Shen Jiazhou followed his gaze and saw that it was a stall selling Qingbuliang (a type of sweet dessert).

He said without changing his expression, "Next time."

"But I want to eat it now." Can Can said pitifully, "You buy it for me, and I'll pay you back with the money in the jar when I get back."

"Then I'll have to do some serious calculations," Shen Jiazhou said. "You didn't seem to give it to me a few times before, did you?"

Can Can blinked innocently and said, "No?"

"No," Shen Jiazhou said. "Stop pretending to be innocent, you naughty kid. Go back and give me my money back."

Can Can looked left and right, then stopped answering Shen Jia Zhou's question. He had given it to her once, hadn't he? He seemed to have forgotten about it afterwards!

Shen Jiazhou said, "Be an honest child. You should pay back the money you owe me first, and then I'll buy you whatever you want to eat."

Can Can looked up and said, "But, but you're my uncle! You can buy me things."

“I can buy you things, but lending and giving are different. Whether it’s a penny or a dollar, if you borrow from me, you have to pay me back.” Shen Jiazhou said, “If you borrow and pay back, it’s not difficult to borrow again. This way, our friendship will be even stronger.”

Can Can seemed to understand but not quite. He turned to look at his aunt, who also nodded.

Wen Shuqiao said, "Your uncle is right. No matter how close you are to someone, if you borrow something, you have to pay it back. That's what it means to be an honest and trustworthy child. Isn't Cancan an honest and trustworthy child?"

"Yes, that's me!" Can Can immediately answered, "I'm an honest and trustworthy good baby."

Wen Shuqiao and Shen Jiazhou exchanged a glance, and Wen Shuqiao continued to ask, "So, should we return the baby to Uncle?"

Can Can hummed in agreement: "But I don't remember how much money I should give my uncle."

"It's alright," Shen Jiazhou said. "I've put it in the tab. You just need to give me two hundred yuan."

"Alright then," Can Can said. "I'll give it to you as soon as we get home! I'll definitely remember this time!"

Shen Jiazhou nudged his head a couple of times: "Okay, then when we return the baby to your uncle, your uncle will treat the baby to something to eat, okay?"

"Okay!" Can Can was about to continue speaking.

Shen Jiazhou immediately said, "You can't borrow in advance. You've already eaten a lot today; your belly is rounder than the moon in the sky."

Can Can subconsciously looked up and gazed at the sky: "There's no moon tonight!"

Therefore, his belly is not as round as the moon.

Shen Jiazhou chuckled softly: "That's a metaphor."

"I don't compare myself to the moon," Can Can said earnestly. "I'm just a little kid."

Why bother comparing things?

Shen Jiazhou looked down at him, speechless for a moment.

Wen Shuqiao said, "You got a lesson, didn't you?"

Shen Jiazhou turned his head away and said stubbornly, "I won't stoop to his level."

But the corners of his mouth were always turned up; I must say, his new brain really does work very fast.
