Novel Full Chapter 111 - The Little Fool
Chapter 111: The Little Fool
The mission card said that the children had to take their breakfast somewhere. Furthermore, they were not allowed to have their fathers accompany them.
Since Su Jiu was a short little girl, she walked very slowly. This made her the last to reach the point. The other children had long arrived, with Han Siye being the first.
When Han Siye had arrived and seen the breakfast on the dining table, he had instinctively wanted to grab some bread, milk, and eggs before heading home.
However, after glancing around, he had not spotted Su Jiu anywhere.
Does that little fool know that if she comes late, all this yummy food would be taken away by the others?
Hence, Han Siye decided to wait there.
Moreover, he had already snatched everything he wanted to eat, and he planned to share some with that ‘little fool.’
A while later, Xiao Wei had also arrived. When he saw that Su Jiu had yet to arrive, he did not return home after taking his breakfast. Similar to Han Siye, he waited for Su Jiu to come.
Han Siye shot a glance at him, then snorted and ignored him.
When Chen Xixi and Li Nuoer arrived, they saw Han Siye standing there like a little tyrant. He intimidated them a little, so they quickly snuck away after grabbing their breakfast.
After a long wait, the two boys finally saw Su Jiu coming toward them. Both of them gave her some bread and milk, but they did not see any hint of happiness on her face at all. Her eyes were red, and it looked like she was on the verge of tears.
Xiao Wei was a little puzzled. “What’s wrong, Little Jiu? Are you unhappy?”
Han Siye immediately clenched his fists and fiercely said, “Did someone bully you? I’ll beat him up for you!”
The little girl unhappily mumbled, “Daddy’s gone…”
“It’s okay. Your daddy might have gone on a mission, and he’ll be back soon. Have breakfast first.” Xiao Wei consoled her and passed her a piece of bread.
Su Jiu could tell that Xiao Wei had not eaten yet, so she did not accept the bread. Instead, she picked up a small basket on the table.
The basket held three buns. Su Jiu hugged the bamboo basket as if it were something precious. She said, “I’m going back to wait for Daddy. I’ll eat with him when he’s back.”
“Alright. I’ll send you back, Little Jiu.” Xiao Wei walked forward, held her hand, and took the bamboo basket from her. “I’ll hold this for you.”
“I’ll also send you back!” Han Siye quickly followed her and grabbed her other hand.

On the other side, with the dozens of dollars he had earned from his hard work resting in his pocket, Su Shengjing headed to the town outside the village. He roamed around for half an hour when he finally found a little cake shop. He hurriedly walked in.
When the owner saw a cameraman following Su Shengjing, she deduced that he was a guest on the show. Thus, she warmly greeted him. “Would you like to buy a cake?”
Su Shengjing nodded as he scanned the cakes in the display cabinet. “Which one is popular with kids?”
The owner pointed at some cakes and gave him a suggestion. “These cakes. Kids love strawberry cakes and chocolate cakes the most.”
After asking for the price, Su Shengjing decided to buy a strawberry cake. He asked, “Can you throw in some candles?”
“Sure.”
“Alright, then. Please give me four candles.”
Now that he had finally bought the cake, Su Shengjing suddenly felt like he was bursting with energy. He quickly rushed back to the village.
Su Jiu should be awake by now. Will she get scared if she doesn’t see me?
Feeling worried, he quickened his pace.
The cameraman recorded this entire scene. When it was broadcasted, the audience watched it with extreme seriousness.
After sending Su Jiu back to her house, Han Siye and Xiao Wei received a mission from the crew. Hence, they had no choice but to return to their houses.
Su Jiu carried a wooden bench to her house’s entrance and sat there alone while hugging her bamboo basket. She had yet to take even a single bite of the bun. She firmly insisted that she would only eat after her father returned.
By now, the audience had already become anxious. Is Su Shengjing a turtle?
Why hasn’t he returned yet?
