Chapter 202 Good boy, call me "Mama" one more time!
Li Mo'er didn't eat at Yingkelou; she packed the food in a bamboo tube and took it back to her residence.
She thought that her husbands at home might be waiting for her to come back, since they had always waited for her to return before eating.
Although she always told them not to wait for her, they stubbornly waited.
However, when Li Mo'er arrived at the dining hall this time, she found that the table had already been cleaned up.
???
Li Mo'er stood awkwardly by the table with the food in her hands. She touched her nose and placed the food on the table by herself, feeling lonely.
As Li Mo'er ate, she wondered if she had upset them, which was why they hadn't waited for her.
But it was actually Shen Zicen who suggested that Mo'er wouldn't be coming back tonight, which is why they started eating.
Li Mo'er ate slower and slower, and couldn't help but reflect on herself. On the one hand, she felt that they were starting to know how to take care of their bodies, and on the other hand, she felt empty inside.
Especially when you're facing this big table all by yourself.
"Young master, slow down."
When Li Mo'er heard Shen Qi's voice, she looked up and saw Shen Qi following cautiously behind Yunzhi, as if afraid that he would fall and get hurt.
Yunzhi chuckled and ran towards the dining hall.
Shen Qi followed closely behind Yunzhi. Yunzhi originally came back to find his toy car, but when he saw Li Mo'er, he ran towards her.
That little toy car was a carriage woven from willow branches by Uncle Li, which Yunzhi always loved. He didn't know why he left it in the dining hall this time.
Yunzhi stretched out her arms, her eyes curved into little crescents, and her two newly grown baby teeth were showing.
Shen Qi was somewhat surprised to see Li Mo'er eating, but then picked up Yunzhi.
"Young master, be good~ Let Madam Li eat first."
Yunzhi pouted unhappily, kicking her little feet, clearly wanting to get down.
Seeing Yunzhi staring at her expectantly, Li Mo'er reached out and took Yunzhi from her.
"I'll hold him."
Yunzhi sat in Li Moer's lap and saw the food on the table.
He sniffed hard, pointed at the vegetables with his chubby little hand, then pointed to his mouth, and exclaimed, "Ahhh!"
Li Mo'er was amused by Yunzhi. He now has a few baby teeth and can eat some complementary foods like eggs, but Yanli never lets him eat the meat on the table.
"Yunzhi, call me Mother, and I'll let you have a taste."
Upon hearing Li Mo'er speak, Yunzhi's gaze shifted from the table to Li Mo'er's face, his eyes revealing seriousness.
He only knew that his mother was opening her mouth to speak, but he didn't understand what it meant.
Li Mo'er patiently repeated, "Mother~"
Yunzhi seemed to understand this time; he was supposed to learn to speak from his mother. So, with his finger in his mouth, he mumbled, "Liang~ cough~"
Li Mo'er never expected Yunzhi to speak. Su Yanli had been teaching him for a long time, but he didn't speak, only expressing his needs with "uh-huh" and "ah".
Li Mo'er excitedly hugged Yunzhi and rubbed her cheek against his.
"Good girl, say it again, 'Mama~'"
Unexpectedly, Yunzhi ignored her, stubbornly pointing at the dish with his finger, his eyes fixed on it, and drool dripping from the corner of his mouth.
Li Mo'er didn't dare to actually give Yunzhi any meat. She had someone bring her a chopstick and lightly dipped it into the broth of the braised pork.
When Yunzhi saw it, he reached out to grab it, but Li Mo'er dodged it.
She wiped the excess soup from the chopsticks onto the rice before carefully bringing it to Yunzhi's lips.
"Smack—smack—"
Yunzhi's eyes lit up instantly when he tasted the broth. He kept smacking his chopsticks, and even when it lost its flavor, he refused to give up.
"It really has no flavor left," Yunzhi frowned, then pushed Li Mo'er's hand away and pointed to the plate of braised pork.
This time, Li Mo'er didn't dip her chopsticks in the food. Instead, she put them aside and started eating heartily.
Sure enough, the meal tasted better when someone was with you.
Every time Li Mo'er took a bite, Yunzhi would open his mouth wide and keep making "ah ah" noises when the chopsticks came back.
When he saw that each bite was going into Li Mo'er's mouth, he let out a soft hum.
Then, when the next bite came, he reached out and grabbed the rice.
Fortunately, Li Mo'er reacted quickly and prevented Yunzhi from succeeding.
Yunzhi started whimpering, preparing herself to have a good cry so her father would scold her.
However, as soon as Li Mo'er saw Yunzhi's wrinkled expression, she knew he was about to cry.
So he picked up his chopsticks, and when Yunzhi saw that they were his, his mood immediately brightened.
He stared longingly at the chopstick, and when it landed in the soup, he couldn't help but chuckle and clap his hands excitedly, his little feet wiggling incessantly.
When Li Mo'er put the chopsticks to his mouth, his saliva started flowing again, and he even leaned closer to the chopsticks himself.
Li Mo'er suddenly pulled her chopsticks back, "Call me 'Mother!'"
Yunzhi's eyes were only on the broth, and he obediently repeated, "Cool~ Refreshing~"
There were no fingers in his mouth. Although it wasn't perfect, it was much better than last time.
Only then did Li Mo'er finally give the chopsticks to Yunzhi to try, completely satisfied.
Shen Qi found Li Mo'er's way of disciplining the young master somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite place where he had seen it before.
After a meal, Yunzhi now immediately calls out "Mother" to Li Mo'er whenever he sees her holding a chopstick, without her prompting him.
Li Mo'er and Yunzhi both enjoyed the meal.
Shen Qi, however, was somewhat worried that Su Lang might blame Li Niangzi if he found out.
