Tang Dynasty: The pot is tied to the duck nest, the little rhinoceros is here!

Chapter 213 Honey, how about the fireworks?

She had only ever seen fireworks videos on her phone; those dazzling images flashed by in an instant, but she had never seen real fireworks in person.

Little Sizi tilted her head, looking confused: "What's fireworks?"

Chengyang shook his head: "I don't know, I've never seen it before."

Seeing their blank expressions, Li Lizhi explained, "It's like—lots and lots of colorful lights will explode in the sky, it's very beautiful."

Little Sizi thought for a moment, but still couldn't picture it. She blinked her eyes: "Like lightning?"

"It's not lightning, it's much prettier than lightning," Li Lizhi said.

Little Sizi had no idea, but seeing how happy her older sister was, she smiled along with her.

Little Si tugged at Jiang Fan's sleeve: "Brother, how about the fireworks?"

Jiang Fan was amused: "Fireworks aren't for eating, they're for looking at."

Gunpowder already existed in the Tang Dynasty, but it was only used for fireworks and firecrackers in the late Tang Dynasty. Moreover, there were only fireworks and firecrackers, not large-scale fireworks in the sky, so Xiao Sizi and the others certainly didn't know that.

"Oh—" Little Si nodded, then added, "Things that are both visually appealing and entertaining are the best!"

Chengyang glanced at her speechlessly and complained, "Sizi, can't you think of anything else besides eating?"

""

Little Sizi declared confidently, "Sure! I can even drink another bottle of Coke!"

Jiang Fan burst into laughter at her words, and even Li Lizhi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Seeing everyone laughing, Xiao Sizi also started laughing along, even though he didn't know what they were laughing at. But he was laughing anyway.

After laughing, Xiao Sizi suddenly remembered something, her eyes lit up, she jumped up from Jiang Fan's arms, grabbed his hand and pulled him outside.

"Brother! Let's go to Happy Valley now!" She looked up at him, her eyes full of anticipation. "I want to ride the carousel!"

I want to ride that—that big wheel that spins around!

Jiang Fan was jolted by her tug, but quickly steadied himself and said with a smile, "Now?"

"Mmm-hmm!" Little Si nodded vigorously, her two little dumplings bobbing along. "Let's go now! I'm all ready!"

Chengyang also stood up. Although he wasn't as excited as Xiao Sizi, his eyes were filled with anticipation as he whispered, "Young master, is it alright?"

Jiang Fan chuckled at their eagerness, but he didn't plan to set off right now, as the weather was too hot, around 38 or 39 degrees Celsius.

Departing at 2 PM and arriving at Happy Valley around 4 PM is just right.

So he shook his head and pulled the two little ones back to sit beside him.

He pointed out the window—the midday sun was blazing, and the heat could be felt even through the gaps in the curtains.

"Look outside," he said, pointing to the window. "The sun is so strong; if you go out now, you'll get a tan like a little black egg."

Little Sizi followed his finger and looked out the window. Sure enough, the sunlight was dazzling, even the windowpane shimmered white. She blinked, imagining herself as a little black egg, and shivered.

"But yes—" She still wanted to try, pulling Jiang Fan's hand and shaking it back and forth, her voice soft and sweet, "I want to go—brother—"

Jiang Fan's heart softened at her swaying, but he still stuck to his principles: "No, it's too hot now. Let's go at two o'clock, okay?"

"Two dots, Senya?" Little Sizi asked, tilting his head.

"Uh—we'll go later." Jiang Fan pointed and patted her head. "Are you sleepy now?!"

Little Sizi wasn't sleepy at first, but after Jiang Fan said that, she immediately yawned slightly. She rubbed her eyes and shook her head: "I'm not sleepy!"

But that yawn had already given her away.

Chengyang rubbed his eyes, looking at Xiao Sizi with a bit of confusion.

Jiang Fan laughed: "You said you weren't sleepy, but you're already yawning. Go take a nap, you'll feel refreshed when you wake up."

"Oh, okay, great, I'm full of energy now!" Little Si said in a serious, childlike voice.

Li Lizhi chimed in quietly, "Zhouzi, if you don't sleep now, you definitely won't be able to get up this afternoon. If you can't get up, you won't be able to go play."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Sizi immediately tensed up. She quickly pulled Chengyang towards the room, saying as they went, "Second Sister, hurry up, let's go to sleep!"

Chengyang, being pulled along by her, was both amused and exasperated: "Sizi, slow down—"

The two little ones climbed onto the bed and lay down side by side.

~

Only an hour later, Xiao Sizi, who was lost in thought, trembled slightly and slowly opened her eyes.

She rubbed her eyes, sat up, her little face still showing signs of sleepiness.

The small blanket covering her slipped down to her legs. She looked down, casually pushed the blanket aside, and walked barefoot into the living room, where Li Lizhi was sitting on the sofa, playing on her phone.

Li Lizhi caught a glimpse of Xiao Sizi's movements out of the corner of her eye, turned around, and asked in a low voice, "Zi, are you awake? Do you need to go to the toilet?"

Little Si shook her head, her voice still soft and sweet from just waking up: "No, sister, I don't want to go to the toilet."

"Then have some water." Li Lizhi picked up the kettle on the table, poured a glass of water for Xiao Sizi, and handed it to him.

Little Sizi took the water cup, held it with both hands, and began to drink it in small sips.

She drank half a cup, then stopped and handed the cup back to Li Lizhi: "Sister, I'm not drinking anymore! I can't drink anymore."

Li Lizhi took the water glass and put it back on the table.

Xiao Sizi sat on the sofa, dazed for a while. She blinked, then rubbed her eyes, and finally came to her senses.

The first thing I did after waking up was to turn around and look around.

Then, they searched the living room but couldn't find it, nor the kitchen, nor the bedrooms.

Little Sizi was getting anxious; the villa was too big, so she decided to go to the second floor.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Li Lizhi reacted quickly, rushing over and scooping up Xiao Sizi, who was barefoot and about to climb the stairs. "You're not even wearing shoes!"

"Big sister, I want to go find my brother!" Little Sizi struggled in her arms, twisting and turning her little body, kicking her little legs wildly, wriggling like an eel.

Li Lizhi almost lost her grip because of her twisting, so she quickly tightened her arms and whispered in her ear, "Brother Fan isn't upstairs. He just got a phone call and went out to get something. He'll be back in a bit."

The little ox froze, its struggling movements ceasing.

"real?"

"Of course it's true, sister, would I lie to you?"

Li Lizhi pinched Sizi's chubby little face, then put her on the sofa, picked up her slippers, and said, "Don't move, put your shoes on first."

The little ox sat obediently, but its eyes were always fixed on the outside.

As soon as Li Lizhi finished putting one shoe on her, she couldn't wait to shove her foot into the other shoe.

"What's the rush? It's not like it can run away." Li Lizhi shook her head with amusement as she looked at Si Zi.

As soon as he put on his shoes, Little Sizi slid off the sofa with a "whoosh" and ran out of the villa with his short legs.

As soon as Xiao Sizi stepped out the door, she ran into Jiang Fan, who had just returned.
