Transmigrated to a Period Novel as the Genius Antagonist's Birth Mother

Chapter 100: Training

Big Brother Jiang's family won't come so soon, but it's time to start preparing for the New Year goods. Chu Xia and Jiang Shengnan went to buy New Year goods together, accompanied by Cen Huai'an, and also with Hu Pandeng and Xiao He. Everyone wanted to go out and have some fun.

Their parents also joined, making the atmosphere lively when everyone shopped for New Year goods together.

The market didn't change much from when Chu Xia and Cen Huai'an came before. It was still as lively and crowded as ever.

Everyone bought things in bulk, filling their bags with items.

Chu Xia and Cen Huai'an were most fond of the lamb skewers here. No matter where they ate, the taste couldn't compare to that of Ganzhou— not gamey at all, with delicious and tender meat.

Several children followed them to eat lamb skewers, their mouths oily from the indulgence. Usually, their parents wouldn't allow them to eat like this.

For Chu Xia, the price of lamb skewers was acceptable, but many parents might find it expensive. However, compared to before, everyone's lives had improved a lot.

At noon, Chu Xia and An'an ate bo geda, another delicacy from Ganzhou made with chicken and flour, with a rich and smooth texture. Chu Xia and An'an each had a large bowl.

Others had various foods, and everyone sat together, chatting and laughing, creating a joyful atmosphere.

After returning from the market, the teenagers who played with Cen Huai'an all followed him home. It had been a long time since they saw An'an, and now was the time to catch up.

Chu Xia went upstairs, Jiang Shengnan went to work, leaving the living room for these teenagers to play.

"An'an, are you going to participate in the National Mathematics Competition this time?"

Xiao He asked eagerly, as he had already confirmed that he could participate in the physics competition.

"I will."

Several teenagers patted Cen Huai'an and Xiao He on the shoulders, full of admiration. "We all grew up eating, but how did your brains grow so smart? Why are you so clever?"

Cen Huai'an looked at him. "Grew up normally."

He stood next to the pile of melons and snacks they bought today, preparing to serve dried fruits and beef jerky to his friends. However, Hu Pandeng rejected the offer outright.

"If we want to eat, we'll just grab it ourselves. You're making it more troublesome."

Cen Huai'an still packed the items and said, "It's more hygienic this way."

"An'an, when we play Go, can I invite my little uncle to watch? He wants to see us play."

Cen Huai'an replied, "Sure."

Xiao He smirked and immediately went outside to call his little uncle.

Hu Pandeng glanced at his retreating figure, grabbed a handful of raisins, and turned to Cen Huai'an. "You guys are playing Go again. Even though Xiao He never wins against you, why is he still so enthusiastic about playing against you?"

"Because he wants to surpass me."

Xiao He sees Cen Huai'an as the target he strives to catch up with. Every time he plays Go with Cen Huai'an, it's not just about winning but also about checking if he has narrowed the gap with Cen Huai'an.

When Xu Lishu came with Xiao He, several teenagers had already turned on the big color TV, happily watching.

At this moment, Journey to the West was on the air, a favorite TV show for both children and adults. Many kids outside were playing, pretending to be Sun Wukong with a stick, reenacting the game of Tang Monk's journey to the West, which is currently the most popular among children.
