A meat stall was surrounded by a large crowd.
Meat outside is more expensive than at the supply and marketing cooperative; usually, the meat at the supply and marketing cooperative is sold out by this time.
She walked over, but there were too many people, and she wasn't tall enough, so she struggled to stand on tiptoe to see what else was good.
The man's tall figure loomed over her from behind, his warm breath brushing against her head. "What do you want to buy?"
Song Yanzhi took two steps forward uncomfortably, creating some distance between them. "Let's buy a piece of pork belly. Xiaobao likes pork belly."
Pei Yuchen nodded slightly and had someone cut them a piece of pork belly.
Next, the two went to the vegetable market to buy groceries.
There were too many people, and Song Yanzhi, who was very thin, was so squeezed that she could hardly move, and the two of them quickly became separated.
She was covered in sweat and didn't know what to do when Pei Yuchen, who had walked past, came back. He reached out and took her sweaty hand, whispering, "Don't get lost."
Song Yan's hand trembled slightly. Before she could refuse, the man pulled her forward.
He was tall and walked smoothly through the crowd.
In the end, Song Yanzhi didn't even know what she bought.
In short, both of them were covered in sweat when they went out.
Her hand was still being held by the man.
Pei Yuchen didn't seem to have any intention of letting go. Song Yanzhi was about to speak when he was interrupted by him: "Little BMW is out of class, let's hurry up."
Her attention was immediately diverted, and she nodded.
Ever since that one time Xiao Bao overslept and ran home by himself, Song Yanzhi has made sure to go to the door early to meet Xiao Bao every time.
Because she knew what it felt like for a child to wait there without an adult to pick them up.
She came to buy groceries with Pei Yuchen today, but because she felt a little guilty, she was distracted and took up a lot of time.
We need to get there quickly.
Before he even reached the nursery class, just as he arrived at the entrance of the family compound, someone rushed over to find Pei Yuchen, saying there was an urgent matter.
Pei Yuchen glanced at her subconsciously, his eyes filled with emotions and apologies she couldn't understand.
"I'm sorry, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Song Yanzhi interrupted him, "It's nothing, you go ahead and do your work."
Pei Yuchen paused, gave her a deep look, and then turned and left.
He didn't know why, but he had a feeling that once he turned around, he would never be able to come back.
He paused for a moment, turned around, but Song Yanzhi had already turned and walked away.
Yuhong Class.
As soon as get out of class ended, Pei Jichuan was pulled away by Pei Tiantian.
She pulled him along while keeping a wary eye on Xiaobao.
It seems like there's something shameful they want to say.
Xiao Bao saw it too, but he didn't care.
Just as he walked out with his schoolbag, Pei Tiantian took out a model airplane from his bag and said, "Brother, Uncle Pei asked me to give this to you. He told you not to tell Xiaobao, in case he's stingy."
Pei Jichuan was unwilling to accept it, nor did he dare to; he felt it shouldn't be done this way.
Uncle Pei is not that kind of person.
Even though his eyes were full of longing, he knew it wasn't something he should take, and immediately refused, saying, "I can't accept it. It wouldn't be good if Xiaobao and Auntie saw it."
Pei Tiantian was anxious, thinking that her brother was so stupid. She had seen it when she went to find him that day. Xiao Bao was playing with a model airplane in his hand, while her brother, who always loved reading, was unconsciously staring at the airplane in Xiao Bao's hand with envy in his eyes.
Later, when she got back, she told her grandmother and Aunt Zhou Qiao, embellishing the story, that they only gave gifts to Xiao Bao.
Although she didn't say it explicitly, she still hoped they would all know that Uncle Pei was biased.
Then Aunt Zhou Qiao brought her one and told her that it was actually given to her by Uncle Pei, but he was worried that Xiao Bao and Aunt Song would be angry, so he asked her to secretly give it to her brother.
She was also told not to tell anyone, so as not to embarrass Uncle Pei.
Pei Tiantian understood. It wasn't Uncle Pei's fault that her brother didn't receive a gift; it was Aunt Song's fault.
Because she and Xiaobao were too stingy, Uncle Pei didn't dare to give it to his brother.
He had to give it to him secretly.
"Why can't we accept it? Dad saved Uncle Pei, so it's only right that Uncle Pei treats us well. It's Xiao Bao who's bad, and Aunt Song who's selfish! We did nothing wrong!"
Xiao Bao's steps froze.
He tilted his head and looked over. There was a white model airplane, packaged in a pretty gift box with a bow tied on it.
It looks extremely stylish.
Xiao Bao could no longer hear what Pei Jichuan was saying.
His eyes were dull and lifeless, and he didn't hear Tie Zhu calling him to wait.
My mind is filled with thoughts of Dad secretly giving Pei Jichuan a gift that's even better than his.
He thought about how happy he was to receive the gift that day, and how he held it tightly, not wanting to put it down even when he went to sleep at night, and how he dreamed sweet dreams about it.
Later, he realized that even if his parents adopted other children, he was still the most important person in their hearts.
He never had nightmares again after that.
He's not a bad kid; he just doesn't want to give his parents to someone else. Is that wrong?
He tilted his head and bumped into someone.
I looked up and froze.
A pair of warm hands stroked his head.
Xiao Bao's eyes reddened, and tears immediately streamed down his face. He called out in a muffled voice, "Mom, I'm not a bad child."
"My little one is definitely not a bad child!"
Song Yanzhi held her son in her arms, looked away from the gift box, and said to him, "Let's go home."
**
News came from the school that there was indeed a person named Song Yanzhi, but strangely, the person in the photo was Li Baozhu.
