Chapter 222 Family
Luo Zhi was amused and crying. In the end, she could not withstand Wen Qian's persuasion and agreed to go to Huo's house for the New Year's Eve dinner on New Year's Eve.
When Huo Zhen came back, he knew about this and even joked with her: "You don't listen when I mentioned this, and you agreed immediately as soon as my mother did. You are too disrespectful to me, right?"
Luo Zhi rolled his eyes at him: "When you grow to Aunt Wen's age and become my elder, I will definitely treat you like Aunt Wen. So, you should work hard first!"
No matter how long he grows, he can't become Luo Zhi's elder, right?
However, for Luo Zhi treats his mother as her elders, he doesn't care about these things with Luo Zhi anymore.
Luo Zhi looked at her face without caring, as if it was no different from usual, but in fact she was very nervous.
Although she was just going to Huo’s house for a meal, it was a New Year’s Eve dinner! At that time, there were probably not many people on the table, so she had to learn how to chat with unfamiliar people.
In addition, she is a guest at home, so she can't go there empty-handedly, right?
But if she prepared a gift for everyone of Huo Zhen alone, she was really afraid that her small wallet would not be able to bear it, and it seemed too cautious.
Luo Zhi thought about it privately and then, but she finally decided to go to the supermarket first to see if there is anything suitable for New Year gifts.
Because it was a gift for the Huo family, Luo Zhi did not bring Huo Zhen to the supermarket this time, but went there alone.
As the New Year approaches, major supermarkets are very prosperous recently, and there are more people coming to buy large-scale purchases than before. There are rows of cash registers lined up with people who want to check out, and they are all pushing shopping carts that are full of carts, as if they really want to empty the supermarket.
Luo Zhi had never thought about what to buy, but she saw the people coming and going in the supermarket carrying big red gift boxes of similar shapes. The difference was almost the size of the gift boxes. She simply followed the crowd and focused on various luxuriously packaged gift boxes.
Pushing the shopping cart full, Luo Zhi was moving slowly in the crowded supermarket.
Suddenly, a child came out of the shelf next to him.
The child seemed to be looking for some snacks, but he didn't pay attention when he came out, and suddenly bumped into Luo Zhi's shopping cart.
"Ouch!"
The child rushed out so hard that although Luo Zhi didn't move much, he fell to the ground and screamed.
Luo Zhi suddenly felt a little sneer in her heart.
I have been living a very comfortable life recently, and even my vigilance has been reduced so much, and I can still be hit by a child!
Even though this is not her fault at all, she can at least avoid it!
"Little boy, are you okay?" Luo Zhi quickly stepped forward and helped the person up, "Where did you fall? Where are your adults?"
"I'm sorry sister." The little boy lowered his head and said embarrassedly, "I shouldn't have run around and hit your car."
After all, it was in the middle of winter, and everyone dressed a lot when going out. Although the little boy looked heavy when he fell, he actually suffered no injuries and didn't even get any skin broken. At most, it would be a pain for a while.
Luo Zhi didn't expect that the little boy would say this, and she had a good impression of him for a moment.
"Where is your lord?" Luo Zhi asked.
This boy looks like he should be eight or nine years old, but generally speaking, there are few parents who ask children of this age to go out to the supermarket alone?
Especially at this point in time.
"My parents are on the side of daily necessities, and I will come to them later..." The little boy raised his head guiltily, "Sister, I just ran around and bumped into your shopping cart, you won't complain to my parents, right?"
Luo Zhi was distracted for a moment now.
The little boy in front of him had just kept his head down. Because of the angle, Luo Zhi had not seen his appearance clearly before, and only regarded him as an irrelevant passerby.
But now, she realized that the world is sometimes big, but sometimes it is small.
She had just seen the photo of this little boy a few days ago, but she didn't expect that she would meet him today, and she was in a supermarket!
That’s right, this boy is Mai Zijian, who is suspected to be Luo Zhi’s younger brother!
Although Mai Zijian only politely called Luo Zhi "sister", once he matched his identity, Luo Zhi immediately felt a completely different feeling.
She didn't even know whether this feeling belonged to the original body or her own.
So, is this her younger brother in this life?
She looks quite stupid, which is what netizens often call cuteness. However, compared with the photos, Mai Zijian seems to be thinner and more energetic. She is indeed a handsome guy whom she loves.
"Sister? Sister?" Mai Zijian reached out and shook her eyes before Luo Zhi could answer.
Luo Zhi came to her senses and she smiled unconsciously at Mai Zijian: "Don't worry, I won't complain to your parents. However, if you really fall, remember to tell me that you don't hide it from the adults. Otherwise, the only one who suffers in the end will be you."
"I understand." Mai Zijian kept nodding.
Although Luo Zhi was very moved, she did not intend to recognize Mai Zijian, nor did she intend to say more to Mai Zijian. After saying that, she said goodbye to Mai Zijian as usual, and pushed the shopping cart to the cashier to check out.
"Maizi, who did you just talk to?" Shortly after Luo Zhi left, Dou Jiayi walked over from behind the shelves, and Mai Jingzhe, who was pushing a shopping cart, was following her.
It seems that the family of three went out to buy a lot.
"Mom, can you call my full name in the future? Don't call my nickname again?" Mai Zijian frowned, "My former classmates followed you to call me Maizi, and they have been laughing at me for two years! Now I have finally changed school, can't you give me some face?"
Dou Jiayi's gentle face suddenly turned dark: "Do you have such an objection to your nickname? Mom can't even shout it in the future?"
Mai Jingzhe quietly glared at Mai Zijian and signaled that he would not make his mother angry.
Mai Zijian had to lower his head and said, "Mom, that's not what I mean. I just want to say, when you are at home, you can call me whatever you want. But when you go outside, you can just call me your full name!"
