Chapter 101 Home is a Haven
Push open the door to the rented room.
The house was quiet, with only faint noises coming from the bedroom.
Chen Yuan tiptoed over and pushed open the bedroom door.
Chen Youyou was sitting on the bed, rubbing her sleepy eyes, holding a teddy bear in her arms.
When she saw Chen Yuan come in, she spoke in a soft, sweet voice, slightly hoarse from just waking up.
"Dad, you're back?"
Chen Yuan's heart softened, and he quickly walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"I'm sorry Dad is late. Did you wake up earlier, or just now?"
"just."
Are you sleepy or hungry?
"Tired and hungry."
Chen Youyou yawned, then opened her arms for a hug.
Chen Yuan smiled and hugged his daughter, gently rubbing his chin against her fine, soft hair.
"Dad came home a little late. I brought you steamed buns and soy milk. Would you like some steamed egg custard? How about I make you some?"
"good……"
"Shall we go wash our faces now?"
"Um!"
Chen Yuan first went to the bathroom and brought out a basin of water, then wet Youyou's special small towel.
"Come on, wash your face, and then we'll eat something delicious."
Chen Youyou obediently closed her eyes, letting the warm towel brush against her cheeks.
Chen Yuan is quite skilled at taking care of children; his movements are very light and gentle.
After wiping her face, I applied children's face cream.
A child's face is so delicate and tender.
It's so lovely that I can't put it down.
Chen Yuan opened the small wardrobe and took the initiative to ask his daughter's opinion.
"What do you want to wear today?"
"I want the yellow one. Aunt Xiaoxue bought it for me. By the way, Dad, why didn't Aunt Xiaoxue come?"
"She seems to have some kind of meeting today, so she can't come."
"Oh well."
"Even though Aunt Xiaoxue can't come, Daddy will take you to Grandpa and Grandma's house later, okay?"
"Okay! Youyou misses her grandpa and grandma!"
After dressing her, Chen Yuan braided her hair into two small braids.
After practicing for a while, his braiding skills have steadily improved. Although there aren't as many tricks, at least they're presentable.
After tidying up, Chen Youyou sat at the dining table and ate a meat bun.
Chen Yuan quickly made an egg custard.
Soon, the golden, steaming hot, and smooth steamed egg custard was served.
It doesn't need to be fed.
Chen Youyou picked up her spoon and began to eat heartily.
After taking two bites.
Chen Youyou asked, "Dad, have you had breakfast? Do you want to eat eggs together?"
Seeing that his daughter didn't forget about him while she was eating, Chen Yuan felt a surge of emotion.
"No need, Dad has already eaten at the breakfast shop."
"All right."
After finishing our meal and cleaning up, it was almost 10:30.
Got in the car.
Chen Youyou asked expectantly as she sat in her car seat.
"Dad, are Grandpa and Grandma going to cook lots and lots of delicious food for lunch today?"
"yes."
"Let's go quickly then. I miss Grandpa, and I miss Grandma too."
"Do you miss your grandparents, or do you miss their delicious cooking?"
"Hmm... I want both."
Chen Yuan was speechless; this kid was honest, after all.
"We'll go to the market later. Dad needs to buy some groceries for Grandpa and Grandma. What else would you like to eat? Tell Dad, and Dad will buy it for you, okay?"
"Okay~ Grandpa loves to eat fish, Dad, you have to buy a big fish for Grandpa to eat."
"Okay, whatever you say."
The car drove into the courtyard.
From a distance, Chen Yuan could see two figures standing at the door waiting.
Chen Da stood with his hands behind his back.
Wang Xiulan craned her neck and saw the bread truck in the distance, so she stretched out her arm to wave.
"Here it comes!"
As soon as the bread truck stopped, the two men immediately crowded around it.
"Oh my, my baby!" Wang Xiulan pushed past Chen Da, opened the car door, and then picked up Chen YOYO and kissed her again and again.
"I missed Grandma so much! Why did it take you so long to come?"
Chen Youyou obediently hugged her grandmother's neck and said coquettishly.
"Grandma, Youyou misses you too, she misses you so much."
This completely melted the old lady's heart.
Chen Yuan got out of the car, took out the things he bought from the trunk, and followed his parents into the yard.
"I've been a bit busy these past few days and haven't had much time. I bought you two milk and some nutritional supplements, so you can eat some whenever you're free. Oh, and I also bought calcium tablets."
Chen Da said, "Why are you spending this money? Your mother and I both have money. You just need to take care of the three of you."
Chen Yuan put the things down.
Chen Da glanced at Chen Yuan silently a few times and then said.
"You've been working so hard, you've lost weight. Luckily, your mom made some chicken soup. Eat more of it at noon to help you recover."
"I've been quite busy these past few days."
"Being busy is good; it means business is good."
The chicken and ribs in the kitchen are stewing on the stove.
The whole room was filled with the aroma of meat.
Wang Xiulan held Youyou affectionately for a while before letting Chen Da take her to wash her hands.
She glanced at her son and said the exact same thing as Chen Da.
"You've lost weight, you've gotten noticeably thinner."
"Really? You and Dad both said that, but I didn't really notice it myself."
"Don't just focus on making money. Your health is the most important thing for you young people. No amount of money is as important as good health. You, your dad, and I are examples of that."
After saying that, Wang Xiulan bent down to examine the things Chen Yuan had brought, chattering on and on as she looked at them.
"Why did you bring all this stuff? These calcium tablets look cheap just by looking at the packaging. Old Wang said there's no need to buy them at all; it's a waste of money."
"Which Old Wang is it?"
"Old Wang, who dances in the square with me every night, has a daughter who sells health supplements. She says these things are completely useless."
"What do you mean it's useless? Don't listen to their nonsense."
"This isn't just nonsense. I think this stuff is really useless. Drinking more bone broth is enough."
Chen Yuan had to spend some more time arguing with his mother.
This explains that bone broth has no nutritional value, so older adults should take calcium supplements to increase their calcium intake.
It turned out to be completely useless.
These elderly people are very stubborn. Chen Yuan was talking until his throat was dry when Wang Xiulan blurted out something.
"Alright, alright, I'm so old, do you think I know more than you?"
That killed the game.
Left with no other option, Chen Yuan had to resort to his trump card.
"Mom, do you know how much this bottle of calcium tablets costs?"
"Fifty? Eighty?"
"Three hundred and eighty."
This number has clearly exceeded Wang Xiulan's psychological capacity to bear.
"Huh?! Are you out of your mind, kid?"
Chen Yuan said without changing his expression.
"Never mind if I'm crazy or not, the price is what it is. If you don't eat it, you'll have to throw it away when it expires."
"You decide what to do."
Chen Yuan: This is called using magic to defeat magic.
