Chapter 810 Unnecessary
Chapter 810: Chapter 810 Unnecessary
Yu Jingting brought Suizi to a newly established tourism street night market.
Besides daily necessities, fruits, and vegetables, the biggest feature was that the stalls here were all set up by several well-established restaurants nearby; star-rated chefs were cooking in the street and the waiters from the restaurants were serving the dishes.
"How could there be such a project—was this your suggestion?" Suizi reacted immediately.
She remembered from her past life, there were such places, but they would not appear until several years later.
The effects were very good; not only did local residents come for a stroll, but also foreign friends came for tourism. It created a calling card for the city and refreshed the impression of the East.
But after all, that was something that would only exist in a few years. Bringing it to the present was indeed a forward-thinking approach.
Suizi hadn’t mentioned it to Yu Jingting, but she intuitively felt it had something to do with him.
"I casually mentioned it to the Tourism Bureau when I went out with my dad, and they took the idea and ran with it. They sought me out later, and I gave them a few suggestions, which they implemented quite well."
It was indeed him!
"It’s also the mindset you brought, just replicating our family’s experience of running the roller-skating rink. Without you, there wouldn’t be today’s prosperity."
Yu Jingting pulled out a stack of complimentary tickets from his pocket. Being a think-tank for others wasn’t without its benefits, and this stack of tickets was given to him by the director of the bureau.
Of course, these were minor benefits; the network of connections he had built was invaluable.
"Are you trying to console me?" Suizi understood that he was coaxing her in various ways.
He was telling Suizi that the changes she brought to this world were all positive. She shouldn’t fixate on the matters of the past. Chen Tong wasn’t her responsibility, and in a sense, she was also a victim.
"I just want to tell you not to have such a strong sense of morality. You are good in every way, but when it comes to issues, you always reflect on yourself, when you should never be the one to do so."
Yu Jingting felt that his wife tended to be something of a perfectionist, strict with herself and lenient towards others. That wasn’t good and it made him feel very distressed.
"You should learn from mom. Look at her, with a plate of spicy lamb in her left hand and an ice cream in her right hand, looking completely content without a trace of responsibility—huh?"
Yu Jingting narrowed his eyes, his gaze piercing through the crowd and landing on the woman standing ten meters away.
Dressed in a green long dress, holding food in both hands, she was gobbling up without concern for her image—wasn’t that his mother-in-law, who usually held herself with such high esteem?
Chen Lijun also saw Suizi and her husband.
Her first reaction was to turn around guiltily, hesitant to let these two kids see her like this.
"What’s wrong?" Fan Huang, carrying food, came over to ask her.
Chen Lijun’s waist, previously bent from guilt, straightened up instantly.
Right, what was she feeling guilty about?
Fan Huang brought her here, and now she was legally entitled to indulge in meat!
"Nothing, Suizi and the others are here too," said Chen Lijun as she turned around. In front of Suizi, she slowly and deliberately took a big sip of juice. Hehe, let’s see what that nagging girl has to say—fresh juice with no additives!
"Dad! Eating too much and feeling full can still cause indigestion and an upset stomach~" Suizi cupped her hand to her mouth and called out.
Chen Lijun stiffened. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Fan Huang frowning at the potstickers in his hand, just as she expected.
"That’s what I want to eat!" Chen Lijun protested, worried he would drop them.
Fan Huang picked up one and fed her, then in a flash, he ducked his head and devoured the rest rapidly.
Chen Lijun: ???
Abiding by the principle of eating all of his daughter-in-law’s snacks so she would have none left, Fan Huang finished a box of potstickers then took the pure fresh milk ice cream that Chen Lijun had only had one bite of before she could fully savor it and polished it off in no time.
"Ah..." Chen Lijun clenched her teeth in frustration. She would have to deal with Suizi, this little girl, when she got home: even from a distance, she could stir up trouble.
"Run fast~" Suizi felt the piercing glare of disappointment from a foodie pregnant woman and dragged Yu Jingting into the crowd.
Away from mom and dad, they found a busy stall and queued up. Thinking of her mom’s expression and her dad wolfing down food with his head down made Suizi want to laugh.
"Why do I feel like my mom and I have switched roles? When I was little, she wouldn’t let me eat sweets and would follow me around just like that. Time flows like water, and in the blink of an eye..."
Suizi wanted to express her feelings about her mother accompanying her as she grew up while she accompanies her mother as she ages.
"Yeah, isn’t it just like water? Some people have a relationship with their parents like the water in the sky, while others have a relationship like a stinky ditch. Let it go and never look back."
Suizi was stunned and looked at him with her clear-cut eyes while Yu Jingting spread his hands.
"For instance, our dad and that demon from Black Mountain in his family, better to cut ties early and be at ease."
Suizi, of course, could tell he was speaking in double entendres, using the situation between his grandmother and his dad as a metaphor for her and Chen Tong.
"As for reincarnation, some kids are born to take revenge while others to repay kindness. It’s the same the other way around—the kind of parents you encounter is all down to luck in reincarnation. Look at our dad, he was born into the Fan Family, which is like winning at the starting line but also destined to live without motherly love."
Suizi chuckled suddenly, realizing it was indeed true.
Dad was born into the Fan Family, which meant he got a head start in life, but it also doomed him to a life without maternal affection.
"Our dad’s shrewdness is unmatched by ordinary people, but do you see him changing grandma? That’s because he knows you can’t change her. Some people are like that their entire life. Even if you move the King of Hell from the underworld to chant scriptures for her, you cannot purify her dirty soul. Look how open-minded our dad is, just deal with the old lady’s confusion and it’s all good."
Yu Jingting was comforting her while feeding her, and before she knew it, she had finished a box of Crispy Biscuits.
Seeing that she had a good appetite made Yu Jingting feel much more relieved.
"Why do I feel like you’re raising me with the mindset of a pig farmer?" Suizi joked, her face visibly upset if she ever missed a meal, as if worried she would lose weight.
"That’s different, I don’t raise pigs."
"!!!"
Suizi swung her fists at him, her face flushing red, and she looked around vigilantly, afraid that someone had overheard.
"Hahaha, did I make you laugh, ashamed?"
"..." Shame on your great-uncle!
Chen Lijun, well-fed and satisfied, saw from a distance Suizi punching Yu Jingting and her lips curled into a smile.
"I told you to relax, Jingting will take good care of her, so you don’t have to worry about her and not eat well." Fan Huang held her hand, smiling at her reassuringly.
Chen Lijun coughed dryly.
"It wasn’t because I was worried about her that I couldn’t eat well."
"Mm." Fan Huang did not expose her false pride.
Everyone in the family could tell that Suizi was preoccupied today, and Chen Lijun was anxious because she couldn’t talk properly with her daughter, which even affected her appetite. Now she could relax.
"She was only really cute when she was young, and now that she’s grown up, she doesn’t share her troubles with me."
Fan Huang originally wanted to say that she was acting like a child herself, getting angry at the slightest provocation, so how could the maiden confide in her?
Considering that speaking the truth might result in being kicked to the Study Room to sleep, he had to swallow his words.
"Mm, when we get back, I’ll have her chat with you for an hour every day, whether she likes it or not."
"That’s really not necessary."
Fan Huang was talking with Chen Lijun when a piercing voice suddenly came from behind.
"You’re indeed here!"
