Chapter 1824: How do you plan to thank me?

~4 min read 759 words

Just as she chased them to the school gate, she saw them board a jeep not far away.

Just as she wanted to quicken her pace, the vehicle had already sped off, leaving a trail of dust.

She was so angry that her hands curled into fists; she didn't even feel the pain as her fingernails dug into her palms. She truly couldn't understand why this Xiao Chuxue was so difficult to deal with.

Chuxue looked at Kong Yizhang, who was driving: "Brother Kong, why did you come over?"

Kong Yizhang laughed: "Your Fu Yancheng called me this morning, asking me to come over for lunch. I had just arrived when he assigned me a task."

Chuxue laughed: "Just you? Did Sister-in-law come along?"

Kong Yizhang glanced at the rearview mirror, his words taking a sharp turn: "That girl in the back seat is your classmate, right? Her gaze is a bit too chilling, isn't it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the three people in the car looked back in unison.

Zhang Yanyan and Hao Jingchun only managed to see who was standing there: "It's Jiang Wenxing. Why is she standing there?"

Chuxue was different; she clearly saw the unwillingness in Jiang Wenxing's eyes.

Kong Yizhang glanced at Chuxue, who was sitting in the back: "What, had a falling out?"

Chuxue waved her hand: "No, I'm not familiar with her at all."

Hearing this, Zhang Yanyan chimed in: "We really aren't close to her. That person is like a white lotus; she beats around the bush for everything she says. We aren't the same kind of people."

The car drove for a while and happened to pass by a state-run grocery store. Zhang Yanyan quickly shouted for them to stop: "Please stop the car ahead. We need to take care of something and will be right back."

Upon hearing this, Chuxue knew what she was going to do: "Brother Kong, don't listen to her. We have everything we need at home; don't go to any unnecessary expense."

Hao Jingchun immediately replied: "Just because you don't need anything doesn't mean we don't. It wouldn't be right to show up for a meal empty-handed. If you stop us, then I think we might as well not go."

Under their strong insistence, Kong Yizhang still parked the car by the side of the road.

The two were quite quick. At this time of day, they couldn't hope for meat, especially since they didn't have meat coupons. Seeing there were eggs, they bought a jin, and since Zhang Yanyan had a jin of sugar coupons, they bought a jin of White Rabbit creamy candies. This gift was already quite generous for the current times.

It didn't take long for the two to come back out.

Since the items were already bought, it would be pretentious for Chuxue to say anything more.

It wasn't very far, so they arrived home quickly.

As soon as they got out of the car, the three little ones ran out to greet them: "Mommy."

Zhang Yanyan and Hao Jingchun stepped out: "Oh my, three little darlings, don't just think about your mommy, look at us too."

Lebao tilted her head: "The aunties who give yummy food?"

Hearing her say this, Zhang Yanyan burst into laughter: "Right, you still remember me."

Zhang Yanyan picked up the little one, and Hao Jingchun picked up Kangbao, who had rushed out behind her: "Oh my, you've gotten quite heavy. Looks like you've put on some meat."

Chuxue picked up Fubao, who had rushed to the front: "Son, where's your dad?"

The little one pointed toward the courtyard: "Grilling meat."

Following the direction of his finger, she saw a barbecue grill set up there. Chuxue felt a warmth in her heart; she had casually mentioned wanting to eat barbecue the other day.

He had asked about it in passing, and she hadn't expected him to put it on the agenda so quickly today.

Fu Yancheng happened to come out of the kitchen and smiled at Chuxue: "Wife, you're back?"

Chuxue gave a soft "Mm."

She walked a few steps closer and whispered: "I didn't expect you to remember. Good job, thanks."

Fu Yancheng leaned his head forward and said in a voice only the two of them could hear: "How do you plan to thank me?"

Chuxue didn't expect him to be so bold, so she used her finger to push his face away: "Focus on your work; don't get carried away just because I praised you." ===== CHAPTER 1830 =====
