Chapter 24: This is the Scent of a Man
Shen Meng gave most of the dinner sent by Zhou Jiaojiao to the children, half an egg per child, without favoring anyone because of their age. She herself drank half a bowl of cornmeal lumps soup.
The act touched Lu Mingkai and Lu Mingfang immensely. Lu Mingfang directly placed her portion of the egg in front of Shen Meng.
"Mom, you eat it. I'm not hungry!"
"Mine for mom too, Xiao Kai is also not hungry."
"Xiao Kai is such a good boy, Mingfang you eat. Mom had mung bean soup in the afternoon, I'm not hungry at all. Your Fourth Uncle has boiled some water, tonight use the washbasin to all wash up, later I'll find a carpenter to make a bigger basin specifically for Mingfang."
A young girl needs to pay attention to hygiene from a young age. It was alright not to have formed this habit before, but since she has come, she has to take better care of the girl. If not cared for well when young, she will suffer when she grows up.
"Mom, I won't wash. You don't understand, this is the smell of a man, it will be gone if I wash." Lu Mingliang, seeing her in a good mood and speaking kindly to his siblings, also boldly spoke up for himself, truly not wanting to bathe.
"No way, it's so hot, how can you sleep without bathing? Properly smell yourself, is that the smell of a man? That's the smell of sweat."
"Hehe, second brother stinky."
