"Mother, you're apologizing to me?" San Wa looked at his mother blankly.
"Mother made a mistake, so of course I need to apologize. Whether one is an adult or a child, it's the same. As long as one is in the wrong, they must have the courage to admit the mistake and apologize." Lin Qing He nodded.
"Then I forgive you, Mother," San Wa declared, staring at his mother with bright eyes.
"Then thank you, San Wa." Lin Qing He looked at him and said, "Since you don't like to drink milk anymore, then don't drink it."
"Really?" San Wa's eyes lit up.
"Really." Lin Qing He affirmed.
"I don't want to drink milk, however, I do want to eat milk mantou." San Wa watched his mother as he spoke.
"Sure." Lin Qing He inwardly uttered that milk mantou was deliberately made to torment you and unexpectedly you actually really like to have it.
San Wa was delighted.
He stuck to his mother for the whole day and didn't even go outside to play.
The next morning, Lin Qing He boiled milk, and then she added a little rock sugar in one share of the milk.
"Mother, you said you won't force me." San Wa bitterly stared at the milk in front of him and sulkily glanced at his mother.
"Have a taste." Lin Qing He gave him a spoonful.
San Wa looked at his mother and took this sip. Afterward, he blinked in surprise, "Sweet?"
"I added some sugar for you. Will you drink now? If you don't want to, I can give it to your father." Lin Qing He stated.
"I'll drink and give it another go." San Wa quickly said.
Lin Qing He passed the spoon to him and San Wa drank it by himself.
To say the extent of sweetness, it wasn't much. It was only a tiny bit of rock sugar added. Still, the sweetness was there. With such a little hint of sweetness, it was also very delicious.
San Wa fell in love right away. Eating mantou with sweet milk was such a pleasure. Where was the previous unwillingness and bitterness?
Seeing him like this, Lin Qing He internally smirked. She thought I can still sort you, little furry boy, out, no?
"Mother, I want mine to have sugar too," Er Wa said with envy.
"San Wa isn't afraid of tooth decay. If you don't want to have tooth decay like him, you can add it." Lin Qing He glanced at him.
Er Wa internally cried out that he was really not afraid of tooth decay, but seeing his mother's gaze, he knew that he would have no more milk to drink if he kept going.
So he obediently ate his share.
With the pure milk turned into sweet milk, San Wa liked to drink it. After finishing his half bowl of milk, he was still a little dissatisfied.
Lin Qing He didn't pay any heed to him. Finally, he drank milk.
Father Zhou and Mother Zhou can finally see another side of Fourth's wife.
Although she appeared harsh, she really spoiled the children. If they didn't like to drink pure, she can add sugar to it. The other children in the village have never got a taste of milk.
The mantou at home was cornmeal mantou. From the start, there wasn't much milk. Although they all have it, the amount wasn't much. Lin Qing He didn't want to make them because she bought the milk for her children to drink.
