Tech Dominator Starts with Raising Kids-Chapter 149: Being a Good Person

"Here, this is a gift for you. Do you like it?"

Mo Jingchun handed the laptop to his cousin Zhou Yaling and winked.

"An Apple laptop?"

Zhou Yaling was completely dumbfounded. Even if you have money, you shouldn’t spend it like this. The laptop she’s currently using was only bought less than a year ago, and she thought it was good enough.

"Take it. Guoguo won it in a raffle."

Originally feeling quite touched, Zhou Yaling lost all her feelings of gratitude when Mo Jingchun spoke.

It turns out that their gifts were all carefully prepared, but when it came to her, it was a raffle prize.

It’s true what they say, a woman’s heart is like a needle in the sea.

One moment, Zhou Yaling was giggling, and the next, she had a stern face towards Mo Jingchun. She stopped helping him take gifts from the trunk and headed towards Candy cutely.

"Candy, come let sister give you a hug."

Zhou Yaling picked up Candy, pinched her nose, and said with a gentle smile, "Did Candy miss sister?"

Candy’s little eyes turned, and she nodded with a smile.

"Missed you, Guoguo really missed sister."

"Really? Hahaha."

"Later, sister will take you to the supermarket."

"Okay, okay."

Mo Jingchun, carrying a pile of gifts into the house, just placed them on the large table when he heard Zhou Yaling planning to take Candy to the supermarket.

"Why are you taking Candy to the supermarket? I’m telling you, Candy can eat you into poverty."

"Tsk!" Zhou Yaling gave Mo Jingchun a disdainful look.

"I also have my own little savings, alright."

Mo Jingchun watched his cousin Zhou Yaling say nothing. She would realize he wasn’t kidding once they returned from the supermarket.

Since Candy was a little over one year old, every time they went to the supermarket, Mo Jingchun would almost always satisfy whatever Candy wanted.

As expected, after Zhou Yaling took Candy to the supermarket, if Candy picked too many items and couldn’t pay, how embarrassing would that be?

Probably so embarrassing that she could dig out a 150-square-meter house with her toes.

"Humph, let’s go, Candy."

"Go to the supermarket with sister."

Before they left, Mo Jingchun pointed at the smart watch on Candy’s wrist.

The smart watch was linked to Mo Jingchun’s Alipay, enabling QR code payments.

The two, one big and one small, joyfully headed to the supermarket, but once there, it wasn’t long before Zhou Yaling couldn’t keep smiling.

Holding a pile of things Candy picked out, Zhou Yaling followed behind Candy, her eyes somewhat vacant.

Despite looking short, Candy’s small legs ran so fast that Zhou Yaling couldn’t keep up.

When it came time to pay, Zhou Yaling was completely dumbfounded.

Why were all the items Candy chose so expensive?

"The total is 1,365 yuan and 70 cents, we’ll just charge you 1,365 yuan."

In the countryside, when amounts are large and have change, the fractional part often gets rounded off.

Zhou Yaling felt distressed. Luckily, the total didn’t exceed her small savings, otherwise, Mo Jingchun’s words might have come true.

Just as Zhou Yaling was about to pay with her phone, Candy skillfully opened the QR code and lifted her chubby little hand.

"Sister, scan to pay."

Before Zhou Yaling could react, the cashier had already scanned the code and received the payment.

For a moment, Zhou Yaling felt all out of sorts. Her once fair and soft face instantly turned red.

Don’t ask why Zhou Yaling knew she was blushing. Anyone who feels their face suddenly become hot knows it’s from embarrassment.

On the way back, it was completely different from when they went.

When they went, both the big and the small ones were happy and in good spirits.

However, on the way back, only Candy walking ahead was very happy, while Zhou Yaling, carrying things, felt uncomfortable all over.

Zhou Yaling had no idea how to face Mo Jingchun later. Given Mo Jingchun’s personality, he would definitely tease her about it all day.

"You’re back?"

Holding a teacup, Mo Jingchun, who was drinking tea in the yard, just asked when he saw the two return, not delivering the sarcastic remarks Zhou Yaling anticipated.

"Where are Uncle and Aunt?"

Sitting on a chair watching Candy play with her newly unboxed toy, Zhou Yaling replied in a bad mood, "They’ve gone to work, they’ll come back tonight."

"Gone to do some renovations again?"

"Yeah."

In the countryside, having a craft and doing renovations can make for a decent living.

Many older folks basically don’t have any source of income.

Only now, with better policies, they can receive a few hundred yuan in pensions every month. Before, they would have to rely entirely on their children.

At noon, Zhou Yaling cooked the meal.

One must say, a cook is a cook, the same dish just tastes better when Zhou Yaling makes it.

You can see Candy hugging the bowl, devouring the food.

Mo Jingchun gave Candy some more greens and said, "Eat slowly, no one’s going to take it from you."

"Mmph mmph... but it’s so delicious."

"If Candy wants to eat, let her. Why bother her," the grandpa nearby seemed displeased to see Mo Jingchun bugging Candy.

Mo Jingchun shrugged his shoulders, not daring to retort.

In the evening, it was dark by the time Uncle and Aunt rode back on the motorcycle.

Covered in cement slurry, you could tell how tiring their work had been during the day.

"Xiaochun’s here too?"

"I’m back."

Hearing the voices, Candy ran out from the room sweetly calling, "Uncle~ Aunt~"

"Oh, isn’t this our little Guoguo."

"When did you get back?"

"I came this morning."

After teasing Candy a bit, Uncle went for a bath. The mix of sweat and cement had left his body feeling terribly uncomfortable.

During dinner, perhaps because Uncle had a bit of alcohol, he began to give both Mo Jingchun and Zhou Yaling a lesson in life.

"Xiaochun, treat it like home when you come. You don’t have to bring so many things; the things you buy are too expensive."

Mo Jingchun took a bite of food and replied with a smile, "Even when you go home, you have to bring gifts."

"You child," Zhou Xing shook his head.

"I visited the office building of your company once previously for no reason, it must have cost a fortune, right?"

Mo Jingchun nodded and said, "It did cost quite a lot, 30 million more than expected."

Hearing Mo Jingchun mention 30 million, Zhou Xing’s hand, which was picking up peanuts, trembled, dropping them to the ground.

The concept of 30 million, Zhou Xing didn’t quite grasp, he just knew it was a lot, a lot.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Xing advised Mo Jingchun, "Xiaochun, I don’t understand any of your high-tech stuff."

"Your parents don’t have the fortune to enjoy life with you, don’t blame your uncle for being talkative, but having money, don’t stray from the right path, got it?"

"Got it."

"Rest assured, Uncle, my company often collaborates with the military."

"So Uncle, you can be one hundred and twenty percent reassured."
