Listening to the sour words from the in-law, Mother Cheng only felt it was unbearable and slightly pressed her lips, holding back her temper.
"It’s not that I’m boasting, but I haven’t seen a child as smart and sensible as our Xiao Qi." Mother Cheng put down the spoon and looked at Father Qi, saying, "How about you try feeding him?"
Father Qi was quite intrigued, imitating her actions. Having seen his wife’s failure, he didn’t dare to use his mouth to test the temperature, just cooled it down before giving it to the grandson, who readily accepted it and ate with an open mouth.
Mother Cheng proudly lifted her chin, looking at Mother Qi. Her gaze almost said, "This is speaking with facts."
Mother Qi felt increasingly embarrassed.
"Actually, despite the child being young, his ears are clear, and his eyes are sharp. He’s aware of everything he sees and hears. Since he started eating solid food, his mother has always emphasized not to chew food with the mouth before feeding the child, saying it has bacteria that can infect the child. Kids have weak immunity; if unfortunately caught, they will get sick and so on." Mother Cheng explained, "I felt very defiant at that time, saying we fed them like this countless times in their childhood, didn’t we raise them big this way?"
Mother Qi’s face slightly brightened and said, "Right? Didn’t they all grow up tall and strong? If you don’t test the hot or cold, what if it’s too hot or cold? The child’s throat is small, and if the food is hard or too chunky, wouldn’t he choke?"
"Exactly, exactly; I also said that. Cheng Su said all eating should be gradual. Nowadays, look at the porridge; it’s so soft and silky, almost like rice cooked with more water, convenient for him to eat. People now are more particular, quite different from our time. Cheng Su emphasizes all this for the child’s benefit. It’s not just me; even she doesn’t dare to taste with the mouth before feeding. With all this back and forth, Xiao Qi knows that he won’t eat food that others taste." Mother Cheng said with a laugh, complimenting, "Looking at his temper, he’s just like his father, stubborn."
