Because they were worried about Yueyue, the two ate very quickly, finishing a bowl of wonton noodles in no time.
Chen asked the shop owner for two more steamed buns, intending to take them home for his daughter.
"That'll be five yuan and eighty cents in total." The shopkeeper handed him the plastic bag.
How could I forget about the money!
Under the kind gaze of the steamed bun shop owner, Chen Shi, who was unaware of his own financial situation, awkwardly reached into his pocket and pulled out a large wad of bills.
Looking at the few cents in his hand, Chen Shi was so moved he almost cried.
Fortunately, I wasn't penniless, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.
The money was just enough to pay the bill. After paying, Chen Shi, who was penniless, went home with Ji Beiqing.
As he reached the door, the thought of his mother's face and her sarcastic way of speaking made Shen Shi even want to turn around and leave.
"Hey! You two old folks, you actually know how to come back?"
As expected, as soon as the two entered, Chen's mother, who was sitting on the sofa knitting, glanced at them and made sarcastic remarks.
Sitting on the sofa was Shen's father, smoking a cigarette.
In the previous worlds, Shen Shi had never encountered such a bizarre creature.
"Mom, if you really have nothing better to do, why don't you find a job?"
"You're always looking for trouble, it all comes down to you being bored," Chen Shi suggested sincerely.
Upon hearing this, Mother Shen immediately shouted, "You little brat..."
"presumptuous!"
This time, even the usually silent father spoke up.
"You brat, how dare you talk to your mother like that!"
Shen Guogang slammed his pipe on the ground and addressed Shen Shi, saying...
Shen Shi also found this chauvinistic old man, who loved to smoke, quite displeasing.
"Dad, smoking is harmful to your health. You should smoke less. It's not good if you get lung disease."
I would like to offer my sincere advice again.
Upon hearing this, Shen's father flew into a rage. For a son to dare to talk back to his father was a great disrespect.
"How dare you curse my father! You've gone too far!"
Just as he picked up his pipe to smash it.
Fortunately, Shen Shi was a nimble fat man. He pulled Ji Beiqing into the room and quickly locked the door from the inside.
"Open the door! If you're so capable, hide inside. Why can't you open the door?"
"Good heavens! Everyone, please come and judge this..."
Whoever opens it is an idiot. No matter how much Chen's mother yelled and cursed, Chen Shi just wouldn't open it.
Mother Shen's loud voice woke up Shen Yueyue. She blinked her sleepy eyes and stretched out her little arms.
"Mommy, hug me~"
Ji Beiqing gently held her in his arms.
Feeling completely ignored by her daughter, Chen Shi took out a steamed bun from her pocket, trying to get attention.
"Yueyue, look what this is?"
"Big steamed bun!"
Shen Yueyue's sweet, childlike voice is absolutely adorable.
Who can resist an adorable little daughter? I certainly can't.
He immediately broke the steamed bun in half: "Yueyue, take this and eat."
Shen Yueyue ate the big steamed bun in her hand with a satisfied look on her face.
Since she was only three years old, Shen Yueyue was full after eating one piece, and no matter how much Shen Shi coaxed her, she wouldn't move on the remaining one.
"You can eat it!"
Knowing her daughter well, Ji Beiqing knew she had already eaten and spoke to Shen Shi.
Looking at the big steamed bun in his hand, Chen Shi swallowed hard.
I'm not hungry, you eat it!
Ji Beiqing was quite surprised by his actions.
Shen Shi's appetite was so great that he could easily eat a whole cow, yet he was full after just one bowl of wonton noodles; he was clearly lying.
"Just eat what I tell you to eat, why are you asking so many questions?"
Knowing that his wife was concerned about him, he was secretly pleased even when she scolded him.
"You eat it, I'm on a diet."
Thinking of his weight of 180 pounds, he insisted.
Ji Beiqing was quite surprised and glanced at Chen Shi's swimming ring.
Noticing her gaze, Shen Shi awkwardly sucked in his stomach.
Ji Beiqing's gaze shifted to Shen Shi's round face, and then he nodded in agreement: "It's time to lose some weight."
Shen Shi heard the sound of his self-esteem shattering.
"Wife, you're too direct," he said, burying his head in the blanket.
Ji Beiqing ate the steamed bun with a big smile on her face.
Shen Yueyue thought her father was playing hide-and-seek with her, so she covered herself with the blanket.
The small room was filled with laughter and joy.
Since there was only one bed in the room, the three of them had to squeeze together, with Shen Yueyue sleeping in the middle.
"Mommy, I want to hear a story."
She hugged Ji Beiqing and made a request in a childish voice.
"Long, long ago, a beautiful princess lived in the castle..."
A gentle voice filled the room, and Shen Yueyue fell asleep as she listened.
Looking at the mother and daughter, Shen felt incredibly happy.
In the room separated by a wall.
"My second brother made Mom angry again today. It's not that I, as his sister-in-law, am scolding him, but you naughty little brother, all you do is wait at home for food all day, and Mom still spoils him!"
Listening to Lin Fang's string of complaints, Shen Yu impatiently turned over and faced away from her.
Seeing him like this, Lin Fang reached out and pushed him: "Always like this, do you think I'm being nosy? So I'm an outsider, and you Shen family are the only ones who are family!"
Shen Yu felt that his wife was meddling in things that didn't concern her, and when she continued to complain, he sat up abruptly.
"Are you ever going to shut up? This is none of your business!"
Lin Fang became much more obedient after being yelled at like that.
"I'm doing this for the children. Feiyang is getting older, and he can't keep sharing a bed with us forever."
When she realized that her husband was annoyed by her, Lin Fang changed her strategy and started with her son.
This is also a knot in Shen Yu's heart; living with the child makes it inconvenient to do anything he wants.
