Chapter 285 Uninvited Guests
On New Year's Eve, Wen Shuqiao started preparing dinner at seven o'clock.
Cancan wanted to eat hotpot, and Wen Shuqiao planned to make a tomato base. Since they were a group of one big and one small, they couldn't eat much, so they prepared all kinds of meat and seafood.
If I didn’t finish eating today, I’ll make some maocai tomorrow and I’ll still be full.
Cancan is doing her job - peeling garlic - very enthusiastically.
Cake and milk were lying next to him, keeping him company.
As he peeled the peel, he asked, "Aunt, is uncle really not coming today?"
My aunt bought so many delicious foods, it’s such a pity that my uncle can’t eat them!
"My uncle has gone to accompany his grandfather. We can't finish all this food. Maybe he will come over tomorrow and we can eat together." Wen Shuqiao was looking for the tomato base seasoning in the cupboard, but he couldn't find it no matter how hard he tried.
After thinking carefully, I remembered that Cancan wanted to eat tomato beef brisket last week, so she used it up.
Wen Shuqiao closed the cabinet, picked up the mobile phone beside her, and prepared to order some takeout.
She arranged that as soon as the Spring Festival Gala started, she and Cancan would sit at the coffee table, watching the Gala while eating hotpot, which was very comfortable.
Just as I was about to open the food delivery app, I received a surveillance alert.
After waiting for a while, I didn't hear any doorbell or knocking on the door. It shouldn't be Shen Jiazhou, and Shen Jiazhou was at the old house at the moment, so it was impossible for him to come.
She looked up at the entrance in confusion, then opened the surveillance app to see who it was.
After clicking on it, I found out that it was the surveillance prompt at the door of Shen Jiazhou's house.
After Shen Fang and Xu Zhen came here once before, Shen Jiazhou asked her to download an app so that she could see the scene at the door at any time.
Later, when they moved in, Shen Jiazhou also installed one at their door. They were of the same model and used the same app. The previous binding was not deleted, so they could see the scene at each other's door.
She clicked on the surveillance record at the door of Shen Jiazhou's house in confusion. One minute ago, Shen Jiazhou returned home.
Um?
Didn’t Shen Jiazhou go to the old house?
Wen Shuqiao looked through the previous records again, which included the time he went out and the time he came back.
She put down her phone, looked at Cancan who was peeling garlic seriously, thought for a moment and said, "Baby, come here."
When Cancan heard his aunt calling him, he immediately stood up and walked to her: "Officer Aunt, is there anything I can do for you?"
Wen Shuqiao bent down and handed him the phone: "Don't you miss your uncle? Ask your uncle if he has finished his meal. When he gets home later, do you want to come over?"
Cancan nodded and saluted: "Okay, I'll wash my hands first!"
The peeled garlic smells a bit, so he has to wash it to make it smell nice before touching his aunt's phone!

Shen Jiazhou entered the room, changed his shoes, and without turning on the lights, he walked directly to the sofa with the help of the light from the window and sat down. He leaned back with the back of his head against the sofa, staring blankly at the extremely dark ceiling.
The Shen family’s New Year’s Eve dinner started at 7 o’clock, but he left at 7:15.
After looking at the ceiling and thinking for a long time, Shen Jiazhou came to a conclusion.
He is mentally retarded.
He was deceived by just a few words. What was wrong with his brain?
The cell phone placed beside me dinged and emitted a light in the room.
He took out his cell phone and saw a WeChat message from Wen Shuqiao.
Shen Jiazhou clicked on the voice bar, and Cancan's voice came out.
"Uncle, are you back? When you come back, do you want to come to our place and watch the Spring Festival Gala together?"
Shen Jiazhou's stern expression relaxed a little, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "I'm still at the old house, and I won't come today."
He didn't know how to tell Cancan and Wen Shuqiao that he didn't eat a single bite of the reunion dinner and came back full of anger.
Today is New Year's Eve, so I won't go and cause trouble for them.
Shen Jiazhou sighed and sat up. Other families were celebrating the New Year, but his home was deserted.
Soon, Cancan's message came again.
"Okay then, uncle! Aunt said her property management sent a message saying there will be fireworks downstairs. If you don't come back, then I won't go to watch it."
"Uncle, if you go home and see other kids setting off fireworks, please take some photos for me! I want to see them!"
There was unconcealable disappointment in both voice messages.
Are there any kids setting off fireworks downstairs?
Shen Jiazhou flipped through the pages and sure enough, at five o'clock a property manager sent him a message, which roughly meant that there were free fairy wands downstairs, and owners with children at home or who were interested could go downstairs to play with them.
He returned to Wen Shuqiao's WeChat and said, "Okay, I'll take a picture for you."
Cancan sent a big heart.
Shen Jiazhou leaned on the sofa for a while and finally stood up.
Anyway, I have nothing to do right now, so I'll go downstairs and take the pictures now, and send them to Cancan later to report. Otherwise, the kids downstairs will go home later and I won't be able to take any pictures.
He left home and just walked out of the elevator, he heard the laughter of children. Looking outside, he saw a few children running outside with sparklers in their hands.
Shen Jiazhou walked out and a cold wind blew in his face, blowing the loose hair on his forehead upwards.
He stood in front of the building, looked at which side had more children, then took out his phone and turned on the camera mode.
After taking a picture, he glanced down.
I feel a little disgusted, the photo doesn’t look good.
He picked up his phone again and this time he started recording a video, capturing all the laughter and joy in the camera.
After filming for nearly a minute, Shen Jiazhou was about to press the pause button, but the moment he touched it, he was stunned.
Two "uninvited guests" appeared in his camera.
Shen Jiazhou raised his eyes from the screen and looked at the person standing ten meters away from him.
He blinked slightly; they were still there.
Cancan looked at Shen Jiazhou standing still in the distance, with a happy smile on her face, and ran towards him with the bag in her hand: "Uncle!"
Shen Jiazhou watched Cancan fly into his arms like a little bird, and only after she hugged him did he feel a sense of reality.
Wen Shuqiao and Cancan really appeared in front of him.
He glanced at Cancan who was hugging his waist in a daze, and couldn't help but raise his head and look at Wen Shuqiao.
Wen Shuqiao was holding a bag in one hand, holding a cake in the other, and carrying a cat bag on his shoulder.
But she still smiled.
She took a step, one at a time, and walked towards him.
Shen Jiazhou felt that the frequency of his heartbeat was in sync with her pace.
