After breakfast, Qin Hai first drove Lin Qingya and Miao Qing to the company. Afterwards, he brought Xiaoxiao and Xuexin to the commercial street, intending to take them for a stroll and buy some New Year stuff.
The streets were bustling with activity, there were at least 30% more pedestrians than usual. Perhaps it was because it was the new year soon, but everyone"s face was full of joy. Furthermore, there were many shops decorated with lanterns and decorations, creating a strong festive atmosphere.
When they met the candied fruits seller, the two girls each took two skewers and ate them beautifully.
The weather was hot over there, she could wear a skirt in the winter, but she couldn"t buy candied fruits at all. Even if she could buy one, with the strict rules of the Shang family, she wouldn"t be able to eat one. In the past few days at the Spring River, she was like a little bird that had escaped from the birdcage. Every day, she would be able to see something new that she had never seen before.
When Qin Hai saw their happy expressions, his mood also became cheerful. He simply brought the two little girls into the old alley and specifically picked out some small food stalls that had some local characteristics to eat along the way. At the end of the year, there were many special snacks in various places, such as some fried rice cake, fried roll, stinky tofu, and fried buns. The two girls wanted to try everything, but in the end they just kept complaining, because their stomachs were about to burst.
Seeing the two of them rubbing their stomachs, Qin Hai was laughing so hard that his stomachs were about to hurt.
Xiaoxiao hugged Qin Hai"s arm and said in dissatisfaction, "You"re not allowed to laugh! It"s all your fault, brother-in-law. I originally said that I came here to go shopping, but now I have to bring us out to eat. Now, look at my stomach, it"s so big that I can"t walk anymore. What do you think we should do? "
Qin Hai laughed, "Then what do you think I should do? Your stomachs are yours. Can you trade the thing in your stomach for mine?"
"Anyway, you have to take responsibility!" Xiaoxiao began to act coquettishly.
At the side, Shang Tianxin suddenly burst into laughter. "Xiaoxiao, do you know that what you just said was heard by others? They will suspect that you had Big Brother Qin Hai"s baby?"
Xiaoxiao"s face immediately turned into a mess as she pounced towards Shang Tianxin. "Stinky Tiantian, I"m going to rip that stinky mouth of yours off!"
The two girls chased after each other, laughing. It was impossible to tell that they were unable to move at all. When they ran out of steam, Qin Hai followed up with a smile and said, "Are you still holding on?"
Xiaoxiao rubbed her stomach and said in surprise, "That"s strange. I don"t think I can hold on any longer."
"Because you ran away with the child!" Shang Tianxin burst out laughing again, causing Xiaoxiao to pout in annoyance. She pounced forward and started to fight with her again.
Qin Hai quickly grabbed one of them and separated the two.
"Alright, I"ve eaten my fill and played enough. It"s time to work. Let"s go prepare the things we need for the new year! "
"Yea, let"s prepare the new year"s goods!" Xiaoxiao shouted in excitement as she pulled Qin Hai forward. On the other side, Shang Tianxin"s face had long since turned red as she saw Qin Hai holding onto her hand.
Red lanterns, red blessings, red couplets, and many festive decorations. Qin Hai led the two little girls to buy a lot of things very quickly. Each of them had a lot of things in their hands, almost to the point of being unable to hold them. Fortunately, Qin Hai already had the foresight to let Lone Wolf lead a few people to follow behind them. Now, they had all become porters.
After handing over all the new year products to Lone Wolf and the others, Qin Hai led the two little girls to the plaza in front of them. They prepared to buy new clothes for each of them.
After walking a few steps, they suddenly heard the cries of a child. Qin Hai and the others looked over and saw a three or four-year-old child crying loudly. A young man was standing in front of the child. He was playing with the toy in his hand, but the child was still crying.
"Did the child encounter a trafficker?" Xiaoxiao cautiously stared at the young man for a moment before she whispered into Qin Hai"s ear, "Brother-in-law, do you think that man looks like a trafficker?"
Qin Hai didn"t know whether to laugh or cry and knocked her on the head, "Don"t talk nonsense. Look at his and the child"s appearance, don"t you think they look very similar? If I guessed correctly, he should be the father of the child. "
Xiaoxiao carefully examined the scene a few more times. Then, she stuck out her tongue and giggled. "It really does look like it!"
Soon after, Xiaoxiao ran over to the side of the child and helped the child"s father cajole him. Shang Tianxin even gave the child another string of candied fruits that she hadn"t been able to eat until now before the child stopped crying and began to lick the candied fruits with tears in his eyes.
Just as the father kept thanking them, a young woman hurried over, and when she saw the child, she excitedly took him in her arms and kissed him on the cheek again and again. Only then did the child"s face reveal a brilliant smile as he tightly hugged the young woman.
After a while, after thanking Qin Hai and the others again, the young man put the child on his shoulder and the family happily continued forward.
Just as Qin Hai was about to leave, he suddenly saw Xiaoxiao staring blankly at the back of the family of three. Her eyes even showed a strong sense of longing.
Qin Hai"s heart stirred as he asked, "Xiaoxiao, are you missing your parents?" "Actually, you should go home and celebrate the new year. They must miss you very much too."
Xiaoxiao shook her head. "I remember when I was young, Father liked to put me on his shoulders like this. Mom was watching us and laughing. Now that I think about it, that was my happiest time." "It"s a pity that I"ve grown up now and my mother is no longer with me."
The girl"s voice was choked with sobs.
Qin Hai quickly pulled her into his embrace and comforted her, "It"s fine, mother is no longer here. Don"t you still have a father? Furthermore, your sister and I will be your family from now on. "
"Dad doesn"t like me either, he likes brother even more!" After some inquiry, Qin Hai found out that this little girl"s background was actually very pitiful. Her mother had pa.s.sed away when she was young, and her father had given birth to a son after their marriage. She was no longer as fond of him, so even if it was New Year"s, Xiaoxiao was still unwilling to return to that family.
"Well, don"t cry. Whether your father wants you or not, your sister and I will never abandon you. "As long as you are willing, you can stay with us forever. No one will ever despise you."
"You said so, don"t lie!" Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and looked up at Qin Hai with teary eyes.
Qin Hai wiped the tears off Xiaoxiao"s face and said with a smile, "Look at your silly face. When did Brother-in-law ever lie to you?"
