Zhou Tao thought about it for a long time, and finally chose two of his favorites. Wang Xiaoda smiled and asked Zhou Tao to think about whether he had any favorite patterns and stripes, and he could help him draw a few now.

Zhou Tao thought for a while and described the patterns he liked, and Wang Xiaoda drew a few more on the spot. After several revisions and revisions, Zhou Tao was very happy, he just described it to his mother, and Xiao Da Ge was able to draw it!

Wang Xiaoda took a few drawings, folded them and put them in his sleeves. He looked at Zhou Tao and remembered that he had promised him to take him around Changle Fang.

"How about I'll take you around?"

"Uh-huh!" Zhou Tao was eager to try, very excited.

Because Zhou Tao was still young after all, Wang Xiaoda just took him to visit the surface place. Those places with a lot of people just glanced at it, and he didn't want Zhou Tao to contact these gamblers.

After a short period of effort, Zhou Tao also felt satisfied. After all, his curiosity was satisfied.

"What do you think of Changle Fang?" Wang Xiaoda asked with a smile.

"I used to be curious, but now it seems to be okay. It's not as confusing as I thought it would be, but it's also more complicated than I thought it would be. Zhou Tao touched his chin and said.

Wang Xiaoda smiled and felt that this child was quite interesting. I was willing to talk to him a thing or two.

"This kind of gambling can be played occasionally. But don't get caught up in it, the best way is to play occasionally at home with friends, and the people who come to the gambling room are fanatics and can easily learn badly. "

Wang Xiaoda told Zhou Tao everything again, children at this age are most likely to go astray, and it is better to explain it clearly.

Zhou Tao smiled, "Brother Xiaoda, don't worry, I won't be obsessed with this thing." "

Seeing that Zhou Tao didn't look like a joke, he was also very clear in his heart, and Wang Xiaoda was relieved.

It was still early, so the two of them went to the workshop on the corner together.

Wang Xiaoda is a frequent customer, and there is a shopkeeper and a young man in this store. When the shopkeeper saw Wang Xiaoda coming, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

"Young Master Wang, you are here, what kind of style are you doing this time?" The shopkeeper asked with a smile.

Wang Xiaoda also smiled, and then handed him the drawings.

"This is for the children in the family, do these three patterns, and I marked them with colors."

The shopkeeper looked at Zhou Tao and nodded knowingly. Although the shopkeeper is not a well-known person, he has done a good job. And Wang Xiaoda is a frequent customer here, just one of his customers can bring a lot of business to their store.

And this young master doesn't need them to design patterns, every time he comes over, he will bring his own patterns, the problem is that a layman also draws very exquisitely. Even the shopkeeper, who specializes in this business, admires Wang Xiaoda's ingenious conception.

And this little young master Wang, although he looks cold and not easy to mess with, he is really good at talking when he is in a good mood. He doesn't like the same style as others, so he designs his own patterns.

And they are just small shops, and their foreheads or clothes are only worn by ordinary people. Wang Xiaoda sometimes needs some special materials, which ordinary people can't afford to wear.

So every time they are the shopkeeper to do Wang Xiaoda's share, maybe Wang Xiaoda feels a little troublesome to the shopkeeper, and he also sees that the shopkeeper is more attentive, and sometimes he will give them a few drawings that he did not use, and even when he sees the young man drawing the pattern, he will also guide one or two from the side.

So in general, the shopkeeper still likes Wang Xiaoda very much.

Because Zhou Tao is still a child, Wang Xiaoda did not use any expensive materials. I just asked Zhou Tao's opinion and made a forehead wipe with gemstones, which can be worn on important occasions. The rest are plain styles, some silver engravings.

He is in the school, so many children play together, it is not too luxurious.

After Wang Xiaoda carefully explained a few details, he just asked him to do it carefully, and he would come back to get it in a few days.

According to the usual practice, after the matter was explained, Wang Xiaoda gave Zhou Tao the remaining patterns to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper praised them again and again after reading them, these kinds of things are more suitable for teenagers, and they can just be on a new style.

The shopkeeper felt a little embarrassed, and he used the patterns designed by others to sell for money, but this young master Wang didn't care about a few silver coins, so he thought, the workmanship is more fine, and then he will collect less silver.

After coming out of the shop, the two were going to go to a taste of incense. Because it was not yet time to eat, Wang Xiaoda proposed to take Zhou Tao around the street, and Zhou Tao readily agreed, he was familiar with the street, but he had not shopped.

Both of them are people who don't go shopping, the street is still very lively in the morning, the two of them are not bored, talking and laughing along the way, and there are interesting things to see.

Nowadays, there are vendors carrying straw sticks and sugar gourds on them.

This is also Yang Xu sold the recipe to the dim sum shop before, and the shopkeeper was also more ingenious, and found that it was better to sell it in the store, so he sent a young man to shout and sell rock sugar gourds on the street every day, and the children would catch up after hearing it, and the adults who pestered them bought it.

There are also rock sugar gourds sold today, Zhou Tao thought of Yang Xu, so he took a look at it twice.

Wang Xiaoda asked with a smile, "Does Taotao want to eat rock sugar gourd?" "

Zhou Tao was a little embarrassed, "No, I'm just interesting to watch, this thing is very easy to make, and Sister Yang makes the most delicious." "

Wang Xiaoda nodded approvingly, but Sister Yang wouldn't do it for them at this time, since she saw it, then they would be one by one.

When Zhou Tao found out that Wang Xiaoda was going to eat too, he didn't feel embarrassed, Xiao Da Ge was older than him, and the two of them felt very interesting when they ate together.

Wang Xiaoda led Zhou Tao to the person selling rock sugar gourds, took out a few copper plates, and bought two strings of rock sugar gourds.

"I remember that Tao Tao loves to eat bean paste filling, and it just so happens that I love to eat it too." Wang Xiaoda said with a smile.

Zhou Tao was still very moved, but he didn't expect Xiao Dage to remember all his preferences.

Zhou Tao nodded, "I didn't like sweet, but this bean paste has a different flavor, and this rock sugar gourd is sweet and sour." Wang Xiaoda nodded approvingly.

It happened that a child ran over, and the three or four-year-old boy insisted on eating rock sugar gourds, and his father followed.

Seeing that the person selling rock sugar gourds didn't hear the children's shouts, he walked a little faster. The boy had short legs and was in a hurry, so he accidentally fell.

The father was very anxious, and hurriedly ran over and picked up the child.

"What do you mean you kid? Did it hurt to fall? The man's doting and somewhat reproachful voice rang out.

"No, but the guy with the rock sugar gourd is gone." The child didn't feel pain, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to eat rock sugar gourd.

The father couldn't cry or laugh, and gently patted the child's little head,

"You greedy baby, you have to sell it to others, so that you can eat rock sugar gourd every day, are you willing?" The father joked.

When the boy heard this, he wept.

"Don't, don't, I don't eat rock sugar gourds, daddy don't sell me, woo woo woo ......" The child hugged his father's neck tightly, really afraid that his father would sell him.

"Daddy is joking with you, don't cry, let's see if you want to eat rock sugar gourd again in the future, and you left Daddy behind." The father hurriedly coaxed.

"Is my father going to sell me? I'm good. The child asked, choked up.

"It's all a joke, why am I willing to sell my little treasure to someone else?" The man said in a doting tone.

The kid just laughed, and a cute snot bubbled out.

"Then since I'm Daddy's little baby, can I eat a bunch of rock sugar gourds?" The voice of the three- or four-year-old child sounded so loudly that the father couldn't stop crying and laughing.

"Why are you still thinking about the rock sugar gourd! Okay, okay, buy rock sugar gourds for my little baby to eat. The father strode forward with the child in his arms and walked towards the vendor who sold rock sugar gourds.

The sound faded away, and only the faint laughter of the child could be heard.

Zhou Tao looked at the rock sugar gourd in his hand, the corners of his mouth were a little bitter, he seemed to have never been like his father, intimate and spoiled.

Even before this year, the time he spent with his father was less than a few months together, and when his father came back as a child, he didn't know him.

Maybe Zhou Tao's expression was a little obvious, and Wang Xiaoda realized it,

"What's wrong with Taotao? Is this rock sugar gourd not delicious? Wang Xiaoda asked with a smile.

"No, it's delicious, it's just a little sour from eating this hawthorn." Zhou Tao hurriedly said.

"Then you eat the bean paste inside and the sugar on the surface, so that you won't feel sour, or if you can't bear to give up this rock sugar gourd, you can eat the hawthorn first, and then eat the bean paste inside, so that it will be sour first and then sweet. But I still bite a little bite, so it tastes sweet and sour. Wang Xueda said with a smile.

Zhou Tao smiled and nodded, although Zhou Tao smiled, Wang Xiaoda still noticed that the child next to him was unhappy, and then thought about the process along the way, it seemed that he was only like this when he met the father and son just now.

Thinking about it again, Uncle Zhou is away all the year round and rarely gets along with Zhou Tao, maybe their father and son haven't even been on the street! And counting the years, when Zhou Tao was a few years old, Uncle Zhou went out, this child, speaking of happiness, is actually very miserable.

His mother died when he was a child, and his father went out when he was a few years old.

Thinking about going in this direction, Wang Xiaoda seemed to think that when they came to propose marriage that day, Zhou Tao, the child, didn't seem to be very happy

Wang Xiaoda put himself in Zhou Tao's shoes and thought about it, since he was four years old, the only person he was close to was his sister, and now that his sister is getting married, the boy who is only ten years old is of course terrified and afraid.

He is not familiar with his father, and he doesn't want to delay his sister's happiness, so he can only swallow the bitter water in his heart, and this is a happy thing, he can't complain to others, let alone tell others, lest others think that he is not sensible enough. Zhou Tao is only ten years old, he is still a child, and he is already very sensible.

Wang Xiaoda thought about it, the two of them had similar experiences, and he was even luckier than Zhou Tao.

"How is Taotao getting along with Uncle Zhou now?" Wang Xiaoda asked suddenly.

"Huh? And my dad? You alright! "

Zhou Tao didn't know why Wang Xiaoda asked like this, he thought about it and didn't seem to have any contradictions, so he said a word okay. There is no excessive communication and no contradictions.

But he just called Dad, but he didn't feel anything in his heart, probably he didn't have that kind of admiration!

He knows what a real family is, and he is like that to his sister, who wants to get married, and he is reluctant. But if his father is going out and doesn't come back for a year and a half, he won't feel anything.
