Chapter 153 - Mama will become your assistant.
The aroma of flavours was already in the air. Dressed in a teal round neck, full-sleeved pullover Feng Shufen was already in his full form in the kitchen. A black apron tied around his neck was making him look much more handsome than any usual day. It\'s a truth universally accepted, \'Woman find men more charming in the kitchen!\'.
"Daddy Angel, I got the broccoli and carrots from the refrigerator. Should I bring some more?" The little girl came walking with her stubby legs, holding a small basket of vegetables in her small hands. Her little facial frame was all covered by the finely patterned jute basket in her hands.
After getting fresh with a warm water bath, Li Wei has come to accompany her Daddy Angel down to the kitchen, while Li Xue went to take her time in the washroom.
Hearing the little piece\'s voice from the side, Feng Shufen turned to look at her. The vegetable basket was really tough for her. Taking the basket from her hands, he kept it at the side of the counter. "That will be enough I think. I don\'t think your mother can eat that much" he replied, looking back at the little girl. His one hand resting lightly on the counter while the other one at the side of his hip.
Little Li Wei giggled lightly putting her hand over her lips. Her eyes turned slightly in the arc of the crescent moon. "Hehe … Daddy Angel, you still do not know how much Mama likes broccoli? She can have all of it all alone".
In front of him, her frame looked so small. She has to always strain her neck up to look at him and he couldn\'t help but just pick her up in his arms. Scooping her up in his arms, he brought her close to parallel to his height and asked once again, "Are you sure? Does your Mama really like broccoli that much?"
He asked, getting amused at the words of his little piece.? Li Wei nodded her head giving her affirmation to his words, "Hun hmm! Mama has always loved broccoli after me. She says it is quite healthy and I should love it too but I have always loved to have tofu instead".
"So you don\'t love broccoli?" he asked, getting surprised at the fact and the girl nodded at the fact. "I never like it", she added her words to support her gesture.
"Why do you not like it?" the man asked, getting a little curious to know the reason behind.
"Because it is a weird green colour. I don\'t like it but since Mama likes it so much I can\'t hate it too" she answered innocently, becoming all confident that her reason was the proper one to state.
"…" Hearing her words, the man paused in his thoughts. As a voice rang in his ears back from his memories \'Mother, why do you cook broccoli today? I don\'t like it. Please cook me something else. What about tofu? We can have that too\'. But before he could go any deep in those thoughts, the little girl snapped him back to reality.
Her hands went to hold his face lightly. At that soft touch, Feng Shufen\'s eyes went all soft and gentle. "Daddy Angel, will you not like me like before now? Do you want me to eat broccoli?" She asked innocently, an unknown fear making its existence in her crystal clear shining eyes.
The fear was too evident to the man\'s steel orbs. Shaking his head in denial, he spoke: "Why would I want you to have broccolis when I don\'t like its taste as well?"
The little eyes instantly turned to show the hints of joy. "Daddy Angel also does not like broccoli the same as me. Yayy!! I am now so much alike to my Daddy Angel", Li Wei squealed in happiness as her arms went to wrap itself around the man\'s neck all dearly.
Looking at her like that Feng Shufen\'s lips also tugged up a little. "Okay! Now let\'s cook. We need to prepare everything before the guests arrive" he said, looking all dearly at the little piece in his arms. This dear gaze of his was something new which has only come into existence from the moment his eyes have fallen on this mother-daughter duo.
Little Li Wei nodded and then asked, "Are we going to have guests for the dinner?" The voice has a little excitement within it.
The man didn\'t say anything, rather nodded to let her know the answer through his gesture. His eyes moved to look around the counter checking if everything was all ready for him to proceed.
"Daddy Angel, how should I help you?" the little girl asked, getting all enthusiastic in her tone. Her eyes glittering as her gaze also looked around to scan everything, same as her Handsome Daddy angel did moments before.
Feng Shufen turned to look at the little; his expression giving a pretense of thinking up in front. "Yes, you have great help to do. Come, sit here and help me look after the things I am going to prepare. I need a supervisor by my side. So be one for me till your Mama comes"
He said, placing Little Li Wei at the countertop, giving a light pat on her head. "Supervisor? Does that mean I have to look after you and also your every action minutely?" she asked, getting a little confused. She has never learnt the meaning of the word \'supervisor\' but breaking up the syllables she came to realize that she has heard the word \'supervise\' before.
Feng Shufen looked at her and then nodded in agreement. "But Daddy Angel, will that really help you?" the little girl asked, getting a little iffy, seeing so many vegetables yet to be chopped and cooked on the counter.
Feng Shufen looked at her and smiled internally. This little one is definitely no less than her mother. Was she planning to chop all those vegetables with her little hands?
"Be my supervisor and rest I can handle \'\', He assured, but the little girl still felt doubtful about the extra workload. She does not want her Daddy Angel to be too much jaded. So she added, "Okay, Daddy Angel I will be your supervisor and will ask Mama to become your assistor. Then it will not be hard for you".
Assistor!
Giving some thought to it, he finally understood the meaning she was trying to convey.
"WeiWei, the people who assist you are called \'assistant\'. Words have different forms and structures. The people who supervise us are called \'supervisors\'. The word forms are the same but their structures are different. Later I will find you a book to learn all these" He explained and then paused hearing the soft descending steps from the staircase.
