"The goods have arrived! The goods have arrived! Two truckloads of goods have arrived!"
Upon hearing that goods had arrived, several stalls shouted that they had received large takeout orders.
Once the supply of goods arrived, there wasn't much left after delivering all the takeout orders, which really worried Old Man Chen.
Seeing his father's troubled expression, Chen Kai laughed and said, "Dad, don't worry, you should be happy! Look, our family made so much money today!"
Thinking about the money his family had earned that day, Old Man Chen's worried expression vanished, and he smiled, saying, "My good son, is there anything you want to eat? Dad will buy it for you."
When Old Man Chen saw his obedient son shake his head, he asked, "Do you want to eat wontons? I bought an extra portion when I bought them for Xiao Tian earlier."
Right now, Xiaotian is sitting on a small stool, eating wontons with a spoon.
Chen Kai said, "Okay, I want to eat wontons too."
Chen Kai sat down next to Xiao Tian, and Old Man Chen brought over the takeout wontons and placed them in front of Chen Kai.
While eating, Chen Kai said, "I wish there were chili peppers; I want to eat spicy food."
Xiao Tian ate his wontons without saying a word; he preferred to eat lighter foods.
Chen Kai said, "Let's go buy some livestock later. If we raise our own, we can eat meat more often. Xiao Tian, are you coming?"
Xiao Tian took a few sips of soup and said, "Go, I need to get something."
Chen Kai was completely bewildered.
The Chen family's supply of cold drinks was indeed insufficient. As soon as the supplies arrived, they were basically snapped up by merchants who ordered takeout. So Old Man Chen had to remove a few more stalls, and the village chief found a few more households to squeeze in.
Seeing that his older brother and the others had also freed up some time, Chen Kai called out, "Big brother, take us to the animal market!"
Boss Chen said, "Okay, let's go for a walk. Zhou Kai, Zhou Yu, come on, let's go together. Zhou Kai, you carry Xiao Tian."
Zhou Kaigang tried to pick Xiaotian up, but Xiaotian turned and walked away.
Chen Laoda said helplessly, "Fine, I'll carry Xiaotian, you carry Chen Kai."
Zhou Kai picked up Chen Kai and muttered, "Why is Xiao Tian still shy around strangers?"
Once outside the stall, it was incredibly crowded; once on the street, it was even more packed with people.
Even though Chen Kai was being hugged, he was still squeezed and felt very uncomfortable, like he was on a crowded subway.
Old Chen shouted, "No, this street is impassable. Let's go around. Let's go through the alley over there and go around the residential area."
There were too many people, it was too crowded, so Boss Chen had no choice but to hold Xiao Tian in his arms and squeeze his way into the alley.
They entered the alley and leaned against the wall, panting heavily. Finally, there weren't so many people around.
Chen Kai said, "It's so crowded here, I don't know how Mom and the others managed to squeeze their way to the flower festival to see the flowers."
Boss Chen said, "You have to pay to get into the flower festival, and there are people maintaining order there, so it's not as crowded as it is here."
Chen Kai asked curiously, "Then how did Mom and the others see the flowers?" He didn't think his mother would spend money to see any flowers.
Old Chen shook his head and said, "I don't know either."
At this moment, the Zhou family and their group had managed to snag a large tree near the flower viewing area, and were letting the younger children climb up to watch the excitement. The surrounding trees were all packed with people; they had only managed to secure one tree after much difficulty.
The closer Chen and his group got to the residential area, the fewer people there were, and the streets in the residential area were quiet.
Chen Kai said, "It's so quiet here!"
Zhou Kai laughed and said, "Everyone who lives here has gone to watch the excitement, so it's quiet here."
As they walked, they passed by the wall of a house and smelled a pleasant fragrance of flowers.
Zhou Kai asked, "What flower is this? It smells quite nice."
Chen Kai said, "It smells like roses."
Xiao Tian wriggled in Chen Laoda's arms and said, "I want to play with the flowers inside, the kind that smell nice."
Chen Laoda and his group stopped.
Old Chen looked up at the high wall, then down at Xiao Tian, and asked hesitantly, "Do you really want it?"
Xiao Tian nodded and said firmly, "Yes!"
Zhou Kai peeked around and, seeing no one, whispered, "Let's go in and steal it. It's just some flowers and plants, not worth much money."
Chen Kai rolled his eyes speechlessly. This walled area must be someone's back garden, and the flowers grown by wealthy families must be precious.
Boss Chen looked around and, seeing no one, said, "Alright! Xiao Tian, you two keep watch. Zhou Kai, you and I will set up the scaffold. Let Zhou Yu climb up first and check if anyone is inside. If no one is, we'll pick it out quickly."
Before long, Boss Chen and Zhou Kai had set up the scaffold with their hands. Zhou Yu stepped onto it and saw many beautiful flowers inside the wall, but no one was there. So she turned her head and whispered, "There's no one inside!"
Zhou Kai said, "Then hurry up and climb up."
Xiao Tian said, "When you pick flowers, pull up a few branches by the roots as well."
Zhou Kaiying replied, "Okay!"
Chen Laoda and Zhou Kai used all their strength to push Zhou Yu upwards, and Zhou Yu also tried her best to climb up.
Chen Kai's lips twitched as he watched. There were thorns on the roses; he'd see how they pulled them out once they went inside.
Soon, Zhou Yu climbed up, then he pulled Zhou Kai up, and then the two of them together pulled Boss Chen up.
The three of them squatted on the wall, looking at the flowers and plants inside. The flowers at the bottom of the wall seemed to have thorns, so how were they supposed to jump over them?
Xiao Tian was still outside urging, "Hurry up and go in."
The three of them, Chen and his brother, looked at each other, wondering how they were going to jump.
After observing for a while, Boss Chen pointed to a spot and said, "Let's move over there. There are fewer flowers and plants there. We'll jump as far as we can and try to get over those flowers."
Seeing that they weren't jumping down but were still slowly inching along the wall, Chen Kai said anxiously, "You guys hurry up and get over there, what if someone finds us?"
After Chen Laoda and his men jumped down, they were also stumped by the large patch of flowers. The pleasant fragrance was from these flowers, but the branches had thorns and were difficult to pull out!
Zhou Yu said, "I'll take off my coat, and we'll wrap our hands in it to pull it out."
Chen nodded, and after Zhou Yu took off her coat, he carefully began to pull it off, wrapping his hands in the coat.
After picking flowers for a while, Old Chen looked around and saw many beautiful flowers and plants he had never seen before. So he ran over, picked a few, and threw them out.
