Chapter 22 People can't be too greedy in this life
Because he didn't feel well after drinking the night before, Quan Huachen canceled the morning run the next day and slept half an hour more in the morning. When the phone rang, he thought it was an alarm clock, so he almost turned it off, until he caught a glimpse of it in the haze. "Kang Zhuo" two words.
"Hello?" Quan Huachen answered the phone, he had not fully woken up, his throat was dry and astringent.
Kang Zhuo's worried voice came from the receiver: "Uncle, are you okay? Are you feeling sick? Did I wake you up?"
Quan Huachen cleared his throat and forced himself to sit up from the bed. He glanced at the time: "No, I'm already up. Call me at this time, what's the matter?"
"Have you just woken up? Haven't you eaten yet? Auntie Zhu has made breakfast. There are porridge and steamed buns. I'll bring you some."
Quan Huachen wanted to say no, he hadn't washed up yet, and he didn't want to show Kang Zhuo what he looked like, but Kang Zhuo's next sentence was: "I was so tired yesterday, why don't you sleep a little longer, I'll put breakfast Just leave in the living room, and you can eat when you wake up."
Quan Huachen immediately said, "Give me ten minutes, and you will come here in ten minutes."
Eight minutes later, Quan Huachen came downstairs neatly and went to the kitchen to pour water.
Not long after, the doorbell rang, Quan Huachen went to the entrance to open the door, and saw Kang Zhuo standing in the morning light with a set of insulated food boxes, his whole person was glowing.
"Don't you know the password? Why don't you come in by yourself?" Quan Huachen asked him with a smile.
"It's rude." Kang Zhuo said while looking at Quan Huachen's face, and he was relieved when he saw that he didn't feel uncomfortable after a hangover.
"Okay, little manners, you come in and find shoes to wear, and I'll add dog food to the dog."
Kang Zhuo then found the slippers from the shoe rack by himself, changed his shoes, went into the house, and took out the breakfast from the food box one by one and placed it on the dining table.
When Quan Huachen waited so lazy to go to the restaurant, he saw such a scene.
There was a sumptuous breakfast on the table, and Kang Zhuo didn't even leave. He was sitting across from the table, not playing with his mobile phone, so he sat obediently and waited for Quan Huachen to eat together.
Quan Huachen was stunned for a moment, he felt that he had seen this scene somewhere, it couldn't be in reality, it should be in a dream, was it a dream from last night? Or a dream from the night before?
"I just haven't eaten yet, so I wanted to eat with my uncle." Kang Zhuo laughed, and the small mole on his face vividly adorned this smile, which was very cute.
Quan Huachen had an uncontrollable sadness at this time, but he would not tell Kang Zhuo to see it.
He naturally sits across from Kang-joo and kindly asks what his plans are for the day.
Quan Huachen felt that he behaved very well, very "elderly", until he heard Yin Dongfan's name again.
"Professor Liu gave our laboratory a day off. It's Dongfan's birthday on the weekend, and I'm going to pick a gift for him in the morning. He will come to my house for dinner at noon, and then we'll play for an afternoon."
Quan Huachen stuffed the buns into his mouth indifferently: "What do you want to give him?"
Kang Zhuo said: "The watch, he said he wanted to change the watch. I also bought him the watch last time, but luckily I didn't give it away. The watch is too cheap, and he may not like it."
Quan Huachen frowned: "How much does he like a watch?"
On the day he invited Yin Dongfan's friends to dinner, Kang Zhuo heard their conversation, so he had an estimate in his heart, and he stretched out a number to Quan Huachen.
Quan Huachen almost choked on the steamed bun: "How much? How much does he cost so much for a watch?"
Kang Zhuo nodded with difficulty: "Yes."
Quan Huachen pressed his chopsticks on the table with a "snap": "This little bastard doesn't make a penny by himself, and he has a lot of ability to waste money. You are not allowed to buy him such an expensive watch. Buy him a plastic one from a street stall, love it or not, he's used to it."
Kang Zhuo was embarrassed: "That won't work, that's too insincere."
"Then you buy him that."
"Which one?"
"It's the one that's often used in TV commercials."
Kang Zhuo thought that Quan Huachen was going to give him advice. After all, Quan Huachen seemed to know a lot about watches. He definitely knew what kind of watch Yin Dongfan should bring, so he took out his mobile phone and prepared to take notes.
At this moment, Quan Huachen picked up the chopsticks, took a piece of mustard and threw it into his mouth, and said unhurriedly, "It's called... I remember it being called, 'Children's Genius Watch'?"
Kang Zhuo was stunned for a moment and laughed, so happy that tears came out: "It's a 'Little Genius Children's Watch'! What are you talking about, uncle?"
Quan Huachen looked at his smile and didn't feel sad anymore.
People can't be too greedy in this life. Quan Huachen should be content to see such a smile occasionally. Since he has endured for one or four years, he can endure another four years, two four years... ten four years.
But if possible, Quan Huachen still hoped that he would not live so long, die earlier, not so early, preferably after Zhou Yuan and Lanlan left.
At that time, everything that should be obtained has been obtained, and what cannot be obtained will be difficult to obtain in the future. There is nothing to look forward to in life, only regret and regret, and a dry and painful body that can die.
Until the end of breakfast, Quan Huachen failed to convince Kang Zhuo to buy Yin Dongfan a 20 yuan watch. He was afraid that Kang Zhuo would waste his living expenses, so he persuaded him to go to the mall today to see the styles and come back later. Tell Quan Huachen, Quan Huachen asked him to buy it from a friend at a friendly price.
Kang Zhuo agreed, packed the food box and left quickly.
Yin Dongfan didn't get up at noon, and didn't arrive at Kang Zhuo's house until almost three o'clock in the afternoon. They played games for a while, and they cooperated very well. Yin Dongfan was very happy, but he didn't know that this was the result of Kang Zhuo's practice all afternoon.
During dinner, Yin Dongfan told Kang Zhuo about his birthday banquet on the weekend. This is Yin Dongfan's adult banquet, and Quan Xiao plans to hold a big one.
At noon, a small luncheon was held at home, mainly to invite Yin Dongfan's friends to come to the house and make trouble for the children. After the trouble was enough, set aside time for the evening to attend the main banquet.
The main banquet was held in the largest hotel in the city center. Many business and political celebrities were invited, and even Yin Dongfan's favorite idol singer was invited to perform. Of course, these forms are secondary. Quan Xiao wants to bring Yin Dongfan out and let Yin Dongfan get to know people in the circle.
After Quan Qiming's death, Quanhe was Quan Xiao who made up his mind. Her son Yin Dongfan was Quanhe's "Prince". Sooner or later, Yin Dongfan would take over Quan Xiao's position, and he had to meet the world.
Yin Dongfan and Kang Zhuo complained that that night must be boring, Kang Zhuo comforted him and said, "Isn't there me to accompany you, and when we return from the banquet, I have a gift for you."
Yin Dongfan immediately jumped up: "what gift? What gift? Reveal it in advance?"
Kang Zhuo didn't look at him: "I won't be surprised if you say it, it must be what you want anyway."
Yin Dongfan's heart beat fast, he stared straight at Kang Zhuo, his Adam's apple moved up and down, and asked, "Is it the one I thought?"
Kang Zhuo didn't really know what "that" was in Yin Dongfan's mouth, but Kang Zhuo felt that no matter what Yin Dongfan wanted, he could give it on that day, so he looked back at Yin Dongfan seriously and nodded.
"Wow!!!" Yin Dongfan cheered and threw his chopsticks to the ceiling.
Kang Zhuo reluctantly went to the kitchen to change the pair of chopsticks for Yin Dongfan again. When he came back, he was picked up by Yin Dongfan from halfway and turned around, so scared that he lost the chopsticks again.
"Dongfan! Let me down!"
"Don't let it go! Wife I love you!"
Kang Zhuo blushed with shame, but in the dizzying spin, he was already looking forward to that day.
