I have ten trillion licking dog gold

Chapter 1586

Golden Phoenix Square.

It is adjacent to the moat.

It's just across the bridge.

It used to be the top choice for residents of Dongmen to take walks and play, but as the city gradually declined and more and more people moved out of the city, this once bustling square became increasingly deserted.

in the afternoon.

Furthermore, the area was sparsely populated.

I remember that in the past, vendors would set up their stalls here starting from noon to do business.

The other side.

The ancient city wall stands there like a silent old man, always peacefully watching over its descendants.

"Uncle, are you a lawyer too?"

The little boy, Wei Wuji, breathed in the fresh air.

For children of this age, mental health is far more important than academics, so Mr. and Mrs. Fang Weiguo specially asked Jiang Chen and Fang Qing to take him out for a walk.

Have you ever seen such a handsome lawyer?

Being with Boss Jiang, even if it wasn't exactly a happy experience, it certainly wouldn't make him depressed, and the little boy was amused and secretly smiled.

"What are you laughing at? Am I not handsome?"

A breeze blew across the Ma River as Jiang Chen walked beside the boy, unhurried and relaxed.

What is he thinking right now?
turn out to be--

He's reached the age where he should be called "uncle".

"Uncle is definitely not a lawyer."

Wei Wuji decisively avoided the question of whether someone was handsome or not; after all, children don't lie.
"why?"

"Because lawyers don't care whether they are handsome or not."

"..."

Jiang Chen smiled and reached out to pat the boy's head. "You must have good grades at school, right?"

The boy, his face flushed with embarrassment, said, "Only in the top ten."

Jiang Chen's smile widened, and he vigorously rubbed the boy's head again.

"That's enough. You can't be any better. If you are any better, you won't be able to be a bricklayer in the future."

What does it mean to be relentless in ruining people?

It's mostly because he knows the man's father is in jail; otherwise, if the father found out, he'd definitely punch him.

The boy suddenly quieted down, not minding the other person ruffling his hair. He tilted his head and silently looked at Boss Jiang.

"What are you looking at me doing?"

Jiang Chen rubbed it again.

What kind of good person is he? He only bullies children.

“When I said I wanted to be a bricklayer, they all laughed at me, saying that my uncle was different from them.”

Upon hearing the praise, Boss Jiang remained "calm and composed," finally letting the other party off the hook and withdrawing his hand.

“Those people are short-sighted. When you grow up, the world will be completely transformed. At that time, the most scarce skill will be that of skilled workers. Bricklayers will definitely become a higher-paying and more respected profession than they are now. Wei Wuji, you are very farsighted.”

Wei Wuji's eyes brightened. "Really?"

"Uncle is a big shot; he never lies to children."

The boy blinked: "An important person?"

Mr. Jiang stood tall and proud, his demeanor calm and composed. "Hmm."

"How big is it?"

"Bigger than anyone you've ever seen."

"boast."

Wei Wuji said, "I have met our school's principal!"

"..."

Mr. Jiang was speechless, probably because a crow had flown overhead.

Ok.

In the world of children.

The principal is a very important person.

Fang Qing, who had been silently following behind, stopped eavesdropping, quickened her pace, caught up with the two, and walked side by side.

"I'm curious what you'll be like when you're old."

As she spoke, she handed the popsicles she had bought to the two children, one big and one small, and kept one for herself.

Physical appearance may wither, and wealth may fade, but a rich soul is immortal.

Jiang Chen smiled wryly, gazing at the statue in the distance, "That must be a charming middle-aged man."

"An old man who talks nonsense?"

Boss Jiang pretended not to hear and took the popsicle. "Do you still sell green tongue popsicles?"

He had this popsicle before when he was a child, and he was particularly fond of it. It was very chewy and bouncy, like jelly, and it would even stretch out after melting.

Fang Qing's choice of this popsicle is very appropriate for the occasion.

That's why they say the telepathic connection between people is something you can only hope to encounter once in a lifetime.

"Thank you auntie."

The boy politely accepted the popsicle. "Uncle, did you eat Green Tongue popsicles when you were little?"

"What's wrong? Do you look down on your uncle?"

Jiang Chen said, "Uncle used to eat McDonald's when he was a kid."

If it weren't for the child in between, Fang Qing would have kicked him again.

"Do you want McDonald's? It's on me."

Jiang Chen was unusually generous. In fact, he did eat McDonald's when he was a child, but only once or twice a year, on his birthday or other special celebratory occasions.

There's a McDonald's on the first floor of the shopping mall across the street.

"Thank you, Uncle. I'm not hungry now."

Having just eaten, Jiang Chen wasn't hungry. He bit into a green tongue and said, "Tell Uncle when you want some."

To be honest, the way he kept calling me "uncle" in that old-fashioned way really did give him a bit of an elder's air about him.

The Golden Phoenix Square is named as such because a huge phoenix statue stands in the center of the square, gleaming in the sunlight as if it were about to spread its wings and take flight. The base is as tall as an adult, and Jiang Chen remembers climbing up it to play cards when he was a child.

Further ahead of the Golden Phoenix Statue is a children's playground, but business is terrible even in broad daylight, with ticket sellers dozing off.

"in or out?"

Jiang Chen asked while eating the green tongue.

The little boy, Wei Wuji, shook his head, but his eyes remained fixed on the amusement equipment, unwilling to look away.

"I'll go buy the tickets."

Jiang Chenqian, who had wanted to play but couldn't afford it before, made a bold decision and was exceptionally generous. He went to the ticket office and spent 100 yuan to buy an all-access ticket.

"Play however you like."

He walked back and showed the ticket stub.

The little boy held the popsicle, looking embarrassed.

"When you grow up and earn money, remember to pay me back."

Jiang Chen was serious and earnest.

The little boy's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously, "Okay! Pinky promise!"

"Hook!"

Fang Qing witnessed two fingers, one big and one small, hooked together.

Wei Wuji quickly devoured the popsicle and then excitedly boarded the pirate ship.

Jiang Chen leaned his elbow against the railing, eating a green tongue.

One advantage of this popsicle is that it lasts a long time and you don't have to worry about it melting into water.

"You're great at taking care of kids."

Fang Qing stood to the side, watching the boy who had temporarily forgotten his troubles, leisurely eating his popsicle, just like someone else.

However, unlike someone who deliberately stretches her green tongue out long, she bites it off after it melts.

"Let me tell you a trick."

"What's the trick?"

"Think about what kind of adults you needed when you were a child, and you'll know how to get along with your children. Being the kind of adult you needed when you were a child is the shortcut to becoming a good parent."

If he weren't lazily leaning against the railing, licking his long green tongue, he would command respect.

"Can you please stop being so lewd?"

"Sleazy?"

Jiang Chen tilted his head, then realized that the other person was referring to how he ate popsicles, and immediately replied, "Whatever color is in a person's heart, that's the color they see in the world."

Fang Qing stopped, choosing not to continue arguing.

They've been fighting for so many years.

Still fighting?

I'm getting tired of it.

No matter what.

It's time to change the format.

For example, on the lips?

"When will his father be released?"

Fang Qing looked at the excited boy on the pirate ship.

This is a privilege bestowed upon children by God; they are easily distracted and will not fall into suffering.

However, this trial card is time-limited and will be gradually taken away as you get older.

"His father has been taken away by the inspection team."

"The inspection team?"

"Hmm." Damn it.

The green tongue was hanging too long and unfortunately broke, falling to the ground.

Jiang Chen was extremely annoyed.

"Pfft."

Fang Qing beamed with joy.

Want to play?

Outside the bumper car arena, Wei Wuji's eyes gleamed with longing.

The administrator inquired.

"Go and play with him."

Mr. Jiang said that he was probably feeling down because the green tongue had fallen off.

"Let's have fun together as a family, it's a rare opportunity."

The administrator is very good at sales.

a family of three?
Do I look that big?

But you can't blame them.

With the amusement park doing so poorly, how can they afford to hire young people? The facility managers are all elderly men and women, at least fifty years old, and inevitably some of them have failing eyesight.

"Are you offering a discount?"

Fang Qing seemed oblivious to the other party's misunderstanding of her words.

The all-access pass is only for children; they need to buy tickets to play.

The manager hesitated for a moment, but didn't dawdle for too long before readily saying, "One ticket is enough for both parents."

"make a deal."

Fang Qing led the child inside, leaving someone with the words, "Pay up."

Three people and three cars collided wildly inside the stadium.

"Hit him!"

Fang Qing and the little boy Wei Wuji formed a united front to launch a siege against a certain person.

Shouts and laughter echoed back and forth amidst the sounds of collisions.

The all-access ticket was excellent value for money, and the family of three spent half an afternoon at the amusement park.

Instead of going home for dinner, Fang Qing called her parents and then sat down at McDonald's, which was just across the street from the square.

More than ten years have passed, but McDonald's prices remain the same, and even with group-buying deals, they are still much cheaper.

"Today's children are truly born in the best of times."

Jiang Chen, acting as both a payment machine and a waiter, climbed up to the second floor and put down the tray that was full of food.

"Uncle, consider this money a loan from me."

The little boy, Wei Wuji, was very principled.

But Boss Jiang wasn't buying it. "So, you're treating us to this meal?"

Wei Wuji was embarrassed.

"If you become a bricklayer in the future and don't cut corners, then you'll have paid us back."

Fang Qing is also humorous.

Mr. Jiang was dissatisfied and immediately emphasized, "It's my money. How did it become our money?"

"Uncle, aren't you and Auntie family?"

Wei Wuji whispered.

How do you know we're family?

"Aren't boyfriends and girlfriends family?"

How did you know we were boyfriend and girlfriend?

Jiang Chen sat down next to Qingmei and continued to ask.

"Uncle, I know."

Wei Wuji gave off an air of knowing everything.

Also.

Because of the development of the internet, children in this era are much more mature than their generation.

"Your aunt is so beautiful, and she's a lawyer too. Do you think he would respect me?"

Fang Qing sipped her cola without saying a word.

"Isn't Uncle a big shot?"

Jiang Chen was speechless for a moment, then said, "Didn't you not believe me?"

"I believe."

The little boy stared intently at Jiang Chen, saying, "Uncle must be very remarkable, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to win over Auntie. Just like my mom, if it weren't for my dad being a bricklayer who paints walls so well, they wouldn't have gotten married."

"..."

Jiang Chen choked, finding himself at a loss for words.

Fang Qing bit down on the straw, trying hard to suppress the urge to smile.

Is it possible that your aunt pursued me?

After a moment of silence, Jiang Chen spoke.

"despair."

This time, the person learned from previous mistakes and moved their foot away in advance, thus avoiding disaster.

"I do not believe."

The little boy grabbed the hamburger.

"Why don't you believe me? Your aunt has been pursuing me for decades. She started chasing me even before she was older than you."

The little boy glanced at Fang Qing discreetly.

"How could that be? Auntie was only a few years old back then..."

"Don't you have a girl you like?"

Jiang Chen asked.

Strangely, the little boy remained silent.

Jiang Chen was not entirely surprised.

"The stories between people are actually determined from the very first glance."

He picked up a piece of honey-glazed chicken wing and put it in his mouth.

The little boy seemed convinced, probably thinking of one of his female classmates, "But we're so young, how can we be together when we grow up..."

He didn't express himself very clearly, but Jiang Chen seemed to understand what he meant.

"Aren't your aunt and I an example? Who says childhood crushes can't last? If you're not together, it just means it's not over yet."

Fang Qing sipped her cola, her eyes serene.

The little boy seemed to understand, took a bite of his hamburger, and after a while said, "But what if she doesn't like me being a bricklayer?"

Not to mention Jiang Chen, even Fang Qing couldn't help but laugh out loud.

So this child really does have someone he likes or has a crush on.

Criticize someone for being precocious?

After all, they are not real parents, and who is arranged to marry someone from childhood?

They have no right to educate others.

"She doesn't like you being a bricklayer because she hasn't seen your skills. Wait until you've personally renovated a beautiful, big house and then invite her to see it; she'll definitely think she's very naive now."

Fang Qing's expression was strange; she was really struggling to hold back, but the little boy didn't think so.

"Okay! Thank you, Uncle. I know what to do."

Jiang Chen nodded with satisfaction. "Eat."

What is McDonald's main customer base?
Parents with children.

Although the little boy seemed to have a lot of fun and was very engrossed in playing all afternoon, without mentioning his father at all, the envious look in his eyes as he secretly observed the happy and harmonious families around him clearly showed that he was suppressing his true emotions.

"Eat until you're full, and then your dad will come to pick you up."

Jiang Chen said.

The little boy was taken aback.

"really?"

"What did Uncle just say to you?"

"Uncle is an important person, he wouldn't lie to a child!"

"Bingo!"

Jiang Chen snapped his fingers. "So don't look anymore."

"Ok!"

The little boy grabbed the hamburger and began to eat it with gusto.

Kowloon Bridge.

It spans the moat, connects to the east gate, with vehicles passing through the middle and pedestrians walking on both sides.
