Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 2) Chapter 46.3: The Bitter Heroine (16)

Aliang was only ten years old, after all, he was still a child, he moved such a heavy box a few times, and he was too tired to walk. Although Ahuan was anxious, he didn’t urge him hard, but instead gave Ah Liang the water he had brought.

 

“You still have someone with your father, you don’t even know how to prepare water.” Ah Huan sneered, but there was so much sourness in his words that he couldn’t even tell.

 

Aliang took a sip and then looked towards Shao Yu, only to see that Shao Yu did not bring water, and was still carrying the box tirelessly at this time, the sweat on his forehead kept on fall down.

 

Aliang suddenly asked: “Brother Huan, can I give my father a sip of water? My father didn’t bring any water either. ”

 

A Huan heard this and said, “You’re addicted to rubbing something against me. It’s just a water kettle. You can drink it yourself, but you want to give it to your father.”

 

Aliang immediately lowered his head in shame.

 

Although A Huan said it fiercely, he didn’t stop him in the end, and only said, “Remember to leave some for me. ”

 

Aliang got his permission and immediately ran towards Shao Yu with joy.

 

A Huan behind him couldn’t hold back, and said, “Don’t break my water kettle.”

 

A Huan is an orphan and has few things. This water kettle is a trophy he won after a fight with a few homeless children, so he has always cherished it very much.

Aliang trotted over, just in time for Shao Yu to put down a box of things,

 

“Dad, drink water.”

 

Shao Yu looked at him in surprise and asked, “Where did you get the water kettle? ”

 

Aliang immediately said Ah Huan.

 

A Huan, who was not far away, saw A Liang pointing at him to Shao Yu, and he suddenly became nervous and didn’t even dare to look up.

When Shao Yu and the others stopped looking at him, Ah Huan dared to look at the father and son. When he saw Shao Yu taking a sip of water from the water kettle to Ah Liang, and then patted his forehead affectionately, Ah Huan felt a little envious in his heart.

 

Aliang ran back, returned the water kettle to Ah Huan, smiled and said, “Daddy said thank you.”

 

“Who wants your thanks, just don’t break my water kettle.” Ah Huan shook the kettle, and immediately judged that Shao Yu didn’t drink much water.

 

It was noon in the blink of an eye. Even if there was a lot of cargo at the dock, the foreman had to give the workers time to eat.

 

Shao Yu came over and said to Ah Huan, “Are you Ah Huan? Thank you for the water before.”

A Huan talked a lot when facing A Liang, but facing Shao Yu, he could only nod timidly.

 

“Come on, I’ll take you to lunch.” Shao Yu held one in hand.

 

A Huan wanted to say who wants to eat with you, but it seemed that Shao Yu’s palm was too warm, and he was so obediently pulled away by Shao Yu.

 

Shao Yu took the two children to find a restaurant near the pier for dinner.

 

The restaurants here are all the business of dock workers, so the food in the restaurant is very cheap, but the taste is uneven.

Before entering this restaurant, Shao Yu smelled at the door and brought the two children in.

 

The workers on the wharf are doing hard work, most of them are poor people, Shao Yu looked at several tables and saw several people sitting together eating a fried vegetable.

 

Shao Yu ordered a green vegetable, a scrambled egg, and a green pepper shredded pork.

 

A Huan can’t remember exactly how long he hasn’t eaten meat.

 

He is a vagabond, he is not very strong and young, so there are not many opportunities to work. Like today, there are very few times when he can accompany the men to work on the dock. Most times he can only wait on the edge of the pier, waiting for an opportunity to go to work.

Therefore, he lives a precarious life every day. Occasionally, when he earns money, he dares not eat and drink lavishly, but buys the cheapest food, for fear that he will starve to death if he has no income one day.

 

So the dishes Shao Yu ordered were luxurious enough for him.

 

“Today I was careless and forgot to bring water, thanks to you for giving me water to drink, otherwise I would die of thirst, this meal is my thanks to you.” Shao Yu said with a smile.

 

It was the first time that Ah Huan was treated as a guest, and he still had such a “big meal”. He couldn’t say what he was nervous about, but he still said: “It’s not worth it, it’s not worth it, just drink it. A sip of water.”

 

Shao Yu’s attitude was very firm. In order to reassure the child, he picked up the child’s kettle and took a sip.

 

A Huan couldn’t refuse, and he had more expectations, but when the food came, he only took a piece of meat. After tasting it, he kept eating green vegetables.

 

Shao Yu still couldn’t see it, and gave him a lot of meat and eggs.

 

The three of them ate a lot of food, and they stopped only after they had eaten all three dishes without leaving any soup.

 

For Ah Huan, this was one of the few times he had a full meal in his memory, and it was enough for him to recall many days.

 

After the meal, Shao Yu asked the boss for hot water to fill the kettle. For Shao Yu who ordered three dishes like this, in the eyes of the boss, he was a big customer, and naturally he would not refuse him this request.

 

The workers at the dock did not have a lunch break. After eating, they had to start moving goods again. Ah Liang, on the other hand, was leaning against Shao Yu at this time, nodding his head. After eating a full meal, he was inevitably a little sleepy.

 

A Huan looked at A Liang snuggling with Shao Yu, and felt a little envious, but he was more worried that if A Liang fell asleep, it would affect his work.

 

Shao Yu slapped some cold water on Ah Liang’s face and said, “If you don’t move the goods, others will.”

 

A Liang rubbed his eyes and looked at Ah Huan. Although he was still very sleepy, he still forced himself to be energetic.

 

Although he cooperated, the efficiency in the afternoon is still not as good as in the morning.

 

Wait until the sunset fills the sky, and it was time for pay.

 

Shao Yu moved a lot today, so he still made some money, but Ah Liang is young after all, so the money in his hand is not good enough.

 

Counting the few silver coins, Ah Liang’s brows were furrowed so much that they could kill a fly.

 

But Ah Huan, who received the same amount of money, was very happy. Although he was very tired, he hadn’t made money for a long time.

 

A Huan lived under the bridge not far from the pier. After leaving the pier, he said goodbye to Shao Yu and A Liang. When he said goodbye, he looked forward to seeing Shao Yu again tomorrow.

 

“Dad, shall we go back? I want to go back by rickshaw.” A Liang said pitifully.

 

“If you want to take a rickshaw, then pay for it yourself.” Shao Yu said.

 

Aliang immediately asked the rickshaw for the price, and immediately said, “It’s good to walk, I want to walk.”
