章 299: Chapter 289 Wasting Soup by Spilling It (New Year's Day Bonus Chapter)

Not until Shen Yunfang set a dish of jam in front of each child did the meal continue.

Tingting and Erni seemed to be in competition, grabbing fries from the table and dipping them into the jam before shoving them into their mouths, as if they were in a contest to see who could eat the most.

Shen Yunfang saw this but pretended not to, thinking that if their mothers didn't care, she shouldn't interfere. After all, she had already taken the small jar of jam, and there was only a little bit left at the bottom. Whoever ate faster would get it; there would be no more after that.

The meal proceeded intermittently until it was finished. Liu Shuli spoke little from the start to the end of the meal. After Shen Yunfang tried to engage her in conversation a couple of times and failed, she stopped initiating conversation. She talked quite a bit with Mrs. Wu about things in the family housing area instead.
