Chapter 21 Mom, Please Cook More
Aunt Xu picked up Shi Shi from school. "Teacher Yang, can you give us the address of Qian Enming's home? We'd like to go see him," she asked, holding Shi Shi's hand. Last night, with Shi Zhenglin's consent, she had considered asking Long Weihe on WeChat, but was afraid she'd refuse like she'd refused to pay last time. The child pestered her, and she pestered the teacher, wanting to go directly to his house. "It's not convenient for me to give you the address unilaterally." Teacher Yang glanced at Shi Shi, squatted down, and asked, "Shi Shi, do you want to go see Qian Enming?" Shi Shi nodded. Qian Duoduo hadn't "harassed" her at kindergarten today, and she was actually not used to it. "I'll make the call for you, and you can talk to him yourself, okay?" "Yes." Teacher Yang thought this was an opportunity for Shi Shi to integrate with the other children in the class, and she was willing to connect with them. When she made the call, Long Weihe was taking Qian Duoduo to the supermarket near her home to buy groceries. "Enming's mom, Enming isn't in kindergarten, and the kids in his class are really missing him. Shi Shi wants to talk to him. Is he next to you?" "Wait a minute." Long Weihe, who was picking up some beef tenderloin, handed her phone directly to the person sitting on the shopping cart. "It's Teacher Yang, talking to you." "Hello—" "Hello, Qian Enming," Shi Shi said softly. "Who are you?" "Shi Shi." "Shi—Shi Si, what's going on?" After not calling him for a few days, he couldn't pronounce the words anymore. "Qian Enming, I want to apologize." "I forgave you a long time ago." "Is your hand okay? Can I come play with you? I have toys for you." "Of course." Aunt Xu, listening to the speaker, whispered, "Ask him where he lives. Can we go find him later?" "Where's your home? Can we go find you later?" "I live in Huiyue Community." Aunt Xu reminded again, "Ask him what room number he has." "What room number?" "Building 6, Room 1506." "Why did you mention your room number?" Long Weihe took the phone and pushed him to the milk section. He picked up a row of yogurts and looked for the production date. He lifted his cast arm and stuck his butt out to get off the cart. "Hurry home! Shi Shi wants to come to my house to play!" "What do you mean?" "Shi Shi said she's coming to my house now. I want to go down." "Really? Why didn't you ask for my permission?" She couldn't even focus on the date anymore. She threw the yogurt in her hand into the cart's rails, frowned, and carried him to the ground. "Really?" He ran to the checkout machine. Before they had finished buying everything, she pushed the cart and followed him, "You need to ask me to come to your house to discuss this! You know, it's a lot of money! You need my permission!" She couldn't control his mouth, nor could she control his legs. Xu Ah...
Aunt Xu picked up Shi Shi from school.
"Teacher Yang, can you give us Qian Enming's home address? We want to go and see the child." She asked while holding Shi Shi's hand.
Last night, with Shi Zhenglin's permission, she considered asking Long Weihe on WeChat, but was afraid she'd refuse like she had last time. The child pestered her, and she pestered the teacher, so she decided to go directly to her house.
"It's not convenient for me to give you the address unilaterally." Teacher Yang glanced at Shi Shi, squatted down and asked, "Shi Shi, do you want to go see Qian Enming?"
Shi Shi nodded. Qian Duoduo didn't "harass" her at the kindergarten today, and she was actually not used to it.
"I'll make the call for you, and you can talk to him yourself, okay?"
"Um."
Teacher Yang thought that this was an opportunity for Shi Shi to integrate with the other children in the class, and she was willing to do so, as she wanted to build relationships between the children.
When she dialed the phone, Long Weihe was taking Qian Duoduo to the supermarket near her home to buy groceries.
"Enming's mom, Enming isn't in kindergarten, and the kids in his class are really missing him. Shi Shi wants to talk to him. Is he next to you?"
"Wait a moment." Long Weihe was picking up beef fillet and handed the phone directly to the person sitting on the shopping cart. "It's Teacher Yang, I want to talk to you."
"Hello--"
"Hello, Qian Enming." Shi Shi said softly.
"Who are you?"
"Shi Shi."
"Si--Shisi, what's the matter?" After not calling him for a few days, he couldn't figure out the pronunciation again.
"Qian Enming, I want to apologize to you."
"I forgave you a long time ago."
"Is your hand okay? Can I play with you? I have a toy for you."
"sure."
Aunt Xu listened to the speaker and whispered, "Ask him where his home is? Can we go look for him later?"
"Where is your home? Can I come find you later?"
"My home is in Huiyue Community."
Aunt Xu reminded again, "Ask which room number."
"Which room?"
"Building 6, Room 1506."
"Why did you mention your room number?" Long Weihe took the phone, pushed him to the milk section, picked up a row of yogurts, and looked for the production date.
He raised his plastered hand and stuck out his butt to get off the cart, "Go home quickly, Shi Shi wants to come to my house to play!"
"What's the meaning?"
"Shi Shi said she's going to my house now. I want to go down."
"Is this true? Why didn't you ask for my consent?" She couldn't concentrate on reading the date anymore, threw the yogurt in her hand into the cart rail, frowned, and carried him to the ground.
"Really?" He ran towards the cash register.
Before they had finished buying everything, she pushed the cart and caught up, "You need to ask someone to come to my house to discuss this with me! You know, it costs a lot of money! You need to ask for my approval!"
If you can't control his mouth, you can't control his legs either.
Aunt Xu called Shi Zhenglin and told him that Shi Shi went home, changed into a pretty dress, stuffed the prepared envelope of cash into her bag, and took two boxes of sea cucumbers and toys.
Before ringing the doorbell, she warned Shi Shi, "We can't disturb them for too long. Dad said we'll be gone in ten minutes."
She said "hmm".
Qian Duoduo rushed to open the door. Long Weihe was confused about the situation, so he stood at the entrance and listened to the noise.
"Tear!" the young master said enthusiastically.
"Qian Enming."
"Little boy, where is your mother?" Aunt Xu stood at the door and looked inside.
Hearing that it was her aunt, Long Weihe stepped forward. After some polite words from the adults, Shi Shi gave the toy to Qian Duoduo. The person she loved pulled her over and started playing with it by kneeling on the floor.
Aunt Xu sat awkwardly on the sofa, surveying the room. There was no coffee table in the living room, but there was a piano and a basketball hoop for indoor shooting. Toys littered every corner of the wooden floor, and two skateboards, one large and one small, hung from a wall rack.
"Shi Shi didn't adapt to kindergarten and was throwing tantrums every day. Now that he has calmed down a bit, he knows he was wrong and wants to come and apologize. How is the child's hand now?" Aunt Xu asked.
"good."
"It's troublesome not being able to go to kindergarten, right?"
"It's very troublesome. It will take a month to remove the plaster." Long Weihe handed her some water.
This should be a huge trouble. Summer vacation is almost coming in a month, and Huang Yun will have to stay at home for three months. She can't get used to it for a while.
After chatting for a while, Aunt Xu saw that the time was almost up to the set ten minutes, so she reminded, "Shi Shi, we should go."
"No! I want to play here."
"How about we make an appointment to play together next time? Aunt Wang wants you to come home for dinner."
"I'm not hungry. I want to play for a while longer."
Shi Shi didn't even raise her head. Qian Duoduo had difficulty with his hands, so she helped him take apart the building block box with a look of concentration.
"Shi Shi, please have dinner at my house. I'll ask my mom to cook more." Qian Duoduo remembered that she needed Long Weihe's consent, so she went to see her. "Mom, is that okay? Mom, please cook more dishes. I'll ask Shi Shi to have dinner at our house."
Long Weihe was reading a text message on her phone and replied, "You guys decide among yourselves."
She didn't have the time or the energy to cook right now. Tan Minggang had just sent her a voice message saying that Zhang Ziye had secured a job with Yan Bin's niece, saying that while her qualifications weren't quite up to par, she had a good image, was very intelligent, and had good conversation. With some effort, Zhang Ziye had communicated the re-examination questions and precautions with her in advance, and she passed the interview smoothly.
Aunt Xu saw that Shi Shi was having a rare time, and she wanted to go along with her, but she was controlled by Shi Zhenglin and was told to leave after finishing her business and to discuss it with him.
She called Shi Zhenglin and put the phone next to Shi Shi's ear. "Can you talk to Dad?"
"Um."
"What happened to Shi Shi?" he asked.
When Long Weihe heard the voice of Shaxing appearing in her room, she felt a creepy feeling. She frowned, turned her back, and replied to her text message.
"Dad, I want to play at Qian Enming's house. Can he invite me to dinner at his house?"
He probably didn't expect this to happen. He was stunned for several seconds before saying "Okay" and adding, "Call Aunt Xu."
Aunt Xu deliberately hung up the phone, pretending not to hear the rest of the sentence.
Shi Shi was very happy, "Dad agreed!"
"Enming's mom, I'm sorry to bother you. I'll...I'll go back first. What time would you like me to come pick her up?" Aunt Xu picked up her bag. As long as Shi Shi was happy, she didn't care whether she was thick-skinned or troublesome.
"Let them decide." Long Weihe picked up the bag she had placed on the ground when she entered the room and said, "Take it back."
"It's for the child's health. It's a small token of my appreciation. I must keep it."
"No need." Long Weihe's tone was very cold at this time, and she was obviously resisting.
Aunt Xu understood what she was saying and took it back.
Long Weihe looked at the two people in the living room, went back to the kitchen, rolled up his sleeves, and looked at the vegetables he bought in confusion. How did the evil star's child get mixed up with his own child?
The evil star is the evil star, and the child is the child. She took out the vegetables she bought, washed them, and treated them well.
Just as the dish was about to be put into the pot, Lin Yao called. She invited Tan Ming and Zhang Ziye out for dinner and gave them timely feedback on their excellent performance in handling Yan Bin's niece.
"What are you having for dinner? Takeout?"
"I'll fix it myself. I have an unexpected guest at home, so I need to entertain him."
"Who is it?"
"Shi Zhenglin's daughter."
"Why did I come to your house?"
"It's caused by Qian Duoduo."
"He's amazing! He paid off for following you. Did the little headhunter snatch up Shi Zhenglin's daughter?"
"He's just a soft-hearted guy."
"Shi Zhenglin is actively linking you. Is there a chance for a Star Tank order in the future?"
"Don't think about it. They're all hungry. I'll get them something to eat."
She had originally planned to stir-fry beef fillet with tomatoes and a steamed egg for dinner. Shi Shi was there, so she took a frozen fish from the refrigerator, steamed it, and then stir-fried some lettuce. She wasn't very good at cooking, and it took her a long time to prepare all four dishes.
Shi Shi was interested in the skateboards hanging on the wall, so Qian Duoduo took one down and slid it across the floor a few times, showing off his skills. He'd started skateboarding lessons after the New Year, and he could slide a little distance with just two feet. Long Weihe brought out the food and stopped him, "Watch your hands, you can eat now."
The two children were really hungry, so they enjoyed their meal even though it was late.
She sat across from Shi Shi, and upon closer inspection, her features bore a striking resemblance to Shi Zhenglin, though this was a more agreeable version. She was worried she might get pricked by a fish bone, so she helped pick it out. The child was quite polite, even saying thank you to her.
On his way home, Shi Zhenglin called Aunt Xu, bemoaning her willingness to let him eat at her house. He wanted her to make a fool of herself and get rid of Shi Shi. He didn't want Long Weihe to feel any attachment beyond an apology.
Aunt Xu was exaggerating a lot. To be honest, she couldn't persuade the child to leave no matter how hard she tried. She couldn't just forcibly take the child away from someone else's home.
She had contacted Long Weihe and was about to pick them up in half an hour, and had just gotten in a taxi heading there. Shi Zhenglin asked for an address and told Xiao He to change his route and pick them up there.
He arrived earlier than Aunt Xu and parked his car in the basement garage. At first he sat in the car and waited, but felt bored. He ran out to the bus stop, but couldn't stand still. He paced back and forth and took out his cell phone to urge her, but held himself back.
Shi Shi took a long time to come down. Seeing him, she took off Aunt Xu's hand and ran over, "Dad——"
He lifts people up.
As she lightened up, he seemed to let out a sigh of relief. When he smiled, all the gloom disappeared and he seemed like a different person.
After getting in the car, Aunt Xu asked a series of questions, including what they did there and what they ate.
“How many people are having dinner?”
"There are three of us, Qian Enming, my aunt, and I."
"Isn't his father home?"
"Qian Enming said his father and mother are divorced and live separately. Is that the same as my parents?"
Aunt Xu sighed, "The child's mother is also stubborn. She refused to accept the things and money that were taken. This has caused a huge problem. The child can't go to kindergarten. She has to work and take care of the child. It's difficult enough. She should apologize. The baby did the right thing."
Shi Zhenglin said nothing.
"Dad, I want to learn skateboarding. Qian Enming said he'll take me with him when his hand heals. Is that okay?"
Seeing that he didn't respond, Shi Shi asked again.
He came back to his senses and said, "Okay."
