Chapter 176 – Dinner (“You mean the mean-looking uncle who’s a hero?”) (2)

The weather report said there would be rain tonight. Shu Yan closed the windows, checked around the house, before she turned the lights off and left. She ran into Zhang-jie in the elevator. Shu Yan had been here quite a few times but had never run into her before.

“You’ve moved in already, Zhang-jie?” Shu Yan could see that she was carrying a lot of used daily necessities with her.

“Guess what? I have relatives who came to visit. There is just not enough room in the house so I have my husband stay over at the new place for a night with the child.” Talking about her relatives, Zhang-jie pursed her lips. “They are very distant relatives, but would always come and stay over at my place whenever they visit City Nan. She gets to save room and board but it is such a hassle for my family.”

People tend to be frugal during this time and would usually stay over at their relatives in anyone was there locally. Shu Yan was sure that many people, however, would bring gifts when they do. They’d never go empty-handed. That being said, from Zhang-jie’s perspective, when relatives from her home town come to visit, she would at least need to cook a few extra dishes and set up the bed. Her place wasn’t big to begin with, so it made sense that she would grumble.

But that was not her place to comment on it. Shu Yan only give her an awkward smile and said, “Your remodeling is already done?”

If she remembered it correctly, the two of them bought their houses around the same time. Did she have the job rushed also?

“Yeah, it doesn’t take that long to remodel. Just to hook up the water and electricity and have the wall painted, right?” Speaking of, Zhang-jie asked Shu Yan, “I saw that you have remodeling, big screen colored television, refrigerator, and air-conditioning. You must have spent a lot.”

“It was alright.” Shu Yan didn’t like others prying about that. “The elevator is here. I need to go pick up my kids. We will talk later.”

“Okay, you go get busy.” After the elevator doors had closed, Zhang-jie couldn’t help but grumbled, “So many electronic appliances. Those must have cost her at least $20,000. Tsk tsk. She’s so rich.”

After picking up Tianbao, Shu Yan turned around and took a look. She did not see Feng Zeyu but she was sure that he was nearby.

“Mom, what are you looking at?”

“Nothing, let’s go. Let’s go pick up your sister.” Shu Yan paid close attention the entire time and finally spotted Feng Zeyu when they arrived at the market. Shu Yan stopped. “JingJing, do you see that uncle over there?”

“The uncle who looks mean but was a hero?” JingJing has very good memory plus Feng Zeyu’s face was also very memorable.

Shu Yan smiled. “That’s the one. You go tell him to go pick up an item in the flower bed outside of our district in a little bit.”

JingJing gave Shu Yan a look before she pitter pattered over without asking her anything.

“Uncle.”

This was the first time Feng Zeyu interacted with a girl her age. He felt a bit awkward. “Hi.”

“My mom asked you to pick up something in the flower bed outside of our district in a little bit.” Having said that, she ran back over to where Shu Yan was.

She made braised pork, cola chicken wings, celery and squid, and a tofu dish. After she was done, Shu Yan started placing some of them inside a lunchbox. After she was done boxing the food, she had the children started eating before she walked over to the flower bed outside of her district with the lunchbox in hand. There weren’t a lot of people there. She placed the lunchbox inside of the grass and looked around. She didn’t see Feng Zeyu anywhere. Did he not come?

Then she spotted Feng Zeyu strolled out casually. He didn’t walk over to her as though he was merely letting her know that he was there.

After Shu Yan had left, Feng Zeyu casually pulled out what Shu Yan had left inside of the flower bed. It was warm food and rice along with a bag of rinsed fruits. His hand that was hold onto the bag tightened a little and a warm sensation washed over him.
