Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After saying goodbye to Philip, Monn imdiately went ho!
Things had been quite chaotic these few days, and he didn’t even buy much food.
For ng En who was used to working from nine to five, and had every period of ti well allocated, it was absolutely unforgivable that he didn’t buy food and cook.
ng En could even imagine that the lady boss of the vegetable store and the aunties at the market would miss the way he bargained.
Thinking about it again...
Little Elma was about to finish school. It would be awkward if there were no dishes to eat at ho!
Even if he was hungry, he could not let little Elma starve and mumbled, “Daddy, you forgot to buy food. Elma won’t cook for you anymore!”
Thinking of this, ng En kept speeding up that he even used so saint power.
It was not even enough ti for a cup of afternoon tea, the city was right in front of him.
Coming to Saint Selvan City, ng En quickly rushed to Aunt Mamie’s vegetable shop!
Although it was not the ti for a discount, there were no vegetables at ho, so ng En did not care about this little money.
“Oh! Mr. ng En, it seems that you haven’t been here for a few days!”
Outside the vegetable shop, before ng en entered, a warm voice of a woman ca from inside!
As expected, ng En thought so in his heart.
Then, he nodded with a smile and walked into the store,
“Mrs. Sandy, you’re the one selling vegetables today! Where’s Aunt Mamie?”
The tall woman in front of him, whose figure could be described as “robust”, was Aunt Mamie’s daughter-in-law.
In the past, when ng En ca to buy vegetables, he had t her a few tis!
Ever since this Madam Sandy had seen ng En once.
She always wanted to introduce her younger sister to ng En.
Every ti, the corner of ng En’s mouth twitched as he refused!
Not to ntion that he was not ready to get married yet.
Even if he was, looking at Madam Sandy’s figure, ng En would not dare to marry her younger sister!
It was not that ng En had any resistance towards a woman with a robust figure.
He simply prefered beautiful won.
“Mom is resting today. She might be shopping at the market with the auntie next door...”
Madam Sandy replied enthusiastically and then winked at ng En.
“Hey, Mr. ng En, seriously, do you want to et my younger sister?”
“She’s a beauty! That’s what my family says!”
ng En’s temples throbbed, and he quickly waved his hand to reject the offer!
It didn’t matter if she was good-looking or not, the main thing was that he really couldn’t control her figure!
“Mr. ng En, you’re just too shy!”
I’m not shy! I’m scared!
ng En’s heart was filled with bitterness.
Then he joked, “If she’s a beautiful woman like the Princess of a kingdom, I’ll consider it...”
“Really?” Sandy pursed her lips and snickered.
Soon, ng En picked a few vegetables.
Cabbage, broccoli...
Anyway, the final destiny of these vegetables was to be washed and directly cooked.
So ng En didn’t care much about the type!
As long as it was vegetables, they could basically be vitamin supplents.
“These will do.”
Madam Sandy took the vegetables ng En picked and weighed them on a scale that looked antique.
She smiled and saidm
“Two shillings and six pence!”
ng En nodded and handed her a five shillings coin.
After Madam Sandy gave him back the two shillings and fourteen pence coin.
ng En nodded politely and walked out of the vegetable shop.
Behind him, ng En could still vaguely hear Madam Sandy’s muttering,
“Mr. ng En is good in every way, but he’s too shy...”
The corner of his mouth twitched as he walked towards old John’s beef shop.
at was a must-have food in ng En’s house. Firstly, ng En had to consu a lot of it himself, and secondly, when Elma was growing, she needed more nutrition.
“Beef, steak...”
ng En picked and chose, and soon picked out a good amount of at.
...
Ten minutes later, ng En returned ho.
In his hands, he was already carrying a large pile of ingredients!
Because he did not buy them at discount ti, the total price was slightly higher than usual, costing a total of 11 shillings!
When he reached ho, little Elma had not ca back yet.
ng En hurriedly washed the ingredients and made the Old Three Dishes!
Not long after.
Little Elma’s voice ca from outside the door.
“Daddy ng En, I’m Back!”
“Alma’s back? Co and eat!”
“It can’t be beef soup, boiled vegetables, and baked bread again, right?”
“Umm... balanced nutrition, balanced nutrition!”
ng En smiled awkwardly and placed the Old Three Dishes on the table.
Of course, there was still so leftover fish on the table from the morning, so ng En ward it up a little.
Although little Alma disliked it, she was still very happy when she ate.
“Dad! Sothing interesting happened in school today. Lena was last in the running test in physical education class today.”
“Isn’t she the best in your class?”
“She has the best academic performance, but her physique is a little weak.”
“What about Elma’s physique?”
“?” Elma pointed at herself with her fingers and said proudly, “I can beat dad to the ground!”
“...” ng En praised her lovingly, “Yes, yes, yes, little Elma is the best...”
After the father and daughter finished their al, little Elma took the initiative to help ng En clean up the kitchen and the dining room.
ng En smiled with relief and praised little Elma!
After dinner, it was the usual “Five-In-A-Row chess ga” between the two of them!
Today, ng En was lucky enough to win two out of ten gas!
Little Elma was stunned!
At nine thirty, ng En was on his bed on ti.
