Su Xiaonuan packed xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) and porridge in a thermos to take to the hospital for Dian Dian. Although leek boxes were also delicious, she didn't want to give Dian Dian any spicy food for the time being. The leek boxes were fried and very fragrant, but a bit hard. Xiaolongbao were more suitable for Dian Dian.
Ye Mei was busy clearing the table.
The two girls helped Ye Mei clear the table.
After the two children finished eating, they were playing around with Xiao Moran.
After reading the first page, Su Ming flipped the newspaper over. The eye-catching headline and pictures made him exclaim, "Xiao Nuan, Moran, Zhong Ling, and Xiao Hong, you're all in the newspaper! Your photos are in here!"
Hearing him shout like that, everyone gathered around.
"This was obviously added on short notice, taking up space in another section," Su Xiaonuan said, pointing at the newspaper. "The news is truly ubiquitous; they can publish something that happened so late in the morning paper."
"These three must be human traffickers, right?" Ye Mei pointed at the two men and one woman.
“Yes, they are human traffickers.” Zhong Ling and Xiao Hong nodded at the same time.
“Daughter, you’ve been in the newspapers these past few days, you’re really making us proud!” Su Ming said proudly.
"If you ask me, this is not a good idea!" Xiao Moran said worriedly. "If the traffickers' accomplices see this, they will come to retaliate against Xiao Nuan, which will be troublesome. Xiao Nuan is in the open, while they are in the dark. They could be in danger if we are not careful."
"Look at you, still so smug." Ye Mei pushed Su Ming while standing. "This is really not a good thing. Mo Ran sees it clearly. This is indeed putting Xiao Nuan in danger. If you ask me, we shouldn't publish these photos. If they really want to retaliate, they can find them easily."
"Xiao Nuan, Dad will be your bodyguard every day," Su Ming said, patting his chest.
“No need to exaggerate.” Su Xiaonuan said confidently. “I’m not afraid they won’t come looking for me. As long as they dare to come, I’m willing to rid the people of this menace.”
"You're just like your father," Ye Mei sighed, shaking her head.
"My daughter is just like me, of course." Su Ming shook his head. "Like father, like daughter, don't you even understand that? You look just like me. If she were like you, wouldn't she be bullied everywhere?"
"I want to be like my grandfather and rid the people of evil!" Dou Dou threw punches with both hands.
"I want to catch bad guys and beat them up like Mommy does." Guoguo gestured like a little cow, her chubby hands and short, thick legs working together perfectly, every move showing traces of Xiaonuan.
"Wow, Guoguo really does resemble her mother quite well." Xiao Moran gave Guoguo a thumbs up.
“Dad, I’m trying to be like Mom too,” DouDou quickly added.
“Yes, our DouDou is learning from her mother too.” Ye Mei quickly praised DouDou, afraid that the child would become sensitive again.
"DouDou, it doesn't matter if you imitate Mommy or not. What matters is that our DouDou is happy every day." Su Xiaonuan picked DouDou up. "Mommy saw your homework from yesterday. It was very good and deserves praise."
"Mom, Guoguo taught me to write it, and Guoguo deserves praise too."
Xiao Nuan picked Guo Guo up again. "Of course our Guo Guo deserves praise. You two are both good children of your mother. As long as you two brothers help each other and are kind-hearted, you will both become useful people when you grow up, and you will definitely be even more amazing than your mother."
"Yay!" The two children flashed peace signs. "When we grow up, we want to be useful people."
Several adults applauded the child.
Amid applause, Su Xiaonuan put the children down, then left with her bag, thermos, and Xiao Hong and Zhong Ling.
Xiao Moran chased after them. "Xiao Nuan, I'll take you to the restaurant."
"Don't you have to go to work?" Su Xiaonuan glanced at him. "Aren't you afraid your boss will fire you for being so undisciplined and carefree?"
“As long as I do my job well, no one will fire me.” He followed her closely. “From now on, I’ll spend more time with you. Being your part-time driver is definitely no problem. You can install a phone at the shop, and wherever you want to go, just give me a call, and I guarantee I’ll be there whenever you call.”
“That’s right, I need to install a phone in the store as soon as possible. This is the main store, and there will be many franchise stores in the future. We will mainly rely on the phone to communicate.” Su Xiaonuan calculated that she would be able to install a phone in the store by the end of this month.
In the 1980s, installing a wired telephone cost more than three thousand yuan.
Therefore, in those days, not many people could afford to install a landline telephone.
Su Xiaonuan is no exception; her career is just starting out, and she hasn't earned that much money yet.
“Then I’ll call someone to install a phone in the shop today.” Xiao Moran knew she was short on cash right now. “We happen to have a few phones installed there, and we have one free one, so I’ll give it to you.”
"Such a good deal?" Su Xiaonuan stopped and looked the man in front of her up and down again. "Do you have that much power? Xiao Moran, you really don't know how to brag. Do you know how much it costs to install a telephone? It costs several thousand yuan. You just say you'll give it away for free? Did you even ask the boss?"
"The boss already told me to install a phone at home for easy communication," Xiao Moran shrugged. "We're renting now, so there's no need for a phone. But your shop needs one, so wouldn't it be better to install it here?"
"That still requires your boss's approval."
“My wife is absolutely right. I’ll go ask the boss right away, and if he agrees, I’ll have someone install it immediately.”
"He's never serious."
“We’re outside,” he reminded her. “When we’re out in public, we’re not husband and wife. We have to act like husband and wife. How can this be considered improper?”
"I can't be bothered with you!" She rolled her eyes at him.
"Oh, right, they don't need to buy a new bed. I'll have someone deliver an old bed and mattress."
