Song Tan’s Chronicle

Chapter 236: 235. Peach blossoms and remote countryside

Views:

Yellow duck and macarons.

Qiao Qiao felt heartbroken and reluctant.

But he soon came up with a brilliant idea and quickly untied the balloon.

"Chi—"

A sound of giving up was heard, and the beautiful balloon quickly shrank again, and then shrank into an old balloon the size of a palm.

He looked happy and elated:

"Look, sister! Now I can have both a balloon and a boat."

He stuffed the balloon into his pocket and zipped it up, his expression full of pride.

This made Song Tan feel a little complicated.

She had been thinking, what should she do if Qiao Qiao rolled on the ground and cried, and she had to find a solution that would satisfy both parties

Now, the balloon is directly deflated back to its original shape and stuffed into the pocket.

"Isn't it more fun to hold the balloons in your hands when you buy them?"

"No," Qiao Qiao put on her raincoat seriously:

"I bought the balloon to tie it around my wrist to get a feel for it. Now that I've gotten a feel for it, I can let it rest for a while."

Good.

Song Tan thought with a complicated expression: This child is so easy to deal with.

The easy-to-discipline child got on the duck rubber boat tremblingly but seriously. Song Tan was with him. Suddenly, he felt that bringing him to the amusement park was really interesting.

Of course, when he came ashore in his wet raincoat, Song Tan thought: The amusement park... seemed to be quite interesting indeed.

He cast his eyes towards the roller coaster with its thrilling curve high up in the air - he wondered which one felt more bizarre, this or flying with a sword

Roller coaster, big turntable, high-speed motorcycle, flying across the galaxy...

With one exciting project after another, Qiao Qiao's laughter became louder and louder. He seemed to have installed a perpetual motion machine in this amusement park, and he did not show any signs of fatigue no matter how much he went around.

Especially when some rides are only for children over seven years old, but he can sit on them without any hesitation...

Oh!

Qiao Qiao didn't say anything, but from the look on his face, Song Tan could tell that he felt extremely superior.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Qiao Qiao finally finished all the exciting projects. Now she looked at the huge carousel in the center of the amusement park and said, "Sister, let's go ride a horse!"

Go! Go! Go!

Song Tan finally understood why all the parents had such tired looks on their faces - even for a child as easy to reason with as Qiao Qiao, after all the ordeal, her body was refreshed, but her soul was exhausted.

Therefore, facing the carousel that was more colorful than balloons, she shook her head decisively: "Go ahead, I want to eat ice cream, I'll go buy you some ice cream."

ice cream?!

Qiao Qiao was sweating profusely from the heat and instantly became greedy.

but…

"Sister, you go and have fun! I'm going to get some ice cream."

"No, no..."

The two struggled for a while, and finally when the carousel started to turn again, Qiao Qiao was still holding the plastic giraffe's neck, swaying up and down on it.

Song Tan finally breathed a sigh of relief and slumped down on a bench beside her. Even the ice cream opposite her could not attract her any more steps.

After sitting there in silence for ten minutes, Song Tan finally felt himself recover. He leisurely went to buy two ice cream cones, and while swaying, he returned to the carousel.

However, at this time, Jojo, who had just got off the carousel, got into an argument with someone.

“…Brother Leilei, how can you say that!”

Qiao Qiao glared at the man in front of her angrily.

"I clearly didn't say anything, why did you say I was a child who only made up stories? The flowers in my peach garden are much prettier than those in here."

"Forget it!" The girl on the other side pulled her boyfriend and said, "Didn't you say he was mentally ill? Why are you arguing with him?"

Song Tan just happened to come over with an ice cream cone and heard this sentence. Although she didn't know the girl who was speaking, the man standing next to her did look familiar.

It took her a while to figure it out.

"Wu Lei?!"

Isn’t this my uncle’s son

Seeing Song Tan coming over, Wu Lei's face flashed with a little unnaturalness. Before Qiao Qiao could say anything, he immediately hurriedly explained:

"You can't blame me for this. Julie and I were taking pictures up front, and Qiao Qiao had to come over and say this."

He was very good at avoiding the important issues. He didn't say a single key word in this sentence. Instead, he dropped a huge pot on Qiao Qiao's head.

However, although Qiao Qiao is stupid, he is not that stupid. He repeats the original words exactly as they were:

"These flowers are so pretty. Leilei, didn't you say you have a mountain at home? How beautiful it would be if you planted these flowers all over the mountain."

"No," Qiao Qiao happened to pass by, and seeing that it was Wu Lei, she added: "Brother Lei Lei, the mountains at home are for farming and selling for money. You can't grow flowers. Flowers can't be sold."

Wu Lei was also surprised to see that it was him: "Qiao Qiao, why are you here?"

He turned around and comforted his girlfriend:

"Don't listen to his nonsense. We live in a poor and remote area. How can we make money? I'll sow more flower seeds in there later."

"The seeds of Persian daisy and zinnia will sprout immediately after being scattered. They will look very beautiful in the fields and mountains."

Qiao Qiao was not happy with this: "My home is not a remote and poor village. The peach forest on our mountain is a hundred times more beautiful than the one here. Brother Lei Lei, please don't be biased!"

“Don’t plant the seeds in secret, or else once they start to grow, it will be very difficult to uproot them—pulling weeds is very hard work!”

He spoke a little loudly. People kept looking at him, and Wu Lei felt his cheeks burning.

On one side is the girlfriend, and on the other side is the silly little cousin who doesn't have much emotion... Naturally, the girlfriend is more important.

Wu Lei quickly explained: "Lili, don't bother with him. He is a fool. He was born with a brain problem..."

Qiao Qiao was not angry about people calling him a fool. He knew that his brain was not very good, but he could not accept people saying that his family was not good!

He took out his cell phone, quickly flipped through the album and pulled out Tao Lin's photo and held it up: "You're talking nonsense, your home is obviously more beautiful than here, Brother Lei Lei, you just make up lies!"

Wu Lei: …

He couldn't help but feel very distressed - why did he have to argue with a fool when there were so many things to do!

However, just as he was about to say something, he saw his girlfriend Julie snatch the phone away. Then, looking at the red glow all over the mountains and fields, she was quite moved.

"Leilei, this place is really beautiful. If I were to wear ancient costumes and shoot a video, it would definitely be very popular!"

She put the phone back into Qiao Qiao's hand, then tugged on her boyfriend's arm and swayed, "Go ahead, go ahead. I really want to go and see what this Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms is like on TV!"

"When the time comes, you must pick the most beautiful one and give it to me." Girlfriend Julie's face was full of longing.

"That's not possible either." Qiao Qiao said with a serious face: "The peach tree in our house is supposed to bear peaches."
