"These grapes are really expensive." Gu Wancheng felt a pang of pain when she thought about the money she had just spent.
Two bunches of grapes cost almost fifty yuan, that's outrageous.
"Let me try it. What makes it worth fourteen yuan and eighty cents?" Jian Yue tore off a piece, popped it into her mouth, tasted it carefully, and said, "It's so-so."
They wouldn't have cared about this before, but the situation is different now. They have no money, and after spending so much all at once, they suddenly feel breathless.
But the kids were looking at them so expectantly, so I gritted my teeth and bought it. The main problem was that I forgot to ask the price; it had already been weighed, and I felt bad about not wanting it.
"Let's go buy groceries, then we'll head back," Bo Yizhou said.
The others nodded.
If I keep walking around this street, I won't have any money left to buy groceries.
Looking at the happy kids, I sighed.
The vegetables were bought from the supermarket, mainly because the vegetables in the market weren't very fresh at this time of year.
After buying groceries and returning home, the kids happily ran off to wash the grapes, carrying bags of them. Xiaolin went to the kitchen and got a double-layered colander to put the grapes in.
The group spent over ten minutes washing those two bunches of grapes, making sure every single grape was thoroughly cleaned and none were missed.
After washing it, Chaochao brought it to the living room. "Dad, have some grapes." He said, stuffing two grapes into his and Bo Yizhou's hands.
Gu Wancheng looked at the two lonely grapes in her hand and downed them in one gulp.
Bo Yizhou ate one; it was too sweet. He handed the remaining one to Gu Wancheng, who took it and ate it immediately.
" Xiaolin, you can eat it yourself. Dad won't eat any more." Zhao Chengyu tasted one piece, but then stopped.
Xiaolin smiled and quickly stuffed the grape in her hand into Zhao Chengyu's mouth. Zhao Chengyu ate it with a helpless expression.
"Mom, you eat too."
Thank you, baby.
The group only ate a few as a token gesture, and the rest were for the kids. They only bought two skewers, which wasn't much.
Chaochao nestled in Gu Wancheng's arms, while Gu Wancheng leaned against Bo Yizhou, her eyes glued to the television.
To be fair, the character in this story is somewhat ill.
"No, they must have exchanged at least dozens of words while jumping off the cliff. Was the cliff that high?"
"Why haven't they made a move yet? Don't they know villains die from talking too much? Oh, they're the main characters."
Xu Xiashi's lips twitched. What could she say? That it was produced by her company? She couldn't bring herself to say it. She should have known better than to let him make the decision. If it weren't for the large fan base of the lead actors, this drama wouldn't have made any money; it would have been good enough if it hadn't lost money.
Wen Qifeng gently patted her hand.
Zhao Chengyu tried his best to suppress his laughter. He knew about this drama; it was directed by Xu Xiashi's younger brother.
[Hmm... Why does Brother Zhao's expression look so distorted? Is this show really that funny?]
[I have a feeling there's something we don't know.]
[They're definitely hiding something from us! It must be related to this show!]
[... I discovered a blind spot...]
What is it?
[??]
[Where are they? What did they find? Tell me! What kind of skill is it to just disappear!]
[Ahhh! I admit I've been hooked! Tell me right now, or I'll kill you!]
However, the person disappeared after saying those words, and no matter how many comments bombarded the screen, they didn't utter a single word.
Anna gave him a strange look, not understanding what he was secretly laughing about.
Although this show is a bit abstract, to be fair, it's still passable; at least it's funny enough.
After watching about two episodes, Gu Wancheng glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already five o'clock; she could start cooking.
"Everyone, let's get to work!" Gu Wancheng put Chaochao aside, stood up, and stretched.
"It's already five o'clock, that's fast."
"Cook, cook, eat your fill, and then sleep."
"I bet you're just lying around playing on your phone after you've eaten your fill."
"It's tough being alive, okay?"
Hot pot is easy to prepare. Just stir-fry the hot pot base, add water, and once it boils, add the vegetables.
The hot pot base I bought is tomato flavored; if you want it spicy, you can make a spicy dipping sauce.
After dinner, it was already seven o'clock. Chaochao was full of energy and secretly made a phone call in a corner of the room.
Because they came on too early, before the broadcast ended, a camera was placed in the room, its lens encompassing almost half the room. However, none of the people the viewers wanted to see were in the shot.
[???]
[no?]
Where are they?!
[What, you want us to see the room layout?]
Suddenly, Chaochao's voice came from the phone. The viewers stopped sending comments and carefully listened to what he was saying.
"... Okay... back..."
"Um..."
[ Chaochao Chao, you used to be a little angel in your aunt's eyes, but now you can only be a little devil. (smiling emoji)]
Did anyone hear me clearly?
[Does Chaochao dare to speak in front of the camera?!]
Where are Chengcheng and President Bo?
[Who knows. Smiling face. jpg]
"Aren't you going to work?" Gu Wancheng nudged the person next to her.
Bo Yizhou grasped his fingers and said calmly, "Turn it off in a bit."
Gu Wancheng smiled, got up and walked over, smiled at the camera, her bright smile blooming, her peach blossom eyes looking affectionately at the camera, and waved at the same time.
Just as the audience was completely mesmerized, Gu Wancheng pressed the button without hesitation.
The next second, all the audience members' phones went black.
[May I ask you a question?]
[It's not time to end the broadcast yet!]
[Giving you a sweet treat, then delivering a blow to the head, huh!]
[Ahhh! Director Chen, look at him!]
Chen Liqing: I can't see it, I can't see it, anyway, it's almost time to end the broadcast. ¯(°_o)/¯
As soon as Gu Wancheng stood up, someone pressed against her from behind.
"Turn it off?" Bo Yizhou hugged him from behind, rested his chin on his shoulder, and said softly.
Gu Wancheng hummed in agreement and pushed him away. The next moment, she was met with his pitiful gaze, which made her lips twitch. She turned her head slightly to avoid eye contact.
Bo Yizhou grabbed his hand and tried to press it against him. Gu Wancheng half-heartedly resisted, and then accidentally met Chaochao's bright, sparkling eyes as she peeked out from the corner.
Gu Wancheng: "..."
She glared at the shameless person, then turned and went into the bathroom.
Chaochao tilted her head, her eyes clear and bright.
"Father, Suisui said he'll come pick me up when I get home," Chaochao said, her heart beaming with joy.
Bo Yizhou gave a faint "hmm," which was almost unheard by Chaochao if she hadn't had such sharp hearing.
Strange, my father seems a little unhappy.
Not wanting to talk to her father who couldn't utter a word, Chaochao turned and ran to knock on the bathroom door, "Dad, Suisui said she's coming to pick me up and take me home."
Gu Wancheng: ଳ ̊ᵎᵎᵎᵎ
What the heck? You've really taken a liking to Suisui?
Although surprised, Gu Wancheng gave him full emotional value, " Chaochao, you're amazing! Suisui must really like you, otherwise why would he only come to pick you up instead of other kids? You two must be the best of friends."
It mainly consists of rambling nonsense.
Chaochao was overjoyed by his words and completely lost her sense of direction.
My mind is filled with thoughts of them being my best friends.
