Chapter 456 Lantern Festival
Li Man and Huo Jiansheng went to the supermarket and bought a lot of vegetables.
I also bought some fruit and snacks that Huang Duoduo likes.
The two returned home carrying large and small bags of things.
Upon seeing Zhang Yan, Huo Jiansheng politely greeted her, "Hello, Auntie!"
"Yes," Zhang Yan responded happily, and quickly took the bag from Huo Jiansheng's hand: "You've really worked hard. Are you tired? You should go and rest first. Auntie can do it."
Huo Jiansheng smiled and said, "I'm not tired, let me help you."
"No need, no need, you go and rest, I can do it myself," Zhang Yan said warmly.
Li Man took off her coat and casually hung it on the hook in the entryway. She said, "Mom, don't worry about it. Jian Sheng and I will cook for you today and make you a Manchu Han Imperial Feast."
Zhang Yan smiled so hard her wrinkles appeared. "Okay, then I'll sit and wait for the food."
Huang Duoduo stood to the side, looking somewhat awkward.
Zhang Yan winked at her.
She then awkwardly called out, "Uncle Huo, Mom."
Huo Jiansheng looked at Huang Duoduo and responded cheerfully, "Hey, hello there! Duoduo."
"Hello, Uncle Huo," Huang Duoduo said with a smile.
Li Man was somewhat surprised by Huang Duoduo's change. She subconsciously looked at Zhang Yan, who winked at her with a smug look on her face.
Li Man smiled, handed the snacks she bought from the supermarket to Huang Duoduo, and said, "This is what your Uncle Huo bought for you. They are all your favorites."
Huang Duoduo happily accepted it, "Thank you, Mom! Thank you, Uncle Huo!"
"Alright, you watch TV with Grandma, Mom and Uncle Huo are going to cook," Li Man said with a smile.
"Okay," Huang Duoduo replied, happily carrying the bag to the sofa and sitting down.
...
Huang Dehan returned to his place where he had stayed the night before, carrying a bowl of instant noodles.
Because he didn't know where to go.
He put the braised egg and ham into the instant noodles before slowly eating them.
After finishing his instant noodles, he casually tossed the container into a corner.
Then I fell asleep immediately.
When I woke up, it was already afternoon.
He wasn't in a hurry to go out because he wanted to wait until it got dark.
He spent sixteen yuan today, and he has 144 yuan left.
He has enough money to eat for a few more days, so he's not in a hurry to go out and find more.
They said they were looking for money, but they were really just robbing people.
As darkness fell, the last rays of sunlight disappeared below the horizon.
After it was completely dark, he stood up, dusted himself off, put on a mask, and went outside.
Sleeping directly on the ground was too cold, so he wanted to go out and find a wooden board or a cardboard box to place on the ground.
He went back to the convenience store he had visited at noon earlier that day.
The boss saw him and greeted him warmly: "Off work already?"
Huang Dehan nodded in response.
He walked to the shelf and grabbed the instant noodles with practiced ease.
Seeing Huang Dehan eating instant noodles again, the shop owner said, "It's the Lantern Festival today, why don't you treat us to something better? How can we eat instant noodles every day?"
Huang Dehan said, "I haven't been paid yet, I have no money."
The boss clicked his tongue twice and said, "I see you're not young anymore. Are you married? Is your family burden too heavy?"
Huang Dehan ignored him, nodded perfunctorily, and opened his instant noodles.
The boss understood immediately and took the kettle to add water for him.
Huang Dehan asked, "Boss, do you have any empty cardboard boxes here?"
The shop owner smiled and said, "Of course I have them. I have plenty of cardboard boxes here. What size do you need? I'll find you one."
