It was inconvenient to drive on a snowy day, and visibility was low. The alleys were all pedestrian paths and cars couldn't get in. The driver finally parked at a temporary parking spot on the motorway outside, and they had to walk next.
Sansan is naturally very excited. She is full of energy and physical strength. Zhou Yi is not worried about her, but Zheng Pianqing...
When Zhou Yi got out of the car, he casually took Zheng Pianqing's hat and handed it to her with a concerned question: "Are you okay?"
Zheng Pianqing took the hat and put it on, then glanced in the direction of the alley, "It should be fine."
Zhou Yi: "If you feel tired, tell me anytime and we can find a shop to take a rest."
Zheng Pianqing nodded.
Sansan watched the conversation between the two of them, rubbed his hands, and was discerning enough not to disturb them - after knowing that Zhou Yi was his father last night, it seemed that the atmosphere was different when he saw him talking to Zheng Pianqing.
Although it is snowing, the flow of people in the alley has not decreased much, and there are many people like them who come specifically to see the snow scene.
This was Zheng Pianqing's first time to see such heavy snow with her own eyes. It crunched under her feet, and it was completely different from the artificial snow in the ski resort. Coupled with the surrounding buildings with local characteristics, it was easy for people to feel immersed in it. feel.
There are various local time-honored restaurants in Beicheng in the hutong, as well as some Internet celebrity Western restaurants, but this cultural collision will not give people an out-of-the-blue feeling.
There are many special snacks in Beicheng that Zheng Pianqing and Sansan are unfamiliar with. Sansan asked Zhou Yi almost all the way, and Zhou Yi took the trouble to explain them to her, and occasionally told her a few traditional stories.
A new environment will stimulate people's inspiration and creative desire, at least for Zheng Pianqing. In such an environment, many ideas and creativity about "snow" popped up in her mind - she It’s been a long time since I painted a landscape.
"Wow wow wow, it's a bakery!" When Sansan was passing by a bakery, her attention was attracted by the sweet bread in the window.
Seeing this, Zhou Yi subconsciously asked Zheng Pianqing what he thought: "Can I buy it for her?"
Zheng Pianqing nodded, "Let's go in and have a look."
The three of them wiped their feet on the mat at the door and then entered the store.
The bakery in Beicheng has much more product categories than Sansan has seen in New York, and it is more in line with the taste and aesthetics of a child like her - seeing those colorful breads, Sansan wants every one of them. .
So Zhou Yi proudly asked the clerk to pack all the bread. Among them, he ordered three of the ones Sansan liked better.
Zheng Pianqian took this opportunity to order a cup of hot cinnamon latte and sat in the store to rest for a while, but Sansan couldn't stay idle and kept chatting with the store clerk, asking her the name of each bread.
"Sister, what is this?"
"This is a small lunch bag with Erbajiang sauce sandwich."
"Two-Eight?" Sansan showed a confused expression.
The clerk was stunned for a moment, and just as she was thinking about how to explain it to her, Zhou Yi spoke up: "Twenty-eight refers to the ratio, 20% sesame butter and 80% peanut butter."
Sansan suddenly understood and nodded, "I understand."
Her tone and expression when she said this made the clerk and sister next to her smile. She subconsciously praised Zhou Yi: "Your kids are so cute."
Zheng Pianqing also heard this sentence.
She stopped drinking her latte for a moment, her heart lifted inexplicably, and she looked at Sansan to observe her expression.
Sansan didn't seem to take this sentence to heart and continued to study the bread in the window.
Zheng Pianqing relaxed a little, and then felt that she was too sensitive - the clerk didn't say "your daughter" just now, and Sansan couldn't have misunderstood.
Zheng Pianqian was a little worried about this when she brought Sansan to Beicheng - they looked like father and daughter when they walked together. If anyone said something inappropriate, Sansan would keep it in mind. It will be very troublesome.
The bread was packed in a huge shopping bag, and Sansan didn't want to eat it yet, so Zhou Yi called the driver and asked him to come to the store to pick it up, while the three of them continued their journey.
After playing until about 11:40, Zhou Yi took Zheng Pianqing and Sansan to a meat-shabu restaurant in the alley.
The store front is not very big, but after entering, you can directly access the backyard. The backyard is next to the Drum Tower, so you can eat while looking at the scenery outside.
The heating was sufficient, and it was a little hot even after taking off their clothes. Zheng Pianqing and Sansan's faces were both red.
Zhou Yi flipped through the menu and asked Zheng Pianqing: "What do you want to eat?"
Zheng Pianqing: "Please order some. I've never eaten it and I don't understand it."
Zhou Yi: "Would you like to try mutton?"
Zheng Pianqing: "Okay."
Zhou Yi is a very thoughtful person. No matter before or now, you don't have to worry about anything when going out to eat with him. He is very good at ordering and can take care of everyone's taste.
After the copper pot came up, Sansan began to observe around the pot - it was the first time she saw this kind of pot and she felt it was very fresh. She even picked up her mobile phone to take a photo.
While having lunch, Zhou Yi chatted with them about the afternoon's itinerary, "We'll go shopping in the alley later, and we'll go have a snowball fight."
Sansan: "Where are we going to fight? Can we ask my brothers to join us?"
Zhou Yi directly asked Zheng Pianqing the same question: "Is it okay?"
Zheng Pianqian didn't quite understand why Zhou Yi asked her, and was a little confused: "It's just convenient for them, I have no objection."
Zhou Yi: "Boys are a bit noisy, I'm afraid you won't be used to it."
Zheng Pianqian shook her head, "It doesn't matter."
She really doesn't like situations where there are many children, but after participating in some school activities with Sansan, her tolerance is much higher than before.
——
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Zheng Pianying and Sansan followed Zhou Yi into the car. The car drove intermittently for half an hour, and finally stopped at the front entrance of a single-family villa.
This looks like a residential area.
After Zheng Pianqing got out of the car, she glanced into the yard. Just as she was about to speak, Sansan had already asked her what she wanted to ask.
Sansan: "Uncle Zhou, where are you?"
Zhou Yi: "This is my home."
He said, "There is a place for snowball fights in the yard. I used to play here when I was a child. Come on, I will take you in to see it."
He said "you".
After saying this, he naturally looked at Zheng Pianqing.
After listening to Zhou Yi's introduction, Zheng Pianqian finally came to her senses and her expression turned unpleasant - if she had known that the place Zhou Yi mentioned was his home, she would never have followed him.
"Sansan!" A boy's voice interrupted Zheng Pianqing's thoughts.
She raised her head and saw two little boys running over. They were wearing the same clothes and looked exactly the same.
Behind the two children, there were two adults, who should be Zhou Yi's eldest brother and sister-in-law.
Zhou Ren and Ming Yue happened to stop in front of Zheng Pianqing. They greeted her and introduced themselves.
