Chapter 279 Extra: Baby Zong (17)
The director finally realized what was happening. He quickly stood up straight, coughed lightly, and looked at the guests in front of him.
"Ahem, good morning, teachers."
"Good morning." Xu Wang and the others greeted the director, suppressing a laugh.
"This morning, the children's task is very simple: to take a bus to town to buy things, including lunch ingredients, daily necessities, etc. The shopping funds are provided by the program team, 100 yuan per child. All the guest teachers need to tell the children what they need to buy before they leave. Please note that whatever the children buy at noon, that's what the teachers will eat for lunch." The director smiled and took four envelopes from the assistant director. To make it easier for the children to calculate, the director put 10 ten-yuan bills in each envelope.
………………
After receiving the envelopes from the director, the little ones ran back into their parents' arms.
Pei Yi leaned against Xu Wang's chest, while Pei Yanchuan squatted in front of him, telling him about the ingredients he needed to buy in town that day.
"Yiyi, when you go to town today, you need to buy some pork belly, green peppers, and bok choy for me and your stepfather, okay?" Pei Yanchuan spoke slowly, but very clearly.
To prevent Pei Yi from forgetting, Pei Yanchuan repeated it several times, especially emphasizing the three ingredients.
"I've got it." Pei Yi said earnestly after repeating it several times with his father.
"If there's any money left, Yiyi can buy a toy she likes too," Xu Wang said with a smile, looking at Pei Yi in his arms.
Pei Yi nodded happily upon hearing his stepfather's words.
Pei Yanchuan squatted down to the side and looked gently at the two people, one big and one small, speaking in front of him.
Gu Yunlan and Qin Huai were also looking at Wenwen with serious expressions.
But Wenwen hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation yet. He watched as his other little friends wriggled around, wanting to play with them.
"Wenwen, do you know what you're going to do in town today?" Gu Yunlan asked with a serious expression.
"Play!" Wenwen shouted excitedly, his loud voice successfully shattering Gu Yunlan's last hope.
“It’s not for fun. You need to go to town to buy groceries. If you don’t come back with groceries, your stepfather, you, and I will go hungry at noon.” Gu Yunlan said, gently patting her round little belly.
"Hungry! No!" Wenwen keenly grasped the key point, and his chubby little hands began to wave wildly.
“I know Wenwen doesn’t want to go hungry, and neither do Daddy and Little Daddy, so Wenwen needs to buy some tomatoes and eggs from town, ah!” Gu Yunlan was slapped on the head before she could finish speaking.
Qin Huai withdrew his hand expressionlessly: "You swore to me that the vegetable you were talking about was tomatoes? Do you really have no idea about your own weight?"
“Wife, the tomato is too…” Gu Yunlan tried to struggle, but when he turned his head and saw his wife smiling beside him, he consciously shut up.
Qin Huai withdrew his dangerous expression and turned to look at Wenwen: "Wenwen, you need to go to town to buy tomatoes, eggs, and bok choy."
Gu Yunlan wilted at the mention of "little green vegetables".
Hou Yunqi and Xia Yu's instructions went very smoothly.
Hou Youyu counted on his fingers what he needed to buy: "Pork ribs, carrots, broccoli."
"Yes, yes, Yu Yu, you're so smart." Xia Yu gave the little guy in her arms a big kiss on the forehead.
Hou Youyu shyly turned her head and buried herself in her father's arms.
Xia Yu couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle as she watched the little guy's shy back.
Yunxi was also gently instructing Dian Dian that the ingredients she needed to buy were minced meat, soft tofu, and eggplant.
Just as Dian Dian remembered, and Yun Xi went upstairs to get him a hat, Jiang Xiu Bai suddenly approached Dian Dian.
"Dian Dian, could you bring Uncle a tomato-flavored hot pot base too?" Jiang Xiubai whispered to Dian Dian.
"Hot pot!" Dian Dian's food radar went off instantly. He always saw his older and younger fathers eating hot pot, and it smelled so good, but they said it was spicy and he couldn't eat it.
Dian Dian swallowed hard, thinking about the hot pot he had been wanting to eat but had never had before. He nodded readily and patted his little chest, indicating that he would take care of it.
When Yunxi came down, he had no idea what secret deal the uncle and nephew had made. He put a hat on Dian Dian, and the director called the little ones to get ready to go to town.
Xu Wang and the others watched as the four little ones boarded the black van prepared by the production team.
Afterwards, led by the assistant director, the group sat down in the courtyard to watch the performance of the children on the big screen.
The car arrived in town quickly. At nine in the morning, the town was neither too crowded nor too quiet.
Because the market was too crowded, the production crew took the four children to the entrance of the town's largest supermarket for safety reasons.
Four adorable little ones, dressed in different outfits and wearing hats of different colors, stood hand in hand at the supermarket entrance, immediately attracting the attention of many grandparents, uncles, and aunts.
After entering the supermarket, the four little ones each pulled a shopping cart and went their separate ways.
Pei Yi held a doll in one hand and pulled the cart with the other, walking earnestly on the white tiles.
There were tall frames on both sides of him.
"Little bok choy, little bok choy," Pei Yi muttered as he walked through the shelf area and arrived at the vegetable section.
Pei Yi looked at the vast expanse of green around him and, unusually, fell into deep thought.
Pei Yi carefully examined each one and finally found the bok choy he wanted to buy.
Pei Yi's eyes lit up when he saw the bundled greens in front of him. He walked over to a supermarket employee and asked them to get him a bag. Then, he let go of the shopping cart, stood on tiptoe, and picked out the freshest-looking bunch of greens from the pile.
However, because the bunch of vegetables was quite far away, Pei Yi couldn't reach it even though he stretched his arm out as far as he could.
The supermarket staff standing nearby were completely captivated by the cuteness.
She took the initiative to step forward and handed the bunch of greens leaning against the top to the cute little child in front of her.
"Thank you, Auntie." After sincerely thanking her, Pei Yi put the vegetables into the bag in his hand and then gently placed them in the blue shopping basket behind him.
