Lin Ze took Xiaobao to say hello to all the employees of the company, and then went straight to the parking lot.
"Brother Ze, why don't we go to the supermarket first?" Xiao Bao sat in the passenger seat and said softly, "I can't go there empty-handed to eat, it's very impolite."
Lin Ze was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud: "Little guy, you're different when you grow up. You understand everything."
"But have you forgotten what your brother Ze and my family do?"
Xiaobao reacted instantly and muttered softly, "Oh, that's right, Brother Ze's family owns a supermarket, and it's the biggest one..."
"Yeah," Lin Ze said with a smile, "So those things you bought at other supermarkets, we have them at home too, why waste that money?"
"Then what should I buy?" Xiao Bao's mother sighed, "If only big brother were here, he would definitely be able to give me some advice."
"You don't need to buy anything whether your big brother is here or not." Lin Ze reached out and touched the top of his head. "As long as you guys go there, my parents will be very happy. There's no need for gifts."
"Besides, our two families are so familiar with each other, it would be too awkward to talk about this."
"Okay," Xiaobao nodded, "Then I'll listen to Brother Ze."
Since they left the company quickly and a few minutes earlier than the normal working time, they did not catch the most congested time of the evening rush hour, and their journey home was relatively smooth.
After they parked the car, they took the elevator upstairs. Xiaobao was the first to run over and knock on the door.
As the door opened with a click, he said happily, "Hello, uncle and aunt~"
"Xiaobao is fine too!" Mother Lin led the little guy into the house with a smile on her face. "Come, come, auntie will get you some slippers. These are specially prepared for you."
Xiaobao looked down at the pair of small cat-head slippers, put them on quickly, and then turned around a few times in front of Lin's mother, with a smile on his face.
"Thank you, Auntie. It fits perfectly. I like it very much!"
"That's fine," said Lin's mother with a smile on her face, her eyes always following Xiaobao. "You and Zixiao haven't come for a long time. I know you are both busy at work and school, but we are really worried about you, so we had to ask Lin Ze to urge you."
Xiao Bao shook his head and said seriously: "I'm sorry, Auntie. This is our fault. We ignored you. My brother and I will come here often in the future. Don't think we are annoying when we come."
"How could that be? We're so happy you're here." Lin's mother took his hand and walked to the sofa to sit down. "I've been looking at Lin Ze's face every day for more than 20 years. I'm tired of it."
"Hey, hey, hey, are you really my biological mother?" Lin Ze didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You are so tired of looking at your own son, lady, you are really something else."
"Get lost, go find your dad!" Lin's mother didn't even look at him. "I need to talk to Xiaobao now, so I don't have time for you. Go to the kitchen and prepare the fish."
"Okay, that's it."
Lin Ze reluctantly took off his coat, walked towards the kitchen, and shouted, "Lao Lin! How are you with the dishes? Let me help you!"
"You little brat, you still remember to go home?" Father Lin continued to move his hands, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone, "You said you don't want to take over our supermarket for the time being, so that's fine. Your mother and I support you working at Wanyi Group. After all, it's a legitimate company, and it's really not comparable to supermarkets in all aspects."
"But at least you should come home. Even though your mother may say bad things about you, she actually misses you even though you're not here. She's just too embarrassed to say it."
Lin Ze felt a pang of sadness when he heard this, and quickly agreed: "Okay, I understand, I will try to come back often."
Father Lin snorted and asked while cutting vegetables, "I heard you bought a house? That's impressive. It seems you've made a lot of money at Wan Yi Group. I thought you were wandering around instead of going home."
"Am I sick?" Lin Ze laughed, "I bought a house. Li Zixiao's family lives not far away, so it's convenient for us to go to school and work together."
"But Dad, why are you saying this so awkwardly? After I joined the company and made money, didn't I transfer a lot of money to you? You speak as if it's the first day you know I made money."
"I know you earn money, but I don't know exactly how much you earn," Lin's father said. "Originally, your mother and I were considering how much money to give you to buy a house and get married. Now that you bought it yourself, we saved money."
Lin Ze's body stiffened, then quickly returned to normal: "Isn't this good? You can save money for your retirement, how great is that?"
"You don't need to worry about us. We definitely have more savings than you." Father Lin pointed to the cabinet above the stove and said, "You're tall, so help me take down the new rice cooker on top. We'll use that to steam the rice tonight. It's much better."
"Okay," Lin Ze responded, and then took the rice cooker effortlessly.
"By the way, when will Zixiao come over?" Father Lin asked, "I'll prepare the dishes first and put them in the pot when he arrives. These dishes are quick to cook, so he can eat them hot when he arrives."
"There's a new project coming up today, and he's gone to discuss it." Lin Ze checked the time and said, "It should be coming soon. I'll give him a call later."
Father Lin nodded, and then the two of them cooperated tacitly and quickly finished processing the grouper.
Looking at Lin Ze bending over to wash his hands, Lin's father hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but said: "Son, Dad wants to tell you something, but I definitely don't mean any bad things, please don't be unhappy"
"What?" Lin Ze turned to look at him puzzled.
"I know you and Zixiao have been friends for many years, and you two have a very good relationship. Zixiao is a good kid, and your mother and I like him too." Father Lin paused and continued, "But you are in your twenties now, so you should have a girlfriend. You can't just have brothers around you."
