Chapter 332: Chapter 124: The Ultimate Gift Pack Revolution! A Battle with One’s Back to the River? The Electric Meter Reverses!_3

He had been chatting for about ten minutes, and after saying goodbye to Zhang, Ke Jun walked briskly toward the vegetable market.

Arriving at the familiar vegetable stall.

Observing the fresh, plump tomatoes, Ke Jun asked.

"Sis, how much for the tomatoes today?"

"I sell them to others for five yuan and twenty, but for you, an old acquaintance, I’ll make it five yuan per jin."

Upon hearing this, Ke Jun’s brows twitched ever so slightly.

Jin?

Ke Jin!

"Yo, sis, you’ve heard about my son Ke Jin winning the annual Best Artist Award, haven’t you?"

"Huh?"

"Ah, I really don’t like to talk about it everywhere; it’s not like it’s something to show off. It’s mainly because... yesterday, well..."

...

Cradling lively prawns, several crabs stuffed with rich roe, a plump and fresh perch, along with other assorted crisp greens.

Ke Jun emerged from the market, his steps light and swift, as he walked joyfully on his way home.

After entering the neighborhood, he encountered a group of elderly men playing chess in the community.

During his idle hours when he was not fishing, Ke Jun also enjoyed joining the elders for a game of chess.

As he passed by, the group of old men caught hold of him, calling him over for a couple of rounds.

"No, no," Ke Jun shook the bags of vegetables in his hand, "the wife is waiting; we’ll talk some other time."

"Ho, expecting guests at home? All these fine vegetables," the group of old men laughed.

"Nah, just my rotten kid coming back home after a few days out, his mom is doting on him, cooking him some nice food," Ke Jun said, ready to leave with the vegetables in hand.

Then he heard the old men laugh again, "What’s been keeping Ke’s kid so busy lately, haven’t seen him in a long time."

And then, they saw Ke Jun, who had already walked a distance away, come to an abrupt halt.

Turning around, he walked back.

Hanging the vegetables on a nearby tree branch.

He sat down directly at the chessboard edge, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "It’s a long story, let’s play and talk."

...

Finally, under the repeated phone calls from Mrs. Ke urging him.

Ke Jun at last made it home with the groceries.

Mrs. Ke gave him a sideways glance with annoyance.

"Did you go all the way to Australia to buy groceries? You’ve been out since 7, and what time is it now? Two hours!"

"I couldn’t help it. Just now, on the road, so many old acquaintances stopped me to ask about Ke Jin’s silly business, and you know my profession, as a teacher, I have to answer their questions."

"Hmph." Knowing her husband’s temper all too well, Mrs. Ke clearly did not believe Ke Jun’s tall tales.

The old man had probably been out showing off.

Mrs. Ke took one look at the vegetables he brought, saw that the shrimp were wilted, and her mood soured even more. "Look at these vegetables! Why didn’t you just also tell the kangaroos in Australia about your son’s glorious achievements? Show off!"

Ke Jun immediately bristled, "What kind of talk is that? Our son has made something of himself. The dogs in the neighborhood don’t know he won an award because I, as his father, have a duty to inform them!"

"You’re all confident now, but wait until Ke Jin and Yu come back. I hope you can chat with them just as well instead of avoiding the topic all the time."

"Don’t worry, I’ve already thought about how to talk to them," Ke Jun had just finished speaking.

When the sound of keys came from outside the door.

Soon, Ke Jin entered with a small suitcase, and Ke Yu followed right behind him, bursting through the door with a smile, "Dad, Mom, we’re back from the team building~!"

"Alright, you two rest up, we’ll eat in a bit." Seeing her two children home safe, Mrs. Ke’s face lit up with a smile. She put on an apron and then added, "By the way, your dad just said he wants to talk to you about something... Eh? Where did he go?"

Mrs. Ke’s eyes blinked.

The old man who had been standing in front of her had suddenly disappeared.

Her gaze shifted to the living room sofa.

There, Ke was sitting on the couch with legs crossed, reading the newspaper without a smile, appearing serious and distant.

Then, without a trace of emotion, he glanced at the siblings, and after a moment shifted his gaze back and calmly said, "Talk about what? There’s nothing much to talk about; it’s all too trivial."

After speaking, he immersed himself back in the newspaper, reading intently without uttering another word.

Ke Jin: "?"

Ke Yu: "?"

Mrs. Ke: "..."
