Chapter 383
Ye Ke asked, "What's wrong?" He reached back with his left hand anxiously to check on Tongtong's condition.
Tongtong said in a baby voice, "I'm so happy!"
Ye Ke raised the corner of his mouth, "Tongtong, what kind of food do you like to eat?"
Tongtong's excited voice came from behind, "I like them all!"
Her previous living environment made her content as long as she had food to eat, and she was not picky about food at all.
Ye Ke also expected this answer and did not ask any more questions, but he thought to himself that he might as well buy chicken legs. The children couldn't give the vegetables this name for no reason.
Sure enough, when they arrived at the braised food stall, Ye Ke asked Tongtong if there was anything she wanted to eat. Tongtong shook her head and obediently leaned against Ye Ke and said no.
Ye Ke asked the stall owner for eight chicken legs, and Tongtong's eyes were fixed on the chicken legs.
The child doesn't know how to hide his expression, and his eyes are shining.
Ye Ke deliberately moved the chicken leg from his left hand to his right hand, and Tongtong's eyes followed suit, without missing a step.
He swallowed suspiciously.
Even though he was so greedy, he didn't scream or cry.
Ye Ke asked her if there was anything else she wanted to eat.
Tongtong still answered no, so Ye Ke went to the restaurant next door and bought a tomato and egg dish and a sweet and sour pork tenderloin.
She had never eaten at this restaurant, so she could only choose dishes that were relatively unlikely to go wrong.
When they returned, Lele and Xiaofeng had already arrived home.
As soon as Lele opened the door and saw Ye Ke, she excitedly took the dishes from her hand, her big eyes twinkling as she showed Ye Ke the achievements she had made in school during this period.
Xiaofeng also shyly echoed from the side.
The director called out from the kitchen, and several children immediately ran over to serve the dishes. Due to height restrictions, the children who were not assigned to serve the dishes by the director followed behind the director, nagging her that she must serve the dishes when she grows up.
At the dinner table, Ye Ke saw that they were not taking the initiative to pick up the food, so he forced everyone to have a chicken leg, and then everyone started eating.
Especially Lele and Xiaofeng, two growing children, added three bowls of rice.
Seeing Ye Ke's shocked look, Lele rubbed her belly embarrassedly, her face flushed, and she whispered, "I don't know what's going on. I'm so hungry every day after school."
In the past, she could be full with just one bowl of rice each time.
Xiaofeng at the side also nodded. Although his face was almost buried in the bowl, Ye Ke could still see his embarrassment from his red ears.
"It's a good thing to be able to eat." Ye Ke scooped another spoonful of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and handed them to the two of them. She didn't mean to criticize them. She understood that mental work is also labor. Wasn't it the same when she was in school? Every day after school, she felt like she could eat a cow.
only......
"Is the money enough? Let's increase the food allowance every month so that they can all have enough to eat." Ye Ke took the initiative to mention this to the dean. She had not considered it carefully before. Children of this age should be raised as two or three at a time.
Since we have already decided to support them, there is no need to save this little money.
The dean immediately put down his chopsticks and waved his hands, repeatedly refusing, "That's enough, that's enough."
The money Ye Ke gave her was already abundant, and she also planted some vegetables in the yard and took on some manual work from time to time. Even though Lele and Xiaofeng had become bigger eaters now, it was just enough.
Ye Ke glanced at the menu for tonight. Since she had come so unexpectedly and had suddenly asked to stay for dinner, the dean had no time to go to the market to buy more vegetables, which gave him a better idea of the standard of their meals.
Excluding the three dishes that Ye Ke packed up, the dean prepared a total of seven dishes - two meat dishes, four vegetable dishes and one soup.
The two meat dishes were not large portions, but rather one dish of shredded pork with green peppers and one of sliced pork with oyster mushrooms.
The vegetarian dishes include stir-fried shredded potatoes, stir-fried carrots, stir-fried cauliflower, cold-mixed tomatoes, and cabbage soup.
Ye Ke asked Tongtong on the way, and Tongtong said that the director's grandmother would go to the market every morning to buy fresh vegetables as the day's meals, so if Ye Ke didn't come, these two meat dishes, four vegetable dishes and one soup would be the normal meals for the seven of them.
This amount is indeed a lot for an old man, four young children and two teenagers.
But it’s not nutritious enough.
Ye Ke didn't think the dean would be such a careless person. He thought that he didn't have enough money, so he reduced the amount of meat to improve the weight.
So before leaving, Ye Ke added some money to the dean's living expenses for this quarter and asked her to give the children more meals and tell her if it was not enough.
Ye Ke was not afraid at all that the dean would make a profit from the price difference. The dean was a person with great love, otherwise he would not have taken in so many children without hesitation.
Moreover, the dean remembered every account clearly, and there were even many expenses that were not recorded in the accounts, but were subsidized with his own money.
After Ye Ke explained the details in detail, he looked at the dean's gradually red eyes and ran away in a panic.
Alas, the dean is good in every way except that he is too polite. Every time she thanks him, she feels extremely nervous. How can a young person like her stand it?
After returning to the villa, Ye Ke was too lazy to move, so he called Ye Wenhui and Lin Shuwan to explain the situation over there, and said that he had secretly increased their living expenses without discussing it with them.
Ye Wenhui and Ye Ke were both annoyed. "Oh, how could I have forgotten? A child this age can bankrupt the family."
The sisters Ye Ke and Ye Rou are examples of this. They both eat a lot, and one of the reasons why the family’s financial situation was so tight was that they ate too much.
When Ye Ke and Ye Rou were eating their fill, Ye Wenhui would have to cook enough for seven people for their family of three.
Who can endure this?
It was because it had been a long time and Ye Wenhui had never stayed in the courtyard for dinner, so she overlooked this point.
Lin Shuwan has been very concerned about her appearance and figure since she was a child. Even during her growth period when her appetite increased greatly, she tried hard to control her appetite.
Lin Shuwan didn't understand, but she kindly agreed to pay more.
