Su Yunqi was a well-known delicate beauty in the surrounding area. Unfortunately, the old Su family was too weak to protect her. After a rich gangster took a fancy to her, they had to hastily marry...
Chapter 66 Dad is not here, I will help mom carry things
"Xiaoyao, what do you want to eat?"
"Do you want this strawberry gourd skewer?"
Su Yunqi was walking in the snack street holding little Lu Yao's hand. They saw someone selling strawberry gourd skewers, which were made by replacing hawthorns with strawberries. They looked delicious, so she asked excitedly.
"Yes! Mom, let's buy two skewers! I want this one and I want that one too. Let's eat them together!"
Little Lu Yao stood on tiptoe and pointed at the candied hawthorns and strawberry skewers. He liked them all and couldn't decide between them.
"Yes, sure."
Su Yunqi agreed generously and bought two skewers directly, one for hawthorn and one for strawberry.
The mother and son ate while walking.
"What about this? Xiaoyao, do you want it? It looks delicious."
Su Yunqi held little Lu Yao's hand and walked to the stall selling pork jerky. She licked her lips, her eyes shining, and she felt a little moved.
The aroma of pork had already wafted out, arousing Su Yunqi's appetite. It was a large piece of pork jerky, thick and brown, sprinkled with sesame seeds, which looked very attractive!
"If you like it, you can buy it~~~"
"We're going to eat Dad out of money!"
Little Lu Yao encouraged his mother to buy whatever she liked without asking for his opinion.
"That won't work. Your father's money is also your mother's and mine. If you make your father poor, then mother will become poor too, right? But we can eat and drink as long as we want. If you like it, we can buy it!"
Su Yunqi was still encouraged by her own kid, she spoke loudly.
"Boss, give me a pound of pork jerky!"
She would buy a pound to try first. If it tasted good, she would buy more and take it back to share with her parents and parents-in-law. She saw the boss say that this can be stored in the package for a month.
"Okay, no problem, just wait a moment!"
The boss was very quick and weighed out a pound in no time. Since Su Yunqi said she wanted to eat it now, there was no need to bother packaging it. She could just put it in a paper bag and hand it to her. It was still hot and steaming.
"Wow, it's delicious, baby, you should try it too!"
Su Yunqi blew on a corner to cool it down a little, then took a bite. The meat was firm, full of fragrance, and moderately salty and fragrant. It was very good!
She was very eager to share and squatted down to let Lu Yao have a taste. Lu Yao was very considerate and he opened his mouth obediently and used his little teeth to tear off a small piece of the large piece of pork jerky.
"Well, that's great!"
Little Lu Yao spoke incoherently, his mouth full of food, like a cute little squirrel.
"Yeah, Mom, buy some more, let's buy 6 kilograms, two kilograms for your grandparents, two kilograms for your grandparents, and two kilograms for us. That should be enough."
After Su Yunqi made the calculations, she decisively bought another 6 kilograms. She bought so much and paid so generously. The boss was smiling and in a very good mood. He even gave her some extra pork jerky scraps.
The shape just isn’t as pretty, but the taste is the same, very delicious.
"Mom, carry it for me. Dad is not here, so I will help you carry the things."
Little Lu Yao quickly ate his last candied haws, threw the skewer into the trash can, then took the 6-pound pork jerky with both hands. He lifted it with all his strength, even his chubby little face and lips were exerting force.
When he walked, he made some labored sounds, just like a piglet.
"Is it very heavy? Let me carry it. I am an adult and I can carry it."
Su Yunqi was somewhat touched to see his son being so filial and considerate, but he was more at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He was still so small, with short arms and legs, and a short stature, like a chubby little winter melon. It was good enough that he didn't cause trouble to others. How could Su Yunqi bear to let him carry things by himself?
"No, it's fine!"
Little Lu Yao bit his rosy lips, and finally put his left hand into the bag, supporting the bottom of the bag with his right hand. This time he finally felt a little more relaxed.
"Come on, Mom, let's continue shopping!"
He raised his little head and said proudly that those who knew him would say he was going shopping, while those who didn't would think he was going to attack the enemy camp and become a little general.
Lu Zhao said that Su Yunqi was like a little peacock. Su Yunqi felt that her son was quite like a proud little peacock, especially when he showed off his strength in front of her, he looked like a little peacock with his tail spread out. His feathers haven't even fully grown yet, but he's already showing off.
"Okay, then you carry it. If you feel tired, tell mom."
Knowing that her son liked being praised and liked helping others, Su Yunqi didn't say anything else. She squatted down and kissed her son's pretty little face, then touched his head and took him to continue shopping.
There are a lot of food in this area, and there are also clothes and jewelry stores nearby, which is enough for a mother and son to shop around.
The two of them walked around for more than half an hour and were exhausted. Su Yunqi bought two bottles of soy milk, and then sat down at the table selling stinky tofu with Lu Yao. She bought a bowl of stinky tofu and sat here to rest for a while.
"Are you thirsty? Do you want to drink some soy milk first?"
Su Yunqi unscrewed the soy milk bottle and handed it to little Lu Yao.
"Thirsty."
He nodded obediently, holding the bottle of soy milk and drinking it. He took a few quick sips and then screwed the cap back on the soy milk bottle. Then his lotus root-like calves shook a few times and he gasped for breath, trying to recover his strength.
Our little baby Lu Yao was almost tired like a puppy, and he almost stuck out his tongue and emitted heat.
"Our Xiaoyao is exhausted."
Su Yunqi gently wiped the sweat off little Lu Yao's forehead and teased him gently.
"It's not tiring. I'm willing to help mom carry things!"
He straightened his back and said with full energy that children are full of energy. In just two minutes, he recovered and looked as energetic as if he could go up the mountain to fight a tiger.
"Okay, okay, but you don't have to carry it now. Let's sit down and rest for a while."
The two of them ate from the street corner to the end, and now they were not hungry. Little Lu Yao dangled his little feet and drank soy milk from time to time, waiting for Su Yunqi.
Su Yunqi was eating stinky tofu, and only fed him one bite. He was still young, and eating too much might give him a stomachache, so Su Yunqi didn't dare to feed him too much. Fortunately, little Lu Yao didn't like the taste very much, and he didn't like to eat it either.
When Su Yunqi was eating stinky tofu, he even secretly stretched out his little hand to cover his nose, and his chubby little face was wrinkled. He didn't dare to say it, but his mother really seemed to be eating...
"Hey, mother, look, there is a little child over there. Could she have lost her parents?"
Little Lu Yao noticed with his sharp eyes that there was a little girl standing not far from the stinky tofu stall. She was staring at them and there were no adults around her.
"Maybe. Which adult is so careless?"
Su Yunqi looked up and it seemed to be true. The little girl was dressed beautifully, looked very clean, and had two pigtails on her head. She looked very thoughtful and was definitely not a homeless child.
"Mom, let's go help her, okay?"
