On the third day, it was the last day of the New Year holiday.
Su Chen brought his family to a small garden in the town. There were a lot of fun things to play with and the scenery was beautiful. Su Chen thought to himself, 'It's rare for me to go back to my hometown, I must bring Yan Bingxue to have a look.'
"Daddy, are there a lot of fun things to play with inside?" Lele asked excitedly.
"Yes, not only are there a lot of fun things to play with, but there are also a lot of delicious and beautiful things to look at!" Su Chen smiled and patted Lele's head.
The two little guys were so happy that they ran forward as soon as they got out of the car.
Su Chen brought his family to the garden. There were many beautiful houses in the garden, as well as rockery and waterside pavilions, etc. It was very enjoyable.
"Daddy, this house is different from the one we live in. It's so big here, there are many hills and a small stream ~" Tuantuan said in surprise.
From afar, there was the sound of a string instrument and the sound of the moon. There was also a gentle singing voice, which attracted the two children.
"Daddy, there seems to be a performance over there, let's go and take a look ~" Tuantuan pulled Su Chen's sleeve and looked at him expectantly.
"Okay, Daddy, Mommy, Bingxue, let's go and take a look together!" Su Chen said with a smile.
A week later, it turned out that a group of Kun Opera actors were performing "Peony Pavilion – A Dream in the Garden". The actors were all wearing makeup and costumes, and their movements were very charming.
"Daddy, Mommy, what are those uncles and aunties performing? I feel that they are dressed very formally, and all of them have thick makeup on their faces. Look, they even have small folding fans in their hands. Their sleeves are long, and when they wave, it looks like they are dancing! "
Lele pointed at the stage across the small lake and said.
"Hubby, I didn't expect there to be a small theater in this town. I feel that the performers are singing very well, and it's very nice to hear. It's my first time seeing this kind of performance, and I feel that it's very beautiful ~" Yan Bingxue said with a smile.
Lin Xiu and Su Haoqian liked it even more. They loved this kind of booklet play very much.
Su Chen suggested that they sit here for a while and continue to stroll around after watching the show. Everyone agreed.
"What a beautiful day, what a pity ~"
…
The lyrics, accompanied by elegant music, slowly drifted over. Sitting on the other side of the river and listening to the opera was very enjoyable.
The Tuantuan and Lele watched as the performers waved their long sleeves or swayed their bodies, gathering or dispersing.
"Do the Tuantuan and Lele know what they are performing?" Su Chen hugged Lele and asked.
Tuantuan Lele shook his head.
Lele asked curiously, "PaPa, I've never seen such a performance, so Lele doesn't know what they are performing. PaPa, can you tell me?"
The Tuantuan also looked at Su Chen expectantly.
Su Chen explained, "They are performing Kun Opera. The name of this Kun Opera is' The Peony Pavilion '."
"It describes the story of how Du Liniang, the daughter of an official, fell in love with Liu Mengmei, the scholar in her dream. She died because of love and turned into a soul to find her lover in reality. She fell in love with him, and in the end, she came back from the dead and married Liu Mengmei forever."
"They are performing the scene where Du Liniang dreamed of Liu Mengmei."
The Tuantuan and Lele nodded. Lele said, "PaPa, I think this story is very complicated and sad. PaPa, what kind of story can't have a perfect ending?"
"Well … It's because this story has an imperfect ending that people can reflect on themselves and cherish the present." Su Chen explained carefully.
"Oh, Lele knows. Lele thinks that PaPa, MaMa, and grandpa, grandma and grandpa should live happily like the uncles and aunties in the story. Because PaPa has MaMa, Lele, and Tuantuan. Grandpa has grandma and us by their side. "
Lele said happily.
"Yes, compared to the uncles and aunties in the story, we all live happily. So we should cherish such a happy life, right?" Yan Bingxue replied.
Yan Bingxue looked at Su Chen meaningfully.
Su Chen gently told Yan Bingxue, "We will live happily forever."
Yan Bingxue smiled happily.
After they finished watching, Su Chen led everyone out of the theater.
When the two little guys saw a shop that sold cotton candy, they were very greedy.
"PaPa, it's cotton candy, and it's so colorful. It looks so delicious ~" Tuantuan said greedily.
"Tuantuan and Lele, do you want to eat it?" Su Chen asked.
The two little guys nodded excitedly. Su Chen brought the Tuantuan and Lele to the cotton candy shop and ordered a cotton candy for each of the Tuantuan and Lele.
Lele and Lele were very happy with the colorful cotton candy in their hands.
"PaPa and MaMa, have some candy ~" Lele wanted to share her candy with her parents.
"Daddy and Mommy, if you don't want to eat cotton candy, you can eat Lele and Lele, but you can only eat this one ~" Yan Bingxue touched Lele's round little face and said.
"Mmm, mmm ~" Lele nodded with satisfaction.
Su Chen and the others continued to walk forward. The Tuantuan noticed that there was an old lady who had set up a small stall by the roadside. She was sewing with a needle and thread in her hands. There were many delicate sachets hanging on the stall.
The Tuantuan was immediately attracted by the sachets, so the Tuantuan walked over.
"Grandma, are you sewing?" The Tuantuan squatted in front of the stall and asked.
"Yes, grandma is sewing a sachet ~" The old lady looked kindly at the Tuantuan.
"PaPa, MaMa, do you think this sachet is beautiful?" The Tuantuan asked happily.
Lin Xiu walked over to take a look. Indeed, the sachet was exquisitely made. This old lady had some craftsmanship.
"This sachet is very exquisite ~" Lin Xiu praised.
"I was bored at home, so I made some toys to sell ~" The old lady explained.
"Grandma, what's the use of this sachet ~" The Tuantuan asked curiously.
"It's a sachet. A long time ago, people used it to prevent plagues and ward off evil spirits. It can also be used to repel insects ~" The old lady explained.
The Tuantuan smelled the fragrance coming from the sachet and felt that it smelled very good. He said, "Wow, there's a nice fragrance inside ~"
"Hahaha, that's right, little friend. Otherwise, why would everyone call it a sachet? Do you like it? If you like it, you can take one. Grandma can buy it for you at a cheaper price ~ "The old lady said.
"PaPa, MaMa ~" The Tuantuan pouted and looked at Su Chen and Yan Bingxue.
"Since the Tuantuan likes it, then take one. Lele, do you want one too ~" Su Chen asked.
"Mmm ~" Lele nodded happily.
Lele and the Tuantuan happily picked a sachet and wore it on their chests.
