A car accident, our family of three crossed
Chapter 351 Shopping, guessing riddles and admiring lanterns
Hang Shuheng caused a lot of controversy because of his previous chess match with the Wan family. Now, he is regarded as a person with a halo in the circle of scholars.
And today, because he came here with Zhou Ting, those who wanted to make friends with Zhou Ting would naturally not look down on him.
However, Hang Shuheng was not very willing to deal with these people who approached him with various purposes. He did some superficial work, then found a gap and slipped away, leaving Zhou Ting alone to deal with those people.
There were also quite a few students from poor families present today, and none of them felt comfortable approaching Zhou Ting.
After all, their family backgrounds are so different, and their knowledge and perspectives are not at the same level. Even if they get closer, they can't talk to each other.
Seeing that Hang Shuheng was alone, he moved closer to Hang Shuheng. Comparing the two of them, as they both came from poor families, he felt much more comfortable staying with Hang Shuheng.
"Mr. Hang, nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you."
Hang Shuheng was also very gracious and had some conversations with those poor students, from which both sides benefited greatly.
The poetry reading lasted until mid-afternoon, but Hang Shuheng and Zhou Ting left early at noon.
After leaving Wanjuan Bookstore, they did not return to Zhou Mansion, but went directly to Zuixiangju.
In a private room on the second floor of Zui Xiang Ju facing the street, Yang Yang was sitting on a high chair, leaning on the windowsill boredly watching the pedestrians passing by on the street, when he suddenly saw two familiar figures walking towards him.
"Daddy, it's Daddy, and Uncle Zhou." The little guy was so excited that he stepped on the chair and leaned out of the window, with half of his body out. He waved at his daddy and shouted, "Daddy, Daddy, we are here."
When Hang Shuheng heard the sound and looked up, he saw the little guy with half of his body sticking out of the window. He was immediately frightened and was even ready to rush over to catch the child.
Fortunately, someone upstairs pulled him back in time, and Hang Shuheng was able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, in the private room upstairs, Song Ning was seriously criticizing a kid who didn't know his place. "Do you know how dangerous that was? If Aunt Qingshuang hadn't pulled you back in time, you would have fallen."
A kid who made a mistake knew he was in the wrong and dared not to argue back, but just admitted his mistake obediently.
"Do you dare to do this again in the future?"
"I dare not, mother, I was wrong."
Zhou Ru, who was standing by, rarely saw Song Ning criticize a child so seriously, so she quickly stepped forward to act as a peacemaker, "Okay, okay, Sister Song, the child knows he is wrong, so please stop talking about him."
Then she said to Yangyang, "Yangyang, what you did just now was really dangerous. It scared your mother and aunt. Remember not to do this again in the future, okay?"
A certain little ball nodded obediently, repeatedly assuring that he knew he was wrong and would not do it again in the future.
When Hang Shuheng and Zhou Ting arrived at the private room, they saw the little guy sitting obediently aside, dangling his two short legs. From his expression, it was clear that he had just been criticized.
Seeing this, Hang Shuheng decided not to criticize anymore. Instead, he pretended to be unaware and picked up the little guy to talk to him.
"Yangyang, do you miss daddy?"
"think."
"How much do you think?"
"Want it so so much."
The father and son talked back and forth, and soon diverted the little guy's attention, and he immediately became lively again.
The group had lunch at Zui Xiang Ju and made an appointment to go to the night market together in the evening to enjoy the lanterns before returning home.
When they returned to the house, Chen Laoer's family of three and several young men were all there. They were now a group of homeless people and had already regarded this place as a big family.
Seeing that everyone was there, Song Ning temporarily instructed Xu to prepare some ingredients in the afternoon so that everyone could get together for a simple meal tonight. At the same time, he also asked someone to go back to the village to call the Shuisheng brothers.
It was too lonely for the two brothers to spend such a family reunion day alone at home.
In the afternoon, Chen Laoer and his wife went out to buy things.
If they were just eating by themselves, it wouldn't matter, they could just buy something to get by, but today the master is here, so they have to buy good and fresh food.
The ingredients were bought quickly, and Song Ning was not idle either. She went into the kitchen to help prepare dinner.
Qingshuang always felt like she was completely useless at times like this and could only stand aside and watch, unable to help at all.
Song Ning and Xu each took charge of a pot and soon prepared a large table of dishes.
There were two tables in the yard, large and small, and everyone, regardless of status, gathered together to eat, creating a very good atmosphere.
After finishing the meal and cleaning up, it was already evening and night was quietly falling. After staying in the house until it was completely dark, Zhou Ting and his sister arrived.
After the group went out, they headed towards Wangjiang Tower, which is the tallest building in the county. Standing at the highest point, one can overlook the entire county.
Zhou Ting had booked a private room with the best view on the top floor of Wangjiang Building several days ago. He only had to open the window and the lights of thousands of homes would be right before his eyes.
"Wow! It's so beautiful!"
Yangyang looked out of the window and was attracted by the scene of the whole county town brightly lit. He didn't know how to describe it, so he could only clap his hands and say it was beautiful.
This time he was smart. He remembered the lesson he learned during the day and stood one step away from the window. He did not dare to stand right in front of the window, let alone move a chair to stand on.
Seeing that the little guy was enjoying what he saw, Zhou Ting simply bent down and picked up the tiny person in his arms, allowing the little guy to see farther and more fully.
At the window on the other side, Zhou Ru's situation was not much better than Yang Yang's. She pulled Song Ning and kept praising the beautiful scenery outside.
Suddenly, she turned around and said, "Sister Song, let's go down and take a look too!"
Before Song Ning agreed, Yang Yang shouted very politely, "Okay, okay! Mother, let's go down too!"
Just now on the way here, Yangyang looked out of the carriage at the hustle and bustle on the street and wanted to get off the carriage to go for a walk, but because there were too many people on the street, Hang Shuheng did not agree to let him get off.
Now that Zhou Ru had brought it up, she immediately got Yang Yang's approval. He looked at his father with longing on his face, his eyes full of pleading.
Hang Shuheng felt helpless when being stared at with such a small look, but he finally nodded and agreed.
Since his wife and child were going to walk on such a crowded street, he naturally had to accompany them. Even though Qingshuang was with them, he was still worried. Accidents were most likely to happen on such a crowded street.
Coming out of Wangjiang Tower, there is a wide river in front of you, running through the entire county.
There is a long row of stalls along the embankment, doing all kinds of business. In front of the stalls are bright lights, with all kinds of lanterns and couplets hanging.
In order to win the prize, many pedestrians stopped to guess the riddles at every stall they passed. Whether they knew the answer or not, they all guessed randomly.
"Daddy, Daddy, guess the riddle and win a gift." Yangyang looked at the dazzling array of small gifts hanging on the stalls and couldn't wait any longer, shouting for them.
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Ru also joined in the fun, dragging Zhou Ting towards the street stall, "Brother, I want it too."
Zhou Ting was a little speechless, but what could he do? My sister should be spoiled.
So, the brother and sister stood in front of a stall. When the stall owner saw that there were new customers, he immediately came up to them warmly and explained the rules to them.
Hang Shuheng had no choice but to be urged by Yang Yang, so he carried him to a stall nearby and started looking at the questions and guessing the riddles.
At the beginning, the stall owners along the street all welcomed customers with smiles, but as Hang Shuheng and Zhou Ting showed off their skills, the stall owners who had been smiling could no longer smile.
Even the stall owners nearby who came to join in the fun were nervous when they saw the two men. They didn't dare to speak out to attract them, for fear that they would stop in front of their stalls when passing by.
But as expected, what you fear will come true. The entire street was visited by them without exception.
Walking down the street, the stall owners along the street were in tears, and the biggest beneficiaries were naturally Yang Yang and Zhou Ru.
At this time, Yangyang was licking a string of candied haws he had won, and around his neck were hanging a number of exquisitely crafted small purses, sachets, pendants and so on.
Qingshuang, who followed behind, also brought a lot of things, such as lotus lanterns, koi lanterns, jade rabbit lanterns, as well as some clay figurines, sugar figurines, sugar paintings, etc. There was no shortage of food and toys.
Yangyang sat on his father's shoulder, chewing a candied haws, while looking back at the pile of trophies Qingshuang was carrying, his eyes narrowed with joy.
These were all won by his father. His father is so awesome.
"Daddy is so awesome! My daddy is the best!"
When he returns to the village tomorrow, he will definitely show off in front of his friends that his father is the best.
Zhou Ru also gained a lot. Most of the things she picked were things that girls would like, such as small lanterns, small kites, peach wood hairpins, jewelry boxes, etc.
These little gadgets themselves were not particularly valuable, and it was not that she couldn't afford them, but the meaning of buying them and winning them was different.
Whenever she took a fancy to an item, she would send her eldest brother to guess the riddle and win it back, which made the stall owners in the area miserable.
Zhou Ting was originally looking at his sister with a doting look on his face as she was holding the small lantern and looking very satisfied. Suddenly, he heard Yang Yang's praise and laughed and teased him, "Yang Yang, your father is great, isn't your uncle great too?"
Yang Yang turned his head to look at Zhou Ru's trophies, well, not as much as his. "Uncle Zhou is also very powerful, but my dad is the most powerful." He said with a little pride.
"Okay, okay, your dad is the best, okay?"
The group walked through the long street and met an acquaintance as soon as they reached the intersection.
"Stone, little stone."
When they heard the child calling, they also noticed a group of people coming from the opposite direction. They were Sun Xilai's family of three, and Sun Qinglai.
When Yangyang saw his friend, he struggled to get off Hang Shuheng's shoulders, then ran over and started to show off, "Shitou, look, these are all won by my dad from guessing riddles."
After showing off what he had on him, he pulled the small stone in front of Qingshuang and said, "And these, these, all of them were won by my father. Isn't my father awesome?"
"Wow! So many, Yangyang, your dad is so awesome!"
Little Stone looked at the dazzling array of small items with envy in his eyes. He also wanted to have one.
"Yes, yes, my dad is the best." Hearing his dad being praised, Yang Yang was very excited. He casually took a purse from his neck and gave it to Xiao Shitou, "This is for you."
Then, he took a rabbit-shaped sugar man from Qingshuang's hand and handed it to her, "This is for you to eat, it's delicious. I'll also give you this lantern, so you can take it to the riverside to release lanterns during the lantern festival."
Yangyang was so generous that he gave several things to Xiao Shitou, who was a little flustered to receive them.
"Thank you, Yangyang."
"You're welcome, you're welcome. I'm also going to give some to Brother Mudun and Brother Xiaobao."
After the adults greeted each other, they stood aside and watched the children's interaction without interfering.
Sun Qinglai couldn't help but sigh: "It's good to read more books. Unlike us, when we stand in front of the puzzle, we don't know the big characters, only the big characters know us."
Everyone laughed at his words. Hang Shuheng patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Everyone has his own strengths and weaknesses. Don't worry about these."
Seeing that the children were sharing their joy, they were not in a hurry to leave. They chatted for a while at the street corner, and soon they saw a boy and a girl walking over.
When they got closer, they turned out to be Wang Jin and Sun Baomei.
"Baomei and Constable Wang are here too." Song Ning said with a smile, looking between the two of them.
Sun Baomei felt a little embarrassed by her ambiguous look. She greeted everyone shyly and stopped talking.
"Mr. Hang, Mr. Zhou..." Wang Jin greeted them in a measured manner.
Seeing that he was still wearing his work clothes, Zhou Ting couldn't help but joked, "Constable Wang is abusing his power for personal gain!"
Wang Jin smiled and did not explain. He had already made an appointment with the Sun brothers and sisters when he went to Shangtang Village to give gifts on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
However, they did not expect that today the government office temporarily mobilized all the detectives and runners to patrol at night, which disrupted their plans.
Therefore, he waited for the Sun brothers and sisters at the agreed place early and explained the situation to them. At the same time, he also took some time out of his busy schedule to have a private conversation with his future wife and put a lantern on it for her at the ring-tossing stall, so that the trip was worthwhile.
"Wow! Auntie, your lantern is so beautiful! Did your uncle win it for you by helping you guess the riddle?" Little Shitou called his uncle as soon as he opened his mouth, and he did so fluently.
Sun Qinglai slapped him on the back of the head and said, "You little bastard! You haven't even received your money to change your statement yet, what are you shouting about!"
Everyone could tell it was a joke, so Wang Jin didn't care. He took out a piece of silver and handed it to Xiao Shitou.
"I have official business to attend to, so I can't stay long." He exchanged a few simple words with everyone and left quickly.
Before Xiao Shitou could recover from the joy of receiving the silver and even said thank you, his uncle-in-law had already blended into the crowd and disappeared.
