Chapter 247 The Breakfast Shop Owner and the Man He Picked Up (21)
The Breakfast Shop Owner and the Man He Picked Up (Twenty-One)
The bell rang and students filed out as usual.
The difference is that almost everyone is accompanied by a parent. Some are glaring at their children with an angry look on their faces, some are patting their babies on the head with smiles on their faces, and some are silent and seem like they were adopted children rather than their biological children.
Among them, there were two tall figures standing very close to each other. The tall man in a long windbreaker was handsome but had a stern face. He was talking to the person next to him with his head slightly lowered. The person next to him was wearing a white T-shirt and school uniform. He had a gentle temperament like jade and a smile on his face that could not be hidden. He was talking to him.
“How does it feel to be a parent?”
Song Ning teased, "What a pity, why don't they suspect that you are taking good care of yourself."
"Looking younger and looking younger are two different things."
Lance glanced at the crowded crowd, raised his head, half-huggled Song Ning's shoulders and held him in his arms.
Song Ning did not refute, this is true.
He just has a bit of bad taste.
There were so many people at this time that it was difficult to move, but Song Ning was well protected and not squeezed at all.
Following the crowd out of the school gate, Lance breathed a sigh of relief, a rare feeling.
He looked down at the person in his arms and asked, "Do you still have classes this afternoon?"
There was a parents' meeting today and he seemed to remember that he would have a day off in the afternoon?
"Need not."
After Song Ning finished speaking, he suddenly laughed softly.
"I just found out today that our school will deliberately give half a day off in the afternoon. I heard that this is a rule set by the former principal, saying that after the parent-teacher conference, parents should be given time to go home and have a good chat with their children."
He covered his mouth and whispered a little, "But I don't think it's communication, it's communication in the physical sense."
Lance understood what he meant immediately.
“Some students really need it.”
For example, today, class teacher Hu Xiong mentioned Xiaopang several times. The parent who came to see Xiaopang was his father, not his mother. After hearing what the class teacher said, his father's face turned blue, then purple, and then blue again. Probably, there will be some earth-shattering screams in this family this afternoon.
After he said that, he rubbed the top of Song Ning's head again.
"After all, not all students are as good and outstanding as our Ningning. Today, the head teacher praised me so much that I almost couldn't hold back my smile. I was afraid of being besieged by other parents."
After all, even if other students were praised, it was only for two or three minutes, but Song Ning was praised by Teacher Hu for almost ten minutes. During that time, Teacher Hu even took out a homework written by Song Ning and read it out. It can be said that the hatred value was full.
But I have to say it feels really good.
Lance couldn't hide the pride in his eyes.
"You said that if the teacher praises you, then just praise him. Why are you still supporting him from below?"
Song Ning blushed when he mentioned this.
Other children would be humble when their parents were praised, but this one was the only one who nodded occasionally after hearing Teacher Hu praising him.
You don't even know how to be humble, it's easy for people to frame you like that!
"I can't help it. I think what the teacher said is the truth. I can't just shake my head and deny it, right?"
Lance didn't give Song Ning a chance to continue struggling and changed the subject.
"Do you want to go eat hot pot tonight? The owner of the hot pot restaurant came over yesterday and gave me a coupon, saying that since the weather is getting colder, they are having a promotion and that the coupon can give you 20% off when you pay with it."
"Is it the Chaoshan beef hotpot restaurant?"
Song Ning's eyes lit up when he heard the word 20% off.
"Yeah, that's the one you like best."
Lance took out a big red coupon from his thin windbreaker, with the words "Chaoshan Beef Hotpot City" clearly visible in large letters.
"I want to go! Why don't we go at noon? We can eat more and then we don't have to eat dinner."
Song Ning is very careful with his money.
Lance had no objection, but still felt a little helpless.
"I have already received the money from last month. I should be able to earn around 30,000 this month. Ningning doesn't need to be so frugal."
It was just a meal, it wasn't like he couldn't afford to feed his little prince.
Song Ning glared at him.
"Even if your income is high, you still need to save what you need to save. There will only be more places to spend money, not less."
He knew this very well.
If his family had had a little more money, he wouldn't have had to drop out of school.
"Okay, I'll listen to Ningning."
Lance raised his hands in surrender, and suggested considerately that it would be better to walk home so that he could be a little hungry and get some exercise at the same time.
Song Ning did not object, and the two of them walked side by side through the crowd of parents and students who were leaving school and walked on the road in the old city.
The old city seems a bit small compared to the new city which is full of big shopping malls. There are tall trees planted on both sides of the road, and the leaves have turned yellow as autumn begins.
A breeze blew gently under the shade of the trees, and the fallen leaves floated to their feet, with yellow green leaves, white shoes, and gray footprints.
Song Ning's mood inexplicably improved. He turned his head to look at Lance beside him, and his mood became even better.
It’s great that he is still in school and his family has parent-teacher conferences for him.
They will go out to eat delicious hotpot together later. Is there anything happier in the world than this?
There should be no more.
Lance was also very happy. He was happy to see Song Ning so relaxed and happy.
The two of them chatted briefly about some daily life and walked slowly to the hot pot restaurant. Naturally, they didn't know that someone had come to the restaurant to look for Song Ning.
"What? Song Ning is not doing it anymore?"
The people who came to work were anxious. They had to do the work to get paid this time. How could Song Ning not be here!
The person he caught was Xiao Yang, a full-time employee hired by the store last month. She was not good-looking but was thoughtful and was deliberately trained by Lance to take over his job.
As soon as I saw this man's expression, all my enthusiasm was gone in an instant.
Xiao Yang looked the person in front of him up and down and suddenly became alert.
At first glance, this man seemed to be a decent person and his attitude was sincere, but now that she looked at him carefully, she found that he seemed to have not taken a shower for several days. His clothes were wrinkled and his body smelled of motor oil.
If you look closely, he doesn't look like a good person. Why is he asking about their boss?
Although Xiao Yang was recruited by Lance, he has a good impression of Song Ning.
Because it was because Song Ning saw her attentiveness and said something to Lance that Lance started to use her.
Xiao Yang is a smart person and naturally knows that it is a good thing for her that Lance values her, so she is very grateful to Song Ning in her heart.
Besides, Song Ning looked very protective, so she started to speak carefully.
This person wanted to ask for more information. Xiao Yang felt something was wrong, so he said some unimportant information while pretending to work, but in fact he was quickly sending messages to Lance.
When she heard the other party start asking about Lance, her vigilance was raised to the extreme.
Could this person be some criminal?
Boss Lance, please come back soon. I can’t handle it alone!
