Build One for You and One for Me (2)
Jiang Xiaoman said, âGrandma, if I get any fatter, I wonât look good anymore.â
âWho said so? Youâd obviously be prettier.â
âMy waist is thick, my legs are thick, my arms are fat, and my face is round.â
âIsnât this fine? Your uniformâs trousers are so big, how could you not fit inside?â
â...!â Was this a question of whether she could fit or not? This was clearly a question of whether she would look beautiful or not!
Jiang Xiaoman said righteously, âGrandma, I canât eat anymore. I have gained five pounds.â
Her usual metabolism was very good. Even though she ate a lot, her body did not get fat at all. Her limbs were slender and her body was graceful.
Even if she gained five pounds, it wouldnât affect her.
But, she loved being pretty!
Jiang Xiumeiâs persuasion was fruitless. She couldnât force Jiang Xiaoman, so she could only focus on the other child.
Jiang Xiaoman didnât need to be given any more tonics, so letâs do Jiang Xing next.
Jiang Xing was such a big person, and he was usually too busy to take care of himself. Look at him, he was all haggard now.
Jiang Xiumei, who had found a new goal, finally let go of Jiang Xiaomanâs beautiful waist, and was ready to replenish her sonâs body.
On the first day, stewed chicken kidneys.
The next day, steamed pork kidneys.
On the third day, oyster soup.
Fourth day... On the fourth day, Jiang Xing did not eat it.
He pretended to leave it for later, not daring to refuse Jiang Xiumeiâs kindness right in front of her.
Jiang Xiumei didnât think much and let him go.
After he left, Jiang Xing said to Jiang Xiaoman bitterly, âXiaoman, why donât you come and eat it?â
âHuh? Me?â Jiang Xiaoman looked confused, âbut Grandma said that this was specially made for you.â
Then...
From that day on, the soup that Jiang Xiumei gave to Jiang Xing were handled by Jiang Xiaomanâall went into Yu Qingshiâs stomach.
One bowl of nutritious soup came everyday at a regular time.
Yu Qingshi was also very obedient, and ate whatever Jiang Xiaoman gave him.
There was one thing that Jiang Xiaoman was very curious about.
Grandma said that this soup was nourishing and good for the body, but why did Yu Qingshi not look fat at all after eating it for so long?
However, it might also be because he was too thin, so she couldnât see the difference with just a few extra kilograms.
Jiang Xiaoman asked him, âAre you getting fat?â
Yu Qingshi: â...No.â
âI donât believe it. Letâs go and weigh you.â
Jiang Xiaoman insisted so much that Yu Qingshi couldnât help but go on the scale under her supervision, and found that he really didnât gain any weight. His weight was still the same, there was no change at all. If we had to talk about changes, he actually lost two catties.
Jiang Xiaoman began to worry again, and at the same time she was very envious of Yu Qingshiâs stomach. It was really great that he could eat so much and not gain any weight.
âDonât you feel anything special after you eat so much nourishing soup?â
â...No.â
He did.
But Yu Qingshi didnât know how to say it.
He found it very difficult to talk about. He hesitated for a while, and decided that it was better not to say anything.
It might also just be himself that was too depraved, so this was his own issue.
Yu Qingshi was silent. Jiang Xiaoman felt that his physique was probably special, so from then on, she fed him the tonic soup even more.
Therefore, under Jiang Xiaomanâs efforts, on a hot afternoon, Yu Qingshi lay on top of the table and had a nosebleed4.
Footnote:
3. The last one isnât actually a real lionâs head, but the name of a meatball dish (usually made from pork).
4. The ingredients Jiang Xiumei used, kidneys and oysters, are good for male vitality/yang energy. Thatâs why Yu Qingshi accumulated too much heat in his body and ended up with a nosebleed. Poor lad thought he was somehow getting more depraved ^_*
