Chen Jianye, having a headache from all the noise, said,"It doesn't matter when, if he wants to eat, just let him."
At his words, Sanni's eyes lit up instantaneously.
With her dad around, her mom would often give her a taste.
Li Chunhua, with a touch of guilt on her face, responded, "You're about to sleep. And you've had plenty of wild boar today. You can eat the canned beef tomorrow."
She and Xiaobao had secretly eaten more than half the can already.
But Chen Xiaobao, the six-year-old rambunctious boy that he was, started rolling on the floor demanding, "I want to eat now! I want to eat now!"
Chen Jianye resisted the urge to smack his son, and motioned to Li Chunhua, "Just go get it."
Li Chunhua had no choice but to get up, retrieve the canned food from the cupboard, hand it to her son, and say, "Good boy, let's sit on the bed and eat."
Immediately, Chen Xiaobao stopped wailing and began to dig into the beef with his hands.
