"Auntie gave me a lollipop. Is she a good person? Can I eat it?"
"Well, she is a good person, let's eat."
…
After talking to the children for a long time, Shen Shiyu remembered to take a taxi. Just as he took out his mobile phone, a car driving next to him stopped in front of them.
The car window was rolled down and it was Zhang Jie.
"What a coincidence?" Shen Shiyu greeted.
"Yes, I passed by and I looked like you from a distance," Zhang Jie said.
Shen Shiyu smiled. "I'll pick up the child for my friend."
"Where are you going? I'll see you off." Zhang Jie was very generous and walked down and opened the door.
"No need to worry, I can just take a taxi."
"It's troublesome to take a taxi. I'm really embarrassed about what happened before. I'm going to do you a favor and treat it as my apology."
What Zhang Jie was talking about was the last time the two of them had a drink at a restaurant. He was so drunk that he only remembered to call Shen Shiyu when he got up the next morning to confirm that she was fine. He had been looking for an opportunity to apologize in person.
The two shied away for a while, but later they were really enthusiastic. Shen Shiyu felt that it would not be good to park the car here for a long time, and Chu Wuzheng's house was neither close nor far from here, so he took Chu Jing and got into Zhang Jie's car. car.
On the way, Zhang Jie apologized for what happened last time and said that he wanted to invite her to dinner that night, but Shen Shiyu found a reason to refuse.
She felt that Zhang Jie was very sincere, and she wouldn't be able to bear it if he was asked to live a makeshift life with her, so she didn't want to delay him.
At a red light on the way, Zhang Jie picked up the topic again. He turned back and glanced at Chu Jing. "Is this your relative's child? He looks a bit like you."
Shen Shiyu glanced at Chu Jing after hearing this. She didn't pay much attention to it, just thinking that he was being polite and looking for something to say.
She smiled lightly. "She is my friend's daughter."
The car stopped at the community where Chu Wuzheng lived. Shen Shiyu thanked Zhang Jie. Zhang Jie said he would wait for her, but she quickly declined politely.
After taking Chu Jing upstairs, Shen Shiyu took the key she gave him and opened the door.
"Come in, bye." She said.
Chu Jing had already stepped forward with one foot, but when he saw her, he took it back again.
"Auntie, come in with me."
Shen Shiyu waved his hands quickly. "No, I'll just send you home. Your father should be back soon."
"Auntie, please wait with me for dad to come back." Chu Jing pulled Shen Shiyu's clothes. "I'm scared alone."
The child pouted, looking pitiful. Who could refuse?
Shen Shiyu had no choice but to follow her in.
The inside of the house was still the same as the last time she came here, but it seemed to be tidier. It seemed that there must be a good wife and mother in this family.
As soon as Chu Jing entered the house, she took the landline at home and called Chu Wuzheng. After saying a few words, she called Shen Shiyu over.
"Hello." Shen Shiyu put the phone to his ear.
The environment on the phone was a bit noisy, he was probably still busy.
"Jingjing just said that she is hungry, please help her cook some food." Chu Wuzheng said calmly.
What?
Questions popped up in Shen Shiyu's head. What he said was that he really used her as a nanny, right?
"There are vegetables in the refrigerator, and the pots and pans are in the kitchen cabinets. You can use whatever you have at home."
"...Can I take her out to eat?" Shen Shiyu held her forehead.
"I don't want her to eat food from outside, that's it. I'll go back when I'm busy." After Chu Wuzheng finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Shen Shiyu almost smashed the phone... It belongs to your uncle! If you hadn't been able to curse in front of your children, I would have sprayed you bloody!
Putting down the phone, Shen Shiyu took a deep breath.
Fortunately, Chu Jing was really cute. Shen Shiyu calmed down a lot at the sight of her little face, and couldn't help but think that it wouldn't be difficult to cook a meal for her.
"Auntie, come with me to wash your hands." Chu Jing pulled her into the bathroom.
She turned on the faucet for Chu Jing, watched her pick up the soap, and followed her eyes around the sink.
Sets of towels, sets of toothbrushes and tooth cups, and all daily necessities are neatly arranged, one blue and one pink, plus a colorful children's model.
Putting such things together, anyone can see a warm family of three.
Chu Wuzheng's idea has not changed after so many years. He once told her that if he uses blue and she uses pink for the things at home, they look right.
"What if we have a child?" Shen Shiyu asked him.
Chu Wuzheng raised his eyebrows arrogantly. "Let her choose. Anyway, she is not allowed to use the same one as us."
The voice in the memory seemed to ring in my ears, and the scene described was clearly visible in front of me, but the protagonist in it was not her.
This feeling cannot be described, but Shen Shiyu knows that it is in his heart, and it is as violent as the waves.
"Auntie, you can use this to wipe your hands." Chu Jing pulled off the pink towel.
Shen Shiyu was like facing a hot potato and hurriedly avoided it.
"No, Auntie, let's go cook for you." She rubbed her wet hands on her clothes and walked out of the bathroom as if she was running away.
There were a lot of vegetables and fruits in the kitchen refrigerator, but not much meat. Shen Shiyu had no choice but to simply stir-fry two vegetarian dishes and steam some rice.
"Auntie, don't you want to eat?" Chu Jing asked while sitting at the dining table.
Shen Shiyu shook his head. "I'm not hungry, you can eat."
Chu Jing finished a bowl of rice quickly, and Shen Shiyu served her some more. Seeing how delicious she was eating, she felt that the meal was worth it.
"Who usually cooks for you?" She wiped Chu Jing's mouth.
"My grandma, and Aunt Zhang."
Shen Shiyu was a little strange. "Who is Aunt Zhang?"
"Aunt Zhang is the aunt who cooks at our house." Chu Jing said.
Putting down the tissue, Shen Shiyu sighed silently. Chu Wuzheng was such a good man that he had an upright image and he could never bear to burden his wife.
Just as I was thinking about it, this good man came back.
Chu Wuzheng opened the door and saw the two people sitting at the dining table. He suddenly lost consciousness for a second, then closed the door and lowered his body to catch Chu Jing who was running over.
"Dad, I miss you."
"Dad misses you too." Calculating carefully, he and his daughter really haven't seen each other for more than half a month.
