He rubbed his head on their thighs and said exaggeratedly, “I miss you guys so much. I can’t sleep at the thought of it. I’ve lost weight…”
Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng stared at Fang Zikai carefully. Forgive their poor eyesight, but they really could not tell where Fang Zikai had lost weight.
At this moment, Fang Zicheng walked over.
“Welcome home. Dad, Mom.”
Unlike Fang Zikai’s bold style of doing things, Fang Zicheng was very reserved when he hugged his parents. He hugged Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng separately and stood quietly at the side, watching Fang Zikai walk around the extra luggage.

Fang Yusheng carried his luggage into the house and placed all his luggage in the hall. When he saw Chi Baoguang squeezing orange juice in the kitchen, he said a few words to him. Chi Baoguang told them that during the few days they were away, Fang Taoran was very easy to take care of. She was always very obedient and did not fall sick or catch a cold.
Qiao Jiusheng asked Chi Baoguang, “Is Ran Ran sleeping with Grandma? Why don’t I see her?”
“Yes, Lisa is sleeping with Ran Ran. It’s almost nine o’clock now. Ran Ran has slept for a while.”
“Then we’ll visit them later.”
After ending the conversation with Chi Baoguang, Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng returned to the hall. Fang Zikai placed his hands behind his back and stood in front of Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng. He raised his face and asked them with a smile, “Mom, what gift did you bring back for us when you went overseas this time?”
Qiao Jiusheng knew that Fang Zikai would ask this.
“It’s in this bag.” She pointed to the handbag.
“I knew it would be here.” Fang Zikai muttered something and ran to rummage through his luggage. Fang Zicheng was not curious about this. He looked at the television obediently and suddenly heard Fang Zikai exclaim, “Oh my G.o.d, what is this? Fish?”
Fang Zikai raised the dried sea fish in his hand and opened his mouth wide. “Dad, is this the gift you brought back for us this time?” No toys? No snacks? No other daily necessities?
Fang Zikai suspected that his parents had made a mistake.
Fang Yusheng nodded solemnly. “That’s right.”
Upon hearing this, Fang Zikai was like a deflated ball. He threw the fish back into the luggage and walked angrily to Fang Zicheng’s side to sit down. The little fellow hugged his chest and his mouth rose high. He was especially unhappy.
“What kind of gift is dried fish? Do you treat us like cats? Buying chocolate is better than bringing dried fish.” Fang Zikai was like a punching bag as he muttered a long string of unhappy words.
Fang Zicheng waited for him to finish before saying, “Let’s go.”
“What?”
“I’ll bring you out to buy food. Are you coming?”
Fang Zicheng turned off the television and looked at his brother with pity. What a pitiful little fellow. He could still throw a tantrum. Fang Zicheng could not understand Fang Zikai and did not understand what there was to be angry about.
Fang Zikai was stunned for a moment before he was overjoyed.
“Really, Brother?”
“You’re not going?” Fang Zicheng frowned. If Fang Zikai was unwilling to go, he would not go.
Fang Zikai quickly stood up and said, “Let’s go, quickly!”
Fang Zicheng said to Qiao Jiusheng and the rest, “Mom, I’m going out with my brother. I’ll be back soon.”
“Where are you going!”
Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng were eating. They had not eaten enough on the plane, so Aunt Jin made dinner for them. Fang Yusheng looked at his two sons disapprovingly and said, “It’s cold at night. It’s getting late. Do it tomorrow.”
Fang Zikai said, “There’s something urgent. We’ll be back immediately!”
Seeing that they were determined to go out, Chi Baoguang said, “I’ll accompany you.”
“Can’t you let us go ourselves?” With the adults accompanying him, Fang Zikai felt unhappy. Why were the adults always worried about them?
“No.” No one dared to refute Chi Baoguang’s decision.
“Alright.” Fang Zikai agreed to let his grandfather accompany him.
Chi Baoguang drove them out of the district. There was a big supermarket outside the district. Chi Baoguang parked the car at the entrance of the supermarket and brought his two grandchildren into the supermarket. Fang Zicheng said to Fang Zikai, “I only have 102 yuan in pocket money. Buy whatever you want.”
Fang Zicheng had a monthly living allowance of 1,000 yuan. To ordinary four or five-year-old children, they would definitely be rich if they had a fixed pocket money of 1,000 yuan a month. However, for families like Fang Zicheng’s, 1,000 yuan a month was actually very little.
Fang Zicheng used his pocket money to buy two scarves this month and gave them to his grandparents as a Christmas gift. Hence, he only had this hundred yuan left. Fang Zikai had spent all his pocket money half a month ago.
“Oh yeah! Then I want to buy potato chips, Mimi snacks, lollipops, and…”
“You can’t eat spicy food, you can’t eat fried food, you can’t eat too much sugar…” Fang Zicheng said many restrictions in one breath.
Fang Zikai was speechless.
“Then what should I eat? Air?”
Fang Zicheng thought about it and said, “You can buy yogurt or fruits.”
Fang Zikai retorted. “I don’t want to!”
“Then let’s go back.”
“Then yogurt! I want the most expensive one, the 22 yuan one!”
“Oh, then go get it.”
Fang Zikai ran to the place where he bought the yogurt angrily and took five packets of yogurt in one go. When he paid the bill, he was still missing a few yuan. In the end, it was Chi Baoguang who gave him the money.
Fang Zikai walked out of the supermarket, opened a bottle of yogurt, and drank it.
He walked in front with his head lowered. After a few steps, he turned around and walked towards Chi Baoguang and Fang Zicheng. He roughly stuffed a bottle of yogurt into their hands and ran to the parking lot.
Fang Zicheng and Chi Baoguang looked at each other and silently inserted the straw into the bottles to drink them.
“What happened in that district?” Fang Zicheng’s physical abilities were a little different from ordinary people. He heard that the district opposite seemed to be very noisy.
Chi Baoguang looked up and saw that the high-end district opposite the street was indeed filled with many people.
“I don’t know. Maybe there was a car accident.”
He heard someone say something like ‘so miserable, so pitiful’.
“Oh.”
The grandfather and grandsons drove home. Fang Zicheng and Fang Zikai brushed their teeth again and fell asleep.
The next morning, Fang Zicheng realized that Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng’s expressions were very serious, and Chi Baoguang actually did not go to work. He felt strange and asked Fang Yusheng, “Dad, what’s wrong?”
Fang Yusheng glanced at Fang Zicheng and thought of something. His expression became hesitant.
“What happened?” Fang Zicheng’s expression became serious.
What exactly happened to make the atmosphere at home so heavy?
Fang Zicheng looked at Qiao Jiusheng, hoping that she could enlighten him.
However, Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng also looked like they wanted to say something but stopped. They seemed to have many worries, which meant that something big had happened.
