Yang Xiaobei, "Next time we have to learn from this lesson and not let them exercise for too long at once."
"Okay, next time I teach them to lift their heads, I'll pay close attention."
Yang Xiaobei propped up his head with his hands and looked at Jiang Shushu, "Shushu, what are your plans for tomorrow?"
"I don't have any plans. I'll just help take care of the kids at home and make some delicious food to reward you." There's nothing great to see in Q City, so you should stay home and spend more time with the elderly and children.
"I have a day off tomorrow. We haven't had a day off together in a while. I specially switched with a colleague."
"Do you have any plans?" Xiaobei must have some plans since he changed his vacation on purpose.
"Yes, let's go out for a walk together, just the two of us. The weather is still warm now, but it will be inconvenient to go out when it gets cold next month. Since we had the baby, we only went out for a day, and it was so long ago that I almost forgot about it."
"Indeed, it seems like we haven't gone out together for a long time. Now that you mention it, I really miss it." Jiang Shushu looked at Yang Xiaobei with a smile, "Then let's go on a date tomorrow. No one will bring anyone. Where are you planning to go? I'd be happy to accompany you."
"I heard that a Friendship Store has opened in the next city with a lot of new things. I also asked my colleagues to exchange some tickets for me. How about we go to the next city for a walk, leaving in the morning and returning in the afternoon? It only takes an hour and a half by bus, so it's not too far." I have lived in Q City for so many years and have been to all the places I should go. Nothing is new to me anymore.
"Are you planning a spontaneous trip?" Are you so advanced in your thinking? I thought it was just about eating, shopping in department stores, and watching a movie? I didn't expect it to be a trip.
"Your description is so apt. Yes, let's go on a spontaneous trip to see other places and cultures and broaden our horizons. Tomorrow will definitely be a very interesting day."
"No problem, I like this suggestion too. I've never been to the next city. Do you know what it's like? If you do, tell me about it."
"I know a little bit. I asked my colleagues about it. The fish there is particularly authentic. We will go there to try it. Their department store is bigger than ours, so they must have more good things. We might as well go shopping..." Yang Xiaobei told them all the delicious and fun things he had heard about.
"I haven't been there yet, but now I'm looking forward to it."
"We'll treat it as a new experience. When the two children are older, we'll take our parents out for a walk when we have time."
"good."
…
The next morning, Jiang Shushu and his wife got up early. After they had breakfast and packed up their things, Jiang He and his wife got up.
Jiang He looked at Jiang Shushu and the other man, who were dressed neatly and in high spirits, and said, "Get ready to go out."
Jiang Shushu was embarrassed to tell Jiang He that they were going on a date: "Dad, Xiaobei and I are planning to go to the next city to buy some things." Going to the Friendship Store to buy things was not a lie.
"You've come so far to buy something? Don't we have it in the city? What are you buying?"
"Haha...it's a novelty. I have to go there to see it for myself."
Yang Xiaobei: "Shushu, the water is boiling. Go get two pots of water to drink on the way."
"good."
Yang Xiaobei smiled and said, "Dad, Shushu is embarrassed to tell you that, but Shushu and I plan to go out on a date today since we are both free, go out for a walk, and experience the customs and habits of other cities." As for a date, it's better to admit it openly. My parents will be so happy to see how good our relationship is, so there is no need to hide it.
"So it's a date! It's no big deal, go ahead, go ahead. Young people should go out more often so that their relationship will improve. Your mom and I are at home, don't worry, just have fun." Young people really know how to have fun. Q City is so big, but they actually go to other cities for dates. I'm getting old, I can't keep up with the pace of young people.
"We're definitely having a lot of fun. Dad, is there anything you and Mom want to buy? They have a wider variety of goods over there than we do here. I'll bring it back for you."
"No, no? We can buy whatever we need here. It's a rare occasion for you to go out and play, so you don't have to worry about us. Just take care of yourselves and have fun." It's rare for young people to go out, so I won't be so inconsiderate.
"Dad, Shushu and I will go explore the area first and gain some experience. When the kids are older, we can go play together as a family. It will definitely be fun."
Regardless of whether it's true or false, Jiang He was delighted to hear that Yang Xiaobei would take them on a trip, shopping, and sightseeing trip. "Okay, okay, okay, I'll definitely go when the kids are older." If I could still travel in my later years, I'd be envious.
…
Jiang Shushu and his friend rode their bicycles to the station, paid ten cents to park their bicycles, and then took the earliest bus to the next city.
At 8:20, Jiang Shushu and the other person got off the car.
The two of them went to Yishan Park first according to their plan. Yishan Park is the largest park in the city. I heard that the scenery is very beautiful and many people like to go there.
It took the two of them 20 minutes on the bus to reach Yishan Park.
Jiang Shushu, "The scenery is really beautiful. No wonder there are so many people. There is a tower on the mountain. Let's go up and take a look."
"good."
Jiang Shushu and the others arrived at the stairs and saw a group of people gathered together making a lot of noise, so they hurried over to watch the fun. They also learned from other people's conversation what was going on. It turned out that there were six young people around the age of sixteen or seventeen competing in mountain climbing. Each of them was very confident and thought they were the best.
Jiang Shushu suddenly felt playful and asked, "Xiaobei, who do you think will win among the six of them?" It's great to be young and thick-skinned. The real goal is to not be embarrassed yourself, but others.
"The one in blue has tight muscles. If nothing else, he definitely has great physical strength, and mountain climbing relies on physical strength."
"I think it's the one with the longer legs. He's pretty strong, so he should have good stamina. Besides, this mountain isn't very high, less than 100 meters, so it doesn't require much stamina."
"Since we have different opinions, how about making a bet and giving a gift to the loser?"
Jiang Shushu raised his eyebrows. "Let's bet. Who's afraid of who? Let's go up first and see who guesses right."
Jiang Shushu and Yang Xiaobei had only walked halfway when the six people below rushed up like the wind.
Jiang Shushu and the other person stopped to watch the six people compete. At the beginning, the one who took the lead was the one with the longest legs that Jiang Shushu chose.
"See? We're ahead."
“At the beginning, there’s no rush.”
When Jiang Shushu and the others arrived, the two people they chose were tied.
Jiang Shushu kept looking at the two to see who would win and who would lose.
"Shushu, don't look at it anymore. Those two can't win. There are people who are better than them. We both misjudged them."
Jiang Shushu then noticed the dark, thin third-place finisher. After a few seconds of watching, he understood what was going on. The first two were getting slower and slower, but the third-place finisher's speed remained constant. At this pace, the third-place finisher was a sure win.
