed a wet wipe, and said, "Sizi, would you like some water? I'll go get you some."
Little Si looked down at its round little belly: "I'm not drinking anymore, I'm such a big baby!"
"Okay, then you watch TV obediently for a while, and I'll go clean up the dishes!"
"Okay! I'm all set!" Little Si smiled sweetly.
"Oh, so you know your brother works hard?" Lin Fan leaned closer to Xiao Sizi and asked, "Since your brother works so hard, does Xiao Sizi have any reward for him?"
"Wooden horse~" Little Sizi was also very quick to respond, turning around and giving a kiss.
Li Shimin: "My little darling...!"
"Hey buddy, still feeling down? Hehe."
Lin Fan couldn't help but pinch Si Zi's little cheek: "With Si Zi's encouragement, brother isn't tired at all right now!"
Then, so as not to disturb Xiao Sizi watching TV, Lin Fan got up and went back to the dining room to quickly clear away the dishes.
Carrying the bowls and chopsticks back to the kitchen, Lin Fan looked at the messy counter and thought to himself, "Sure enough, cooking is easy, but washing dishes is hard!"
After busying himself for more than ten minutes, Lin Fan returned to the sofa and saw that Xiao Sizi was curled up asleep with a little drool on the corner of her mouth.
"Hehe, what a little piglet, eating and then sleeping!" After turning off the TV, Lin Fan went back to his room, grabbed a small blanket, and gently covered Xiao Sizi with it. Looking at the sleeping Xiao Sizi, he couldn't help but quietly complain.
To avoid wasting time, Lin Fan took advantage of Xiao Sizi's nap time to push the stroller out and prepare to organize the things he bought that morning.
After another half hour of work, looking at the stroller that was packed full, Lin Fan carefully considered whether there was anything he had forgotten.
Lin Fan checked everything – food, drinks, clothes, and even a fully charged mini fan – and finding nothing wrong, he prepared to wake up Xiao Si Zi.
Arriving at the sofa, Lin Fan looked at the sleeping Xiao Sizi, wondering what she was dreaming about, as she kept smacking her lips. For a moment, Lin Fan felt reluctant to disturb her sweet dream.
"Sizi, wake up! It's time to go home!"
