Today it was Xu Weiguo's turn to wash the dishes. After finishing his meal, he conscientiously prepared to clear the table.
Then Zhang Yumei stopped him, saying softly, "Honey, you just need to rest."
"Junhui, could you tidy up the dishes?"
After Xu Weiguo came out, he acted normally, but Zhang Yumei and Xu Fang both felt that he was forcing a smile.
Xu Junhui was heartbroken. His father was perfectly fine, but no one believed him when he told them.
"I promised Dun Dun I'd take him to buy some good food, so how about we let Dad do the laundry? I can't go back on my word, right?"
Xu Junhui still wanted to try. Washing dishes was a small matter, but he couldn't be made to wash dishes so unjustly.
If Xu Weiguo were truly sad and upset, Xu Junhui would have taken the initiative to let him rest, but the problem is that he didn't!
"Tsk! Why is washing the dishes such a hassle?"
Zhang Yumei felt that Xu Junhui really had no sense at all. When he came out, he actually said that Xu Weiguo was perfectly fine.
"DunDun, how about Grandpa Xu takes you to buy some delicious food?"
Dundun glanced at Huang Qinqin first, and seeing her nod slightly, he replied, "Okay~ Thank you, Grandpa Xu~"
Xu Weiguo also liked Dundun quite a bit, and upon hearing this, he replied softly, "You're welcome."
Zhang Yumei looked at Xu Junhui and said, "See, that solves the problem. Now you can hurry up and clean up the dishes. We'll take good care of Dundun."
After saying that, he took out two yuan from his pocket and handed it to Xu Weiguo, saying, "Honey, take this money and take Dundun to buy some food. If there's anything you want to eat, you can buy some too."
Xu Weiguo stared at the money Zhang Yumei handed him, somewhat incredulous. She had given him five yuan that morning; had she forgotten?
Xu Weiguo was conflicted, wondering whether he should remind Zhang Yumei that she had already given him five yuan that morning, which was why he hadn't accepted the money.
In Zhang Yumei's eyes, this became evidence that Xu Weiguo was overwhelmed with grief.
Whenever Xu Weiguo was given money, he would immediately accept it.
Now he's just staring blankly, which must be due to excessive grief, leading to a lack of desire and interest. He's not even interested in money anymore. What should we do?
Zhang Yumei felt a little panicked; this wouldn't do!
She took the two yuan back, intending to go back to her room to get a ten-yuan note for Xu Weiguo. She figured the amount of money was definitely insufficient, and exchanging it for a ten-yuan note would be better.
Before Xu Weiguo could finish agonizing over it, he suddenly saw Zhang Yumei take the money back and turn back to her room.
He was a little confused. Did she remember that she had given him money that morning? Or did she think it was okay for him to use his own allowance to buy snacks for Dun Dun?
Dun Dun was all ready to go out with Xu Weiguo to buy food, but after standing there for a while, Xu Weiguo didn't move.
Dun Dun felt tired of standing, so he plopped down on the ground.
When Huang Qinqin saw that Dundun had this idea, she tried to stop him, but she was still not as fast as Dundun.
After sitting down, Dun Dun felt much more comfortable. He crossed his legs, rested his chin on his hands, and waited for Xu Weiguo to take him out.
Seeing Dundun looking thoughtful, Huang Qinqin chuckled and asked, "Dundun, are you tired? How about we don't go buy snacks?"
Upon hearing this, Dun Dun exclaimed, "That won't do!"
Not only did he shake his head hastily, but he also waved his hands incessantly: "Dundun isn't tired! He wants to go!"
"Not tired, mmm, DunDun isn't tired~"
Dun Dun's first sentence was an answer to Huang Qinqin's question, and his second sentence was purely him comforting himself.
"Isn't Dundun tired? Why is Dundun sitting on the ground?"
Huang Qinqin continued to tease him relentlessly. Dundun is still young and can be fooled a little, but he won't be so easy to fool when he gets older.
Now that she has a chance to tease him, Huang Qinqin certainly won't miss it. As long as she keeps it within limits, teasing him can even strengthen their relationship!
Dun Dun's little head was thinking and thinking, and suddenly he said to Huang Qinqin, "Dun Dun isn't tired, it's Dun Dun's legs that are tired~"
"Mmm, Leg said he's tired and wants to sit down."
Dundun became more and more confident as he spoke, and smiled at Huang Qinqin with his little face upturned.
"Okay, Auntie understands. Come here, Dundun, let's sit on the stools."
Seeing that he had even come up with the excuse that his legs were tired but he wasn't tired from sitting on the stool, Huang Qinqin stopped teasing him.
However, we can't just let him sit on the ground like that. Firstly, the ground is dusty, and secondly, it's cold. Sitting on it for a long time would make him uncomfortable.
Huang Qinqin patted the dirt off his pants, then picked him up and sat him on the stool.
Zhang Yumei came out at this moment and stuffed a ten-yuan note into Xu Weiguo's hand.
"Honey, I just remembered that the supply and marketing cooperative seems to have just received a new batch of canned fruit. Why don't you take Dun Dun to buy some?"
"With the rest of the money, you and Dun Dun can buy whatever you like."
Xu Weiguo thought Zhang Yumei had changed her mind and didn't want to give him the money anymore, but to his surprise, she actually gave him so much more!
"Okay! I'll go buy it with Dun Dun right now!"
Xu Weiguo quickly put the money away, picked up Dundun, and ran out, forgetting even to ride his bicycle.
Seeing that Xu Weiguo was energetic again, Zhang Yumei breathed a sigh of relief.
As Xu Junhui was washing the dishes, he saw Zhang Yumei give money to Xu Weiguo. He cursed inwardly: "Dad is shameless. He actually pretended to be sad to deceive people. Sure enough, the older people get, the thicker their skin becomes!"
......
Because Dundun and Xu Weiguo went out to buy snacks, they didn't take a nap at noon and are now sitting in the basket. In just a few minutes, Dundun has already fallen asleep.
Seeing that he had fallen asleep, Huang Qinqin tried to take the fruit leather from his hand, but Dundun was holding it too tightly and she couldn't get it off even after pulling several times.
"When you take Dundun back later, remember to tell your sister-in-law that Dundun ate a lot of candy today, so don't give him any more candy today."
Xu Weiguo bought a bunch of snacks for Dundun, such as hawthorn candy, candied hawthorn, and glutinous rice strips.
When Huang Qinqin woke up and saw that Dundun was holding a piece of hawthorn candy, but instead of eating it, he just licked it and that was it. She knew that something bad was going to happen.
Before she left, she touched Dun Dun's belly, which was already bulging. It was obvious that he hadn't stopped eating and was probably too full to eat anymore, so he was just licking it to satisfy his craving.
After giving Xu Junhui some instructions, Huang Qinqin hurried back to the department store. After all, Manager Gao had said that morning that she needed to come up with a solution before starting work.
Huang Qinqin needs to go find Manager Gao right away and tell him the solution she has in mind. If it works, great; if not, she needs to keep thinking of other solutions.
