Chapter 87 Awesome

Zhu Ziqing said in "Traces": "Days are like a drop of water on the tip of a needle falling into the sea. My days drip into the flow of time, without sound or shadow."

Since everyone in the family has something to do, the days have passed quickly and fulfillingly, and in the blink of an eye it is the end of December again.

I don't know when it started, but now a strange wind has blown in Shenzhen, and now it's become popular to celebrate foreign festivals.

So starting from mid-December, the whole city gradually becomes lively, cheerful music begins to play in various stores, colorful lights are hung on both sides of the streets, and red, green and gold decorations embellish the Christmas trees outside the windows.

In the bustling market, colorful decorations and merchandise attract people's attention. The stalls of small vendors are filled with various items and delicacies with Christmas elements. Their faces are filled with warm smiles, and they keep greeting pedestrians on the street.

Lian Lin Qiu also hung a circle of small colored lights around the newsstand to suit the occasion. The lights flickered and looked eye-catching and warm on the street corner.

The whole city is immersed in a sea of ​​joy and warmth.

When the old couple has nothing to do in the evening, they take their granddaughter to the street to see the Western sights that can't be seen in the countryside, and to try the fancy candies and strange-looking gingerbread. The old and the young happily feel the Christmas atmosphere every day.

Maybe because she goes out more often, Wang Shan hums "Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells..." when she has nothing to do.

On the afternoon before Christmas, Lin Ping, who hadn't been here for a long time, came over with a beautiful little dress and a number of red hats and headbands, and enthusiastically dressed up his niece who had just returned from the nursery.

A cream-colored sweater is covered with a sleeveless bright red skirt and paired with a pair of black knitted pants.

Wang Shan cooperated and turned around. "Is it pretty?"

Zhou Qing straightened her hair and praised her, "She's so beautiful! This dress is a good buy. It makes my Shanshan look like a snow doll, with white and bright skin!"

Wang Shan's eyes lit up with praise and she turned her gaze to Lin Ping.

Lin Ping immediately understood what he meant and looked around, "Well, this dress looks really beautiful on Shanshan, like a fairy!"

Lin Ting didn't even need his granddaughter to remind him, and immediately said, "It looks great!"

Wang Shan then pinched the hem of her skirt and looked around, then thanked Lin Ping with satisfaction.

Lin Ping felt even happier when he heard her sweet voice, and he put the red Christmas hat on her again.

The red hat has a white brim, and a small snowball is attached to the tip of the hat.

After Wang Shan put it on and turned it slightly, the little snowball began to sway left and right.

"Grandpa, can you hold me and let me look in the mirror?"

Wang Shan looked at Lin Ting, her big black and white eyes were full of requests. Anyone who saw such eyes would agree to her request without hesitation.

Lin Ting picked her up, walked to the mirror in the bathroom, and moved closer to the mirror so that she could see more carefully.

Wang Shan stretched out her hand to pull at her hat, then smiled happily, "I'm so beautiful!"

Then, stand in front of the mirror and admire your own beauty.

"You little conceited girl!" Lin Ping tapped her little nose, "Do you want to go out and play with your aunt?"

“Yes, yes, yes!”

When Wang Shan heard Lin Ping's suggestion, she immediately wanted to slide off Lin Ting.

Seeing this, Lin Ting quickly put her down and said, "Don't worry, don't worry!"

Wang Shan held Lin Ping's hand tightly, fearing that she would abandon her.

"Pingping, there will be a lot of people on the street today. You must hold Shanshan's hand tightly and never let go. Do you hear me?"

Zhou Qing was a little worried and reminded him again and again, "How about I go with you?"

"No!"

Lin Ping refused directly and paused, "I promise to hold Shanshan's hand and not let go!"

Lin Ting looked at Lin Ping suspiciously.

Lin Ping looked away uncomfortably, "They are all young people, it's not appropriate for Mom to go with them."

"Okay then, just take good care of Shanshan!" When Zhou Qing heard that they were all young people, he felt embarrassed to follow them.

"Then let's go first!"

Lin Ping pulled Wang Shan and walked out impatiently.

"No one's urging you, why are you in such a hurry?" Zhou Qing muttered when he saw the backs of the two people, one big and one small, running away.

Lin Ting didn't say anything. He walked to the balcony and looked outside in deep thought.

"Where's Shanshan?"

When Lin Qiu came home from get off work, he was a little surprised to see that his daughter was not at home.

Zhou Qing brought the cooked dishes to the table, "Pingping took Shanshan out to play, saying that there were some young people with her."

“Then he must have attended that foreign festival!” Wang Xiuren served the meal and brought it out.

"Why haven't you come back yet? You didn't even say whether you would come back for dinner!" Lin Qing walked to the balcony and looked out.

"Let's not wait for them, let's eat first!" Lin Ting sat down first, "She's such a grown-up, and she has money on her, she won't starve!"

"Mom, stop looking and eat first. The food will get cold quickly in this kind of weather!" Lin Qiu pushed Zhou Qing to the dining room and forced her to sit down.

"I'm just worried that Pingping, who is clumsy, won't be able to take good care of Shanshan." Zhou Qing picked up the bowl, still worried.

"Mom, don't worry. Shanshan has a dog nose. She won't go hungry if she follows Pingping!" Wang Xiuren smiled and comforted her, "She probably saw too many delicious foods on the street and couldn't walk anymore. Don't worry!"

"Shanshan has a good nose!"

Lin Ting smiled and continued, "Two days ago, your mother and I took her for a walk in the community. We didn't smell anything, but she said she smelled roasted sweet potatoes. She dragged your mother and me to the west gate, and it turned out that there was a young man selling roasted sweet potatoes there!"

"That's not a dog's nose, that's a delicious nose!"

When Lin Qiu said this, the other people burst into laughter.

It was almost eight o'clock when Lin Ping and Wang Shan returned with a full load.

Lin Ping was holding a bag in his left hand, which contained cakes, strawberries, chocolates and other expensive food. He was holding Wang Shan's hand with his right hand. Wang Shan was holding a giant panda doll that was almost as tall as her in one hand with great difficulty. One of the panda's feet was dragging on the ground.

As soon as she entered the door, Wang Shan let go of Lin Ping's hand, hugged the giant panda doll with both hands, and ran to show it off to her family.

Everyone cooperated and acted surprised, which really satisfied her vanity.

"Is it fun for Shanshan to go out with your aunt?" Lin Ting carried her and the doll to the sofa and asked with interest.

“It’s so much fun!”

When it comes to this, Wang Shan has a lot to say.

"We played balloon punching, ring tossing, and catching dolls! It was so much fun, but I was too small to catch them!"

"Your aunt is so amazing that she could catch such a big panda!" Lin Ting glanced at Lin Ping calmly.

"My aunt didn't catch it! She and I are the same. The giant panda is..."

"Shanshan!"

Wang Shan was interrupted by Lin Ping before she could finish her words.

Everyone's eyes turned to Lin Ping.

"I, I, I was asking Shanshan if she wanted to eat more strawberries!" Lin Ping pretended to be calm.

"Just ask, why are you making such a loud noise? Be careful not to scare Shanshan. Children are unstable, so don't shout for no reason!" Zhou Qing glared at Lin Ping in reproach.

"I understand!" Lin Ping quickly agreed, "It's getting late, I'll go back to the dormitory first!"

"It's so late, why don't we stay here for one night and go back tomorrow?" Lin Qiu felt it was not safe so late at night.

"No, no!" Lin Ping refused. "There's a lot of work to do at the factory tomorrow. I want to do more!"

"Then let your brother-in-law take you back?"

“No, no!” Lin Ping waved his hands quickly, “Brother-in-law is tired after a day, let him rest. I’ll run back from the main road, it’ll be quick!”

After saying that, without waiting for anyone to reply, he changed his shoes and ran out, as if someone was chasing him.

"snort!"

Lin Ting snorted softly. Judging from the way his little daughter ran away, he didn't believe that there was nothing behind it!

When Wang Shan dozed off, Lin Ting used the excuse of coaxing Shanshan to sleep and started to ask some questions.

It was just a cliché, which meant he just asked Wang Shan a question.

"Shanshan, tell grandpa, who caught the giant panda?"

Wang Shan's eyelids kept drooping, and she answered unconsciously: "I didn't catch it, but Uncle Yang caught it. He is so powerful!"

"Oh! It's a set, he is so awesome!" Lin Ting muttered while patting his granddaughter's back gently.

Isn’t that amazing!

The cabbages in the house were almost taken away, and no one in the house noticed!
