Chapter 14: The Fourteenth Mom
At night, many food ingredients in the supermarket were labeled with discounts, "-25%", "-30%", and even "-50%", which made Bai Chuanmu very excited.
It was just that they arrived a little late, and the ingredients with discount labels had already been picked up by a wave of people. Even so, there were still many people "fighting" left.
If you don’t grab it now, it will be gone!
Baichuanmu pushed the shopping cart and resolutely joined the "battle", completely ignoring the voice of Xiaoxia Youjie who wanted to get out of the shopping cart.
Xiaoxia Youjie: QAQ
Ingredients with discount labels do not necessarily mean they are bad; this is also a form of promotion.
Bai Chuanmu picked and chose, buying some meat, eggs and vegetables. All the discounted seafood was gone, so she also bought a bag of fresh river shrimps, picking out six of them. Each shrimp was as big as half her palm.
After being weighed, labeled and put into the shopping cart, they were still very lively. Bai Chuanmu watched the bag of shrimps roll from the upper left corner to the lower right corner, then tumble to the lower left corner, and then jump back to the starting point.
Yeah, very spirited.
"Mom..." Xiao Xia Youjie called weakly.
Baichuanmu then remembered that there was a little Xia Youjie in the shopping cart.
Yes, I have a cub too!
She picked up the bag of shrimps carefully and picked up a corner with two fingers. It seemed as if she was holding not a bag of shrimps but a hairy crab waving its claws.
Baichuanmu was so eager to eat hairy crabs after hearing this, but now was not the season for them, so he had to wait a few months.
Bai Chuanmu handed the bag of shrimps to Xiao Xia Youjie, who took it subconsciously. Before he could react what was happening, Xiao Xia Youjie looked at the bag of shrimps jumping happily in his hand with a pouting mouth. He did not throw the bag of shrimps back into the shopping cart, but just silently stretched out his arm to keep it away from him.
"Xiao Jie, this is also a kind of experience."
Xiaoxia Youjie:...?
"Experience...training?"
"Yes!" Bai Chuanmu nodded repeatedly, and made the pit boy sound righteous. "If you can't even deal with a few small shrimps and feel scared, how can you deal with the more terrifying curse spirits?"
"Yeah! I understand!" Little Xia Youjie nodded seriously. He didn't carry the bag of shrimps so far away, nor did he hold the edge of the bag. He held it with his two little hands.
His expression was serious and solemn, as if he had been entrusted with an important task.
"Um, Xiaojie..."
"It's okay, Mom. I can do this."
"No, I mean..."
"Mom, believe me, I can do it!"
Bai Chuanmu pursed his lips. Indeed, their Xiaojie was very brave and strong, but... if he continued like this, the shrimp would die.
"...Actually, Mom wants you to be gentler because we are going to eat it tomorrow morning." Bai Chuanmu's tone revealed helplessness.
"...Okay, Mom." Xiao Xia Youjie felt a little embarrassed and didn't squeeze the shrimp so tightly.
I didn't buy many snacks, just a few packs of tomato-flavored and original-flavored potato chips, and some chocolate Daifuku.
The fruits were not on sale and were still very expensive, but Bai Chuanmu still reluctantly bought a bunch of grapes because Xiao Xia Youjie loved them.
As for drinks... Baichuanmu took two large boxes of coconut juice and two cartons of soy milk. Both of them had a "-20%" discount, but the expiration date was about two months away, so they could be finished within the shelf life.
"Xiaojie, do you want to eat anything?"
Baichuanmu asked Xiaoxia Youjie this question several times, but Xiaoxia Youjie's answer was always the same, and this time was no exception.
"I don't have anything special I want to eat, just listen to mom."
Baichuanmu thought about it and decided that it was almost time to go back. After Xiaoxia Youjie finished eating the Curse Jade, he could feed him chocolate Daifuku and soy milk. That should be enough to suppress the disgusting taste.
When Bai Chuanmu passed by the freezer, he couldn't help but grab a bottle of Coke for himself. He turned around and saw Xiao Xia Youjie's eyes sparkling, and he seemed to want to drink Coke too.
Baichuanmu had never forbidden Xiaoxia Youjie from drinking carbonated drinks in the past, but he rarely bought them for him. He mainly drank boiled water and milk, and occasionally fruit juice.
Bai Chuanmu thought about it, then took out a small bottle of Coke from the freezer. She placed the regular bottle and the small bottle of Coke side by side in the shopping cart.
Xiao Xia Youjie blinked, with surprise in his eyes.
"Adults drink from the big bottle, and children drink from the small bottle~"
"good!"
Xiao Xia Youjie looked very happy. He kept his eyes on the two bottles of Coke and hummed.
The tune sounds familiar, like someone humming a nursery rhyme?
But Baichuanmu couldn't remember what nursery rhyme it was, but that didn't stop her from thinking that Xiao Xia Youjie hummed it beautifully.
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, children's happiness is so simple.
…
Bai Chuanmu returned home carrying a big bag of things, and the two bottles of Coke were held by Xiao Xia Youjie.
Their home is an old tube-shaped building, and there is a high school nearby, so it is considered a school district house. There are also some sundries piled up in the corridor, which seem to be thrown here by neighbors. They are not garbage, but they are things that they don’t need for the time being but don’t want to throw away.
It seems particularly messy and crowded, and the atmosphere in the corridor has become depressing.
"Mom," Xiao Xia Youjie pointed to a wooden board, "There is a cursed spirit there... no, two."
"Huh?"
Bai Chuanmu was stunned and looked in the direction Xiao Xia Youjie pointed. She could only see a few worm-eaten wooden boards and a few bundles of old books.
Bai Chuanmu narrowed his eyes, trying to see something, but it was in vain.
"One looks like a puppy, with yellow and blue skin... and traces of stitches? It's sticking out its tongue, and has three eyes, about..." Xiao Xia Youjie gestured to size it, about the size of a Chihuahua, "this big. The other one is a small black fish, only the size of a palm, and it's circling around the puppy... Mom, I want to turn them into Curse Spirit Jade as well, what should I do?"
Bai Chuanmu thought for a moment and said, "Well...if we defeat them...I should be able to turn the curse spirit into a curse spirit jade, right?"
"Okay!" Xiao Xia Youjie looked very excited.
Xiao Xia Youjie put two bottles of Coke on the ground, rushed forward, and waved his little fists at the "air". After a while, he returned to Bai Chuanmu with two balls of "air" in his hands, and tilted his head to show Bai Chuanmu the two balls of "air" in his hand.
Although he couldn't see it, Baichuanmu was the first to praise the child: "Wow~ Xiaojie is great, now you can tame three cursed spirits!"
"Hehe!" Xiao Xia Youjie laughed happily.
However, at this time Baichuanmu thought very "unconscionably" that he hoped you would be so happy when you eat the Cursed Jade later.
Well, don’t get me wrong, she is a mother who loves her children and is very reliable… maybe?
