146 146 I want to eat vegetables
Mother Tao glanced at Tao Qis expression and laughed to herself. Her youngest son was clearly being influenced by Xiao Rou but he just couldnt get over it.
Mrs. Tao didnt point it out.
Everything that Tan Rou had done so far had pleasantly surprised Mother Tao. She didnt expect Tan Rou to be so tolerant of her younger brother.
She had thought about what to do if the two children were incompatible like fire and water. Now that she thought about it, she was really overthinking. Tan Rou was so obedient and outstanding, who wouldnt like her?
Just let Xiao Rou slowly conquer her brother! She would only have to a.s.sist from the side.
Seeing that Tao Qi was already sitting at the table obediently, waiting for the meal to start, Mother Tao smiled and brought the porridge and vegetables that Tan Rou had prepared to Tao Qi.
Tao Qi frowned unhappily and said in disdain, Mom, I dont want to eat vegetables! Its too bitter and theyre not delicious at all!
Tao Qis reaction was within Mother Taos expectations. She didnt force him and instead said to Father Tao and Tao Zheng, Todays breakfast was prepared by Xiao Rou. She even told me that she had prepared these vegetables for Xiao Qi to detoxify. Its a pity that Xiao Qi doesnt like it, but we cant let down Xiao Rous good intentions. Lets eat it!
Tao Qis expression froze when he heard that it was Tan Rou who cooked all these. He took a few more glances at the dish.
Tao Zheng raised an eyebrow and played along with his mother. Sure, Ive never had this kind of vegetable before. It seems like it can be used in medicine too. Tan Rou is so thoughtful. Let me try it.
Mr. Tao smiled and glanced at Tao Qi before joining in. It looks really delicious. Xiao Rou really has been nothing but nice to this brat! Even I, as his father, am a little jealous. Im going to finish all of this!
This time, Tao Qi was a little anxious. His eyes were fixed on the dish. When he saw father Tao and Tao Zheng each take a big bite, Tao Qi couldnt help but say, She made that for me!
Tao Qi felt a little proud when he heard what he had just said.
Even his father was a little jealous of the dishes that Tan Rou had specially made for him. At least that woman was tactful and was the most attentive to him at home.
This made Tao Qi feel that he was especially valued and satisfied by the little vanity in his heart. However, when he saw that his father and brother had eaten so much of the dish, he felt a little distressed.
Tan Rou had made him vegetables that night as well and it was the best that he had ever eaten. After knowing that this green dish was made by Tan Rou, it didnt seem as annoying as before. It should be delicious, right?
Seeing how anxious Tao Qi was, Mother Tao smiled mischievously and pretended to be understanding. Its fine, Xiao Qi. I know you dont like vegetables. Although Tan Rou made this for you, I dont want to force you.
Tao Qi hesitated for a while in distress. Seeing that his brother was still eating in big mouthfuls, he completely forgot about his face and shouted, I want to eat vegetables! Dont fight with me! With that, he quickly picked up the vegetables on the plate and ate them in big mouthfuls.
After the first bite, Tao Qi squinted his eyes in satisfaction. This taste was cool and refres.h.i.+ng with a unique sweetness. It was indeed different from other vegetables.
Mother Tao looked at Tao Qi in surprise. Everyone present knew how much Tao Qi hated vegetables. She had only wanted to try teasing him, thinking that he would at most take a bite and give up. She didnt expect him to be so straightforward and eat a few mouthfuls without hesitation.
Tao Zheng also found it strange. Tao Qi, dont you hate vegetables the most? In the past, you would go to the bathroom and vomit for half a day if I tricked you into eating a mouthful. Why are you okay with this? You dont have to pretend to be brave!
Tao Zheng was afraid that Tao Qi was being teased by them and was only trying to be brave, worried that he would feel uncomfortable.
Unexpectedly, Tao Qi rolled his eyes and said with a little pride, I will finish them. Its not the first time Ive eaten it. Her vegetables are delicious!
When have you ever tried your sisters cooking? Father Tao asked, feeling confused.
Tao Qi was still tsundere, and even a little proud. I didnt eat the night I came home and then I got hungry, so Tan Rou made me something to eat. After saying that, he even raised his chin, looking very pleased.
His parents and brother liked Tan Rou so much, but Tan Rou only made good food for him. Tao Qi wanted to show off for some reason.
Realization dawned on Mrs. Tao. Thats what I thought. When I woke up the next morning, I found traces of the kitchen being used. So, your sister was the one who cooked!
