Chapter 455 - Babysitter Zhang Ye! (1/2)
Chapter 455: Babysitter Zhang Ye!
Afternoon.
At the courtyard door.
Aunt and Sis insisted on walking with him out of the courtyard.
”Little Ye, drive carefully.”
”Yea, got it Aunt.”
”Thanks, Little Ye.”
”Sis, there's no need to say so much. Go back in.”
”Okay. Come whenever you have time. There will be someone home all the time anyway.”
Not long after he got into his car and drove out of his aunt's alley, his cellphone, that he had thrown onto the pa.s.senger seat, rang. His eyes were sharp and he saw Rao Aimin's name appear on the caller ID. He reached out to grab the phone and turned the hands-free mode on through the dashboard.
”Landlady auntie.” He held onto his steering wheel as he continued driving.
In a polite manner that Rao Aimin had never done before, she asked, ”Where are you??”
”I went to my Sis' place and just left. Why? Is there something?” Zhang Ye asked.
Rao Aimin said, ”Come over to my place and look after the kid today. I need to settle some issues outside. I'm not sure what time I’ll be back. I will be waiting here!”
Zhang Ye complained, ”If you are going out, just go. Chenchen doesn't need anyone to take care of her. She's so smart and resourceful. It's already good enough that she doesn't go around bullying people.”
”Hey, what's with those words. Cut the nonsense and hurry over!”
”I have to go home tonight. I was not home for the new year and my parents are already nagging. If I keep staying out, my mum is going to kill me for sure.”
”If you don't head over here, I will take your life.”
”d.a.m.n, alright, alright. I will come over right now.”
”OK, when you get here, bring a bottle of soy sauce on the way. There's no more left in the house. I'm hanging up now.”
”You really take me to be a nanny now? Looking after the kid and buying soy sauce?! This bro's not a small fry anymore, how can you treat a famous person like this?”
He did not hear any response from the other end.
Du du du, the call had already disconnected.
Zhang Ye was helpless. Forget it, this bro's mood isn't too bad right now. I will be generous and not take this up with a woman like you. He continued his drive towards Jiaomen!
......
He arrived.
He got out of the car to buy what he needed to.
At the shop in the neighborhood. Ever since Zhang Ye's address had been exposed and with the attack some days ago, everyone who were from around here knew that Zhang Ye also stayed here.
”Yo, Teacher Zhang!” The grocery store's big sis’ eyes brightened up.
Zhang Ye smiled, ”Give me a bottle of soy sauce please.”
The big sis asked, ”Dark or light? What brand?”
Zhang Ye wasn't too sure himself, ”Anything is fine. It doesn't matter.”
The big sis smiled, ”Then I will give you the plain one.”
”Sure, how much is it?” Zhang Ye reached for his wallet.
”Ah, there’s no need for that.” The big sis waved him off.
Zhang Ye said, ”How can I?”
The big sis laughed out, ”Just you choosing to come to shop is our shop's fortune, so how can I accept payment? If you want to buy other things in the future, just give us a call. I will get my son to deliver it to your place.”
Now, that's what you called popularity!
Look at this bro's popularity!
Zhang Ye felt good, but due to his principles of not taking advantage of commoners monetarily, he still paid up. With the item in hand, he brought it upstairs.
Ring, ring, ring.
Mom gave him a call.
”Son, I heard you helped your Sis?” Mom's tone sounded good.
Zhang Ye acknowledged, ”Yea, it's just a small favor. Did Aunt call you to inform you?”
His mother happily said, ”Yes, your Aunt kept praising you and even said that your Sis' blogshop is gaining popularity. In just an hour, she has already earned quite a large sum. Well done, Son. I've just gotten off the phone with Dad and he says you did well. Your Aunt's family hasn't been doing too well since your uncle pa.s.sed away. We couldn't do much to help them back then either, so now that you've done well in life, you should take care of them some more. Your Aunt has always taken good care of you when you were young during the seasonal school breaks.”
Zhang Ye said, ”I know.”
His mother said, ”Alright then.”
”Uh, Mom. I don't know if I can make it home tonight. My landlady has something to attend to and requested me to take care of her child. It's that big sis who helped me to get released from the police station the other time.” Zhang Ye said.
His mother was in a good mood, so she happily responded, ”Then you must help her with her request. Alright, I understand. I won't leave any food for you tonight.”
”OK.”
After hanging up, he went upstairs in the lift.
Dong dong. Zhang Ye knocked on the door, ”Landlady auntie!”
After a long while, footsteps sounded as someone walked towards the door. After some struggle with the door handle, the door finally opened, revealing a deadpan looking Chenchen.
Zhang Ye wondered, ”Where's your aunt?”
Chenchen pouted, ”Zhang Ye, why are you so late? My aunt left already.”
”Do you think I can fly? I had to drive over.” Zhang Ye came inside and closed the door. He did not change into slippers and just placed the soy sauce on the kitchen counter, ”It's just the two of us, so you can go watch TV.” He yawned. In the room, it was rather warm. Feeling sleepy, he said, ”Your uncle Zhang will be taking a nap.”
Chenchen ignored him, sat on the sofa, and began watching cartoons. ”OK.”
