Zhu Yunxi looked at the woman in front of him. Her eyes were big and bright, and his appearance was reflected in them.
"Don't be so polite, just call me by my name," he said.
Su Liuer's anger was instantly extinguished. So this was what he meant.
"Ahem, Zhu Yunxi."
"Name, no need for surname." Zhu Yunxi corrected her.
Su Liuer nodded perfunctorily and continued, "Yunxi, it's such a waste to order so many dishes and not be able to finish them. Order less?"
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Zhu Yunxi was very obedient. She turned to Fang Yuanshan and said, "Just the first three dishes we just ordered."
"Yes, yes, three dishes are enough. Yuanshan, go quickly." To prevent Zhu Yunxi from regretting it, Su Liuer quickly asked Fang Yuanshan to leave.
After ordering the dishes, Su Liuer had nothing to do. She went to put away the rice and flour she had bought and placed them against the wall behind the table.
Zhu Hongan reached out and pulled her sleeve:
"Who?" He pointed at Zhu Yunxi who was sitting there and asked.
Su Liuer thought for a moment and said, "He's an uncle who helped my mother before, so I'm not afraid."
"Yeah." Zhu Hongan was not afraid to begin with, and he was even less afraid when he knew it was someone who had helped his mother.
He must practice hard so that he can help and protect his mother like his uncle in the future.
"Madam Su, it's almost time. I'm going to the town entrance to see if Mrs. Wang has arrived." Fang Yuanshan came out of the kitchen and said to Su Liuer.
Su Liuer stood up and walked out: "I'll go with you, Hongan, you wait here."
Zhu Yunxi watched the two of them leave the restaurant, and he waved to Zhu Hongan.
Zhu Hongan walked over.
"You're a real man if you can keep a secret." Zhu Yunxi praised, then took out a small slingshot from his arms and handed it to Zhu Hongan.
Zhu Hongan reached out to take it, felt it up and down with a look of joy, and even tried to flick it.
"Hide it well so your mother doesn't find it. Try it yourself when you get back, and I'll teach you."
"Hmm!" Zhu Hongan stuffed the slingshot into his arms, and a bulge appeared on his clothes.
Zhu Yunxi raised her hand and tapped Zhu Hongan's little head: "If you hide things like this, your mother won't find them unless she can't see."
Zhu Hongan touched his head, thought seriously for a moment, then turned around and walked away with the slingshot.
He ran to the back of the table, where there were bags of rice and flour and a very small cloth bag containing the toys his mother bought him today. He put the slingshot in the bag as well, then carried the cloth bag and walked over to Zhu Yunxi.
Zhu Yunxi looked at the little guy who was presenting a treasure, holding up the bag for him to see.
My heart felt both sad and soft, but my face was still tense and serious.
"Yes, sure."
Zhu Hongan grinned briefly, then held the small cloth bag and put it back, carefully as if he was hiding some treasure.
Soon, the dishes were served one by one. Zhu Yunxi ate while keeping an eye on the movements at the restaurant entrance.
When Su Liuer came back, she was still with Fang Yuanshan, and Wang Po walked slowly behind them.
"Madam Su, you and Granny Wang can take a rest. I'll move the rest." Fang Yuanshan was carrying the heaviest things, and his head and face were covered in sweat after one trip.
When Su Liuer saw it, she handed over the towel and said, "Wipe your sweat first."
Fang Yuanshan waved his hand, turned around and ran away without taking the handkerchief. Su Liuer's hand was still in the air, and she smiled helplessly.
He complained to Mrs. Wang beside him, "This child is too shy." It was just a sweat towel, not a woman's handkerchief. It was a piece of blue coarse cloth without even a flower embroidered on it.
"Child? You were already pregnant with Hong'an when you were his age." Mrs. Wang shook her head, and Su Liuer seemed to see something meaningful in her eyes.
