Chapter 99 Second Uncle
When Su Mulan came out of the kitchen carrying all the fried cat ears, four carrot heads suddenly surrounded him.
“Mom, please try it, these cat ears are so delicious.” Bai Zhuye stuffed the cat ears into Su Mulan’s mouth.
Chewing the sappanth blue, the crispy and fragrant taste suddenly spread in your mouth.
"good."
Very successful!
Su Mulan narrowed her eyes, and even raised her eyebrows out of complacency, "It seems that if we go to the market tomorrow, our business will be even better."
affim!
The four carrot heads nodded excitedly.

“Grandpa, you eat.” Seven-year-old Wu Henian took the millet rice dumpling in his hand and gave it to Wu Tianfu.
“You can eat it, grandpa won’t eat it.” Wu Tianfu looked at his sensible grandson and reached out to touch his little head, “Where are the dried sweet potatoes I just gave you, have you finished eating them?”
"My sister likes to eat, so I gave it to her. Grandpa is tired. I'll help him turn the millstone." Wu Henian put down the food in his hands and went to turn the stone mill.
"How old are you? You can't push it." Wu Tianfu laughed, "Go and play with Qiaoyun. When grandpa is finished, he will make meatball soup for you and Qiaoyun in the evening."
“By chance, I’ll beg for a bowl to drink too.”
There was a sound. Wu Tianfu looked up and saw Wu Zhuoyuan entering the courtyard. He wiped his sweat with the towel around his neck and said, "Why are you here at this hour?"
“I came here to do some errands, so I came to see my second uncle on the way.” Wu Zhuoyuan reached out and touched the little heads of Wu Henian and Wu Qiaoyun in front of him, “Bring some snacks for the children too.”
As he spoke, Wu Zhuoyuan untied the sturdy oil paper package he had brought, took out the mung bean cake inside, and handed it to the two children, "Take it and eat it quickly."
“Thank you, uncle.” Wu Henian and Wu Qiaoyun said their thanks obediently, each took a piece of mung bean cake and went to play under the pomegranate tree in the yard.
"I don't think you have anything to do. You're just here to take a look. You're just on a special trip." Wu Tianfu made a pot of tea, poured a cup and handed it to Wu Zhuoyuan.
Wu Zhuoyuan was aware of Wu Tianfu's little thoughts. He took the tea cup and smiled, "I don't think I have seen my second uncle and the children during this period, so I came over to have a look."
"I know." Wu Tianfu snorted, "This time you're just here. I won't say anything to you. It's better not to run back and forth in the future, you know? I really don't know what you do as a shopkeeper. , If you don’t guard the stall all day long, you’ll just run around.”
Wu Zhuoyuan smiled again, but his smile was a little forced.
Wu Tianfu was scolding him on the surface, but in fact he just wanted to use this method to prevent him from coming twice.
This second uncle of my family has been very close to him since he was a child. When he was a child, the mother-in-law of the family was ill for many years, and his father was a hawker who traveled around the streets selling things. He could not even get a hot meal at home, so he relied on him for everything. His second uncle and second aunt look after him every day.
Wu Zhuoyuan has also thought since he was a child that when he grows up and can make money, he will definitely honor his second uncle and second aunt.
But now that he has grown up, he has lost a lot of money in business and his family is very poor, so he has to marry into someone else's family and become a son-in-law. He is the owner of a shop. His business is not bad, but the money he earns is not Don’t spend it arbitrarily.
I checked a lot of information and found out that due to ancient regional issues, fathers would be called "grandfather" in many places. For example, in Mulan Ci, there is a sentence that says "grandfather has no eldest son." , grandpa is collectively called grandpa, although it seems a bit formal... I hope everyone knows
