The clock’s hand quietly pointed to three in the afternoon.
Unknowingly, Huang Tao and his mom had been chatting for over an hour in the stone bench resting area.
Their topics naturally revolved around Huang Tao’s future relationships and matters like Xuanxuan, serving as a heartfelt conversation between mother and son!
So the chat was quite harmonious.
"Mom, it’s getting late, we need to take Xuanxuan back..."
Huang Tao, holding his phone, glanced at the ti and said with a smile, "I should also get back to the restaurant to prepare the ingredients for tonight’s dishes."
Song Cailian nodded: "Yeah, it’s about ti we return."
Huang Tao got up, ready to call Xuanxuan back.
At this mont, Granny Li also ca to find her granddaughter ng Zixiao to go ho, and upon seeing Huang Tao’s family, enthusiastically greeted them: "Boss Huang, Mr. Huang, Mrs. Huang, your family is all here!"
"Mm~"
Huang Tao replied with a smile: "My Xuanxuan is playing with your granddaughter!"
Both Song Cailian and Huang Yide gave her a cheerful nod in greeting.
"Really..."
Granny Li turned her head to look at ng Zixiao, who was riding a bicycle with Xuanxuan on the back, and couldn’t help but smile affectionately: "The two little ones are having so much fun! I was thinking of calling her ho, but it seems they’re not coming back anyti soon."
Such a dilemma!
Should we let them play a while longer?
Huang Tao smiled: "I was just about to call Xuanxuan back too!"
"That’s perfect..."
Huang Tao and Granny Li called Xuanxuan and ng Zixiao back together.
ng Zixiao was excited, with her cheeks rosy like a red apple, hugging Granny Li’s waist tightly: "Grandma, Xuanxuan just let ride her bike, it’s much easier to ride than mine, very light and pretty."
"Oh, Grandma saw it just now too."
Granny Li stretched out her wrinkled hand, gently stroked her granddaughter’s little head: "Did you thank Xuanxuan for it?"
ng Zixiao nodded vigorously: "I already thanked her."
Granny Li smiled affectionately: "Then let’s say goodbye to Xuanxuan and her uncle and grandparents, and play together next ti, okay?"
ng Zixiao waved reluctantly: "Goodbye Xuanxuan, goodbye uncle, goodbye grandpa and grandma!"
"Goodbye Granny Li, goodbye Xiaoxiao."
Xuanxuan waved her small hand in response to say goodbye to them.
As ng Zixiao left, she kept turning back to look at Xuanxuan.
Such a reluctant expression!
Xuanxuan smiled with crescent eyes, waving her hand to say bye-bye, watching the grandmother and granddaughter walk into the distance. Seeing the beads of sweat on Xuanxuan’s forehead, Huang Tao took out tissues from his pocket to gently wipe them off, affectionately scolding: "Look at you, all sweaty from playing, and you didn’t co over to let Daddy wipe it off for you."
"Hee hee~"
Xuanxuan looked up, smiling with eyes like crescent moons: "Daddy, but I didn’t notice I was sweating while playing..."
Alright!
This is a full credit excuse Huang Tao can accept.
"Oh, you~"
Huang Tao helplessly tapped Xuanxuan’s cute little nose: "Now, are you tired? If you’re tired, Daddy will carry you ho, and let Grandpa push the bicycle back to the restaurant!"
He was worried if Xuanxuan would be too tired to sleep soundly tonight if she played too hard.
Just now, she was busy sharing her bicycle with friends and hadn’t ridden it much herself.
She was thinking about riding it back to make up for not having enough riding ti.
Now hearing Daddy’s suggestion, she shook her little head like a rattle: "Daddy, I’m not tired, I want to ride back by myself."
"Alright then!"
Respecting her decision, Huang Tao nodded and reminded: "Be careful on the way."
"Mm-hmm~"
Xuanxuan nodded obediently: "Daddy, let’s go then."
"Grandpa and Grandma, let’s go..."
Lastly, she didn’t forget to shout to Song Cailian and Huang Yide not far away: "Grandpa and Grandma, let’s go, back to the restaurant..."
"Coming~"
Hearing this, Song Cailian and Huang Yide laughed and walked over to join Xuanxuan and her dad.
Xuanxuan skillfully sat on the bike seat, her left foot barely touching the ground, and her right foot swiftly pushing down on the pedal, her little bicycle rolled forward again.
Huang Tao and his parents, as they did on the way here, carefully accompanied Xuanxuan from behind while constantly paying attention to the surrounding vehicles and pedestrians to remind Xuanxuan in advance and to be prepared for any ergency situations.
At this mont, many neighbors carrying things began to erge from their hos, preparing to head over to the Delicious Restaurant to secure a favorable place in line for their al.
Ah!
Eating is not easy; cherish the journey!
Upon encountering Huang Tao’s family, the neighbors greeted them with smiles.
"Boss Huang, where have you all been? Are you heading back to the store now?"
"Boss Huang, will there be West Lake Vinegar Fish tomorrow? It’s been days since I’ve had it, and I’m craving it. The West Lake Vinegar Fish you make is really authentic and tastes amazingly delicious."
"Here, have so bananas!"
"Just now, I bought so yam cakes, Boss Huang, have so, these are good for the stomach and taste good too, go ahead, help yourself, try so."
"Xuanxuan! Here, Grandpa has a treat for you, dragon fruit, do you like it?"
"These strawberries just ca fresh from the farm. I was planning to drop so off at the restaurant later but since I ran into you, go ahead and take them, saves a trip."
Seeing the enthusiastic neighbors,
Song Cailian and Huang Yide couldn’t stop smiling.
Have to say,
their son’s popularity is simply amazing!
They’ve lived most of their lives, and their own popularity isn’t as good as their son’s!
Song Cailian sighed: "These neighbors are so enthusiastic."
Huang Yide said leisurely: "Of course, you should see who their son is."
Goodness!
Still finding ways to boost his own ego!
Of course.
Because of Huang Tao, the elderly couple received enthusiastic greetings from the neighbors, with several bottles of mineral water and handfuls of sunflower seeds and peanuts being placed into their hands.
They are quite sociable themselves and enjoy this warm atmosphere among neighbors.
On the way, they cracked sunflower seeds and chat with these neighborhood friends.
Back at the store.
Xuanxuan couldn’t wait to announce: "I’m back!"
Ding Suqin and others peeked out from the kitchen, and greeted her laughingly: "Oh, our little darling Xuanxuan is back."
"Mm-hmm~"
Xuanxuan parked her bicycle in the corner and took off her helt and protective gear.
"So hot, so hot..."
Xuanxuan complained, wanting to take off her down jacket, and even her wool sweater underneath.
Oh dear!
Huang Tao quickly stepped forward to stop her from doing sothing that might catch her a cold: "Don’t take it all off, be careful not to catch a cold. If you’re hot, Daddy will wipe your sweat and get you a drink."
"Daddy, I feel water doesn’t quench my thirst!"
"Then what do you think quenches your thirst?"
"Cold things quench thirst."
Goodness!
Seems like she’s craving for mung bean milkshake again...
