Chapter 349: Strolling in the Supermarket
"You dare?" Cynthia stared at Ash with her beautiful eyes.
"Uh! Forget it, I can't be bothered to argue with you. Anyway, I won't welsh on the debt," Ash shrugged and said.
"Good that you know!" Cynthia nodded with satisfaction.
"Ash, May! What are you two whispering about here?" Cynthia suddenly saw May whispering to Ash.
"Uh! Nothing!" Ash shook his head and said.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Ash and Cynthia were strolling through the supermarket. Ash watched Cynthia picking out snacks. Although Cynthia didn't usually eat snacks, Ash knew her tastes because Cynthia ate the meals Ash cooked every day, so Ash knew exactly what she liked. Thus, Ash began to pick out things that Cynthia liked.
"How about this bag of potato chips? These are edible! Should I try them?" Ash asked, pointing to the potato chips on the shelf.
"You try them!" Cynthia said helplessly.
Ash opened the plastic bag, took out a few chips, and handed them to Cynthia.
"Hmm? Ash, which brand are these potato chips?" Cynthia asked, puzzled.
"Uh!" Hearing Cynthia’s question, Ash froze because he had forgotten which brand of chips he had bought.
"I... I forgot!" Ash stammered.
"Pfft~~"
Hearing Ash’s answer, Cynthia couldn't help but laugh.
"Ash! You’re too funny! You even got the wrong thing when buying stuff," Cynthia said with a giggle.
"Ahem, I was just trying to please you!" Ash touched his nose, feeling shy.
"I like them very much, thank you!" Cynthia said to Ash with a smile.
"Uh! It’s only right, no need to thank me!" Ash waved his hand and said.
"Let’s go! Weren't we going to buy groceries to take home?" Ash reminded her.
"Oh, right! Almost forgot, let’s hurry over there!" Cynthia patted her head and said.
Afterward, Ash and Cynthia pushed the cart toward the living area.
At this time, May also walked up. Seeing Ash and Cynthia pushing the shopping cart, she immediately joined them.
"Brother-in-law, Brother Ash, I want to buy some vegetables too," May said expectantly.
"Alright, I’ll pick some out for you too." Cynthia said, taking three green onions from the cart and handing them to May. "Here, these are for you."
"Wow! So pretty! Thank you, brother-in-law!" May said happily, taking the vegetables.
"Brother Ash, get me five!" May said, grabbing a few green peppers and stuffing them into the cart, then looking at Cynthia.
"Ahem!" Ash nodded helplessly. "Boss! Please give me a basket!" Ash said to the vegetable vendor.

"Mm! Sure thing!" the boss said heartily.
"Ash, you don't need to buy a basket, just put them in a bag," the boss said.
"Okay!"
Afterward, the boss handed Ash a bag filled with various vegetables.
After taking the bag, Ash discovered that it was filled with meat—chicken, duck, fish—and some other vegetables.
"You guys are back so soon! May, put this meat in the refrigerator freezer; your mom will be back to cook tonight," their father said as he saw the two of them return.
"Dad, where’s Mom?" Ash asked.
"Your mom went to the hospital, and your brother is still sleeping," their father explained.
"Alright!" Ash said after hearing this. CHAPTER 748
"Right, Ash, what did you say you wanted to buy earlier?" their father suddenly remembered Ash saying he wanted to buy something.
"Oh, I wanted to buy some milk and some fruit," Ash said.
"Oh! I know where they sell that, follow me." Their father said, leading Ash to a shop that specialized in fresh-squeezed fruit juice.
"These are fresh oranges and apples," their father said.
"How much for this?" Ash asked the boss, pointing to an apple.
"50 yuan," the boss said.
"Alright! Help me weigh 5 jin, thank you!" Ash took out 50 yuan and handed it to the boss.
"Sure thing! Just a moment!" The boss took the money and left happily.
"Huh? Boss, I want all of these!" Just then, May suddenly rushed out and said to the boss.
"What? You want to buy so much?" The boss was startled.
"It’s okay! As long as you help me deliver it to my brother’s room, I’ll pay you 20 yuan for your trouble," May said sweetly.
"That’s fine, but are you sure you really want to buy this much? Won't you find it heavy?" The boss asked, looking at May.
"I won't! Thank you, boss," May said with a smile.
"Alright! Here you go!" The boss said, weighing several more jin of apples.
May took the bag, smiled at the boss, and ran toward the direction of Ash and the others.
"Ash, let’s continue!" Cynthia said.
"Mm!" Ash replied, then pushed the shopping cart, walking slowly with Cynthia.
"Brother Ash, why aren't you pushing?" May asked, puzzled, seeing Ash not pushing the cart.
"Uh! This cart is too heavy, I can't push it," Ash said, scratching his head awkwardly.
"Is that so! Then I’ll help you push it," May said, looking at Ash.
"Okay!" Ash said.
"Heehee~~" May immediately took over the cart and helped Ash push it forward.
"Huh? Brother Ash! Who is that girl? She’s quite pretty!" May said, surprised.
"Uh, you mean Xi Yao, right?" Ash said awkwardly.
Afterward, Ash brought Cynthia and May to Misty’s house.
Ash rang the doorbell.
Not long after, Misty opened the door. CHAPTER 749
"Misty, you’re back!" Ash said with a smile. 0
"Ash! Sister, you’re here too! Come on in and sit down!" Misty greeted Ash and Cynthia.
"Ash, Sister Cynthia, you guys chat first, I’m going to cook. How about braised pork ribs for lunch today? I specifically asked our neighbor, the auntie, and she said braised pork ribs are delicious!" Misty said.
"Mm!" Cynthia smiled.
"Okay! Brother Ash, you guys chat first!" May said, skipping back to the kitchen.
"Brother Ash, why aren't you wearing slippers?" Misty said hurriedly, seeing Ash’s bare feet.
"It’s okay!" Ash said.
"Ash, you rest for a while, I’m going to wash my face," Cynthia said to Ash.
"Mm! Go ahead!" Ash said.
"Brother Ash, you sit in the living room and play for a while! I’m going to wash my face," May also said.
"Alright!" Ash nodded.
"May, is Ash your classmate?" Cynthia whispered to May when they reached the bathroom.
"Yeah! Ash and I were junior high classmates!" May said with a giggle. CHAPTER 750
