He had just smelled the scent of fried chicken, and when he poked his head into the shop for a glance, the big yellow dog started chasing him.
These things, his dad usually didn't let him eat or even smell, claiming they were junk food.
But he didn't believe it. How could something so delicious be bad to eat even a little of?
Thinking of this, Qin Morui's eyes became more eager, and he couldn't help but remember the pretty aunt at the airport who bought him fried chicken last time.
If only that aunt were his mom, then he could eat fried chicken every day...
"Gurgle—" came another sound, this time the sound of him swallowing.
His little eyes longingly looked at Shen Yixian, melting the old man's heart.
No matter what, a child couldn't be left hungry. Just as he was about to turn and buy fried chicken for the little guy, Lin Ci, who had just come out of the kitchen, quickly grabbed him, "Old man, where are you going?"
"I'm going to buy fried chicken for Ruirui."
"Buy what?!" Lin Ci pulled Shen Yixian a couple of steps aside and lowered her voice, "It's not about the money, but look at the clothes that child is wearing, that look... He clearly comes from a rich family. Wealthy people have rules, would they let their child eat such fried foods?"
"..."
"Besides, it's really not good for kids to eat too much fried food, and spicy hot pot and stinky tofu aren't suitable either. I'll make him a stuffed pancake and cook a bowl of egg noodles."
Shen Yixian snapped out of it and nodded repeatedly, "You're right, we'll do it your way. I'll make the pancakes while you cook the noodles."
After they finished discussing, just as they turned to explain to the little guy, they discovered the two children at the dining table had disappeared!
Thinking of something, they looked up at the fried chicken shop across the street.
"This one, this one, and this one..."
Ji Xingyao was leading the little brother and generously buying him fried chicken, her little finger pointing as if commanding an empire, ordering several servings in one go.
This act left Shen Yixian and Lin Ci dumbfounded.
Was this their granddaughter? The little miser had suddenly turned so generous.
They were so shocked that they temporarily forgot to intervene, so they didn't hear Little Glutinous Rice Dumpling muttering while paying, "My grandparents are good people, but they work very hard to earn money. If you want to eat fried chicken, you have to buy it yourself, okay?"
"..."
"If you don't have money, I'll lend it to you without charging interest. Since you carried me back earlier, I'll even treat you to a pancake roll. My grandpa's pancake rolls are really delicious." Little Glutinous Rice Dumpling said, picking up two bags of fried chicken and returning to the shop with Qin Morui.
Seeing the Shen Family couple staring at the door in a daze, she said with a beaming smile, "Grandpa, Grandma, Big Brother wants to eat a pancake roll."
"Oh oh... No, Yaoyao, you shouldn't eat fried chicken..." Lin Ci was the first to react and was about to go forward to stop them, but Shen Yixian quickly held her back.
"Forget it, it's already bought. Let them eat. The oil used across the street is quite decent, so eating once in a while is fine. It's rare for the two kids to be so happy. Usually, Yaoyao doesn't like to play with kids her age, let alone take money out of her pocket."
Shen Yixian winked at Lin Ci. Seeing the children already enjoying the fried chicken, Lin Ci felt it was not appropriate to say anything more.
She turned back to the kitchen to make pancakes and cooked a bowl of egg noodles.
The dining table quickly became filled with delicious food.
Qin Morui no longer cared about appearances, with a fried chicken leg in one hand and a pancake roll in the other, devouring it all in no time.
