Science: The Little Shota of the Maori Family

228. Mrs. Yoshida is ill

The next day.

Didan Primary School, Class B, Grade One.

As the bell rang, it was time for lunch break.

"It's time to eat lunch." Yuan Tai happily took out his lunch box and prepared to eat.

Ayumi also took out her lunch box. Watanabe Toru glanced at it and was a little surprised: "Ayumi, are you eating rice balls today?"

There were only three salt-flavored rice balls in Ayumi's lunch box.

Ayumi nodded and hummed, "Because mom is sick today."

Mrs. Yoshida is sick?

Watanabe Toru was stunned: "Is it serious?"

Ayumi hesitated for a moment and said, "Mom said I can't go to the store today and I have to sleep at home all day. She also told me to go to the convenience store and buy a sandwich when I get home from school."

You can't work anymore, you don't even have the energy to cook? It seems pretty serious.

Watanabe Toru pushed his lunch box to Ayumi: "Ayumi, how about you give me a rice ball and I'll give you half of my lunch box?"

"Huh? Is that okay?" Ayumi looked at Watanabe Toru's lunch box, which contained pork chops, fried meatballs, and small sausages, and couldn't help swallowing.

Watanabe Toru smiled and said, "Of course, I just happen to want to eat rice balls today."

"Okay, okay."

"It's 8:30 now. I'll go back with you to see Auntie after school."

"Okay." Ayumi said crisply, "If Xiao Che comes, Mom will definitely be very happy."

……

School is over in the evening.

Watanabe Toru and Ayumi left the school together. When they passed a small restaurant, Watanabe Toru suddenly stopped and said to Ayumi, "I'm going in to buy something."

Seeing that it was a restaurant, Ayumi was a little surprised: "Xiao Che, are you hungry?"

"No...I'm going to take it to your house later."

"Take him to my house?" Ayumi became even more confused. Seeing that Watanabe Toru had already entered the store, she hurriedly followed him.

"Welcome." The waiter came over and saw that it was two children. He subconsciously looked back and didn't see any adults. He asked in confusion, "Kids, what can I do for you?"

Apparently the waiter didn't think they were there to eat.

Watanabe Toru said: "Hello, please give me a portion of beef stew and four croquettes, um... please pack it for me."

"Huh?" The waiter was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and said, "Okay, guests, please take a seat. I'll prepare it for you right away."

"it is good."

Ten minutes later, Watanabe Toru paid the bill, picked up the packaged beef stew and croquettes, and left the store with Ayumi.

……

When they arrived at Ayumi's house, Toru Watanabe and Ayumi went to the bedroom to see Mrs. Yoshida first.

Mrs. Yoshida looked noticeably more haggard than usual, her rosy lips slightly dry, her face a faint blush...

"Mom, I'm back." Ayumi said softly to Mrs. Yoshida, "Xiaotuo is here too."

Mrs. Yoshida opened her eyes drowsily and saw the two people standing by the bed. She perked up, forced a smile, and said, "Xiao Che, you're here too..."

Watanabe Toru hummed and asked with concern, "Auntie, why did you suddenly get sick? Is it serious?"

Mrs. Yoshida shook her head slightly, only having a slight fever: "You'll be fine after two days of rest, but the store..."

Watanabe Toru interrupted, "Auntie, please recover first. Miss Eguchi is still in the store. It's okay."

"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Eguchi." Mrs. Yoshida sighed and looked at Ayumi: "Ayumi, did you buy the sandwiches?"

Ayumi said softly, "Che bought beef stew and croquettes so I don't have to buy a sandwich."

"Huh?" Mrs. Yoshida was stunned: "Xiao Che, you..."

Watanabe Toru smiled and said, "Auntie, leave today's dinner to me."

"That won't do. Dinner... let me prepare dinner..."

Mrs. Yoshida said this and was about to get up from the bed.

　(bhcj) Watanabe Toru stepped forward and held her down, saying, "Auntie, just have a good rest. I have learned cooking from Sister Xiaolan, so it's no problem if it's just cooking."

"But……"

"Auntie, don't you trust me?"

Seeing Watanabe Toru deliberately pretending to be unhappy, Mrs. Yoshida pursed her lips, and finally compromised: "Okay, then I'll trouble you, Toru."

Watanabe Toru smiled and said, "It's not a problem at all."

Then, he looked at Ayumi and said, "Ayumi, let's go out first and let Auntie have a good rest."

"Okay." Ayumi nodded obediently.

The two men walked out of the room and closed the door for Mrs. Yoshida.

Ayumi asked curiously, "Xiao Che, can you cook?"

Watanabe Toru nodded: "Yeah, Sister Xiaolan taught me."

"That's amazing." Ayumi said in admiration, "It seems like Toru can do everything."

Watanabe Toru smiled. Although he had never asked Xiaolan for advice, it was really unreasonable for an adult like him to say that he didn't know a life skill like cooking.

"I'm going to start getting ready, Ayumi, you go watch TV."

Ayumi shook her head: "I want to help too."

"No, I'm just cooking. I'll be done soon." Watanabe Toru pushed Ayumi down on the sofa and said, "It's the time when your favorite Kamen Rider starts broadcasting. I'll call you if there's anything, okay?"

Ayumi then gave up.

Half an hour later, Watanabe Toru finished cooking, then put the beef stew and croquettes into bowls and took them out of the kitchen.

"Ayumi, it's time to eat." He said to Ayumi.

Ayumi jumped down from the sofa and walked to the dining table. She looked at the delicious food on it and swallowed her saliva: "It smells so good. It must be delicious."

Watanabe Toru poured her a bowl of rice and said, "You eat first, Ayumi. I'll bring in Auntie's dinner."

"it is good."

Watanabe Toru carried the tray and walked into Mrs. Yoshida's bedroom again.

"Auntie, it's time to eat."

Mrs. Yoshida smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your help, Xiao Che. Just put it aside and I will eat it myself later."

"That won't do." Watanabe Toru put the tray on the bedside table, took a cushion and placed it behind Mrs. Yoshida, then helped her up and said, "Let me feed Auntie."

Hello, food?

Mrs. Yoshida was stunned, then shook her head and said, "How can that be, Xiao Che, Auntie can do it herself."

"Auntie, you don't have to be polite to me." Watanabe Toru sat down beside the bed with a bowl in his hand and said in a tone that did not allow for refusal: "Auntie, you are a patient now, so let me take care of you."

229. Wiping Mrs. Yoshida's Body

I, an adult, actually have to be fed by a child.

Mrs. Yoshida was extremely embarrassed, but Toru Watanabe was very determined. He handed the rice to Mrs. Yoshida's mouth and made a sound like he was coaxing a child.

Mrs. Yoshida hesitated for a moment, and finally opened her mouth.

Watanabe Toru smiled and said, "Auntie, come and have a piece of stewed beef. I wonder if it suits your taste."

Mrs. Yoshida: "..."

For a moment, she felt a faint trance. The boy who fed her seemed to grow taller. His eyes were doting, his movements gentle, and the smile on his lips was like a warm current flowing into her heart, making her originally uncomfortable body feel light and happy.

“Auntie…Auntie…”

The soft call in her ear woke Mrs. Yoshida up. She let out a cry and looked at Watanabe Toru blankly.

Watanabe Toru said, "Auntie, aren't you full? How about I go get you a bowl of rice?"

Mrs. Yoshida then realized that she had finished a bowl of rice without realizing it. When asked by Watanabe Toru, her already rosy face turned even redder. She shook her head and said, "No need, Toru. I'm full."

"Okay." Watanabe Toru nodded: "Auntie, do you want to sit for a while or lie down and rest?"

"Just sit back for a while." Mrs. Yoshida said, "Xiao Che, you should go eat too."

"it is good."

Watanabe Toru nodded again, cleaned up, and left the bedroom with the tray.

Seeing Watanabe Toru come out, Ayumi, who was still eating, raised her head and asked, "Little Toru, has mom finished eating?"

"Hmm." Watanabe Toru put the tray on the table and asked with a smile, "Are the beef stew and croquettes delicious?"

"It's delicious." Ayumi's eyes sparkled: "It would be great if I could eat it every day."

"Even if you eat too much delicious food, you'll get tired of it." Watanabe Toru stretched and said, "I'm hungry too."

Ayumi immediately jumped down from the dining chair: "I'll go serve Xiao Che some food."

Toru Watanabe did not stop her and said thank you after Ayumi handed her the bowl of rice.

The beef is stewed until very tender and full of soup, which goes very well with rice. The croquettes are fried until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. When you take a bite, a delicious chemical reaction occurs in your mouth.

After Watanabe Toru finished his dinner happily, he began to clean up the dishes.

Ayumi offered to help, and this time, Watanabe Toru did not refuse. After the two cleaned the kitchen, they went to Mrs. Yoshida's bedroom.

Ayumi asked for credit, "Mom, I helped clean up too."

"Really? Ayumi is amazing." Mrs. Yoshida praised her daughter, then turned her gaze to Watanabe Toru, her beautiful eyes filled with tenderness: "Little Toru, I really troubled you today. Not only did you take care of Ayumi, but you also took care of Auntie."

Watanabe Toru smiled and said, "Auntie usually takes good care of me. Now that she's sick, of course I have to take care of her. By the way, Auntie, have you taken your medicine? I'll go get you some water."

"Okay, thank you for your help." Mrs. Yoshida said with a smile.

It was seven o'clock in the evening.

Toru Watanabe originally planned to go home after dinner, but Mrs. Yoshida's condition was more serious than he thought, so after contacting Xiaolan on the phone, he decided to stay here tonight.

At this time, Ayumi was taking a shower in the bathroom, and Toru Watanabe was accompanying Mrs. Yoshida and telling her some things that happened in the class.

Mrs. Yoshida listened very carefully, occasionally interjecting a few words. It was a heartwarming scene. To outsiders, it seemed that this was a mother and son with a deep love for each other.

"Little Tetsu." After Watanabe Tetsu finished speaking, Mrs. Yoshida said, "Can you help Auntie get a basin of water?"

"Okay, but what do you want a basin of water for, Auntie?"

Mrs. Yoshida explained, "I've been lying in bed all day and I feel sticky all over. I want to wipe myself off."

"I understand." Watanabe Toru stood up and said, "I'll get a basin of water for Auntie right away."

"Sorry to bother you, Xiao Che, please be careful."

"it is good."

Watanabe Toru brought a basin of warm water, placed it carefully on the bedside table, then wet a towel and wrung it dry.

Mrs. Yoshida supported herself with her hands and stood up: "Xiao Che, I can do it myself."

Watanabe Toru stopped Mrs. Yoshida and said, "Auntie, let me wipe your body."

"This...this is not possible..." Mrs. Yoshida refused subconsciously.

It’s okay to just feed him, but why would he let Xiao Che wipe his body?

Watanabe Toru looked at Mrs. Yoshida innocently: "Auntie, are you embarrassed? But, I have already seen your body..."

· ········Request flowers·· ·········

Mrs. Yoshida was even more embarrassed. She stammered like a shy little woman, "This...this is different..."
