Knowing full well it couldn’t resist the temptation of roasted meat, why did she grill so much? Wasn’t it intentional?

Little Fox grumbled in its heart but didn’t dare say it out loud. Otherwise, Jiang Xue would definitely have a bone to pick with it. Maybe she’d never give it roasted meat again.

That would be more harm than good, so any complaints were best kept silent, lest this woman caught onto them.

Jiang Xue watched Little Fox fall silent, felt satisfied, tidied up the kitchen a bit, then went to take a shower, changed clothes, and went to sleep. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

And so, she slept until past nine the next morning. As for Little Reunion, he had long been awake, but Little Fox, fearing he’d get hungry, gave him some bamboo marrow to fill his belly.

Father Jiang and Mrs. Jiang were informed by Jiang Xue in advance that she might wake up late today, so they didn’t wake her up and let her sleep in.

Thus, when Jiang Xue woke up, her son was playing with Little Fox and the others.

Upon opening her eyes and seeing the time, Jiang Xue saw it was already nine o’clock, and she couldn’t help but worry about her son’s stomach. So, after waking up, she took Little Reunion out of the room, went to the bathroom to freshen up, and went downstairs still in her pajamas.

Downstairs, Father Jiang was reading the newspaper while Mrs. Jiang was watching tv. Though both were busy with their own tasks, they kept their ears peeled for any activity upstairs.

As soon as they heard footsteps, they almost immediately paused what they were doing and turned their gaze toward the staircase.

Seeing Jiang Xue come down with Little Reunion in her arms, they both stood up from the sofa, one stepping up to take the child, the other heading to the kitchen to bring out breakfast.

Jiang Xue handed her son over to Father Jiang and then headed to the kitchen. Seeing her come in, Mrs. Jiang couldn’t help but start to nag, saying, "Xue’er, really. It’s fine for you to sleep this late, but you shouldn’t let Little Reunion go hungry."

Now that Little Reunion rarely drank milk and had three meals a day like the rest of them, he usually had breakfast a bit past seven, but today it was delayed to after nine, over an hour late. No wonder he was hungry.

Jiang Xue realized she hadn’t thought things through and humbly accepted her mother’s criticism. Fortunately, Mrs. Jiang didn’t say much more and quickly brought out Little Reunion’s breakfast.

Today, Niu prepared wontons for Little Reunion. As Mrs. Jiang was about to feed him personally, he refused.

He motioned for Mrs. Jiang to place it on his special small chair, then he sat in the chair and began eating.

Since her son didn’t need her attention at mealtime, Jiang Xue then brought out her own breakfast, preserved egg, and lean meat porridge, along with two fried breadsticks.

After breakfast, Jiang Xue took her son out for a walk to digest the food, then brought him to his usual play area. They circled back, and it was already past eleven, time for lunch again.

But Jiang Xue didn’t feel hungry at all since she’d eaten breakfast so late. However, everyone else couldn’t postpone their lunch just because of her.

Unable to eat, Jiang Xue only had a few bites of food. But Little Reunion, having played all morning, was not just tired but hungry, so he ate quite a bit at noon.

Seeing Jiang Xue take only a few bites, Mrs. Jiang was instantly displeased and said, "Xue’er, you should get up at a regular time in the future."

Waking up late not only messes up your daily routine but also leads to irregular eating habits. Over time, it’s hard to imagine your body not falling apart.
