Protagonist:
Yan Qianqian
Only saw Qianqian quickly pick up chopsticks, precisely clip a fresh and tender shrimp meat into her mouth, chew slowly and then sigh with satisfaction: "Delicious~ This shrimp meat is really so fresh and delicious!"
On the other side, Qi Xi clipped a crisp and refreshing spring bamboo shoot, and after taking a bite couldn't help but praise: "Wow, this spring bamboo shoot is crispy, the texture is really good, simply too delicious~" The two cute little girls just ate with relish like that, making chewing sounds, that appearance made people watching couldn't help but feel their appetite whetted.
Ai Jiao sitting beside saw them eating so deliciously, her own appetite was also hooked, so she also started to wolf down eating, similarly making chewing sounds.
However, just at this time, Guo Lanxin suddenly fiercely glared at Ai Jiao, and sternly said: "Boys are not allowed to make chewing sounds when eating! Pay attention to your image!"
Ai Jiao hearing this, immediately felt very wronged and unwilling in her heart, she pouted her mouth and retorted: "Why? They both are also making chewing sounds! Why only scold me alone?"
Guo Lanxin snorted lightly, patiently explained: "What I said is boys cannot do this, girls making chewing sounds is called eating deliciously, showing our dishes today are made especially good, making them eat happily and satisfied. But boys must have a manly appearance, must be more elegant, understand?"
Ai Jiao silently buried her head eating, as if the whole world only had the food in front of her. On the other side, Qianqian and Qi Xi ate extremely happily, making chewing sounds in their mouths, that sound rose and fell, just like a lively concert.
Guo Lanxin sat beside, eyes fixedly staring at them both, even her own meal she didn't bother to eat a bite. Only saw her secretly sigh in her heart: "Ahhh, how can eating a meal be so good-looking! Look at her cherry small mouth, making chewing sounds with food is simply too charming, and that little hand holding the pig trotter, how can it be so cute? Oh my, the other one is also cute enough to make people unable to bear! This lion head how can it be so big, the little girls simply cannot clip it up! Look at that clueless Ai Jiao, only caring about eating herself, truly a complete glutton!"
Just at this time, Guo Lanxin saw Qi Xi trying her best still couldn't clip up the lion head, finally couldn't suppress her inner impulse, stood up with a whoosh, quickly picked up chopsticks, steadily clipped up a lion head, gently put it into Qi Xi's bowl.
After doing these, she still didn't forget to smile and say: "Chopsticks Auntie hasn't been used yet." Qi Xi hearing this, hurriedly raised her head, face blooming with a sweet smile, politely responded: "Thank you pretty Auntie, but this lion head is really too big, I might not be able to finish it."
Guo Lanxin gently answered: "It's okay Xi Xi, if you can't finish you can leave it." The little girl after getting encouragement happily nodded her head, then immediately started eating with relish making chewing sounds again.
On the other side Ai Jiao who was wolfing down had already eaten full, saying "I'm full" Guo Lanxin looking at the few remaining spring bamboo shoots in Ai Jiao's bowl said: "Boys cannot leave food in the bowl, eat it clean."
Ai Jiao bitterly finished the few remaining spring bamboo shoots in the bowl, and didn't forget to lick the bowl clean fearing being scolded. While softly muttering: "A Ren't boys human?"
After eating the sumptuous lunch, the sunlight was just right, the breeze not stuffy. The four people excitedly boarded an exquisitely decorated carriage, horse hooves sounds crisp and pleasant, all the way towards the extremely lively Jishi heading.
When they arrived at Jishi, the scene before their eyes made them dazzled. Both sides of the street were full of various small vendors, hawking voices and bargaining voices rose and fell, extremely lively. The items sold here were dazzling, various types, making people overwhelmed.
Several people first stopped in front of a small stall selling blankets. The stall owner enthusiastically showed them various blankets on his stall, among them a very large and thick blanket was especially eye-catching. Its soft texture and bright colors seemed to be summoning people to take it home. After selecting for a while, they without hesitation bought this blanket, preparing to spread it on the grass tomorrow, comfortably sitting to enjoy food and scenery.
Immediately after, they were attracted by bursts of fragrance to another snack stall. The stall was placed with various delicious snacks, sweet and delicious Yunpian cake, crispy and fragrant popcorn, crispy peach crisp dropping crumbs, sweet preserved fruits, delicate and soft pea yellow, and nutritious Poria cakes and so on.
These snacks were the foods the children usually missed day and night, today they could finally eat their fill at once! So, everyone selected their favorite flavors, and in a short while filled a big bag.
Just when they were happily continuing to stroll, suddenly discovered a special small stall ahead. They couldn't help but stop their steps, curiously moved forward.
Only saw a dark-skinned middle-aged man standing there, looking about forty or fifty years old. His figure was burly, muscles strong, giving people a healthy and powerful feeling. And his voice was unusually loud, from far away could hear him loudly hawking to attract customers.
The man seeing Qianqian, immediately showed a friendly smile on his face, and enthusiastically greeted: "Little girl, quickly come see if there is anything you want?" Qianqian's gaze was instantly attracted by a colorful Butterfly Kite on the small stall.
This kite was red and blue interlaced, like the gorgeous evening clouds at the edge of the sky; the butterfly's wings were dotted with black small round dots, like twinkling stars in the night sky; and behind the two wings each dragged a long tail, fluttering in the wind, simply extremely cute.
Qianqian's eyes shone, corners of mouth raised, smiling and said to the Dahan: "Boss, how much is this kite?" The man laughed heartily, showing a mouth of white and neat teeth, under the sunlight especially dazzling. Saying "One tael of silver each~" Qianqian looking at the kite said to Qi Xi: "Xi Xi let's buy a kite!"
Qi Xi looked at the Butterfly Kite and also liked it at first sight, immediately said: "Okay okay~" At this time, Ai Jiao standing beside excitedly said: "Wow! You guys quickly look, this Goldfish-shaped kite is really good looking!" She while saying, while pointing with her finger at the bright and eye-catching orange kite in front.
Only saw that Goldfish Kite was lifelike, its head embedded with two huge, crystal clear eyes, as if curiously gazing at everything around; the fish fins on both sides slightly swayed, like swimming lightly in water; and behind dragged a long, colorful big tail, gently swaying with the breeze, very good looking.
Ai Chun seeing this, without hesitation said: "Since you like it then buy it." After saying, he motioned the personal attendant beside him to go pay silver. The three children who got their desired kites were extremely happy, like three happy little rabbits, hopping and jumping continuing to walk forward.
Just when they were excitedly moving forward, Qianqian walking in the middle seemed to suddenly remember something important, abruptly turned back, loudly shouted to Ai Chun behind: "Oh! Let me tell you, I heard people say, when adults mutually pledge love they will mutually give gifts, so you must think carefully about what you should give~"
Hearing this, Ai Chun couldn't help but blush and heartbeat, but still hurriedly responded: "En en, know it!" He secretly rejoiced in his heart, fortunately there were these few clever little strategists beside giving advice and planning, otherwise he alone for so many years, facing this situation would really be at a loss. Always, for the suggestions and ideas given by these three little strategists, Ai Chun always humbly accepted and seriously considered.
Seeing time was not early, several people felt they had strolled enough today, so began to discuss returning to the residence. Afterwards, they together returned to Ai Jiao's home. At parting, Qianqian sat on her own carriage, and brought Qi Xi together to leave. However, they did not directly return home, but instead rushed towards another direction...
