Chapter 96 Wind chimes should be hung where there is wind
Juanjuan lowered her head and played with the wind chimes in her hand. Every movement made the chimes make clear and pleasant sounds, which made people feel very comfortable.
"Well, wind chimes should be hung where there's wind."
The old man immediately turned around and went to find another wind chime, ready to hang it outside the store where the wind could blow.
Seeing that he was old, Jiang Ze quickly stepped forward to help: "Old man, let me help you hang up!"
"Thank you." The old man thanked Jiang Ze gratefully.
"Don't be so polite, it's just a simple thing." Jiang Ze tied the wind chime tightly.
"Ding-dong, ding-dong!" When the wind blows, the wind chimes make pleasant sounds.
When people passing by heard the sound, they stopped and looked over here.
A few foreigners saw a very special store here and walked in.
When they saw what was inside, their faces were full of surprise.
"Boss, how much is this, and this too?" the foreigner asked, pointing at the things on the shelf.
The old man was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward to introduce himself.
The foreigner thought it was very good and bought it without bargaining.
After seeing the foreigner off, he was still a little dazed. Their store had not had any business for a long time.
Locals rarely come here, let alone do business with foreigners. It is simply incredible.
Mrs. Si had no idea what he was thinking: "Boss, how much are these two things?"
Before he could say anything, some more guests came in, and none of them left empty-handed.
This made him feel like he was dreaming. He was excited and felt it was incredible.
He looked at the few people who hadn't paid yet and said, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
"It doesn't matter. Good business is a good thing." Mrs. Si said with a smile.
The old man smiled bitterly: "Madam, you are joking. We haven't had any guests here for a long time. You are really our lucky stars today. These wind chimes and little crabs are not worth much, so just give them to the two children!"
"That won't do. It's not easy for you to master this craft. You still have to accept what you deserve." Old Madam Si refused his gift.
In the end, the old couple couldn't persuade her and only charged her a very low price.
Madam Si paid the money and said, "You can try recruiting an apprentice."
"We wanted to recruit them before, but we don't even have any business here and we can't afford to support them." The old man was not afraid of being laughed at by them.
"Recruit people if business is good! It would be a shame if such a good craft were lost." Mrs. Si said with a smile.
"Okay, if business is good in the future, we will recruit apprentices."
The old man bent down and looked at Juanjuan after he finished speaking: "If you pass by in the future and find something you like, just tell me and I will give it to you."
"Thank you, Grandpa." Juanjuan smiled happily.
The old woman also bent down and looked at Si Jinchen: "You too!"
"Thank you, grandma." Si Jinchen also thanked with a smile.
When a few people left, a few more customers came into the store.
The originally inconspicuous bamboo weaving shop suddenly became bustling.
Old Madam Si turned her head to look at the store, then looked at Juanjuan who was holding her hand with one hand and playing with a wind chime in the other.
Bailing looked at the wind chime hanging at the door of the store. It was just as the lady said, the sound could only be heard where there was wind.
"Grandma, where are we going now?" Juanjuan tilted his little head to look at her.
They walked and strolled along the way, and it was almost time for lunch.
When I went out today, I told Aunt Wu that I didn't need to prepare dinner for them, so she planned to take a few people out to eat.
"Are you hungry?" Old Madam Si looked at her and asked.
"A little bit." Juanjuan said and compared with her two little fingers.
"Where is Achen?" Old Madam Si looked at Si Jinchen with a smile.
"A little bit too." Si Jinchen imitated Juanjuan's answer.
"You are almost becoming a sister's slave. Whatever Juanjuan says is what you do." Old Lady Si said with a smile.
"Because Juanjuan is very good!" Si Jinchen smiled and showed his small white teeth.
Bailing and Jiang Ze also laughed. The young lady in their family was really nice.
Mrs. Si and her family stopped by a pastry shop and ordered some snacks for the New Year.
For example, Beijing Eight Pieces, Yunpian Cake, etc., and also ordered some candies, peanuts and melon seeds.
It will be sent to the Governor's Mansion on New Year's Eve.
Wu Ma would make some bacon and other things when she was free, so there was no need to buy them specially.
By the time we ordered these things, the two children were hungry.
I found a Chinese restaurant and ordered three-diced dumplings, four-happiness meatballs, braised cabbage with vinegar, stir-fried pork and a soup.
Mrs. Si saw that the two children were really hungry and ate half a bowl more than usual.
On the way back, they didn't squeeze into the tram, but called two rickshaws to take them to the gate of the Governor's Mansion.
The driver was given two dollars for each person's fare, and was very grateful.
Siming saw a few people coming back: "Mom."
"Dad!" The two children ran over and hugged his legs.
"Did you go shopping and buy anything?" Si Ming looked at the two children with a smile.
"Look, I bought a wind chime. It will ring when the wind blows!" Juanjuan showed him the wind chime in her hand.
Siming took it and shook it gently: "It really sounds good. Juanjuan, hang it up wherever you want. Dad will help you hang it up."
"Balcony." Juanjuan thought carefully and answered.
"Okay, Dad will help you hang it up later." Si Ming said and looked at Si Jinchen: "What did Achen buy?"
"Little crab." Si Jinchen took out the little crab and showed it to him.
"It's woven really like the real thing." Si Ming took it and began to examine it.
"Dad, I want to put it on the shelf in the room." Si Jinchen said after thinking for a while.
"Okay, Dad will help you put it away later. But now you two should go wash your face and brush your teeth." Si Ming asked Jiang Ze and Bailing to take the two children to wash up.
He went upstairs and put the two children's crabs and wind chimes in the places they said.
After the wind chimes are hung up, you can hear the sound when the wind blows. It is not harsh but rather relaxing.
The two children played with him for a while before they felt too sleepy to go back to their room to sleep.
When Si Tian came back, he heard the sound of wind chimes upstairs, and looked curiously towards the second-floor balcony.
Outside the balcony of Juanjuan's room, a wind chime appeared at some point.
"You're back, why don't you come in?" Mrs. Si saw that he had been standing outside the door for a long time without moving.
"Mom, why is there a wind chime in Juanjuan's room?" Si Tian got out of his wheelchair as soon as he got home.
"I bought it when I went out today, and your eldest brother helped her hang it up." Mrs. Si said with a smile.
"Did you go shopping today?" Si Tian asked curiously.
Madam Si nodded: "In fact, an interesting thing happened today, and I would like to ask for your opinion."
"What's the matter?" Si Tian walked to the sofa and sat down, picked up the water from the coffee table and took a sip.
