Wife, please behave yourself.

Chapter 47 Setting up a stall
The rise of the internet has given the public more entertainment options.

However, it also means the loss of many interesting entertainment activities.

For example, this bustling area.

Near the square, there are street stalls, outdoor restaurants, and a wide variety of goods.

Even today in 2006, people still enjoy going out.

It's not about spending all day glued to your phone watching short videos that have no memorable moments.

Surrounded by the hustle and bustle, Liu Changcun felt a deep sense of nostalgia.

Looking at the various amusement stalls such as ring toss, darts, and air guns, he became interested and turned to look at his own children.

Looking around at Liu Wanqiu, who was looking around aimlessly, and Liu Songyan, who was carrying a pair of dumbbells.

"Do you guys want to play?"

"miss you!"

Liu Wanqiu raised her arms high and cheered loudly.

From the very beginning, she wanted to participate, but due to her lack of funds, she could only watch longingly without uttering a sound.

Now, when his father asks him a question, he responds loudly and naturally.

Compared to his younger sister's excitement, Liu Songyan beside her was much more silent.

He just looked at the pair of dumbbells in his hands.

He couldn't understand why his father would buy such a useless item.

And... it wasn't him who wanted to buy it, so why is he the one who's been holding onto it?

I carried it the whole way.

It's really heavy.

The vehicle had been returned, and after wandering around until evening, I returned home.

The father changed out of his suit and tie and back into his usual clothes.

Perhaps seeing that it was still early, they invited the brother and sister to go out again.

That's why I came to the nearby square.

We plan to have dinner nearby on Sunday.

The boy carrying the dumbbells looked ahead, watching his father and sister's backs as they approached the darts stall.

Look at the two of them enjoying each other's company.

For some reason, Liu Songyan suddenly felt very satisfied.

He rarely smiles, yet the corners of his mouth unconsciously curve upwards.

Watching his father holding a dart, demonstrating how to throw it as if giving a lesson.

The small balloon tied in the center of the plate made Liu Wanqiu, who was standing next to her, clap and cheer excitedly.

Father and daughter live in harmony, and the family is happy.

If things could continue like this... how wonderful that would be.

"I'm coming too, I'm coming too!"

Liu Wanqiu shouted and reached out to take the dart her father handed her.

Liu Changcun, who had just shown off his skills, looked quite pleased with himself. Recalling his previous life, he had won many small toys by throwing darts at his stall.

He completely captivated the female classmates who came out with him.

The starry look in her eyes was as she looked at herself.

He understood that it was adoration and worship.

"Dad, is this how you hold it?"

"Pinch with your index finger and thumb, but don't clench it tightly."

Upon hearing his daughter's question, Liu Changcun stepped forward to help her correct her mistake.

As a beginner, without the correct dart-holding posture, it is easy to miss the target.

Liu Changcun wasn't too calculating about this; it was just a game, and as long as his child was happy, that was more important than anything else.

"Hey~"

Holding the dart, Liu Wanqiu aimed at the balloon on the disc and threw it with all her might.

It flew past with a "whoosh" and landed on the disc with a "thud".

The tail of the dart trembled incessantly until it stopped.

"..."

"Ah...you didn't get pricked."

Liu Wanqiu looked dejected and murmured sadly.

The owner of the darts stall stared wide-eyed at the seemingly frail-looking girl standing beside him.

Coming to my senses, I walked to the roundabout.

Observe that the tips of the darts are completely submerged in the dish.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation in all his years of running a street stall.

He braced himself against the disc with one hand and held a dart with his right.

The stall owner used all his strength to finally pull the dart out.

Looking back, he saw the little girl picking up the dart again, ready to throw it. He snapped out of his daze and frantically waved his hands.

"Wait, let me move further away before you throw!"

"Oh, good."

"..."

The stall owner quickly walked out of his stall, far away from the round plate.

Standing silently beside Liu Changcun, he watched the other perform with the little girl's father.

Ta-da! Ta-da! Ta-da!

Each dart struck the disc with a powerful thud.

My hands began to tremble.

The stall owner fumbled in his pocket, took out a cigarette case, and pushed one out to the man next to him.

It wasn't until the cigarette appeared in front of him that Liu Changcun, still in shock, came to his senses.

His gaze shifted from the disc to the stall owner beside him.

"Thank you, I don't smoke."

"Is this your child?"

Without pressing the issue further, the stall owner solemnly lit a cigarette for himself and then put it away.

He took a deep breath and exhaled forcefully.

"The national javelin team?"

"..."

"This child has a bright future ahead of him; he can bring glory to the country!"

--------

Carrying the prizes they received.

Liu Wanqiu was very happy.

She walked with a bouncy gait, completely oblivious to the solemn expression on her father's face beside her.

The darts game was quite interesting, but for some reason, the stall owner asked her for an autograph.

She had missed the target several times and was unlikely to win a prize, but after the other party got her autograph, they generously gave her a panda-shaped doll.

Liu Wanqiu was very satisfied, hugging the doll she had received while shopping.

See if there are any other interesting stalls.

But then I heard my father's questioning voice.

"Late Autumn...would you like to take up sports?"

"No, I don't like sweating."

"If so what do you like?"

"Hmm...I like drawing!"

After thinking for a few seconds, he gave his answer.

Looking at his daughter's adorable face turned towards him, Liu Changcun finally softened.

Although the family may have lost a promising future Olympic champion, as long as their child is happy, that is more important than anything else.

"Okay, if you like painting, then go into the arts and strive to become a great painter."

"Okay~"

"Let's stroll around a bit more, then go eat, and then go home."

"Uh-huh."

Nodding in agreement, the 11-year-old girl quickened her pace.

My attention was quickly drawn to the other stalls.

It sprinted and stopped in front.

Holding a panda plush toy, Liu Wanqiu bent down and carefully observed the stall in front of her.

A simple tabletop covered with black velvet.

The bracelets were arranged in a regular pattern, shining brightly in the gradually darkening sky.

Perhaps it was her nature, but once Liu Wanqiu saw the ornaments on the table, she could no longer move her feet.

A few days ago, her father brought her a bracelet.

It's very pretty, and she likes it a lot.

She liked it so much that she couldn't bear to take it out of the house.

To this day, she still keeps that bracelet carefully in her room.

"Little sister, do you like any of them?"

Liu Wanqiu was completely absorbed in looking at the jewelry, and perhaps noticing the liking in her eyes, the owner of the jewelry stall finally spoke up to ask her something.

Shen Ruzhi, who was setting up her stall, immediately perked up and became tense, whereas she had been feeling lazy and bored.

Having no prior experience in setting up a stall, she tentatively began to recommend her wares.

"I feel like every single one would suit you... Would you like to try one on?"
