Yin Yuwen pretended not to see her mother's anger and tugged at her backpack strap: "That's right, otherwise he won't help us anymore."

Aunt said helplessly, "I'll find out sooner or later."

Yin Yuwen turned her face away and stopped talking. Anyway, it was fine as long as she didn't know now. She would deal with the future later. In short, she would not betray her friends.

Yin Yuhuang and Yin Yushan pretended not to hear what their mother said; they would never betray their friends.

Qin Zizhou looked at his younger cousins ​​and said, "Alright, since you're already here, enjoy your time with your parents. Don't wander off. There are a lot of people in the scenic area; what if you get taken away by someone?"

Yin Yuwen immediately replied obediently, "We understand, cousin."

Qin Zizhou then said to his aunt, "Aunt, calm down. Take them back and give them a good talking to so they won't scare people like that again."

Aunt gently poked Yin Yuwen's forehead with her finger: "Nothing happened this time, so I'll let you off the hook for now. If something had happened, you'd see how I dealt with you. Come on, let's go see your father."

The three children were unusually well-behaved for a moment, waving goodbye to Shen Xuening and Qin Zizhou, and then following their mother with sly smiles.

Cao Qingyun shook Qin Zizhou's hand, raised her innocent face, and said softly, "Brother Zhou, can you take me to find Brother Wenxu?"

Shen Xuening's voice suddenly rang out: "No need to look anymore, he's here." As she spoke, she pointed in the direction of Baihua Mountain.

Cao Qingyun blinked her big eyes and asked curiously, "Brother Wenxu, how did you come from that place?"

As Shen Xuening watched Shen Wenxu approach, she replied, "He went to Yufeng Temple to see the peonies with his friends."

Cao Qingyun's soft voice carried a hint of longing: "I also want to go to Yufeng Temple to see the peonies."

Shen Xuening coaxed the child, "Tell Wenxu later, and he will take you there."

Cao Qingyun nodded her little head: "Mm."

Two minutes later, Shen Wenxu walked over, about to speak to Shen Xuening and Qin Zizhou, when he suddenly saw Cao Qingyun: "Huh? What are you doing here?"

Cao Qingyun immediately let go of Qin Zizhou's hand and rushed over to hug Shen Wenxu: "Brother Wenxu, did you miss me?"

"Yes." Shen Wenxu picked up Cao Qingyun, but Cao Qingyun was already seven or eight years old, and he couldn't carry him for long, so he quickly put him down, saying, "You've gotten heavier."

Cao Qingyun laughed happily, "Hehe, we haven't seen each other for half a year, I must have gained weight." He added, "You've become more handsome."

Shen Wenxu smiled broadly: "Your words are getting sweeter and sweeter."

Cao Qingyun replied sweetly, "Because I studied."

Shen Wenxu suddenly realized: "Oh~, right, you're in first grade now, right?"

Cao Qingyun waved her hand, her eyes slightly narrowed: "No, I go to kindergarten. I'll go to first grade next year. Everyone in kindergarten likes me very much. I especially like going to kindergarten."

Shen Wenxu pinched Cao Qingyun's little face: "What a good child."

Cao Qingyun looked at him with clear eyes: "Brother Wenxu, I want to see the peony flowers, is that alright?"

Shen Wenxu still liked Cao Qingyun quite a bit, and coaxed her gently, "Sure, whenever you want to go, I can take you anytime."

"Let's eat first, then we can go, okay?" Cao Qingyun asked like a little glutton. "I really miss the food here. I want to eat dumplings, I want to eat hot pot, I want to eat rice paddy fish, is that okay?"

Shen Wenxu rubbed Cao Qingyun's head: "Sure, sure, whatever you want to eat, I'll give it to you."

Cao Qingyun was overjoyed: "Brother Wenxu is the best."

Seeing the two chatting happily, Shen Xuening couldn't bear to interrupt: "How about the four of us have lunch together? We were just about to go eat anyway?"

Cao Qingyun clapped her hands: "Great! I want to go buy a serving of pea flour cake first, it's so delicious."

Qin Zizhou pulled Shen Xuening's hand: "Come on, let's go buy some pea flour cake. I've never had pea flour cake before, let's try it and see what it tastes like."

Shen Wenxu told his friends to go home first and they could meet up again in the afternoon. Then he took Cao Qingyun's hand and left with Shen Xuening and Qin Zizhou.

With the Dragon Boat Festival approaching, a variety of local delicacies have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, including qingtuan (green rice dumplings), zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), round fans, calamus, mugwort, Dragon Boat Festival mugwort bouquets, fan-shaped steamed buns and sweet fermented rice, mugwort rice cakes, the Five Yellow Feast (eel, yellow croaker, cucumber, salted egg yolk, and realgar wine), and mung bean cakes.

Almost all of them are handmade, made with authentic ingredients, and the aroma of all kinds of food is irresistible. They are truly authentic local delicacies.

As they walked, they kept looking around, their eyes drawn to the various goods.

After walking for a few minutes, they saw a stall selling pea flour cakes. There were many people standing in front of the stall, and the rich aroma of peas spread from the stall in all directions, attracting pea flour cake lovers.

"This is it!" Cao Qingyun excitedly pulled Shen Wenxu and ran towards the stall.

The pea flour cakes were freshly baked, golden yellow, and somewhat like steamed sponge cakes; they looked especially beautiful. The vendor cut a whole block of pea flour cake into diamond shapes, which made them even more appealing.

One serving costs five yuan, and each person is limited to one serving; otherwise, it will take a long time to buy one later.

If each person gets one serving, it can be sold to more than a dozen people. Cao Qingyun was very lucky; he bought the last serving, and no one else bought any. Each serving cost a lot of money, so everyone could have a taste.

After receiving the pea flour cake, Shen Wenxu asked Cao Qingyun, "What dish do you most want to eat?"

Cao Qingyun glanced around the dazzling street and finally chose a shop with a bright red sign: "I want to eat barbecue, can we go eat barbecue?"

Shen Wenxu went to Shen Xuening: "Big sister, can we go eat barbecue?"

“Of course, let’s go.” Shen Xuening took the lead and pulled Qin Zizhou toward the barbecue restaurant. They then ordered a private room, and the four of them ate there to avoid being disturbed.

This is an a la carte barbecue restaurant. Four people order at a time, then go to get condiment dishes. They can mix their own dipping sauces according to their preferences, which is quite convenient.

Shen Wenxu was surprised to see Cao Qingyun scooping up chili peppers: "Qingyun, you can eat chili peppers?"

Cao Qingyun, with her chubby little face, said cutely, "Sure, I like spicy food, it's delicious."

Shen Wenxu said, "Then scoop less, otherwise it will be very spicy."

Cao Qingyun nodded obediently: "Okay, I understand."

Shen Wenxu fetched himself a bowl of condiments, scooped out a lot of crunchy peas for himself (he liked them), and then returned to his seat: "Qingyun, may I have a piece of pea flour cake?"

"Sure, everyone can have some." Cao Qingyun placed the pea flour cake on the table and told everyone to help themselves.

Shen Wenxu coughed lightly and deliberately emphasized his words, saying, "The texture is delicate, sweet but not cloying, and it feels soft and glutinous in your hand, as light as a cloud. No wonder the business is so good."

"Brother Wenxu, you're really talented." Cao Qingyun gave Shen Wenxu a thumbs up, clearly showing his admiration.

Shen Wenxu smiled sheepishly: "It's nothing special, I'm just glad you don't mind."

Cao Qingyun quickly shook her head: "I don't mind, I like to hear more, you can talk more."

Shen Wenxu was too embarrassed to say more: "Eat quickly, then we'll have barbecue. The barbecue at this restaurant is delicious. My friends and I have eaten here before."

Cao Qingyun was particularly obedient: "Mm."

Shen Xuening and Qin Zizhou exchanged a glance. They had thought they would have to take care of the child, but the child was very independent and took good care of himself. They seemed a bit superfluous.

……

After having dinner with their parents, Yin Yuwen and her two siblings went out to play.

Before leaving, they made plans with Shen Yingying and Qin Yaoyao, but both of them had to prepare for the evening's party and therefore couldn't accompany them.

But if the mountain won't come to me, I'll go to the mountain. They went to a place of great natural beauty and prepared to help with the preparations.

Shen Yingying was very happy to see Yin Yuwen: "Sister Yuwen, why didn't you tell us you were coming?"

Yin Yuwen winked at Shen Yingying. She was a lively and cheerful girl, and this gesture made her look very charming: "I just wanted to give you a surprise."

Shen Yingying nodded: "It was indeed a pleasant surprise."

Yin Yuwen tugged at Shen Yingying's hand: "I also brought you a gift, I'll give it to you when I get back."

Shen Yingying looked pleasantly surprised: "Then I'll cook for you tonight."

Yin Yuwen quickly said, "No need, let's eat outside. I want to eat dumplings. Let's have dumplings tonight and then come over to help. It should be especially busy here tonight."

Shen Yingying thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll cook for you tomorrow. You gave me a gift, so I have to give you something in return."

Yin Yuwen agreed: "Okay, I haven't tried your cooking yet. I'll learn from you, and once I've mastered it, I'll make my parents look at me with new respect."

Shen Yingying said painfully, "Okay, I'll teach you."

Yin Yuwen said happily, "Yes, Yingying is the best."

Shen Yingying thought for a moment and said, "How about I take you to a farmhouse restaurant for dinner later? You've never been to a farmhouse restaurant before, have you?"

"Agritainment business?" Yin Yuwen suddenly remembered. "I saw my cousin-in-law promoting it in a video before. Is that the agritainment business you're talking about?"

“Yes.” Shen Yingying nodded. “The food at the farmhouse is delicious. If you want to go, I’ll call the owner to make a reservation right away.”

Yin Yuwen nodded vigorously: "Okay, let's go to a farmhouse restaurant for dinner."

Shen Yingying then took out her phone and called Ge Kun directly.

When Ge Kun learned that Shen Yingying had reserved the seats, he immediately agreed, but told them to arrive early, at five o'clock, otherwise there would be no seats available in the evening due to the large crowds.

Shen Yingying said she understood, and then told Yin Yuwen and her two siblings about the reserved seats. They said they would go over at 4:30, finish eating at 5:30, and then come to watch the show.

That's how it's settled.

……

Wuhua Tianbao Lane was transformed into a world of lanterns and flowers. It hadn't been this lively in a long time. I won't go into the organizers, but the host was Xia Rui, and the people in charge were Qin Dianwen and Huang Han.

Qin Dianwen had a performance tonight, so Huang Han arranged most of the work.
