Chapter 227 They've Started Competing
The seat of honor in the Wen family was naturally reserved for Wen Runxiang, and to his left, Wen Changyu arranged for Su Yue to sit there.
Song Zhenzhu sat down with her son.
He Yuzhi arranged for her to sit to Wen Runxiang's right, but she refused, saying she would rather sit with Su Yue.
He Yuzhi didn't insist and let Wu Caifeng sit down next to her.
Then Zhizhi sat next to Wu Caifeng, Wen Changyu sat next to Zhizhi, and she sat next to her own old man.
Wang Chunlan quickly brought out the dishes, a total of eight dishes including cold dishes and hot soup.
It wasn't as much as the preparations made when Wu Caifeng came to the Wen family, but it was still too much of a expense for Song Zhenzhu and her son.
As Wang Chunlan brought dishes to the table one by one, Song Zhenzhu couldn't sit still any longer. She stood up and said, "That's enough, that's enough. There's too much food, too much food."
He Yuzhi said, "Please sit down. There aren't many of us here!"
Song Zhenzhu could only sit down again, but said apologetically, "I've already caused you enough trouble..."
"Don't mention the trouble, have a seat."
Wu Caifeng pulled her aside, and she finally sat down.
Afterwards, during the meal, the mother and son seemed casual, but they never put their chopsticks into the dishes; they mostly ate the white rice in their bowls.
He Yuzhi was anxious.
Wu Caifeng, who was accompanying the guests, was very perceptive. She picked up her chopsticks and put food into Song Zhenzhu's bowl, saying, "Don't be shy, don't be shy..."
Zhizhi also helped Wu Caifeng pick up some food, saying, "Mom, you should eat too."
Wen Changyu was sitting next to his daughter. Seeing this, the hand holding the bowl unconsciously leaned towards his daughter.
He added more food to Zhizhi's bowl, saying, "Eat more."
"Don't work too hard. The most important thing for you right now is to take good care of yourself."
Zhizhi nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I know, Dad!"
"I just felt that staying at home doing nothing was too boring, so I thought about going out for a walk and making some money along the way."
Wen Changyu put more food on his plate, saying, "Hmm, eat more vegetables."
"Thank you, Dad. My bowl is already full."
"Oh, okay, okay, eat, eat!"
Wen Changyu put down his chopsticks, looked at his bowl, and started shoveling rice into his mouth.
Zhizhi seemed to have finally realized something, and quickly picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in Wen Changyu's bowl. "Dad, try this braised pork. I think it's cooked well."
Commander Wen immediately grinned happily, "Dad loves braised pork the most, let me try some, let me try some..."
Then Commander Wen took a bite, his face beaming with the happy smile of an old father. "Delicious, delicious, the piece you put on Dad's plate is delicious."
Seeing his expression, He Yuzhi didn't know whether to be angry or amused. Then the old lady held out her bowl and said, "Zhizhi, give Grandma a piece. Let Grandma taste it and see if it's really as delicious as your dad said."
Zhizhi "..."
Okay, okay, they've started comparing themselves to each other.
After serving the old lady, Zhizhi looked at her grandfather sitting across the long table, holding a bowl.
I simply got up.
Wen Runxiang quickly said, "Don't get up, Grandpa will just take the bowl over there."
Zhizhi shook her head. "It's alright, it won't bother me. I'm young and agile."
"But you're pregnant..."
"It's alright, I've been eating well and feeling great."
All Zhizhi can say is that the baby in her belly is indeed a good baby. From the time she got pregnant until now, the baby has been incredibly well-behaved and has never caused her any trouble.
Such a sweet baby.
Wen Runxiang still stood up, "We still need to be careful!"
They've already picked up the food here.
Zhizhi simply turned around and put some food in Su Yue's and Song Zhenzhu's bowls as well.
Song Zhenzhu was flattered and kept thanking them.
Su Yue held the bowl, her neck half-red, and her "Thank you, sister" was barely audible.
Zhizhi sat back down and urged everyone, "Eat, eat."
Wen Changyu kept piling food onto her plate, feeling it was all his fault for making his daughter run around.
Zhizhi watched as the small mountain in the bowl piled up again as soon as she ate it, and she couldn't help but ask, "Dad, have you ever seen someone die from overeating?"
Wen Changyu shook his head; he really had never seen it.
Zhizhi said, "You'll see him soon."
After saying that, he let out a burp.
Everyone at the table couldn't help but laugh.
Su Yue smiled too, his dark pupils looking at Zhizhi with amusement in them.
After finishing their meal and chatting for a while, Song Zhenzhu and her son got up to say goodbye.
He Yuzhi asked, "Have you found a place to stay here yet?"
Song Zhenzhu shook her head. "I've found a guesthouse. I'll stay there."
He Yuzhi casually suggested, "Why don't we stay at home? There are spare rooms available."
Song Zhenzhu shook her head, "I've already paid for the guesthouse, and I paid for a few extra days. They won't give me a refund if I don't stay, so I don't want to cause you any trouble."
He Yuzhi didn't insist, after all, they weren't that close.
Song Zhenzhu left, but unexpectedly, the next day, Zhizhi saw her and Su Yue again at the entrance of the scenic area.
When Song Zhenzhu saw Zhizhi and her mother-in-law, she happily walked over and said, "Zhizhi, big sister, you two are really here!"
Zhizhi put the money in her bag before speaking to Song Zhenzhu, "Aunt Song!"
Song Zhenzhu nodded, pointed to Su Yue beside her, and said, "I was really interested in what you said yesterday, so I thought I'd have Xiao Yue show me around today."
"I was wondering if I'd run into you, and I never expected to actually do."
As they were talking, someone pointed to the sign hanging up and said, "Two bracelets for one dollar and eighty cents..."
"Boss, how much is this bracelet?"
"One dollar!"
"So expensive?"
“These are all good stuff, they’re all made of agate, not ordinary glass beads.”
“You can take a look,” Zhizhi said, taking a bracelet from the shelf and handing it to the other person.
The man's wife took it, put it on her wrist, and nodded, "It really looks pretty."
Zhizhi then gave her another bracelet, saying, "It will look even better if you wear it together."
As she spoke, Zhizhi reached out and slipped the bracelet onto the person's wrist.
The other person took one look and exclaimed, "It looks great!"
"Absolutely! You're so beautiful, you look good in anything!"
The compliment made the other person cover their mouth and laugh, "So how much would these two cost together?"
"A bracelet costs one yuan, a bangle costs three yuan, that's four yuan in total, and I can throw in a hair tie for you."
The man was displeased upon hearing this, "Four yuan sounds awful..."
He had barely finished speaking when Zhizhi said, "Considering how beautiful your wife is, how about three yuan and eighty cents?"
"888, may you prosper!"
"Will you still give me the hair tie?" the woman asked.
Zhizhi immediately untied a hair tie for her and said, "Of course, you're so pretty. Even if you don't buy anything from me, you can ask me for it and I'll give it to you."
After Zhizhi finished speaking, she even gave the other person a flirty wink.
The flirtatious glance was directed at the woman, while Su Yue, standing beside her, blushed and then looked away.
The man who was buying things quickly took out his money, grabbed his wife, and left.
"How much are the bracelets?" someone else asked.
When selling things, Wu Caifeng only helped carry the items; she relied almost entirely on Zhizhi to do the talking.
So Wu Caifeng took over the task of speaking to Song Zhenzhu.
Looking at the things being sold on the shelves, Song Zhenzhu said, "Big sister, I don't think you brought much stuff!"
Wu Caifeng said, "I didn't dare bring too much. We only sold for one morning and went back in the afternoon."
