Especially since Liu Qian also had a young boy with her.
The boy stood to the side, his face filled with longing as he kept looking at Wang Mingming's pockets.
Zhou Chen sat in front of the TV watching cartoons, occasionally bursting into laughter.
Seeing this, Wang Mingming sighed helplessly, then took out a few milk candies from her bag and handed them over.
The boy's eyes lit up the moment he saw the milk candy.
He quickly stepped forward to take the candy, but then seemed to remember something and withdrew his hand.
Wang Mingming smiled and said, "Take it and eat it! I have plenty more! I'll bring you some more next time I come! Share half with your little sister!"
Zhou Chen then noticed Wang Mingming, immediately put down the remote control in his hand, rushed over and hugged Wang Mingming.
"Brother Mingming! You're here! Did you bring something delicious?"
Wang Mingming affectionately patted the other person's head.
"Brother came in a bit of a rush today, so I only brought some candy, but I promise I'll bring you some more delicious treats next time!"
"Mmm! I want to eat chocolate!"
After speaking, Zhou Chen blinked her big eyes and looked at the big boy behind her.
It was clearly the older boy behind her who wanted the chocolate, but he was too embarrassed to say it, since he wasn't very familiar with Wang Mingming.
Wang Mingming smiled and said, "Okay! I'll go back and look for it for you!"
"Oh! By the way! Why didn't your sister come with you? I haven't seen her in so long!"
"Haha! I'll bring her next time, okay?"
"Okay! Let's pinky swear!"
Liu Qian stood aside and sighed, a hint of envy rising in her eyes as she looked at Wang Mingming.
The boy held a milk candy in his hand and, when no one was looking, popped one into his mouth.
A sweet taste immediately filled his taste buds, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Liu Qian shook her head helplessly: "Poor child!"
Just then, Zhou Tong's voice came from outside.
"Damn! I have to queue to use the toilet! I almost peed in there! I need to talk to the higher-ups and get more toilets!"
As Zhou Tong spoke, he took out his key and turned the doorknob.
The door opened, and Wang Mingming was playing with Zhou Chen in her arms. A smile immediately appeared on Old Zhou's face.
"Good heavens, Secretary Wang is here!"
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Wang Mingming's face: "Brother Zhou, please stop joking with me! By the way, is your stomach feeling better? Have you taken any medicine?"
Zhou Tong waved his hand: "It's nothing! Just diarrhea, it'll pass!"
Wang Mingming looked at him with some concern: "Brother Zhou, this won't do! You should take some medicine!"
"Forget it, medicines are in such short supply right now, you can't buy them at all! And they're not cheap either! I'm a grown man, so I'll pass!"
After saying that, Zhou Tong clutched his stomach, his face pale, and went into the room to sit on the sofa. He saw that the boy had a candy stuffed in his mouth and immediately understood what had happened.
After letting out a helpless sigh, Zhou Tong waved his hand slightly and asked, "By the way, what brings you here today, you busy man? Do you have some mission to complete again?"
Wang Mingming opened her mouth as if to speak, but seeing Zhou Tong's state, she felt a little reluctant.
However, he finally said, "Yes! The superstorm has passed now. I discussed it with Uncle Chen and we'd like you to take some people to check on how Brother Lu and his family are doing!"
After hearing this, Zhou Tong's face immediately showed a hint of excitement.
"Finally convinced him! Okay, I'll go get the people now, you wait here! By the way, when are we leaving? What equipment do we have? If we don't have enough, I'll think of something else!"
Wang Mingming shook his head and said, "Brother Zhou, you're not feeling well right now! How about I have Brother Hu take some men over there? You should rest at home! Well, I'm off!"
After saying that, Wang Mingming turned to Liu Qian and said, "Sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work! Take good care of Brother Zhou! Don't let him worry about this! I'm going to find Brother Hu!"
After exchanging a few polite words, Liu Qian saw Wang Mingming out of the house.
Watching Wang Mingming's departing figure, Zhou Tong sat helplessly on the sofa, a hint of frustration on his face.
"Ugh! This is such a rip-off! I have to go on this mission! By the way! How much money do we have left at home?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Qian's face immediately showed a hint of nervousness.
"There's still... a little over two thousand yuan left!"
"Okay! I understand! Alright! You stay home and take good care of the child! I'm going out to check on things!"
After saying that, Zhou Tong slowly got up, supporting his belly. Liu Qian's eyes were slightly red, and she helped Zhou Tong up.
"Old Zhou, let's just forget about it! Your health..."
"It's alright! Lu Yuan is my brother! I have to go find him! There's no room for discussion! Oh, and watch the house! If anyone comes, just shoot! I'll take responsibility if anyone kills them!"
Then Zhou Tong handed a pistol from his waist to Liu Qian.
Seeing Zhou Tong's departing figure, Liu Qian immediately burst into tears.
"You're such a grown man, you're starving your father! Son, I'm so sorry!"
The boy next to her stepped forward and hugged Liu Qian tightly.
"Mom! I'll eat less from now on. Uncle...Does Dad not like me anymore?"
"Silly child, how could that be! Your father had no choice! Don't blame him!"
The boy nodded thoughtfully.
After receiving the mission, Shen Hu immediately began preparations.
However, when he was about to leave to collect his equipment from the warehouse, he saw Zhou Tong standing in front of the door, hunched over and sighing.
"Old Zhou? Holy crap! It really is you! I almost didn't recognize you!"
When Shen Hu saw that it was Zhou Tong, he immediately went over and caught Zhou Tong, who was about to fall.
"What's wrong with you? Your face looks so pale and sallow!"
Zhou Tong sighed helplessly, then waved his hand and said, "I had diarrhea! Even a hero can't withstand three bouts of diarrhea! But it's alright now! Are you going to collect your equipment?"
"Hmm! You've heard about this too?"
"Yeah! That's exactly why I came! Um, could you pick up a set for me later? I'll go with you!"
Shen Hu wanted to dissuade him, but Zhou Tong said, "Lu Yuan is my brother, I have to go this time! If you say anything more, you're not treating me like a brother!"
"this……"
Seeing the other party's insistence, Shen Hu could only sigh in the end: "Alright! You wait here! I'll go to the warehouse to get the equipment, and we'll go together!"
Then, Shen Hu helped Zhou Tong to a seat on the side.
However, just as he came out of the storeroom with equipment and antidiarrheal medicine, he saw Zhou Quan lying on the ground.
"Holy crap! Lao Zhou! What's wrong with you?"
