“I don’t want one that’s that expensive,” Jiang Xuan suddenly thought, “Do you have any used cars in your shop?”
Salesperson: !!
However, since she had just sold a car for 200 yuan, the salesperson was in a good mood and said, "We don't have that kind of thing; everything in my shop is new."
"Okay then, I'll buy that older model one, how about 130?"
"What 130? I just said it's 150, that's already the lowest price."
"Comrade, I've already helped you sell a car for 200 yuan, and you haven't lost a single penny."
"Alright, alright, I'll just sell it to you at a loss, 140."
Bicycles weren't cheap these days, and this one was a brand name, so Jiang Xuan thought it was about right and agreed.
Lu Shengye helped her put the car in the trunk.
On the bus.
Lu Shengye chuckled softly and said, "You really know how to stir things up."
"If Aunt Wang finds out I only bought this one, won't she be furious?"
Lu Shengye nodded. "Possibly."
"That's perfect! Let's ride our bikes to Grandpa's house later. Oh, and let's buy Grandpa some pastries first, shall we?"
Lu Shengye nodded. "Li's Pastry Shop is located near the military region. Let's go back then."
"Are you busy later?"
"you say."
“It’s rare for us to come out, and Dian Dian and Fan Xing are being looked after. It’s not too late yet, so why don’t we go to Xiguan Road for a stroll? After we’re done, we can buy some pastries for Grandpa.”
"OK."
Although Xiguan Road is not far from the military region, it does not actually belong to Guning District, but to the main urban area.
It only took about ten minutes to drive there from the city center.
It was early autumn afternoon.
The air was filled with the aroma of various snacks, mixed with the shouts of vendors, making Xiguan Road a lively and bustling place.
Lu Shengye parked the car.
As soon as they got out of the car, Jiang Xuan naturally took his hand.
Lu Shengye was slightly taken aback, and Jiang Xuan smiled mischievously: "Don't be nervous, this makes us look more like a couple."
Jiang Xuan pointed to a small alley at the end of the alley, "Go in there and you'll find the furniture market. That's where we bought our furniture."
"And this hair salon, I've been there with Sister Lan and Xiuxiu. Sister Lan got her hair permed here. At first, the owner wanted 5 yuan..."
"Oh, by the way, a new Sichuan restaurant has opened here, but I'm having dinner with Grandpa today. I'll bring you here next time."
Lu Shengye listened quietly, nodding with a smile.
Apart from his grandfather, he was a man of few words in front of others.
I don't really like talkative people either.
But surprisingly, he didn't reject Jiang Xuan instinctively; in fact, he even enjoyed listening to her.
"Sold."
Jiang Xuan's eyes lit up, and she quickly pulled Lu Shengye's hand and walked over. "Let's go buy some. I had some with Sister Lan last time. It's very sweet."
"Sir, I'd like two."
Lu Shengye said in a low voice, "I don't eat this."
"Try it."
The old man skillfully operated the machine in his hands. With the hum of the machine, the white sugar threads spun rapidly in his hands into a fluffy shape.
After Jiang Xuan received it, she held it to Lu Shengye's lips, "Try it, it's so sweet!"
The old man watched them with a smile as he worked.
Lu Shengye's ears turned red, and he said awkwardly, "You eat it."
"Take a bite."
Lu Shengye lowered his head slightly, took a small bite, and held it in his mouth with pursed lips.
"How is it? Is it delicious?"
He nodded.
The old man handed over the other one.
Jiang Xuan took it and handed it to Lu Shengye.
Lu Shengye took out some money from his pocket and handed it over.
Lu Shengye felt very uncomfortable. He had never strolled around like this before, let alone walked with one in his arms.
He always felt that this was childish behavior.
Jiang Xuan took a big bite and said, "This isn't a military area, you don't need to be so formal. Just relax when you're out shopping, and eat up."
Seeing that Lu Shengye was still holding back, Jiang Xuan took the food and said, "If you're shy, I'll take it and feed you."
Lu Shengye: ...
"Hey, what's going on up there? There are so many people. Let's go check it out." Jiang Xuan loved to join in the fun.
She put the two in one hand and pulled Lu Shengye forward quickly with her other hand.
It turns out they were playing a ring toss game.
A middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit stood in front of the stall, holding a bunch of colorful rings and calling out:
Come on, give it a try! When luck comes, you can't stop it!
Men, women, young and old, all laughed and cheered; friends and family came to join the fun.
A tiny circle, once thrown out, can trap both the golden rooster and the silver dog.
A dollar or two is nothing, but winning the grand prize brings a smile to your face.
The booth displayed seven rows of various prizes, including plush toys, enamel mugs, toy guns, game consoles, and various trinkets, but the most eye-catching item was the giant bear in the last row.
It's fluffy and quite cute.
Jiang Xuan said excitedly, "I'm really good at this. Just you wait and see, I'll definitely catch that big bear."
Lu Shengye smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's give it a try."
"How much does it cost?" Jiang Xuan asked in a crisp voice.
"One circle costs 20 cents, six circles cost one dollar, and fifteen circles cost two dollars."
As he spoke, the middle-aged man handed over the rings, "Gentlemen, how much money would you like to play?"
An older woman in the crowd said, "Don't try to seduce girls, it's a scam, you can't fool them at all."
The middle-aged man got angry, "Hey, hey, hey, how dare you talk like that?"
"That's just how I am. I've been standing here all afternoon and haven't seen a single one that matches the second row or beyond. The items in the first two rows are only worth a few cents. Why would I spend two cents to try and match them? I'd rather just buy them."
"I shouldn't have listened to you. You don't stay here every day, how do you know no one has won? There are plenty of people who win the big prizes in the last row, and besides, the items in the first row aren't worth much."
The woman pointed to the correction sheets in the first row and said, "You dare say that thing doesn't cost more than a few cents? My granddaughter just bought some two days ago for five cents, and those stickers don't cost more than ten cents either."
The middle-aged man's face immediately turned very ugly.
Just as the two were about to start arguing, an old man couldn't stand it anymore and said, "They set up a stall here, so they can't not make a penny. They can play if they want, and they can not play if they don't want to. They didn't force anyone, and there was no deception involved."
The middle-aged man's expression softened.
Jiang Xuan took out two yuan: "I'll play for two yuan."
She had made up her mind. Not only would she put the big bear on her head, but she would also put the toy water gun on Dian Dian and the star-patterned hair clip on Fan Xing.
Give Lu Shengye a game console.
The middle-aged man, with a broad smile, handed over 13 rings.
All eyes were on Jiang Xuan.
Jiang Xuan stood outside the line, very confident, aiming at the bears in the last row.
The circle flew through the air in a beautiful arc, and then—
