Chapter 70: Temple Fair
Since Mr. Chen has been traveling to Yunnan Province for the past two years and is still taking care of the mines there, Chen Suling did not take Tang Jinyu back to her family on the second day of this year, and stayed home a few more days.
Tang Jinyu had a few days of free time, but Tang Honjun was temporarily called by his unit to work overtime and could not accompany his son. After Chen Suling told her son, she respected his wishes and let him go to play with Xia Ye.
Chen Suling pinched the tip of his nose and said with a smile: "You, as soon as your brother comes back, you won’t stay with your mother.”
Tang Jinyu hugged her and kissed her cheek hard, still smiling.
Chen Suling squeezed his face and said, "Go, you are allowed to eat out at noon. You have to come back early in the evening, okay?"
"Okay!"
Tang Jinyu put on a jacket, put on a hat and gloves and went to the backyard to look for Xia Ye. He didn't even have to leave through the door. Both courtyards were all connected.
Xia Ye had a visitor, Han Yichen came over to play with him today.
Han Yichen had a quarrel with his sister just a few days after he went home. The two brothers and sisters were now in the cold war, and they both agreed that however speaks first is a dog.
Han Yichen was afraid that he would not be able to hold back at home and speak first, so he hid with Xia Ye.
Xia Ye worked because it’s entertaining, so when he saw him coming over, he asked him if he wanted to work together.
Han Yichen was stunned: "…No, are you not young?"
Xia Ye thought for a while and said, "New Year and work don't conflict, it's all at home."
Han Yichen felt that there was a problem with what he said, and gave him a wave of interesting places near Amway- ‘Amway’ is a brand sold by a distant relative of his family. The quality of the goods was not bad, but the price was quite expensive. Moreover, the salesperson must make you say yes. If you're not interested, they won't leave your home. His mother bought three years' share of washing powder and vegetable and fruit detergent.
"Really, Xia Ye, go out with me to have a look. Tianjiu Street is bustling, and there are shops selling things. Oh, yes, the food street has been set up with tents, so they have a long line. I heard that this year's temple fair is here. Although there is a traffic jam in the old street, it's very busy. How about taking a taxi and taking a stroll around?" Xiao Han tried to stir up his boss.
Boss Xia didn't have much interest in this, and didn't lift his head. "Yeah, no."
Han Yichen wanted to say something again, but the doorbell rang. He opened the door and saw Tang Jinyu. He smiled and said, "Oh, Xiaoyu is here. Just now I was talking about you with your brother. Come, this is from Brother Han. Take your red envelope!"
Tang Jinyu received a big red envelope as soon as he walked in, and immediately praised: "Thank you, Brother Han, for a good New Year, and you're getting more and more handsome!"
Han Yichen was so moved that he was about to cry. He and his sister hadn't spoken for several days. Seeing Tang Jinyu, a good boy, he was almost empathetic.
Xia Ye was busy, and Tang Jinyu didn't bother him, so he sat on the side of his Legos. He hadn't finished the last model.
Han Yichen failed to persuade Xia Ye to move. He rolled his eyes and his eyes fell on the child. He went to give him a hand and said, "Xiaoyu, have you been to the temple fair?"
The child shook his head.
Han Yichen immediately showed off his eloquence and repeated what he said just now. The child applauded warmly and especially cheered.
Han Yichen's throat felt dry when he finished, and asked him, "Are you going?"
The child still shook his head: "No, I will stay with my brother at home."
Han Yichen was flabbergasted and looked at him and said, "What's the matter with you brothers? Is it all right to stay at home?"
Student Xiao Han failed to counterattack, so he could only stay and help with the child. He had nowhere else to go, so he sat there chatting with Tang Jinyu. Tang Jinyu has a good temper, and the two of them can talk easily.
"Ah, if only Han Yixing can be as good as you are, I wouldn’t have to fight with her."
"Why argue? Isn't that simple, because she is overbearing and unreasonable, you don't know, I asked her a little question at home, and she glared at me! I just want to ask her if she has been close to any of her classmates recently!”
Tang Jinyu was curious: "What did she say?"
Han Yichen prepared his act for a second, and he pinched his waist and raised his chin proudly, "I am the class monitor, all the classmates are close to me, and they all like me very much!"
Tang Jinyu was happy, he really looks like her.
"I told her to pick her favorite. It's possible that she has a good relationship with everyone. When she was in kindergarten, she cried a lot. Just saying this sentence made me anxious… Forget it, Xiaoyu, tell your brother, "Han Yichen looked up at Tang Jinyu, took a piece of candy and coaxed him, "You tell brother, which kid in your class has the best relationship with Xiaoxing?"
Tang Jinyu thought for a while, then hesitated: "Me?"
She calls him after school every day, goes home with him after school, and takes care of him in the class. By all accounts, Han Yixing should be the best with him, right?
Han Yichen touched his chin, "It's okay, it's called waterfront towers…Bah, bah, you're getting the moon first.”
(Note: “waterfront towers, the first to catch the moon”- A person in a favourable position gains special advantages)
Xia Ye took a ball of paper from the table and threw it accurately on Han Yichen's head, frowning and said: "He’s still young, don't talk nonsense here."
With someone guarding him, Han Yichen didn't dare to be too presumptuous. After asking for a long time, Tang Jinyu only said the names of those little kids. He had known each other from kindergarten and felt that there was no threat, so the interrogation came to an end for the time being.
Han Yichen couldn't stay idle at home, he pushed the child over, saying, "Xia Ye, your brother wants to go to the temple fair."
Tang Jinyu holding Legos: "???"
Xia Ye looked away from the computer screen, lowered his head and asked him, "Going to the temple fair?"
Tang Jinyu: "Brother go?"
Xia Ye hooked the little guy’s hair with his fingers, circled his fingers around, and listened with a smile: "Want to go?"
Tang Jinyu nodded without hesitation, "Then I will go too."
Xia Ye was in a good mood, got up and took his coat, ready to take him out.
Han Yichen stood at the door but refused to leave, and said cheeky: "Then Xiaoyu, help me make a call, can you ask if the Xiaoxing wants to come along too?”
Xia Ye glanced at him, patted the little guy, and asked him to call.
Han Yichen kept looking at Tang Jinyu's side, and he was relieved when he came over and nodded, with a smile on his face.
Xia Ye got his driver's license in school, said hello to his dad, and drove out.
Han Yichen looked at him eagerly, Xia Ye paused, and then said to Tang Jinyu: "Ask Xiaoxing if she wants us to pick her up."
The little guy obediently called.
Xia Ye knocked on the steering wheel and whispered, "it must be hard to talk to."
Han Yichen's mouth was stiff and refused to admit it, "Let's just chat in general."
Xia Ye said: "You control too much, and children have their own personal freedom."
Han Yichen snorted, not to be outdone: "You are talking lightly now, you can try it yourself later, you are more in charge than me!"
Xia Ye raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Impossible."
Han Yichen ignored him, waited for Tang Jinyu to finish the phone call, and hurriedly asked, "What did she say?"
Tang Jinyu said, "Uncle Han took her to the temple fair. Xingxing told you to go find her. She wants to buy that colorful marshmallow."
Han Yichen smiled and said, "Buy it for her! Xia Ye, let's go, let's go now!"
There were a lot of people at the temple fair, and the street was closed. Vehicles couldn't get in, so they stopped on the side of the road.
Xia Ye found a place to stop, and took Tang Jinyu's hand over. Han Yichen saw his sister from afar, and beckoned, but he did not call the girl's name, but his face was full of "Brother is here.” Come here."
Han Yixing had other small classmates beside her. After seeing him, she immediately ran over: "Brother!"
Han Yichen was finally able to speak as if he had been free of his ban.
The little girl had forgotten about the quarrel with her brother before, took him by the hand and led him over, and said excitedly: "Brother, hurry up, there is a cotton candy seller here, dad is going to take a place in line! That pink one is so big, Bigger than your face!"
Han Yichen: "…"
Those who followed were familiar faces. Tang Jinyu did see Ji Yuanjie. He also came with his parents, waiting in line for the marshmallow that was bigger than his face.
Xia Ye took Tang Jinyu's hand and bought one for him, but he lowered his head and said to the little guy that he could only take a sip and taste it, not more.
Among the people waiting in line was Guo Xiaohu. He was followed by two little boys, both with a cotton candy in their hands. After seeing Tang Jinyu, Guo Xiaohu immediately lit up and ran over after leaving behind his little friends.
Guo Xiaohu was very happy when he saw him, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Xiaoyu, would you like to play with us?"
Han Yixing stopped him and said, "Xiaoyu is with us!"
Guo Xiaohu said, "Don't talk, listen to Xiaoyu."
Tang Jinyu licked a sip of cotton candy, looked around him and asked, "Where is your family?"
"My parents have something to do, they ask the driver to bring me here. All of our classmates are over there." Guo Xiaohu pointed to the marshmallow stall over there and said, "Don't worry, my mom asked me to bring two drivers. Very safe!"
Tang Jinyu looked in the direction he was pointing. Sure enough, one of the two drivers was lining up to buy cotton candy, and the other was staring at Guo Xiaohu as he walked over here, doing his best.
Here, Guo Xiaohu used a rainbow-colored cotton candy to successfully break into the little girl’s camp. Seeing Han Yixing nodding and agreeing to play together, he happily reached out to grab Tang Jinyu’s hand. Tang Jinyu subconsciously grasped Xia Ye’s wrist, Xia Ye held him back and brought the little guy to his side before going to see the little student who came running, frowned and said, "What's the matter?"
Guo Xiaohu was a little afraid of Xia Ye, stammering to his little classmate: "Tang Jinyu, you, don't you want to play with us?"
Tang Jinyu shook his head, he didn't go.
Guo Xiaohu asked again: "There are loops over there, and there is also a food street. I brought the New Year's money. I will buy you lamb skewers, okay?
Tang Jinyu still shook his head, "I'm with my brother."
Guo Xiaohu was not willing to let go of his hand, and then asked, "Will you come for my birthday in a few days? Shall we go eat KFC together?"
Tang Jinyu thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay."
Guo Xiaohu was happy again and walked around twice and told him that he must come that day, and went away.
Xia Ye looked down at him. Before he could speak, he was hugged by the little guy. He raised his head and said, "Brother, my classmate is celebrating his birthday, I’ll sit there and bring a gift with me, I won’t eat KFC.” The little guy repeated the key point, "junk food, unhealthy, not delicious."
When Xia Ye tried to say something, he couldn't say anything, and squeezed his face, "If you want to eat, you can eat a little bit."
Tang Jinyu was very happy and shook his hand twice.
Xia Ye asked him again, "What gift have you prepared?"
"I bought a copy of "Primary Student Composition" with Xingxing and ordered it this year. I hope he will study hard!"
Xia Ye laughed, just as Han Yichen was also interrogating his sister over there, with an unhappy expression, "Why are you eating out with a little boy again! Birthday? Birthdays are not okay, you didn't tell me in advance, Han Yixing, I told you to let them call me first, and I nodded and promised you to go out…why else because I am your brother!"
The siblings were noisy, and everyone thought they were right.
After walking for a while, the little girl saw that there was a ring, and was happy to go to play, Han Yichen immediately followed and chased his sister closely.
There were so many people at the temple fair, Xia Ye simply picked up his brother and put him on his shoulders.
Xia Ye was tall, Tang Jinyu hugged his neck and looked around, his vision widened a lot, and he watched with gusto.
After walking for a while, Xia Ye was afraid that he would be cold again, so he held him in his arms and protected him. The little guy whispered a word in his ear, and Xia Ye flicked his forehead and said, "No, you are not allowed to eat."
"But there are small oranges over there." The little guy said, turning his eyes to the small stall selling candied haws over there, "Brother, it's the first time I saw orange candied haws."
Xia Ye can see that this is a "cruel" act of favoritism. Just now, he ate a bite of marshmallows, and have a KFC meal a few days later, and now he still eats junk food.
Xia Ye hugged him and said indifferently: "Then you can watch others eat here, it’s the same thing."
Tang Jinyu: "……???"
In the end Xiao Tang’s candied haws were not bought, Xia Ye bought him other small toys, and also bought two balloons, and tied to the little guy’s wrist, one with a yellow Pooh bear, and the other with a blue star. When walking It can be seen from afar, which was particularly eye-catching.
Xia Ye felt that if the little guy ran into the crowd, he would be able to follow the balloon to find it.
But he can't let go.
There were too many people at the temple fair. Xia Ye took him to play for a while and went back soon. The main reason was that there were many snack stalls in the back. The little guy didn't cry or make trouble but kept blinking his eyes to look at you, his heart can’t bear it.
Especially when he walked a few steps further, he could smell the scent of fresh popcorn. When there is popcorn, there is definitely ice cola. His younger brother could tolerate everything else. When he heard the sound of ice, his ears stood up. It was better to retreat early.
