Chapter 24: Chapter 024 Outshined by His Dad

"Old Xie, you're up!"

After sending off a few older kids to school, Zhang Shan Ni just got back to the kitchen and saw Xie Tiesheng and Xie Jingchen sitting opposite each other eating breakfast. She happily greeted the elder first, without even giving Xie Jingchen a glance, and excitedly went to the small pot to pick up the spicy and sour potato strips she made after Mrs. Xie left.

It was because of this dish that the three boys had their bellies full before grabbing their backpacks and heading off. She followed them all the way, worried until she saw their faces only showing satisfaction without any signs of discomfort, then she turned back.

After making it, she purposely divided it into two portions: one for the growing boys as a supplement, and the other for her future in-laws and husband.

"Old Xie, try this with your porridge, it's really appetizing."

Xie Tiesheng looked at Third Son's Wife in surprise, glanced at Third Son gripping his chopsticks tightly, and obediently picked up some with his chopsticks. He was immediately conquered by the refreshingly spicy taste and said with satisfaction, "Indeed, not bad!"

At that time, the spicy and sour taste was not popular locally, and in that era, having food to eat was already good, taste was just the icing on the cake. People pursued filling their stomachs above all.

Therefore, Xie Tiesheng genuinely took the time to taste the special dish Zhang Shan Ni brought. He, being an old man with a preference for strong flavors, found the novel sour and not-too-spicy flavor quite to his liking. freёwebnovel.com

Moreover, how could he, as a father, not understand his own son? Xie Tiesheng glanced somewhat proudly at his third son, savoring his breakfast with pleasure.

Hearing this, Zhang Shan Ni smiled. This gesture from Old Xie made her feel even more a sense of belonging—just like her own dad loved to have that with his porridge in the morning, and now so did Father Xie! It's a pity there wasn't any meat here; with some sliced meat, it would have been even tastier!

She happily watched Old Xie enjoying his meal, only then realizing Mrs. Xie was not around. She turned her head and asked Xie Jingchen, "Brother Chen, where's mom?"

"..." Xie Jingchen widened his eyes, realizing Zhang Shan Ni cared more about his parents than him, he felt a bit stunned. Was this black-skinned girl trying to please the wrong person?

She was too blunt about it, wasn't it? Waited until Old Xie ate almost half the plate of spicy and sour potato strips before she noticed his existence? And realizing his mom wasn't there?

"Your mom went to feed the chickens and pigs, don't wait for her, you better eat quickly and head to the town, today is market day, it will be crowded."

"Okay." Seeing Old Xie gave the order, the starry-eyed, admiring black girl obediently agreed.

Zhang Shan Ni immediately picked up one of the bowls of watery rice and started to drink it up, seeing Xie Jingchen looking at her a bit dazed. She looked down at herself, nothing was off. She looked back puzzled, her face almost spelling out: What's the matter?

"Cough." Xie Jingchen suddenly snapped back to reality, lowering his head to drink his porridge.

He would absolutely not admit it, was he outdone by his old man? Yes!
