Shen Liwu's face instantly burned even redder, and the peach in her hand almost fell.
She quickly steadied her hand and glared at him in reproach, "You... why are you so talkative now?"
Zhou Yanjing chuckled, with a hint of pride in his voice, "I'm just telling the truth."
Seeing Xu Dong coming out, Zhou Yanjing became more serious, "Dongdong, have you finished your homework?"
"It's done."
Zhou Yanjing looked at Xu Dong's obedient appearance, and his eyes and brows softened a little.
He waved, "Dongdong, come here."
Xu Dong trotted over and looked up at him, "Uncle, what's the matter?"
Zhou Yanjing took out a wad of money from his pocket and handed it to Xu Dong, "This is your monthly pension, take it."
Xu Dong shook his head. "Uncle Zhou, I don't want it. You take it. I have to spend money on food and daily necessities, and you still have to take care of me. You take this money for me, and treat it as child support."
Shen Liwu watched from the side, with a smile on her lips and warmth in her eyes.
She reached out and touched Xu Dong's head. "Take it, Dongdong. Buy whatever you want. If you don't want to buy anything, save it. Your aunt and uncle don't need your money. You are our child, and it is our duty to support you. It doesn't cost any money."
Xu Dong lowered his head, holding the stack of money in his small hands, his eyes a little moist.
He raised his head to look at Zhou Yanjing, then at Shen Liwu, his voice low and choked with sobs. "But... I don't want you to spend money on me. I've already caused you trouble."
Shen Liwu felt a pang in his heart, and he reached out to pull him to his side, gently hugging his shoulders, his tone gentle but firm. "Dongdong, you are not a trouble, you are our most important person. Do you know? With you, this family is complete."
Zhou Yanjing also squatted down and looked at Xu Dong straight in the eye, his eyes steady and powerful.
"Dongdong, listen. This money is yours, you can use it however you want. But remember, don't spend it recklessly or give it to others. Save it for your future marriage. Do you understand?"
Xu Dong blinked his eyes, tears welling up in his eyes, but he nodded stubbornly, "I know, uncle."
He took the money carefully and held it in his hand as if he were holding some rare treasure. His throat moved, and his voice was a little hoarse, "Thank you, uncle, aunt."
Shen Liwu felt soft in her heart. She reached out and gently wiped the tears from his eyes. She smiled and said, "Silly boy, why are you saying thank you? Put the money away quickly and don't lose it."
Xu Dong nodded, turned around and ran back to the room, his back looking a little hurried.
Zhou Yanjing retracted his gaze and took out money from his trouser pocket. "This is my monthly allowance. I give it to you. Buy whatever you want. If it's not enough, tell me."
Shen Liwu took the stack of banknotes, rubbed them lightly with his fingertips, and felt the texture of the paper.
She looked up at Zhou Yanjing with a complicated look in her eyes, "You gave me all the money, what are you going to use for yourself?"
Zhou Yanjing smiled faintly, his eyes still gentle, "I don't need to buy anything, I can eat at home, and I don't need to wear a military uniform.
I left 10 yuan to send back home to my parents. I hope you have no objection. If you don’t agree, then I won’t send it. ”
Shen Liwu frowned slightly when she heard his words. She reached out and poked his chest, her tone a little reproachful, "What are you talking about? They are our parents. It is our duty as children to respect them. How can I have any objection?"
