After much deliberation, Cancan still picked up two books.

Wen Shuqiao found his kindergarten backpack, put the photo album in it, and Cancan said in a serious tone, "Auntie, do your own things, I'll carry it myself."

The two photo albums weren't heavy either. Wen Shuqiao smiled and nodded, helping him put his backpack on: "Baby, you're such a good boy! Whose baby is so well-behaved!"

Can Can blushed, embarrassed because his aunt always praised him like that!

However, she still said with great pride, "They are babies from my mom and dad's family, as well as my aunt and uncle's family."

Wen Shuqiao smiled and pinched his soft cheek: "You're so good with words, did you learn that from your uncle?"

“I said it myself,” Can Can replied. “My uncle’s words were unpleasant!”

He doesn't like it at all!

Wen Shuqiao recalled what Shen Jiazhou had said... Hmm... It was quite nice to hear.

She tidied up the house so that she and Can Can could move back after she resigned from her job at the studio. After that, she would have a lot of things to do, but also a lot of free time.

Wen Shuqiao took Cancan's hand and walked back with him, carrying the cake.

It was the start of the evening rush hour, and the roadside food stalls were getting busy. On her way back, Can Can spotted grilled sausages at a glance.

He swallowed hard, mustered his courage, and said, "Auntie, I want to..."

“You don’t want to.” Wen Shuqiao glanced at the sausage stand as well: “You can eat as soon as you get back, have you forgotten? Grandma made you delicious boiled fish today, and you promised Grandma you would eat lots and lots of it.”

That's true, but this sausage looks really appealing to the kids!

Can Can sighed, "Then buy it for me next time, okay? I'll give you the money from my piggy bank."

“Your piggy bank can’t withstand this kind of use,” Wen Shuqiao said. “I’ll make one for you at home when I’m done with my work.”

Can Can instantly stopped craving the grilled sausages from the food stall; her aunt's grilled sausages were much tastier!

Undeterred by the temptation, Can Can took Wen Shu Qiao's hand and left the snack street. His stomach growled twice, but soon he firmly pulled Wen Shu Qiao forward with the cake.

No, no, he won't eat the grilled sausage from the roadside!

Looking at him like this, Wen Shuqiao's smile deepened. How could he be so funny?

She said, "I'll make you extra sausages later, so you can fry them in the air fryer at home whenever you want, okay?"

"Okay!" Cancan said, "I'll take a lot and share it with An'an and the other children."

He'll be starting kindergarten soon. Although he really doesn't want to go, it's impossible for him not to go. Can Can has fully accepted it. Besides, An An and other children will be there to play with at kindergarten, so it's not so bad.

Wen Shuqiao agreed.

She looked down at Can Can, who was happily holding the cake, and then remembered something else. She pursed her lips slightly and asked, "By the way, Can Can, is that brother you mentioned still around?"

Can Can had only told his aunt about his older brother. He sighed and shook his head: "My brother hasn't come out to see me for a very long time."

Wen Shuqiao patted his head: "No wonder, I haven't heard you mention your brother lately. He should have gone home by now."

"Does he have any aunts or uncles in his family?" Can Can asked, looking up.

Wen Shuqiao shrugged: "I don't know about that."

Can Can said "Okay," but brother...

He wanted to say something more, but the cake suddenly started running forward, stretching the leash into a straight line.

"Cake, don't run away!" Can Can instantly forgot what she was going to say, took two steps, and Cake turned around, barked, and continued to pull Can Can forward.

Can Can had no choice but to jog a few steps to keep up.

Wen Shuqiao followed behind and instructed, "Run slowly."

She quickly followed, but thankfully the cake stopped after only a few steps, circling around Can Can's legs and occasionally nudging him.

It was like they were playing around, or maybe they were just teasing Can Can.

Can Can thought the cake was acting strangely today, but he didn't pay it any mind. He squatted down and touched the cake's head and body, comforting it while waiting for his aunt, who was lagging behind, to catch up with them.

The cake licked his finger, making soft whimpering sounds, and asked, "What are you trying to say? I don't understand!"

The cake barked at him, and Can Can frowned and smacked its bottom: "You can't bark so fiercely at people."

The cake started whimpering again, its tail wagging wildly. Can Can thought for a moment and said, "I know, when we get home I'll secretly open a can of milk for you and me, without letting Auntie and Uncle know!"

cake:……

The cake's tail was too weak to even wag anymore.

When Wen Shuqiao caught up, Cancan stood up and said, "Let's go, cake."

The cake, sticking out its tongue, followed him slowly home.

Aunt Zhang timed it perfectly, served the last dish of boiled fish, quickly tidied up the kitchen, and then went home from get off work.

A few minutes later, the front door opened, and Shen Jiazhou returned home from get off work.

Wen Shuqiao and Cancan were both nestled on the sofa. Upon hearing the noise, they both turned their heads to look.

Can Can exclaimed, "Uncle's back! Dinner's ready!"

He got off the sofa, slipped on his slippers, and ran quickly toward Shen Jiazhou.

Shen Jiazhou bent down slightly, opened his arms, and steadily picked up Can Can who was rushing towards him. When he straightened up, he tugged at Can Can's clothes as he ran up: "What you look forward to most every day is dinner. It's not me coming home, is it? You brat."
