Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 10 Uncle
The urban area of ​​Nanshan is just a city that can't even be ranked in the fourth level. The level of prosperity is far behind that of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, but there are still a variety of restaurants that should be there.

These days, the fastest rising is the level of consumption.

Cheng He saved a good amount of money, hugged his daughter and said dotingly: "Baby, what do you want to eat at noon? Dad is rich, so he can eat whatever he wants."

I just received a large sum of money, and it would be a lie to say that I am not excited.

Cheng Xinxin pointed at the golden arches in the distance, and said in a milky voice, "Father, I want to eat that, Uncle McDonald's."

Cheng He raised his forehead, he made a lot of money today, so he ate this?
But there is no way, my daughter loves to eat, so let her be satisfied!He didn't hope that when his daughter grew up in the future, she still remembered that her father refused to satisfy her even this small wish when she was a child.

In fact, another reason is that Cheng He still doesn't want to impose his preferences on her.She has her nature, she is the age to like McDonald's, so let her enjoy it.

One day, like herself, she will no longer think this is a great place.

There is a place for children to play in McDonald's. As soon as the little girl entered, she had a great time playing with the strange children inside.

Looking at her smile, Cheng He felt that his heart was about to warm up.For her, everything is worth doing.

After playing for a while, the father and daughter went to order food. Cheng He ordered a children's set meal for his daughter, and he ordered some casually.

Anyway, to him, these things are all the same, just filling his stomach.Compared with the wild game cooked with my own hands yesterday, it was too far away.

Cheng He himself didn't have much taste, but his daughter ate happily.He didn't understand how children's sense of taste developed.

Maybe, she just likes the dining atmosphere here?There is food, something to play, and children.

While eating, a waiter came over, put a box of small corn on the table, and said softly, "Uncle, give this to my sister."

Cheng He was taken aback, and raised his head with a bulging hamburger in his mouth. This is a very handsome waitress, her eyes are flickering and very aura, she is young, with twin ponytails, she may be a part-time student.

But why did she call herself uncle?
Is it possible to become an uncle with a child?How depressing it is!
The waitress suddenly felt embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Uncle, I'm Wen Xue!"

Wen Xue?

Cheng He swallowed the hamburger and almost choked to death.Isn't Wen Xue a brat?Why is it so big?

But think about it, five or six years have passed, has he really grown up so much?

Most of Taohua Village has the same surname, and only a very small number of residents who moved from other places do not have the surname Cheng.Wen Xue's family is one of them.

In the early years, Wen Xue's grandfather moved into the village, and later got married and had children in the village, and later had a granddaughter, Wen Xue.

Cheng He remembered that when he left, the girl was still bouncing all over the floor, but she didn't expect to grow so big.

Time!
Cheng He's seniority in the village is not low, and many younger than him call him uncle.Originally, Wen Xue's surname was Wen, so her seniority didn't have to be arranged according to Cheng's surname, but when she was young, everyone who played with her was called uncle, so she followed suit.

I didn't expect that the little girl who ran all over the mountain back then had grown up so much, and she was the one who recognized her first.

Cheng He quickly asked: "Xiaoxue, it's you! Why are you working here? Are you in high school? Students should still focus on their studies."

Seeing that Cheng He finally remembered, Wen Xue blushed slightly, and whispered, "Well, I'm a sophomore in high school now. Today, Sunday, I will do some part-time work to earn living expenses. I can keep up with my studies if it doesn't get in the way."

Cheng He nodded. It is now June, and she will be in her third year of high school soon. It is the stage of intense study, and she actually has to work part-time to make money.

Life is not easy!
Looking at the box of small corn she sent over, he quickly greeted his daughter: "Xinxin, thank you sister."

Cheng Xinxin immediately dragged the box of small corns in front of her, raised her head and smiled cutely at Wen Xue: "Thank you, sister."

Wen Xue reached out and touched her head, and said in a low voice, "Sister is so good, you're welcome, eat quickly."

Another customer came to the store, Wen Xue simply said these few words and ran away.

Not long after, Wen Xue finished her busy work, ran over again, and asked in a whisper, "Uncle... are you going back to Peach Blossom Village soon?"

Cheng He nodded: "Come back, what's the matter?"

"Can I...please...wait here for a while, I...I want to buy something, you can bring it to my grandpa..." Wen Xue stammered more and more, feeling very embarrassed.

It seems that this is a shy character who doesn't like to trouble others.When a girl grows up, her lively personality is completely different from her childhood.

Cheng He nodded repeatedly, and said, "It's okay, you can go buy it. I'll be fine if I wait here for a while, and I can just play here with Xinxin."

Wen Xue immediately ran away.

Cheng He thought about it. When he left, Wen Xue's grandfather was almost 90 years old, so he must be more than 90 now?I don't know how he is now, and whether he has anyone to take care of him.

Cheng Xinxin was happily eating, and suddenly raised her head and said, "Dad, it's very cool in McDonald's."

Cheng He couldn't keep up with the child's mental thinking, so he nodded in agreement: "Yes, the air conditioner is turned on here, so it's very cool."

He looked a little sad. There is no air conditioner in the mountain village, and the child suffers with him.

Not long after, Wen Xue ran over panting, holding a full convenience bag in her hand, panting and said: "Thank you uncle. I have caused you trouble."

Cheng He took it over and said: "Look at what you said, it's more out of the ordinary. What's the trouble here. Didn't I tell you to slow down? You don't need to run so fast."

Wen Xue lowered her head and smiled, reaching out to wipe off her sweat.

Cheng He asked again: "Is your grandfather in good health now?"

"My grandfather...he is in good health. My parents have gone out to work, and I have to go to school. My grandfather and my younger brother are at home." Wen Xue whispered.

Wen Xue also has a younger brother who is 10 years old now.This is even smaller. When Cheng He left, this guy was probably still wetting the bed, so I really don't have any impression.

Cheng He nodded, this was the answer he expected.In the mountain village, basically everyone who can go out has gone out, and the old and the young stay in the village, which is basically the case.

It's not easy for Wen Xue. This bag of things must have been bought with the little money she earned from part-time jobs.

He didn't say anything else, just said: "Okay, don't worry, I will definitely take it back for you. You should also study hard."

Wen Xue lowered her head and said, "I see, uncle."

Cheng He scratched his head. When he was a child, he heard someone younger than him call him uncle. It felt good. Why doesn't he feel so comfortable now?
It seems to call people old.

After chatting for a few words, Cheng He took his daughter and left to go to the supermarket to buy some things.

He originally wanted to leave some money for Wen Xue so that she would not have to work part-time to make money and delay her studies.But I was afraid that this would be too abrupt and hurt people's self-esteem.After all, we haven't seen each other for several years, and she is a girl again.

Forget it, I'll go to the supermarket later, and in her name, let's buy something for her grandpa!It's the same.

Entering a relatively large supermarket, Cheng He chose a lot of things with all his might.Toiletries, general furniture and appliances, one large and one small beds, and daily necessities.

Looking at it scattered, the money is not spent.

The things Cheng He chose were not bad, and the small [-] yuan was spent.

Anyway, back to the village, not for vacation, the time to stay will not be short, and these things can't be taken too lightly.

When Cheng Xinxin entered the supermarket, she was overjoyed. She wanted this and that, and most of them were for food. She also wanted cute floral dresses when she saw them, and she liked little demon fairies even more.

Cheng He responded to every request.

He couldn't give her a complete family, but he tried his best to meet her material requirements.

Also, he didn't forget to buy some good dog food for Napoleon.Although it also eats meat and bones with people, in terms of nutrition, dog food is more comprehensive.

Imported dog food is not cheap, but Cheng He didn't frown. He owed Napoleon too much these years.
