Juanjuan, whose adoptive parents had died, was sold by her uncle for ten silver dollars into the Warlord's Mansion to bring good luck to the severely ill only son, Si Jinchen.
She thought...
Chapter 254 Flying a Kite
Siming stretched out his hand and felt the wind blowing through his fingers: "Yes!"
Juanjuan looked at the kite in his hand curiously. She had drawn it herself and asked, "Dad, how do I fly it?"
She looked at the kite curiously, wondering how to make it fly.
"Juanjuan, hold the string and run forward." Siming gave her the string and held the kite above his head with both hands.
"Okay!" Juanjuan agreed clearly, pulling the string and running forward.
Siming waited until the kite string was straightened, then gently released his hand holding the kite.
A gust of wind blew, and the kite was gently blown into the sky.
"Juanjuan, you don't have to run anymore." Siming ran towards her.
Juanjuan immediately stopped and turned to look at Siming.
Siming ran to her side, squatted down, and pointed at the kite in the sky: "Look, it's flying."
Juanjuan looked up at the sky and saw colorful kites flying in the sky.
Her eyes widened in surprise: "Wow! It flies so high."
Siming reached out and taught her how to fly a kite: "Pull the string gently like this, and it will slowly fly higher. Then you slowly release the string."
Juanjuan slowly loosened the rope in her hand and saw the kite flying higher and higher.
She opened her mouth and stared at the kite in the sky without blinking: "Dad, will it come back?"
"Yes!" Siming taught her to reel in the line slowly: "Like this, it will fall down slowly."
"Dad! Will it be lonely?" Juanjuan turned and looked at him.
"Look." Siming pointed at the kite flying in the distance: "It has friends too!"
"Hehe!" Juanjuan laughed happily.
Mrs. Si took out her camera and took a picture of this scene.
The butler and the others were just watching from the side. The governor and the young lady were really nice.
Juanjuan was tired from playing. The wind gradually died down in the sky and the kite began to slowly fall down. "Dad! Is the kite tired too?"
"Yes! It's time for it to rest too." Siming taught her to slowly reel in the kite string until the kite slowly fell to the ground.
He stood up and picked up the kite, checking that it was not damaged. "Let's put it away and play with it next time."
Juanjuan nodded vigorously, ran over and took his big hand: "It's the most fun to play with Dad."
Siming's face was full of smiles: "Aren't you having fun playing with your brother?"
"Happy!" Juanjuan answered without any hesitation.
Siming asked Juanjuan to follow Wu Ma to wash her face, and her little face was covered in sweat.
He went to Si Jinchen's room and saw him still drawing a diagram of the gun's structure with his head down: "What are your ideas?"
"Dad!" Si Jinchen turned around and saw him beside him.
"Let me see." Si Ming picked up the drawing he drew and took a look.
Si Jinchen sat up straight and pointed at some of the parts in the painting: "It's just some ideas, I don't know how the finished product will turn out."
"Tell me about it." Siming looked at the gun structure on the drawing. It should be the disassembly of the Jin-made Mauser pistol.
"I can't change the materials and process, but the structure should be able to be optimized." Si Jinchen expressed his thoughts.
"Is this your idea?" Siming picked up the other drawings on the ground and started looking at them.
Si Jinchen nodded: "I don't feel comfortable with the design of the grip, so I've made some improvements. I'm considering changing the angle or adding rubber pads."
"There's also the issue of spring stability. I don't have a way to do an experiment here, so it's just a hypothesis." He pointed to a place and said.
Siming looked at it and nodded: "It's a good idea. Is there anything else you want to change?"
"There are still many things that need to be changed, but I haven't figured out how to change them yet." Si Jinchen thought a lot in his mind, but in the end he still felt that it was not a good idea.
"Don't be anxious, you can think about it slowly. Sometimes when you really can't figure it out, don't force yourself to think about it, it will only make you tired." Siming raised his big hand and rubbed his head.
"I understand, Dad. I don't plan to think about it anymore. I'll just draw some ideas. Maybe I'll figure it out someday." Si Jinchen looked at him with a smile.
"That's right. Sometimes if you relax, you might get unexpected rewards." Si Ming had a smile on his face.
"Dad, brother, it's time to eat." Juanjuan ran over and called them to eat.
"Juanjuan, Aunt, are they back?" Si Jinchen turned to look at the person standing at the door.
"I'm back. Auntie and the others will come down after changing their clothes." Juanjuan nodded.
Si Ming helped Si Jinchen put away his things, took his hand to the door, and then took Juanjuan's hand to go to the restaurant together.
After they were seated, others came back and sat down one after another.
Si Ning saw the two children's faces were full of smiles: "Is it fun to go out of town today?"
"It's fun! My brother and I met a lot of brothers and sisters." Juanjuan answered seriously.
"That's great!" Si Ning never felt that her children couldn't make friends.
"Sister, I heard from Bailing that you sent some pure water to the store today?" Si Tian remembered what Bailing said today.
"Well, it just happened to be extracted from the distiller. I use the essential oils for other things, and the hydrosol can be used for skin care. I think it's very good, so I sent some to Rouge Button."
Si Ning looked at him after saying this: "Isn't it hard to sell?"
"How can it be that it's not selling well? People are rushing to buy it. All the reservations have been taken." Si Tian was a little confused when he received the call.
"That's good. When Bailing comes back tonight, I'll see what kind of scented hydrosol sells best. I'll ask the women in the workshop to make more tomorrow."
Si Ning felt relieved when he heard this. It made no sense for them to think that good things couldn't be sold.
"By the way, Director Chen, the Qian and Zhang families have already signed the contract, and the money has been sent. Aunt Wu may go and teach them how to make milk tea tomorrow."
Si Tian turned around and talked about business with Wu Ma.
"Second Master, let them go to the store tomorrow. I will go there directly to teach them, and they can also help us with work." Aunt Wu smiled brightly.
"Auntie Wu, do you want free labor?" Everyone laughed after Si Tian said that.
"It doesn't matter where you study. Just help us with some work and it will serve as tuition." Aunt Wu blinked innocently.
"Okay, I'll have them come to the store to find you tomorrow, but they might need five people to go to each store. Can the store accommodate so many people?"
Madam Si calculated that it would be a bit crowded if they went together.
"Second Master, let them come in three days. One reason is that the store can't accommodate so many people, and the other is that I'm afraid I won't be able to teach them all." Aunt Wu said after thinking for a while.
"Okay, I'll see which family will go first tomorrow, but I'll have to thank you for your hard work in the next three days." Si Tian said apologetically.
Wu Ma raised her hand and waved it casually: "That's not the case."
After everyone finished dinner in the evening, Madam Si and Si Ning took the two children for a walk to help digest the food.
