After the female supporting character in the quick transmigration series realized her mistakes

Chapter 251 The Awakening of a Single Mother (Part 7)

She's at the school gate right now, waiting for her son to come out, and then the two of them will go to the market together in a little while.

As soon as Wenxuan stepped out of the school gate, he saw his mother waiting for him there. In the past, his mother would usually go grocery shopping, and he would go home by himself after school.

Wenxuan skipped over like a little monkey, hugged his mother's arm tightly, and said coquettishly, "Mom, why did you have time to pick me up today?"

"Of course it's because Mommy missed you, my little darling, otherwise I wouldn't have come!"

Wenxuan was unhappy and pouted, saying, "Mom never came to pick me up before, did she not miss me?"

Oh dear, the more Wenxuan thought about it, the sadder he felt!

Wen Chan burst into laughter, "You little rascal, you've got a real knack for it! When haven't I seen you thinking that?"

Wenxuan gave his mother a playful snort, "Well, who told you to say that you came to pick me up because you missed me? How could I not misunderstand?"

"Okay, okay, Mom misspoke, alright? Let's hurry up and go, otherwise the road will be blocked and we won't be able to move later."

Wen Chan gently rubbed her son's head, took his little hand, and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go grocery shopping together today, and then go home and cook something delicious. What do you want to eat today? Let's go buy it together."

They hadn't walked far when they arrived at the market. At the market entrance...

Some elderly women from the countryside are selling fresh vegetables they grew themselves.

However, Wen Chan doesn't buy from them. She tried to buy from them a few times before and was ripped off, so now she stays far away from them.

These old ladies may look pitiful, but when it comes to ripping people off, they're ruthless.

Moreover, these local old ladies look down on outsiders. Even if you get ripped off, they won't be afraid to argue with you.

When Wen Chan first arrived, she suffered a few losses, but now she doesn't even glance at the market and walks straight in.

The market has only legitimate stalls with clearly marked prices, so there's no risk of overcharging customers.

Yes, there are. Even if this place doesn't have what you want, you can always go to the next one.

Wen Chan held her son's hand tightly, looking around as she pondered what dishes to make today.

"Ah Xuan, what would you like to eat today?"

Wenxuan thought for a moment and replied, "I want to eat pork kidneys. Stir-fried pork kidneys are delicious."

"Okay, let's go see if we have any pork kidneys left, and buy some loofah to make a loofah and egg soup."

As they walked, they looked around and saw a stall selling pig's feet. Wen Chan bought one, planning to make braised pig's feet for dinner.

After searching for ages, I finally found two pork kidneys and bought some chili peppers and scallions along the way.

When I got home, good heavens, twenty minutes had already passed!

Wen Chan tossed her bag onto the table, turned to her son, and shouted, "Ah Xuan, hurry up and wash the rice and cook! Mom's going to show off her culinary skills in the kitchen!"

Their family has always had such a clear division of labor.

Before long, a fragrant stir-fried pork kidney and a refreshing loofah and egg soup were served. The color, aroma, and taste were absolutely amazing!

Wenchan's mouth was practically watering. Wenxuan was much more eager than his mother, quickly getting two bowls of rice and urging his mother to sit down and start eating.

Wenxuan first took two sips of soup, which could warm his stomach and aid digestion.

Then, after shoveling a mouthful of rice, he exclaimed, "Mom, this soup is so delicious! The saltiness is just right, it looks incredibly appetizing, and it tastes absolutely amazing!"

Since it was just the two of them eating, and there were plenty of bowls at home, Wenchan and her son used two bowls for each meal: one for soup and one for rice.

After finishing the soup, Wenxuan picked up a piece of pork kidney and put it in his mouth. Then he gave his mother a thumbs up and said, "Sure enough, Mom's cooking is the best! This pork kidney is so flavorful!"

Watching her son praise her after every bite, Wen Chan couldn't help but smile; her son's expressions gave her great emotional value.

Not to mention, this guy has exaggerated expressions and keeps giving a thumbs up.

The most interesting thing is that he kept praising it, regardless of whether the food tasted good or not.

He always says, "Mom's cooking is absolutely delicious."

"Mom makes my favorite flavor."

"Mom understands me best; she knows I like to eat this."

"Mom's cooking is so delicious, I want to eat this again next time," and other such endearing words.

Wen Chan felt a great sense of accomplishment from her son's praise, so she was always full of motivation when cooking.

After finishing their meal and cleaning up, Wenchan told Wenxuan, who was watching TV, to take a nap.

Wen Chan said, "Son, stop watching TV and go take a nap, otherwise you won't have any energy for class this afternoon."

"Okay, Mom, I understand." Wenxuan reluctantly turned off the TV and went back to his room to sleep after hearing his mother's words.

"Mom, remember to wake me up when it's time."

"Got it, go now."

Wen Chan also needs to rest for a while. This is a habit she has developed over a long period of time. She takes a nap every day so that she will have the energy to go to work in the afternoon.

Wen Chan and her department only need to work eight hours a day, from 8:00 am (usually arriving at 8:30 am) to 12:00 pm.

They work from 2 pm to 6 pm, and their pay doubles if they work overtime in the evening, but they basically don't work overtime.

Therefore, Wen Chan was very satisfied with this job. The pay was good and the work environment was not filled with annoying trivialities.

Moreover, her position is not a key one. Except when she is busy, she is basically very free and only needs to follow instructions.

As long as you complete the tasks you are responsible for, you generally have a lot of free time.

When the time came, Wenchan would wake her son up, take him to school, and then go to work herself.

After get off work, I went to pick up my son from school and bought some shrimp and mushrooms.

Tonight I'm going to make braised pork trotters, which I bought at noon, and shrimp, mushroom, and loofah soup.

After dinner, Wenchan would take her son to the park to play. There was an amusement park, a night market, and a large supermarket next to the park.

It's very crowded and lively there. Everyone loves to go there unless they're working overtime. However, with so many people, it's not very safe to bring children.

As a woman, Wen Chan dared not take her son out too often, because if something really happened, she would regret it to death.

But she wouldn't be afraid to go out because of this. She would only go occasionally, or when there were many people, she would take her son and colleagues with her.

She's raising a child alone, so she definitely has to think things through a lot. She wouldn't dare take any risks without considering all the potential dangers.

This time, Wenchan just wanted to go out and experience the lively atmosphere and the everyday life full of warmth and life.

In her previous life, she had lived alone at home for more than ten years and always missed the wonderful things in the present.

Her current goal is to eliminate any potential dangers, raise her son to adulthood healthy, and see him live a happy and fulfilling life in the future.

She felt that as long as she worked in the factory until retirement, and saved more money for her son, he would have enough capital to strive for in the future.

Then she will arrange her own life for the rest of her days, and Ah Xuan will also have his own happy life. That will be enough.
