Luojia Mountain is a tavern.
But this is Bell’s home!
Therefore, the decoration style here is not focused on business, but on making the family feel as comfortable as possible.
The dining table is a round table that looks very exquisite and gorgeous.
But what many people don’t know is.
There was originally a long table here, and it was a long table with many rules.
As the parent, Bell, the polar bear should sit at one end of the long table, taking the main seat in front of the table.
The matron of the family sat on the other side of the long table.
The two of them looked exactly like each other, representing the highest class of the family.
On the parents' side, the left side of the table, are the boys according to their age.
On the other side are the girls of the family.
Bell did not like the idea of class being implanted into the family environment.
In his opinion, family is a warm and happy place.
There should be no workplace rules here.
So I replaced it with a mahogany round table with a diameter of six meters.
Old Octopus Dave is a very serious guy.
He is distributing dinner to his family.
First up was a big bowl of potato goulash.
Under Love's frown, he added two tablespoons of salted broccoli, then picked up a whole loaf of toast from the table, cut two-thirds of it and put it on the plate. This is what Love has for tonight. dinner.
Then he picked up another loaf of toast and took the softest piece in the center.
Pair it with a small piece of brine broccoli and a dish of beef-heavy stew.
This is the dinner for the second son, Big, the Arctic shrew.
Why is Octopus Dave so serious about his work?
The second son, Arctic Shrew, is the smallest, in order to prevent him from having an inferiority complex of eating leftovers from his brother.
Dave would choose a whole loaf of toast.
It's not a waste.
The rest of the toast will be given to Bear, the elder.
Likewise, the eldest son, Polar Bear Love, will always have an incomplete piece of bread on his plate until he reaches adulthood.
What is family?
Big the Arctic shrew and Bear the polar bear eat the same bread, Dave the octopus and Love the polar bear eat the same bread.
Two loaves combined make a dinner staple.
A small piece of bread contains great wisdom.
After all, it is very difficult for a combination of four animals, three species, and one family to achieve a balance.
Fortunately, everyone is willing to work on it.
Looking at the warm scene in front of me.
Without the fighting and intrigue outside, a smile appeared on the polar bear's face.
He felt it was all worth it.
The soup was stirred with a spoon, and the soft beef and potatoes were simmered with a milky aroma, which made Bell raise his eyebrows:
"Huh? The food tastes a little different today."
As he spoke, he took a whole broccoli and threw it into his mouth.
Octopus Dave's eyes lit up, and his tone was a little more expectant:
"I'm trying new cuisine recently, is it delicious?"
Bigg the Arctic shrew took a bite, his eyes lit up, and he shouted excitedly:
"It's delicious. Uncle Dave cooked great food today."
This brought a smile to Dave's face.
Love, the little polar bear on the other side, also gave a thumbs up in praise.
Just when tasting the bisque.
Little polar bear Love suddenly had a wonderful idea in his mind, and couldn't help shouting excitedly:
"Bigger, I have a suggestion.
Your grandma's pizzeria food is so boring, maybe we could add a soup and bread combo, I'm sure someone will like it. "
Facing his brother's proposal, the little Arctic shrew on the dining table waved his hand.
His small eyes flashed with rationality and wisdom that should not belong to his age:
"No, animals vary in size. One dollar of food can feed a small animal for a week, but for Dad it's only one-tenth of a meal."
Little Love was not discouraged and said whimsically:
"How about we issue our own animal currency?"
Looking at his brother's clear and stupid eyes, Bigg the Arctic Shrew shook his head:
"There is no equivalent wealth. Even if money is printed, it is just a piece of beautiful paper. Moreover, we do not have the ability to protect wealth."
Bell's family seems to be extraordinary.
Needless to say, Love was an important reason for him to start a family.
Arctic shrew Beagle, despite the fact that he is very weak now, both his parents are dead and he only has one grandmother.
An old man and a young child live in dire straits in New York.
But in the future he will have another identity, Mr. Big, one of the builders of Animal City.
Big, which means big in English.
As for Octopus Dave?
Do you think he's just an ordinary octopus cook?
No, his intelligence and technology research and development capabilities can rank among the top three among all the people Bell knows.
Therefore, as a parent, Bell was not surprised by the maturity and calmness displayed by his second son.
But he still tapped the table with his paw, making a "dong dong dong" sound:
"Kids, I don't mind you discussing anything, but we're eating right now. Maybe you could say something more interesting, like a particularly interesting joke?"
There are twenty-four hours in a human day, and dinner should not be more than half an hour later.
During meal time with family.
Bell would rather hear about her children's daytime experiences than about their careers and jobs.
Eating is a happy thing, why talk about these topics that have nothing to do with family?
At the reminder of Bell, the parent, Bigg the Arctic Shrew raised his hands and shouted:
"Dad, I have a joke that I saw in the newspaper."
The boss on the side, Love, shouted not to be outdone:
"Dad, I have it too, I have it too."
A relieved smile appeared on the old father's face.
While eating beef and potato soup, he said to the two furry children:
"We have all night while we eat and talk."
On the contrary, it was Dave the Octopus on the side.
Originally he seemed to want something.
But looking at the family's warm dinner time, Dave couldn't help but hesitate.
Time passed by, and Bear the polar bear got off work very early today.
But because of Brown's problem, he didn't go home until five o'clock.
The dinner lasted an hour.
Bigger was a little excited tonight, even though the joke he told was very cold.
What is a deer without eyes? The answer is eyeless deer (No, eye, deer/No, idea.)
This kind of joke is funny when you hear it for the first time.
But after listening to it once, it feels cold when you listen to it again.
But looking at the little white bear dancing around with a silly smile on his face, and his second son Biggie looking so proud?
The five-meter-four polar bear smiled so happily that he almost shed tears.
It was more like a family gathering in the name of dinner than a meal.
The commotion lasted until around six o'clock in the evening.
Bell took out a fifty-cent coin from his pocket, and everyone spoke:
"Here are fifty cents. As long as you clean the dishes today, the fifty cents will be yours."
No child would turn down pocket money.
Especially in Luojiashan Tavern, the "stingy" Father Bell will only give you part of the reward after you have worked hard.
Love and Big were very happy. This was one of the few ways they could get pocket money. They shouted excitedly:
"Long live daddy!" X2
He looked tired just now, but now he was tempted by pocket money.
Each and every one of them looked as if they had been injected with chicken blood. Father Bell couldn't help but remind him:
"Remember to brush it clean. I'll check it later. If it's not clean, daddy will take back the fifty cents."
The two brothers nodded quickly.
They work together tacitly, one helps clean up the garbage on the table, and the other is responsible for carrying the plates.
In response to Dad's verbosity, he said in unison quite impatiently:
"I know, I know, Dad, we will clean it up."
Looking at the two brothers who love each other.
Father Bell nodded happily, then raised his furry paws and hugged Octopus Dave's shoulders:
"Let's go, let these idiots clean up, and we two old guys go have a smoke."
