8. Little master
Xiao Yan stayed in Shen's house for several days, and after Shen Mubai got used to having a child at home, news came from the police station.
According to the policewoman who called, Xiaoyan's parents have been contacted and will visit her soon.
Sure enough, early the next morning, an extended luxury car stopped at the door of Shen's house, the driver opened the door respectfully, and a lady stepped down from the car, looking either rich or expensive, polite.
It was the first time that there had been such a big battle on Wutou Mountain, and even the dogs of the Li family next door forgot to flick the glass ball in their hands, dragged their noses, and stood on tiptoe behind the crowd of onlookers.
Everyone knew that the Shen family had saved a child, but they didn't expect that they were still a rich young master.
The Shen family has met a nobleman!
For a while, everyone was envious, jealous and hateful.
"Thanks to your family this time, my family's banquet can be safe and sound, this great kindness, our family is unforgettable." The young woman and Xiao Yan looked very similar, beautiful and abnormal, and her temperament was striking, she smiled slightly, and said thank you with a sincere smile.
"It's just a gesture, you're really strict." It was the first time to see such a noble lady, and there was a noble temperament between her gestures, Shen Anru looked a little restrained, but she also said politely, "And Xiaoyan is very well-behaved, and he is also very suitable for our children, and our whole family likes him very much." ā
"Oh? Eye-catching? ā
Mrs. Zhuang's eyebrows were crooked, and her tail note was slightly hooked, "That's really, it's really not easy." ā
At this moment, Shen Mubai, who had just woken up, heard the movement outside the door, and opened the door with a cat pillow, and the morning sun spread on his white face, cute like a little angel.
Rubbing his eyes in a daze, his immature Tongyin asked, "Mom, who are these people?" ā
"Oh, this is Ling Gongzi, he does look very cute." Mrs. Zhuang's eyes flashed with a hint of appreciation, and she smiled, "No wonder Xiao Yan likes it so much." ā
Shen Anru smiled embarrassedly, and then turned his head: "These are Xiaoyan's family members, and they are here to take him home." Ah, Xiaoyan, you're awake too. ā
Zhuang Yan said "um", he woke up behind Shen Mubai.
As a little tail that follows anytime and anywhere, he is very conscientious. Even if it was still early in the morning, as long as there was a little movement from Shen Mubai's side, he would not miss the time to wake up.
For Mrs. Zhuang's arrival, Zhuang Yan was not a little surprised, and he didn't even have too much expression on his face, but he was holding the corner of Shen Mubai's clothes more and more.
"Banquet," Mrs. Zhuang smiled suddenly, and then greeted her happily, "Mom came to take you home, it's all Mom's negligence, you have been wronged these days." ā
Facing Mrs. Zhuang's approach, Zhuang Yan silently took a step back and hid behind Shen Mubai, revealing only two big eyes.
"Feast, I'm going home with my mother, you can't always trouble people here, obedient, understand?"
Mrs. Zhuang held his white and tender little hand, and although she looked smiling, her gentle tone was unquestionably firm.
"Hmm" Zhuang Yan bit his lip, looked at Shen Mubai with an indifferent face, and then looked at Mrs. Zhuang with a smile, as if after a fierce ideological struggle, after a long time, he nodded slowly and with difficulty.
Someone was called to send Zhuang Yan into the car, and Mrs. Zhuang smiled lightly and handed Shen Anru a thick envelope.
"These little money, talk about gratitude, please Miss Shen don't shirk."
Shen Anru waved her hand again and again and refused: "Madame is really too polite, it's just a trivial matter, you don't need it"
"Miss Shen, don't say that, your family saved my youngest son's life, and tens of millions of taels of gold can't be exchanged for such a great kindness, such a little outside the body is already very little, please don't refuse again, otherwise I will be so guilty that I can't sleep well."
"Mom, take it." Shen Mubai suddenly said coldly. He has never been a high-ranking person with money like dung, and his family's financial situation has always been difficult, not to mention that the dealer must not be short of this money, even if he accepts it, it is nothing.
Mrs. Zhuang's words were beautiful, and she couldn't refuse too much, so Shen Anru had to sigh and accept the envelope.
At the same time, a young man sitting in the carriage looked up with a face that was seven points similar to Zhuang Yan, less baby fat for the child, but there was more wanton flying in his eyes, he flashed his black glass-like eyes that were exactly the same as Zhuang Yan, and snorted coldly and laughed.
"Zhuang Yan, is it fun outside the house?"
Zhuang Yan ignored him, and just looked at Shen Mubai who was standing outside the car with a pillow, revealing a trace of grievance and loneliness, and his wet eyes were pitiful, like a puppy about to leave his master.
It's a pity that the person didn't notice it at all, and completely wasted his expression. (ć-ć)
"That kid, what is Mu Bai's name, right?"
There was a hint of interest in the young man's eyes, and he smiled slyly, "It's really rare that you care so much about a person and pretend to be harmless to humans and animals, it's really an eye-opener for me, you like him very much?" That guy is really good-looking, and he's my type of person, interesting-"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhuang Yan turn his head suddenly, his stunned and innocent expression suddenly changed into a cold and cold picture that was completely inconsistent with his age, and a trace of angry fire flashed in his dark pupils.
Zhuang Yan's shot was as fast as lightning, and he immediately choked the young man's throat without mercy.
"Hey, Zhuang Yan, I'm your brother, you treat me like this?" A trace of panic quickly flashed in Zhuang Fei's eyes, he tilted his head, and shouted in a low voice with a pale face, "Don't you think it's amazing to crush your biological brother under you?" ā
"Zhuang Fei, don't touch him," Zhuang Yan was like an enraged little beast, with a dumb roar in his throat, "Did you hear that?!" ā
"Ahem, you actually spoke?" was choked by the throat, Zhuang Fei restrained his wrists and lay down on the seat, knowing that this younger brother was not joking with him, and the sneer on his lips was about to hang up, but he didn't stop looking provocatively.
"Fortunately, you stayed here for three or four days, if it's a full moon night, Zhuang Yan, what do I think you are going to do?" Zhuang Fei pulled the corners of his mouth and said with a cold smile, the mockery in his eyes cut people like a blade.
Zhuang Yan's eyes narrowed, slowly let go of the imprisoned boy's hand, and glanced at him fiercely and coldly, his fierce eyes were full of threat, and then he turned around silently and continued to say nothing.
"Virtue."
The young man glanced at Zhuang Yan and rubbed his throat angrily, only to see that the wrist that had just been grabbed by Zhuang Yan had left a scar similar to burning.
He furrowed his eyebrows deeply and muttered, "It's just a little monster." ā
When sending Zhuang Yan and his party away, Shen Mubai inadvertently raised his eyes, and saw very clearly that Zhuang Yan's hands were propped up on the car window, and his big eyes were round, looking at him pitifully from afar.
When the car started to start, Zhuang Yan's children raised their eyes as pure as a star lake, their eyes were wet like a puppy abandoned by their owners, and their bright tears overflowed, as if they were about to take out their eyes, as if they were silently saying "Leave me, hug me", but Shen Mubai looked away indifferently and turned around and walked towards the house.
On the other side, Shen Anru, who was holding an envelope in his hand, looked at the luxury car that had left and fell into deep thought.
"Where does that lady seem to have seen it?"

Sending away the sticky imp finally solved one thing, and in the next few days, Shen Mu followed his grandfather to learn cooking skills every day.
These days, without the little tail of Zhuang Yan to follow, Shen Mubai is a little unaccustomed to it. He studied very seriously, and he didn't have time to think about anything so that he could be so busy.
In fact, repeated practice is more important than oral teaching.
Cooking makes perfect, so these days, most of the three meals of the Shen family were made by Shen Mubai by himself.
Besides, although the Shen family cuisine has not passed down any legendary recipes, there are a lot of cooking tips, which are all the experience passed down by word of mouth from generation to generation in the Shen family.
The accumulation of hundreds of years of experience, these seemingly ordinary and ordinary experiences are actually the greatest treasures.
"Here, add a little salad oil to preserve the color of the vegetables"
"Cut the mushrooms and boil them over low heat"
"Looking at the heat is the key, the best way to remove water and collect juice from the fire, and boil the soup to simmer to produce the flavor and nutrition"
"Look here, adding a little sugar to bring out the umami of the meat is essential"
"The soup here is boiled dry, don't add water, remember to add pear juice"
Over the past few days, the more Shen Mubai has been taught, the more Grandpa Shen has felt that his grandson is definitely not a thing in the pool.
First of all, as a child who is more than five years old and has not yet reached the age of six, the strength of his arms is amazing, and he can swing the heavy iron spatula with ease, without shouting tiredness at all.
Secondly, his knife work is amazing, the kitchen knife is like a long sword with a sheath in his hand, as long as he teaches him various cutting methods, Shen Mubai can learn from it and cut all kinds of good-looking slices on the cutting board neatly.
In the end, thanks to his little brain, his brain is really turning too fast, he can learn to draw inferences from one another, and similar dishes can be made perfectly without being deliberately taught.
Shen Mubai is like a sponge, with the environment, he can absorb a large amount of new knowledge in an endless stream, and he will not fall behind at all!
Grandpa Shen saw that his grandson was so talented, and his eyes narrowed with joy.
"Our old Shen family is a treasure! Still a big baby! Every time he saw Shen Mubai perfectly turn off the heat and put the pot on the plate, he always said happily.
However, Shen Anru saw that his son was so dedicated to learning cooking that he almost forgot to sleep and eat, and his heart began to feel a little anxious.
In her opinion, a child's childhood should be happy and unrestrained.
As for their own children, they are more calm than adults all the time.
While other parents were worried that their children were too playful and would abandon their studies, Shen's mother did the opposite.
It's just because Shen Mubai is too conformist, he never lets his family worry about it, and he is sensible and distressing.
Shen's mother can't wait for her son to be childlike. Boys! It should be more entertaining, not staying at home every day, except that the spoon is the spoon!
Hey, it's also a troublesome thing to have a well-behaved and quiet son at home!
Shen Anru, who was envied and hated by the neighbors for having a good son, couldn't help but sigh.
So with the money given by Mrs. Zhuang, Shen Anru decisively bought the latest computer in the town and came back, choosing the best and latest models for the configuration, and asked the salesman in the store to install several action games that children love to play, and by the way, pulled the network cable.
After buying a whole set of things, there is not much money left.
She knew that the children in the town liked to play with the computer, and hoped that with this entertainment equipment, it would be better to cultivate some of Shen Mubai's playfulness, and not let the children lose their lively and curious nature.
But he didn't expect the computer to move home, Shen Mubai didn't show much joy, just thought for a while, and asked the family very calmly: "Mom, grandpa, do you want to make more money?" ā
"Huh? (āvā) Make money? What? Shen Anru looked confused, smiled and asked.
Mom spent a lot of money on a computer, just for you to play!
