Chapter 102
Chapter 102: Today, Mr. Fu Takes the Lead!
After the parent meeting, parents inevitably had a long talk with their children at home.
The Wen and Fu families were no exception, especially since both fathers had attended. It was even more inevitable.
That night, Mr. Wen was very happy, extremely happy indeed.
Being first in the class, that’s something to celebrate! He also checked the grade rankings for the year. Although not in the top ten for the year, he wasn’t far off!
Glory!
Very glorious!
Never been so glorious in my life!
When he returned home, he also bought some small braised dishes and carried a few bottles of wine, so Wen Yu and his father drank a few glasses in the evening and talked about some more future topics.
The atmosphere at Fu’s house was a bit strange.
At first, they were very happy, but as the conversation progressed, they became unhappy.
In the end, it was Fu Chengque’s dream of becoming an actor and her father’s ideology that clashed. Now that Fu Chengque’s grades have improved, the contradiction has intensified.
Late at night, Fu Chengque talked to Wen Yu, and you could feel the anger between the lines.
【Fu Chengque】: My dad is really old-fashioned!!
【Fu Chengque】: He made me so angry! I never said I had to be a movie star
【Fu Chengque】: But he kept nagging!
【Fu Chengque】: It’s driving me crazy, driving me crazy
【Wen Yu】: You still don’t know your dad, that’s how he is
【Wen Yu】: But you also have to stick to the Empress route without wavering for a hundred years, and by then you’ll be the only queen superstar on the whole planet
These words enlightened Fu Chengque!
She punched excitedly in her bedroom: “The only queen superstar on the whole planet,” that’s so amazing!
Yes, who says you can’t have both fish and bear’s paw?
Not getting what you want purely means your strength is too weak. Awesome people can both eat fish and bear’s paw—she, Fu Chengque, must be that person!
【Fu Chengque】: [Cat approves]
【Fu Chengque】: Indeed a strategist!!!
【Fu Chengque】: By the way, my grades have been invincible lately
【Fu Chengque】: I’ll aim for first place in the class next semester, then first place in the year, and finally get the top score in the province
【Fu Chengque】: For university, I’ll do something like aerospace, explore the universe, that works too hahaha
【Wen Yu】: Arrogant! Actually want to challenge me
【Fu Chengque】: Haha, who is the Empress, make it clear
【Wen Yu】: Are you trying to kill me! I’ll support a puppet emperor and usurp your position!
【Fu Chengque】: Wow, I promised you to be above all, but you betrayed me! (Wiping tears)
【Wen Yu】: Huh? Frozen
【Fu Chengque】: ? What’s frozen
【Wen Yu】: My phone froze, I just saw three words from your last sentence
【Fu Chengque】: Ah, which sentence? What words?
【Wen Yu】: I promised you.
【Fu Chengque】:……
【Fu Chengque】: I’ll shark you right now!
【Fu Chengque】: [Cat furious]
After a moment of silence, Fu Chengque sent another message:
【Fu Chengque】: Right, let’s get up early tomorrow to buy groceries!
【Wen Yu】: What time?
【Fu Chengque】: 9 o’clock, by then, our parents should have left.
【Wen Yu】: Okay.
January 25th, overcast, windy, and cold, the surface temperature tells everyone that the Spring Festival is not far away.
According to the time, today is actually the first day of vacation for Wen Yu and his group of senior high school students.
Wen Yu was woken up by Fu Chengque, the legendary Qingmei Kill, once again staged like a fantasy, but the annoyance of waking up overwhelmed this romantic feeling.
On such a cold day, he just wanted to huddle up.
But Fu Chengque, full of enthusiasm, dragged him to the market.
Southern people love fresh produce, so they go to buy the freshest in the morning.
Looking at the bustling crowd, the Empress suddenly burst out with her grassroots nature, waving her hand excitedly.
“Let’s go! Follow me to buy groceries!”
She took the lead, smiling as she scanned the various stalls, like a great empress inspecting her territory.
Wen Yu didn’t ask her what she wanted to buy, just followed behind.
He had anticipated that the chattering penguin was about to arrive.
“General Wen, may I ask what this is?” Fu Chengque pointed to a type of mushroom.
“Chicken mushroom.”
“Mushroom?”
“With this shape, what else do you doubt?”
“Winter?”
“Artificially cultivated.”
“Do you like it?”
“I like it.”
“General Wen, what’s this? Looks like a piece of bamboo.”
“Bamboo shoots. Haven’t you had it before? Stir-fried with pork.”
“Um, I think I’ve heard of it. Oh, mainly because I didn’t buy vegetables before, so I only know what it looks like after it’s cut.”
“Usually cut into diamond-shaped slices, white.”
“Oh~! A bit of an impression! Do you like it?”
“I like it.”
The two continued walking.
Suddenly, Fu Chengque took a few steps forward.
“General Wen, come here, come here, look at this!” She lifted a round vegetable, “This thing, purple! Looks so nice.”
“Purple kale, love it. But this stuff is usually used for salads.”
“Wow, how come you love everything? You’re making it hard for me to decide what to buy.”
“You’re criticizing me too?”
“Come on, let’s go look at more.”
After another stroll, Fu Chengque finally settled on the first target.
She stood in front of the vendor, muttering, “Boss, two tofu blocks.”
“Sure thing.”
The vendor handed her two tofu blocks and she paid.
Fu Chengque was very satisfied with herself, a satisfied smile on her face.
Wen Yu looked puzzled, “Didn’t you come to buy vegetables?”
“Tofu isn’t a vegetable? It’s made from soybeans.”
“Can you cook it?”
“Why wouldn’t I? I spent the whole night browsing a certain search engine, I’ve completely learned how.”
“What did the search engine say?”
“Fry until golden brown, pour in the sauce, cook for two minutes, that’s it.”
“…Are we writing poetry here?”
Wen Yu held back the words in his mind.
After buying the tofu, Fu Chengque dragged him to the seafood section. The strong smell made her hesitate, but seeing Wen Yu watching from behind, Fu Chengque looked determined.
But just as they took a few steps, she exclaimed at the sight of a turtle in the tank, “Big turtle!”
“That’s a terrapin.”
“Big snapping turtle!”
“…”
Wen Yu took a deep breath and asked, “What do you want to buy?”
“Shrimp.” Fu Chengque looked around, “I want to make salt and pepper shrimp.”
Alright, salt and pepper shrimp might be easier than tofu, but it’s still troublesome to deal with, just dealing with shrimp alone might take an hour.
He couldn’t help but remind her, “Dealing with shrimp is quite troublesome…”
“No problem! Oh, Wen Yu, are you cooking or am I cooking? Don’t boss me around today!”
Fu Chengque looked full of confidence, but when she went to buy shrimp, the vendor asked her how much she wanted, she hesitated.
Her pleading gaze towards Wen Yu for help didn’t get a response, so she reluctantly said a number, “One pound.”
When in doubt, one pound is just right!
Carrying the lively shrimp, Fu Chengque was overjoyed.
She tapped the bag of water, “Stop jumping around, I’ll fry you up later!”
After buying the shrimp, she went to buy some pork belly, garlic sprouts, and other ingredients, before finally heading home with a bag full.
Fu Chengque was excited, making boastful remarks all the way:
“Wen Yu, just wait! It’ll definitely be delicious!”
“I’m already salivating, really want to eat!”
“Look at these shrimp, so fresh, they’ll definitely be fragrant when cooked!”
Wen Yu, observing her demeanor, understood:
This is not only a feast unparalleled in two lifetimes, but also a worrisome battle…
