Chapter 47: Popsicles
It is impossible to hide in the mountains all the time, rest for a while, and everyone pack up their things and go down the mountain. There was nothing to do when I came down, so I decided to go out.
A few people walked around the tube river and continued to gossip.
"Popsicle cluck...... Authentic old Beijing popsicles...... Bought cheaply...... Buy popsicles...... "Several women walking past with foam boxes shouted and sold popsicles to tourists in the vicinity.
Ah, it's time to take a cold popsicle to cool off on a hot summer's day! Xiaoxi was about to stop an aunt who was about to pass by, when she heard a voice behind her.
"Dad, I want to eat popsicles. Xiao Jun hesitated.
"If you want to eat, buy it yourself. Xiaojun's father didn't refuse, after all, it was too hot.
Seeing that his father didn't object, Xiaojun said "um" and hurriedly caught up with the aunt who Xiaoxi had just let go.
"Hello, how did you buy this popsicle?" Xiao Jun ran up to stop Auntie.
"I just sold it for a dollar, and now it's cheaper, five cents a piece. The aunt looked down at the little boy in front of her, and estimated that the consumption would be up, even if he had no money, she had just seen him follow the adults behind her.
Thinking about the money in my pocket, I can't just buy popsicles for myself, and there are two children in the back. So he plucked up his courage and said to the aunt, "Three pieces for one dollar, okay?"
The aunt exaggeratedly hugged the box and shrank back, her eyes bulged, and she shouted: "That's not good, I still sell a piece of five in the morning, and sell one piece at noon, and now I see that the weather is too hot, and I am afraid of melting, so I sell it cheaply, you are too little, don't sell it." ”
"Hmph......" Xiaojun turned his head angrily, "If you don't buy it, you won't buy it, I won't buy it yet." "Turn around and run back to the line.
"Ah...... "A dollar is also profitable, the aunt just sees that he is a child, deliberately scares and scares him, who knows if he really won't buy it." Businessmen are not afraid of their hot faces sticking to other people's cold butts.
The aunt followed a few people with a foam box in her hand and continued to persuade Xiaojun. "Oh, it's a hot day, how cool it is to have a popsicle!"
I saw a few adults continuing to chat and gossip, Xiaoxi pulled Chen Yubin to walk silently in front, and Xiaojun turned his head and ran to the other side.
Seeing that there was no way, the aunt was ruthless, "Okay, okay, I'll sell you three for one dollar." ”
Xiaojun looked at his father like him, and when he saw his father nodding, he ran to his aunt in a hurry and took out a dollar for her.
The aunt took the money and said, "Alas, you kid is really good at calculating, na, take it yourself." With a short body, he handed the foam box to Xiaojun.
Picking up the small quilt covered, Xiaojun picked the three hardest ones in it, which made the aunt anxiously say, "Eh, why are you still picking?" hurriedly wanted to cover the quilt, but Xiaojun had already run away with popsicles.
Xiaoxi retracted his gaze, thinking to himself that this kid was quite nimble, and this was very good for business.
"Chen Yuxi, Chen Yubin, give. Xiaoxi looked up and saw that it was not Xiaojun who had just bought popsicles, so he took it without the slightest hesitation, "Thank you." Chen Yubin also thanked and took it. Unpack it, put the popsicle in your mouth and take a bite, well...... Sure enough, the best match for summer is the popsicle.
The next day, Chen's father took a day off because he took a day off, so Chen's mother took the two children to play.
In the past few years, due to the relationship of morning exercise every day, Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin have long been accustomed to getting up at six o'clock. When Xiaoxi opened his eyes, Chen's father had already gone to work, yesterday because of the shopping was really tired, 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 cautiously, because they had no place to exercise in the morning, so they finished washing up and went to buy breakfast with money. This money is the past few days, Chen's father asked them to buy wine, and the rest is in their hands.
Because they still have to take the two children to play today, when Xiaoxi and the others come back, Chen's mother has already gotten up, and the three of them hurry up to finish eating, and then go out.
Although Chen's father and Chen's mother are not tall, but after the washing of Lingquan water in the past few years, the two children have jumped a little taller, Chen Yubin is now 1.21 meters, and the creek is 1.27 meters, so he spent two yuan to take the bus.
After getting out of the car, Chen's mother continued to walk forward with the two children, but she had not yet arrived at the place.
"Lotus Pond...... Mom, is this where you brought us to play today?" Chen Yubin turned his head to look at Chen's mother and asked curiously.
Chen's mother smiled, didn't speak, entered the door and bought tickets at the ticket office on the side, beckoned the two children to follow, turned around and walked towards the park.
Because it's summer vacation, there are a lot of children in the park, and the chatter is very lively.
The roses planted on both sides of the road in the park are in good bloom now, and lotus and lotus flowers can be seen everywhere in clay pots on the ground.
"Wow...... Mom, is this a lotus?" Chen Yubin quickly ran to the lake, lying on the stone railing, looking at the lotus flowers competing for beauty in most of the lake in front of him, and asked in surprise.
Xiaoxi thinks it's not bad, but there is no shock in the space, and the lotus flowers in the space can be regarded as "the infinite green of the lotus leaves", and the posture is one, the flowers bloom for a long time, and the fragrance is fragrant.
"Well, this is the lotus, after two days, when the lotus is gone, there are lotus seeds to eat, and then I will take you to pick lotus seeds." Chen's mother stepped forward and grabbed Chen Yubin's shoulders and promised.
"Hmm. As a snack goods, Chen Yubin didn't agree, so he happily agreed.
A few people began to walk around the lake. There are many people who take pictures with their cameras and take pictures of the scenery, and there are also old ladies and grandfathers dancing and exercising in the activity area on the side.
"Huh, what are you doing here?" Chen Yubin was very curious and ran forward to see clearly, and Xiaoxi hurriedly followed.
A little girl of three or four years old, her grandfather was accompanying her by the lake, staring directly at the surface of the lake, and her expression was very solemn. Tie the four corners of a piece of gauze with a rope to form a hanging basket, put some steamed bread crumbs on the gauze, carry the rope and put the gauze into the water, and after a while the small fish are vying to grab the food, then the rope is lifted, and the fish will come up. At this moment, there were already a lot of small 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 slapped her forehead and said angrily, "Oh, why did you forget to buy steamed buns?"
Chen Yubin turned his head and asked suspiciously, "Mom, what are you buying steamed buns for?" "Hey the fish, the fish in this park like to eat steamed buns." ”
After walking away, Chen Yubin spoke, "Mom, then when we come back next time, let's buy some steamed buns and feed them to the fish." ”
Chen's mother was a little tired from walking, and when she saw that there was a swing, she just sat down to rest for a while, and the two siblings ran to the side to swing for a while, and then played with the fitness equipment for the elderly.
The rest is almost over, and it starts to turn again.
"Mom, what is this?" Looking at the behemoth in front of him, Chen Yubin asked in surprise.
"Do you want to play?" Seeing that she came to the children's play area, thinking that the two children had finally come to visit, Chen's mother asked with a smile.
Chen Yubin looked at the big thing in front of him, each child was sitting in a plane, and the plane was still propped up on the pillar in the middle with a stick, the plane went up and down for a while, and those children laughed very happily (they were so frightened that they closed their eyes and grew their mouths), so he nodded, "Mom, I want to play this." ”
"What about the creek, do you want to play?" Chen's mother looked at the creek on the side again.
It was the first time to play with this thing, and there were so many strange children, so Chen Yubin was a little timid, so he looked at Xiaoxi pitifully and nodded violently.
Xiaoxi thought that he had gone to Happy Valley to play with the big pendulum in his last life, and he was still afraid of this, play!
Chen's mother went to buy tickets for the two of them, and just as a wave came down, Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin went up. Fasten your seatbelts, have it checked by the administrator, and take off.
It's not that fast, after all, it's all children who play. Because of weightlessness, when I came down, my steps were a little weak, but after two steps, I got used to it, and the two children ran forward again.
Xiaoxi looked at the boats docked by the lake, and wanted to sit and go to the water to enjoy the lotus flowers. "Mom, shall we go boating?"
"No, I can't. Chen's mother refused without even thinking about it, "Next time your father comes with us, we'll go rowing." Chen's mother was very afraid that she would not be able to take care of her two children, and there was nothing on land, and if she accidentally fell into the water, she would not be able to find the ground for crying.
"Oh......" Xiaoxi pouted in some disappointment, but then thought again, my brother is restless, and this kind of boat is not safe, easy to capsize, it is indeed not suitable to play, at least it is not suitable to play without Father Chen's presence.
Turning around, several people turned to the fishing area. There are bridges, stones, reeds, flowing water, and lotus flowers, which reveal a bit of graceful beauty in the atmosphere.
Passing by the stone bridge, the creek saw several fishing rods in front of the bridge, and the words "rent, 20 yuan an hour" were written on the white cardboard. Xiaoxi likes fishing very much, and wants to rent one, but he thinks that his mother will not spend this money, so he doesn't open his mouth.
"Grandpa, come on!" Xiaoxi followed the sound and saw a little girl about three years old, very beautiful, who was holding a small fishing net by the water, probably caught the net, so he urged his grandfather to hurry over and pretend.
"Eh, here we are. I saw a gray-haired, energetic old man carrying a bucket in one hand and a fishing net in the other.
A young woman sitting next to the little girl quickly stood up and said worriedly, "Dad, slow down." Hurriedly stepped forward to help, and then a little old lady came over slowly, pointed at the old man and complained: "You old man, you can't slow down, what can you do if you fall?"
The water is shallow and there are stones at the edge, so there are many children with small fishing nets to steal fish at the water's edge.
Along the water's edge, watching others fishing for a while, the three of them continued to stroll.
There are a lot of trees planted in the park, and a lot of rockeries have been piled up, as well as hexagonal pavilions and flower stands, which are very beautiful and cool.
