Chapter 528 Don't they have arms? Why don't they do it themselves?
Ning Yao gave her grilled sweetfish to Ning Chen, because there were only two servings of grilled sweetfish, and the quantity was small, with each fish weighing only about thirty grams.
Ning Yao smiled at Ning Chen and pointed to the swim bladder of the grilled sweetfish.
"This fish is a wild fish from the stream in R country. It has not been processed in any way and has a pure, natural flavor."
"Ah Chen, take the first bite from the belly part."
Ning Chen slowly raised one eyebrow, then picked up the casserole stick skewered with grilled sweetfish and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try."
The cassia branches, slightly yellowed from the fire, faintly exude their unique aroma, blending with the sweetness of the ayu, creating a delicious flavor.
Seeing that Ning Yao had given the fish to Ning Chen, Ning Moran quietly moved the grilled fish in front of her to her mother.
"Mom, I don't have much of an appetite today. You can have mine while it's still hot, it's freshly baked."
Ning Moran said this to Ning Yao, then got up and went to the side, picked up the food prepared by the canteen of his own experimental base, and returned to his seat.
Ning Chen didn't understand what Ning Moran was doing, silently chewing on the grilled sweetfish that his mother had pushed to him.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Ning Chen narrowed his eyes, chewed mechanically a couple of times, and then paused, staring intently at the plate in front of him, looking rather dazed.
Ning Chen wondered, "Could it be that there are only two portions of this?"
These grilled sweetfish are so small, they're not even enough to fill a tooth gap...
Just then, Ning Yao across from her had already cut the grilled sweetfish that Ning Moran had given her in two, giving half to Ning Moran and keeping the other half for herself.
"Mom knows you like kaiseki cuisine. How about we share this fish, half for each of us?" Ning Yao smiled as she ate her half of the grilled sweetfish from her plate, her innocent and clear eyes looking at Ning Moran with anticipation.
Ning Moran certainly wouldn't go against Ning Yao's wishes, and besides, eating with her mother made the grilled sweetfish seem even more delicious.
Ning Moran smiled and ate the half-grilled sweetfish that Ning Yao had put on his plate. His lips and teeth were filled with the original sweetness of the fish, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Ning Chen's eyes twitched a couple of times. He felt that his fifth younger brother, Ning Moran, who was unusually smug and happy at the moment, looked a bit like someone who deserved a beating.
"This soup is also good, Ah Chen, you should try it." Ning Yao and Ning Moran's son had just sweetly shared a grilled sweetfish, and then she didn't forget to recommend her favorite soup to Ning Chen's son.
This time, Ning Chen was more careful. He decided to take the soup again, just in case Ning Yao and his fifth brother were to put on a show of motherly affection and share a bowl of soup.
Ning Chen couldn't openly be jealous of his fifth younger brother.
So he forced a smile and was about to speak when his large movement caused a tearing pain in the wound on his lip, and his face quickly turned deathly pale.
Ning Yao rushed forward to check her son's injuries and asked softly, "Does it hurt a lot? It shouldn't be like this. It should feel better after applying the medicine. Did Assistant Liu give you the wrong medicine?"
During the few days that Ning Yao spent with Assistant Liu, she discovered that Assistant Liu was a very meticulous person.
Come to think of it, Assistant Liu is Ning Moran's capable assistant, he must be no ordinary person, otherwise Ning Moran would not have given him a second glance.
"Mom, don't worry, the medicine was definitely not wrong. I asked Assistant Liu to deliver it." Ning Moran glanced at Ning Chen, then explained to Ning Yao.
"It hurts even more after I applied this medicine." Ning Chen raised his hand and pressed it to the corner of his mouth, feeling the wound tearing and burning pain, and every word he spoke was extremely painful.
"This is a newly developed special medicine. It does have a strong effect. After the ointment penetrates the damaged skin, it will gradually take effect and the symptoms will appear two hours after application. However, this condition will only last for three minutes, but the effect is dozens of times stronger than ordinary wound ointments."
"It should be exactly two hours now, so Third Brother will start to feel tearing pain and a burning sensation." Ning Moran glanced at the time on the watch and said calmly.
"That's good, you scared me to death." Ning Yao patted her chest and returned to her seat.
"Mom has been extracting all the spiritual spring water recently to make medicine for your aunt and the others. I'm sorry, Achen."
"Just bear with it, it'll be over in three minutes. This special medicine is much better than regular medicine. It's better to get it over with quickly than to suffer for a long time," Ning Yao gently comforted her son, her eyes filled with apology.
She possessed the spiritual spring, but she couldn't use it on her son first; she had to address Su Tianxiao's illness first.
"Um, I... I'm fine." Ning Chen paused involuntarily, responded to Ning Yao, then suddenly raised his eyes and gave Ning Moran a cool glance.
His fifth brother is using him like a guinea pig in his experiments...
The newly developed special drug was used on him without any precautions?
Does he really need such a special medicine for these minor injuries? That's an exaggeration.
Just then, Ning Moran's voice rang out again, calm with a hint of barely perceptible schadenfreude.
"Three minutes are up, Third Brother, are you feeling any better?"
Ning Chen's mouth pain actually disappeared the moment Ning Moran's voice rang out.
A cool sensation followed, and it was indeed less uncomfortable. The wound felt clear and not stuffy or painful.
"I won't drink the soup. I don't like soup." Ning Chen glanced at the soup bowl next to Ning Yao and decided not to drink it.
"Third Brother, this bone collagen soup will be very helpful for your injuries. Drink some."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Moran pushed his soup over, creating a heartwarming scene of a good younger brother caring for his older brother.
Ning Yao was deeply moved, never expecting her son to be so sensible and know how to care about his brother's health.
“Drink my bowl, and we can continue to split it in half. I remember you like this soup made from the collagen extracted from fish.”
"Okay." Ning Moran said, glancing at the tableware beside him. He placed the spoon in the soup bowl and pushed it to Ning Chen, who now only had a pair of chopsticks in front of him.
Seeing that there was no spoon in front of her son, Ning Yao simply scooped up a spoonful and fed it directly to Ning Moran's mouth.
"Are there no spoons? Here, you can use a spoon. I'll just drink from the bowl."
Ning Moran's ears instantly flushed red. The young man felt shy but looked forward with anticipation and took a spoonful of soup.
After finishing her drink, Ning Moran smacked her lips with a lingering sense of satisfaction, a beautiful smile curving her lips.
"Thank you, Mom."
“Don’t be so polite, why be so polite with your mother? If you like your mother to feed you…” Ning Yao’s words were interrupted by a cough.
Ning Chen almost vomited blood on the spot. Unable to hold it in any longer, he pretended to be in pain and started coughing wildly to get Ning Yao's attention.
This is infuriating! How old is Ning Moran?
Is that 19-year-old brat handless? Can't he eat by himself? Does he need to be fed?
So this is how Mom spent the few days living with that brat Ning Moran at the experimental base?
I can't think about it anymore; I keep feeling like my younger brother has taken my mother away from me.
A naive thought silently formed in Ning Chen's mind.
Ha, isn't it just an experimental base?
He wanted to drive one too, ten or eight of them, and then take his mother to the experimental base's restaurant for meals every day, changing the location each time!
