"Dad, you said you would take me out to play today."
Liu Jiayi pursed her lips, grabbed Liu Jiacheng's sleeves and swayed gently.
"Hmm...ok!"
"Dad didn't forget."
He put down his engineering books, then stood up from the sofa and put on his coat.
This is what he and his daughter agreed on!
Because he had to go to military divisions frequently, he spent less and less time with his wife and children, so he made an agreement.
As long as he is at home, he takes his daughter out to play every weekend.
Unbeatable!
"Are you going?" He looked at Lou Xiao'e.
"You two, father and daughter, go ahead. I'll rest at home and clean up."
"You really don't want to go?"
he asked again.
"I'm not going!" Lou Xiao'e smiled.
"Jiayi, let's go then."
Liu Jiacheng was pushing the bicycle in front, while his daughter's little hands were resting on the seat behind.
"Jiayi, where do you want to play today?"
After leaving the compound gate, Liu Jiacheng took his daughter and rode aimlessly on the street.
"Let's go to the department store!"
"I haven't had candy from there in a long time."
Liu Jiayi's little hands grasped his clothes tightly, and she had already begun to fantasize about the taste of candy.
"Mom said, don't let you eat so much sugar, it will easily lead to tooth decay..." Before he finished speaking, he felt that his daughter seemed to be angry, so he changed the topic: "But... it's okay to eat less.
"
"Thank you dad!"
"Let's go now."
Liu Jiayi, who was sitting in the back, chuckled.
…
The department store market is particularly lively on weekends.
Not only the first floor, but also the place selling four major items on the second floor was crowded with people.
Although these people are dissatisfied, there is still no charge for taking a look.
In particular, televisions, which have only recently appeared in people's field of vision, are particularly attractive.
…
"Dad, where is the candy seller?"
Liu Jiayi has no interest at all in these four major items, furniture, etc. on the second floor.
Because she has them all at home!
All she wants is candy that is not available at home.
"Dad will take you to buy it later."
He also understood his daughter's thoughts very well. It was not even sunny yet, so if he really wanted to take her to buy candies...
God!
This girl can eat for half a day.
Buy it when you leave at the end, so you can save a few bucks.
This set of experience was taught to him by Lou Xiaoe, who often takes care of children.
Although Lou Xiao'e said she would not let Liu Jiayi eat candies, who knows whose children.
Lou Xiao'e knew very well that her daughter would definitely want it when she came out, and Liu Jiacheng would definitely buy it too.
"Let's go quickly!" Liu Jiayi urged.
"Okay, go right away!"
"Mom said the antenna at our house was broken and asked me to buy one when I go back."
"Let's buy an antenna for mom first and go back."
Liu Jiacheng took his daughter's little hand and quickly arrived at the place where TVs were sold.
Here he also met an old acquaintance...
"Mom, have you really been here before?" A little boy who looked to be only three years old lay in the arms of a woman.
"Of course! Mom has lived here for several years before, and she has visited all the department stores."
"But you can't tell your father about this!"
The woman looking after the child is none other than someone else.
It was Qin Jingru who had lived in the compound for some time before.
But since Xu Damao's accident, he has never been seen again.
From the fact that Qin Jingru has a child, it is not difficult to tell that she is married again. From the clothes she is wearing now, it can be seen that she is probably married to a country man.
Perhaps it was because Liu Jiacheng had been staring so hard that Qin Jingru happened to turn her head...
"Liu Jiacheng?" Qin Jingru was stunned for a moment and showed an awkward smile: "What a coincidence!"
"It's quite a coincidence. I came here to buy something."
"Take a look around, this...this is my son."
“Very cute!”
The two briefly chatted.
Maybe it's because Qin Jingru no longer lives in the compound, or maybe it's because after so many years, there is no longer so much grudge between them.
From the conversation, he knew that Qin Jingru had indeed remarried.
I just found someone from the same village!
"Dad, do you know that aunt?" Liu Jiayi asked with her little face raised.
"Well... we know each other!"
"You lived in the courtyard in our backyard before you were born."
Xu Damao's house has been allocated for a long time in recent years.
But because he has been outside all the time, he is not very familiar with the new neighbors.
"oh!"
"Then let's go buy candy."
Liu Jiayi's few words brought the topic back to her major events.
"Okay, my little ancestor!"
"We'll go buy it after we finish buying the antenna."
Liu Jiacheng said with a smile.
"Shouldn't we buy candies first? How tiring it is to hold the antenna like this."
Liu Jiacheng raised his eyebrows slightly. This made sense, but why did he feel that his daughter was playing tricks on him again?
“It’s better to buy an antenna first!”
He will not forget the death order given by Lou Xiaoe before coming out.
Never eat more than three pieces of candy!
…
After shopping around the department store, Liu Jiacheng took his daughter to buy candies and went home.
During this trip, he bought food and supplies, including the antenna, which cost him a full ten yuan.
Fortunately, his family background is strong enough and he is an eighth-level engineer.
If it were an ordinary family doing this, they would probably have to check their household registration...
…
"Auntie, the meal is ready. I'll help you come over and eat."
Qin Huairu took off her apron.
Lunch today is very simple, just steamed buns, porridge and some pickles.
no way!
Yi Zhonghai gave her a limited monthly living allowance, so she could only arrange such meals for her aunt.
The main reason is that the appetites of these three children are getting bigger and bigger...
It's just her and Auntie. Actually, we can add a green vegetable.
"I can't eat it."
The aunt was lying on the bed. Although she was alive, it seemed more like she was dead.
She now felt like there was an hourglass hanging over her head, and her life had entered the final countdown stage.
The scariest thing is that she still doesn't know how much time is left in the final countdown.
"How can you not eat it?"
"Come, let me feed you!"
Qin Huairu had never served others like this before, but now her aunt is her breadwinner.
If the eldest mother dies, her job may be ruined!
After Qin Huairu's dissuasion, the aunt finally started to eat.
After feeding the aunt, Qin Huairu walked to the dining table and looked at the dining table that had been almost made by three children.
"Alas~~!"
Even if she still has a job as a sweeper, she can't support these three children.
Picking up the last steamed bun, Qin Huairu started to devour it.
For her, life now is a life of today and no tomorrow.
