Chapter 264 I'll Pick You Up
Chen Ke's words made me feel relieved. She didn't think the car was bad, but she was very happy and wanted me to pick her up often.

I found that I seemed to have become too utilitarian, and had a lot of low self-esteem. The economic situation has improved, but my heart has become more fragile.

I've been thinking too much.

"Dad will come to pick you up when he is free. Right now, he can't come to pick you up every day. When he has money and buys a house in Wuchang, Dad will pick you up every day, okay?" I don't want to lie to Chen Ke, and I really can't do it now When I come to pick her up every day, at most, I will say when I have time to come to Wuchang, and I can pick up Chen Ke at that time.

Chen Ke fastened his seat belt, and I drove to Tong Wangjun's rental shop.

Halfway through the car, Chen Ke said to me, "Dad, can we buy some fruit and go home?"

"Do you want to eat fruit? What do you want to eat? Dad will buy it for you." My daughter has needs, and I can solve them within my ability. This makes me very fulfilled, and it feels good to be relied on.

I want to be my daughter's Dashan.

"I haven't eaten fruit for many days. My mother used to buy fruit every day, but recently she seldom buys fruit for me. My mother is so tired." Chen Ke said, "Dad, let's go buy some fruit to eat." Go back and feed your mother, okay?"

I parked the car next to a supermarket, got out of the car with Chen Ke, and took her hand into the supermarket: "Is mom tired recently?"

"Well, she's so tired, she comes home late every day, and sometimes I cook by myself." Chen Ke nodded, "Mother almost fainted yesterday."

"Didn't you hire a nanny at home? Why do you need to cook by yourself, where is the nanny?" I was a little surprised, and worried that the nanny was unreliable, so I asked Chen Ke to cook by myself.

In the news, the nanny abused the child, slapped the child, and directly poured hot food into the child's mouth. Such things were reported from time to time, and it made people full of worry. I was always worried that this would happen to my daughter. Hearing what Chen Ke said now, he became even more nervous.

"There is no nanny." Chen Ke said.

I took a plastic bag, picked up a small tomato, and paused: "Why is there no nanny, is the nanny on leave, or what happened?"

"Mom quit the nanny." Chen Ke added a picked tomato to the plastic bag.

I was puzzled, and felt that something was wrong, that Tong Wangjun would resign the nanny.When I said before that I don't want a nanny, she disagreed and insisted on hiring a nanny, but now she has resigned the nanny.

And I heard from Chen Ke that Tong Wangjun seemed to be very busy, she was so busy that she almost fainted, she works in an advertising company, she usually works overtime occasionally, but she is not so busy.

After buying some fruits and some drinks, Chen Ke and I got out of the supermarket and got into the car. I drove the car downstairs to Tong Wangjun's building with doubts all the way.

But after going upstairs, he knocked on the door and found that there was no one inside, and Tong Wangjun hadn't come back yet.

"I have the key." Chen Ke was carrying the schoolbag, and took out the key from the schoolbag. I took it and opened the door.

I washed some fruits and put them on the table for Chen Ke to eat by himself: "When does Mom usually come back?"

"She won't be back until after ten o'clock." Chen Ke said.

It's only past six o'clock now, and most companies will get off work at five or six o'clock. Tong Wangjun will not come back until after ten o'clock. I asked Chen Ke, "Is mom coming back so late these days?"

"Well, it's been a few days since my mother and Uncle Xu quarreled last time, and she has been coming back so late." Chen Ke nodded, "Uncle Xu hasn't come to teach me how to play the piano for a long time."

I frowned, Tong Wangjun and Xu Heng seemed to have broken up.

But I can't be happy, Tong Wangjun's state is not right.

I didn't leave, I went to the refrigerator to look, and found that there were only some vegetables in the refrigerator, and there were only a little left. I told Chen Ke to let her watch TV and eat fruits at home, and I went downstairs to the nearby supermarket to buy some. some dishes.

When I came back, I washed and cut the vegetables and put them aside. I watched TV with Chen Ke for a while: "Shouldn't you be doing your homework?"

"Watch TV for a while. Don't worry, Mom will be back late. I will do my homework after she comes back." Chen Ke stared at the TV. What she watched was not cartoons, but variety shows, and it was from TFBOYS.

Chen Ke watched with relish, without moving his eyes, and occasionally laughed, just like Chen Le was fascinated by watching Xiong Da Xiong Er.

"Is this so pretty?" I asked.

"Well, they look good, they are all so handsome." Chen Ke nodded, "They can also sing."

"This is the effect after putting on makeup. If there is no makeup, I must not be so handsome." I said that I felt a little pantothenic.

"They are so handsome without makeup. They are young and have good skin." Chen Ke argued with me.

"Are they handsome or dad?" I asked Chen Ke to choose.

"Of course they are handsome." Chen Ke replied without hesitation.

"Don't watch TV anymore, do your homework, go to bed early after finishing your homework, what variety show do kids watch?" I grabbed the remote control and turned off the TV directly.

"I still want to watch it, and I'll finish it in a while." Chen Ke said, but she was not as aggressive as Chen Le, and she didn't come over to grab the remote control from my hand.

It was Chen Le, who must have grabbed my face and snatched the remote control from my hand right now.

"It's already eight o'clock, you've been watching it for over an hour, hurry up and do your homework, if you're not allowed to watch it, you're not allowed to watch it." I didn't give the remote control.

"You're just jealous." Chen Ke was sullen.

"What am I jealous of?" I said.

"You are jealous that the three of them are more handsome than you, so you don't let me watch TV." Chen Ke entered the room and closed the door.

I looked at the closed door, was silent for a while, and sighed. After seeing each other for a while, I always felt that Chen Ke had changed a bit, not as well-behaved as before, and more and more separated from my father. .

Estimating the time, Tong Wangjun should be back. I went to the kitchen to steam the rice and started cooking. When the last dish was cooked, Tong Wangjun hadn’t come back yet. I waited for about 10 minutes, and finally couldn’t help calling her. Make a phone call: "When are you coming back?"

"I'm on the road now, and it takes half an hour to go back." Tong Wangjun said.

"Can't you just take a taxi and come back directly? The food is almost cold." I said.

"I'm waiting for the bus. I'm already at the bus stop." Tong Wangjun said in a tired voice, "You and A Ke can eat first, don't wait for me."

"Which bus station are you at? I'll pick you up." I said.

"What are you doing here to pick me up? I'll be home later." Tong Wangjun said.

"I'll pick you up, tell me, which station." I insisted on picking her up.

"I'm at the Wangjiadundong bus station. Don't come. The bus will arrive in a while. I'll wait for you when you come. It's a waste of time. It's not good for Ah Ke to be alone at home." Tong Wangjun said.

"You wait there. Don't get on the bus when it arrives. I'll pick you up right away." I hung up the phone as I spoke, and when I reached the door, "Ake, Dad is going to pick up Mom. You're going to be hungry." Just eat alone first, don't run around."

"Did you hear that?" Chen Ke didn't make a sound, so I asked.

"Got it, you're so annoying." Chen Ke was still angry.

I went out and drove to Wangjiadun East Station. There was not much traffic jam at this point. It took me only 10 minutes to arrive at Wangjiadun East Station by following the navigation along the nearest road. I saw Tong Wangjun in the car. On the bench at the bus stop, with his head down, his eyes stared blankly at the vehicles on the road.

I drove the car over and honked the horn. Tong Wangjun looked up, but there was no response, and he lowered his head again.

I rolled down the car window and yelled at her: "Wang Jun, get in the car."

Tong Wangjun saw me now, she looked a little surprised, looked at the car, then at me, then opened the door and sat in the co-pilot's seat.

"Sit in the back seat instead of the co-pilot," I said.

Tong Wangjun didn't listen, so he sat in the co-pilot's seat and put on his seat belt: "You bought this car?"

"Well, I just bought it today." I nodded, and the car turned around and drove back.

On the way back, I was not driving fast, so I turned my head to look at Tong Wangjun: "Why do you leave work so late, is the company going to work overtime or what?"
