Chapter 1912 Older Brother and Sister
If the little one were here, she'd probably go crazy. This place is a treasure trove, and she absolutely loves it.
Chen Chuan picked up a cherry tomato, and Shen Xi simply leaned over and snatched it from between his fingers.
He reluctantly took another pill and put it in his mouth.
"She should be back in the next couple of days."
As Shen Xi chewed, she rested her head on Chen Chuan's shoulder. The sun shone on them, warm and comforting.
"You know, children are such strange creatures. When they're around, you find them annoying, but when they're not around, you miss them terribly."
Chen Chuan chuckled softly, "I'm fine, you seem to be more eager."
"Tch!" Shen Xi scoffed. "Do you even believe what you're saying?"
Treasure was his precious lifeline.
Chen Chuan lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "If every day were like last night, I could let Dad take the treasure out to roam the world for a year or two."
Pooh! shameless!
Her calves are still cramping...
But, unwilling to admit defeat, she stubbornly retorted, "I'm fine. There are only tires that die from exhaustion, not fields that are ruined by overwork. What am I afraid of?"
"Yeah, so who was crying and begging me to be gentler last night because they were going to break them..."
She pinched his lips shut: "Shut your mouth, little mouth."
Although she is a shameless person, she is not that shameless.
Do all men have a talent for making crude jokes? Chen Chuan is a prime example; who would have thought that someone with such a sharp tongue could utter such vulgar words...?
She conceded defeat.
Chen Chuan chuckled, but did not press his advantage, mainly because he was afraid his wife would take action.
After all, when teasing a wife who is too strong, you have to be careful about the methods and the limits.
The couple sat and chatted, then looked at the children playing on the large lawn. They had rested enough and were about to leave when they suddenly saw the same couple from before turn around and stare at the bench. The couple exchanged a glance, and the bottoms that had just been lifted up fell back down.
Hey, I'm not leaving! I'm going to drive you crazy!
Sure enough, they stormed off again. Shen Xi and Chen Chuan both burst out laughing. Yes, they really were naughty, but teasing them was quite fun.
The couple then continued strolling through the park; it was really lively there on the weekend.
There are an overwhelming number of toys, especially for children.
They let Caibao try out everything first, from goldfish scooping and trampolines to mini trains and rock climbing, so she'd know what to bring her to play next time.
Shen Xi loves to play, especially catching goldfish.
Chen Chuan directed: "Find that one, the colorful one, that one's expensive!"
Shen Xi was quick-witted and nimble, scooping up the fish with the net in one go.
Normally, these nets break when they get wet, but Shen Xi managed to catch several fish in one go, making the shopkeeper's face turn pale.
"Wow!"
A group of children gathered around to watch her catch fish.
They also actively offered suggestions.
"Auntie, scoop out the red one, that one's pretty."
"That black one is so cool."
"Green, green is the prettiest! My mom says that if you want life to be okay, you have to have some green in it! Auntie, get the green ones!"
Hmm, this young man has some good ideas.
……
Shen Xi is a very receptive person to advice; she'll follow your lead.
"Don't catch that guppy, whatever you do."
Chen Chuan said it was late. While Shen Xi was catching other fish, she casually scooped up two green guppies.
She looked at him innocently: "We got it, what do we do now?"
Return it to the boss?
The boss, the child, and Shen Xi all stared at him expectantly, each with their own hopes.
Chen Chuan smiled slightly and asked the little boy whose life was a bit green, "Do you really like green?"
The child nodded vigorously.
"Then I'll give it to you."
"Really? Thank you, brother. Thank you, sister. Sister, you've worked so hard. You are all such kind people."
After Kuku gave him a bunch of "good guy" cards, the little boy picked up the plastic bag containing the fish and ran away as fast as he could, afraid that the two adults would change their minds later.
Watching the little boy quickly disappear from sight, Shen Xi exclaimed, "This child is a natural track and field athlete."
That speed, that posture, a promising talent.
Chen Chuan nodded: "Yes, hopefully a few months from now, he and his parents will still think we are good people."
After all, there aren't many children as polite and perceptive as this anymore.
He just called him brother.
Shen Xi looked at him: "What do you mean by that?"
"As everyone knows, the three most notorious pets are guppies, hamsters, and beagles."
Shen Xi didn't know anything else, but she instantly understood when the topic turned to golden hamsters.
There was a little girl in our neighborhood who kept a golden hamster as a pet. Not long after, her parents started spamming the neighborhood group chat with ads offering to give away golden hamsters for free.
The first batch of victims who accepted the cheap offer soon realized what was going on.
They're incredibly prolific.
The house quickly became overcrowded with bears, unable to hold them all, and they kept having litters after litter. The guy who posted the ad in the group chat ended up being the one who took over the litter.
This time, the other homeowners have become more shrewd and are not easily willing to take over.
That couple, during that period, became like this in the neighborhood—
"Little Deng, are you out for a walk? Have you eaten yet?"
"Aunt Jin, good evening. Does your grandson want a golden hamster? I can send you a few, male or female, you can choose."
Auntie: ...
They give them to everyone they meet. If you say a word to them, they'll bring up the topic of giving you a golden hamster, from friends to relatives to colleagues to... strangers.
I heard that once, when someone asked for directions, he forced several golden hamsters on them as a free gift, which was extremely outrageous.
Moreover, he became cunning. When his children were playing, he would take the golden hamster's cage over. To be honest, the little thing was quite cute, and the children couldn't resist such temptation. They all rushed over with a "wow".
His son, Kuku, keeps sending his kids to school, and the parents can't stop him no matter what they try.
In the end, each person brought home 460 or 80 animals.
Several treasures were almost stuffed into his hands, if only the little guy hadn't been so clever.
When she got home and told her parents about it, Shen Xi asked her, "Everyone else accepted them, why didn't you take any?"
The little guy shook his head: "Dad taught me that free things are always the most expensive. Why wasn't Youyou so generous before? If he's giving things away like this all of a sudden, it's either because he has an ulterior motive or he's giving something bad."
Shen Xi was convinced.
In the end, it turned out that Treasure was right.
The children who took the golden hamsters home were met with a barrage of insults.
Then, after a while, the hamsters in the neighborhood became an infestation.
All the parents wanted to give their pets away, but the most outrageous one couldn't find anyone to give them away in real life and couldn't bear to kill them. She racked her brains and came up with a truly outrageous and wicked idea.
