Daddy's Gourmet Store

Chapter 242 Even better than the food festival?
As the diners in the store leave one after another, it also means that the lunch business hours of the delicious restaurant are completely over.

Huang Tao and the others also ushered in a belated lunch.

"Let's eat~"

After all the dishes were brought to the table, Huang Tao greeted him, sat down, and picked up his chopsticks.

Song Cailian and Xuanxuan moved their chopsticks at the same time, and each of them picked up a chopsticks dish for him and put it into his bowl.

"I've been tired all morning, eat more." Song Cailian said lovingly.

"Papa, you've worked hard!"

Xuanxuan's beautiful eyes were slightly bent, she pursed her lips, and smiled softly, the dimples on her white and tender cheeks were shallow.

Hearing this, Huang Tao's heart warmed slightly.

It feels so good to be cared by family members~
"Okay, let's eat." Huang Tao ate the food in the bowl, feeling sweet.

"Mmmmm~"

Xuanxuan nodded obediently, and then smiled sweetly at the grandparents opposite, "Grandma, grandpa, please try this West Lake vinegar fish, it's hard to get it usually~"

After speaking, he looked at his grandparents expectantly.

She really likes others to praise her father so much!
What kind of listening!
Huang Yide added a piece of West Lake Vinegar Fish, tasted it, and his eyes lit up again: "Well, it's delicious, even better than the West Lake Vinegar Fish I ate at the food festival last time!"

Xuanxuan was very satisfied with Grandpa's compliment.

At this moment, she tilted her head and looked at her grandma expectantly, and she heard her grandma asking, "Is it better than the food festival?"

"Really, try it, it tastes even better than last time!"

"If you don't tell me, I will taste it!"

talking.

Song Cailian picked up a piece of West Lake vinegar fish and put it in her mouth.

"Hmm~ It's so delicious, it's definitely better than the last time I ate it!"

Song Cailian nodded in agreement, and then praised: "Xiaotao's cooking skills have improved a lot!"

Xuanxuan's pink face was overflowing with excitement: "Everything Papa makes is super delicious!"

when she speaks.

Huang Tao picked out a piece of fish with few spines for her, removed the remaining spines by the way, put it on her plate, and said softly, "Eat it, it won't taste good when it's cold."

Xuanxuan nodded obediently, picked up the chopsticks and started.

Eat and eat.

Her eyes lit up suddenly, as if remembering something, she leaned back and looked at the bicycle parked in the corner not far away.

When Huang Tao saw her, he quickly reached out to support her back, so as not to let her fall too far and lose her center of gravity.

He warned softly: "Xuanxuan, sit still and don't move around."

Xuanxuan blinked her beautiful big eyes, and told her father what she thought: "Papa, after dinner, I want to learn to bike."

"Oh!"

After she said this, Huang Tao remembered the agreement he had made with his daughter before. He nodded and said, "That's all right. After eating, Dad will accompany you."

Hearing this, Xuanxuan speeded up her meal.

Finally finished lunch.

She couldn't wait to urge: "Papa, hurry up, and learn how to drive with me."

"Don't rush~"

Huang Tao looked at his daughter's impatient look, and smiled helplessly: "Put on the cycling protective gear first, so that even if you accidentally fall down during the learning process, you won't hurt yourself, otherwise , It hurts a lot when you fall."

As he spoke, he put a helmet on Xuanxuan, and also put on protective equipment such as elbow pads, knee pads, and palm pads.

After putting it on, he checked it again to make sure there was no problem.

He brought another "child-rearing artifact" sweat towel and put it on her back.

When you sweat, you can rely on it to absorb sweat.

After finishing everything, he took out the bicycle in the corner, pushed it outside the store, and let her push it by herself.

"grandparents!"

With a bright smile on her face, Xuanxuan awkwardly pushed her exclusive bicycle, called her grandparents to join her, and walked happily towards the square of the old street in the west of the city.

Because it was afternoon, the aunts who danced in the square did not appear here, so the square seemed very empty.

Huang Tao kicked the bicycle's kickstand so that it supported the ground.

Then he supported the faucet with one hand and the cushion with the other, and asked Xuanxuan to climb up the cushion carefully and sit firmly.

According to her current height, re-adjust the height of the cushion for her moderately.

"Xuanxuan, put your little hands on the handles on the two sides of the faucet, remember to hold the faucet, and then step on the pedals on both sides..."

Huang Tao demonstrated while talking, and then gave her a reassuring look: "You will ride forward boldly later, and Dad will hold the back seat of the car and not let it fall."

Don't look at Xuanxuan's little appearance just now that she can't wait to try.

But when she sat on the bicycle seat, held the front of the bike, and stepped on the pedals, she couldn't help feeling a touch of fear in her heart.

Frightened and nervous, she glanced sideways at her father, who was holding on to the faucet with one hand and the handle at the end of the cushion with the other, and said anxiously: "Papa, you must hold it tight..."

"Don't be afraid, Dad is here!"

Huang Tao encouraged softly: "You just have to step forward bravely..."

"Xuanxuan, don't be afraid, your father will support you." Song Cailian and his wife also encouraged her.

Xuanxuan nodded, summoned up her courage, and stepped on the pedal vigorously.

Following the strength of her feet, the bicycle started slowly and with difficulty, and drove forward.

Huang Tao followed behind her, helping her control the direction of the faucet with his left hand, and holding the handle of the seat cushion behind her with his right hand, helping her push the bicycle forward vigorously.

Because of his thoughtful protection, Xuanxuan, a beginner, was able to ride a bicycle very safely.

It also made her courage gradually increase, and the movement of stepping on the pedals gradually became more proficient.

The rate has accelerated a lot!
The speed of the car was so fast that Huang Tao had to let go of the hand holding the faucet.

The moment he let go of the faucet, the bicycle swayed suddenly.

"what……"

Xuanxuan was so frightened that she quickly closed her eyes, feeling that she was about to fall to the ground in the next second.

however……

What she feared didn't happen.

Because Huang Tao's right hand is still firmly grasping the handle of the seat cushion, controlling the bicycle steadily.

"Xuanxuan, you must hold the dragon head and keep your balance."

He raised the decibel and instructed: "Now keep stepping forward."

After hearing her father's words, she opened her eyes suddenly, and seeing that she didn't fall, her eyes couldn't help showing a look of surprise.

Huh?
It's okay~
This time, the courage that was almost frightened, came back again.

She obediently followed her father's instructions, held the faucet, kept her balance, and stepped on the pedal hard to push forward.

With Huang Tao's help, Xuanxuan rode around the square like a light bird.

gradually……

She also picks up the basics pretty quickly.

The faster you ride, the easier it is to ride.

Immersed in the joy of cycling, she couldn't help laughing like a silver bell.

"Papa, it's fun to ride a bike~"

Hearing his daughter's cheerful voice, Huang Tao couldn't help but smile, he thought for a while, and asked: "Xuanxuan, you've been riding very well now, then let go of your father now, you Ride, okay?"

"Good!"

Xuanxuan nodded confidently.

Huang Tao slowly let go of his hand.

In the next second, the bicycle was directly out of his control, carrying Xuanxuan to continue driving forward.

But within a few meters, the bicycle began to shake, and Xuanxuan's relaxed nerves suddenly became tense, and the more nervous she was, the more she didn't know how to control it.

So...

The bike went off its original balance.

"Papa~papa~"

She instinctively turned to her father for help.

Seeing that her entire center of gravity was tilted to one side, and when she was about to fall to the ground with the car, a pair of big hands supported the faucet and stopped her waist, saving her from falling down with the car.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

Huang Yide and his wife, who were walking in the distance, saw each other and asked with concern from a distance.

"It's okay, I'm just a little scared."

After Huang Tao responded, he straightened the bicycle.

He helped her straighten her crooked safety helmet, and asked with concern, "Are you afraid?"

"afraid!"

She nodded like a pounding garlic, and said with lingering fear: "I'm very scared."

Huang Tao asked again: "Then do you still want to continue cycling?"

Xuanxuan lowered her head, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "I think."

Although I almost fell down, it was really fun to ride a bike, and it was rare that my father played with me.

Huang Tao stretched out his hand to straighten the messy bangs on her forehead: "If you continue to ride, you may almost fall like just now, aren't you afraid?"

Xuanxuan's flushed little face suddenly wrinkled like a little bun.

The feeling of fear just now is vivid in my heart!

"That……"

She pursed her lips and thought for a while, when her father supported her just now, her bike was riding very steadily, it didn't wobble at all!
She looked up at Huang Tao, and asked in a begging tone: "Papa, can you not let go? If you don't let go, I won't fall down."

These words are indeed quite reasonable.

But baby!

Dad can protect you for a while, but not for a lifetime, you have to learn to be independent and strong!

He dotes on Xuanxuan very much, but he is also unwilling to train Xuanxuan into a sick girl.

And if he keeps helping her and never letting go, how can she learn to ride a bicycle by herself and not develop the habit of dependence?
Although he helped this time, he will never help again next time.

Even if he is very distressed!
After all, let her learn to be independent and strong is what a father really needs to accomplish.

Huang Tao said with a smile: "But Dad can't be behind all the time! Look at the children around here, who wants Dad to follow behind and support when riding a bicycle?"

She blinked and blinked, thought for a while, and shook her head: "Well, no! The children ride well by themselves."

"The reason they rode so well on their own is because their daddy let go, and if their daddy doesn't let go, it's hard for them to learn to ride, and of course, they're bound to fall when they're riding." It's happened several times."

Huang Tao reached out and gently touched Xuanxuan's little head wearing a helmet, and said encouragingly with a smile: "Xuanxuan, Dad hopes that you can learn to ride a bicycle by yourself, and even more hope that you can become a brave, strong and independent child. Dad believes that You can definitely do it."

Xuanxuan bit her lips, and then her eyes revealed a look of determination: "Papa, I will definitely learn it well."

"Well, Dad believes in you."

Huang Tao looked relieved: "I will support you first, and then let you go when you ride more steadily. Later, if you feel that the car is shaking and you are not sure to continue, you can use your right foot to support the ground so that you will not fall. It's heavy……"

"Hmm~"

Xuanxuan nodded obediently.

Get in the car again.

Same as at the beginning, Huang Tao helped her hold the back seat, and after running with her for two laps, he quietly let go of her without hesitation.

Unaware that her father had let go, she rode very steadily.

But when she came back and found that her father was standing without support at all, her eyes showed a hint of surprise, and the bicycle shook inadvertently.

Fortunately, she reacted in time and supported herself with her feet before the fall was not heavy.

Her eyes were instantly clouded with mist.

It hurts!

want to cry!

But Xuanxuan doesn't cry,
Xuanxuan is a brave and strong child!
She looked sideways at Huang Tao, who encouraged him: "Xuanxuan, get up by yourself, you are already great."

"Mmmmm~"

She blinked, put her hands on the ground, climbed up, and then helped the bicycle up.

Just like this again and again, after falling two or three times, she finally mastered the skill of riding a bicycle completely. Even when she lost her balance, she could support herself with her feet in time so that she would not fall again.

In the end, she could control the bicycle to move forward against the wind and circle the square in circles.

"Dad, grandpa, grandma, look... I can ride a bike~"

She was so happy that she laughed like a silver bell from time to time.
