Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Hungry!

Xiaowen was the last one to board the bus, and after she got on, the driver started the bus and began driving toward Yangping Village.

When she got on, Xiaowen was holding a basket, and she said to everyone with a smile;

"Dear mothers and babies, you’ve all worked hard these past few days. I’ve prepared breakfast for everyone, including milk, soy milk, and some steamed buns.

We’re expected to arrive in Yangping Village around 10 o’clock, so let’s eat on the bus for now, please make do."

When Shen Yibo heard there was food, he quickly stood up and shouted, "Aunt Xiaowen, I want steamed buns, I want to eat! I also want to drink soy milk, is the soy milk sweet?"

Xiaowen’s gaze was tender as she smiled at Shen Yibo, "The soy milk is sweet, how many buns does Little Yibo want to eat?"

Shen Yibo fumbled with his fingers, "I want to eat 100 buns!"

[Hahaha! Yibo you little fool!]

[This little fatty is always so funny and adorable.]

[Whenever it’s about food, Little Yibo is definitely involved.]

Everyone was charmed by Shen Yibo’s cuteness and laughed out loud.

Han Jiangxue had a smile on her face as she touched Shen Yibo, but deep inside, she was feeling disgusted. Shen Yibo never gave her a chance to feel proud, always causing these kinds of jokes.

Shen Yibo didn’t have a clear concept of numbers. He thought that stretching out two fingers only made ten, which seemed very few to him.

Moreover, when he was at his grandma’s house listening to stories, the king of big eaters in the story machine said he could eat 100 meat buns and 100 chocolate cakes.

So, he also wanted to eat 100 buns because he was really hungry right now.

Xiaowen said with a smile, "100 is a bit too many. Little Yibo won’t be able to finish them all at once. How about Auntie gives you a bag first with 10 inside, and if it’s not enough, I’ll get you some more, okay?"

Shen Yibo thought 10 seemed too few, but considering there would be more, a foolish grin spread across his little face, "Okay, thank you Aunt Xiaowen."

After handing over the soy milk and steamed buns to Shen Yibo, Xiaowen also gave a portion to Han Jiangxue.

The other guests were served similarly, it was only the choice between milk and soy milk that differed.

Fang Xiaoyu chose milk, while Xiao Chen and Xiao Yiyi both chose soy milk.

However, when it came to An Xi and Gu Xiaoran, Gu Xiaoran’s face was full of displeasure.

After he took the steamed buns and milk handed to him by Xiaowen, he pouted and glared resentfully at An Xi.

Once Xiaowen had moved away from him, he whispered, "I hate buns!"

"Then don’t eat them, just drink the milk."

At home, Gu Xiaoran was picky about food and didn’t like to eat much. Now, during the filming of the show, there wasn’t anything else to offer, so An Xi could only respond that way.

Besides, Gu Xiaoran often skipped meals at home, eating one and missing another, and his grandma used to say that as long as the child is happy, let him be.

Therefore, while recording the show, An Xi naturally wouldn’t say anything as long as Gu Xiaoran didn’t cry or make a fuss.

If the child gets hungry, he’ll eat anything naturally.

After all, she knew Gu Xiaoran’s temper well; the more you coax him, the more stubborn he becomes. If you stop coaxing, he might just get better on his own.

It was just like when getting dressed in the morning.

[An Xi is really ruthless, her son doesn’t want to eat breakfast and she doesn’t coax him?]

[I saw Gu Xiaoran asking his grandma to feed him during yesterday’s live broadcast, he’s so big already and still so worrisome.]

[As a mother, I think An Xi’s approach is fine. The best solution for children who are picky eaters is to let them go hungry for a meal, then they’ll get better naturally.]

"Hahaha, if one meal doesn’t cut it, then two it is! We absolutely can’t feel sorry for ourselves—guaranteed that by the third meal, everything will taste delicious, and there will be no more picky eating!"

Shen Yibo, sitting in front of Gu Xiaoran, heard the conversation between Gu Xiaoran and An Xi behind him. He promptly stood up and leaned over the seat to look back, "Brother Ranran, if you’re not going to eat your buns, can I have some?"

The little guy still had a small bun stuffed in his mouth. As he spoke, his chubby cheeks bulged like a plump hamster – it was utterly endearing.

Soon enough, Shen Yibo had finished off the small bun in his mouth and reached for a little steamed dumpling.

The little bun was quite small, and with one bite Shen Yibo chomped off a large chunk, the meat filling was steaming deliciously, combined with the greasy shine around the little guy’s lips, it looked very appetizing.

The car heater was on full blast, and the aroma of the buns filled the entire cabin. Gu Xiaoran smelled them but still couldn’t muster an appetite.

He simply handed his bag over to Shen Yibo, "You can have them all."

"Thank you, Brother Ranran!"

Seeing this, Han Jiangxue pulled Shen Yibo aside, "Yibo, Brother Ranran hasn’t eaten any himself, and you haven’t finished your own yet. If you still want more after that, I have some here. How about I give them all to you?"

Shen Yibo, looking at the one remaining bun in his hand, said naively, "But I’ve eaten them all."

No sooner had he spoken than he stuffed the entire small bun into his mouth.

Han Jiangxue: ...

An Xi laughed, "It’s okay, Xiao Xue. Ranran usually eats very little at home anyway. If Yibo likes them, let him eat. It’s good that a child has a healthy appetite."

She, indeed, wished Gu Xiaoran would eat more.

[Speaking of which, the mother-son duo of An Xi and Gu Xiaoran are so funny. If her son doesn’t eat, she really doesn’t bother with him.]

[It feels like An Xi is kind of giving up on him.]

[Looking at how thin Gu Xiaoran appears, it seems related to his lack of interest in food.]

...

By the time everyone arrived at Yangping Village, it was already 10:30. The journey was on mountain roads, and since there had been snow in the mountains around Yangping Village, ice had formed on the roads, and the bus drove very slowly.

Just like the previous episode, everyone got off the bus and gathered at the entrance of the village with their luggage.

Han Jiangxue, pulling her suitcase, shivered from the cold. She purposely stood under the sun, but that did little to block the biting wind.

With each gust of cold wind, she felt as though she was barely clothed.

The ground was covered with a thick layer of ice and surrounded by snow waiting to melt—whether visually or sensorily, it made her shiver uncontrollably.

That’s when she noticed everyone had one large suitcase and the children had a small one. Only Ye Zhenzhen had two large suitcases in addition to Xiao Chen’s small one.

With a sly glint in her eyes, she walked up to Ye Zhenzhen and smiled, "Zhenzhen, did you bring two cases of clothes?"

With a bland look, Ye Zhenzhen glanced at the shivering Han Jiangxue and nodded, "Yes, they’re all clothes."

"Zhenzhen, I didn’t bring a down jacket, could you lend me one?"

After thinking for a moment, Ye Zhenzhen said regretfully, "The clothes I brought won’t fit you."

[Damn, Ye Jianjian is really cold-hearted, bringing so many clothes. Would it kill her to lend one to our Xiao Xue?]

[Exactly, Ye Zhenzhen is truly narrow-minded!]

[Whoa, are these Han Jiangxue’s fans? Who gave you the right? Just because our Zhenzhen brought clothes, does she have to lend them to Han Jiangxue?]

[Han Jiangxue’s fans are just like her, always trying to guilt-trip. If you’re so capable, why don’t you send some clothes to Han Jiangxue?]

[Besides, Zhenzhen didn’t say no, she just said the clothes won’t fit her.]
