Good Dad System (Arc 5) Chapter 47.1: Her Gambler Dad (25)

The LED screen on the mall was printed with huge words “Happy Holidays”, and the corners were dotted with cute rabbits. Most of the shops that sold desserts on weekdays launched limited edition mooncakes, which were selling well. As night fell, pedestrians hurried home.

 

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! For many families, it was a good time for the family to get together and have dinner together. The same was true for the Pei family.

 

“Liping, why can’t I find the cheese balls? I remember we bought them the day before yesterday.” Pei Naochun was squatting in front of the refrigerator, searching carefully, wishing he could stick his head in there.

 

“Forget it if you can’t find it.” Wu Liping didn’t look at him. She was preparing the base of the pot. There was an induction cooker on the table in the living room, surrounded by plates. The three of them had reached a consensus in the family group and decided to have a steaming hot pot on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

 

“That won’t do.” Pei Naochun muttered, “Taozi likes this!”

 

Wu Liping came over and pointed: “It’s in the middle grid, you’ve found the wrong one.” After explaining the situation, she immediately returned to her seat. Today’s soup base was bone soup, which used large bones of native pigs, plus a few large clams the size of wrists and thinly sliced mushrooms. After a while, the soup base turned an appetizing white color, and a rich aroma wafted into the air.

 

Pei Naochun finally found the cheese balls that were pressed deep inside. The couple had been busy all afternoon today, preparing quite a few dishes. The vegetarian dishes included enoki mushrooms, Chinese cabbage, lotus roots, potatoes, etc.; the meat dishes were sliced beef and mutton bought specially from the supermarket; They also prepared a variety of Pei Tao’s favorite meatballs, and put half a small plate of each, which was almost full.

 

“Taozi is really busy now.” Wu Liping had already poured the soup into the induction cooker and sat at the dining table, looking at the door from time to time. The Mid-Autumn Festival Gala on TV had already started, but it didn’t attract her attention at all.

 

“Yeah, it’s work, there’s nothing we can do.” Pei Naochun also sat down, his tone full of emotion.

 

Pei Tao’s resume was very outstanding. She was valued right after graduation and joined the group. After becoming an assistant, she followed the boss around every day. But this also means being busy. The boss was not like the employees under him who get off work since nine to five and get off work on time. It was common for him to socialize and drink at the table from time to time. Although they lived together at home, the couple has not had a good meal with their daughter for a long time.

 

Just this morning, the couple’s Taobao store was closed. They prepared breakfast at home and wanted to go shopping with their daughter. But as soon as Pei Tao got up, she changed into formal clothes, grabbed a bun, and left in a hurry, saying that the boss had a cooperation with someone and she had to go over to help and take notes. The couple had no choice but to watch their daughter leave and support her career.

 

Wu Liping was bored and specially cut a fruit plate in the afternoon. She took it and pushed it to her husband, and picked one up with a toothpick for herself: “The boss lady of the fried bun shop next door was chatting with me a few days ago.”

 

“What did she say?”

 

“She said that our Taozi is beautiful, good at work and study, and she wants to introduce a date to Taozi! She said that she has a friend’s child who is honest, his parents are civil servants, and they have a house in City B.”

 

Pei Naochun frowned immediately and shook his head: “That won’t work.” He was also a seasoned man, and based on his previous experience, he knew that in the blind date market, simply saying that a person is honest is usually equated with having no other advantages.

 

Wu Liping was worried: “I don’t think Taozi can’t find a partner, but I see that she works hard every day and there is no one to chat with her. This is not good.”

 

“I’ll accompany her.”

 

His inappropriate words really earned him a glare from his wife: “How can it be the same? It would be great to have someone to accompany her.”

 

“Don’t worry. Our Taozi knows her limits. She’s so busy now, and if we introduce her to someone blindly, wouldn’t that make her even more uncomfortable?” Pei Naochun said with a smile. He was not worried at all. Firstly, he supported his daughter’s choice. Secondly, his daughter would never have the opportunity to meet Li Haoran in this life. With him as her father to keep an eye on things, there wouldn’t be any problems at all!

 

Wu Liping wanted to say something, but her ears moved and she turned her head immediately. She heard the sound of someone unlocking the door. Sure enough, the door was opened and the person who came in was the protagonist of the couple’s conversation, Pei Tao.

 

“You’re back? Are you tired? Come, sit down. Mom and dad have prepared the food.” Wu Liping stood up immediately and looked at her daughter with heartache.

 

“Not tired.” Pei Tao was busy all day and was actually quite tired, but she adjusted herself before entering the house so as not to worry her parents. “Wow, what did you cook that smells so good?” She deliberately closed her eyes and pretended to smell something, her face full of anticipation.

 

“Didn’t we agree to have hotpot?” Pei Naochun smiled when he saw his daughter. “Your mother has been busy all afternoon making this special soup base especially for you. I just lent a hand and help prepare some dishes.”

 

Pei Tao put her bag down and sat down at the dining table without going into the house to change clothes: “Thank you, Mom and Dad, for your hard work. Let’s eat. Don’t waste so many good ingredients.” She was always very supportive.

 

Seeing her daughter sit down, Wu Liping also sat down. Although they said they were eating, they were more concerned about taking care of their daughter. The couple took turns putting food into Pei Tao’s bowl and never let the bowl be empty. Pei Tao ate until she was very full.

 

The family’s habit was to chat after dinner, but Pei Tao was different today. She seemed quite hesitant and looked around.

 

“Dad, Mom, I want to ask you a question…” She suddenly spoke, her face a little red, not sure if it was because of the heat in the house or because of her blushing.

 

“Um?”
