The family strolled through Xianyukou Hutong and arrived at the famous Dazhalan in Jingzhou.
Looking up, you can see people coming and going on the long ancient street, with shops of all sizes lining both sides of the street.
Since Wen Sitian and the others were visiting Jingzhou for the first time, when they saw the lively scene before them, they immediately showed expressions of joy on their faces.
Suddenly, the little girl Lele was attracted by a candy-blowing stall not far away. She turned around, pulled Funniu's sleeve, and stretched out her little hand to point in that direction.
Funiu looked in the direction of her finger, her eyes suddenly lit up, then she turned around and said something to Xu Jianguo, then trotted towards the stall.
Xu Jianguo didn't care. After all, he had marked the coordinates of everyone in the family on the world map in his mind, so he was not worried that Wen Sitian and the children would get lost.
When Wenwen saw his aunt leading Lele running away, he turned around to look at his parents. After getting permission, the little guy took Erya's hand and chased after them.
Daya was as quiet as ever, but Xu Jianguo could see that she seemed to like it here very much. Although she didn't speak, her big eyes kept looking left and right, and she seemed overwhelmed.
The three of them slowly walked towards the children. When Xu Jianguo saw the old man blowing the sugar man on the stall, he couldn't help but frown.
It's not that there is anything wrong with this old man, but he just can't accept the skill of blowing candy directly with his mouth. He doesn't want his children to stick out their tongues to lick this candy. After all, it is full of air blown by the old man, and it may also contain his saliva.
After waiting for about half an hour, all kinds of delicious candy figures appeared in the hands of the four little guys.
Looking at the bright smiles on their faces, Xu Jianguo paid the money very readily and left with his family.
After walking away from the stall, Xu Jianguo said, "Listen carefully, the four of you! These candy figures can only be looked at, not eaten!"
The four people who had originally wanted to taste it were stunned. Lele looked at the big cock in his hand, then looked at Xu Jianguo and asked, "Dad, why?"
Then Xu Jianguo told the four little ones what he was thinking. When they heard that the sugar man might contain the old man's saliva, they immediately showed a look of disgust on their faces, which made Xu Jianguo, Wen Sitian and Daya laugh.
After laughing, Wen Sitian said, "Keep it. Even though you can't eat it, it's still nice to look at. After all, it was made by Grandpa with great effort."
"Okay!" The four little ones nodded in agreement.
Although they failed to eat the candy man, it did not affect their mood at all. With the lively and noisy environment around them, the four little ones soon became full of fighting spirit, turning their little heads around and began to look for new targets.
…
After strolling around Dazhalan for an hour, the family started to walk back.
In the middle, Xu Jianguo wanted to find a place to sell bicycles, but he went to several department stores and they were all out of stock.
There was no other choice, he could only choose to go to Wangfujing to take a look.
Although they didn't buy bicycles, the little ones all bought what they liked.
Lele chose a frog made of wood. By sliding a small wooden stick on the frog's back, it can make a sound similar to "quack quack quack".
Wenwen chose a nine-ring puzzle. The little guy has been playing with it since he left the store, but so far, he has only solved three of them.
Erya and Funiu each bought a crystal hairpin, and Daya picked out a hairband with a special style.
As for Wen Sitian and Xu Jianguo, they didn't buy anything. It's not that they didn't want to buy anything, but there was really nothing they liked.
When they were about to reach the parking place, Xu Jianguo and his companions were attracted by a strong aroma coming from the alley. Following the smell, they found that it was a small state-owned restaurant hidden deep in the alley, and the restaurant sold roasted lamb.
For a family of foodies, nothing is more attractive than barbecue, so under everyone's expectant eyes, Xu Jianguo decisively took out his money and bought a lamb chop and a lamb leg.
After the waiter collected the money, he cut the meat skillfully, wrapped it in layers of oil paper, tied it with a hemp rope and handed it to Xu Jianguo.
After leaving the restaurant, Xu Jianguo put the roasted mutton into the space, then took his family to the parking lot and drove back to the Security Bureau compound.
It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. Since they had to invite two old men, Su Dingshan and Wu Tianlong, to their home for dinner in the evening, Wen Sitian and the others rushed upstairs as soon as they returned home to take a nap.
Xu Jianguo sat down on the sofa and just lit a cigarette for himself when he saw Xiaohei and Erhei running in from outside. They squatted not far from him, staring at him with their four eyes.
It was not until then that Xu Jianguo remembered that he had forgotten to ask Fu Bo and Du Yu to feed them when he left. So he quickly got up, took out the two people's dining utensils from the space, and put cat food and dog food in it, and added two cans of food for each of them. Only then did he get the forgiveness of the two little guys.
Because he had already instructed Du Yu and Xu Xiaoshi, he didn't need to worry about dinner tonight. He just told them to wait a while and get rid of some cooking smoke in the kitchen.
After putting out the cigarette in his hand, Xu Jianguo stood up and walked into the study. He picked up a piece of paper that was pressed under the lamp base, looked at it, then grabbed the phone on the table and dialed it.
Soon, the call was connected, and Chen Jin's voice came from the receiver: "Hello, Red Wall West Hall!"
"Uncle Chen!"
"Jianguo, what's going on?"
"Look, I want to ask what time Grandpa Zhou will be working tonight. I want to wait until he's done so I can go over and give him acupuncture!"
"Didn't you say you'd come over the day after tomorrow?"
"I've just thought about it, but I'm still a little worried. After all, I've stopped using it for a week. It's better to try acupuncture as soon as possible!"
"You're really thoughtful, kid. The chief has a meeting tonight, and I expect it to be over before ten o'clock!"
"Okay, I'll be there at ten o'clock. Please say hello to the guards!"
"Okay, see you tonight!"
"Well, goodbye Uncle Chen!"
When chatting with Chen Jin before, Xu Jianguo learned about Mr. Zhou’s recent situation and was really worried, so he decided to go and see him after dinner with Su Dingshan and others in the evening, so that he could feel more at ease.
