The day after Qingming Festival, the weather finally cleared up.
After breakfast, Chen Wang rode his bicycle and took the little girl to town.
He was going to buy some things, and when he came back he would take his wife and little girl out for a spring outing.
When he made this suggestion last night, the little girl and Lin Xiuqin were both confused and didn't understand what the spring outing was for.
People these days simply don't have the time or energy to go on an outing.
After listening to Chen Wang’s explanation, Lin Xiuqin and the little girl were delighted and agreed with great anticipation.
When we arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative in town, we bought various snacks and drinks, as well as a picnic blanket to spread on the ground.
Put everything in a bag and tie it to the front bar of the bicycle.
"Awang?"
A familiar voice came.
Chen Wang looked up and saw Comrade Xiao Xu walking towards him quickly with a look of surprise on his face.
"Sister Xiao Xu!"
When the little girl saw Xu Meijuan, she greeted her with a sweet smile.
"Hey, little cutie, why are you here today?"
Xiao Xu walked up to her and pinched her cheek with a doting smile.
"I'm here to buy things with my brother. We're going on a spring outing."
The little girl replied with a smile.
"Spring outing?"
Xu Meijuan looked at Chen Wang in surprise.
"Just find a place with a nice view, have a barbecue, fly a kite or something."
Chen Wang explained with a smile.
Xu Meijuan's eyes lit up and she blurted out, "You guys are really good at having fun, take me with you!"
"ah?"
"Oh, what? It just so happens that I have two days off. Take me there, take me there."
Xu Meijuan's eyes were full of anticipation.
"Brother, just take Sister Xu with you!"
The little girl hugged Chen Wang's arm and shook him coquettishly.
"Of course, of course. Then...can you tell uncle? Is Uncle Xu in there?"
They were shopping inside just now and didn't see Xu Tiancheng.
"Well, I'll go in and tell him right away, you guys wait for me."
"good!"
"Be sure to wait for me, I'll be out soon."
Xu Meijuan gave another reminder and then quickly walked into the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Hehe... That's great, it's more fun with more people!"
The little girl said happily.
After waiting for about seven or eight minutes, Comrade Xiao Xu came out with a net bag in his hand filled with a lot of snacks.
"Okay, let's go!"
"Sister Xiao Xu, why did you bring so many snacks? We bought them."
"It's okay. I can't join you without bringing anything. Let's go. Do you want to buy anything?"
"Go buy a kite, and then buy some seasonings, barbecue ingredients and the like."
Chen Wang replied with a smile.
"Then hurry up and go!"
After saying that, Xu Meijuan took the little girl's hand and walked in front to lead the way.
"Do you have a bicycle at home? My bike can't fit."
Chen Wang spoke up to remind him.
"Oh, yes."
Xu Meijuan clapped her head in realization, looked at Chen Wang and suggested, "Then you go shopping, I'll wait for you at home, and then we'll ride over together."
"Can!"
Chen Wang nodded.
"Okay, I'll go first."
Xu Meijuan rubbed the little girl's head and walked towards her home.
"Sister Xiao Xu, see you later!"
The little girl waved goodbye.
"Hey, come quickly!"
Xu Meijuan nodded happily in response.
After watching her walk away, Chen Wang pushed his bicycle and took the little girl to the market.
With the transformation of the market economy, the stalls in the market have become more and more diversified, and basically you can find whatever you need.
"Brother, it's so lively here!"
The little girl looked around like a curious baby, and her eyes lit up when she saw stalls selling food.
I bought seasonings and some vegetables suitable for barbecue from several stalls, and also ordered a piece of beef.
We have home-dried lamb, wild boar meat, roe deer meat, etc.
I also bought some chicken feet, chicken wings and so on.
I also bought two candied haws, wrapped one in paper to take back, and gave the other to the little girl, who ate it with relish.
"Brother, look, is that a place selling kites?"
The little girl suddenly spoke and pointed to a stall not far ahead.
Chen Wang looked over and nodded, "Yes, let's go and take a look."
"Uh-huh!"
The brother and sister came to the stall and scanned the kites of various shapes on the stall.
These are all handmade traditional kites, made mainly of bamboo strips and fiber paper, and they look quite delicately made.
The stall owner was an old man who looked to be in his fifties. He sat there and looked at them with a smile.
"Boss, did you make this kite yourself? How much do you want for it?"
Chen Wang looked at the old man and asked.
"Yes, I made them all. They're 80 cents each. You can pick any one you like."
The old man replied with a smile.
Chen Wang thought it was a bargain and said to the little girl, "Xiaoyu, pick two!"
"good!"
The little girl happily agreed and started to choose carefully while licking the candied haws in her hand.
Finally, the little girl chose one in the shape of a swallow and one in the shape of a dragonfly.
Chen Wang paid one dollar and sixty cents to the old man.
"Thank you, I can exchange it if you have any problem."
The old man said with a gentle smile.
Chen Wang smiled and nodded.
He wouldn't care too much if a 80-cent item broke, let alone exchange it.
