Chapter 19 (2/2)
Ji Xiao Zhuo blanked, “What are you doing, daddy?”
“Daddy will push while you sit down,” said Ji Yan as he placed Ji Xiao Zhuo in the shopping trolley’s seat.
Ji Xiao Zhuo understood the situation and unconsciously smiled. Since he was afraid that other people would find out, he forced himself to restrain from smiling and waved his hand, “Ah, I’m not three years old anymore. It’s not good for me to sit on this.”
Tang Tang held in her laugh while Ji Yan’s lips twitched.
————————————
Tang Tang bought five kilos of beef and chicken each. It was a large amount of meat. Ji Yan didn’t understand, “Why are you buying so much meat? It won’t be fresh if it’s kept too long.”
“Oh, I want to make some sauce.” Tang Tang didn’t mention that she was making it for him. She was planning to hide it first because it would be awkward if she mentioned it, and Ji Yan said he didn’t want it. It would be best if she made it first before telling him. He would probably be willing to take it with him then.
Ji Yan didn’t think too much about it and just nodded.
It was still early when they got home. Tang Tang made some simple dishes for the father and son to eat before taking the meat to the kitchen to prepare the sauce. She was planning to make a beef and pork sauce that would taste and go well with rice.
Tang Tang was planning to make jerky with the leftover meat. The jerky could last for a long time, and it tasted good. It was also great to eat when hungry. She was using the secret recipe that her wet nurse had taught her. Most people had never tried it before and didn’t know that jerky was suitable for people who exercised a lot.
While Tang Tang was busy in the kitchen, Ji Yan took Xiao Zhuo to the hardware shop to buy a lightbulb. When they returned, Ji Yan went into Tang Tang’s bathroom to change the lights. Then he went around the house to check the objects and fixed everything that was broken.
Ji Xiao Zhuo followed Ji Yan from behind. When Ji Yan was finished, Xiao Zhuo suddenly asked, “Daddy, you are going to leave, aren’t you?”
Ji Yan touched Xiao Zhuo’s face, “Daddy’s holiday is ending. I need to get back to the squad by tomorrow night.”
Ji Xiao Zhuo pursed his lips and stopped himself from crying. He put up a strong front and said, “Daddy, I’ll behave at home. I will look after mummy. You don’t need to worry. “
Ji Yan lifted the little one and gave him a tender kiss, “Ok. I know you’re a good boy. Daddy believes you.”
Ji Xiao Zhuo had his arms around Ji Yan’s neck and buried his face into Ji Yan. Xiao Zhuo’s eyes reddened as his voice choked, “Then if I miss you, can I go and see you, daddy?”
Ji Yan’s heart ached. After a period of silence, he suddenly asked, “Xiao Zhuo, do you want to come and live with daddy? Are you willing to attend the nursery over there?”
Ji Xiao Zhuo immediately lifted his head, “I can go with daddy?”
“Yes. However, there are no tall buildings, no theme parks, no delicious food, and there is nowhere fun to play. Are you still willing to go?”
Ji Xiao Zhuo nodded without giving it any thought, “I’m willing! It’s fine as long as I can be with daddy. I want to go with you. Take me with you, daddy.”
Ji Yan kissed Xiao Zhuo’s forehead as he made a decision in his mind.
Like he suddenly remembered something important, Xiao Zhuo asked nervously, “Then, are we bringing mummy as well? I don’t want to separate with mummy. We need to bring mummy with us. We can’t leave her.”
“Ok…” Ji Yan suddenly had a feeling that the little pig he had been raising was stolen by someone else. How long has it been, and the little one was constantly thinking about his mummy. Would he be pushed to the last place after some more time?
After knowing that his daddy would be taking him along, Ji Xiao Zhuo was extremely happy. He instantly dashed towards the kitchen and crashed into Tang Tang like a little bullet.
Tang Tang, who was thin as a skeleton, couldn’t handle such a strong force or weight. Having one of her legs was injured made her standing unstable, so she was knocked over. As she fell, her arm collided with the stove. It was very painful, and she couldn’t stand up by herself.
Ji Xiao Zhuo was frightened and knew that he had done something wrong. He instantly went to try and lift Tang Tang up, but he was too young and small, so he called out to Ji Yan urgently.
Ji Yan rushed in, took a glance at the situation before he quickly lifting Tang Tang up and carried her to the sofa in the living room, “What’s wrong? Are you hurt anywhere?”
Hiding her pain, Tang Tang shook her hand, “Nothing. Nothing. My arm was knocked into something, and I just suddenly had a loss of strength in my legs.”
Ji Yan examined Tang Tang’s arm and checked the bone. He noticed that the bone was alright, but there was a tissue injury, which might swell later.
He applied some medicine on Tang Tang’s arm.
Ji Xiao Zhuo felt very guilty and tearfully apologized, “I’m sorry, mummy. I was wrong. I shouldn’t crash into you with so much force.” Normally he would do the same thing to Ji Yan, but Ji Yan was able to catch him every time. He momentarily overlooked the difference in strength between his daddy and mummy. He forgot that their strength was not the same.
Tang Tang wiped his tears, “It’s alright. There’s nothing wrong with mummy. Don’t worry. “
“Then I’ll blow it for you mummy, it won’t hurt after blowing on it.” Ji Xiao Zhuo took Tang Tang’s arm and started to blow on it.
Ji Yan looked at Tang Tang. She really could be described as thin as a skeleton. She looked like she would be knocked over by a strong wind. Her body definitely couldn’t handle the force from Xiao Zhuo’s body. Luckily nothing serious happened this time, but the same couldn’t be said if it had occurred at the stairs or some other dangerous areas. That was why Ji Yan seriously lectured Xiao Zhuo, “You can’t run to mummy with such force next time. Mummy is slim, so she can’t catch you. You need to remember this, Xiao Zhuo.”
Ji Xiao Zhuo lowered his head and mumbled, “I know. I’m too fat. Mummy can’t catch me.”
So he knew he was fat. Ji Yan thought helplessly.
