Chapter 18 Buying Fruit for Little Sizi
"Hey bro, what's this?"
"This is...."
"Hey buddy, what's this mud?"
"This is..."
Lin Fan pushed the shopping cart, while Xiao Sizi stood inside, looking around. Whenever she saw something she didn't recognize, she would immediately turn around and ask Lin Fan, who would patiently explain it to her without getting annoyed.
Of course, during this process, the shopping cart was already quite full: "Want Want gift pack, rainbow candy, lollipops, Wahaha, sugar-free yogurt, whole wheat and pork floss bread..."
Besides food, he also bought a lot of daily necessities. Because he wasn't sure if Xiao Sizi would come again, Lin Fan didn't buy Sizi's share when he went out to buy things in the morning.
Before long, looking at the shopping cart that was almost half full, Lin Fan couldn't help but think that there could be happy moments when shopping at the supermarket. He remembered that when he used to go shopping with his mother, he would either play on his phone the whole time or carry big bags and small bags!
If Lin's mother saw this scene, she would think: "Indeed, people's joys and sorrows are not shared!"
After browsing for more than ten minutes, the two finally arrived at the fruit section. Xiao Sizi's eyes were almost dazzled by the variety of fruits on the shelves.
Seeing that the little ox suddenly stopped responding, Lin Fan curiously leaned over to check. He saw that the little ox was staring wide-eyed with its mouth open, and saliva was almost overflowing.
"Is it really that exaggerated?" Lin Fan scratched his head and thought to himself.
What Lin Fan didn't know was that although there were many kinds of fruits in the Tang Dynasty, due to the limitations of planting technology, the quality of the fruits produced was definitely far inferior to those of varieties improved by modern science.
"Wow! So many! These are the most I've ever seen!" After a while, Xiao Sizi, having recovered her senses, turned to look at Lin Fan, pointed to the fruit shelf next to her, and said.
"Haha, it's okay if you haven't tried it before. Some of the older brothers haven't tried it either. Let's all try it today, shall we?"
"Yay! This is great!" Little Sizi exclaimed, jumping up and down with both hands on the shopping cart.
"Watch out!" Because she was too excited while jumping around, Xiao Sizi almost fell headfirst out. Luckily, Lin Fan was quick-witted and grabbed her and pulled her back. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
"Stand still, little Sizi, don't jump around anymore, what if you fall!" Lin Fan said sternly to the little Sizi.
"Hehe!" Little Sizi responded to Lin Fan with a silly grin. Lin Fan couldn't bear to scold her anymore, seeing how cute she was.
The two then pushed their shopping cart around the fruit section. Lin Fan picked out a few thin-skinned small watermelons, a few dragon fruits, two bunches of seedless grapes, some lychees and strawberries, and finally stopped in front of the durian shelf.
Lin Fan stared at the durian in front of him, thinking to himself, "I wonder if Si Zi will like this stuff?"
Little Sizi also looked at it with curiosity, and even reached out to poke the sharp spikes on the surface of the durian.
"Brother, what's this?" Little Sizi glanced at the slightly red and chubby fingers, then turned to look at Lin Fan.
"Hmm, this is also a kind of fruit, but some people think it tastes good, while others think it tastes terrible! Sizi, would you like to try it?" Lin Fan asked tentatively, because he hadn't actually eaten this kind of fruit much, so he couldn't say he liked it or disliked it.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Sizi frowned, thought for a moment, then nodded, and said decisively, "It has to be seven!"
"Okay, I'll buy one then!" Lin Fan then began to carefully select one, but since he didn't know much about these things, he couldn't tell the difference between good and bad, and finally chose one based on the recommendation of the supermarket sales assistant.
Because the shopping cart was too full, Lin Fan had to pick up Xiao Sizi again. The two then went to the checkout counter, where the staff worked quickly and processed the payment in no time.
Pulling the shopping cart to the door, Lin Fan took out the stroller. First, he put Xiao Sizi in the cart, then carefully transferred the items from the shopping cart to the stroller. After tidying up, the stroller was completely full. "Luckily, this stroller is big enough!" Lin Fan thought to himself.
"Alright, Sisi, sit tight inside. We can go home now!" Lin Fan pulled down the sunshade on the car and gave Sisi a few instructions.
"Okay! Hold on tight!" Si Zi's cute voice immediately came from inside the car.
"Alright! Little princess, please be well, let's go!" Lin Fan imitated the tone of a eunuch in a TV series, making the little girl in the stroller laugh heartily.
Because there were many things in the car, Lin Fan pushed it very smoothly. However, the supermarket was very close to home, and they arrived at the entrance of the community in just a few minutes. At this time, Xiao Sizi was in the car studying a small electric fan.
As soon as he entered the residential area, from a distance, Lin Fan saw the old man who had asked him about the jade pendant before was chatting with someone else with his back to him. He subconsciously quickened his pace, afraid that the old man would continue to bother him.
"Hey, Old Wang, that kid who just walked by seemed to be Old Lin's son. Why was he pushing a stroller? Is he married? I've never heard anyone mention it!" The old man who was chatting with Old Wang nodded in agreement.
"What about it?" Old Wang turned around immediately upon hearing this, but Lin Fan had already entered the building's stairwell, leaving him with nothing.
Old Wang shook his head, regaining his senses: "Are you getting old and your eyesight is failing? The Lin family lad hasn't even been in a relationship yet, where would a child come from? You're probably mistaken!"
The old man opposite him curled his lip upon hearing this, thinking to himself, "This old Wang, I'm three years younger than you, how dare you call me old? Don't you even look at your wrinkled face!"
"Maybe I misread it. Okay, I'll talk to you later. I have to go home and take care of my grandson. See you later!" The old man turned and left without giving Old Wang a chance to speak.
Seeing the old man walk away, Old Wang turned around and spat: "Pah, what a piece of trash? You think you're the only one with a grandson?"
"Old Wang is spitting on the ground again! Fifty yuan fine!" The voice that suddenly came from behind startled Old Wang.
"Damn it! Who is it? Oh, it's Sister Liu. Have you eaten yet?" Old Wang turned around, about to get angry, but when he saw her, his anger immediately subsided. Standing opposite him was the director of the community's civilization office, a woman with a fiery personality who was extremely difficult to deal with!
"Who's your little sister? Don't try to get close to me. It's a fifty-yuan fine! Stop dawdling and pay up!" Director Liu said, hands on his hips, his words utterly ruthless.
Seeing this, Old Wang naturally didn't want to pay the fine. His eyes darted around, and he raised his hand in greeting, "Oh, Director Zhang, you've arrived!"
The director surnamed Liu quickly turned around, only to find no one behind him. Realizing he'd been tricked, he turned back again to find Old Wang already far ahead: "Hey, you old bastard, trying to run? I'm the fifty-year-old sunset group sprint champion! You stop right there...!"
Lin Fan was unaware of what was happening downstairs. He had already returned upstairs and was efficiently moving things. Xiao Sizi wanted to help but was refused, so she stood aside cheering him on.
After working for a while, the things were finally sorted out. Just as Lin Fan was feeling parched, he saw Xiao Sizi run up to him, holding a pack of Wahaha drinks high in the air.
"Drink the mud from every pot!"
"Little Sizi, be good! This was bought especially for you, brother won't drink it!" Lin Fan patted Little Sizi's head, feeling incredibly gratified.
"No, no, let the pot drink!" Little Sizi was unhappy when he saw this, and he didn't put down his raised hand for a long time.
Seeing Xiao Sizi's anxious look, Lin Fan stopped refusing: "Okay, then I'll benefit from Xiao Sizi's good fortune today." After saying that, he took the Wahaha from Xiao Sizi's hand, quickly opened the packaging, took out the straw inside, inserted it into the bottle opening, handed one bottle to Xiao Sizi, and then took one for himself.
"Come on, let's have a drink to welcome Xiao Sizi!" Lin Fan picked up the Wahaha drink in his hand, held it up in front of Xiao Sizi, and said with a smile.
"Mmm~ Dried scallops!" Little Si patted his little belly, looking incredibly proud, and quickly raised the bottle in his hand to clink with Lin Fan's.
At this moment, the bond between the two deepened.
