He selected an old hen and went to the meat stall to buy some meat.
The meat was to be used for making stuffed pancakes.
That way, from now on, Ji Pianran wouldn't have to eat mixed-grain pancakes for breakfast anymore.
As for the old hen, that would be the dinner for their family of three tonight.
After purchasing the chicken and meat, Gu Chen sat in the car back to the village with Tangtang in his arms.
...
By the time he got home, it was already four in the afternoon.
During the day, Ji Pianran had helped Gu Chen repair his shoes and added new cotton to them.
She had just washed the shoes and set them to dry by the windowsill.
Turning her head, she saw Gu Chen carrying a slaughtered chicken in one hand and leading Tangtang with the other.
Father and daughter entered the yard chatting and laughing.
She flashed them a gentle, beautiful smile.
"Back already," she said.
Gu Chen's heart fluttered.
These days, Ji Pianran was smiling more and more, a good sign!
He nodded.
