Three days later,
the sound of firecrackers rang out, and their store in Fengdu opened.
The newly opened store is in a good location, on the main street of Fengdu City, and there is a constant flow of people coming and going in front of the door.
The door opened, and the unique decoration inside the store was bright and spacious. It merged two stores into one store, with a unique style. It was filled with all kinds of novel small things, full of dazzling things, and even people in Fengdu had never seen it.
Passers-by standing outside the door looked at the newly opened store curiously, and they all stood here, curiously talking about what this newly opened store does. Clever? What does this store sell? It was the first time they had seen a shop with such a name.
How clever was the idea? To have such a name.
"Dear fellow villagers, our shop is newly opened. Don't miss it if you pass by. Starting from today for three consecutive days, all purchases in our shop will be buy one get one free. Everyone come into the shop and have a look..." the manager shouted in front of the door.
A row of guys wearing the same clothes following behind the manager received the manager's eyes, and they all stepped forward, smiling and explaining to the crowds watching the excitement what the children were riding, and begging customers to come into the shop to have a look. A
small bicycle was placed in front of the door, and a child with two small braids rode on the bicycle, pedaling on the two pedals, and the rolling wheels drove the bicycle to move, and they had a lot of fun. The people standing at the door watching the excitement were staring with wide eyes. A car that can move by itself without being pulled by oxen or horses?
"What is this?" someone asked.
The people around shook their heads and didn't know.
The manager explained to everyone what the children were riding in a timely manner. After listening, everyone suddenly realized that this was it.
There really is a car that can be pedaled to move. Even if they saw it with their own eyes, some people still couldn't believe what they saw. These toys are the most attractive to children. The children standing at the door had their eyes glued to the cars and refused to move.
"Mom, I want it, I want it."
"I want it too, I want it too."
When the children who followed their father and mother saw the fun things, they all pulled their father and mother to ask for them, and no matter how they were coaxed, they would not move. Unable to resist the children around him, as parents love their children, and people in Fengdu City have plenty of money, they took their children into the store.
"Ah, ah..." Yes, yes.
Even the half-grown little Baoer leaned over and pointed at the cars that others were playing with, babbling, his eyes following the moving cars. Qi Wanfeng could hardly hold the little guy in his arms.
The child was growing up day by day, and he knew how to express himself. Now, the little Baoer was strongly saying that he wanted to play with the cars.
Upon seeing the look on Xiaobao'er's face, Cao Xiangnan burst out laughing and told him, "You don't know how to play yet. You need to be older to play. You won't be able to play even if I give it to you now." He can't even walk, and his feet aren't long enough, but he wants to ride a bike by himself? Isn't he too eager to get rich
overnight? But Xiaobao doesn't listen to reason. He babbles for a long time but still can't get what he wants, so he pouts and looks like he's about to cry.
Cao Xiangnan turns his face away and pretends he didn't see the little guy pretending to cry. Is he going to become more and more clever as he grows up, or are all his children weird? At such a young age, he knows how to pretend to cry to get what he wants.
This is unacceptable!
Humph, I don't care about you, you can continue to cry.
Cao Ruile, who was in Gan Weiqi's arms, was not interested at all. Lele had slept enough today and no longer half-closed his eyes as if he was about to fall asleep. He was still in good spirits, but he was not very interested in everything around him.
For a while, this newly opened shop attracted many passers-by, who all stopped to watch the excitement. Many passers-by who came to watch the excitement entered the store. The well-trained guys explained the things in the store to the customers. Soon, the customers who had entered came out with small carts, followed by happy children.
After the first one, there was the second one, and business began to come in.
"Ah, ah, ah..."
I want it, I want it! Seeing that others had it but he didn't, Xiaobaoer was not happy and was about to cry.
Qi Wanfeng couldn't bear to see Xiaobaoer being wronged, so he looked at his husband silently. A face of one big and one small looked at him. Cao Xiangnan quickly surrendered and said, "Let's go, let's go in and take a look." He led the big and one small to go in. Qi Wanfeng followed behind her husband with little Baoer in his arms, with a smile in his eyes.
Little Baoer was a little kid with a big smile showing a few small front teeth.
Gan Weiqi also followed with little Lele in his arms. Little Lele sat in the arms of the person holding him steadily, like a little landlord.
"Stop!"
A carriage passing by on the road heard the noisy sound outside. The people in the carriage seemed to be curious and lifted the curtain to take a look outside. After a glance, they saw a familiar figure and suddenly shouted.
The driver stopped the horse and the carriage stopped.
"Sir, what's the matter?" The steward outside the carriage didn't know why their master suddenly stopped the carriage, so he bent over to ask.
Arnold...
The curtain was lifted, and the master in the carriage was helped down from the carriage. His eyes were fixed on the place he had just passed by. In front of him were pedestrians coming and going. He looked carefully, but the figure he had just seen was no longer there.
One turned around, another came, and he missed it just like that.
"Sir, who are you looking for?" The steward who followed him was familiar with their master, so he asked.
"I think I saw it wrong." The master in a wide-sleeved white robe had an elegant appearance, no white beard, and white hair on his temples. He must have been a handsome man when he was young. He didn't find the person he wanted to find, and there was a flash of disappointment in his eyes. His Arnoye should be in his forties, but how could he still be in his twenties? He must have seen it wrong.
He only hoped to find his beloved Arnoye and their children in his lifetime...
Seeing their master getting on the carriage, the steward quickly reached out to help their master get on, not knowing who their master was looking for just now.
"Let's go." The person inside said.
The steward waved his hand and asked the coachman to hurry up. The coachman drove the horse away, followed by the servants and guards. The steward looked back at the newly opened shop. He noticed their master's strange behavior today and kept it in mind.
Qi Wanfeng, who was walking inside, suddenly stopped, turned his head to look outside, and did not look back for a long time.
"Wanfeng, what's wrong?" Cao Xiangnan saw Qi Wanfeng looking outside, followed his gaze, and didn't see anything, so he couldn't help asking. Qi Wanfeng shook his head, with a lingering strange feeling in his heart. Seeing the concern on his husband's face, he smiled and said, "Nothing."
"Then let's go in."
The carriage slowly drove away and disappeared at the end of the street.
Looking back, they satisfied Xiaobaoer and helped him sit in the small carriage. When he was picked up, he still refused to stop, babbling and making trouble.
Cao Xiangnan was so angry that he wanted to spank the little bad boy. He ignored the child's crying and stood up with the child in his arms. He said without any discussion, "Let's stop today. If you want to play, you can play tomorrow. If you keep being naughty, you will be spanked!"
He had never spanked his children before. The most disobedient one was Xiao Baoer. He wanted to spank this bad boy more than once.
"Ah, ah..." Xiao Baoer was also angry!
"Pa!" A small slap hit his face. Cao Xiangnan was so angry that his teeth itched when he saw the angry little face. He grabbed the little hand that hit him and put it in his mouth to bite it. He didn't want to really bite it with his teeth, so he pressed his lips and took a sip.
"Wow..." Xiao Baoer really cried.
"..." It's unfair! Cao Xiangnan felt that he was more wronged than Dou E. He didn't know if it would snow in July.
Cao Ruile, who had witnessed the whole scene, stretched out his short hands to cover his eyes, looking ashamed to watch. Gan Weiqi, who was holding him, noticed the child's behavior, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
In the end, the naughty little Baoer was coaxed by Qi Wanfeng, and his little face was extremely aggrieved.
When leaving, Cao Xiangnan asked someone to send a small car to where he lived, because he couldn't bear to let Xiao Baoer down.
The time was almost up, and he planned to take Wanfeng and the children to Yipinzhai for dinner, and take them for a walk in Fengdu City. He hadn't had time to accompany Wanfeng and the children these days since he came to Fengdu. It happened that he was free today, so he played in Fengdu City for a day and a half, so as not to go back home, and he didn't know when he would come next time.
The weather was getting colder, and they couldn't stay in Fengdu for long. They had children at home. Even if they wanted to take the children back home on a snowy day, it would be difficult to travel. They had to go back before winter came.
The new store had good business on the first day of opening. The location of the store was well chosen, and the business was managed by the manager assigned by Shen Zhengyang. Cao Xiangnan didn't interfere in the store's affairs, and it was impossible for him to stay in Fengdu to manage the store. The most he could do was to provide drawings to Shen Zhengyang, and then let his craftsmen make them.
When they left, Shen Zhengyang went with them, handed the store to the manager he assigned, and the group went to Yipinzhai.
Children are the least likely to bear grudges. They were angry with him just now, but now they are feeding him obediently in his arms. Cao Xiangnan held little Baoer in his arms and fed him soft porridge mouthful by mouthful. He found the child so cute.
Shopkeeper Zhong came up and took a closer look at little Baoer. Fortunately, he didn't doubt anything. He said hello and went out. After shopkeeper Zhong went out, Cao Xiangnan and Qi Wanfeng exchanged a glance. Neither of them said anything about little Baoer.
After lunch, they went to play in Fengdu City.
