Chapter 47 Popsicles
It was impossible to hide in the mountain all the time. After resting for a while, everyone packed their things and went down the mountain. There was nothing to do when they came down, so they decided to go out.
Several people walked around the Tongzi River and continued to gossip.
"Popsicles...authentic old Beijing popsicles...buy them cheaply...bought them..." Several women walking by their side with their arms around shouted, selling popsicles to tourists around them.
Ah, in the hot summer, I should eat cold popsicles to relieve the heat! Xiaoxi was about to stop an aunt who was about to pass by, but he heard a voice coming from behind.
"Dad, I want to eat popsicles." Xiaojun spoke hesitantly.
"If you want to eat, buy it yourself." Xiaojun's father did not refuse, after all, it was too hot.
Seeing that his father did not object, Xiaojun said "um" and quickly caught up with the aunt who Xiaoxi had just let go.
"Hello, how did you buy this popsicle?" Xiaojun ran up and stopped the aunt.
"I just sold it for one dollar, but now it's cheaper, 50 cents per piece." The aunt looked down at the little boy in front of her. She probably paid for it. Even if he had no money, she saw him following the adults behind her just now.
Thinking about the money in my pocket, it is impossible to buy popsicles for yourself. There are two children behind me. So I mustered up the courage and said to the aunt: "Any three dollars a dollar, can it be done?"
The aunt hugged the box exaggeratedly and shrank back, her eyes bulged, and she shouted, "That's not possible. I sold one piece in the morning and one piece at noon. Now I saw that the weather was too hot and I was afraid of melting, so I sold it cheaply for 50 cents. You are too little, so I won't sell it."
"Hmph..." Xiaojun turned his head angrily, "If you don't buy it, don't buy it, I won't buy it yet." He turned around and ran back to the team.
"Ah..." Three dollars are profitable. The aunt just saw that he was a child and deliberately scared him. Who knew that she wouldn't buy it anymore. As a businessman, she was not afraid of her hot face against her cold butt.
The aunt followed the people happily with the foam box, and continued to persuade Xiaojun. "Oh, this hot day, how cool it is for a popsicle!" She looked at the reactions of the people next to her with her eyes empty.
I saw a few adults continuing to chat, Xiaoxi pulled Chen Yubin and walked silently in front of him. Xiaojun turned his head and ran to the other side.
Seeing that there was nothing I could do, the aunt made a cruel decision, "Okay, okay, I will sell you three yuan."
Seeing his father like him, Xiaojun ran to the aunt excitedly and took out a dollar for her when he saw his father nodding.
While taking the money, the aunt also muttered: "Oh, you kid really know how to calculate, now, take it yourself." She shortened her body and handed the foam box to Xiaojun.
He picked up the covered quilt, and Xiaojun selected three of the hardest ones inside, which made the aunt hurriedly say, "Hey, why are you still picking?" He hurriedly wanted to cover the quilt, but Xiaojun had already run away with the popsicle.
Xiaoxi withdrew his gaze and thought to himself that this kid is very flexible, and that is very good at doing business.
"Chen Yuxi, Chen Yubin, give it." Xiaoxi looked up and saw that it was not Xiaojun who bought the popsicle just now. Without hesitation, he took it with it at all. "Thank you." Chen Yubin also thanked him for taking it. Unpacked the packaging and put the popsicle in his mouth and took it with a bite. Well... Sure enough, the one that matched Xia Tian best was counting the popsicle.
The next day, because Chen's father took one day off, Chen's mother took the two children to play.
In recent years, Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin have already gotten used to getting up at six o'clock because of the morning exercise every day. When Xiaoxi opened her eyes, Chen's father had already gone to work. Yesterday, he was really tired because he was shopping. At night, Xiaoxi added a lot of spiritual spring water to help remove fatigue when soaking his feet, but it was rare to have a holiday, so Chen's mother was still sleeping.
Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin got up carefully. Because they had no place to do morning exercises, they washed up and took the money to buy breakfast. The money was the past few days. Chen's father asked them to buy wine, and the rest was held in their hands.
Because they had to take two children to play today, when Xiaoxi and the others came back, Chen's mother had already gotten up. The three of them seized the time to finish their meal and then went out.
Although Chen’s father and mother Chen are not tall, after being washed by Lingquan water in recent years, the two children have grown a little bit. Chen Yubin is now 1.21 meters and 1.27 meters and 1.27 meters in the stream, so he spent two yuan to take the bus.
After getting off the car, Chen's mother continued to walk forward with her two children, but she hadn't arrived at the place yet.
"Lotus Pond...Mom, is this where you took us to play today?" Chen Yubin turned his head and looked at Chen's mother and asked curiously.
Mother Chen smiled and said nothing. She entered the door and went to the ticket office beside her and bought tickets. She waved her hands to let her two children follow her, turned around and walked towards the park.
Because it is summer vacation now, there are a lot of children in the park and the chatter is very lively.
The roses planted on both sides of the park are now in good time, and lotus flowers planted in pottery pots on the ground can be seen everywhere.
"Wow... Mom, is this the lotus?" Chen Yubin quickly ran to the lake, lay on the stone railing, looking at the fighting lotus flowers in most of the lake in front of him, and asked in surprise.
The stream thought it was not bad, but there was no shock in the space. The lotus in the space could be regarded as "the lotus leaves are endless and green", and the postures were one. The flowers bloomed for a long time and were fragrant.
"Well, this is the lotus. After the lotus has faded in two days, there will be lotus seeds to eat. Then I will bring you to pick lotus seeds." Chen's mother stepped forward and put her arms around Chen Yubin's shoulder and promised.
"Yes." Chen Yubin, a foodie, didn't agree, so he agreed happily.
Several people started to stroll around the lake. Many people took cameras to take pictures and took pictures of people. There were also old ladies and old men dancing and exercising in the activity area beside them.
"Huh? What are you doing?" Chen Yubin was very curious and ran forward to see clearly, so Xiaoxi hurriedly followed.
It turned out to be net fish! A three or four-year-old girl, her grandfather was accompanying her by the lake, staring straight at the lake, looking very solemn. She tied a rope to the four corners of a piece of gauze to form a hanging basket, put some steamed buns on the gauze, and carried the rope to put the gauze into the water. After a while, the little fish rushed to grab the food. When the rope was lifted, the fish came up. At this moment, there were already many little fish two or three centimeters long in the little girl's bucket.
Looking at the steamed buns in the little girl's hand, Chen's mother patted her forehead and said in annoyance: "Oh, why did you forget to buy steamed buns?"
Chen Yubin turned his head and asked in confusion: "Mom, why are you buying steamed buns?" "Feed fish, the fish in this park like to eat steamed buns."
After walking away, Chen Yubin said, "Mom, when we come back next time, we should buy some steamed buns and feed them to the fish."
Mother Chen was a little tired when she saw a swing. She just sat down to rest for a while. The two siblings ran aside to swing and then played with the fitness equipment for the elderly.
I almost had a rest and started to turn again.
"Mom, what is this?" Chen Yubin asked in surprise at the behemoth in front of him.
"Does Binbin want to go play?" Seeing that he came to the children's play area and thinking that the two children finally came, Chen's mother asked with a smile.
Chen Yubin looked at the big thing in front of him. Every child was sitting in a plane, and the plane was also supported on the pillar in the middle. The plane was on and off for a while. Seeing the children laughing happily (thus closing their eyes and growing their mouths), he nodded, "Mom, I want to play this."
"That stream, are you going to play?" Chen's mother looked at the stream next to her again.
It was the first time I played this thing, and there were so many strange children, so Chen Yubin was a little timid and looked at Xiaoxi pitifully and nodded sharply.
Xiaoxi thought that he had gone to Happy Valley to play with the pendulum in his last life, but he was still afraid of this, so he played!
Chen's mother went to buy tickets for them, and it happened to be over. Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin went up. They fastened their seat belts, checked by the administrator, and then took off.
The speed is not very fast, after all, the children are playing. Because of weightlessness, when they come down, their steps are a little weak, but they get used to it after walking two steps, and the two children ran forward again in a fight.
The stream looked at the boat parked by the lake, and wanted to sit in the water to enjoy the lotus flowers. "Mom, let's go rowing?"
"No." Mother Chen refused without thinking, "When your father comes next time, we will go boating." Mother Chen was afraid that she would not be able to take care of her two children, and there was nothing on the land. If she accidentally fell into the water, she would be unable to find the ground to cry.
"Oh..." Xiaoxi pouted in disappointment, but in a blink of an eye, he thought that his younger brother was restless, and this kind of boat was unsafe and easy to overturn, so it was indeed not suitable for playing. At least it was not suitable for playing without father Chen.
As they turned around, a few people moved to the fishing area. There were bridges, stones, reeds, running water, and lotus, which revealed a bit of grace and beauty in the atmosphere.
When I passed by the stone bridge, Xiaoxi saw several fishing rods in front of the bridge, and the words "Rent, 20 yuan per hour" were written on the white cardboard. Xiaoxi likes fishing very much and wants to rent one, but when she thought that her mother would not spend the money, she didn't speak.
"Grandpa, come quickly!" Xiao Xi looked over and saw a girl about three years old who was very beautiful. She was holding a fishing net by the water. She probably was caught in the net, so she urged her grandpa to come over and pretend.
"Hey, here we come." I saw an old man with gray hair but energetic hair holding a bucket in one hand and a fishing net in the other. He walked as fast as he could, and he arrived at him in two strokes.
A young woman sitting next to the little girl quickly stood up and said worriedly, "Dad, please wait." He quickly stepped forward and helped her. At this time, a little old lady walked over slowly, pointed at the old man and complained, "You old man, you won't be slower, what should I do if I fall?"
The water here is very shallow, and there are stones on the edge of the water, so many children are holding small fishing nets to steal fish by the water.
Following the waterside, watching someone else fishing for a while, the three of them continued to walk forward.
