There is a mountain in her arms

"Wow! A long sedan! That's awesome! Brother Chi!"

When they went downstairs, there were two cars parked downstairs: a small sedan and a long seven-seater.

"Wang Quan, Wang Quan."

Yu Hansheng suddenly excitedly pulled Wang Quan's arm and pointed at the license plate.

“This looks like a military license plate!”

"Military license? Who is Chi Ge's family?"

"An An, is Brother Chi's family a soldier?"

"Yes! Their whole family is in the army."

Wang Quan pulled An An aside and asked in a low voice, but An An answered in confusion.

"Hiss! This must be of a high level, there's no doubt about it, brothers, I never thought we'd get lucky one day."

"What are you mumbling about there? Get in the car."

Jiang Yichen frowned and called them. An An was about to answer when Wang Quan covered her mouth.

"Sister Cheng, I'll be right here, right here. An An, don't say anything, don't ask."

Wang Quan responded first, then whispered instructions to An An, and did not let go until he nodded.

Chi Yuan drove the car with Wang Quan and the other three, while Jiang Yichen's family of four and Mr. Chi sat in the car.

Chi Yuan was leading the way in front. Wang Quan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, would peek at Chi Yuan from time to time. Zhang Ji and the other three in the back would also look at him through the rearview mirror from time to time.

"Tell me! Why are you looking at me so furtively?"

"Brother Chi, the car behind has a military license plate!"

"Well, that's my grandfather's car. He rarely uses it."

"Hiss! Brother Chi, we are blind, don't let us have such knowledge from our small place!"

"You think too much. As long as Cheng Cheng recognizes you, I won't touch you easily."

"Brother Chi, why do I feel like you like my sister Cheng? Is that right?"

"Did you see it?"

When Chi Yuan heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up.

"That's true. We saw it last year, but we didn't have the courage to say it. Brother Chi, don't worry. There's no one else around Cheng Cheng except us, so you still have a good chance."

"You don't have any thoughts about Cheng Cheng?"

Four people shook their heads in three dimensions.

"Sister Cheng is my benefactor. I just want to be her little brother and enjoy the good life."

"Jiang Yicheng is a flower that grows on a mountain top. You can only admire it from afar and never pick it."

"Yes, Jiang Yicheng is too powerful in front of us. If I were to find a girlfriend, I would hope to find a docile one."

"Same feeling!"

After hearing the four people's comments, Chi Yuan was not unhappy at all, but very happy. In this way, he had no rival in love.

Jiang Yicheng and his group also got along well with each other. Several elderly people talked about the changes in the past few years and kept expressing their feelings.

Qiu Liping did not ignore Jiang Yicheng and his brother. She would occasionally talk to Grandma Jiang and ask about their lives.

The place Chi Yuan took them to was a relatively remote water town in Beijing, and not many people knew about it yet.

It contains many unique cultures of Beijing and is a great place to relax.

Because the license plate number of the car they were riding in had a special one, as soon as they arrived in the town, Mr. Chi asked the driver to drive back.

Chi Yuan found a place to park and helped everyone check in. Wang Quan and his friends got out of the car and walked around with the elderly. Most of the people living here were elderly, and everyone had a happy face.

"Grandma, look over there! It seems so lively!"

Wang Quan pointed to the long pavilion across the small bridge. It was very rare and he could faintly hear the sound of clapping and cheering.

"Let's go over and take a look."

They walked around the small bridge and the flowing water, up the long flight of steps, and finally arrived at the pavilion, where a group of people were sitting.

It turned out that the pavilion was next to a public garden, where there happened to be a high platform where people were performing.

"This is Peking Opera, a Beijing tradition. Children may not be interested in it, but we can listen to it."

Mr. Chi is an old Beijinger. Now that he is old, he likes to listen to this the most, but he can only listen to it on the radio. Today, he was able to hear the live version and became interested.

Wang Quan and his friends had never seen such a thing before, so they watched it with great interest. Although they didn't understand it, the costumes were beautiful and they were fascinated by it.

When Chi Yuan came over, he saw that the old and young were listening intently. Although he thought it was funny, he still sat behind Jiang Yicheng.

"it is good!"

When the song ended, the actors came out to take their bows and everyone applauded. Mr. Chi cheered along, and was quite excited. Qiu Liping kept pulling him and telling him to relax.

The crowd slowly dispersed, and they realized that Chi Yuan was following them.

"Xiao Yuan, have you found a B&B?"

"Yes! I asked someone to say hello yesterday, and I went to confirm it today."

"Hey! It seems like it's almost time for dinner, shall we find a place to eat?"

"There is an authentic specialty restaurant here. We can go and try it."

"Okay! Then you lead the way."

"Mom, this is my first time here too, so I might need to ask around."

"Ah? I don't know. Then go ask."

Qiu Liping didn't feel embarrassed about her son at all. She waved her hand and let him go ask.

Chi Yuan pulled An An, which would make people let down their guard.

After a while, they came back and An An was eating a candy man in her hand.

"Let's go! It's just a little ahead. There aren't many people here right now."

"An An, where did you buy this candy figure? Is this a monkey? It's so lifelike!"

Wang Quan looked at the sugar man in An An's hand with great interest.

"Yeah! I saw the sugar figurine master draw many animal zodiac signs, and each one looked vivid and lifelike."

"Really? I'll buy one too. Do you want one?"

Wang Quan felt a little itchy and asked Zhang Ji and the others.

"Yeah! It's time to eat soon, why don't we buy it in the afternoon, otherwise we will miss out on the delicious food."

"Old Yu is right, we'll buy it when we go shopping in the afternoon."

"All right!"

When they walked over slowly, there were already quite a few people sitting in the store.

Because there were so many people, the boss took them to the only private room.

"Excuse me, everyone. This is the only environment in a small place. You don't look like locals?"

"Well, we're here for fun. Does the boss have any recommendations?"

Ikegaki answered while pouring water for the elder.

"No wonder I said you all look a little strange. Most of the people in our place are elderly and the children are out working."

"Boss, I think the air here is pretty good, and most of the elderly people on the street are in good spirits."

When Mr. Chi heard this, he became interested and asked as well.

"Of course, we are at the foot of the Great Wall. Moreover, the climate and soil here are good for human health, and most people here live long lives, so the kids can go out and work hard without any worries."

"The water and soil are good for health! We just listened to a Peking opera. Is there a troupe here?"

"Not really. There is an old retired troupe leader who lives here with us and sings a few lines in his spare time. Changting is a place where local elderly people like to chat. Once he got to know us, everyone started to learn from him and unexpectedly formed a troupe."

"That old boss is really good. If he were in a theater, he would definitely be a leader."

"That's not necessarily true. The old boss has a bit of a stubborn temper. He was always ostracized in the theater, so he came here to retire. The old boss said that there is no dispute here, and it's free. The folks are warm and simple, and they can let him perform freely. This is the best stage in his heart."

"What an interesting person, I really want to meet him if I have the chance."

"Haha! The old troupe owner likes to study opera. It's hard to see him at ordinary times. He only goes out to find inspiration when he's out of ideas."

"Boss, do you have any other recommendations?"

"I don't know, because I have lived here all my life and I think everything is normal. It was only in the past two years that people occasionally came here to play, so we started to open the door to do business, and we can make a living."

"I think your place is very unique! Why hasn't your mayor ever thought about developing your place?"

"The young people have all run away, and there are only old people here. Who would think of developing this place? Have you ordered the dishes? I'll take them to the kitchen to prepare them. It's busy right now."

"All right!"

Chi Yuan asked for Wang Quan's opinions and ordered several dishes. He also ordered a few soft and easy-to-digest dishes for the elderly.

"Okay, wait a moment, everyone. I'll go finish my work first and then talk to you."

"Okay! Okay! Go ahead and get busy first!"

The boss came out with the menu, a smile on his face.

The food here is served very quickly. Mr. Chi ate a dish as thin as a hair.

"Brother Jiang, try this dish. It tastes very good, and it seems to taste like tofu."

Just then the boss came up with a large plate of squirrel fish. His smile deepened when he heard this.

"Old people can try it more often. This is Wensi tofu, which is good for both the elderly and children."

"Wensi tofu? Huaiyang cuisine?"

Chi Yuan had never eaten it, but he had heard his mother Wu mention it, so he couldn't help but blurt it out.

"Little brother knows?"

The boss was no longer in a hurry to leave and asked him curiously.

"In fact, I also heard it from others. According to legend, this Wensi tofu is called "Wensi" because this dish was created by the monk Wensi of Yangzhou Tianning Temple during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

According to legend, Monk Wensi was good at cooking, especially making tofu dishes. One day, Emperor Qianlong passed through Yangzhou on his way to the south of the Yangtze River. He tasted the tofu soup made by Monk Wensi at Tianning Temple and was very impressed. Therefore, this dish was named "Wensi Tofu" to commemorate its creator.

"Little brother, you are so knowledgeable and talented at such a young age. The elders in your family are really good at teaching."

The boss's praise made Qiu Liping puff out her chest with pride, feeling very honored.

"Try this squirrel mandarin fish, which is also a Suzhou dish. It means a prosperous life and I wish everyone a smooth life."

"Thank you for your kind words, boss!"

"Enjoy your meal. I'll go serve the food first."

Wang Quan tasted a piece of squirrel fish and recommended it to An An.

"An An, this fish is sour and sweet, and tastes pretty good."

"Of course, this is a famous Suzhou dish."

Ikegaki also tasted a piece of food and said to them.

"Brother Chi, tell me, how do you know so much?"

Wang Quan was a little curious and asked while scooping soup.

"My family's Wu Ma's ancestor was a master of Cantonese cuisine. I occasionally heard her mention it, and later I read some books on the subject."

"Sister Cheng, did you know that dishes are divided into different cuisines?"

"I know a little. There are eight types of cuisine: Shandong, Sichuan, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Fujian, Zhejiang, Hunan, and Anhui."

Wang Quan was still waiting for Jiang Yichen to speak, but she just started drinking the soup.

"Gone?"

"No, that's all I know. I don't like to delve into these things."

"Chengcheng is so smart, why bother studying this? It's enough if someone else can do it. This soup is good, Auntie, you can try it too."

Qiu Liping came out to smooth things over and even specially recommended this soup.

"This is duck blood vermicelli soup, a famous dish of Su cuisine. The process is a bit complicated."

Chi Yuan helped An An scoop a bowl of explanation. Jiang Yichen looked at him deliberately, and Chi Yuan quickly caught it and smiled slightly.

Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang also gained some experience for the first time and ate in silence the whole time.

After they finished eating, they saw that the boss was still very busy, so they didn't go up to disturb him, but paid the bill and left.

"Grandpa, Grandpa Jiang, Grandma Jiang, do you want to go back to the B&B and rest for a while before going out for a walk?"

Chi Yuan asked for everyone's opinion. Qiu Liping knew that her father-in-law had the habit of taking a nap, so she also advised him.

"Dad, you guys should take a nap. We'll be here for three more days! There's plenty of time to go shopping."

"Yes, brother, let's all take a break so that the children won't worry."

"Okay then! If you kids don't want to rest, you can go out for a walk together, but you can't leave the team. Be careful."

"it is good!"

Wang Quan and his friends are at an active age. When they arrive at a new place, they want to explore everywhere and really don’t want to take a nap.

"Chencheng, do you want to take a nap?"

"It's better not to. You take Grandpa and the others back to rest. I'll watch them. Otherwise, they might make a scene."

Wang Quan was somewhat dissatisfied with Jiang Yichen's words, but when he saw the elderly people smiling, he just regarded it as entertainment.

The team split into two, and Jiang Yichen followed the group of monkeys to continue exploring.

"Look, there's a boat. Let's go take a ride!"

As they were passing the bridge, a black-sailed boat happened to pass under the bridge.

"Boatman, boatman, can we take the boat?"

The helmsman pointed to a dock ahead and they all rushed over, with Jiang Yichen following behind.

"Huh? There's a fee. One dollar per person for the whole town tour, and fifty cents per person for half the town tour."

"Boatman, what does this half journey mean?"

"It's the busiest street in this town. Our town is a U-shaped passage, and the waterway is also surrounded by a U-shaped passage on all sides."

"Sister Cheng, let's take the whole ride. We can see the sights first and then take our time to see them later. Come on board. I'll treat you."

Wang Quan paid the boat fare first and was the first to board. An An followed suit and Luo Yang hooked his neck and joked.

"Brother Quan is so generous!"

"Tsk! Don't you have any? You get a lot of scholarships from the school every year."

"But my mother confiscated all of mine. She said she was saving it for me. But before I left, she also gave me some money. I'll treat you next time."

"Brother, your mother has fooled you! Usually, when money is confiscated in the name of saving, it is usually impossible to get it back. If you don't believe me, ask Lao Yu."

"It seems so. My mother used to collect my New Year's money every year, but she always refused when I asked for it back, so I kept it for myself. It's still a way to save money, and I can withdraw it freely."

Luoyang looked at Zhang Ji, and Zhang Ji touched his nose.

"My situation is special. I have been living with my uncle since I was a child. The money my parents and uncle gave me is all kept by myself, so there is no such situation as yours."

As soon as Luoyang turned his gaze to Wang Quan, Wang Quan said proudly.

"I was smart. My grandma confiscated my pocket money once. Later, when I asked her for it back, she tried to cheat me, but I easily saw through her. My mom was more open-minded and let me manage my own pocket money. I was afraid that my grandma would take it, so I never kept much for myself. Later, my grandma stopped caring about it. Since I entered high school, my academic performance has been getting better and better. My mom has awarded me a lot. In addition to the rewards from the school and the lucky money every year, I have saved up a lot of private money."

Zhang Ji and Yu Hansheng nodded at the same time. Luoyang was dumbfounded. It turned out that he was the stupid one all along.

“Brother Luoyang, I have saved a lot of money, and my grandparents don’t care.”

God will kill me!
