Since it was his talent, not only did Zhai Xin not reject Zhai Yi, but he even accepted it happily. He then gestured a ‘no problem’ sign with his hands. He would take care of this matter.

Sure enough, when her two eldest grandsons returned home, Miao Jing’s mood suddenly improved. When a person’s mood improved, so would her spirits. When her spirits improved, her illness would then get better. “You two rascals are finally back. It’s almost the new year! Grandma thought that you two wouldn’t be spending the new year with grandma! I’ve been so upset that I haven’t been eating well lately!”

She took a look at her eldest grandson before caressing her second grandson’s face. Oh, they lost weight. They lost a lot of weight. It was no mean feat being students nowadays, especially her grandsons who were studying in key universities. It was a given that they would have it even harder than average students. “Now that you’ve come back for the new year, I’ll definitely prove myself and show you my skills. I promise that I’ll get you chubby again and as handsome as you guys were before the next school term starts! Sigh, you three loved eating so much when you were younger and were so chubby. Why have you lost all that weight now?”

“Especially San Bao. She is in Peking University, which is actually just nearby. When your mom was in Peking University, she came home every day to take care of the three of you. San Bao doesn’t even have the burden of children and doesn’t have to run between her school and our house. But the strange thing is that San Bao eats a lot but never gains any weight. I don’t really understand where all that food that San Bao eats goes to. Does it really go into her stomach? Where does it go afterward?”

Miao Jing was just like any other old person, who felt that it was more adorable and healthy for children to be slightly chubby. Unfortunately, all her grandchildren, from Zhai Yi to Zhai Yu, were kids who never seemed to have an extra ounce of fat on them.

This was a huge blow to Miao Jing who was determined to fatten the three children. Ever since she had learned to cook, she had just this one wish.

Zhai Xin touched his own face. “Isn’t that right? The food in our school canteen is so terrible when compared to what grandma cooks! It’s almost as bad as pig food! You’ve spoiled me too much, grandma! How could I not lose weight in school? Grandma, you must make more delicious food for the three of us, especially for me and Zhai Yi, so that we can gain back whatever weight we’ve lost!”

Yes, even he felt that he had lost some weight this time. If this persisted, his handsome face would be so skinny to the point of having no fats at all.

“...” Zhai Yi was speechless upon hearing the conversation between his brother and his grandma. Every time they ate in the school canteen, Zhai Xin was the most excited and was always at the front of the line. He would always try to plate his food as quickly as possible, and once he sat down, he would eat more quickly than anyone else. It was as though a bunch of noisy crows was flying over Zhai Yi’s head.

Pig food?

Both he and Zhai Yi had already been studying there for a year and a half. Did that mean that they had been pigs for a year and a half? But why was Zhai Xin more excited than anyone when it came to eating that pig food?

Zhai Xin really did not have any qualms about saying such things or even comparing himself to a pig just to coax his grandma. Zhai Yi had no issues with Zhai Xin comparing himself to a pig. But Zhai Xin had implicated Zhai Yi in such an analogy! This really upset Zhai Yi.

Zhai Xin coaxed Miao Jing so much that she was overjoyed like a blooming flower. Laughing, she sat up in her bed full of spirit and instructed the auntie to purchase a whole bunch of fresh vegetables so that she could whip up a good meal for Zhai Xin. At that, Zhai Yi kicked Zhai Xin from behind. “Pig food?”

Zhai Xin rubbed on his bottom where Zhai Yi had kicked him. “Didn’t you say that I was in charge of coaxing grandma? If not, you can do it. How could you want to interfere with what I say in this difficult task of coaxing grandma? I’ll give you two choices. The first is that I’ll say whatever I want, and your opinions won’t matter. Secondly, you can you up. No can no bb.”

Did Zhai Yi think that he could be bullied easily just because he was the second child and Zhai Yi was the eldest? Did he think he could just act however he wanted? Did Zhai Yi expect to be both the good person and the bad person all at once? There was no way such a good deal could exist in the world!

Zhai Yi fell silent for a moment. “I dare you to repeat your last sentence when Mom returns!”

“...” Zhai Xin chuckled. “Do you really think I’m a fool? The three of us learned our foreign languages from master grandpa. Mom was by our side, supervising us the whole time. If I repeat those words, Mom will skin me alive.”

At that time, their mom had been upset for quite a while because of master grandpa’s death. Because they were still children then, they forgot things easily. No matter how upset they were, they would forget about it after crying for a while. But their mom was different. At that time, he clearly remembered that his mom had lost quite a few kilograms when two elders in their family passed away at the same time.

His mom had never been fat to begin with. When she brought them to school, those who did not know them personally even mistook them for siblings. Because of this, their mom did not even weigh forty kilograms at her lightest. As for someone of 1.6 meters, forty kilograms was way too light.

So it could be said that their grandma had been affected by how skinny their mom had gotten at that time. That was why she was devoted to fattening them up. After all these years, their mom had finally managed to regain weight after much difficulty and now weighed forty-five kilograms. This was all thanks to their grandma alone. Their grandma had spent more than ten years to help their mom regain these five kilograms.

It was true that she gained one kilogram every year.

Why was it harder for their mom to gain weight than it was for other women to lose weight?

It was exactly because they had such a deep impression of this experience that the three children were especially careful about mentioning the two elders. They feared that they would upset their elders at home.

But now, Zhai Xin had just spurted out a series of web slang in English because he was in a good mood. Zhai Xin did not dare to say that in front of his mom, as he was afraid of being punished by his mom.

Zhai Yi snorted. “Grandma will definitely cook a lot of dishes, so you had better eat more. Just wait and see what will happen if you don’t gain at least one kilogram after the new year.” Was their grandma so easily coaxed? The weighing scales in their house had all been purchased by their grandma while she had been trying to fatten Qiao Nan up. They were to get a gauge of their mom’s weight. Even if she could not fatten Qiao Nan up, at least, she could not let Qiao Nan lose any more weight.
