Before even picking up her chopsticks, she spotted the big drumstick on the plate. As soon as she picked up the chopsticks, the first thing she did was to pick up the drumstick and put it into Chu Hengyuan's bowl.
Chu Hengyuan was taken aback, feeling flattered. When he saw the little girl reaching for the drumstick, he thought she wanted to eat it. He never expected that she would give it to him first.
Rong Lan said seriously, "If there's a whole chicken in the future, I'll definitely share the drumstick with you!"
She didn't want Chu Hengyuan to think that she didn't treat him well.
Chu Hengyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Looking at his little wife's serious expression, he finally didn't say, 'He didn't have any particular attachment to drumsticks. She could eat it.' Instead, he thanked her.
"By the way, how about asking for a day off the day after tomorrow, Lanlan? We need to go back to the Bai family the day after tomorrow." Returning to the bride's family three days after the wedding was something his bunch of good-for-nothing friends specifically reminded him of. Even if no one had reminded him, he would have remembered such an important event.
"No problem!" Rong Lan naturally knew about this custom.
Si Mo was much more reliable than she had imagined. She thought it would be perfectly fine to leave Si Mo in the shop for a whole day.
"Did you meet any interesting customers today, Lanlan?" Chu Hengyuan said as he picked up a vegetable roll for the little girl who was constantly reaching for chicken.
Rong Lan moved the vegetable roll to the very edge of her bowl and pretended not to see it. "I did meet a customer, but she can't be described as interesting. I learned a very important lesson from her."
"Hmm? What lesson?" Chu Hengyuan was curious.
"Don't have children before you learn how to be a qualified parent. It's harmful not only to the parents but also to the children." In the afternoon, there were no customers in the fortune - telling shop. This was the lesson she had learned while practicing and thinking.
Chu Hengyuan picked up another vegetable roll for his little wife. "In Lanlan's opinion, what kind of parents are qualified parents?"
Rong Lan thought for a moment. "If you only have one child, you should love, protect, and respect him. If you have two or more children, you should love them equally. There should be no favoritism towards the younger or the older, the male or the female. A qualified parent should never treat their children with bias."
"Very well said." Chu Hengyuan smiled. "But in real life, it's very difficult to achieve absolute fairness. Sometimes, parents are completely unaware of their bias. They may think it's an insignificant little thing, but in the hearts of sensitive children, that thing will stay with them for a very long time."
"I know. So parents should try their best to do so. If there is really a small mistake of bias, it can be remedied afterwards, like apologizing to the child." As Rong Lan was speaking, she lowered her head and saw that there was already a layer of vegetable rolls in her bowl, covering even the rice. Her voice trailed off, and all the words she had planned to say flew out of her head. "Can I not eat so many vegetable rolls?"
The topic changed so abruptly that Chu Hengyuan, who was still thinking about what his little wife had just said, almost couldn't keep up with the new topic. He was stunned for a moment before he reacted and slowly shook his head with a smile. "No. I put chicken puree in the vegetable rolls. Try one, Lanlan. If you don't like it, you can eat less."
There was chicken puree in the vegetable rolls? Rong Lan picked up a vegetable roll and took a bite. After chewing a few times, she didn't really taste the chicken, but it did have the flavor of chicken. So she wasn't as resistant and obediently chewed the vegetables.
"Brother, in a few days, I'll take you to teach a freshman in high school a lesson!" Her tone was extremely excited.
Chu Hengyuan had a question mark on his face. "What happened?"
At first, they were talking about the education of parents and children. Then it suddenly switched to vegetable rolls, and now it had turned to a strange direction. He even suspected that he was getting old and couldn't keep up with the little girl's rhythm.
"I take money to solve problems for others. A beautiful young lady paid me 200,000 yuan to beat up her younger brother for her." Rong Lan said, secretly picking up a vegetable roll from her bowl and putting it into Chu Hengyuan's bowl.
Chu Hengyuan pretended not to see the little girl's sneaky move. What he most wanted to do now was to take out his phone and check the chat records in the group.
At the beginning of the conversation, Xie Xinxin said she was going to calculate her marriage fortune to see when her invisible Mr. Right would appear. Now it seemed that Xie Xinxin didn't talk about her Mr. Right in the little girl's shop but about family conflicts?
But when Xie Xinxin said the conversation was over, those good - for - nothing friends in the group started to make a fuss and bet on how many years Rong Lan would say it would take for Xie Xinxin's Mr. Right to appear. They even opened a vote and placed bets. As the only person in the group who knew the answer, Xie Xinxin followed their lead. All the money from everyone was transferred to her.
Fortunately, out of caution, he had only bet 100 yuan.
As for those poor guys in the group who had transferred 10,000 yuan to Xie Xinxin...
After thinking about it, it was better not to tell them the truth. Otherwise, they would start a voice chat and fight until dawn.
"Sure. I'll go with you then." Suppressing all his doubts, Chu Hengyuan lowered his head and saw three vegetable rolls in his bowl.
He paused, looked at the little girl's bowl full of chicken, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In the end, he didn't dwell on her picky eating. "Are you just going to beat up her younger brother? Just getting beaten once may not teach him a lesson."
Seeing that Chu Hengyuan didn't care about the vegetable rolls, Rong Lan let out a sigh of relief. "If he can't learn his lesson, so be it. Beating up the beautiful young lady's younger brother is just to make her happy. As for how to keep the beautiful young lady happy, it's still a secret for now. I'll tell you when I achieve it."
The confident look on the little girl's face made Chu Hengyuan can't help but laugh. "Since it's a secret, I won't ask anymore. I'll wait for Lanlan to achieve it and then share it with me."
"Okay!" The little fox replied.
"Speaking of which, Lanlan, you can give me the address of her younger brother. I'll go and check the place out in advance. After all, you have to go to work every day, and I'm just bored at home anyway." Chu Hengyuan said.
He had known Xie Xinxin for many years and knew where the troublesome young master of the Xie family lived and went to school. But he still had to play the whole act. As a house - husband who didn't go out very often, of course he should act like he didn't know these things.
Rong Lan hesitated for a moment. Thinking of the time when Chu Hengyuan had plotted against Bai Rongran and Chu Chuan, she knew that he had the ability to act, but just lacked financial resources. She put down her chopsticks, reached into her pocket, and took out a neatly folded piece of paper. "Here. I'll count on you then!"
