Boss, He’s Becoming a Father [Arc 1] Chapter 22.2: The Prodigal Son (42)
“Auntie, are you okay now?” Shao Dabao asked angrily.
“Okay, eldest nephew and grandson.” Shao Xiaocao said with a smile.
“Hey, how are you talking!” Shao Dabao became angry.
The brother and sister went back to the kitchen fighting like this. Shao Xiaocao hid behind Shao Yu and said, “Brother wants to hit me.”
Shao Yu and Amao immediately looked over together.
Shao Dabao knew that these two doted on his younger sister, so he immediately raised his hand and touched the back of his head, smiled awkwardly, and said, “I was just teasing her.”
Shao Yu has also made breakfast at this time. He has always been attentive to cooking. This morning he made beef noodles.
The braised beef is made with his secret recipe. Just by smelling it, you can tell that it must taste good. Shao Dabao quickly saw the bowl that belonged to him.
Although this bowl is also fragrant, there is no piece of meat on it.
“Dad, if you don’t want to give me meat, let me have some soup.” Shao Dabao said miserably.
Shao Yu glanced at him and poured a spoonful of marinade on it.
After Shao Dabao took a bite, his mouth was full of fragrance. It was just a simple marinade sauce, which was always a little less than the meat that had been marinated all night.
And when he tasted the marinade sauce, he became more and more greedy for the taste of marinated beef.
As if on purpose, Shao Yu saw that the two children had finished eating the meat in their bowls, so he quickly refilled their bowls and said, “There may not be much noodles, but there is enough meat. You can eat it.”
Shao Dabao was about to burst into tears. He tentatively asked Shao Yu, “Dad, when will you treat me as your own?”
“You want to ask when you can eat meat openly.” Shao Yu said with a smile.
Shao Dabao nodded vigorously.
“Depends on your performance.”
Shao Yu spoke so vaguely, but Shao Dabao felt that the road ahead was gloomy, and he didn’t know when his life would end.
“Brother, think more about dad’s request.” Seeing his gloomy look, Shao Xiaocao whispered.
Shao Yu never expected Shao Dabao to succeed, only wanted him to be a person of good character.
“You always think I’m bad, but after so many days since I’ve been back, I haven’t done anything bad.” Shao Dabao said with some annoyance.
“You still sneakily added a stroke to the board this morning, what a villain’s behavior.” Shao Yu said casually.
“This is nothing bad, and it doesn’t hurt anyone else.” Shao Dabao said in a low voice.
Shao Yu glanced at him angrily and said, “You hurt me.”
Shao Dabao:…
Shao Dabao’s struggle was all in vain. After finishing breakfast, for the first time, he did not stare at him, but casually asked Amao: “Are you ready?”
Amao nodded vigorously, his face still a little nervous.
Shao Dabao asked Shao Xiaocao, “What are you doing with this little bastard?”
When Shao Xiaocao heard this, her first reaction was not to answer, but to shout to Shao Yu: “Dad, brother, he is swearing!”
Shao Dabao wanted to cover his sister’s mouth. Shao Yu had always treated him harshly, and he was worried that he would not have the chance to cancel the strokes on his board.
“I’m just kidding, I’m kidding.” Shao Dabao shouted.
Shao Yu glanced at him and said, “Keep your reputation high and don’t do it next time.”
Shao Dabao immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Shao Yu added: “I’ll go out and help your elder brother get the household registration documents. You can keep an eye on the family at home. If anything happens, I’ll settle the account directly with you.”
Shao Yu said the last sentence directly to Shao Dabao.
Shao Dabao immediately said: “Dad, this government office has just opened. Why are you in such a hurry? Why don’t you wait a few more days.”
Amao has now occupied the title of the eldest brother of the Shao family. Shao Dabao naturally does not want him to go to the government and completely become a Shao family member.
But Shao Yu ignored him and took Amao out directly. Shao Dabao said directly to Shao Xiaocao: “Sister, you have disappointed me so much.”
Shao Xiaocao looked at him in surprise, as if she didn’t understand why he suddenly said this.
Shao Dabao came over and said, “That Amao, you may think he looks honest, but in fact he is the most treacherous one. Don’t be deceived by him.”
Shao Xiaocao pursed her lips and asked softly, “Is he more treacherous than you?”
“How did you talk? I’m your brother, is that what you think of me?” Shao Dabao asked.
Parents are always the best teachers for their children. Shao Xiaocao is close to Shao Yu, has a lively temperament, and has learned a lot of taunting skills.
“Yeah, that’s what I thought.”
After hearing this, Shao Dabao instinctively wanted to raise his fist. He thought to himself, he couldn’t do anything against his own father, so why couldn’t he take care of a weak little girl?
But before he raised his fist, he put it down. He was afraid of Shao Yu, but he comforted himself that he didn’t hit her just because he was a good brother.
Shao Dabao collected his emotions for a long time, and then said: “Look, our father has given that beggar food and clothes from outside. Now he has to apply for household registration for him, and he will send him to study in two days.”
“Studying is so expensive. He will probably wipe out our family’s wealth. He has spent all the money at home. What will happen to your dowry when you get married?” Shao Dabao said, pretending to be completely considerate for Shao Xiaocao sake.
Shao Xiaocao laughed when she heard this and said, “Dad has already said that when I get married, he will give me the shop.”
Shao Dabao clenched his fists when he heard this, how could such an important thing be handed over to a married woman.
Shao Xiaocao said again: “I almost forgot to tell you that dad said that when you get married, you have to earn the bride price yourself.”
