Chapter 224 Hawthorn Digestive Drink
The hot pot meal lasted nearly an hour and a half, which was enough to show the children's strong curiosity about new things. Everyone ate a lot in today's hot pot feast!
After we had our fill of food and drink, we slowly strolled back to our room. As soon as we entered, I quickly handed the ingredients for the hawthorn digestion drink I had prepared to the room service robot and instructed it to rush to the kitchen, have the chef prepare it, and then bring it back to the lovely children.
Before long, the children swiftly took their seats on the sofas, forming a neat row. Their eyes, wide and bright, stared at me intently. Seeing this, I couldn't help but smile. I gently cleared my throat and asked, "Dear children, what do you think of today's hot pot? Is it delicious?" Before I even finished speaking, the children shouted in unison, "Delicious! So delicious!" Hearing their enthusiastic responses, a bright smile spread across my face. Then, I continued, "But, children, please be aware that freshly cooked hot pot is extremely hot! If we rush into the scalding food, not only will our mouths get burned, but our throats and stomachs could also be harmed! So, be careful when eating from now on. Don't rush!"
At that moment, the youngest and cutest Maggie timidly raised her chubby little hand, blinked her big, watery eyes, and asked in confusion, "Teacher, why didn't we feel any pain when we were eating so much just now?" Hearing Maggie's innocent question, I couldn't help but smile and explained to her in a soft voice, "Haha, little darling, that's because our little mouths were completely captivated by all the delicious food! However, if you eat too much and too many different kinds of food, your tummy might start to feel uncomfortable after a while. But don't worry, we have the Hawthorn Digestive Drink to help us. It can help your tummy digest all the food easily!"
Before I could finish my words, the doorbell rang. Then, a handsome, humanoid robot approached with brisk steps, steadily holding a tray of attractive hawthorn digestion drink. The children's curiosity piqued at the sight of the drink the robot presented, and they flocked over like a flock of cheerful birds. They craned their necks, their eyes wide open, and asked a flurry of questions about this novel beverage.
After the robot completed its mission and left, I looked at these lively and lovely children, and a kind and gentle smile appeared on my face again. I patiently explained to them: "Hey, my dears, this hawthorn digestive drink is a good thing! It can help us digest food better. Didn't you just eat so much meat and fish and all kinds of delicious hot pot ingredients? Now just drink a small bowl of this magical drink, and your little stomach will soon no longer feel uncomfortable." After hearing what I said, the children nodded very obediently and sensibly, then carefully took their own small bowls from the tray and slowly tasted this sweet and sour hawthorn digestive drink.
The children excitedly took the cup of the delicious drink and eagerly gulped it down. However, at that moment, Abel's excited expression froze. His face wrinkled tightly, as if he had eaten something extremely unpalatable. He muttered, "Teacher, why does this taste a bit sour?" Hearing this, the other children stopped what they were doing and nodded in agreement, expressing their agreement with the little boy.
Seeing this, my mind raced, pondering how to solve this problem. Suddenly, an idea struck me, and I quickly pulled a bottle of thick, golden honey from my bag. Carefully opening the cap, I slowly poured an appropriate amount of honey into the drinks, stirring gently with a spoon. I handed the improved drinks to the children again, watching them with anticipation.
This time, as the children drank the drinks, their faces immediately blossomed with bright, satisfied smiles. Their innocent little faces were as beautiful as flowers blooming in spring, and the whole room was instantly filled with cheerful laughter and sweet, silvery voices.
When everyone was immersed in the joyful atmosphere, little Yu Han blinked his big watery eyes and asked in a baby voice, "Teacher Sui Sui, can we eat hot pot again tomorrow?" As soon as he finished speaking, the other children seemed to be ignited with enthusiasm. They opened their round eyes and looked at me with anticipation.
Facing the children's eager and expectant eyes, as bright and blazing as the stars twinkling in the night sky, a tinge of helplessness welled up within me. However, I didn't let this frustration show. Instead, I forced a gentle smile, shook my head softly, and replied in a voice as soft as a spring breeze, "Dear children, we can't eat hot pot every day. While hot pot is delicious, we also need to pay attention to a balanced and varied diet. But don't worry, tomorrow the teacher will surely prepare another equally delicious and mouth-watering meal for you!" Although the children's eyes flickered with disappointment when they heard they couldn't have hot pot, they still nodded docilely and sensibly, like a group of obedient little angels, expressing their willingness to accept this new arrangement.
After the children finished their digestive drinks, sleepiness soon crept onto their adorable faces. So, Lotta and I, along with the three of us, methodically arranged for them to wash up and get to bed. Watching these little ones, one by one, slip into bed, close their eyes, and soon drift off into sweet slumber, their faces adorned with contented smiles, as if they were dreaming a truly wonderful dream, my heart was filled with warmth. Reflecting on the wonderful time I spent with the children today, I was deeply struck by how simple, pure, and yet incredibly contagious their innocent joy was. I sincerely hope to have more heartwarming and beautiful moments like this one in the years to come.
