Chapter 129 Going to Watch a Variety Show
First, he was almost hit by a car; then he was knocked unconscious by a falling flowerpot.
There were too many coincidences. Even if An Lan wanted to deceive himself and say it was an accident, he couldn't.
Coincidentally, today Huang Xinran deliberately threw away the people sent to protect her. This behavior really made people angry!
"I'm sorry. It's my fault. I shouldn't have ignored my own safety and insisted on doing my own thing, making it difficult for you. It's my fault."
Huang Xinran's sincere apology instantly dissipated An Lan's anger.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about the future. Can you tell me what happened?"
"Nothing, it's just that my wife is on a mission recently and I can't contact her..."
Thinking of Lu Yunchen's identity, Huang Xinran smiled and said, "But he should be fine. I believe him!"
An Lan nodded without asking any more questions.
"You are just too concerned. You can't help him, so don't put yourself in danger. Starting tomorrow, you can't run around anymore."
"Okay, I understand."
Huang Xinran also figured it out. Instead of looking for it aimlessly, it would be better to live his life well and wait patiently.
The next day, she was busy as usual.
However, she left the purchase of ingredients and the sale of braised skewers to her eldest brother. She helped her mother make the clothes for which she had paid a deposit. In the afternoon, a customer came with her child to pick up clothes. During the chat, she mentioned that there had been a variety show in the nearby square in the past two days. There were a lot of delicious food and fun things, and it was very lively. Her children were having so much fun that they didn't want to leave.
After the customers left, she thought about how her two children had been in town for a few days and she hadn't been alone with them. Plus, her eldest brother's son, Yuner, was always making noises, so she told her mother and took her eldest sister-in-law and the children to watch the circus.
Yoona is the eldest brother’s son Huang Seung-yoon. Although he is one year older than Yaya and Maomao, he can be even more naughty than the twins.
In addition, the eldest sister-in-law is now holding the younger child, so she is unable to discipline him.
For this reason, Yoona's wildness was further indulged.
After arriving in the city, it only took a few days for him to hang out with Yaya and Maomao, and he became a real little devil.
Huang Xinran was worried that her four children going to the square would create an extra burden for the people who were secretly protecting her, so before leaving the house, she pulled her three children over and repeatedly warned them not to eat anything without permission, not to run around, not to talk to or follow strangers. After the three little ones agreed, she set off to the square in a mighty procession.
Although electricity has been available in big cities these days, and some families have even bought televisions, ordinary people still don't have much entertainment. Otherwise, the business of open-air cinemas wouldn't be so prosperous.
So, hearing that there would be a variety show, more people rushed to the square.
When they arrived, the square was already packed with people and very lively.
A stage was set up in the center of the square. From far away, one could hear the roar of gongs and drums, and there were people performing on the stage. But it was too far away, and with the crowds inside and outside, it was hard to see clearly.
Seeing that there was something lively to watch, the three children let go of the adults' hands and tried to dive into the crowd, but were forcibly restrained by Huang Xinran again.
"Don't run! Have you forgotten what I said before I left the house? Yaya, Yuner, you are not allowed to run around. If you don't obey, I will never take you out again next time. And Yuner, aren't you afraid that I will go back and complain to your father?"
Huang Chengyun was originally looking angry and unhappy, but when Huang Xinran said that she would go back and complain, his anger immediately dissipated.
"I, I'm not afraid. I'm going to run, what can you do to me? Humph, you snitch!"
The naughty boy, about five or six years old, made faces at Huang Xinran, obviously not listening to what Huang Xinran said.
Huang Xinran felt a little overwhelmed and glanced at her sister-in-law.
Wenying held her younger son in one hand and pinched her older son's ear: "Your aunt is talking to you, can't you hear me? Don't run if I tell you not to. If you dare to run, I'll break your legs!"
"Where are they running around?!"
Huang Chengyun yelled in dissatisfaction, turned around and glared at Huang Xinran, obviously unhappy.
"You are still stubborn..."
Seeing Wenying was about to hit again, Huang Xinran quickly stopped her: "Okay, sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, just talk to the child and don't hit him. Look at how lively it is around here. Not to mention the child, even I can't help but want to see the excitement."
Wenying then withdrew her hand: "This child has a stubborn temper, we can't tolerate him."
In fact, the person in the Huang family who is most accustomed to children is Wenying.
Huang Xinran didn't want to talk more about this matter with her sister-in-law, so she simply pointed ahead and said, "Look, it looks like a monkey wearing a wreath. Let's hurry over there."
Everyone had been wanting to see the excitement for a long time, so upon hearing the news, they rushed forward.
Huang Xinran was worried that Yaya and Maomao would get lost, so she held the two children's hands tightly.
As for Yoona, he had already slipped through the crowd and got to the front of the stage to watch the excitement.
Huang Xinran squeezed for a long time and finally saw Yoona, which made her feel a little relieved.
The stage was extremely lively, with many performances coming on stage one after another, such as tightrope walking, juggling, female hoop dancing, flying trapeze, lion dancing... one wonderful performance after another, the crowd was dazzled and their hands turned red from clapping.
When the performance on the stage came to an end, someone came with a copper plate to ask for reward. Huang Xinran was not stingy and put two yuan in as a recognition of the performance. Then he led the children out of the crowd.
"How are you? Are you hot or thirsty? Wait a minute, I'll go buy some popsicles to cool you down."
It's a hot day and I'm squeezed in a crowd. It would be strange if I wasn't hot.
Compared with the countryside, there are many more varieties of ice cream in big cities. The three children lay in front of the foam box, choosing again and again from the ice cream papers on it, and finally they all chose the varieties they liked.
Huang Xinran bought an old popsicle for herself and a red bean popsicle for her sister-in-law, while Yaya and Maomao chose mung bean and red bean popsicles. Only Yuner chose the milk cake popsicle and stuffed it into her mouth without waiting to pay.
"How could you be like this, kid..."
When Wenying saw this, she pinched Huang Chengyun again and smiled awkwardly at Huang Xinran.
"It's okay, it's just a popsicle. If the child likes it, let him eat it." Huang Xinran was not a stingy person, so he paid for everyone's popsicles.
She chose the old popsicle because she thought it tasted purer, not because she couldn't afford the expensive variety. As for the small amount of money Yuner spent on a milk cake, she didn't care. She just felt that this child's temperament was not something she felt when she was in the countryside, but after coming to the city, she felt it very clearly. She felt that she really needed to bend it over.
