Chapter 1991: Chapter 1419: Going Home (2)
There are five or six young staff members in the shop, but the boss, Su Yang, and the retired Tang Shiyang still handle matters themselves.
At the cash register, Su Yang was checking out for a woman, while the child with her kept staring at the cherries.
Tang Shiyang saw this and smiled, then packed a small bag of cherries for them: "These are fresh dragon-eye cherries from today, take them home for the kid to taste~"
The woman exclaimed in surprise: "Oh, how can we take this..."
Tang Shiyang laughed: "No worries, when they’re fresh, that’s when they’re most valuable."
"Thank you so much! No wonder your shop has such a great reputation." The woman turned to the little boy and said, "Quick, say thank you to Auntie."
Little girl: "Thank you, Auntie!"
Tang Shiyang shook her head with a smile: "I’m almost old enough to be a grandmother, not an aunt~"
The woman was surprised: "Ma’am, you look so young, you can’t be much older than me—how could you be a grandmother?"
"Really? Haha~"
Tang Shiyang laughed heartily. Being complimented on looking young and beautiful, whether genuine or polite, always brings happiness to a woman.
After the woman and the little girl left, Su Yang joked with a pained expression: "Another loss of fifty plus for a small bag of dragon-eye cherries; wife, if you keep giving away fruit like this, we’ll be bankrupt."
Tang Shiyang snorted: "I see the kids happy, so what?"
Su Yang laughed: "Alright, your happiness is mine."
Tang Shiyang shook her head smiling, and slowly said: "The main thing is, the kid’s eyebrows remind me a little of Little Yuan when he was young... Back then, our family didn’t have much money; even when Little Yuan wanted to eat cherries, these slightly expensive fruits, we didn’t get them for him often."
Su Yang also remembered the past and sighed slightly: "Yeah, back then, things were tough at home. Little Yuan failed his first two attempts at Awakening with the Soul Awakening Card, making things even worse... Thankfully, Little Yuan is a strong kid; he succeeded on his third attempt with the Entry-level Soul Awakening Card, and has come this far one step at a time..."
Tang Shiyang looked at the guests in the fruit shop, and the pedestrian in the late autumn sunset, her mind wandered slightly.
"Speaking of, it’s been quite a while since Little Yuan has left." Tang Shiyang sighed and drew back her gaze, "I’ve summed up a rule: if nothing major is happening normally, some of the people inside will stop by to see us occasionally, but if no one has come for a long time, it instead indicates something big is happening."
"Don’t worry, wife, that kid of ours is tough, nothing big will happen!"
Su Yang comforted his wife with a smile, although there was a hint of worry in his own eyes.
As the couple exchanged words, a petite girl, wearing an oversized hoodie and cap, placed a basket of fruit on the counter.
"Excuse me, how much is it?"
The girl slightly lowered her head, the wide brim of the hat covered most of her face, only her cool and crisp voice was heard.
Su Yang immediately returned to his thoughts, quickly counted the basket, and said: "That’ll be sixty-two and a half, I’ll just charge you sixty. You can pay with a scan."
The girl seemed to hesitate a bit, with a slight embarrassment, she asked: "I’m... I’m so cute, can I get it for free?"
Su Yang paused for a moment and laughed heartily: "Little girl, no matter how cute, you can’t get it for free..."
Before Su Yang finished his sentence, Tang Shiyang had already stepped out, grabbing the girl’s hand and bending down to look under the hood.
"Bing Tong?!" Tang Shiyang looked at the delicate doll-like face under the hood, and delighted, tightly grabbed her hand, "It’s really Little Bing Tong!"
Little Bing Tong took off her hood and raised her head, her face unusually had a slight blush, "Tang... Aunt Tang, Uncle Su."
Su Yang was also highly surprised: "It really is Bing Tong!"
Many young customers buying fruit in the shop also looked at Bing Tong in front of the cash register with a surprised expression.
"Look at that girl?? Oh my, she looks just like a porcelain doll!"
"She is indeed very pretty, seems even prettier than the two campus flowers of Capitol Capital College, could she be the daughter of some prestigious family?"
"This girl seems to have a close relationship with the boss of this Su Tang Fruit Store... Could she be their daughter? Or...?"
The people in the shop were sparking endless chatter, and some regulars were extremely curious.
Tang Shiyang and Su Yang naturally didn’t care about the eyes of others, laughing, Tang Shiyang said: "I felt that voice was so familiar, so well-behaved, I recognized it immediately, it’s just that your Uncle Su’s rough ears didn’t react!"
"Yes, yes, Uncle’s ears aren’t sharp!" Su Yang scratched his head, immediately handing over the fruit, "Since it’s Bing Tong, these fruits are certainly on the house."
Tang Shiyang held tightly to Bing Tong’s cool, slippery little hand, full of affection said: "Little Bing Tong, don’t just talk about these fruits, the whole shop can be yours.
Your uncle and I opened such a big fruit shop considering how much you could eat, from now on feel free to eat anytime!"
Upon hearing this, Bing Tong raised her head to look at Su Yang and Tang Shiyang and the many fruits in the shop, feeling a little warmth and joy in her heart.
"Thank you, Auntie, I’ll enjoy it thoroughly." Bing Tong nodded seriously.
"So good~" Tang Shiyang smiled widely, suddenly remembering something, she laughed and asked, "That sentence before, surely wasn’t your own idea, right?"
Bing Tong blinked: "Um..."
Tang Shiyang grinned, scanning the shop she suddenly put hands on hips and shouted outside: "Little Yuan, hurry and show yourself!"
"Mom really is smart~"
On the street outside the shop, Su Yuan in a hoodie outfit chuckled, turned and said to the side: "Then you rest now."
It turned out, half a step behind Su Yuan, was a young man with a fit stature, crew-cut, and linen clothes standing respectfully.
This wasn’t anyone else but the high-ranked Sky Patrol Department expert holding the Turtle Breath Technique to invisibly protect Su Yuan’s family 24/7—Li Chang!
But at this moment, this prestigious and strong Sky Patrol Department master was giving off a red-hot gaze, his expression full of excitement and hard to calm!
"Yes, Master Yu Huang!"
Li Chang answered powerfully, looking at Su Yuan’s receding figure, his gaze filled with unextinguishable zeal and reverence.
Turning from passive to active, leading other royals to the Outer Heaven. Decapitating enemy commanders in an instant, eradicating one realm in a single battle!
Though the populace remains unaware outside, months after the Cangding battle, within the Sky Patrol Department, Yan Court... and even among the top-tier experts of the East and South continents, Su Yuan had already become a legendary figure!
...
"Mom, how did you find out?" Su Yuan walked into the shop, smiling.
Seeing Su Yuan truly here, both Tang Shiyang and Su Yang’s eyes sparkled.
Tang Shiyang chuckled proudly: "Bing Tong is so well-mannered, she wouldn’t say anything like ’want it for free’, it had to be your arrangement, right!"
"Hahaha, that’s right." Su Yuan smiled, rubbing Bing Tong’s head, "Anyway, Mom, you’re really generous, giving the shop to Bing Tong, what about Dad?"
Tang Shiyang said: "Ha, what’s he going to say? Just consider it dowry."
Su Yang heard this and immediately feigned seriousness: "I have no objections whatsoever!"
The family chatted happily, piquing the curiosity of the people around them even more.
After all, this Su Tang Fruit Shop was quite special, and now unexpectedly they saw the owner’s son and... daughter-in-law?
The young staff members in the shop themselves were seeing the boss’s son for the first time and were also quite curious.
Some even took out their phones to take pictures, planning to upload them to the public review app, but after taking the shots, all they could see was a layer of spirit light surrounding the two, making them indistinct.
"Are they both High-level Star Card Masters? So young!"
A few immediately figured it out, their shock clear, none dared to shoot casually anymore.
And at this moment, the overjoyed Tang Shiyang had already led Su Yuan and Bing Tong out of the shop by their hands: "Let’s go, let’s go! Buy groceries, go home, Mom will make you a feast!"
Su Yuan said with a smile: "Okay!"
Bing Tong: "Mm!"
Su Yang quickly called over a staff member to help with the checkout and chased after them: "Wife, son, Bing Tong... wait for me!"
Just like that, the warm family of three... four left the fruit shop, heading towards home amidst the slightly desolate autumn sunset.
