Chapter 240: Tool

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Zou Bai was a little puzzled by his grandfather’s transference of her to the intelligence team. Moreover, it was so sudden. He had yet to see the transfer order for approval, but his grandfather was already in a hurry to get someone to return to Jingdu City.

Zou Bai had started taking over these forces two years ago. Unless there were special circ.u.mstances, his grandfather would not interfere directly like this. “I understand. You can leave.”

Yu Hong respectfully took a few steps back and turned to leave.

Zou Bai lowered his eyes, his thumb rubbing the key part of his index finger.

A few minutes later, Zou Bai saw a pair of fair and slender hands appear in his line of sight. They placed a bowl of chicken soup in front of the table and he came back to his senses. He looked up and saw Jiang An leaning over to ladle soup. He quickly said, “Thank you.”

Jiang An smiled and joked, “You’re welcome. You’re quite confident in me. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell everyone what I heard?”

Zou Bai smiled nonchalantly. “Then you can give it a try. Let’s see who will pay the price if this information leaks out.”

“Besides, you don’t have any reason to do anything bad to me. Even if you let me stay and just be a money-earning tool for Jiang Yu and Jiang Yi, it’s also good, right?”

After saying that, Zou Bai looked at Jiang An with a faint smile.

Jiang An suddenly remembered that the two of them were no longer purely friends. Her little face turned red as she glared at Zou Bai. “Drink your soup, tool.”

Zou Bai looked at Jiang An’s amused expression and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He saw that Jiang An was wearing disposable gloves and preparing to tear the chicken for Jiang Yi. She used a small pair of scissors to cut large pieces of food into smaller bits.

Zou Bai also took out a pair of gloves and put them on. “Eat first. Just tell me what to do. I’ll do it.”

Jiang An looked at Zou Bai in surprise. Many men felt that it was difficult to take care of children. They would run if they could. It was rare to see a father as enthusiastic as Zou Bai. “Let me do it. If you’re not familiar with it, it’ll take a long time.”

Zou Bai did not stop just because Jiang An rejected him. When he saw Jiang An putting the chicken that Jiang Yi wanted to eat and some pieces of food into Jiang Yi’s special bowl, he started to tear the chicken into strips using his hands. “No one knows how to do it from the beginning. Just let me learn and practice a few more times, and I’ll be able to do it.”

Jiang Yi looked at Zou Bai for a few seconds, then reached out his small hand to take the meat in the bowl and started eating.

Seeing this, Zou Bai asked curiously, “I’ve checked before. The baby can slowly eat this food when he’s about one year old. Why was Little Feather only given meat paste last time?”

Jiang An didn’t expect Zou Bai to be so meticulous. She explained to him, “Little Feather’s teeth haven’t developed very well, and she doesn’t have many teeth. She can’t really eat these, so I’ll add only a little chewable food for her for dinner so that she can practice her biting ability.”

When Jiang An saw Jiang Yi picking only the meat to eat, she deliberately said with a straight face, “Jiang Yi, don’t just eat meat. Even when you’re eating yourself, you must remember to take the vegetables. You can’t be picky, or you won’t grow tall.”

Jiang Yi’s hand that was holding the meat paused for a moment. He did not believe this at all. After all, there was a living example in front of him.

His sister was not picky about food. She ate whatever she was given. In the end, she was neither smarter nor taller than him. She only relied on her weight advantage to have more strength than him. Therefore, Jiang Yi felt that the adults were lying to children. However, he was still young. It was useless to resist.

Jiang Yi pursed his lips and looked at the pile of vegetables beside him for a long time. In the end, he reluctantly picked the smallest broccoli and stuffed it into his mouth. Then, he quickly took a piece of shredded meat and stuffed it into his mouth to suppress the taste.

This action made Zou Bai laugh. Jiang An said helplessly, “Every time I make him eat vegetables, he acts like he’s been sentenced.”

Zou Bai smiled and explained, “That’s because babies’ taste buds are more sensitive than adults’, especially to bitterness. We can’t taste the bitterness in many vegetables, but it will become especially obvious in their mouths. Coupled with the lack of seasoning, the bitterness will magnify.”

Jiang Yi couldn’t completely understand Zou Bai’s words, but he could tell that he was speaking up for him. His eyes sparkled, and his impression of the uncle in front of him increased a little. It wasn’t easy for someone to help him, so he hurriedly echoed, “Vegetables are bitter.”

This was the first time Jiang An had heard of such an explanation. An awkward expression appeared on her face. “Little Wingsy said twice in the past that he thought the vegetables were bitter. I saw that Little Feather ate quite well, so I thought it was an excuse.”

Jiang An turned to look at Jiang Yi apologetically. “Son, I’m sorry. I thought you were lying..”
