Chapter 19 Cooking for Little Sizi
After finishing a bottle of Wahaha, Xiao Sizi was still a little unsatisfied. It was the first time she had tasted something so sweet and sour, and one bottle really wasn't enough.
"Brother, do you still want to drink more, haha!" Little Sizi held up the empty bottle in front of Lin Fan, her little face full of anticipation.
Lin Fan took out his phone and checked the time. It was almost eleven o'clock, lunchtime. Worried that Xiao Sizi might drink too much and not be able to eat, Lin Fan shook his head and firmly refused, "No, Sizi, be good. You can only have one bottle today!"
"Oh, okay!" Little Sizi looked a little disappointed upon hearing this, lowered her head, and pouted, looking unhappy.
"It's time for lunch. I'm going to cook something delicious for you later. If you drink too much, you won't be able to eat, and I'll be sad!" Lin Fan could only patiently comfort him.
"Hey, I'm not drinking anymore, don't be sad, bro! What's so good about it?" Hearing that there was something delicious, Xiao Sizi jumped into Lin Fan's arms, looked up at him, and her face was full of curiosity.
"What does Sizi like to eat?"
"Youyou, you're my favorite!" Little Sizi immediately replied.
"Okay! Then I'll cook you some meat later. I'm not bragging, but my cooking skills are unmatched by most people!" Lin Fan said confidently and calmly.
"Really? It's really seven, a lot more!" Little Sizi exaggeratedly waved his hands and gestured around.
"Absolutely!"
"Okay, then I'll go cook first, you just sit here obediently!" After saying that, Lin Fan carried Xiao Sizi to the sofa.
"I'll go too! I can help you, bro!" Si Zi volunteered and slipped off the sofa to go with Lin Fan.
Seeing this, Lin Fan immediately stopped him. He dared not let Xiao Sizi help him; if she got even a minor bump or bruise, he would be heartbroken.
"Just sit here quietly and wait for dinner, okay?"
"But it's so boring sitting here!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Fan didn't have a good solution for a moment. As he turned his head, he inadvertently saw a TV series that hadn't been used in a long time on the TV cabinet opposite him, and his eyes lit up.
"If Sizi gets bored, how about watching TV?"
"What's a TV?" Xiao Sizi had completely forgotten what Lin Fan had told him when he first arrived.
"Hey! Sizi asked her brother about this before, have you forgotten so quickly?" Lin Fan raised his hand and pointed forward.
Seeing the direction Lin Fan was pointing, Xiao Sizi nodded: "Oh~ I kind of remember now! But it's black, not pretty!"
"Hehe, that's easy. Wait a minute, I'll turn it on for you right away!" Lin Fan said, immediately looking for the remote control, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find it.
"Huh, where did I put it? I remember putting it on the coffee table when I was tidying up, how come it's not here!" Lin Fan put one hand on his hip and scratched his head anxiously.
"What is Guoguo looking for?" Xiao Sizi looked at Lin Fan with a puzzled expression.
"Brother is looking for the remote control. It's a small, black, rectangular box with lots of buttons on it!" Although Xiao Sizi didn't know, Lin Fan still gave a simple description.
Little Sizi seemed to understand what he meant, then reached down and touched his bottom: "Brother, is this what you mean?"
Lin Fan turned to look at what Xiao Sizi was holding: "Hey, Sizi, where did you find this?"
"Since my husband isn't here, I haven't seen this before. I played with it for a while." Xiao Sizi looked a little embarrassed.
Looking at Xiao Sizi's expression, Lin Fan could roughly understand: "Oh, I see. That's alright then. But from now on, Sizi, remember to put things back where you took them from!"
"Okay, the machine's here!" Xiao Sizi nodded and handed the remote control to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan took the remote control and studied it briefly. He couldn't even remember the last time he watched TV.
Since mobile internet has become increasingly developed, his family's TV has hardly ever been turned on, which led to Lin Fan not knowing how to operate it for a while. After fiddling with it for a while, he finally plugged in the TV power and turned it on. Then he pressed a button on the remote control, and the TV screen lit up immediately.
"Wow! It's lit up!" Little Sizi clapped his hands happily.
"It's been sitting unused for so long, thankfully it's not broken! Looks like I'll have to find a chance to replace all these old things!" Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
The TV signal was fine, and soon the picture and sound came through. It was showing the midday news, and Lin Fan was worried that Xiao Sizi wouldn't understand it, so he immediately changed the channel.
"There's someone talking inside the box!" Little Sizi stared wide-eyed, her face filled with disbelief.
"Yeah, wait a minute, I'll find you a good-looking one!" Lin Fan said without turning his head.
As Lin Fan switched channels one by one, he noticed that there was a channel playing "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties," but he quickly skipped over it. After a while, he finally found a channel that was playing "Boonie Bears."
"Sizi, why don't you watch this for a bit first!"
"Bear Big, Bear Big... Bald Qiang is cutting down trees again!" came the silly voice of Bear Two from the TV.
"Wow! This big bear can talk!" Little Sizi stared intently at the TV, pointing at the bear on screen.
"Yes, the big bear can talk. Won't Sizi be scared?" Lin Fan asked quickly, worried that Sizi might be frightened by something beyond her comprehension, since it was her first time seeing something like this.
Little Sizi quickly shook his head: "With my patron here, I'm not afraid at all!"
Lin Fan watched as Xiao Sizi's expression changed with the TV drama, but she didn't show any fear. He then patted her head and said, "Sizi, you watch for a bit. I'll go make you something delicious, okay?"
"Okay." Little Sizi stared at the TV without blinking and waved her chubby little hand.
Seeing Xiao Sizi's reaction, Lin Fan suddenly felt a little regretful, a helpless smile on his face. He never thought he would be jealous of the TV! Without thinking about it any further, he shook his head and walked towards the kitchen.
Little Sizi, of course, had no idea what Lin Fan was thinking at the moment; she was completely captivated by the two bears on TV.
Upon arriving in the kitchen, Lin Fan opened the refrigerator's crisper drawer to check the meat and vegetables stored that morning. He took out a piece of lean meat, two tomatoes, a few bell peppers, and some bok choy as well.
His cooking skills are only considered beginner level in his family, but when you're away from home, you have to rely on your own skills. The only dish he can be proud of is scrambled eggs with tomatoes, nothing else, just because it's simple.
However, since Xiao Sizi was present today, and in order to make the dishes taste even better, Lin Fan decisively took out his phone and searched for a few tutorials online.
It was fortunate that Xiao Sizi didn't know how to use a mobile phone or go online, otherwise, if she had seen this scene, Lin Fan's image would have collapsed instantly.
Lin Fan worked for almost half an hour, making a clattering sound in the kitchen as he moved pots and pans. Afraid that Xiao Sizi would be hungry, Lin Fan could only try to speed things up.
Xiao Sizi kept glancing sideways from the sofa outside, but the kitchen door was closed, so she didn't know what was going on. Although her stomach had been rumbling several times, she couldn't bear to urge Lin Fan.
With a "sizzle," the kitchen door finally opened, and Lin Fan carefully walked out, carrying two full plates in both hands.
"Time to eat, Sizi."
"It smells so good!" Little Sizi has a keen nose. As soon as Lin Fan brought out the dishes, she smelled the aroma. The bear on TV suddenly didn't smell good anymore. She quickly wiggled her little bottom and slid off the sofa, running quickly to the dining table with her short legs.
