Bai Aiping's reasoning was sound and could withstand scrutiny, but Ye Wanying was still not entirely convinced that this was the case. What if it was?
However, the chances of that "what if" happening are too high!
The two rode their bicycles and soon arrived at the market!
Because they wanted to buy different things, the two agreed on a time and then went their separate ways!
Ye Wanying took her son to the post office as soon as possible. After mailing the manuscript, she pushed the stroller with one hand and held her son's hand with the other, and strolled around the street.
There were many things at the market that Ye Wanying couldn't bring herself to buy, and many of them were unnecessary for her. In the end, she bought two pounds of meat, a fish, and a few kinds of vegetables.
However, these few items already filled the basket in front of the bicycle.
At this moment, Tuanzi was attracted by the aroma. She sniffed it and tugged at Ye Wanying's clothes several times.
"Mommy... there's something delicious... buy it!"
Ye Wanying looked around but didn't see anything delicious. She lowered her head and asked, "Where can I find something to eat?"
But Tuanzi couldn't wait any longer and tugged at Ye Wanying's clothes, "Mama... let... let!"
Um... my son wants me to go with him!
Ye Wanying pushed the cart and followed her son's steps toward the street behind. Along the way, she would occasionally see her son sniffing around with his nose!
Pfft~
Son, son, only dogs like to sniff around like you!
Finally, when I reached the street corner, I saw a group of friends gathered around a wall not far away. In the middle, an old man was squatting on the ground with a black, boiler-like thing in front of him and a fire burning underneath!
Isn't it just the most basic popcorn?
Ye Wanying had seen it before and knew that popcorn made this way tasted much better than the machine-made popcorn!
However, I never expected my son's nose to be so accurate; he could smell the odor even from two streets away!
"Mommy...buy...something delicious!"
"Okay, I'll buy it for you, but you have to promise Mom you won't get too close!" This most primitive way of making popcorn is still quite dangerous!
It will explode in the end, and it's very easy to kill people!
When Tuanzi heard that her mother would buy it for her, she naturally nodded repeatedly in agreement to Ye Wanying's request!
Seeing her son behaving well, Ye Wanying put her bike on the back and took two steps forward: "Uncle, how much is your popcorn?" she asked.
The old man was clearly choked by the smoke, coughing several times before looking up: "Rice is 50 cents a pound, rice is 1 dollar a pound!"
Ye Wanying had rice in her hand, and quite a lot of it, but she couldn't just pull out rice out of thin air in front of so many people, could she?
"No rice, but can you give me two jin (1 kg) of rice instead?"
"Alright, but girl, you'll have to wait a bit, there's someone else in line ahead of you!"
Ye Wanying nodded: "Okay!" Then she pulled her son along behind her!
Sure enough, a huge explosion occurred not long afterward.
The little girl was clearly frightened and burst into tears, crying, "Waaah... Mommy... There's a monster!"
Monster?
Ye Wanying was amused by her son's adorable clumsiness again. She reached out and picked up the little guy who was clinging to her trouser leg: "Silly boy, there's no monster. That's the sound of popping popcorn. Look over there if you don't believe me!"
Tuanzi peeked in the direction Ye Wanying was pointing and, sure enough, the popcorn machine popped a few times!
The sobbing gradually started, but by the time Tuanzi realized what was happening, she was clearly embarrassed, her face turning red!
