Food: Starting with Wonton Noodles

Li Chenxi shouted in embarrassment and anger, "I wasn't hit by her!"

Seeing that Li Chenxi had been bullied but didn't dare to admit it, Li Shaopeng felt a bit disappointed in her.

Just as he was about to say something more, Teacher Chen came to the chubby boy's rescue: "No children are fighting. Here's what happened."

She hadn't had a chance to interject, but just then Li Shaopeng hesitated, so she quickly took the opportunity to repeat what she had said.

Li Shaopeng finally listened patiently to the whole story.

But after listening, he felt a little embarrassed. It seemed that his anger had gone in the wrong direction.

However, having already said those harsh words, it doesn't seem right to back down now.

He stubbornly insisted, "No matter what, my son was injured because of her, so you have to compensate him. Son, let Dad see your wound."

However, when Li Chenxi reluctantly extended her hand, Li Shaopeng fell silent once again.

The chubby boy's already plump right hand only had a slight redness and swelling on the index finger, and there were no other external injuries.

It seems like we don't need to go to the hospital.

Ms. Chen was also a little surprised. She had just noticed that Li Chenxi's fingers were quite swollen, otherwise she wouldn't have called her parents.

The teacher who was taking care of him explained, "After we applied ice to his skin, the redness and swelling subsided significantly. It probably wasn't that badly pinched; it's just that children's hands are delicate, so it looked more serious at first."

Zhou Yu: "Should we go to the hospital to get checked out? Actually, it's just a small crab, it shouldn't hurt anyone."

After carefully examining his son's hands, Li Shaopeng looked at the culprit, the red crab, that Teacher Chen had brought out.

This red crab was only the size of a matchbox. It must have been in pain, but Li Shaopeng was hesitant to suggest that it need to be taken to the hospital for a checkup.

Suddenly, the chubby boy Li Chenxi shouted, "No way! We need compensation!"

Li Shaopeng felt a bit embarrassed to come today. Compensation? Son, what do you need to compensate you for with this little injury? A lollipop?

Seeing her father glaring at her, Li Chenxi subconsciously softened her voice: "I want, I want Huihui to pay me back for that little crab that bit me."

Zhou Yu: ......

Li Shaopeng: ......

Teacher Chen: ......

You've been crying all morning after being bitten, and you still want little crabs?

Before anyone could speak, Huihui jumped up and said, "No, I can't give you the little crab. My dad caught it for me! At most, I'll give you some snacks instead."

She started counting how many snacks she still had left to give away.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt cheated, and her brows began to furrow. She vowed never to bring her "friends" to school again.

Zhou Yu tentatively said to Li Shaopeng, "Why don't we take him to the hospital to get him checked out? If we let him play with those little crabs, he might get pinched again."

This time, Li Shaopeng also objected. He had already let it go once, since his son had been pinched and made to cry by a small crab.

But why does it seem like my son is less capable than a little girl?

He said, "It's nothing serious for kids to have a little scuffle, so there's no need to take them to the hospital. But I think my son is right. Since this little crab pinched him, he still has the courage to face what he's afraid of, and I think we should encourage that."

Zhou Yu: "Huihui, why don't you give this crab to it? You have many more at home. If you really want more, we can go catch some more next time, okay?"

Seeing that Zhou Yu also said so, Huihui could only reluctantly agree.

However, when she handed the little crab to Xixi, she couldn't help but mutter, "Honestly, he's so much fatter than me, and he's a boy, yet he's too scared to catch a little crab and even tried to take mine. He's just like a girl."

Li Chenxi didn't take the small box containing the crabs that Huihui handed him. Instead, he hugged his father and said, "Daddy, I don't want crabs anymore. I want you to take me to catch some, okay?"

Huihui repeatedly said he looked like a girl, and he couldn't stand it anymore.

Li Shaopeng: ...Son, what do you want?

He initially thought Li Chenxi was just making a fuss. However, to his surprise, the chubby boy's attitude was very firm this time.

Huihui was immediately happy when she saw that Li Chenxi didn't want the little crab anymore.

She generously said to Li Chenxi, "Okay, if you don't want to, I'll teach you how to catch it."

As they talked, the two children huddled together again, whispering and discussing how to catch small crabs.

Li Shaopeng sighed and said, "Brother, what should I call you? I'll find some time to go crab catching with him."

Li Shaopeng was surprised to learn that the small crab was caught on the grass in Jiangbin Park.

Because people in the neighborhood like to take walks in the riverside park or have picnics there on weekends, he had never actually seen crabs on the grass.

Huihui interjected, "It's on the grass by the river, next to the greenway."

Li Shaopeng: "Brother Zhou Yu, since the kids have resolved this themselves, we can say that we've become friends through this fight. Sometime we can arrange a time to take the two kids to the riverside park together, which would also satisfy their wish to catch crabs."

Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Okay."

Seeing that the group had reached a consensus, Teacher Chen was very happy.

That's how it is in kindergartens; as long as the children are okay and the adults don't make a fuss, everything else is fine.

However, she still gave Huihui a stern talking-to in the end, forbidding her from bringing these small animals to school again.

The little crab we brought today was also taken back by Zhou Yu.

After Zhou Yu and Zhou Meiying finished their conversation over the phone, Zhou Yu drove back.

When Zhou Yu returned home, Cao Xuezhen started nagging.

While Zhou Yu was dealing with this matter, the family group was also discussing it, waiting for Zhou Yu's decision.

"Thank goodness she's alright," Cao Xuezhen complained. "Seriously, Meiying needs to discipline Huihui properly from now on. What kind of behavior is this, having a child grabbing these things to play with every day?"

Zhou Yu glanced at her. Where did these things come from? Didn't the adults take them to catch them?

However, considering that he might also be involved, he was too embarrassed to say it aloud.

......

After lunch, Zhou Yu finished cooking the soup base for the wonton noodles before heading over to He Jiafu's place.

To his surprise, Sun Zhigang didn't wait for him at the store today, but instead got busy right there.

But he immediately remembered that He Jiafu was also giving Sun Zhigang a chance to learn how to make bamboo-pressed noodles.

After all the noodles for today were prepared, Zhou Yu said to Sun Zhigang:

Are you free tomorrow at noon? I'm going to Shunyi Restaurant to cook tomorrow. If you're free, you can come and watch me cook.

When Sun Zhigang first heard Zhou Yu extend an invitation, he was very excited and immediately agreed.

He rarely received an invitation from Zhou Yu, so why would he say he was too busy?

On the way here, Zhou Yu had already called Liang Ding and made a reservation for a private room at Shunyi Restaurant for tomorrow.
