The little dumpling is five and a half years old, which made his father so angry that his head split

Since Ye Zhao and the others didn't want to go sightseeing, Ji Ying took them back first.

He then drove Li Tian out the door.

In order to find a companion for Li Tian, ​​Ji Ying went to pick up Ji Ping's son.

He didn't want anything else, just to make taking care of an older child easier and to help look after Li Tian.

As for skipping class, whether you study well or not, it doesn't matter if it's just a day or two.

"Tian Tian, ​​I am Ji Dongchen."

The ten-year-old boy was a head taller than Li Tian.

His aunt was a native of Shanghai, so Ji Dongchen also spoke with a pure Shanghai accent.

"Hello, brother."

"Tian Tian, ​​what are your hobbies?"

Li Tian had no intention of showing off and was quite annoyed by the perfunctory family relationships, but she couldn't avoid answering.

"I've just started learning piano."

Ji Dongchen nodded.

"It's good for girls to learn the piano, my younger sister dances, and I'm learning to paint under the tutelage of a master of traditional Chinese painting."

Everyone says that people from Shanghai are arrogant, and Li Tian could hear the sense of superiority in her cousin's tone.

Of course, they have the resources.

But she's not bad either!

They are only related by blood, and there is no real affection between them, so it's normal for them to be a little cold towards each other.

After nodding, Li Tian pretended to be sleepy and closed her eyes to sleep.

Seeing that Li Tian wasn't circling around him, Ji Dongchen lost interest in talking.

However, he did not forget his parents' instructions.

I must befriend this little cousin; I absolutely must befriend her.

Whether you understand it or not, you have to do it!

Ji Ying drove to the Bund with her two children.

I first browsed through the various small villas.

However, most of these buildings are now office buildings and cannot be visited inside.

"Tian Tian, ​​my dad works in that building."

Li Tian looked in the direction Ji Dongchen was pointing.

It turned out to be the municipal government office building.

Ji Ping should have taken the past few days off. If he's still working there, we could go in for a visit.

Even if you drive slowly, you'll pass by quickly.

"Uncle Ying, are we going to take the ferry?"

"right!"

Ji Ying turned to look at Li Tian.

"Tian Tian doesn't have any objections, right?"

Li Tian said with a smile, "I like traveling by boat."

The Bund is the "first bend" of the Huangpu River, while at that time, Lujiazui on the opposite bank was still farmland and factories.

The fun lies in the ferry ride itself, costing only a few cents.

The river is wide and the current is rapid.

Li Tian stood with her arms outstretched, feeling the rise and fall of the waves.

"The great river flows eastward, its waves sweeping away countless heroes of the past..."

Li Tian did not interrupt the young boy because this was not the Yangtze River. His ability to recite ancient poems in response to the scenery only shows that he has a profound literary cultivation!

"My brother knows so much."

After being praised, Ji Dongchen became humble in his speech.

When one side is willing to befriend the other and the other side is also willing to get along well, their conversations naturally become more and more harmonious.

"Uncle Ying, take a picture of us siblings."

Ji Ying's job was simply to play with the child, as long as Li Tian was happy.

I took a lot of photos of the two of them on the boat.

There wasn't much to do on the other side, so the three of them wandered around for a bit before taking the ferry back.

"Tian Tian, ​​do you like xiaolongbao (soup dumplings)?"

"like!"

"Uncle Ying, take us to eat."

Ji Ying poked Ji Dongchen's forehead.

"It's you who wants to eat it, isn't it!"

"Uncle Ying! Please?"

Li Tian had been observing Ji Dongchen, and the child didn't seem to have any major problems.

That bit of arrogance has nothing to do with character.

"Uncle, my brother likes it so much, it must be delicious. I want to try some too."

Ji Dongchen winked and nodded at Li Tian.

"Don't you want to go see the Peace Hotel? Don't you want to hear the jazz music there?"

Li Tian's eyes lit up.

Could this be a grand hotel with rooms designed in the styles of several countries?

Senior jazz is also a signature dish here!

"Brother, you can eat xiaolongbao anytime. I want to go to a restaurant to broaden my horizons."

Before Ji Dongchen could say anything, Ji Ying gave Li Tian a thumbs up.

"Good eye! If you want to listen to jazz, you'll have to use foreign exchange certificates."

"But it's very authentic, and the money was well spent!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Dongchen also became interested.

It was still early, so Ji Ying took the two children to have afternoon tea first.

Of course, he drinks tea, and the children drink milk.

"This cake is delicious, even more authentic than the ones at Friendship Store."

"It's really good! Tian Tian, ​​try some of mine."

Li Tian handed over hers as well.

They each dug out a piece from the side to taste.

Li Tian had eaten and seen everything, and her speech was refined. Ji Dongchen, who had initially followed orders to befriend her, now genuinely wanted to make her a good friend.

Ji Ying had only heard about the jazz band, as they had only moved in last year and he hadn't been there yet.

I asked the waiter and found out that the bar only opens around 7 p.m.

Ji Ying, with her two children, naturally couldn't wait until that time.

Moreover, tomorrow is a joyous occasion, and he will be going to the wedding procession.

"We're going to have to break our promise this time; we can't wait until then."

Both children were sensible and didn't say anything; there was no reason why they absolutely had to listen.

After afternoon tea, Li Tian asked Ji Ying to take her to the bookstore.

Li Zilong likes books, so I'll bring him some new ones when I go back.

After browsing the bookstore, they bought some xiaolongbao (soup dumplings). Ji Yingcai then took Li Tian back to the guesthouse.

Li Yuanchao only asked about the Ji family's wedding arrangements and knew that he had difficulty walking, so they didn't assign him any tasks.

After seeing Ji Ying off, Li Tian coquettishly recounted her trip.

As long as the child is happy.

On the morning of the 22nd, Li Yuanchao did not participate in the wedding procession.

But the whole family, including Liu He and Liu Wei, arrived at the hotel early.

Li Tian wore a new dress, which her grandmother Nie Qian had bought for her before the new year. She looked like a flower girl, but in reality, the flower girl for today's wedding was Ji Dongchen's younger sister, Ji Dongjun.

Li Tian didn't care about any of this.

Weddings have always been social occasions.

He followed Ye Zhao around, greeting people as instructed and saying hello as required.

She looked so well-behaved.

It doesn't matter how it is, but it has to be done the way it should be!

Most guests were entertained by the Ji brothers, while a few distinguished guests were personally accompanied by Ji Mingze and Nie Qian.

Ye Zhao was naturally an honored guest.

Li Tian stayed by Ye Zhao's side, and although it was a bit boring, she gained quite a lot.

"Injecting chicken blood, eating vinegar eggs, drinking red fungus tea, and doing arm-swinging exercises are all unreliable. If you want to improve your health, you should practice Tai Chi. There are no shortcuts."

……

become excited?

Isn't this an adjective?

not necessarily?

"Grandma, does 'getting chicken blood injections' really mean injecting chicken blood into your body?"

Ye Zhao nodded.

Still nodding?

Li Tian's surprise was undisguised.

"It's true, doesn't it sound unbelievable now?"

Li Tian nodded.

However, there must be a story behind the word's popularity.

"In the 1960s, a doctor said that injecting chicken blood could invigorate the body and cure diseases. This practice quickly spread and even became popular throughout the country."

"Yes, that's what the doctor said, and everyone believes it. My father-in-law had it done."

The person sitting next to him perked up when he started talking about the past.

"Back then, many hospitals offered chicken blood injections, and some even raised a flock of roosters to catch and draw blood from, creating chaos all the time."
