American comics: May the Holy Light deceive you

Chapter 89 "The Zhang Family" - 4

Ten minutes later, the three left the small shop. Xiao Shengxi was holding a Pikachu and a bear-shaped cotton candy, Monica was holding a flower-shaped cotton candy, and Vega was holding several strings of candied hawthorns.

The three of them quickly left Jinan Road, which was both familiar and unfamiliar to Vega, and headed west.

Little Shengxi: "Daddy, aren't we going to see Great-Auntie?"

Vega: "My great-aunt is getting old and now lives in her hometown with my great-uncle."

Little Shengxi: "Then we can go see them too."

"Shut up, or I'll send you back." Monica said sternly. She had already agreed not to cause trouble for that person in this world, and her daughter just needed to be taught a lesson.

"Oh." Little Shengxi was unhappy. Taking advantage of Monica's inattention, she reached out and grabbed a handful of the flower-shaped cotton candy that Monica was reluctant to eat, then hid in Vega's arms: "Aww, so delicious."

"You!" Monica was furious. Her husband had finally managed to be romantic, and this brat was just causing trouble.

Monica managed to hold back her anger, but secretly resolved to give her daughter a good talking-to when she got back.

"Don't be angry, I'll punish her for you." Vega tried to smooth things over, gently patting his daughter's back a few times as a form of discipline.

"You just spoil her." Monica rolled her eyes at her husband, looked at the ruined cotton candy with pity, hesitated for a moment, and then put it to her mouth to eat.

Vega didn't seem to care: "She's my only precious little one, how can I not spoil her?"

Little Shengxi: "Mmm, Daddy is so good, I love you the most."

Vega: "How about Daddy gets a bite of Pikachu?"

Xiao Shengxi immediately shook her head, her attitude very firm: "No, Pikachu is my good friend, I can't eat it!"

Vega: "And what about the unlucky bear?"

Xiao Shengxi: "They're good friends too!"

Vega feigned sadness: "Then how can you prove you love Daddy?"

"Mua, mua, mua." Without hesitation, Little Shengxi immediately kissed Vega's face several times with her sticky little mouth, and only then did Vega show a satisfied smile.

Chatting and laughing, the three arrived at a crossroads.

Vega led the two into the large supermarket at the southeast corner of the intersection, bought two fruit baskets, and then crossed the intersection to continue walking west.

Little Shengxi asked curiously, "Daddy, who are we going to see?"

Vega: "Go see a great group of people."

Little Shengxi: "Huh? Are there a lot of people? Two fruit baskets won't be enough, will they?"

Vega: "They don't care about these things; they're happy as long as someone visits them."

"Oh." Little Shengxi was confused. Didn't we agree not to cause trouble for Dad in this world?

Vega touched his daughter's small breasts without explaining, saying she would understand when they arrived at their destination.

After walking more than 200 meters, Vega saw a man sitting on the ground, smoking and repairing an electric tricycle.

The man was in his fifties, very fat, and had a persistent cough.

Vega glanced at the other person, but didn't bother him. Instead, he deliberately minimized the presence of the three of them.

Monica noticed and asked softly, "Honey, do you know that gentleman?"

Vega nodded: "Yes, I've always had my electric bikes repaired by him."

He used to be very introverted. He wouldn't go to places he wasn't familiar with, but once he went there, he would most likely go a second, third, or even Nth time.

Internet cafes are like this, noodle shops are like this, supermarkets are like this, and the electric bike repair shop in front is like this too.

How did you meet Uncle Guozhong?

A few years ago, he collided with a man driving a cargo electric tricycle while riding his electric motorcycle. The man brought him here to repair his electric motorcycle. Because he was missing body parts, he left his electric motorcycle here and rode Uncle Guozhong's electric motorcycle home.

That's how the two met. Over the next few years, he always came here for car repairs and battery replacements, and over time, they became familiar with each other.

Listening to her father's words, Xiao Shengxi leaned on her father's shoulder and secretly watched the chubby Grandpa Guozhong. After watching for a while, she whispered in her father's ear, "Dad, this grandpa keeps coughing, but why is he still smoking one cigarette after another?"

"That's how he is." Vega shrugged, then moved his fingers and quietly injected a wisp of holy light into Uncle Guozhong's body.

It's a weak power, but it can slowly improve Uncle Guozhong's body and gradually purify those harmful substances.

The three walked past Uncle Guozhong without him noticing, as he kept his head down inspecting the electric tricycle.

"Cough cough, no wonder it was making that rattling sound. The half-shaft broke. Cough cough, the bearings are probably worn down to the point where the balls are gone. They probably all need to be replaced."

"How much?"

"I need to take it apart and check it first. Cough cough, it won't cost much. We've been friends for so many years, would I rip you off? Cough cough cough..."

"Okay, go ahead and dismantle it."

"Hmm, hand me that blue electric wrench, cough cough, and then go to the trolley on the steps and get the 22 socket wrench, cough cough, it's in the metal box on the far side."

"Is this it?"

"Yes, that's it, cough cough cough..."

"Hey, Guozhong, you're coughing like that, you shouldn't smoke."

"Cough cough, it's nothing. I get more energy to work when I'm smoking, pfft."

Uncle Guozhong took the electric wrench and socket, then turned his head to the west and spat out the butt of one of those black cigars that cost six yuan a pack.

"Wow, what a beautiful baby." Uncle Guozhong blinked and saw little Shengxi, who had walked away but was still perched on Vega's shoulder looking this way.

After praising Xiao Shengxi, he glanced at Vega and Monica's retreating figures, then turned around, lit another cigarette, and muttered, "That little wife has such a great figure, how did she end up marrying such a fat man?"

Little Shengxi: "Dad, that grandpa said you're a big fat guy."

Monica covered her mouth and chuckled, while Vega rolled his eyes in exasperation. "Who are you calling a fat man, old man? Say it again and see!"

Uncle Guozhong just made a casual remark, then he installed the socket wrench and started removing the tires.

Mmm~, mmm~......

A deep voice sounded, and Vega and his two companions walked further and further away.

There are many shops selling electric bicycles, tricycles and four-wheeled vehicles on both sides of this half street. Vega looked around, then took his daughter and wife into a shop and picked out a white four-wheeled electric vehicle that looked like an SUV.

After paying the money, I put on a green license plate (electric D·88888) and drove away.

"This license plate isn't real, is it?" Monica hesitated, having just seen dozens of identical license plates.

Vega: "Yes, the management of these trams is not perfect at present. As long as you don't violate traffic regulations in front of the traffic police, no one cares in such a small county."

After waiting at the intersection for a while until no more cars were crossing, Vega drove across the intersection and onto the road ahead, where the **Martyrs' Cemetery Archway stood...
