When Wen Shuqiao came out of the room, she saw Shen Jiazhou sitting on the sofa, while Cancan moved a small stool and sat on the coffee table. The two of them were writing something with paper and pen.
She walked over, and Shen Jiazhou was the first to look up and explain, "I'm teaching him to write."
When Can Can heard his uncle's voice, he turned to look at Wen Shu Qiao and said, "Auntie! Uncle is teaching me to write Mommy and Daddy's names!"
Wen Shuqiao moved closer, hands behind her back, and bent down slightly: "Hmm, it's really well written. How come Cancan is so amazing today?"
Can Can also looked down at the words on the paper. Although his writing still looked like a worm, it was already super impressive for a little boy with no foundation.
While Can Can was focused on her writing, she quickly pulled out the six hundred yuan in cash that Shen Jiazhou had asked for from her pocket, turned around and stuffed it into Shen Jiazhou's hand, then pretended that nothing had happened: "You will definitely write better in the future!"
Cancan said crisply, "Yes!"
Compared to their harmony, Shen Jiazhou was clearly a beat slower to react. He was staring at the cash in his hand, still not quite having recovered his senses.
What a strange experience, having to sneak around for 600 yuan in cash.
Wen Shuqiao hadn't heard him speak, and couldn't help but turn to look at him. When she met Shen Jiazhou's gaze, she gestured to him with her eyes.
Shen Jiazhou then realized what was happening. He took a breath and straightened his upper body slightly: "Baby."
Can Can turned around and looked at him, and immediately saw the red grandfather in Shen Jiazhou's hand!
Wow! So many red envelopes!
Shen Jiazhou was amused by his reaction. He unfolded the bills in his hand one by one and handed them to Cancan: "Take a look, is it right?"
Can Can rubbed his fingers together and asked, "Uncle, are you really going to give them all to me?"
Happiness came so suddenly!
Shen Jiazhou said, "Yes, it's really for you."
Can Can then extended his hands and politely accepted the wad of money that was his!
He counted carefully: "One, two..."
Wen Shuqiao corrected, "It's one, two."
Cancan nodded and counted again: "One, two, three, four..."
Wen Shuqiao blinked, and Shen Jiazhou was also helpless. He said, "When counting money, you should use 'Zhang' instead of 'Ge'."
Then he couldn't help but add, "He's a money-grubber, but he can't even count all the money."
Can Can said seriously, "Uncle, you can't say that to me. It will make me sad. Also, I will count them!"
Shen Jiazhou reached out and cupped his face in his hands: "Hmm? Let me see, where are you sad?"
With the money in his hand, his eyes crinkled into crescent moons, and he still had the nerve to tell him he was sad.
Can Can tried hard to make a sad expression, but she couldn't even hold it for a second before she burst into laughter, revealing her teeth. She then started acting spoiled, rubbing her chubby chin against Shen Jiazhou's palm: "Uncle, don't bully me."
Shen Jiazhou withdrew his hand: "Where did you learn to act cute?"
He then looked at Wen Shuqiao, who said, "I don't know either. He was being affectionate with me like that today too."
She looked at Can Can and said, "Baby, show your uncle how you act cute."
Shen Jiazhou was about to say no when Cancan grabbed his wrist and placed it next to her cheek, just like she had in the afternoon, rubbing against him like a kitten: "Uncle~ thank you for the money!"
Shen Jiazhou pinched his cheek with his other hand. Can Can didn't react in time and kept rubbing against him, which resulted in his face being deformed by his uncle.
He stared at Shen Jiazhou in disbelief. Good heavens, how could his uncle do this?!
Shen Jiazhou said, "That's how I am."
Can Can looked pleadingly at Wen Shu Qiao, who was standing to the side: "Auntie..."
My uncle is so mean!
Wen Shuqiao chuckled lightly: "Alright, stop fooling around. I'll go heat up the things you brought. Are there any precautions?"
Shen Jiazhou said, "I had a lot of desserts made. It's getting late, so please heat them up a bit."
Wen Shuqiao nodded, walked to the dining table, opened the lid of the box, and found that it had two layers, one with red beans and the other with osmanthus. She carried it into the kitchen.
I took two plates out of the cupboard, then cut them into pieces with a fruit knife.
Glutinous rice is hard to digest, so it's best to have a small amount late at night. Eating too much might upset your stomach.
She put the plate in the microwave and closed the door. Then she noticed someone had entered the kitchen. Turning her head, she saw Shen Jiazhou.
Wen Shuqiao glanced at him and then looked away. She raised her hand and set the microwave. This kind of pastry wouldn't heat up for long, about a minute would be enough.
Shen Jiazhou walked in and stood with her in front of the microwave oven.
Wen Shuqiao asked, "Is he still writing?"
Shen Jiazhou hummed in agreement: "I'm writing."
There are some things he can't say in front of the child. There's still a long time before Can Can falls asleep, and by the time Can Can falls asleep, it will be late, and he'll feel bad about staying any longer.
He continued, "I've reached a temporary agreement with them. When are you free? Would you like to go out for a meal together?"
Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but look at him: "Should I go too?"
Shen Jiazhou didn't mention this during the phone call that afternoon.
Shen Jiazhou said, "If you're willing, we can go together."
Personally, he still hoped that Wen Shuqiao would go with him. Although Cancan was very dependent on him now, he still hoped that Wen Shuqiao could help maintain order and at least cover Cancan's ears when he wanted to criticize everyone.
