When they reached the entrance of the district, Jun Shiyan and Ling Sheng got out of the car and prepared to walk home.
“Madam Jun, I want to buy that.” Jun Shiyan pointed at the candied hawthorn at the entrance of the district and smiled at the young lady beside him.
Ling Sheng suddenly thought of the time when she had returned to the past. He had been unwilling to buy her anything she wanted to eat so she took revenge on him out of spite. She spoke with a solemn face, “Your stomach is weak, so you can’t eat it. I’m going home. You should go home and sleep too!”
“Honey, give me 10 yuan. I want to buy two sticks of candied hawthorn.” Jun Shiyan was already in front of her. He turned his head and shouted at her, “Honey, what flavor do you want to eat? Do you want a stick of strawberries? Or yam beans?”
“I’m not eating.” Ling Sheng hadn’t expected him to use the same tactic she had. Upon seeing the man’s smiling handsome face, she suddenly felt like she had been tricked.
“Boss, I’ll take a stick of strawberries, two sticks of candied hawthorns, and another two sticks of yam beans.” As Jun Shiyan picked them, he even muttered to himself, “My wife likes to eat sweet and sour candied hawthorns and yam beans. My son likes strawberries.”
The boss smiled and asked quietly why he had not brought any money with him. Had he given it all to his wife?
Jun Shiyan nodded and smiled. “I’ve already handed in my wage card. It’s coming to the end of the month, right? My wife hasn’t given me my allowance for next month!”
Ling Sheng, who was waiting nearby, could clearly hear the man’s answer, with a smile in his voice. She secretly touched the bank card in her pocket and took out her phone to download a client1 to see exactly how much money was in the card.
The boss was also a chatty person, so he nodded in empathy. He shared his experience of hiding a secret stash of money with Jun Shiyan.
He had always been selling candied hawthorns at the entrance of this district, but he had never seen this handsome man in front of him. He was even more good-looking than the celebrities in this district, so he asked if the two of them had moved in recently.
“No, my father-in-law lives here.” Jun Shiyan was like an ordinary person. While waiting, he chatted with him. “Grandpa and Grandma miss her so I brought her over.”
“You two must have just gotten married. I basically know everyone in the district. They always buy from me. Some of them have been eating my snacks for more than 10 years.” The boss just didn’t recognize him; he found him unfamiliar, so he asked, “Who’s your father-in-law? I might know him too.”
Jun Shiyan smiled. “You definitely know him. My father-in-law is a celebrity.”
“Now that you mention it, I’m even more curious. However, there are many celebrities in our district too. You know Best Actor Huo Ci, right? He lives in this district. His daughter also lives here. He often brings his young grandson over to my place to buy candied hawthorn. He buys a few sticks at a go to give to his mother and his daughter. Brother Ci is really a good person.” When the boss mentioned Huo Ci, he could not help but give him a thumbs-up.
Jun Shiyan said, “What a coincidence. Huo Ci is my father-in-law.”
The boss’ eyes widened. “Huo Ci is your father-in-law?”
Jun Shiyan waved at the young lady. “Yes, this is my wife.”
The boss looked over. The lady was wearing a mask and sunglasses, and she was standing under a street lamp not far away. She truly was Best Actor Huo’s daughter, Ling Sheng. He was so shocked that his jaw dropped. “Are you really Best Actor Huo’s son-in-law?”
Jun Shiyan said, “In the flesh.”
The syrup was simmering in the pot. All the candied hawthorns were freshly dipped, so they were crispy, sweet, and delicious. When the boss handed it to him after it was done, he smiled brightly. “Since you’re Brother Ci’s son-in-law, I’ll give this candied hawthorn to you. It’s free.”
When Ling Sheng heard that he did not want money, she ran over hurriedly. After calculating for a bit, she used her phone to scan the payment code and gave him 30 yuan. “Uncle, my dad is my dad. He’s him. How can he not pay?”
“Lass, do you think Uncle lacks the money?” the boss shouted when he heard the beep of a successful transaction. Upon seeing the young couple run away, he hurriedly took another two sticks of candied hawthorns and chased after them before shoving the food to them. “Didn’t your husband say that your grandma is back? Your father said your grandma likes to eat this too. Give this to her.”
This girl just wouldn’t listen no matter what. She always insisted on paying. His candied hawthorns weren’t worth much anyway. They should be newlyweds and Brother Ci was also a regular customer of his. He had given it to them to celebrate.
Ling Sheng couldn’t reject it no matter how she tried. Uncle even said that he would get angry if she gave him money again. In the end, she took two sticks of candied hawthorns and thanked him. He was doing a small business, so it wasn’t easy for him to earn money to support his family. How could she take advantage of him?!
Yu Zheng had already removed the online video immediately. Xiaoqi’s photos, the video file, and various screenshots had also been removed very cleanly. He definitely wouldn’t be exposed to the public.
However, when some directors in the entertainment circle found out that the Best Actor had a grandson and that the child was also very handsome, formal and informal invitations came like snowflakes. They were all for parent-child programs.
Xiaoqi had been very troubled recently. Great-grandpa’s birthday was coming up soon. He wanted to use the money he earned to buy a gift for his great-grandpa, but he was too young to make money. However, he had heard that many people had looked for him to film commercials and appear on television shows in the past two days. He could earn a lot of money. Like Grandpa and Mommy, he could also appear on television. Everyone could see him.
Huo Ci was watching television in the living room when he saw the little fella run over on his short legs while carrying a plate of washed strawberries. He even took one and fed him. He really enjoyed the strawberries his grandson had given him respectfully and was satisfied.
“Grandpa.” Xiaoqi tugged at Huo Ci, his big eyes full of little stars. He wanted to say something, but he was too embarrassed. He just looked at him with a flattering smile on his face.
Huo Ci immediately felt that the strawberry in his mouth was no longer sweet. He looked at the brat, who kept hesitating to speak, and frowned. “Speak.”
“Grandpa, can Xiaoqi earn money?” Xiaoqi blurted out all his thoughts. “Xiaoqi wants to earn money himself and buy a gift for Great-grandpa, all right, Grandpa?”
“Do I not give you enough money?” Huo Ci gave him a disdainful look.
“But Grandpa, that’s not Xiaoqi’s money.” Xiaoqi started to act spoiled and pestered him. He pouted, his pitiful look making one’s heart melt. How could he bear to reject his request? “Can Xiaoqi attend ‘Daddy is Superman’ with Grandpa?”
Huo Ci smiled. “Who told you I was going to participate in ‘Daddy is Superman’? I’m your grandpa, not your father. If you want to attend a show, go find your father. Why are you looking for me?”
He knew about the show. It was a parent-child program that had garnered extremely high viewership recently. He had been invited to take the brat with him to film an episode as a guest. As the remuneration given was very high, he had even taken a look.
