Chapter 121 Dinner with Uncle Chicken Wings
"Jiaojiao, come and change your clothes."
Shengxia stood at the door of the room and called her daughter who was playing with Lego.
Jiaojiao heard her mother calling her, put down the things in her hands, and ran towards Shengxia.
"Mom, I'm coming!"
At this time, the heating in the house had started, and the room was very warm. Shengxia took off her daughter's home clothes and changed her into clothes for going out. Autumn clothes, sweaters, and a furry bear coat.
"Mom, where are we going?"
After changing clothes, Jiaojiao stood still obediently and let Shengxia braid her hair.
Shengxia answered her daughter's questions with her mouth, and her hands kept moving, tying her daughter's soft hair into two small tufts.
"We'll have dinner with Uncle Chicken Wings later."
Jiaojiao raised her head happily when she heard Uncle Chicken Wings.
"You like Uncle Chicken Wings so much?" Shengxia was a little jealous. They had only met once, and Mr. Chen had always looked serious. She didn't know why her daughter liked him so much. She talked about him many times after returning home.
"Chicken wings, delicious."
Shengxia laughed when she heard that: "Jiaojiao turned out to be a little glutton..."
"Jiaojiao is not a glutton!"
After dressing up Jiaojiao, Shengxia quickly changed her own clothes and put a little bear hat with ears on her daughter. The whole person was wrapped up round and cute.
"Mummy! Baby is so cute." Shengxia couldn't help but kissed her daughter.
"Mom is so beautiful!" Jiaojiao also smiled and imitated her mother and kissed her.
After the mother and daughter had packed up, Shengxia took out the gift she had bought for Chen Shu yesterday when she took Jiaojiao out.
Chen Shu helped Jiaojiao, and Shengxia felt that no matter how big the gift was, it would not be too much. However, even though she only saw him briefly on Friday, she could tell that the other party was wealthy. After thinking about it, she decided to let Jiaojiao choose the gift. Regardless of the value, it was at least thoughtful.
...
"Uncle Chicken Wings!"
The two of them met near Shengxia's company this time, which was near where Chen Shu had met Jiaojiao last time.
Chen Shu arrived a little earlier and stood at the door of the restaurant waiting for the mother and daughter.
Shengxia saw Chen Shu from a distance and couldn't help but get nervous again. As she was thinking about what she should say when they met later, Jiaojiao had already seen Chen Shu and called him excitedly.
After getting closer, the two adults met each other. There was nothing to say, and they just nodded at each other.
Jiaojiao was very happy, and she jumped to hold Chen Shu's hand.
Shengxia was stunned, and before she could stop her, her daughter had already held her hand.
The two of them were now holding Jiaojiao on each side. Shengxia felt a little strange, but it seemed wrong to let go of her hands, and she was very embarrassed for a moment.
"Let's go in." Chen Shu said to Shengxia.
Shengxia nodded, and after thinking about it, she let go of her daughter's hand, letting Chen Shu lead her in, and she followed behind the two of them.
Jiaojiao was a little confused when her mother let go of her hand, but when she looked up and saw that her mother was still there, she felt relieved and let Chen Shu lead her into the restaurant.
After sitting down, the two of them scanned the code to order food, eliminating the need for communication.
Chen Shu didn't come here to eat, and he didn't need food. He ordered two dishes and put down his phone. Seeing Jiaojiao sitting opposite him looking at him with big eyes, his heart softened and his expression became gentler.
Silence...
While waiting for the dishes to be served, Shengxia took the lead and said, "Mr. Chen, thank you so much for what happened that day. If you hadn't met her, I don't know what would have happened." Shengxia
thanked Chen Shu again solemnly, and took out the gift chosen by Jiaojiao and handed it over.
Without waiting for Chen Shu to say anything, Shengxia continued, "This is Jiaojiao's own choice." As
soon as these words came out, Chen Shu swallowed his words of refusal and reached out to take it.
"What did Jiaojiao buy for uncle?" Chen Shu asked Jiaojiao with a smile.
"Chicken! Cluck, cluck, cluck,"
Jiaojiao answered without hesitation and giggled again.
?
Hearing this answer, Chen Shu couldn't help showing a surprised expression.
Shengxia explained to her daughter with an embarrassed look: "Actually, it's a ceramic ornament in the shape of a parrot, and Jiaojiao mistook it for a chicken." When Jiaojiao wanted to buy it, Shengxia didn't know why, but this ornament was indeed very delicate and suitable for a gift. Shengxia thought her daughter had a good eye and picked such a beautiful thing at once, so she didn't think much about it and bought it directly.
After leaving the store, she asked and found out why, it turned out that she mistook the parrot for a chicken.
As for why she wanted to buy a chicken... Shengxia understood it, needless to say.
Chen Shu was the same. As soon as he heard the word chicken, he knew why Jiaojiao chose this as a gift for him.
Chen Shu opened the box in front of Jiaojiao and saw the ceramic parrot ornament inside.
"Thank you, Jiaojiao, uncle likes it very much."
"It has chicken wings!"
Jiaojiao was still young and her way of expression was relatively simple, but the two adults present understood what she
meant. This meant that the parrot on the ornament also had "chicken wings." After the meal, Chen Shu and Shengxia didn't say a few words. Chen Shu has never been a talkative person, and Shengxia is the same, not to mention that she was a little nervous in front of Chen Shu, let alone speechless.
So at the dinner table, only Jiaojiao occasionally uttered a few childish words, and the two adults took over her words.
After dinner, Shengxia went to pay the bill. Before she could dial the payment code, Chen Shu directly handed over his phone from the side to pay.
After paying, he took Jiaojiao out.
Shengxia hurriedly said: "Mr. Chen, it was agreed that I would treat you." Chen
Shu raised the bag in his hand: "I have already received the thank-you gift, so you don't have to treat me to dinner."
Her husband died, and she lived alone with her child. In order to raise the child, she had to go out to work late at night, and she even accidentally lost the child. I think life is not easy.
The gift was bought, and it was Jiaojiao who chose it, so Chen Shu didn't refuse, so forget about treating him to dinner.
"Just think of it as me treating Jiaojiao."
After hearing this, Shengxia didn't know what to say.
This Mr. Chen seemed to like Jiaojiao's appearance very much, but she didn't know why.
Chen Shu also saw Shengxia's expression, smiled and said, "Jiaojiao looks a lot like my sister when she was a child."
Of course, he didn't mean in appearance, but just a feeling, which Chen Shu himself couldn't explain.
"Sister?" Shengxia originally wanted to ask how old your sister is, but she saw the look and tone of Chen Shu's voice when he mentioned his sister, as if he was missing her.
So the words turned around in her stomach and she didn't ask them out loud, in case... it would remind people of their sad memories.
"I'll take you home."
Chen Shu drove the car over, and Shengxia took Jiaojiao to sit in the back seat. She lived not far from here.
"Uncle Chicken Wings! Will you come to play with Jiaojiao next time?"
When they were having dinner just now, Shengxia also taught her daughter to call him Uncle Chen, but she agreed well at the time, but in the blink of an eye, she still called him the same way.
Chen Shu was driving and did not look back, but you could hear his gentle tone: "Of course, next time Jiaojiao misses uncle, you can call uncle."
