It had been so long, and this was the first time Mother had hugged him, the first time she had kissed him.
She even allowed him to eat at the table.
Mother now... was truly so gentle and warm.
However, Grandpa had said that men and women should not be physically intimate.
Little Yue was a boy, so he could not let women kiss him casually.
But... but... it was Mother who had kissed him, so it should... should be all right, right?
Little Yue'er still wanted Mother to kiss him. He wanted her to always treat him this gently.
But he knew that was impossible.
As long as Mother did not scold or beat him, he was already very satisfied.
Grandpa had said that times were hard, and life was even harder for men. One had to know when to be content.
Su Qiao did not care at all about the expressions of the other two adults.
She happily picked up a piece of rabbit meat and put it in Little Yue'er's bowl. "Here, eat more meat."
"I... I only need one piece."
Little Yue'er was still blushing. The fear in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by bewilderment, and his voice grew slightly louder.
"How can one piece be enough?"
Su Qiao put another piece into his bowl. "You're at the age when your body is growing. If you eat too little, be careful you won't grow tall or strong."
"Yue'er can't eat too much. It wouldn't be good if he grew too strong."
Little Yue'er was somewhat confused. His thin, delicate face was filled with puzzlement.
"What's wrong with growing a little stronger?"
Su Qiao did not quite understand. She pointed her chopsticks at the man across from them. "Look at your father. He's tall, broad-shouldered, and handsome.
