Good Dad System [Arc 1] Chapter 5.2: Father, He Is A Great Man (10)
The bag was covered with red tape. After opening it, she saw a brand new women’s shirt inside. She immediately saw the trademark on the collar of the shirt, which was a mid-priced women’s clothing brand in the mall.
“I was afraid that you wouldn’t like it, so I bought something simpler.” Pei Naochun touched his nose.
Su Xiuzhen neatly shook off the shirt. The shirt was a dark blue simple style, with waist-cinching stitching, and the color and style were exactly what she wanted.
“…What kind of shirt should I buy? It’s hard for me to lift my arms and legs when I wear this to work.”
“You dress well.”
Su Xiuzhen didn’t speak, and folded her clothes neatly back into the bag awkwardly.
Pei Chuqing, who was standing beside her, also opened the bag. When she saw what was inside, she looked stunned and froze there.
“What did your dad buy for you?” Su Xiuzhen leaned over with a smile, and was stunned for a while.
Inside the bag is a backpack, light pink in color, with a Kitty cat’s face sewn in the middle using slightly darker pink thread, and a conspicuous bow decoration hanging on the zipper.
“I couldn’t find the flip-top style you liked before.” In fact, Pei Naochun saw a few flip-top bags, but the bags were quite small, and they were all in the style of anime sheep, bears, and pigs, with a strong desire to survive. If he chooses this, girls will like it, right?
Pei Chuqing lowered her head, unable to see her expression, and suddenly said: “… so childish!”
“Huh?” Pei Naochun didn’t hear clearly.
“This schoolbag is very childish. I’m not a primary school student anymore. If I carry this out, I’ll be laughed to death! I hate daddy!” She teased, hugged the newly opened bag, and ran back to her room like a gust of wind. Only two people were left looking at each other.
“Xiuzhen, did I do something wrong?” Pei Naochun felt a little guilty. He still didn’t know much about girls of this age. The original body in his memory didn’t know much about his daughter. He did bad things with good intentions.
“It should be fine.” Su Xiuzhen felt that her daughter was not really angry, “Maybe she was just being troublesome. Children of this age like to care about this.”
“That’s good.”
Su Xiuzhen held the bag like something very precious, and planned to go back to her room to put it away, but she remembered something and looked at Pei Naochun.
“What’s wrong?” Just as Pei Naochun was about to sit down and continue to work on his big plan, he felt a chill go down his back.
“You spent almost all the borrowed money today, right?” Su Xiuzhen was a little worried, but she was happy, but she wasn’t happy with the borrowed money. She was counting her salary in the little notebook in her heart.
Pei Naochun knew what Su Xiuzhen was worried about, and immediately assured: “Don’t worry Xiuzhen, you believe me…” Before he could say his plan, Su Xiuzhen went back to the room and left a slow sentence, “Then you will do it for you. I’ll see.”
Okay, Pei Naochun knew that if he talked too much now, it would be better to show it well. He continued to think about his great cause in his notebook, and used the original owner’s button phone that had been used for many years to carefully search for relevant information.
All is ready except for the opportunity.
…
Early the next morning, Pei Naochun tiptoed to get up. He had already made a plan the day he first arrived. In the past, the original body used to help with housework, but because of his work and “charity cause” he became too busy, and most of the time the responsibility still falls on Su Xiuzhen.
There was still milk in the refrigerator. He trotted to the stall at the entrance of the alley to buy some fried dough sticks and steamed buns. In the county town, the price was quite low. He arrived home soon, heated the milk, put the bag away, and continued to write in his mysterious little book.
Su Xiuzhen got up when she smelled the slightly sweet smell of milk outside. She looked at the time. She was working the morning shift today. She had to get to the unit before seven-thirty. When she walked to the closet, she suddenly felt a little hesitant.
Unconsciously, her hand reached to the bottom of the cabinet. As soon as she entered the room yesterday, she put the clothes in the cabinet as they were, and was reluctant to take them apart.
It’s inconvenient to wear this dress.
But you can bring extra casual clothes to wear under them when the time comes.
There seemed to be two little people fighting silently in my mind.
At the same time, Pei Chuqing, who was drowsily asleep, also got up. She was a “thief” last night, her head was moving slightly, and she was very sleepy.
She brushed her teeth, washed her face and changed into her school uniform neatly, then reached out her hand and picked up the pink schoolbag on the chair.
Yes, in the middle of the night last night, she tossed and turned in bed and couldn’t sleep. Later, when she heard that there was no movement outside, she secretly turned on the light and completely moved the contents of the schoolbag in the room. It was a little late when she fall asleep.
Pei Chuqing carried her bag and took two steps around the room, debating whether to go out or not.
This bag is very childish, but since it is my father’s wish, I can’t waste it, that’s it.
After quickly persuading herself, she also went out the door in a dignified manner, but when she opened the door, she stopped. Opposite her was her mother who had also just walked out of the door. The dark blue shirt that looks familiar, and thinking about the pink schoolbag on her back, there is a sense of shyness that slaps her face.
“Xiuzhen, Qingqing, come eat! Otherwise, it will be too late.” Pei Naochun glanced at the time on his phone, he smiled and praised, “This shirt really suits you, and this schoolbag matches our Qingqing very well!”
Although she was praised, she was a little shy. Pei Chuqing lowered her head and drank milk and whispered, “Thank you, Dad.”
Su Xiuzhen tugged at the corner of her clothes: “It fits very well. I like it very much.” The small bag she usually carried she had quietly put a folded plain T-shirt on it at this time.
Pei Naochun looked at them both with a silly smile.
In short, this gift-giving is not a failure, right?
