After this little incident, the Chen family left.
Before the third day of the Lunar New Year, many shops on the street were not open.
This is a tradition, and these shops stay open all year round, rain or shine, even when it's raining knives.
At the end of the year, we finally got two days off, so naturally we didn't open.
At this time, the roadside stalls become a popular place for people to stroll. The stalls along the street sell all kinds of things, including the usual goods and even a lot of handicrafts.
When they went shopping, Chen Xi and Chen Bei liked to drag Zhou Huimin around to look at things.
The others also looked around with curiosity at what novel trinkets were being sold.
However, Chen Dong, who was the first to suggest going out shopping, didn't pay attention to these things.
Along the way, Chen Dong would buy all sorts of snacks from roadside stalls for Chen Xi, Chen Bei, and even Zhou Huimin, and he would stuff quite a few into their hands.
Zhou Huimin had a gentle, shy smile on her face all day.
Chen Dong really treated her like a child, but the feeling of being cared for and loved was indeed very nice.
But no one expected that Chen Dong would suddenly stop standing in one spot.
The others were stunned by his performance.
Then, following his gaze, they realized that he was looking at a large, still-open electronics store.
Many shops were closed during the Chinese New Year, but this shop happened to be doing very well, with customers queuing up.
Without thinking, Chen Dong headed towards the specialty store.
Seeing this, everyone immediately understood why he had suggested going shopping.
So, the real intention wasn't in the wine after all!
"It's really true. Everyone is happily going out to have fun on the first day of the Lunar New Year. But him, why is he always thinking about his work? He's already so busy, and he finally gets a few days off at the end of the year. He says he's going out to have fun, but it turns out he's still thinking about work."
Xiao Xinyi watched as Chen Dong walked to the store and carefully examined the prices of various appliances.
Her expression immediately changed, and she spoke with some displeasure.
Chen Xuelin was beside her and, upon hearing her say this, quickly began to comfort her.
“Our son is also prioritizing his career! Now he has to support such a large group company, so the pressure must be immense. Let’s be more understanding of him!”
"Is that what I meant? I felt sorry for my son because he worked so hard every day."
As Xiao Xinyi spoke, she also felt somewhat wronged.
Actually, Xiao Xinyi's reaction was more out of sympathy for Chen Dong.
She knew Chen Dong was usually busy, and she hoped he could take a few days off during the Spring Festival. But little did she know that he was thinking about work all the time.
As a parent, how could Chen Xuelin not understand Xiao Xinyi's thoughts?
"Alright, our son is young, and now is the time to develop his career. It's better for him to be busy than to have nothing to do all day, right?"
"All you ever do is try to smooth things over... Let's wait here and see what he does next. We agreed to go out and have fun together, how can we leave him behind?"
