After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

Chapter 1676 Little Picky Eater

"Look at how excited the child is! Yuan Yuan's favorite food is fish, right? Great-grandfather will cook fish for you! Tuan Tuan, you can't be picky about food. Fish is good for you!" After Qiao Qiang said that, he skewered all the fish with a tree branch and brought them back to the warehouse to clean them.

At the moment, the two children could already eat mashed up solid food. The adults could feed the children some fish if they mashed the fish meat up. Actually, Qiao Mei had always thought that children could get enough nutrition from drinking powdered milk. In her other life, children mostly just drank powdered milk.

However, the milk powder sold in this era was not so nutritious yet. Feng Hua would make different kinds of solid food for the children. She also used a notebook to write down what the children could and could not eat. She even noted her observations of the children's poop every day, in case the children fell sick and the doctors wanted to know such details.

Initially, the family members thought that Feng Hua's salary was a little too high, but from all the efforts which she put in, Qiao Mei felt that she was still paying Feng Hua too little! It was really rare to find a person who had such knowledge when taking care of kids, especially in this era.

Qiao Mei had asked Xia Fang about feeding the children solid food. Xia Fang also agreed with Feng Hua and said such food would supplement the children's nutrition and let them grow more healthily.

Xia Xing was not a picky eater and ate everything she was given. Xia Fan, on the other hand, was the kind of child who made people worry. He did not want to eat other types of food and only wanted to drink powdered milk. No matter what kind of solid food he was given, he did not want to swallow it. After a few days, he had lost a lot of weight.

Although everyone's hearts ached for him, they still had to think of ways to make him eat the solid food. This was because he would eventually need to be weaned off milk! No matter how unwilling he was, he had to try his best to accept the food.

"The two of you must be good kids and don't cause trouble! It wasn't easy for Great-grandfather to catch the fish!" Qiao Mei said as she held the two children's hands.

Chi Ze and the others bought an entire truckload of things. They looked like they were going to move here to stay. However, these men all had big appetites. It did not take long for them to polish off one whole lamb.

"Go deep into the mountains to throw away these bones later. The wild animals inside will come out to eat when they smell it. We don't have much time today. If there's a chance in the future, I'll bring you all here to hunt!" Qiao Qiang said excitedly.

When Qiao Qiang was young, he had gone off to war. At that time, there was nothing to eat in the forest and they had to hunt for food themselves. During the most difficult times, they even had to eat grass roots! It was considered a very sumptuous meal if they could find one or two rats!

"Grandfather, civilians are not allowed to handle guns and dangerous weapons nowadays…" Qiao Mei came to Qiao Qiang's side and whispered to him.

"We'll use slingshots!" Qiao Qiang said.

"Slingshot? Are you able to use a slingshot to kill those fierce animals?" Qiao Mei asked curiously.

Qiao Mei had only heard of people using slingshots to hit birds, but not of anyone using slingshots to hit large wild beasts. Were they supposed to use slingshots to blind those ferocious beasts and then jump on the beasts to beat them to death with their fists?

It ended up that Qiao Mei's guess was correct. Qiao Qiang really intended to do this. Previously, she had already heard stories about Qiao Qiang from Xia Jun.

One time, Qiao Qiang had led a team deep into the mountains to hide from the enemy troops. That mountain was easy to defend but difficult to attack. Not only was there a swamp inside, but there were also many ferocious wild animals. The enemy troops could only surround them outside, but could not enter the mountain area to capture them. Earlier, the enemy troops had even thought of setting fire to the mountain to force them out.

However, if the fire started spreading, the enemy troops would not be able to get out either, so they intended to trap Qiao Qiang and his team in the forest and wait until the whole team starved to death.

The entire team did not have any food left, not even water. At that time, everyone was so hungry that they could not take it anymore. A few of their comrades had already fainted.

When Qiao Qiang saw this, he did not say anything and just walked away silently. He was gone the entire afternoon. As night fell, Xia Jun was so anxious that he gathered a few people and wanted to go and look for Qiao Qiang. Just as they were about to set off, they saw Qiao Qiang coming back, covered in blood and lugging a deer. That deer was their only source of food for a while. From then on, they took turns to go hunting and managed to last for more than a month in the mountains.

"Really?" Chi Ze asked Qiao Qiang agitatedly.

"Of course. My grandfather is super capable. He just doesn't tell you about many things!" Qiao Mei said proudly.

"Can you tell me how to do it? Do you have any tips?" Chi Ze asked.
