Whose little lady is so crazy?

Chapter 501 I want to make friends with her

When meeting Hong Xiaoduo's gaze, Aping immediately turned his head away. Perhaps he also felt that this was inappropriate, so he turned back and smiled at Hong Xiaoduo.

His smile was very unnatural, but Hong Xiaoduo had already looked away and asked Tianshu to put away the picture book: "Today is the Lantern Festival, there is a lantern festival on South Street. Let's go out for dinner and then go to the lantern festival."

The six children except Aping and Feiyan still followed her in arranging the next itinerary as usual. However, she just glanced at the atlas and noticed that the next destination, Jiaozhou, was in the north.

Even though it would take some time to arrive, the temperature might still be low. Feiyan kept this in mind and prepared some thicker clothes when she had time on the way.

Tianxuan didn't know that Hong Xiaoduo suddenly changed the route because of him. At this moment, he was already thinking that if he went north, there would be empty space on the frame, so he would buy some good carbon. It was not as cold here as in the north, the sales volume of carbon was not large, and the price was much lower.

Quan Jinghuai was already thinking in his mind that he should hurry up and train Tianxuan, as well as learn a set of swordsmanship.

For dinner, we found a restaurant and ordered dishes that the little ones liked.

The food in this restaurant is very good, except for Aping who seems to have a poor appetite and is frequently distracted.

"Brother Aping, what's wrong with you? Don't you like braised pork ribs the most? If you don't eat it now, we will eat it all." Xiao Yaoguang noticed Aping's abnormality and reminded him curiously.

"Oh, oh, didn't we say that we should eat dumplings after visiting the Lantern Festival? I want to save my stomach for more dumplings." Aping responded to Yaoguang with a smile.

But Yaoguang disagreed and said, "Mother said that we should eat less before going to bed, otherwise we will have indigestion. Especially glutinous rice balls, which are made of glutinous rice flour and are not easy to digest.

Brother Aping, you should eat more for dinner."

Everyone at the table was amused by Yaoguang's serious look and tone. Hong Xiaoduo didn't expect that this little guy could remember what he said every day so clearly.

Moreover, these children not only took her words to heart, but also listened to her.

Unlike some children nowadays, they find their parents’ advice to drink less beverages and eat less junk food annoying and nagging.

Many children even respond perfunctorily, but in fact they continue to do as they please and do not take their parents' words seriously at all.

But what on earth is going on with this A Ping?

Why did you react like this when you learned that the itinerary was changed and you were going to Jiaozhou?
Is there someone over there that he is afraid of, or has he encountered something extremely bad there?
Hong Xiaoduo and her group had almost finished eating, and as usual, Tianshu got up first to go to the counter to pay the bill. Hong Xiaoduo and her group were walking downstairs, and they happened to see the shopkeeper saying something, and Tianshu turned his head to look at them.

What's going on? Could it be that this restaurant overcharges them because they are from other places? But looking at Tianshu's expression, he doesn't seem angry.

"What's going on?" Hong Xiaoduo asked.

"It's nothing. I just told him that someone has already paid the bill for your table, young lady. Moreover, they left some extra money in case you need more dishes or drinks during the meal." The shopkeeper at the counter told Tianshu without waiting for him to speak.

What? Someone helped to pay the bill? Who was it? Hong Xiaoduo and the people behind her, young and old, were all very puzzled.

Hong Xiaoduo looked at Quan Jinghuai and thought that it should be someone he knew. After all, it was normal for him to meet friends in the world when he was traveling around.

Seeing her looking at him, Quan Jinghuai quickly waved his hand and said, "It shouldn't be someone I recognize, otherwise she wouldn't have said hello to me."

Not him? Hong Xiaoduo thought for a moment and asked the shopkeeper directly: "Does the shopkeeper know the person who paid for us? Is he in this restaurant now?"

"My lady, it's Manager Qian from Duobao Pavilion. He came in and paid the money as soon as you went upstairs. He also told us that if the money was not enough, we would charge it to Duobao Pavilion. After paying the money, he left." The manager responded with a smile.

I have worked in this restaurant since I was young, and I have been the shopkeeper for more than ten years. Naturally, I know Duobao Pavilion and the people who work in Duobao Pavilion, especially the owner and Shopkeeper Qian. After hearing the answer, Hong Xiaoduo felt a little surprised, but after thinking about it for a while, she roughly knew what was going on.

Although the money and goods between him and Duobao Pavilion were settled, the two things he took out were rare and valuable items for them.

This is an active show of goodwill, trying to make friends with her.

Tianshu's hand was still in his purse, and he was watching Hong Xiaoduo's intention. As long as she opened her mouth and expressed her opinion and rejected Duobao Pavilion's kindness, he would immediately take out the silver to pay the bill.

As for the money that Duobao Pavilion helped to pay, it also depends on her opinion, whether to return it myself and thank her in person, or let the restaurant owner return it to her.

"Since someone has helped to pay the bill, let's go." Hong Xiaoduo said.

Duobao Pavilion took the initiative to show goodwill and wanted to make friends, but as for me, after the results of the characters on the four bamboo plates came out, I would still have to look for information from Duobao Pavilion in the future.

In this case, I should just accept the other party's kindness. At worst, when the opportunity is right in the future, I can find some good things for the Pavilion Master.

When Tianshu heard her say this, he immediately took his hand out of his purse and tightened the opening of the purse.

The group left the restaurant and it was already dark, but this was the main street and the lanterns hung from the shops on both sides made the entire street very bright.

Hong Xiaoduo identified the direction, took Yaoguang's hand and led everyone towards South Street.

The streets are bustling and lively, but the children nowadays are no longer the same as they were when they first followed her. They are no longer as cautious and timid as they were back then. They are so envious when they see the meat buns on the street.

Following her for more than two years, they not only had good food and clothes, but also learned to read, practice martial arts and read and broaden their horizons.

Now, whenever I go shopping, I won’t stare at the steamed bun shop and drool, nor will I envy kids of my age who have cakes to eat.

They will observe the differences in architectural styles of houses in different places, and comment on the fonts on store plaques.

If there are many pickpockets on the street, the little ones will say that this is not a good government office.

If they see the streets are dirty and messy, and vendors shortchanging customers on weights and so on, they will comment that the local customs are not very good.

At this time, Feiyan saw that the embroidery threads on the roadside stall were nice, so she stopped to look, and everyone else also stopped and waited for her.

"Hey, Brother Aping, what are you thinking about?" Tianji, who was bumped by Aping, said casually.

Hong Xiaoduo looked over and frowned slightly at the flustered Ah Ping...
