Chapter 85 The King of Bamboo Shoots, King of Kings
Upon hearing the fat constable's words, the chubby girl's face turned even redder, like a ripe shrimp.
Enraged, she grabbed a kitchen knife, intending to cut him in two on the spot.
"Fatty, come here quickly!" Just at this critical moment, Jiang's voice successfully pulled the furious Fatty back to her senses.
The chubby girl immediately changed her expression, flashing a sweet smile.
She glanced at the fat constable, slammed the cleaver into the cutting board with a clang, turned and ran towards Jiang Shi, sat on her special little stool, and ate the delicious dumplings that Jiang Shi had placed in front of her.
The fat constable was so dazzled by the fat girl's smile that he stood there dumbfounded for a long time, unable to come to his senses.
When he finally realized what had happened, his face turned pale and then red, and he felt both ashamed and angry.
"Hey Fatty, your things are packed up. And don't mess with our Fatty Girl."
Lin Xi's voice broke the awkward and tense atmosphere.
He handed the item to the fat constable, giving him a warning look as he did so.
This fat constable is like a masochist; not only is he incompetent, but he also has a foul mouth...
The fat constable snorted coldly, took the package Lin Xi handed him, and muttered with dissatisfaction, "Hmph, I don't even want to mess with her!"
That's what he said, but his eyes kept glancing towards the chubby girl.
Just as he picked up his things and was about to look away, he caught a glimpse of two familiar figures standing quietly beside him.
"Father, Mother?" The fat constable stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.
Even though it was just their backs, how could their own parents not recognize them? Besides, weren't they wearing the same clothes they were wearing this morning? These were definitely his parents.
Upon hearing this shout, Pang Dahai and Zhen Xiaoxi knew something was wrong.
Seeing that they had been exposed, the two could only turn around and give the fat constable an awkward smile.
Zhen Xiaoxi looked at her son, "What a coincidence! Son, you're here too?!"
Pang Dahai quickly explained, "We were just out for a stroll, and when we passed by, we smelled the fragrance and decided to come and take a look."
Zhen Xiaoxi quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, that's exactly it."
When the fat constable saw that his parents had come empty-handed and hadn't bought any food, he felt a pang of sadness.
They must have been attracted by the aroma when they came out, but they couldn't bear to spend money to buy some food, so they just looked at it.
His heart was instantly filled with guilt, and his eyes reddened slightly.
In an instant, he cursed Qin Shen Shen's ancestors for eighteen generations in his mind. It was all Qin Shen Shen's fault for withholding his wages last month. Otherwise, his parents wouldn't be more frugal than before, unwilling to buy food that cost only a few coins.
"Dad, Mom, there's food here, please have some first."
His voice was somewhat hoarse, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor.
This is that bastard Qin Shen Shen's. It's not unreasonable for him to charge interest on his wages, is it? He's thick-skinned and tough; at worst, he'll get a scolding.
Pang Dahai and Zhen Xiaoxi were taken aback; they hadn't expected their son to give them the food.
Pang Dahai and Zhen Xiaoxi felt both touched and heartbroken as they looked at the food their son handed them.
Since their son started working away from home, he has only reported good news and never bad news when he comes back.
But they knew that no matter where you work, you're bound to suffer some mistreatment; he just chose not to tell them.
The two of them didn't interfere too much in order to temper Pang You's selfish and spoiled nature, which he had raised as a "young master," because this was the price to pay for growing up.
They never expected their son to be so sensible; they were overjoyed.
Zhen Xiaoxi held her son's hand: "Son, this is what you bought for someone else. We can't eat it. You should take it back quickly. Don't offend anyone because of us. Go back to your work and don't delay things."
Although they were very pleased, they never deprived themselves of food and drink. They just hoped their eldest son would leave soon, otherwise they wouldn't get to eat today!
So the two of them quickly shoved the fat constable, telling him to go back to where he came from!
The fat constable had no choice but to turn back every few steps, and with his parents beckoning him, he took the food and went back to the yamen.
They only breathed a sigh of relief when they could no longer see him.
This scene almost moved Gao Mengli and Lin Xi, who were standing nearby, to tears.
"Boss, give us two orders of dumplings, two egg pancakes, four chive dumplings, and two elm seed steamed buns!"
Pang Dahai hurriedly turned around and started talking to Gao Mengli and Lin Xi about their meal.
Gao Mengli and Lin Xi were stunned for a moment.
Hmm? Something's up!
Seeing that the two didn't move, Pang Dahai misunderstood that the owner thought they hadn't queued up, so he immediately pointed to the first person in front of the stall and said, "We've queued up, we're in front of him, aren't we, brother!"
The "brother" being pointed at looked completely bewildered, as if I knew nothing about it.
He had no idea who was in front of him in line; his attention was entirely focused on the stalls. He didn't know, didn't see, and was completely unaware.
Pang Dahai was so anxious that he stomped his feet when he saw that the man did not respond.
Zhen Xiaoxi immediately took out 10 copper coins from her pocket and gave them to the "brother," saying, "Say something, will you?"
The man's eyes lit up immediately. He took the coin from Zhen Xiaoxi's hand and smiled slightly. "They were indeed ahead of me in line. I was just distracted for a moment!"
Gao Mengli and Lin Xi exchanged a glance, sending electric signals through their eyes.
Gao Mengli: Aren't these two poor?
Lin Xi: He shouldn't be poor; he might even be a tycoon.
Pang Dahai breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing his "brother's" words, and looked at the two of them with a bright smile. "Oh, right, add two more egg pancakes and give them to that chubby girl next to us, as an apology to her for our son's rudeness!"
Gao Mengli looked at them with a half-smile, "Okay! I'll prepare it for you right away!"
Upon hearing that there were two more pancakes, the chubby girl was delighted and couldn't help but take another curious look at the two of them.
He glanced at it, frowned, and looked away.
The two men moved with light, graceful steps, seemingly casual yet exuding an extraordinary air, and the calluses on their hands and backs, revealed when they paid earlier, further accentuated their demeanor…
They are experts...
"Young lady, this is just a small token of our appreciation. My rascal son has caused you so much trouble."
Pang Dahai, all smiles, handed the egg pancake to the chubby girl.
The chubby girl stood up, looked at Pang Dahai, then at the egg pancake, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out to take it.
"It's okay, I'm used to it!" she said, not forgetting to return a sweet smile.
When the chubby girl said that, Zhen Xiaoxi felt heartbroken.
This girl must have suffered so much from her son's temper, and she says she's used to it. She's such a pitiful child.
She took a bite of the locust flower and egg pancake in her hand, and her taste buds were instantly awakened. It really exceeded her expectations. It was so delicious!
The sweetness of the locust blossoms and the fresh aroma of the eggs blend together in the mouth, while the crust is crispy and delicious.
She decided that she would come every day from now on, and bring other delicious food for the chubby girl as well. Her gaze toward the chubby girl became more and more loving.
Seeing that the three of them got along well, Gao Mengli and Lin Xi couldn't understand why these two could have given birth to that "bad bamboo shoot" of a fat constable!
They've completely forgotten that the two of them were the real villains.
It is the king of bad bamboo shoots, the king of kings!
