Because it was very close, Chen Xi carried the little girl to the Temple of the Marquis.
But after looking at the entrance for a long time, she was not interested at all, so Chen Xi could only bring her to the brocade next door.
In fact, there was nothing in the brocade that could attract a child's attention, so before the little girl was even halfway through, she was already clamoring to go to the amusement park.
Regarding this, Chen Xi did not have any objections, so he took her to a taxi and went straight to Happy Valley.
Once they entered Happy Valley, when the little girl saw the huge toy castle at the entrance, she immediately became excited.
Because she was not even 1.2 meters tall, she did not even need to buy a ticket.
But the price was, she could not play most of the rides …..
Chen Xi only found out after coming here that most of the rides in Happy Valley required children to be at least 1.2 meters tall to play.
The roller coaster looked exciting and fun, but it was not a ride that children could play.
With no other choice, Chen Xi could only hold her and stand by the side, watching the others play.
It was not that there were no children's rides, such as the merry-go-round, small train, sightseeing wheel, crazy bus, and so on were very popular with children.
It was just that the little girl wanted to ride the roller coaster, so Chen Xi had no choice but to coax and trick her to play all the children's rides. Finally, the little girl put down her pouting little mouth.
Chen Xi originally thought that the little girl would not like Happy Valley, but when they came to a place called the Magic Castle, the little girl immediately exploded with curiosity.
There were countless dynamic and strange magic rides gathered here, every arrangement was deliberately to cater to the child's whims.
The magic theater stood in the middle, shining with a dreamy light.
In the theater, cartoon dolls appeared one after another, opening the curtains of the Magic Ball, magicians skillfully cast magic, happy wooden horses galloped and chased each other; on the bubble ball battlefield, colorful balls jumped around; there was also a big Mexican straw hat, wildly dancing with magic, releasing brilliant lights …..
When had the little girl ever seen such a dreamy magic world? So she was immediately addicted.
When she really started playing, time passed very quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was five o 'clock in the afternoon. Chen Xi calculated the time and estimated that it would take at least an hour to go back during the rush hour, so he carried the little fellow and prepared to leave.
However, she was unwilling no matter what he said. Chen Xi persuaded her in every way possible and bought her a big panda plushie. Only then did the little girl reluctantly say goodbye to the Magic Castle with the plushie in her arms.
"PaPa, when can I come to the amusement park again? This place is much more fun than the zoo! "
"When you're a little taller, um … when you're a year older, Daddy will bring you here. By then, you can also play those games."
"Really?!"
"Of course, why would I lie to you?"
"Then I want to ride the roller coaster!"
"The roller coaster won't work …"
"Why?"
"You have to grow even taller to ride a roller coaster …"
"PaPa is lying!"
…
When the father and daughter returned to Wuhou Temple Street, it was almost six o 'clock in the evening. During this time, Aunt Zhang also called twice to urge them.
Naturally, they had to eat hot pot in Chengdu. After all these years of training by Aunt Zhang, the little girl could eat a little spicy, so Aunt Zhang ordered a slightly spicy mandarin duck pot.
It seemed that every hot pot restaurant's business was very good. From afar, they could see more than ten plastic stools at the door. Twenty to thirty customers were sitting there waiting in line for their number to be called.
The smell of the hot pot was very strong. Before the little girl entered the door, she had already begun to sniff her little nose and kept looking around. She seemed to be very interested in this thing.
She had never eaten hot pot before!
When Chen Xi carried her into the hot pot restaurant, Aunt Zhang's family had already ordered the dishes and were waiting for them in their seats.
However, Chen Xi did not immediately go over.
Because he felt that the atmosphere at Aunt Zhang's table was a little strange.
Cai Shuqin held her phone with both hands and typed quickly. She seemed to be chatting on WeChat.
Xie Pinglin lowered his head slightly and kept whispering something in Cai Shuqin's ear.
Aunt Zhang looked at the hot pot in front of her silently. There was a baby carriage next to it. The baby was lying in the carriage obediently and chewing her fingers.
Looking at his posture, it was obvious that something unpleasant must have happened before he came ….
Chen Xi deliberately stood at the door for a minute. After a deep sigh, he carried Niannian and walked in.
"You're back? Come, come, come. The pot is boiling. You can eat at any time. "
The moment Aunt Zhang saw Chen Xi, she immediately put on a smile and quickly got up to ask him to sit down.
Chen Xi nodded at Aunt Zhang, then turned to Xie Pinglin and said, "Sorry for making you wait …"
Hearing that, Xie Pinglin forced a smile and responded, "It's okay, it's okay. Sit down. I don't know if you like these dishes? I'll show you the menu, okay? "
After saying that, Xie Pinglin turned sideways and was about to ask the waiter to bring the menu over.
However, at that moment, Cai Shuqin secretly kicked him under the table.
Xie Pinglin was not a shrewd person, so it immediately showed on his face.
Therefore, he could only turn sideways a little awkwardly. He wanted to say something, but it was as if someone had suddenly grabbed his throat.
Aunt Zhang did not seem to notice this.
At that moment, Chen Xi stood up and gently pressed Xie Pinglin's hand down. He then said with a smile, "You don't have to be so polite. The child and I are not used to Sichuan cuisine, let alone hot pot. We'll just taste it."
"Oh, okay." Xie Pinglin nodded a little embarrassedly.
Chen Xi smiled at him politely, but Xie Pinglin immediately looked away. It seemed like he did not dare to look at Chen Xi.
Seeing this, Chen Xi could only let out a long sigh in her heart.
Dinner started in such a strange atmosphere.
During that time, Cai Shuqin did not say a word. Her face was so dark that it could drip water.
Aunt Zhang also seemed to have something on her mind. When she chatted with Chen Xi, she always smiled very reluctantly.
Chen Xi saw all of this with her own eyes.
After everyone was almost done eating, Chen Xi used the excuse of going to the toilet and secretly wanted to pay the bill.
However, his actions were noticed by Aunt Zhang. Aunt Zhang immediately rushed over and pushed Chen Xi to the side.
Chen Xi did not dare to push Aunt Zhang. He could only wait by the side obediently and said helplessly, "Aunt Zhang, it's just a meal. Do you have to be so polite with me?"
"Nonsense! Not even a bowl of noodles! "Aunt Zhang's attitude was very firm.
She could not afford to offend her, she could not afford to offend her …
Chen Xi smiled bitterly and shook his head.
When they paid the bill and returned to their seats, Aunt Zhang suddenly realized that Cai Shuqin had actually brought the child home without even saying goodbye.
"The child is hungry. Shuqin went back to feed the child first. Let's go too …" Xie Pinglin explained with a dry smile.
However, Aunt Zhang was so angry that her face turned red.
For the sake of face, Aunt Zhang did not immediately flare up, but her face was terrifyingly gloomy.
After leaving the hot pot restaurant, Chen Xi once again mentioned that he wanted to go to the hotel.
However, Aunt Zhang was in a fit of anger, so she did not say a word and pulled him into the house.
The little girl also saw that something was wrong, so she quietly said in Chen Xi's ear, "Grandma is unhappy. Papa has to be obedient."
Hearing that, Chen Xi smiled helplessly and then touched the tip of the little girl's nose with the tip of his nose.
He decided that he would take the little girl to Leshan to see the Buddha statue tomorrow. He could not stay in Chengdu and cause trouble for Aunt Zhang.
In fact, Chen Xi knew very well that Xie Pinglin and his wife were so poor that they could not afford a meal.
Obviously, that was not the case.
Their family was not poor. Instead, they had a small savings and were ready to buy a house.
The reason why Cai Shuqin had such an attitude was mainly because Aunt Zhang had been in Zhonghai for several years and did not take out a penny when she came back.
They were all family. Cai Shuqin was Aunt Zhang's daughter-in-law, so there were some things that could not be said directly.
However, this did not mean that she would not express her dissatisfaction in other ways.
The appearance of Chen Xi just happened to give her a chance to act.
