Chapter 156 Can I buy candy with my New Year’s money?

The umbrella business outside Xinyizhuang is booming. Who can resist a cute little mushroom?

Plus, these umbrellas are really cheap, so ordinary people can buy one.

In the end, even the umbrella in Juanjuan's hand was bought by someone else. Those who didn't buy one can only come back tomorrow.

Juanjuan lay on the display cabinet of the new clothing store and looked at the sky outside, only to see that the originally clear sky was windy again, making it difficult for people to walk.

Si Jinchen lay beside her: "It's going to rain heavily."

"Yes! Fortunately, we have sold all the umbrellas." Liu Yueya looked at the strong wind outside and felt that it was going to rain heavily.

The lights in the shop were on and the doors were closed. Many posters were blown all over the street by the strong wind.

"Wow! They run so fast." Juanjuan looked at the posters that were running very fast.

"Juanjuan, look, they are flying." Si Jinchen pointed at the flying posters.

Several children looked up at the sky and saw the poster flying higher and higher.

The light bulbs in the shop flickered for a moment and then went completely dark.

"It should be the voltage instability." The clerk looked at the off light.

Madam Si walked over to the children and said, "It's okay. It looks like the rain is going to get heavy. Let's just take a break today."

The sky gradually darkened, and the lightning and thunder looked a little scary.

Juanjuan hugged Si Jinchen with some fear, and there was some fear in her big eyes.

Si Jinchen covered her ears with her hands: "It's okay, it will be over in a while."

“Tick, tick!”

“Wow, wow, wow!”

The rain was pouring down and they could even hear the howling of the wind.

After nearly two hours of rain, the heavy rain gradually subsided and the lightning and thunder disappeared.

"Zizila! Zizila!" The lights in the shop came on again.

"It's raining so heavily!" The clerk saw that some rain was coming in through the crack in the door, and hurriedly picked up the mop to clean up.

Madam Si looked at the already brightening sky and said, "Spring rain is as precious as oil! It looks like this year will be a good omen."

The first man who bought an umbrella today walked on the street holding a transparent black umbrella, looking up at the raindrops falling on the umbrella.

What the little girl said was quite accurate. It really rained today.

Juanjuan looked towards the Governor's Mansion with a somewhat lonely expression.

The housekeeper watched as the snowman in the yard completely melted into rainwater, leaving only the red scarf Juanjuan had given it.

I'm afraid the young lady will be sad again when she comes back, because she likes this snowman very much.

I went to pick up the red scarf with an umbrella, washed it and hung it next to the fireplace to dry.

When Juanjuan returned home, he ran to the yard and saw that the snowman was no longer where it had been.

Her nose felt a little sore, and she raised her little arm to wipe her eyes.

Her voice was small and nasal: "Snowman, see you in winter!"

"Juanjuan." Si Jinchen stood beside her and saw that her eyes were slightly red, so he called her softly.

"Brother, let's go back. We can see it again in winter." Juanjuan turned around and smiled brightly at him, then took his hand and ran into the house.

Old Madam Si looked at the two children coming back with a faint smile on her face.

Juanjuan looked at the red scarf next to the fireplace and raised her little face: "Next year I will put on a red scarf for you and buy you a beautiful hat."

A heavy rain seemed to awaken the sleeping earth, and all things began to revive.

Juanjuan sat on a small stool outside the door, looking at the yard, wondering what she was thinking.

Seeing that she looked listless, Madam Si said, "Juanjuan, do you want to go to the teahouse and listen to some opera?"

"Is this the place grandma took us to last time?" Juanjuan's eyes immediately lit up.

"Yes! Do you want to go?" Old Madam Si looked at her with a smile.

"Go, I'll go call my brother." Juanjuan immediately stood up and ran towards the house: "Brother."

Si Jinchen and Ma Yang were pulled out by her and got into the vintage car together.

They arrived at the teahouse and asked for a private room, which had a great location and could see the stage downstairs.

Many people came over to greet Madam Si when they saw her: "Madam Si, it's been a long time since I saw you come to the teahouse to listen to opera."

"I have no choice. I have a lot of things to do at home. Today I finally got some free time, so I brought the kids to watch the opera."

Mrs. Si was chatting with someone she knew, but she didn't notice that a little kid had climbed onto the stool, picked up her teacup and took a sip.

Juanjuan stuck out her tongue bitterly, her little face wrinkled.

"Oh! You little girl, if you drink this bitter tea, you won't be able to sleep at night." Old Madam Si turned around and saw her little expression.

"Grandma, it tastes so bad. I need to add milk and sugar." Juanjuan said with disgust.

"How can you add milk and sugar to tea?" Old Madam Si was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

She didn't know what to say, she bought them soda, but wanted to taste her tea.

I just hope she won’t have trouble sleeping tonight, otherwise she’ll have a headache going to class tomorrow.

Juanjuan quickly ran to the railing to watch the opera. Although she didn't understand it, it didn't stop her from enjoying the fun.

When she heard others cheering and applauding, she also clapped her hands vigorously.

This made Ma Yang and Si Jinchen, who were standing by, laugh.

Old Madam Si smiled and shook her head. None of these three little guys really understood opera. Si Jinchen seldom came, so Ma Yang had no chance.

As for the little guy Juanjuan, I'm afraid it will be the same even if he comes a few more times.

The opera was performed lively and the cheers in the teahouse did not stop.

After the show was over, the three children followed Mrs. Si away reluctantly.

Juanjuan was still humming in the car, but it didn't sound quite right.

Si Jinchen smiled and looked outside: "Grandma, is this the welfare home?"

Madam Si turned her head and looked out the window: "Xiao Zhang, stop the car."

The car stopped by the roadside.

"This is an orphanage. Do you want to go in and take a look?" Old Madam Si asked the children.

"Grandma, what is the welfare home?" Juanjuan looked at her with confusion.

"This is a place to take in homeless children." Mrs. Si said as she touched her little head.

"Are they also like Juanjuan? Did their previous mom and dad go to a faraway place?" Juanjuan looked at the welfare home opposite.

From here you can see a lot of children playing inside the gate.

"Yes! So an orphanage was built. There are many children here and they can live here." Old Madam Si looked at the orphanage.

Juanjuan lowered her head and rummaged through her small bag for a long time.

Si Jinchen watched her take out everything from her small bag: "Juanjuan, what are you looking for?"

"Brother, grandma said she was going to visit her friends, and Juanjuan was looking for gifts!" Juanjuan said as she sorted the things in her bag.

She still had ten candies in her bag, but when she looked at the children in the yard across the street, it seemed there were more than ten.

Seeing the New Year's money he had received during the previous Chinese New Year, he turned to look at Madam Si and said, "Grandma, can I buy candy with the New Year's money?"

"Of course you can buy candy. Juanjuan, do you want to buy candy?" Old Madam Si looked at her.
