Today is the weekend, so Ning Yanshu doesn't need to go to school.
After leaving Lu Chen, Shen Fu didn't rush back to the company. Instead, he took Ning Yanshu to a vegetable market in the suburbs.
He imitated Ning Wan, purchasing the vegetables and ingredients needed for the store each day.
Because he had accompanied Ning Wan to the market many times, Shen Fu had learned to do it quite well and even started to haggle.
A pound of cabbage that cost 50 cents was slashed down to 38 cents by Shen Fu.
As the stall owner packed the items, he sighed resentfully, "Ah Man, I've discovered that since you regained your memories, you're not stupid at all anymore; on the contrary, you're quite shrewd. What wealthy boss is as stingy as you?"
The affair between Ning Wan and Shen Fu caused quite a stir in Yuncheng.
Many stall owners who knew Aman and were on good terms with him also knew the identities of the two.
However, even after regaining his memory, Shen Fu still enjoys coming to the market. Everyone is also more used to calling Shen Fu "A-Man," finding it more endearing.
The stall owner would often joke with Shen Fu, "Is it really okay for a company president to be so stingy?"
Shen Fu smiled and replied, "Save where you should, spend where you should; there's nothing shameful about haggling. Could you please give me a bunch of scallions as well?"
The stall owner couldn't hold back any longer...
...
After buying groceries, Shen Fu took Ning Yanshu back to the boxed lunch shop.
He was chopping and preparing vegetables in the kitchen, while Ning Yanshu sat obediently in the shop painting.
Because 057 was with him, he didn't feel bored.
The two were busy with their own things, and the father and son got along quietly and harmoniously.
Shen Fu wasn't good at saying sweet and tender words, but most of his love for Ning Yanshu was shown in his actions.
Whenever Ning Yanshu calls him, Shen Fu will always drop what he's doing and rush over immediately.
Xu Xiufeng arrived late, around 8:30.
Seeing Shen Fu in the shop, she was somewhat surprised: "Aman, what are you doing here?"
He then explained why he was late: "Sorry, I overslept. I messaged Yanshu's mom, but she didn't reply..."
Although Ning Wan never treated her like an employee, Xu Xiufeng never slacked off because of it.
She seemed particularly embarrassed about being late today.
"It's alright. Wanwan is probably still asleep, that's why she hasn't replied." Shen Fu shook the water droplets off his hands, then asked with concern, "Brother Zhao, are you adjusting well to the new construction site? Are you having any trouble getting used to it?"
The construction site where Ning Wan used to sell boxed lunches has long been completed and topped out after more than a year of construction.
With the completion of the secondary structure, Zhao Shuigen also ended his work.
So Shen Fu simply packed Zhao Shuigen, Zhou Jun, Zhou Kai, and Lin Wei together and sent them to work on the construction site in the south of the city.
He promoted Zhao Shuigen to a position as on-site supervisor and manager.
Compared to the hard work of carrying bricks in the past, the job now is much simpler.
Moreover, the income is high, with an annual salary of over 100,000!
However, Zhao Shuigen had never done similar work before, so he was inevitably a little overwhelmed while studying and working.
In addition, the new construction site is some distance from their current residential area, which means that Zhao Shuigen has to get up early every day to go to work.
Xu Xiufeng was late today because Zhao Shuigen overslept and forgot to wake her up.
"Everything's fine." Xu Xiufeng took off her coat and put on her work apron, smiling broadly. "Old Zhao may not be the sharpest of the sticks, but he's eager to learn and really enjoys his job."
Every day when Zhao Shuigen gets home from get off work, he is visibly exhausted.
But he would always enthusiastically share his experiences at the construction site with his family at the dinner table.
Xu Xiufeng liked Zhao Shuigen's positive and optimistic attitude.
What she was even more grateful for was Shen Fu's help.
"We haven't had a chance to thank you for this work yet," Xu Xiufeng said warmly. "Come to my house another day, I'll treat everyone to a meal."
Shen Fu shook his head and said, "If anyone should express gratitude, it should be me thanking you and Brother Zhao. Thank you for helping Wanwan over the years."
Whether it was the life-saving grace of drinking pesticide back then, or the 50,000 yuan life-saving money for hospitalization.
And the five years that Ning Wan raised the child alone, and the care that Xu Xiufeng's family gave to Ning Wan and Ning Yanshu.
These are debts of gratitude that Shen Fu can never repay.
"Sigh, it's just neighbors helping each other out."
Seeing Ning Yanshu staring at them with curiosity, and Shen Fu thanking her again in a serious manner, Xu Xiufeng felt a little embarrassed: "Let's not keep thanking each other in the shop, let's get back to work."
Seeing this, Shen Fu stopped insisting on saying those polite words and simply kept their kindness in his heart.
We plan to give Zhao Shuigen more bonuses and subsidies under the guise of work at that time.
With Xu Xiufeng's help, the work in the shop progressed much faster.
By noon, the boxed lunches and fast food were almost ready.
However, before the first customer arrived, a luxurious Maymach suddenly pulled up in front of the store.
Shen Fu squinted and immediately recognized it as Shen Yurong's car.
Before Shen Yurong could even get out of the driver's seat, the back door was opened first.
Shen Xu jumped out of the car with an excited expression.
Upon seeing Ning Yanshu, he ran towards him excitedly and hugged him tightly: "Little Shu!"
He lowered his head, pressing his chin against Ning Yanshu's short hair, and softly comforted her, "Don't be afraid... Xiaoshu, don't be afraid..."
Li Hongxia got out of the car behind Shen Xu, her face looking rather pale.
She had raised Shen Xu with great care for nine years, but the affection she received in return was far less than the warmth he showed to a stranger.
This incident was like a thorn, subtly piercing Li Hongxia's heart.
It didn't hurt much, but I still felt uneasy.
After parking his car, Shen Yurong slowly walked up to Shen Fu.
He hung his head listlessly, no longer displaying the arrogant and domineering demeanor he once had.
For Zhong Yan's sake, Shen Yurong ran around seeking help, but was met with setbacks everywhere, and became much more haggard.
The dark circles under his eyes are obvious, and his cheeks are sunken.
It felt like I had been up for several days and nights.
His complexion was also poor, and he looked listless and dispirited.
Shen Yurong lowered his head and pleaded in a low voice, "Shen Fu, please, can you spare my mother?"
"I'll do anything you ask, as long as you let her go."
There was no change in emotion in Chen Fu's eyes.
He retorted nonchalantly, "Why should I?"
