Chapter 42 Dinner Table Conversation
Cheng Tianye couldn't help laughing as he watched Xiaozhen gorging on preserved egg and lean meat porridge.

Laughing for no reason made the other girl at the dinner table puzzled.

"Brother, what are you laughing at?"

Xiaozhen who was talking still did not put down the spoon in his hand, still put the porridge in the bowl into his mouth, took out one from the pile of pork and cabbage stuffed buns in the middle of the table, tore it in half, Half of it was placed on the plate in front of him, and the other half was blown a little before he ate it.

"I was just thinking that the little girl who took a bite of preserved egg tofu out of curiosity and spit out the preserved egg can now happily eat preserved egg porridge. This kind of thing is ridiculous."

Hearing Cheng Tianye's words, Xiao Zhen blushed first, and then covered up her embarrassment by eating buns.

"I didn't understand it at the beginning, don't I understand it now? After all, I have grown up a lot."

"I just feel that time flies a bit fast. Back then, you were the little girl hiding behind your father. In the blink of an eye, you have grown so tall."

Cheng Tianye seemed to miss the time when he first saw Xiao Zhen, a skinny little girl, clutching Cheng's father's trouser legs, avoiding his eyes, like a wounded animal.But now, not only is the mental state much better than before, but the body has also recovered very well. The arms and thighs that were originally skinny can now see healthy and strong muscles, although they are still a bit thinner compared to children of the same age. But it's a pretty good recovery.As for the thin body, it is not a big problem. Health is the most important thing. There will be a lot of time to gain weight in the future, so there is no rush.

"The main reason is that the food at my eldest brother's house is delicious. I have eaten well and slept well these few days. I wake up every day and my muscles and bones are stretched again, which is very relaxing."

While talking, Xiao Zhen picked up another bun.

In front of the food, Cheng Tianye is confident. Every meal is at least adequate in terms of nutrition and portion, and it is freshly made, so there is no need to worry about it getting cold and causing problems with the taste.As for why there is no delicacy served every meal in turn, it's not that the Cheng family can't afford it, but that Cheng Tianye has read a book before, which seems to say that if children are exposed to foods that are too stimulating for the taste Food, including but not limited to delicious, spicy, sour and bitter, may have an adverse effect on future meals.Specifically, if you ate delicious food when you were young, you may not be interested in ordinary meals in the future. Foods that are too spicy and sour also have the same effect.But the right amount of delicious and spicy, as well as sour and bitter, is helpful for the development of children's sense of taste.Therefore, even though the Cheng family was indeed rich, Cheng Tianye still ate very ordinary meals, but the ingredients were better.As for delicacies from mountains and seas, if you eat too much, you will find that they are actually no different from a piece of pork, two eggs and a plate of cabbage leaves.Although Cheng Tianye never really chewed candles.

"Eat more, exercise more, and pay more attention to rest, and your body will recover soon."

Cheng Tianye began to pick up the spoon in the ceramic basin, put the preserved egg porridge in his own bowl, and began to eat the most important meal for a day's activities, breakfast.

Although most of the heat of the porridge has dissipated, it does not affect the consumption.It's better to say that porridge is what Cheng Tianye wants to eat at this time.Cheng Tianye's tongue is very sensitive to porridge, soup and other soupy foods. If he is not careful, he will be scalded, and he will be in a hurry many times.So Cheng Tianye's habit became cold soup porridge, but food that was too cold would lose its original taste, so Cheng Tianye chose to start eating the porridge when the heat on the surface of the porridge stopped escaping.Even so, Cheng Tianye was carefully blowing off the hot air on the spoon before slowly sending it into his mouth.The gelatinous taste of preserved eggs and the delicate taste of lean meat are mixed together in the soft boiled white rice porridge, together with the crisp taste of chopped green onions, Cheng Tianye feels a little heat in his empty stomach, as if the whole body People are much more energetic.Take out a bun from the pile of buns and separate it from the middle. The hot filling is exuding a tempting aroma. Just swallowing half of it is not enough to satisfy the appetite at this time, so I start to eat the other half. Then came the second and third buns.

Don't talk while eating. When talking, you must swallow the food in your mouth before you can talk.This kind of table manners was still observed by the two of them.So, when Cheng Tianye started eating, only the sound of swallowing food and the collision of tableware remained on the table, and the two stopped talking.

"Why don't you ask the person that elder brother brought back to have dinner with you?"

Xiaozhen used a small half cup of water as a signal to stop breakfast.Although both of them are in the period of physical development, it is normal to eat a lot, but the two of them have such a big appetite not long after they woke up. After eating the food for two adults, it is no wonder that after Xiao Zhen drank the water , burped slightly.

"She's going to have an operation later. I asked in advance. Before the operation, she can't eat, and even drink as little water as possible, so I won't invite her to dinner."

Cheng Tianye took Xiaozhen to the side of the sink, washed his hands and washed off the oil stains on his mouth.

"Is there such a thing as surgery?"

For Xiaozhen at this time, the operation may be like taking a sugar pill for insect repellent. It is just as simple as a slightly sweet candy, and it cannot be understood that it has any necessary relationship with eating.

"Of course. Before the operation or examination, you must ask whether you can eat, drink water, and make other preparations. You must ask clearly about these. Otherwise, if the operation is not done well, you will not be able to see it all day long. TV show."

Cheng Tianye also knew that his narration was a little weak. Firstly, he really didn’t know much about surgery, so he could only give a rough idea; secondly, Xiaozhen’s ability to understand was limited. Explain to Xiaozhen, but Xiaozhen may not be able to understand.Explaining in a relatively simple way is the most effective explanation.

"Since you can't eat or drink, is it okay to drink porridge? And it seems that nothing will happen to you if you eat steamed stuffed buns. After all, steamed stuffed buns aren't rice, are they?"

The question Xiaozhen raised shocked Cheng Tianye too much. At this time, he realized that it was not because he didn’t explain clearly, but that Xiaozhen didn’t have a general understanding of food. He just mixed rice, porridge, steamed buns, and even other Treating food as individual individuals, I never thought that some of the ingredients of these things are exactly the same, so I asked this kind of question that sounds incredible.

"You can't eat before the operation, which means you can't eat anything, whether it's rice, porridge, buns, pies, or even potato chips and buns. You can't drink water, just water and soda and other things. You can't drink either. Simply put, you don't eat or drink, just waiting for the operation."

Cheng Tianye didn't get angry, because he also came from this age, and it's normal for him to be unable to understand many things, so he used another more popular way of explaining what it meant to not be able to eat or drink water.

Fortunately, Xiaozhen's comprehension ability is still very good, and she quickly understood Cheng Tianye's meaning and her own misunderstanding.

"Isn't that pitiful?"

"Surgery is like this, otherwise the effect will not be good."

Seeing Cheng Tianye's appearance, Xiaozhen nodded.

"So it is."
