Chapter 1087 Cotton Candy, Yo-Yo Car
Upon hearing their grandfather's words, Liu Yi'an and Liu Yibang quickly agreed, "Grandpa, first of all, our salaries are not low, enough to live on! Moreover, our family is there to support us. If we are still greedy, it will surely backfire in the future!"
Liu Yibang nodded, "Yes, Grandpa! They say that being free from desires makes one invincible. Not reaching out for personal gain or breaking the law is the strongest! In fact, whether it's marriage or life, our family has given us so much support! So we have no worries and no motivation to embezzle money!"
Grandpa Liu nodded, “I can rest assured at home that you can think and act this way! The power struggles in officialdom are very complicated, so you must be careful! Read more of the teacher’s works. The methodology and struggles in them will teach you how to gain the upper hand strategically and tactically and how to win.”
Liu Yibang smiled and said, "Grandpa, these are the books on my bedside table! No matter how tired or sleepy I am, I will still insist on reading."
Liu Yi'an smiled too, "I remember when I went to join the army, the gift my grandfather gave me wasn't these books! At first, I only understood the surface meaning, but as I worked, I gradually came to appreciate their true essence. Every time I reread them, I gain something!"
Grandpa Liu wholeheartedly agreed, "My books are worn out, but I still keep reading them! Every time I read them, I gain something new!"
Liu Yiwen thought about the book his grandfather gave him, which was still on the bookshelf and had never been read.
I finally understand why Grandpa didn't feel comfortable letting him go out; it's because he's really not suited for it.
Only in the small plot of land near his home can he perhaps use his cleverness to get things done. But when it comes to using his power to do big things, it won't be him targeting others, but rather others targeting him, and his family will be implicated as well.
The children were especially excited because there were many family members around, making it a lively occasion.
After lunch, as is our usual habit, we should take a nap, but today these children are playing too noisily and won't sleep at all.
Liu Meilan pushed out the family's tricycle, dressed the children in warm clothes and put hats on them, and said, "Come on, let's go out and play!"
Xu Chongyang said with a smile, "Aunt Meilan, I'll ride the tricycle!"
Liu Meilan nodded, "Then slow down!"
They moved the small stools up, and the children excitedly sat inside, chattering and laughing.
Liu Yiwen frowned slightly. "Meilan, don't you feel tired? Let them run wild in the yard. We should take our afternoon naps and leave them alone!"
All the children looked at Liu Yiwen upon hearing this, their expressions displeased.
Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang snorted, tilting their heads back, clearly disliking their father.
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "I'm not tired! I'll take them sightseeing during the day and let them go to bed early at night! If you're tired, you can rest! I can manage on my own!"
Wang Nuannuan smiled and said, "Me too! I'm coming along!"
Liu Yiwen was indeed tired lately. Seeing Liu Meilan say this, he said, "Okay, you take them on a tour first, and I'll take them when we get back!"
And so, Xu Chongyang rode his tricycle with five children inside, while Liu Meilan and Wang Nuannuan walked behind, taking them to the market.
With the Lunar New Year approaching, the festive atmosphere on the island is even stronger.
Not only are there more delicious foods and drinks, but even the entrances of each shop are now filled with brightly colored goods to attract customers.
"Mommy!" Fu Ying looked at the roadside stalls with her big eyes and couldn't sit still as they passed by. "Mommy, I want to eat!"
"Auntie, I want to eat!"
……
The five children in the truck bed were chattering and making a lot of noise.
Liu Meilan quickly said, "You all better behave yourselves, I'll buy you more!"
Upon hearing this, all the children sat up straight again, holding onto the edge of the tricycle.
Fu Hai quickly said, "Mom, we're sitting still and behaving very well. Please buy it for us quickly! We want the blue one!"
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Just like the clouds in the sky, you have to eat the white ones!"
Passing by the stalls selling them, Liu Meilan bought each of them a small one, using paper sticks because she was worried they were too small.
Although they still wanted the colorful ones, Liu Meilan refused.
To prevent tooth decay, Liu Meilan strictly limits her children's sugar intake. Even when they do eat sugar, she doesn't want them to consume too much sugar with artificial colors and additives, so the sugar they eat is always white, like clouds.
Although the children were a little disappointed that they couldn't buy the colorful ones, the sweet taste quickly comforted them, and they smiled again.
Since they just ate a meal, it's okay to give them something to eat now, but they absolutely cannot eat any other snacks.
Therefore, Liu Meilan refused when the children asked for more. However, when they saw a beautiful windmill, they wanted it, and Liu Meilan did not refuse. "You should all buy one!"
Even Wang Nuannuan had one; Xu Chongyang's windmill was stuck on the handlebars of a tricycle by Liu Meilan.
Facing the wind, the colorful windmills turned and made a rustling sound.
There are already yo-yos here; many yo-yos are parked at the entrance of the shopping mall.
The children loved it, so Liu Meilan stopped, put the children on it, and then tossed in a coin.
Wang Nuannuan looked on intently, while Liu Meilan inserted another coin into another empty seat. "Nuannuan, go sit on that butterfly-shaped yo-yo!"
Feeling like a grown-up, Wang Nuannuan was a little embarrassed. "Sister Meilan, I can't sit here! How can I plant something this big? What if I crush it?"
Liu Meilan smiled and pulled her to the side of the stroller. "The maximum load capacity on this is 200 jin (100 catties). You weigh less than 100 jin (50 catties), so you can sit on it perfectly! No matter how big you are, you're still a child in front of me!"
Wang Nuannuan was thus half-pushed and half-forced by Liu Meilan onto the stroller, her face flushed as she swayed to the music inside.
One yuan can buy you eight minutes of music, enough for two songs, but Wang Nuannuan is very happy.
Even happier than Wang Nuannuan were those children!
To attract more foot traffic, the mall even set up an inflatable castle at its entrance.
Children were already playing inside. After riding the yo-yo, the children started running over there.
Liu Meilan grabbed them one by one, saying, "If you want to go play over there, then sit quietly in the tricycle and I'll take you there! What if we get lost if we keep running like this? If you don't listen to me, I'll take you home and you won't be able to play outside anymore!"
Although the island is safe, the presence of bicycles and sometimes motorcycles makes it somewhat dangerous.
Moreover, children are small and don't know their own strength, so they are very easy to get hurt.
