Chapter 371: this is not as simple as you think.
Today is sunday, the business street is very lively and noisy, the shops on both sides of the street are very busy, and even the roadside stalls are surrounded by business.
The two children rarely went shopping. Every time they met a crowded place, they liked to move forward. The couple had to hold one tightly and pay special attention to safety.
An' an stopped at a vendor's stall and watched the other children use their slingshots to bounce balloons to get presents. He was also eager to try. "Mom, I want to play balloons."
"Sure, try it." Li Haitang looked back and saw her husband and daughter standing in front of another vendor not far away to buy food. "An' an, do you want to wait for your sister first? She should like to play too. We'll play together when she comes over?"
An' an looked back and nodded, "Okay."
"You watch the other kids play first, learn the skills well, and then try to hit the ball."
"Mom, this is a little similar to the darts dad taught us to play. It tests our eyesight." An' an studied with his father at home, so he was interested.
"Yes. But this balloon is not your ordinary balloon. It needs to be thicker. You have to find a point to break it later. It can't be broken just by hitting it." Li Haitang squatted down and gently taught him.
An' an thought for a moment, then watched the others play and hit many times without breaking it. After making sure that what his mother said was reasonable, he squatted down and watched everyone play seriously. His little head was thinking quickly.
Jiang chuheng brought his daughter over to buy some snacks. He saw the two of them squatting and looking at them. He asked, "Why don't you just watch and not play?"
"Waiting for you to come over." Li Haitang took the snacks he handed over and gave them to his son. He turned to his daughter and said, "Duoduo, do you want to play this game of bouncing balloons to get presents?"
Duoduo stood on tiptoe and looked inside. He saw many children of six or seven playing in line. They were all playing happily, but none of them broke. He didn't answer whether to play or not. He also despised them, "They are so stupid. They can't even break a balloon."
"This is not as simple as you think." An' an turned around and choked on her." Are you going to play or not?" If I don't, I'm going to play."
"Play."
At first, she thought it wasn't challenging, and Duoduo wasn't interested. Seeing her brother say it wasn't as simple as she thought, she wanted to try.
"Okay, go play, but you have to finish your food first." Li Haitang took some change out of her bag and asked jiang chuheng to look at them first. She went to buy tickets for them first.
An' an ate quickly and went to explore the road in high spirits. He took the slingshot his mother handed him and tried it around.
"An' an, this slingshot can be taken away later. You can take it home and play with it, but you have to be especially careful. You can't shoot stones at people, you know?" Li Haitang followed closely behind him and taught.
"I know." An' an thought that the slingshot would be returned to the boss later. He was happy that he had spent money to buy it and take it away.
Duoduo also quickly finished eating, holding another small slingshot and trying to follow her brother, her interest was obviously not so high, she planned to accompany her brother to the stage.
"Bang!"
An' an hit the balloon with his first shot, but it didn't break. After shaking twice, it returned to its original state.
Duoduo almost clapped. Seeing that the shot was not broken, he was a little disappointed and said to his brother, "Brother, come on."
An' an was not discouraged when he missed the first shot. He must have been mentally prepared before, so he went on to hit the second.
The second strike was still not broken.
On the third strike, he did not move immediately, frowning as if he was thinking carefully, staring at the balloon opposite him and standing motionless.
"Duoduo, you can start." Jiang Chuheng didn't rush his son either. He thought it was great that he could calm down and think at this time. In order not to waste time, he let his daughter follow closely.
Duoduo didn't perform as well as her brother. She didn't hit the balloon several times in a row, let alone burst it. After playing a few times, her confidence was taken aback and she frowned and lost her temper. "Dad, mom, I'm not playing anymore. I can't play this game."
"Okay, stop playing. Watch your brother play."
Li Haitang did not force her. Everyone was not perfect. There was always something she was not good at. She would not force her child to be first in everything and force her to be a perfect person.
"Mom, I'll play two more." After a moment of calm thought, An' an became interested again.
"Okay."
The next two strikes were even better than before, and one of them almost broke. An' an seemed to have found the trick and took it more seriously.
He played with his son in front of the stall for half an hour, broke two balloons, and got two small gifts before leaving.
"Duoduo, this bunny doll is for you. It'll look great on your bag." An' an was very happy to receive the prize and shared it with his sister.
"Thank you, brother."
Duoduo really liked this bunny. It wasn't pink either. It was a cute, azure bunny. She immediately took it and asked her mother to help her buckle it in her bag.
"Honey, it's not even eleven o' clock yet. It's still early for lunch. Why don't you find a shop to take the children to dessert or something?"
"Okay." Li Haitang glanced around and pointed to a shop across the street, "Go to that coffee shop. I went there with Liu Juan and the others last time. The cake in the shop tastes good, and there's juice that children can drink."
"Okay, let's go."
After entering the shop, Li Haitang and the two children sat down by the window. Jiang chuheng went to the service desk to pick up food.
As soon as she sat down, Li Haitang felt a little upset and got up again, "An' an, Duoduo, mom will go to the toilet. You sit here and wait for dad to come over. Don't leave this seat, okay?"
"Okay."
Li Haitang immediately turned around with his bag and hurried to the service desk not far away to talk to Jiang Chuheng before going to the public toilet in the coffee shop.
An' an and Duoduo did not run around either. They sat on the comfortable sofa and played with the toys and dolls they had just won. An' an was also very interested in explaining to his sister the experience of breaking balloons, making sense. Duoduo was listening carefully, but he probably didn't understand. His expression was a little confused.
The two of them chatted happily and did not see an acquaintance staring at them from the teahouse window across the street. Their eyes were complicated and profound.
Naturally, this acquaintance was Sun Bingqing. She had an appointment here today to discuss the printing cooperation of the tutoring books. Just after the discussion, the other party had just left. She planned to sit for a while longer, but didn't expect to see the four of them go to the coffee shop opposite. Instinctively, she moved a pot of green plants by the window slightly to block her figure, but she could see their every move through the window.
