What punishment is that?

Gu Chen had not kept up with Ji Pianran’s train of thought.

But the next second, he knew what Ji Pianran meant by "punishment".

It was still broad daylight outside.

Gu Chen felt helpless, but it had indeed been several days.

By four in the afternoon, it was time to pick up Tangtang from school.

Since they didn’t have a car, the two of them had to take the bus together.

Today, Tangtang was thrilled to be picked up by both Gu Chen and Ji Pianran.

"Daddy, Mommy!"

She immediately ran over, arms wide open, but seeing Gu Chen and Ji Pianran, she didn’t know who to hug first.

In the end, the clever little one hugged both Gu Chen and Ji Pianran’s legs.

"Daddy, Mommy, why are both of you picking me up today?" Tangtang asked curiously.

"Is it to give Tangtang a surprise?" Tangtang’s big watery eyes blinked.

Gu Chen realized this little one was quite clever, even learning to set traps for others.

Once that was said, whether to give the surprise or not became a question.

Not giving it now would surely disappoint the little one.

"Today Daddy is taking you to eat iron pot stew," Gu Chen told Tangtang.

"What’s iron pot stew?" Tangtang didn’t understand.

"You’ll know once you try it."

Ji Pianran also looked at Gu Chen, not understanding.

She had not mentioned anything about iron pot stew before they came, and she also did not understand what this stew was.

Not having a car was inconvenient; after the bus ride and a long walk, Gu Chen finally found a stew restaurant.

Theoretically, iron pot stew cuisine should be part of the Northeastern cuisine, a type of rural homestyle cooking.

Thinking about rural homestyle, Gu Chen thought he might also try making some iron pot stew if he ever got the chance.

But doing so right now seemed a bit premature.

The rural cuisine of iron pot stew is better suited for when urbanization is fully realized.

Making iron pot stew now isn’t as appealing to the average person as just going to the countryside and stewing something themselves.

In the years to come, when the 996 culture becomes popular and many people do nothing but work every day,

the desire to visit the countryside will be a luxury.

That’s when the real opportunity for iron pot stew will arise.

Gu Chen simply ran the concept through his mind, thinking there was still quite a lot he could do.

After arriving at the iron pot stew restaurant, Gu Chen directly ordered a whole goose.

The two of them ate to their hearts’ content, as though they had truly never tasted this kind of dish before.

Seeing their faces, Gu Chen felt a sense of satisfaction as well.

After all this hard work, all he wanted was for his wife and child to be happy.

Beyond that, nothing else seemed to matter much.

"Tangtang read in a book today that when you ’have a panoramic view of small mountains,’ Daddy, what does ’have a panoramic view of small mountains’ mean?"

While eating meat, Tangtang curiously asked Gu Chen.

"Having a panoramic view of small mountains, do you want to experience it?" Gu Chen asked Tangtang.

"Yes, yes, can I?" Tangtang was very proactive and eager to embrace new experiences.

"Perhaps not right now, but after you start elementary school, Daddy will show you what ’having a panoramic view of small mountains’ means."

Gu Chen had actually planned to take Tangtang mountain climbing directly.

But on second thought, now is the period of economic growth in China, yet the tourism industry is still far from booming.

Looking down at the smaller mountains, those steps are probably not even fully laid out yet, let alone having a cable car.

Therefore, he decided to wait a few more years when Tangtang would also be able to attend primary school, by then it should be about time to go climb some mountains.

At this moment, Ji Pianran actually had no idea what "looking down at the smaller mountains" meant, but she guessed that Gu Chen wanted to take Tangtang mountain climbing.

"Do we really have to wait until after primary school?" Tangtang was a bit disappointed.

She couldn’t wait to experience it right now.

"Don’t worry, daddy will take you to experience everything in the future," Gu Chen said to her.

He would never let Tangtang’s life be filled with any regrets; he wanted to give her a childhood that others could only envy.

For many people, the things in books could only be read about, never to be practiced.

But for Gu Chen, as long as he had the idea in his heart, there was nothing that couldn’t be achieved.

As long as he had money, he could fulfill every demand.

"Okay, okay, can mommy come with us when the time comes?" Tangtang asked again.

"Of course, our whole family can go," he reassured.

After hearing what Gu Chen said, Tangtang immediately became much happier.

After dinner, the family returned to their warm home.

On the way back, Gu Chen was pondering about tomorrow’s tasks.

The car needed to be fixed, and it seemed he would have to drive it there himself.

Besides that, Gu Chen was calculating how much money he had in total now.

If possible, he planned to buy another house and put it in Tangtang’s name.

To leave these assets for Tangtang early, ensuring she could live a life without financial worries for her second half.

These were all things Gu Chen wanted to do for Tangtang.

Currently, many places in the country hadn’t undergone development yet, and after the financial crisis, the importance of these assets would become evident.

When that time came, property values would soar, and a single redevelopment could mean tens, even hundreds of millions.

Then all Tangtang would have to do is sit back and collect money.

Moreover, in the beginning, they wouldn’t give money for redevelopment but properties instead.

And after a few years, those properties would appreciate in value, by then not only would Tangtang own so many assets, but she could also become a landlady, doing nothing but collecting rent money every month.

While Gu Chen was mulling over these plans in his mind, he actually felt a bit pleased.

In his lifetime, he had finally done something for the two of them.

Meanwhile, Ji Pianran was sleeping peacefully beside him, her face gradually showing the signs of ’happy weight gain.’

This little bit of weight gain was the fruit of Gu Chen’s efforts.

Two days passed like this.

The renovations at the flower shop were finally complete, the materials Gu Chen had ordered from the factory were all finished, including the flyers he had printed.

Everything was ready; the only thing left was to hang up a signboard.

Gu Chen drove the repaired car to the flower shop.

In the shop, Old Zhang was wiping down the freshly renovated room, cleaning away all the dust meticulously.

Such dedication and responsibility were exceptionally rare.

Gu Chen got out of the car and entered the shop.

Everything was set up just as Gu Chen had designed.

Against the walls on the left and right sides were rows of wooden shelves for displaying fresh flowers.

At the same time, some murals could also be hung on the walls.

This added a touch of charm to the flower shop.

"Boss Gu, what do you think?"
