"Tongxin, we can fly kites and take a boat ride in the park. You haven't been there yet." Li Zhiqiang looked at Li Tongxin, who was feeling a little depressed, and comforted her with heartache.

Li Zhiqiang knew that his daughter must want to go to Toys R Us, but they left too early and it was not yet business hours, so they had to go to another place.

Li Tongxin raised her head, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Dad, can you really fly a kite?" Li Tongxin was full of curiosity and anticipation for this outdoor activity that she had never tried before.

"Of course I can!" Li Zhiqiang replied with a smile. As a child, he often went out to play with his friends and could even make kites. Flying a kite was no problem for him.

Li Tongxin turned to look at Xu Yingying excitedly: "Cousin Yingying, what about you? Can you fly a kite?"

Xu Yingying shook her head awkwardly, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she said softly, "I...I don't know how." She had lived in the city since she was a child and had never been exposed to outdoor activities like flying kites.

After hearing this, Li Tongxin immediately grabbed her father's hand, her eyes sparkling with excitement: "Then let Dad teach us later!" She couldn't wait to learn how to fly a kite and enjoy the freedom and happiness.

Li Zhiqiang smiled and nodded in agreement. He felt immensely relieved seeing his daughter's excitement. Xu Yingying, also inspired by Li Tongxin's enthusiasm, began to look forward to the upcoming trip to the park.

Before long, they arrived at the park. It was a beautiful place, shaded by green trees, lush flowers, and a fresh, clean air. As soon as Li Tongxin got out of the car, she excitedly ran to the lawn, feeling the gentle breeze. However, when she came to her senses, she realized something important: "Dad, we don't have a kite!"

Li Zhiqiang smiled and said to the children, "Don't worry, we can go to the store in the park and look for the kite you want there!" As he said that, he took the two children towards the store.

"Dad, I want that beautiful butterfly kite!" Li Tongxin excitedly pointed at a purple butterfly-shaped kite. Her eyes sparkled with anticipation and joy as she pointed at the kite, as if it had become the most precious treasure in her heart.

"Okay, but we need to ask the price first," Li Zhiqiang patiently replied. He knew his daughter loved the butterfly kite, but he didn't want her to develop a habit of easily getting things. So, he gently patted his daughter's head and led her to the kite shop.

When they walked to the store, Li Zhiqiang greeted the boss with a smile and pointed to the purple butterfly kite and said, "Boss, how much is this butterfly kite?" His voice was gentle and friendly, hoping to establish a good communication atmosphere with the boss.

"Fifty dollars." The boss replied expressionlessly, seeming to be very determined about the price he offered.

When Li Zhiqiang heard the price, he couldn't help but frown, muttering to himself: This is too expensive! He began to wonder whether he should accept it. After some thought, he decided to try to bargain: "Thirty-five yuan!" He thought this price was relatively reasonable and within his acceptable range.

However, the boss shook his head without hesitation and said firmly: "No, no." His attitude was very firm and he seemed unwilling to lower the price.

Li Zhiqiang did not give up easily and continued to bargain with the boss: "Thirty-eight yuan!" He tried to get the boss to make some concessions, but the boss remained unmoved.

At this moment, a woman suddenly came over and pointed at the butterfly kite and asked, "Boss, how much is this?"

"Fifty dollars," the boss replied immediately, looking a little smug when he saw that other customers were interested.

"Here you go." The woman took out fifty yuan from her bag and handed it to the boss without hesitation.

"Okay!" The boss took the money decisively and took down the kite and handed it to the woman.

Seeing the woman take the kite and leave again, Li Tongxin felt very aggrieved. She looked at Li Zhiqiang and said, "Dad, what should we do now?"

Li Zhiqiang had never expected to meet someone who would pay without bargaining. He had originally planned to reward his daughter with a better item after she successfully bargained. But now, his plan was ruined. Seeing his daughter's aggrieved expression, Li Zhiqiang quickly comforted her, "It's okay, let's go somewhere else, maybe there's something more beautiful."

While she was still thinking about how to coax her daughter, Xu Yingying pointed to another kite and said, "Cousin Tongxin, I think that yellow kite will look very beautiful in the sky."

Li Tongxin looked in the direction of Xu Yingying's finger and saw a yellow eagle kite hanging on the wall, which looked very lifelike. Li Tongxin's eyes lit up and she said, "This eagle kite is really beautiful."

"Yes, it's much more beautiful than the butterfly kite just now." Xu Yingying agreed.

Li Zhiqiang was relieved to see his daughter liked it and asked the owner the price. The owner saw that they really wanted to buy it and said, "Sixty yuan, no bargaining."

Li Zhiqiang was a little conflicted. The kite was indeed a little expensive, but when he thought about how much his daughter liked it, he gritted his teeth and decided to buy it. Just as he took out his wallet to pay, Li Tongxin suddenly stopped him.

"Dad, let's bargain." Li Tongxin winked at her father playfully, then turned to look at the boss with a sweet smile on her face. She said in a soft voice, "Uncle, can you make it cheaper? How about fifty yuan?"

The boss was obviously hesitant when he heard this. After all, the price was already lower than the cost. But looking at the lovely girl in front of him, he still couldn't bear to refuse. Finally, he nodded and agreed.

Li Tongxin danced with joy and quickly took the kite from the boss with a bright smile on her face. She politely thanked the boss. Then, she quickly turned to look at Li Zhiqiang and cousin Yingying, her eyes sparkling with excitement and her lips curled up in an innocent smile.

"Dad, where should we go to fly the kite?" Li Tongxin asked anxiously, holding the kite string tightly with both hands, as if she couldn't wait to let the eagle fly.

Li Zhiqiang smiled and pointed to a meadow in the distance, and patiently explained: "We can go there and try, but we must find a spacious place without obstacles so that the eagle can fly freely." After that, the three of them walked towards the meadow with great interest.
