Chapter 143 Brush
Song Yan smiled as he watched his son's face flush and his failed attempt to hide his small body behind his legs. Seeing his little movements, the remaining sadness in Song Yan's heart finally dissipated, and he held him in his arms, nuzzling his nose. "Why are you shy now?"
Fu Chen let out an awkward "that" laugh and buried his face in his mother's neck, trying to hide from the world.
Song Yan and Wei Mingzhi saw his actions and both smiled silently. Wei Mingzhi raised her hand and handed over the hat that Fu Chen had left in the park. "I'm here to return this. He completely forgot about his hat when he was playing with the kids in the building." She smiled, waved it in the air, and pressed it on Fu Chen's head. "Next time, you must wear it properly, otherwise it will be like I brought back a cooked octopus."
Fu Chen's face turned even redder, because when he was at Fu's house, he rarely had the opportunity to play with his friends, and he was a little too excited, running around in the park and being chased by his aunt. He didn't think much about it at the time, but now that he was back, he couldn't help but feel that he had played too wildly.
He murmured in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Auntie."
"I'm really sorry." Song Yan said as he took off Fu Chen's hat and put it on the cabinet, then ruffled his hair. "If he runs around like a top, you must be very tired."
"It's okay." Wei Mingzhi said, patting Fu Chen's back and comforting him. She was not angry with him. "Compared with other children in the park, it's not a big deal. He is a little low-key."
Then she clapped her hands and smiled apologetically. "Look at this, I forgot the reason for coming to see you. Your brother called and said he was going to have dinner with his colleagues in the office outside. Apparently, he was going to a famous restaurant alone to eat seafood." Wei Mingzhi seemed very angry when she mentioned this. "So I was thinking, should we also have a hot pot."
Before Song Yan could answer, Fu Chen turned his head sharply, swallowed his saliva, and looked at his aunt. He didn't seem to know what it was, but it must sound delicious, because he seemed very excited at the thought of eating hot pot.
Seeing how excited he was, Song Yan couldn't refuse, so he said a little embarrassedly, "If you don't mind, sister-in-law, can you let me get the ingredients for the hot pot?"
Wei Mingzhi smiled and waved her hand, refusing: "You're off work, so you don't have to run around anymore, right? There are just a few things I can still handle." Then she waved her fist and hyped herself up. "I may not look like it, but I've saved a lot of money."
Song Yan had no doubts about Wei Mingzhi's ability to save money, but she still insisted on buying the ingredients. After all, she was eating 'Grade A' duck meat, while her sister-in-law was running around taking care of her son. This was the least she could do.
So she took Fu Chen to the supermarket, which was a ten-minute walk around the corner.
"Wow, mom, look at this!" Fu Chen, who had never stepped out of the Fu family's house because of his father's strict protection, couldn't help but excitedly say when he saw the large bags of meat piled on the supermarket shelves. "So much meat! Do you want to buy all of it?"
Song Yan tapped his head with her index finger and scolded him softly. "What are you talking about? Can you eat so much?" She said so, but under Fu Chen's persuasion, she still took three bags of frozen meat.
In addition, she also brought a lot of vegetables, which made Fu Chen make vomiting gestures.
"Keep doing it, you'll be the one eating the most vegetables tonight." Song Yan warned. She noticed that Fu Chen had stopped eating vegetables since his brother spoiled him too much, and was even willing to eat green peppers. And Fu Chen secretly stuffed some into his bowl. "And your uncle won't come to save you today."
Suddenly, Fu Chen straightened up. Not only did he stop pestering Song Yan not to buy vegetables, he also began to help her choose vegetables that she could handle. The two of them walked around for a while, and Song Yan finished shopping, walked through the aisle of the supermarket, and was about to go to the cashier to pay, when her cell phone rang.
She took it out of her back pocket in surprise and found that it was an unfamiliar number. Not wanting to talk in front of the receptionist, she made a "wait a minute" gesture and walked to a corner to answer the call.
Fu Chen, who was left behind, looked at the cashier, then at his mother who was on the phone, then looked at the cashier again and smiled awkwardly.
The cashier smiled at him and whispered, "If your mom doesn't come in the next five minutes, you will pay for all your groceries."
Fu Chen: “…”Is this a threat?
He looked back at his mother, hesitated for a moment, and then took out the black card his father gave him last time. The arrogance in his tone was quite similar to Fu Yusheng's. "Swipe it."
The cashier was about to joke with the little boy: “…” Is this a black card?
