The whole family was prepared to wait for Chen Xi to finish his call before crossing the road.
On the other end of the phone, Qin Wanqing didn't rush him.
Chen Xi didn't have to think for long before he came to a decision and replied, "Not going."
It was a very simple word, and it didn't even explain the reason.
Qin Xueqing didn't seem to have any intention of persuading him, so when she heard Chen Xi's answer, she calmly replied, "Okay."
After that, her sister-in-law hung up the phone.
She was decisive and didn't hesitate. This was her usual style.
Today was Tuesday. Although Jinli wasn't as full as it was during the Spring Festival, it was still bustling with people.
Jinli was right next to the Wuhou Temple, but the Wuhou Temple charged entrance fees while Jinli didn't.
The little girl stood by the roadside and looked around. She had no interest in the Marquis Shrine, which was full of culture and culture. Thus, the whole family walked into the brocade with smiles on their faces as she called out to them.
In fact, Jinli wasn't a building from ancient times. It was a group of buildings built in the later period. The style leaned towards the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. It was mainly for business and was only 550 meters long.
After staying in Houhai for a long time, the little fellow seemed to have developed a certain immunity to this kind of old building. Thus, after walking around for a while, she pouted.
She wasn't interested in the teahouses or shops at all.
It wasn't until she saw a candy stand that the little fellow's big round eyes finally lit up.
Candy blowing and candy drawing originated from the same source. Nowadays, people were particular about hygiene. They would take a few bites of candy drawings, but candy figurines were basically just for fun. When they lost interest, they would throw them away.
Children didn't understand so much. After clamoring for Chen Xi to buy one for her, the little fellow happily took the candy figurine in her hands and licked it.
Because the candy blowing figurine was directly blown up by the master of the candy figurine, naturally saliva would come out when blowing. Thus, Aunt Zhang had the same thought as most people. She felt that it was very unhygienic and immediately stopped the little fellow's actions, warning her not to eat anymore.
The little guy was brought up by Auntie Zhang, so Auntie Zhang's words were naturally very effective. Hence, the little guy could only pout and look at the sugar figurine in his hand with an aggrieved expression.
Seeing this, Chen Xi did not expose Aunt Zhang. Instead, he went to the ice cream shop next door and bought an ice cream cone for the little girl. Then, he used the ice cream cone to exchange for the little girl's ice cream.
There were only a few places to play in Chengdu. Compared to Shang Jing, it was a little shabby.
After strolling around Jinli, they could still go to the narrow alleys to take a look.
The slight difference between Broad and Narrow Alley and Jinli Alley was that Broad and Narrow Alley was renovated from an old street. Therefore, Broad and Narrow Alley's cultural heritage was much stronger than that of Jinli Alley. Although it was also a commercial street, people could feel the unique cultural heritage of the old Chengdu City.
It would take them at most an hour to finish their stroll in Jinli, so Chen Xi suggested that they go to Broad and Narrow Alley again, but the little fellow decisively rejected his suggestion.
This kind of aimless wandering really didn't appeal to the child, so she clamored to go home and watch TV.
After all, Aunt Zhang was old. After strolling around Jinli, she was obviously a little tired. If they went to Broad and Narrow Alley again, the old woman would probably have to wait outside.
Therefore, Chen Xi had to agree to the little fellow's request to go home and watch TV.
Just as the family was about to go home, Qin Ruoying's phone suddenly rang.
The couple's social circle was extremely narrow, so the moment her phone rang, Chen Xi could not help but turn his head to look at Qin Ruoying.
"Hello? Second Aunt? "
"Yingying, what have you been doing recently?"
"Visiting Aunt Zhang in Chengdu."
"Oh, how is it? Is Chengdu fun?"
"It's okay."
Qin Ruoying looked at Chen Xi thoughtfully while talking on the phone.
Seeing this, Chen Xi could not help but shake his head.
The caller was Wang Chunju.
Seeing that her sister-in-law did not manage to persuade her cheap brother-in-law, Wang Chunju suddenly could not sit still.
Sure enough, after chatting with Qin Ruoying for a while, Wang Chunju asked tentatively, "You two don't have any plans recently, right? I want to ask Chen Xi for a favor. Do you think it's okay? "
Hearing this, Qin Ruoying smiled and said directly, "Second Aunt, I can't make this decision. You can ask him directly."
"Oh, oh, okay …"
Qin Ruoying's answer was obviously a little out of Wang Chunju's expectations, so she could only laugh twice awkwardly.
After all, she was not that familiar with Chen Xi, so she thought of asking Qin Ruoying to ask Chen Xi for help. She did not expect Qin Ruoying to directly kick the ball back to her.
From this, it could be seen that Wang Chunju still knew too little about this niece.
Falling flowers have no words, people are as indifferent as chrysanthemums. The beauty of a book is readable.
What was the most important thing for a husband and wife to get along?
It was mutual respect.
Qin Ruoying handed the phone to Chen Xi.
After Chen Xi took the phone, he couldn't help but reach out and hold Qin Ruoying's hand.
The couple looked at each other tacitly. Chen Xi smiled and said to the phone, "Hello? Second Aunt? "
"Hey, Chen Xi, it's like this, there's something I need your help with … Did Yuanqing call you just now?"
"Yes, she told me briefly just now. Are you referring to the matter of Karakorum?"
"Yes, yes, yes, did Yuanqing not tell you clearly? We don't have enough people here, so I want to ask you to help lead a team to see the specific situation there. Do you think it's okay? "
"Yes, of course! Didn't I promise you that I would make a guest appearance on your show? Send me the time and place, I promise to be there on time. "
Chen Xi's words were said very quickly. It seemed that he did not even need to think about it and directly agreed.
After hearing his words, Wang Chunju on the other end of the phone went silent.
She now understood that Chen Xi was waiting for her here.
After the Chunwa incident, why did Wu Lian have such a big reaction?
It was because Wang Chunju wanted to completely pull Chen Xi into the Wu Lian through the exchange of favors.
After all, favors were not easy to repay.
But she obviously underestimated Chen Xi's determination to distance himself from Wu Lian.
Chen Xi always remembered the promise he made to Wang Chunju.
He could help, but only once.
The reason why he decisively said no to his sister-in-law was because he knew that Wang Chunju would definitely not be able to resist calling him personally to ask for help.
Since that was the case, then he would use his previous promise here.
Life was life, work was work.
Although Chen Xi admired Wang Chunju's spirit of serving the country wholeheartedly, if he also became like this, it would obviously go against his original intention.
After all, compared to his career, Chen Xi loved his family more.
If he had that much time, he might as well accompany the little one to watch cartoons …
Wang Chunju was silent for a long time. After Chen Xi said hello, her slightly disappointed voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Haha, then I'll really trouble you this time. You know the latitude and longitude, right? I'll send the coordinates to your phone later … When can we leave? "
