In the event that he was unable to protect Gu Zi in a timely manner due to unforeseen circumstances, Lin Cheng and the Lin family would be there to support her. This reassurance eased his worries, knowing that she would not be left to struggle alone.

Saying this, Su Shen handed over the lunch boxes to Jin Long and Lin Cheng,

“This is the breakfast Gu Zi asked me to bring for you.”

With that, he strode out of the pig farm and drove away. The entire process took no more than thirty seconds, executed with remarkable efficiency.

Lin Cheng was momentarily stunned, clutching the lunch box as he asked Jin Long, “Isn’t he supposed to go directly to the city today?”

Jin Long’s eyes sparkled as he stared at the lunch box, unable to wait another second. He opened the box to reveal a golden, fragrant hand-held pancake, which he bit into with a satisfied sigh.

“Ah, Gu Zi is the best,” he said contentedly. “She sends us food and even gets the boss to deliver it!”

A nearby man, noticing the pancake in Jin Long’s hand, licked his lips and approached, “What are you eating, Brother Jin Long? Can I have a bite? I haven’t had breakfast yet.”

However, Jin Long was too engrossed in his food to pay attention to anyone else.

He took another large bite of the pancake while backing away from the man trying to snatch his food. The bright red tomato sauce smeared on the corner of his mouth was especially tempting, making his refusal seem particularly cruel.

“Oh, you haven’t had breakfast yet? What’s your wife doing? I don’t even have a wife, and you’re trying to steal my breakfast. No, no.”

With that, Jin Long walked away quickly with his lunch box, leaving the man to turn his attention to Lin Cheng.

Lin Cheng was easygoing, and the man was sure he could persuade him to share his food.

“Brother Lin, can I have a bite of your pancake? I’m so hungry, my stomach is touching my back.”

Lin Cheng didn’t run away. He glanced at the lunch box and then at the man, who quickly smiled ingratiatingly, thinking he was about to taste something delicious. However, Lin Cheng carefully hugged the lunch box to his chest, leaving the man feeling empty.

With a blush on his face, Lin Cheng said, “This pancake is specially made by my sister for me. If you’re hungry, you can ask the gatekeeper for a pancake. He just offered me one, but I turned it down. You can have it.”

After saying this, Lin Cheng even took the man to ask for a pancake. He was so sincere that the man couldn’t refuse.

When the man received a large pancake from the gatekeeper, his mouth twitched slightly. Where was the easygoing Lin Cheng he knew? This tactic didn’t work at all!

Meanwhile, Gu Zi had dressed the three children neatly and they had boarded a bus to the city.

Gu Zi planned to visit Xinghua Department Store to buy a belt for Su Shen and a few basic foreign language books. She wanted to explore the children’s language abilities when she had time.

On the bus, she asked her two sons, “Is there anything you want to buy?”

Su Bing shook his head. Their mother had prepared everything they needed to eat, drink, and use. He didn’t think there was anything else they needed to buy.

Gu Zi then turned to Su Li, who thought for a moment before saying, “Mom, can we buy a piggy bank? Last night, I wanted to save the red envelope money that Uncle gave me and Lele, but I couldn’t find a place to put it.”

If they had a piggy bank, he could start saving his pocket money. Of course, he would keep his and Lele’s money separate to avoid confusion.

Gu Zi finally understood. Su Li genuinely wanted to help Lele save money, not embezzle it.

She agreed, “Okay, we’ll go to Xinghua later and buy a piggy bank for each of you!”

Upon hearing this, Su Li was excited, “Is it the biggest department store in the city? Great!”

Many of Su Li’s classmates had been to Xinghua for shopping. Regardless of how much they bought, it was always impressive to mention it. Now he could also have his moment of glory!

The mother and her three children walked briskly into Xinghua Department Store. They first visited a leather goods store and selected two elegant and stylish men’s belts. Then they moved on to the bookstore and bought a few basic foreign language books.

Su Li curiously asked, “Mom, isn’t this what we’re supposed to learn in junior high?”

Su Bing, who was holding Su Le at the moment, also looked over. He knew it was a foreign language book, but he hadn’t learned any foreign languages yet and didn’t recognize the words.

Instead of answering, Gu Zi asked, “Do you want to learn what the junior high students are learning?”

Su Li nodded vigorously, “Of course!”

Su Bing also asked expectantly, “Can we learn it?”

Seeing the intense desire for knowledge in their eyes, Gu Zi agreed, “Yes, I’ll teach you foreign languages in the future..”
