He said, "Other people's fathers are rich, but your father isn't. If all else fails, you should find a rich father too."
"I can only buy two sets of materials; I don't have money to spend on you."
The girl in the blue dress almost cried when she heard this.
It's true, people are all different.
This father is different from all the fathers.
The girl in the blue dress could only carry two documents and followed the middle-aged man out of the Xinhua Bookstore with a long face.
Wen Qiao gave them a strange look.
He wondered to himself, were the father and daughter next to him talking about them?
She turned to look at Shen Jichuan, expecting him to be very angry.
Unexpectedly, he looked up and met Wen Qiao's gaze.
"Daughter, from now on, call me Dad when we go out."
These words startled Wen Qiao.
She immediately reached out and pinched his arm.
"Shen Jichuan, why are you joking around like this too?"
Wen Qiao asked again in a low voice.
"Did you hear what they just said? Aren't you angry?"
"There's no need."
Shen Jichuan said calmly, "I am indeed much older than you. If I had gotten married and had children when I was eighteen or nineteen, my daughter might be two years older than you."
Wen Qiao snorted.
"How do you know you can have a daughter?"
Shen Jichuan chuckled lightly and then said, "I won't have any. Even the best daughter is not as good as a good wife."
Wen Qiao ignored him, and just then, the bookstore owner brought over the book she was looking for.
"Miss, your book has been found. You can pay upstairs now."
Wen Qiao accepted it and said with a smile, "Thank you."
"I'll take two more notebooks and two more pencils."
She took the items she had chosen and followed the shop owner to the front counter to pay.
The shopkeeper glanced at Shen Jichuan, and seeing that Wen Qiao had paid, he didn't ask any further questions.
He casually gave me the change.
Wen Qiao carried the books out, talking to Shen Jichuan as she walked out.
"To be honest, I really want to go to school. I'm thinking of thoroughly understanding the books I have and trying to get into high school."
Wen Qiao said this to test Shen Jichuan's attitude.
Shen Jichuan said directly, "Okay, give it a try. If you pass the exam, you can go to school. You're at the perfect age to study. You can't give up your future just because you're marrying me."
Wen Qiao's eyes lit up.
"Is that really what you think?"
"When have I ever lied to you?" Shen Jichuan asked with a slight smile. "Wen Qiao, I want you to be happy more than anyone else."
If Wen Qiao does well in her studies, Shen Jichuan will definitely support her and provide for her education.
He is so much older than Wen Qiao.
If he passes away first in the future, Wen Qiao, with her good education, will have a good old age.
They have three children, but Shen Jichuan cannot guarantee that they will be filial when they grow up.
Or perhaps the three children are filial, but the women they marry are not willing to be filial to their mothers-in-law.
At that time, would you rather wrong your child or your wife?
Therefore, instead of relying on children.
Shen Jichuan hopes that Wen Qiao will rely on her own hard work in the future.
Wen Qiao was even more pleased with Shen Jichuan's words.
It's not that she hasn't liked someone before.
In her past life, her feelings for Shen Haiyang went unrequited.
Ironically, it was her affection for Shen Haiyang that led to her tragic death in her previous life.
Now she understands that liking someone doesn't always lead to self-destruction or a tragic end.
Just like Shen Jichuan is to her now.
While he loved Wen Qiao, he also hoped that Wen Qiao would become better and better.
He did his best to support Wen Qiao.
Who wouldn't like a husband like that?
Overwhelmed with excitement, Wen Qiao blurted out, "When I become capable in the future, I will repay you."
Shen Jichuan wasn't angry even when people mistook him for Wen Qiao's father.
Hearing Wen Qiao say that she wanted to repay him.
Shen Jichuan was furious, but he didn't express it.
His gaze lingered on Wen Qiao's face for a few seconds.
He gritted his teeth and said, "You're such a good kid."
After saying that, he lifted his leg and walked out, with Wen Qiao following behind.
He said, "You misunderstood. What I meant was, you've been so good to me, and you've supported my studies. When I'm successful in the future, I'll definitely repay you."
“I, Wen Qiao, am not an ungrateful person.”
Shen Jichuan: "I know, don't say anything more."
"Have an apple first."
He took one out of the apples he had bought and handed it to her.
Wen Qiao then took a bite, smiling with narrowed eyes, "Shen Jichuan, how can you be so kind?"
Shen Jichuan smiled.
The gloomy mood I felt earlier was completely swept away by Wen Qiao's words.
He wasn't kind to everyone, but he was kind to Wen Qiao, nothing more.
He grew tired of sentimental words, so he didn't say much; all his love for Wen Qiao was shown through his actions.
Shen Jichuan carried all the things the two of them bought.
The two then went to the largest shopping mall in the county.
Of course, this small county town in the Northwest can't compare to the capital, and the clothes inside are all simple styles.
Wen Qiao looked around and bought a red polka-dot shirt, which she paired with a black pleated skirt.
Wen Qiao didn't buy any more shoes because she already had shoes and clothes at home.
Wen Qiao noticed that Shen Jichuan always wore sportswear and wanted to buy him a set.
Shen Jichuan said that he spends most of his time in the military and rarely goes out, so there is no need for him to buy clothes.
As for the three children, since they couldn't find such small sizes, Wen Qiao bought some fabric instead.
We have a lot of cloth coupons at home, which is perfect for us to use.
After all, with a child, you should spend money where you should and save where you should.
Lunch was eaten in the county town; Wen Qiao didn't go to the movies with Shen Jichuan.
They saved the money and bought a roast chicken and a piece of meat.
When I got home, it was already late afternoon.
At this time, most of the children in the compound have gone to school, and very few are at home.
Wen Qiao bought a small handful of candy, hoping to find some given by the children in the courtyard, but she didn't see any.
As soon as I arrived at my doorstep, I saw Li Qin sitting under a tree by the door, chatting with her neighbor about making shoe soles.
Wen Qiao's mother, Lü Yazhi, was also there, holding her three babies in her arms.
As they were talking, Li Qin coughed when she saw Wen Qiao return.
"Quick, your Xiaoqiao is back. Don't let her hear this; young people don't believe in this stuff."
Lu Yazhi also looked flustered for a moment, and shook the hand holding the child.
"Xiao Qiao, come back! Why didn't you stay out a little longer?"
Wen Qiao stepped forward and first looked at the little third child being held by his mother.
"I was worried about the child, and Ji Chuan had to go to work later, so I came back early."
"Did the three kids cause any trouble?" Wen Qiao asked.
