"This is the tobacco leaves I personally picked for Uncle Li at the tobacco plantation. This is food for Little Stone, and there are also some fruits."
"Where did you get the money?"
"Didn't I leave 10 yuan for myself last time? I also borrowed some from Uncle Qi, the gatekeeper. It's barely enough. My ability is limited, so this is all I can prepare."
Shumei followed Wencai and explained to him hesitantly.
Wencai was very unhappy when he heard that Shumei actually went to borrow money from outsiders and was unwilling to ask him.
"Who told you to be so sentimental? It's not your turn to prepare gifts for my family! And you're so ungrateful that you borrow money from others instead of asking me."
Wencai suddenly stopped and turned around to scold Shumei.
"What's wrong with always bothering you?"
Wencai didn't say anything else, turned around and walked angrily towards his car.
Liu Jiang was already standing by the car door waiting for the two of them. When he saw Wencai coming, he opened the door for Wencai as usual and welcomed Wencai into the car.
Shumei quickly followed, went around to the other side of the car, and took a lot of effort to open the door. She threw all her bags on the seats before squeezing in.
Qing Ke was not far away, having just rushed over from Wencai's company. Wencai said he was going back to work, so she went to the company and saw that the door was locked and there was no one there. In desperation, she had no choice but to chase Wencai home.
As soon as Qing Ke arrived at Wencai's house, she saw Wencai's car parked at the door and knew that Wencai was going out. She didn't rush to get out of the car. She wanted to find out what Wencai was doing behind her back.
She saw Wencai and Shumei coming out of the building and watched them get into the car together. She suddenly had a bad feeling.
How could it be her? Why was she at Wencai's house? Why was she with Wencai? Qingke had a thousand questions in her mind at this moment. She was so excited that she wanted to get out of the car and find out what was going on, but reason made her give up the idea of getting off.
"Catch up with the car in front later. Remember, don't lose it, or you'll be in trouble."
Qing Ke angrily ordered the driver in the car.
"Yes, miss."
The driver nodded in response, his eyes fixed on Wencai's car, afraid of losing it.
"Mr. Li, where are you going today?"
Today is Sunday. Generally, talents don't go out on Sundays. If they want to go out, the most they can do is ask Liu Jiang to take him to pick up Qing Ke.
Wencai went out today with a nanny and carrying so many bags. Liu Jiang really couldn't guess where he was going.
While Liu Jiang was watching Wencai's reaction in the rearview mirror, he also glanced at Shumei, whose face was filled with joy.
Wencai thought for a moment, looked up and down at Shumei beside him, and returned to Liu Jiang: "Let's go to the mall first!"
"Wencai, it's already late, why are you still in the mood to go shopping? Hurry up and go to Uncle Li's place!"
After hearing what Wencai said, Shumei quickly spoke out against Wencai before Liu Jiang could respond.
Liu Jiang's hand, which was about to turn the car key, suddenly stopped because of Shumei's words.
Wencai didn't take Shumei's words to heart at all. He leaned back in the car seat, turned his head to the window, looked at the scenery outside, and waited for Liu Jiang to drive to the department store.
But at the same time, Liu Jiang was also waiting for Wencai to speak, whether to go or not.
"Wencai, please say something! Why don't you stay silent?"
Seeing that Wencai didn't say anything, Shumei continued to persuade him.
"Jiang, didn't I tell you to go to the department store? Why aren't you driving yet?"
Wencai once again gave Liu Jiang the command with certainty. Liu Jiang responded, started the car and drove towards the department store.
Shumei kept trying to persuade Wencai to not forget what he had promised her last night. She was afraid that Wencai would regret it and back out again.
"Could you please stop talking? If you keep talking, I really won't go."
“I…I…”
Wencai probably felt that Shumei's chattering was too annoying, so he couldn't help but shout at her to stop.
Seeing Wencai's fierceness, Shumei thought he was really angry and didn't dare to say anything more. Wencai rarely said harsh words to her, and the two of them had a tacit understanding, like friends.
Wencai's abnormal behavior was due to the fear and terror he felt in his heart as he was about to meet his uncle Li, whom he hadn't seen for four years.
The car drove to the door of the department store and stopped.
"Mr. Li, we're at the department store."
"Yeah! You wait for us in the car, I'll go buy some things."
"good."
Liu Jiang responded and quickly got out of the car to open the door for Wencai.
Shumei didn't understand what Wencai was going to buy, so she didn't plan to get out of the car and prepared to wait for him in the car with Liu Jiang.
Wencai dressed up specially today, wearing a clean and tidy shirt, a pair of pure black trousers, and his leather shoes were polished to a shine.
The more he cares about his clothes and appearance, the more he cares about his image in Uncle Li's eyes and wants to show his best side to Uncle Li.
After Wencai got off the bus, he subconsciously pulled his wrinkled sleeves and looked up at the department store sign.
"Mr. Li, you really don't need me to accompany you? Then who will help you carry your things?"
"No need, isn't she here? Go back to the car and wait!"
Wencai pointed behind him with his thumb, thinking that Shumei would follow him out of the car.
"But...she...doesn't seem to be planning on getting off the bus."
Liu Jiang leaned over and glanced at Shumei in the car. Shumei was sitting there with her legs crossed, looking relaxed and contented.
Wencai heard the sound and turned to look into the car.
"Shumei, what are you doing? Get out of the car quickly."
"If you want to go shopping, go by yourself. I don't have the time to accompany you. But hurry up, I still want to go make lunch for Uncle Li!"
