Chapter 124 Have you become deaf?
After enjoying delicious food such as potstickers, sea cucumber rice, and spicy stir-fried clams, the group relaxed as they all began to criticize director Jiang Yun. Even Xu Tinglan didn't hold back in complaining about the terrible plan Jiang Yun had devised.
"Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have known that this place had so many delicious foods!"
Su Shao wasn't much of a cook and had been eating fast food for several meals. Now, tasting the local delicacies, he was surprised to find that this place actually had good food.
Xu Tinglan: "If we hadn't performed exceptionally well this time and made some money, we would have missed out! Aren't you ashamed, Jiang Yun~"
An'an and the others were eating heartily, even Yangyang was afraid that An'an would have to feed him again, so he held his own bowl and shoveled rice into his mouth little by little.
Jiang Yun agreed to help them find a car to the high-speed rail station, thus escaping the barrage of criticism.
Seeing that they still had plenty of time, the group decided to give each family 40 yuan of the remaining money, and then each spend half an hour wandering around the neighborhood before meeting up at 12:30 to head to the high-speed rail station.
"Daddy~, I want to bring gifts for Great-Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt, Four-Eyes, and Brother~"
"And there are gluttons, greedy devils, um... and Brother Yu'an, Uncle Zhao..."
Lu Junxing glanced at the 40 yuan clutched tightly in the troublemaker's hand, then at the prices of the handicrafts in the boutique—even adding another zero wouldn't be enough.
We quickly took An'an to the small supermarket. An'an looked at the familiar supermarket in the distance, but stubbornly refused to go in.
"Waaah~, he'll cheat me out of my money~"
An'an, thinking that she had only one purse of money and had only bought one bag of candy, clutched the four coins in her hand tightly and refused to go inside: "I don't want to go in~"
"Hurry! Daddy, we have to go! We're going to run out of money!"
Seeing the shop owner come out to investigate after hearing the commotion, Lu Junxing no longer hesitated, touched his nose, and took An'an to another shop.
Since he didn't have enough money in his pocket, he picked out a small bag of Alpenliebe candies for her, enough for one small piece each, and popped one into her mouth.
"Gluttons and greedy devils shouldn't eat human food. Don't feed them random things, or they'll die from the medicine. Don't cry then!"
With a candy in her mouth, An'an nodded readily and, seeing the man's empty hands, generously handed him a coin: "Daddy~, here's another coin, you can buy it!"
Looking at the coin, the man, adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, went inside and grabbed a bottle of mineral water.
Half of the bottle ended up in An'an's stomach, with the main message: "I gave you the money, so I want to try it too!"
After Shen Yu distributed the plums they had bought to everyone, An An also shared the candy she had in her pocket. Finally, Ji Jianshu, who had bought a Rubik's Cube, and Duo Duo, who had bought a fan, felt a little embarrassed and distributed the gifts they had prepared to everyone.
Seeing this, Su Shao also asked Yangyang to distribute the toys they had prepared to everyone.
An'an looked at the book her older brother Xiao Shu stuffed into her arms, and like Duo Duo, the two of them were afraid that looking at it for too long would make them brain-damaged, so they quickly handed it to their parents.
The other gifts were mostly dolls and Barbie sets that girls like. Lu Junxing and the others admired them for a short while before putting them away.
Since they didn't have the cardboard boxes they used to pack the items, they unpacked the original packaging and got a bag from Xu Tinglan before finally packing everything back together.
"No way? We're going to take this car?"
Ni Hao pointed to the dilapidated Toyota van in front of her, somewhat incredulous: "Weren't we supposed to take a taxi?"
Jiang Yun: "You only gave us a few hundred yuan. With so many of you, we need three cars. Besides, we have to take the highway to get to the high-speed rail station. The drivers here are unwilling to pay more!"
"I've already paid for this myself. I rented a car from a travel agency. They're going to pick someone up from the high-speed rail station soon, so don't dawdle, get in the car quickly and don't delay them!"
Su Shao frowned, looking at the simple seats inside. Since becoming famous, he had been riding in chauffeured cars and hadn't ridden in a car like this in a long time.
But seeing that Lu Junxing and Xu Tinglan had already taken their children upstairs, he didn't linger and got into the car with Yangyang in his arms.
Ni Hao reluctantly boarded the bus last, grumbling a few words to Xu Tinglan, only to be glared at by Ji Jianshu. The journey wasn't long; it was time to get off.
An'an and Yangyang were both asleep. Shen Shaocheng was about to help them with their luggage when Lu Junxing woke them up without any hesitation.
An'an landed groggily and immediately grabbed his suitcase and followed along. Su Shao, carrying Yangyang, awkwardly watched Shen Yu and Ji Jianshu helping him push the suitcase, but thinking of Yangyang's morning grumpiness...
In the end, they compromised, and the group helped each other go through the ticket check. They were one step closer to going home. After waiting for more than five hours, An'an was so bored that she started counting the men's hairs.
They finally arrived. After everyone parted ways, An'an excitedly rushed towards her grandfather who had come to pick her up. Lu Jing immediately hugged his granddaughter affectionately.
Lu Junxing, carrying the luggage behind, almost missed the train. He sat in his seat, staring intently at the grandfather and grandson. Lu Jing, however, seemed oblivious to the situation and instead complained the whole way.
"You're such a grown-up, don't you know how to be quick when you go out? Are you waiting for the car or the car waiting for you?"
"This child isn't being held properly. There are so many people coming and going at this exit. What if a child trafficker snatches the child away?"
"You're such a grown man, have you been eating all these years of food that's gone to waste? Can't you even figure this out?"
"And also, did you... give my precious grandson his head?"
Lu Junxing held his tablet, scrolling through work emails, automatically ignoring the muttering voice beside him. The troublesome person even grinned and leaned over to look at his ear.
"Dad? Can't you hear anymore? Have you gone deaf?"
"Are you telling me I'm talking nonsense? You think you're all grown up now? No wonder you've been silent for so long!"
"Where did the long snout end up in the pigsty?"
Lu Junxing sighed and snatched the candy from the troublesome person next to him.
"Waaah~, waaaah~, my candy?"
Hearing the crying from behind, Lu Jing scolded Lu Junxing again, sent him off to drive, and sat in the back to comfort the child.
Lu Junxing glanced at the rearview mirror, staring at Lu Jing frantically trying to soothe the child. A slight smile played on his lips. Compared to Lu Jing's irritable voice, he still preferred the child's crying.
