Can Can hugged her uncle's waist, but felt that her uncle was not hugging her tightly as usual, but rather resting his arm loosely on her shoulder.
He looked up in confusion, only to find that his uncle's gaze was not on him.
What's going on? Why isn't my uncle looking at me?
Can Can opened her mouth and said, "Uncle, you—"
He had barely uttered three words when his uncle pulled him away and strode towards... his aunt.
Can Can stood there, looking a little dazed, carrying her things.
[Record this, hehehe, record this, hehehe.] The system couldn't help but laugh.
That's hilarious, so hilarious! My uncle is acting so silly, hahaha!
Can Can scoffed: "You're the idiot."
My uncle is the smartest adult besides my aunt!
Shen Jiazhou quickly approached Wen Shuqiao, reached out and took the bag from her hand. He gently weighed it in his hand, his handsome brows furrowing slightly, but quickly relaxing.
At this moment, his heart felt as if it were filled with something, as if it were swollen, yet he also felt that it was soft.
He opened his mouth, wanting to ask her why she brought Can Can here, but found that he seemed to have lost his voice, his throat tight.
He wasn't usually like this, but at this moment, he just couldn't say anything—or rather, at this moment, he didn't know what to say.
Finally, Wen Shuqiao spoke first: "There's meat in the bag. We'll have hot pot later. Let's go upstairs, or we'll miss the Spring Festival Gala."
When Wen Shuqiao learned that Shen Jiazhou had returned home, she had already guessed what was going on. In fact, she was still very willing to spend the New Year with Shen Jiazhou; she couldn't let him stay at home alone in a cold and lonely atmosphere.
Whether it's two people celebrating the New Year or three people, it's still the same. Everyone is having a lively time, and naturally, their moods are different.
Shen Jiazhou looked down and slowly uttered an "oh," finally regaining his vocal cords.
He said, "I'll carry the milk."
Wen Shuqiao shook her head: "No need, we're already at the door, let's go upstairs."
Shen Jiazhou hummed in agreement, then reached out and hooked the cake's reins with his long, slender fingers: "Then I'll lead the cake."
The cake was already very familiar with this place, so it didn't even need to be led; it could get to the elevator by itself.
But Wen Shuqiao glanced at him and finally loosened the reins.
After Shen Jiazhou got the cake, his heart gradually settled back down.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face relaxed.
Can Can crossed her arms like Shen Jia Zhou usually did, and looked up at the two adults: "Auntie and Uncle, you two are so slow."
Shen Jiazhou freed one hand and patted his head, unusually not arguing: "Let's go home."
He glanced at what Can Can was holding in her hand: "What are you carrying?"
Can Can said dejectedly, "Uncle, did you just notice I was carrying things?"
I just nudged him a little, and he started walking towards his aunt!
Shen Jiazhou coughed lightly. He hadn't noticed it just now, but he couldn't say that, so he said indirectly, "I saw it, but it looked so easy for the baby to carry it. I think it's great that the baby can carry it. It's amazing."
Cancan was appeased again, and he chuckled, "It's garlic I peeled, along with scallions, chili peppers, and..."
Once someone was relaying the message, Cancan's little mouth didn't stop talking from downstairs all the way into the house.
But for some reason, Shen Jiazhou was very glad that Can Can was a chatterbox today, at least there wouldn't be any awkward silences between him and Wen Shuqiao.
He didn't know what he was feeling awkward about, but he just felt really awkward.
Once inside, Shen Jiazhou first untied the rope holding the cake, and the cake, like a mythical beast released from its cage, began to run around the house as soon as the rope was untied.
He placed the items on the entryway cabinet and then looked at Wen Shuqiao in front of him: "I'll get the milk out."
As he spoke, he also raised his hand to help lift the strap on her shoulder, making it easier for her to take off the cat carrier.
With Shen Jiazhou's help, Wen Shuqiao quickly took off the cat carrier.
Shen Jiazhou weighed the milk in his hand and couldn't help but say, "Why is it heavier again?"
My arms weren't this tired when I was holding it a couple of days ago.
Wen Shuqiao stretched her stiff shoulders: "The cat and dog food you buy is all highly nutritious, how can they not get fat?"
Shen Jiazhou nodded: "It's okay, being a little chubby is cute too."
Wen Shuqiao glanced at him, thought for a moment, and then reminded him, "...Don't spoil him."
Whether it's cats, dogs, or even adorable animals, it's best to tone down the filters.
Wen Shuqiao took out her phone and glanced at it: "It's 7:45. The Spring Festival Gala will start in 15 minutes. Everyone, stop idling and get to work in the kitchen."
Can Can held up the bag and saluted: "Roger that! Auntie, Officer!"
Shen Jiazhou, also worried about being too slow, quickly said, "I'll be right there after I put the milk out. It'll only take a few seconds."
Wen Shuqiao hummed in agreement and took the bag to the kitchen.
Some of the ingredients have been processed; now all that's needed is to wash them and cut up any parts that weren't completely cut.
There's also the preparation of the pot base.
She put the things down, opened the kitchen cabinet, and sure enough, she saw the tomato base and the butter base.
Wen Shuqiao took out the hot pot that hadn't been used much and was about to start adding the broth when Shen Jiazhou suddenly appeared: "What am I doing here?"
Wen Shuqiao said, "Take all the vegetables out of the bag and pack them in. I'll cook the broth."
Shen Jiazhou rolled up his sleeves and started working efficiently; he was becoming increasingly adept at these tasks.
