Chapter 234: 234. Little Yellow Duck and Macaroon_1
There’s truth in that.
Dr. Xiaozhang’s primary job didn’t seem to be a doctor, but more like a Bodhisattva’s child of fortune.
He had just reluctantly spent twelve thousand yuan on a jin of tea leaves and two bottles of honey, which seed to have set a good example for Song Tan; people who had finally finished scrambling for vegetables turned their attention to honey and tea.
To be honest, honey and tea had been advertised in the group chat more than once or twice, but with affordable greens available to everyone, those pricier items could always wait, right?
Qiaoqiao had just organized all the baskets in the rear cargo area and was now excitedly seated in the passenger side, fastened with the seatbelt, and looking eagerly at Song Tan with sparkling eyes.
The ssage was clear without words.
Song Tan: …
How to tell this cute little thing in front of her that there were several jins of tea leaves and twenty bottles of honey hastily harvested in the back seat!
Just then, her phone rang.
Song Tan looked down: Well, what do we have here!
Right on ti, Secretary Wang calls for five jins of tea leaves and ten bottles of honey!
Song Tan glanced at the back seat—there went all the tea leaves in a swoop.
And now there weren’t but two bottles of honey left.
She nearly laughed out loud with joy, but looking at Qiaoqiao’s expression, her joy twisted into a dilemma:
“So here’s the thing, hon, our amusent park tickets are pretty expensive, and so is the fuel for the trip. That’s why I’ve decided to sell so more stuff to scrape together so money… How about this—there’s a custor who wants tea and honey, I’ll go deliver them first, then take you and Brother Yanping to the amusent park, how does that sound?”
“Not so good.”
Zhang Yanping was standing outside the car window: “I’ve been to Ning City’s amusent park several tis already.”
Who doesn’t have a girlfriend in college!
“I don’t want to go again—how about this, I’ll do the delivery for you, you stay with Qiaoqiao.”
“Besides, I know the Ning City subway better than you, just na the place and I can get there on my own, no need for you to drop
off… and avoid the traffic.”
Song Tan: …
She wasn’t interested in the amusent park either.
Besides, had she forgotten about the Ning City subway system?
But at this mont, Qiaoqiao was already looking at her with longing eyes—after all, compared to Brother Yanping, a sister is better, isn’t she?
And Brother Yanping was so poor, she couldn’t spend his money.
In that case, what else could Song Tan say?
“Alright, I’ve sent the address to your phone.”
…
anwhile, Secretary Wang at the courtyard was looking at the almost empty tea caddy, breaking out in a cold sweat.
Actually, they weren’t really short on tea leaves, it depended on the quality.
The tea leaves he drank, for instance, he had bought extra to give only to close associates… It wasn’t that Secretary Wang was biased, it was just that the tea had garnered so much praise this year.
Even a secretary like him felt so, let alone the leaders.
Being a tea enthusiast already, and now with two or three brews a day, how long could a jin of tea leaves last?
A cup of honey water upon waking or after drinking—not to ntion the secret, unspeakable ailnts of middle-aged, sedentary n found relief; the feeling of having smooth bowel movents every day was simply too wonderful!
Don’t think middle-aged n don’t have their own circles. When they start chatting and promoting goods, they could outdo the typical live strears!
And here, all of the honey ordered today was for the leaders to give as gifts.
Secretary Wang waited with bated breath.
…
anwhile, Song Tan, navigating through the congested traffic, had finally managed to arrive at the amusent park entrance just before noon.
“Hungry?” she asked Qiaoqiao.
Qiaoqiao, who had been gawking at the grand entrance of the amusent park, snapped back to reality, now pulling another plastic bag from the back seat.
“Seventh Uncle gave us scallion oil buns and crispy fried pork skin!”
Though the flavor wasn’t as good because they had cooled down, they were still quite outstanding compared to the overpriced and diocre food at the park’s entrance.
Now that Qiaoqiao had seen the amusent park, she was completely satisfied, eating quickly without much care for taste, not at all tempted by the external food stalls.
Seventh Uncle’s culinary skills really were great!
The scallion oil buns were uniformly fluffy, the slightly salty scallion oil infused into the crust, bringing with it a deliciously chewy fragrance.
The siblings each had their share, accompanied by a bottle of mineral water, eating to their heart’s content.
Unbeknownst to them, a young girl nearby couldn’t help but hug her boyfriend’s arm tighter when she saw them.
“Wow, Leilei! I just saw a couple and they’re so pitiful, they ca in a very old pickup, like the kind used for selling vegetables and moving goods.”
“I an, they’re right at the entrance to the amusent park, yet they’re reluctant to buy any of these als. Both of them are just making do with mineral water and buns… It’s so sad.”
The boy nad Leilei frowned and didn’t agree, “If you’re out to have fun, there’s no need to worry about that one or two hundred bucks for a al! Bringing your own food is just not as enjoyable.”
“Right!” His girlfriend nodded vigorously, “It’s completely soulless.”
…
Song Tan was oblivious to this, all she knew was that they were fed and full, and Qiaoqiao could no longer contain his excitent. They hurriedly headed into the amusent park.
Everything was novel to Qiaoqiao, even the balloons being sold at the park entrance got him itching.
He clutched the two hundred yuan that Wu Lan had stuffed into his pocket before leaving, his yearning gaze almost unbearable to resist.
Song Tan initially wanted to say that carrying balloons could really interfere with the experience, with so many attractions yet to enjoy.
But then again, they were already here.
A romantic and gentle macaron rainbow-colored balloon was tied to Qiaoqiao’s wrist, and he jumped around like the other children in the park. Whenever he cheered loudly, it often drew strange looks from those around him.
After all, it’s charming when little kids do it, but Qiaoqiao was already a young man over one ter eighty.
Qiaoqiao was used to this.
He had been taught well, so at this mont, he didn’t feel the slightest bit discouraged, but rather looked forward to the vast park ahead with eagerness:
“Sister, what shall we play first?”
Ah, this: …
Song Tan wasn’t quite sure herself; she couldn’t even rember if she had ever been to an amusent park, but it didn’t matter—
“We just got here, so let’s start with sothing thrilling? We can play the more relaxing ones after we’re tired, okay?”
“Sothing thrilling…” Qiaoqiao hesitated, his gaze soon fixed on the rubber duck boats in the drifting pool nearby.
This drifting pool went around the entire amusent park. It seed calm on the surface, but midway there was a conch-like whirlpool. As you hurtled down from the top, people on the shore would shoot water cannons…
Just as the group ahead of them reached the finish, Song Tan looked around and knew what to expect.
She bought raincoats and looked at Qiaoqiao: “If we go on the raft, balloons aren’t allowed. What do you want to do now?”
Qiaoqiao: …
The gentle macaron rainbow-colored, plump balloon floated gently on his wrist, while at the sa ti, the little yellow duck raft was staring him down…
