Only after I was reborn did I realize that I had green plums.

Chapter 493 I don’t want to make Yuan’s mother sad
Mei Xiaoyuan and Mei Zhixi have been living in the kindergarten for 2 months.

Although the ways of getting along are different, the children are all trying to adapt to life with their peers.

Next week is the parent-child cooking activity competition. Each child needs to bring a parent to participate in the competition.

Among the parents, the one with the best cooking skills is undoubtedly Lin Youxi, a former chef.

According to the previous agreement with the children, Xia Yuan should take Mei Xiaoyuan and Lin Youxi to take Mei Zhixi to participate in this cooking competition.

Mei Fang cheered for her wives as an audience member.

Xia Yuan, who had never been active in cooking in order to prepare for the parent-child cooking competition, now started preparing meals for her family every morning.

"Get up, get up!"

"Ah... is Mom Yuan cooking again today?"

Mei Xiaoyuan held her chin, showing a depressed look.

"What's wrong, little Yuanbao...don't you like the food cooked by Yuan's mother?"

Xia Yuan, who was originally in high spirits, seemed a little disappointed when his daughter said this, and even his smile lost its tension.

Seeing her expression written on her face, Mei Xiaoyuan quickly explained and comforted:
“Mom Yuan’s cooking is also delicious!”

Little Yuanbao cooed, "But I haven't eaten the food cooked by Xi's mother for a long time..."

Lin Youxi also comforted her, "Little Yuanbao, please understand Yuan's mother more. She wants to do more practice. After all, she still has to show off her skills with you when the cooking competition is held."

what……

Indeed, that’s true!
Mei Xiaoyuan's little head was thinking about something.

At night, Mei Fang took her daughters out after taking a bath.

"There's story time tonight. Who wants to hear Dad tell a story?"

"Me, me!" Mei Xiaoyuan raised her hand excitedly.

"I want it too." Mei Zhixi also raised her hands to hug Mei Fang's legs.

"Let's run to the bed and talk!"

"Duck rush!"

Mei Xiaoyuan and Mei Zhixi, one on each side, nestled in Mei Fang's arms, listening to Mei Fang telling them stories vividly.

Mei Fang has had experience telling stories to her wives since she was a child, so telling stories to her daughters is a common and simple thing.

"Later, the little crocodile swam and swam, and finally swam up on its own strength -"

Mei Fang was immersed in her own fairy tale world. When she reacted, she realized that Mei Zhixi on her right had fallen asleep on her chest, but little Yuanbao was still staring at him with her big eyes.

"My sister is asleep, but she is still very energetic..."

Mei Fang touched Mei Xiaoyuan's head and said, "How are you doing? Do you want to hear a new story?"

"No, no..."

Mei Xiaoyuan's eyes rolled, and then she whispered to Mei Fang's ears:
"Dad, I want to ask you something."

"What do you want to ask?"

"That's it...is mom Xi really my mother?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Because, Mama Xi and Xiao Xixi are both named Xi, and my name is the same as Mama Yuan, both named Yuan. Why is that?"

"This...because...because..."

When naming the children, this problem would arise if the names were the same. This was something Mei Fang expected.

Therefore, Mei Fang had already prepared a set of rhetoric.

If you make it clear directly, even if the child doesn't understand, there will still be some sense of intimacy and alienation.

Therefore, a more thorough explanation is needed here.

Mei Fang explained, "Because mother Xi is a little older than mother Yuan, the daughters have to be the other way around. Because the elder sister is the son of the husband, she is the little ingot."

"Is it really?"

"It's not like this... or something."

"Mengmeng told me that we all popped out of our mother's belly."

Mei Xiaoyuan thought for a while, "I have two mothers, and I can't live half out of Yuan's mother's belly and half out of Xi's mother's belly. So I thought...am I born out of Yuan's mother's belly?" It came out, so it’s called Xiao Yuanbao and Mei Xiaoyuan.”

Ah this...

Are today's children already so precocious...

Mei Fang began to feel like an old thing.

But he still has to maintain his father's tenderness in front of his daughter.

"Well...but no matter what, Mama Xi and Mama Yuan are both your mothers, and they love you to the same extent." "If that's the case, can I..."

Mei Xiaoyuan thought for a while, "Can I change with Xiao Xixi?"

"Change what?"

Mei Xiaoyuan said softly, "I want... to let Xi's mother participate in the cooking competition with me."

……

Mei Fang was stunned for a moment after hearing this. It should be said that she suddenly felt a sense of surprise that a child has grown up, or a sense of loss. In short, she had a very complicated emotion.

"Why does Xiao Yuanbao want Mama Xi to compete with you? Because you think Mama Xi's cooking tastes better?"

Mei Xiaoyuan touched her face sheepishly, then nodded.

"I-I told my friends that the food my mother cooks is very delicious. We can definitely win No. 1 in the cooking competition."

"Ah...that's it."

Mei Fang thought for a while, "Then you said this morning that the food cooked by Yuan's mother is also delicious. Are you trying to make Yuan's mother happy?"

"Because I don't want to let Mama Yuan feel disappointed..."

Mei Xiaoyuan felt a little aggrieved, "But I didn't brag to my friends, because my mother Xi is also my mother, so, that..."

Children in a small society with peers will gradually develop some comparison psychology and desire to win. These are all normal things.

The problem is how to get children to view their own thoughts correctly.

Mei Fang touched her daughter's face, "Dad knows that little Yuanbao is not bragging. Little Yuanbao can also take into account the mood of Yuan's mother. She is also very well-behaved and sensible..."

"However, is winning the first place in the cooking competition the most important thing to Xiao Yuanbao?"

Mei Xiaoyuan groaned and thought for a while, "Is it a bad idea to want to be first?"

“It’s definitely understandable to want to be first.”

Mei Fang said softly, "However, in order to prepare for the cooking competition, Yuan's mother wakes up very early every day to prepare breakfast. She usually tries to cook at home and improves her cooking skills as much as possible. These are small things. There are things that Yuan Bao doesn’t know, but dad sees them all.”

"Mama Yuan actually knows that you really want to win this first place, so that's why you work so hard to improve your cooking skills."

"If, in order to get the first place, I let Mother Xi be my assistant instead, which makes Mother Yuan sad, put these two things together, who does Xiao Yuanbao think is more important?"

"Then, then I still..."

Mei Xiaoyuan pursed her lips, and then nodded seriously, "I don't want to make Mother Yuan sad, so it's better to work hard with Mother Yuan!"

"Yeah, daddy is very happy when little Yuanbao said that."

"Dad, I have a plan."

"Ok?"

"Starting from tomorrow, I will cook with Yuan's mother."

Mei Xiaoyuan said, "If I also improve my cooking skills, I might have a chance to win No. 1."

"Hahaha, it's okay."

"Then daddy wants to wake me up. I don't want to be a lazy boy."

"sure."

The next morning, Mei Fang got up early, and by this time, Xia Yuan was no longer around.

Mei Fang came to the kitchen and looked at the back of his beloved wife trying to prepare breakfast. He couldn't help but move forward and hug her from behind.

"Did you wake up so early today?"

"Hmm... I can't sleep a little bit."

Xia Yuan muttered:

"Looking at Xiao Yuanbao's behavior yesterday, she really wanted to get No. 1. If only I would pay more attention to improving my cooking skills... How about you and I switch? No... Before Just say it, say I am little Yuanbao’s mother..."

Mei Fang rubbed Xia Yuan's belly and whispered softly in her ear:
"This kind of thing cannot be comprehensive. If we want to hold a parent-child singing competition or performance competition, then are you better than Youxi?"

"But, I still don't want to disappoint my daughter."

Xia Yuan smiled and said, "As parents, who doesn't want to be the pride of our children?"

"Being able to work hard with my children, I think it is already something they are very proud of."

Mei Fang gave Xia Yuan a soft kiss on the face, "Of course, you are also the pride of my husband."

"Then...Afang is also my pride."

As Xia Yuan said that, she threw herself into Mei Fang's arms, snuggled up and started to get romantically involved.

"It's muddled, it's muddled!"

After today's breakfast, Mei Xiaoyuan became more determined to work hard in the cooking competition.
