Chapter 116 Meow meow meow
Ye Qingquan, still outputting:
"People like you, the privileged class who think you are so rich, are not worthy of being Lan Lan's caregiver." Ye Qingquan's chest rose and fell violently. "If you want to eat Lan Lan's roast duck, just line up honestly. Don't always think of taking shortcuts. Do you deserve it? Who do you think you are!!!"
"You just casually say you want to raise a child just to have a bite of roast duck. Do you know how hard it is to raise a child? Can you shoulder the responsibility as a parent? Do you know how to change a child's diaper, push a stroller, or coax a child to sleep? Do you know how worried and self-blaming real parents would be when a child gets lost?"
"No you all don't know."
——"Because you are just a bunch of incompetent and playful idiots!"
boom.
It was like a bomb was dropped to clear the area.
As soon as Ye Qingquan said this, the snack stand fell into complete silence.
Many people seem to be chatting with friends and family, but in fact they are listening to gossip with their ears perked up, but they don't want to be too obvious.
But at this point, they could no longer pretend.
With Ye Qingquan as the center, everyone within ten meters stopped talking and looked at him in surprise.
...As a well-known substitute in the world of dribble-dribble tales, Ye Qingquan is the kind of weak bottom that was popular in the old ribald stories.
This means that in most of the content of "The Genius Baby is Three and a Half Years Old", the original author's description of him is a large number of adjectives such as "gentle", "quiet", "beautiful and elegant", and "soft-spoken".
That's pretty much the impression he gives people.
Especially after having a child, Ye Qingquan spoke more patiently and softly. He looked very good-tempered and easy to talk to, as if anyone could bully him.
In the original novel, it was because of Ye Qingquan's character that Huo Ye, the Beijing boss who had always been domineering, elegant and free and easy, gradually fell for him. He felt the warmth of home around him and finally achieved a Cinderella-style sweet happiness.
But at this time, Ye Qingquan had completely changed his appearance.
Perhaps it was because he thought of the time when Lan Lan got lost in the vegetable market. Even though it was a close call in the end, Ye Qingquan was still tortured by self-blame day after day. He was worried and didn't dare to imagine how terrible the consequences would be if something happened.
Therefore, a large part of what Ye Qingquan said was also directed at himself.
Is he really ready to be a parent? Is he really qualified to be Lanlan's parent?
...But the only thing he knew was that no matter how unworthy he was, he was still much more worthy than the group of people in front of him!
At this moment, Ye Qingquan's aura was fully open, his eyes were red, his hair was disheveled, and his words were sharp and aggressive, and he would not give an inch. The look in his eyes when he looked at Huo Ye was almost contemptuous and his pretty face was slightly distorted, but it looked so...
So strong.
No one has any doubt that in Ye Qingquan's place, no one can take advantage of him and Lan Lan.
If Huo Ran hadn't stopped him in front, Ye Qingquan might have really grabbed Huo Ye's neck and delivered high-intensity attacks to Huo Ye's face.
Old Madam Huo, Huo Ye, Huo Ran and the others were completely speechless. Huo Ran even subconsciously hid behind his mother, trembling a little.
Mu Mingqiu was trembling beside him.
...Mu Mingqiu held his face with both hands, trembling all over. Looking at Ye Qingquan's face which turned red due to anger, his eyes were full of love.
"Oh no, you're right. I've completely fallen in love with you." Mu Mingqiu took out a bunch of bright red roses from somewhere, took out a shiny, huge diamond ring, and knelt on one knee. "Please, marry me. I will never fall in love with anyone else in my life!"
Ye Qingquan: “…”
Everyone: “…………”
There seems to be something wrong with Mu Mingqiu's brain.
He just simply likes being tortured, right?
The onlookers couldn't help but complain in their hearts.
In front of the roast duck stall, the queue is still moving forward.
The little blue boss who was packing up in the front didn't seem to be affected by the dramatic situation at all. He was still immersed in the happy process of cutting and slicing the duck, greeting customers and packing the food.
...Ye Qingquan took a step forward, and Mu Mingqiu, who was kneeling on one knee, also took a step forward. He held up the diamond ring and looked at Ye Qingquan enthusiastically.
Mu Mingqiu was pressing so hard, so the three members of the Huo family next to them certainly didn't want to be outdone, and could only move forward in silence and shame.
Therefore, this strange combination moved forward step by step under the gossip eyes of the public.
until--
It was Ye Qingquan's turn in the team.
"Daddy, you want half a roast duck too, right?" The little boy skillfully took a roast duck out of the oven. The crispy skin on the duck was still sizzling and dripping with oil. "Same as before, slice it and pack it?"
Facing Lan Lan, Ye Qingquan immediately changed his expression.
His eyes softened all of a sudden, and his voice became gentle again: "Yes, Lanlan. Lanlan has worked hard, do you really not need daddy's help?"
Even with such a strong temptation of roast duck, Ye Qingquan was able to keep his attention on the child instead of the roast duck.
...As for this willpower, no one can match it.
Hearing Ye Qingquan's question, the little boy shook his head and emphasized again: "The kindergarten teacher said that parents cannot be asked to help!"
To be honest, although Ye Qingquan had been saying that he wanted to help for the past few days, when it came to setting up the stall, Jian Yunlan really didn't dare to let him interfere.
It’s no joke when they set up a street food stall.
Asking an outsider to help would delay the progress of his stall setting up, and what if something goes wrong?
The little boy skillfully cut the roast duck into two halves, placing one half aside and slicing the other half into thin and tender slices, stacking them like flowers in the takeaway box.
Soon, half of the roast duck was packed.
Ye Qingquan swallowed and took the takeaway box from the boy.
It had been more than half a day since he last ate roast duck.
That was a close call. I almost starved to death!
...The silent crowd then discovered the problem.
Mrs. Huo asked incredulously:
"Qingquan, why are you queuing?"
This time, not only Huo Ran and Huo Ye, but even Mu Mingqiu who was still holding the diamond ring, were suddenly stunned.
Yes, why is Ye Qingquan queuing?
——As Lan Lan’s father and someone who lives under the same roof with Lan Lan, as long as Ye Qingquan says that he wants to eat roast duck, can’t he eat as much as he wants? Could Lan Lan possibly refuse?
They were so envious of Ye Qingquan that they even wanted to replace him as Lan Lan's guardian, because in their imagination, Ye Qingquan must be the lucky guy who ate roast duck every day.
But here’s the thing…
Ye Qingquan never spoke to Lanlan.
Ye Qingquan walked aside silently carrying the packaged roast duck, but his eyes never left Lan Lan who was busy not far away. It had been like this since Lan Lan set up the stall for the first time.
"I know that if I ask, Lan Lan won't refuse me." Ye Qingquan smiled, "But why should I ask?"
From the first day that Lan Lan was going to set up a stall to sell roast duck, Ye Qingquan discovered that Lan Lan really liked setting up a stall, really liked working at the snack stand, liked watching the diners happily buy delicious food at the snack stand, liked the diners showing happy and satisfied smiles...
With Lan Lan's energy, selling twenty roast ducks a day is the limit.
Every roast duck should be taken away by expectant diners at the snack stall.
As a father, how could Ye Qingquan bear to deprive Lan Lan of her happiness?
Even if he was extremely greedy for roast duck, Ye Qingquan would only buy half one, so that the remaining half could be fed to more diners.
At home they are father and son. But in front of the snack stand, one of them is a busy and happy stall owner, and the other is a diner queuing seriously, that's all.
…The three people from the Huo family and Mu Mingqiu listened in a daze, as if struck by lightning.
Ye Qingquan walked away.
But they did not continue to chase after him.
After a long while...
Mrs. Huo smiled bitterly:
"He's right. We really are just diners who should wait in line obediently."
After living for most of my life, I was taught this truth by young people. It's really embarrassing.
After saying that, Mrs. Huo stopped looking at her two sons and walked to the endless long queue and lined up.
After a while.
Huo Ye and Huo Ran also lowered their heads and walked into the team in silence. Finally, there is Mu Mingqiu.
They didn't say anything, but they all knew that if they started queuing at this time, they would probably not be able to eat roast duck.
But...what if?
Several people looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
For some reason, I felt warm all over.
They were thus wrapped in the warmth of human life.
.
Ye Qingquan was alone. He found an open space on the side of the road where he could see the blue sky. He didn't care that the ground was dirty and just sat there.
Ye Qingquan dipped a piece of roast duck in duck sauce, wrapped it with cucumber and green onion shreds in a spring roll skin, and put it into his mouth...
"Delicious!" His eyes lit up immediately.
The thin and chewy spring pancake skin is filled with juicy duck meat, which is still hot because it has just come out of the oven. Chewing the crispy and juicy duck skin with the sweet and sour taste of the duck sauce, the roast duck is so delicious that you can't stop eating it.
It was already completely night.
Ye Qingquan sat under the street lamp, looking at the little boy at the roast duck stall from afar.
The light gently outlined his profile, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his lips, but for some reason, that silhouette under the light was different.
Seems... a little lonely.
This seems to be Ye Qingquan's life.
Born and raised alone, I met the person I liked in a foreign land, but in the end, nothing came of it, so I took my child to an even farther foreign land and continued to wander.
And the little life that he cared for has found its own light. He can only watch from afar, care for it, and bless it.
Watching the light go farther and farther away.
The crowd in front of the roast duck stall was bustling. Aunt Wang and her son and daughter-in-law were eating roast duck head to head, while Uncle Li was playing and joking with his neighbors. The noise could be heard from far away, but it could not penetrate the transparent high wall.
Ye Qingquan, who was alone, lowered his head and smiled.
He took a bite of the roast duck.
"It's delicious." Ye Qingquan whispered, but he tasted the sourness in his mouth, "Baby's roast duck is the best in the world."
until--
"There's half a roast duck left. Let's eat it together."
A clear child's voice rang in my ears.
