Tonight, not only the prosperous Yanyang City is lively, but other places are also lively although not as prosperous.
Located in Xitong County, Guangnan Province, it is also very lively. Although it is not as prosperous as the capital, it is lively wherever there are many people.
At this time, there are also vendors selling their goods in the streets and alleys. Although the goods are not as high-quality as those in the capital, as long as they can be used, there is no distinction between high and low in the hearts of the people of Xitong County.
The streets were also brightly lit, but they were not as bright as those in the capital.
"Uncle Xu."
While eating, Chen Ziyuan, now ten years old, called out.
Listening to Zi Yuan's words, Sun Chunxu, who was eating beside him, put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at Chen Zi Yuan.
"Uncle Xu, the city is very lively today, I really want to go out and play." After saying this, Chen Ziyuan began to plead, and looked at Sun Chunxu with his big cute eyes: "Can you take me to the street to play, I'm fine I want to go.”
As soon as this statement came out, for the sake of Chen Ziyuan's safety, Sun Chunxu firmly denied it: "No! It's lively but threatening outside, so I won't go, ah."
Listening to Uncle Xu's words, ten-year-old Chen Ziyuan pouted, his face full of disappointment.
Zheng Zhui, who was eating like a pig at the side, suddenly put down his bowl and chopsticks and hurriedly chewed the food in his mouth. He looked at the lost face of ten-year-old Chen Ziyuan next to him, and then at Sun Chunxu's determined face, and helped. Chen Ziyuan came to plead for mercy: "Chunxu Ji, just agree. Since I came here, Ziyuan has not walked freely on the street once. Besides, you have not taught him so many martial arts, it is time for him to exercise Just for a moment."
Li Xiran did the same at this time, looking at Sun Chunxu with a pleading face.
Looking at the faces of the three people, Sun Chunxu began to think deeply.
Thinking of his father's strictness when he was young, and restricting him from leaving the house to wander around the streets, Sun Chunxu suddenly felt the bitter taste.
Seeing Chen Ziyuan's disappointed face, Sun Chunxu thought for a while and had no choice but to agree.
"Okay, I'll reluctantly allow you to go shopping today." Sun Chunxu said.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ziyuan's originally disappointed face suddenly bloomed like a flower, and he smiled sweetly.
"However, don't forget what Uncle Xu gave you. Although your martial arts are far better than before, you still have to be extremely careful. Don't cause trouble." Chun Xu explained.
"Okay, Uncle Xu, I will listen to you." After saying that, Chen Ziyuan looked at Li Xiran with a smile on his face.
Li Xiran was also really happy for him.
After receiving the agreement, Chen Ziyuan hurriedly stood up and walked out the door.
Perhaps it was because Chen Ziyuan had never been allowed to go out alone. Although Sun Chunxu agreed, he still felt a little reluctant in his heart. He watched Chen Ziyuan leave until he could no longer see his figure, but he insisted on watching for a while longer.
Looking at Sun Chunxu's look, Zheng Zhui thought he was envious of the scene outside and asked, "Brother Chunxu, do you want to go out for a walk later?"
Listening to Zheng Chui's words, Sun Chunxu turned around and smiled slightly: "Wait a moment, fill your stomach first before talking."
Zheng Zhui became happy when he heard that Sun Chunxu was going out for a walk soon.
To be honest, it was so lively outside that Zheng Zhui himself had long wanted to go out for a walk.
With Sun Chunxu's words, not only Zheng Zhui ate more deliciously, but also Li Xiran ate more deliciously.
After the meal, they cleared everything on the table, closed the door, and walked out happily, wandering around the small Xitong County town.
"Brother Chunxu, what did you like to do when you were a child?" Zheng Zhui became interested.
Anyway, it was nothing shameful. Sun Chunxu got up and walked along the stone street, crossing the small bridge and the alley, and walked to a place where there were more and more people.
Chen Ziyuan, who had already gone out, was now a small man, walking through the streets and alleys of Xitong County, sometimes buying a candied haws, and sometimes playing with hoops.
Not to mention, Chen Ziyuan was not only talented in reading, he was also good at making rings. The boss saw that Chen Ziyuan was very talented and hurriedly returned the money to him. He also gave him a few stuffed dolls and the items that Chen Ziyuan liked. Got him.
Fortunately, Chen Ziyuan only regarded this circle activity as fun. If he had to worry about it, the boss would probably have lost a lot of money today. Not only would he not do this activity anymore, he might not dare to mention it again for the rest of his life.
Being so free for the first time, Chen Ziyuan was both happy and worried.
Although he has never seen the prosperity of the capital, today's Xitong County is enough to make him have a lot of fun.
Holding a bunch of uneaten candied haws in her hand, she walked among the people coming and going.
As a small man, he always raises his head to look at tall people, always keeping alert.
After walking a few steps, Chen Ziyuan, who was only ten years old, saw a girl being bullied by several boys.
"Look, these are new shoes my dad bought me. You don't have them." The little boy showed off.
"Look, my mother just bought me some bunches of candied haws, and I ate quite a few of them." After saying that, another boy on the side handed one of the candied haws to the little girl and said, "Here."
Just when the little girl was about to reach out to pick up the candied haws, the boy deliberately dropped the candied haws on the ground.
"Ah! Why did it fall?" the little boy said deliberately.
Just when the little girl was thinking about picking it up, the little boy deliberately put his foot down and stepped on the candied haws. The candied haws couldn't withstand being stepped on, and it was crushed into a mess within a few steps.
Seeing this, the little girl's face showed a look of grievance, and she asked the two boys in front of her with a puzzled look: "Why are you doing this to me! I won't play with you anymore!"
Seeing the girl getting angry, the two boys started talking.
"If you don't want to play, you won't play. You can't even afford candied haws."
"Exactly. We don't play with children from poor families."
"let's go."
Seeing the little girl being bullied and looking at how pretty the girl was, Chen Ziyuan walked over.
When the girl who had never eaten candied haws on the ground was about to pick up the candied haws on the ground and eat it, Chen Ziyuan held her hand without shame and said: "It's dirty, don't eat it."
The girl looked up and saw a boy who was a head taller than herself holding a bunch of candied haws in his left hand and holding her outstretched hand in his right hand.
"Here, here you go." Chen Ziyuan generously handed over the candied haws.
Listening to the boy's sweet words, the little girl became a little shy: "You gave it to me, so what are you going to eat?"
"It's okay, I'll just buy it later."
Looking at the candied haws in front of her that she had never eaten before, the little girl felt a little excited. She wanted to take it but didn't dare to take it.
Seeing the hesitant look on the girl in front of him, Chen Ziyuan forcefully gave the candied haws in his hand to her.
Looking at the candied haws in her hand, it was the candied haws that many people wanted day and night. Then looking at the smile of the boy in front of her, somehow, the girl began to fall in love.
"Thanks."
After saying "You're welcome", Chen Ziyuan asked with interest: "Why are they bullying you?"
The girl shook her head and looked at Chen Ziyuan with two innocent eyes.
"Fine."
Seeing that the boy in front of her stopped asking questions for a while, the girl hurriedly ate the candied haws in her hand.
Seeing the girl devouring her food like this, Chen Ziyuan smiled slightly: "Eat slowly."
As soon as she spoke, the girl ate all the candied haws in her hand.
Suddenly I saw her looking a little anxious: "Oh no."
"What's wrong?" Chen Ziyuan asked confused.
"I planned to save a few for my parents, but I ate them all."
After hearing this, Chen Ziyuan looked at the girl in front of him with both distress and pity.
"It's okay. I'll buy you a bunch later and take it back." Zi Yuan smiled.
Upon hearing this, the girl's face became happy again.
"Brother, what does your family do?" the girl asked shyly.
Thinking about what Uncle Xu said before, Ziyuan said, "My father works as a policeman in the county government."
After listening, the girl nodded, as if she looked envious.
"What about you?" Ziyuan asked curiously.
"Both my parents are farmers."
Hearing what the girl said, Zi Yuan, who had read the sage's book, did not dislike it: "Well, it's so lively tonight, I'll take you to go shopping."
The girl nodded in agreement. Wherever Ziyuan went, the girl would go.
"What's your name?" Ziyuan asked.
"My name is He Qingxue, and what about you?"
"Your name is very nice. My name is Chen Ziyuan. I don't know why my father gave me such a name." Ziyuan hated the name a little.
He Qingxue, a young and ignorant girl who has never been to school, smiled and said, "It's good for you to get your name."
"What's better?"
He Qingxue didn't know how to answer Zi Yuan's question. After all, he had never gone to school and didn't know a few words. After a moment, he said: "In short, it's very, very good." After saying this, the girl It seemed that he was not as shy as before, so he asked: "Brother, how old are you?"
"Ten years old, and you."
"I am eight years old. In two months, I will be nine."
At this time, Chen Ziyuan stopped in front of a stall and saw that there were no decorations on the girl's head. There was only a wooden hairpin made of wood. The hairpin looked rough and colorless. It must have been made by herself. Suddenly he became generous.
"Come and take a look."
As soon as Ziyuan shouted, eight-year-old He Qingxue came over and saw a stall full of various jewelry. I don’t know how many times I have seen this kind of jewelry, but every time I see so many varieties, and due to my family background, I can’t afford it.
After reading, the girl was about to leave when Zi Yuan took her arm: "Don't leave, just take a look. Whatever you like, I'll give it to you."
As soon as this statement came out, which girl in the world didn't like these jewelry items? Even the girl He Qingxue liked them: "Really?"
Seeing He Qingxue's very pleasing appearance, Zi Yuan responded happily: "Really, why are you lying to me?"
At this time, He Qingxue suddenly became disappointed: "I can't take it. I'm not familiar with eldest brother. Besides, these must be very expensive."
"Isn't it familiar now? It's not expensive. You pick which one you like, and treat it as a meeting gift for us to be friends." After saying this, looking at the girl's hesitant look, Ziyuan picked it up for her.
