The division of labor between the father and the children was quite clear. The children didn't cry or make a scene. Instead, they followed behind Wu Mubai with great interest.
However, most of their attention was focused on the dazzling array of snacks on the supermarket shelves.
There was so much food. As children, almost all of them were comforted by it.
After they wandered around for a while, a customer came into the shop.
"I want a bag of dumplings, a bag of rice balls, and a bottle of vinegar."
Wu Mubai immediately came out from behind the shelves and said to the customer,
"Please wait a moment."
When that person saw Wu Mubai's face, he immediately gasped in shock. Then, thinking that he was seeing things, he reached out to rub his eyes. After rubbing them a few times, he finally confirmed that he wasn't seeing things.
"You, you, you are... Wu Mubai?" He asked.
