Chapter 588 Strolling around Guangzhou
After leaving the department store, Cheng Min took them to visit a few more shops.
I bought ten pounds of Chinese sausage. The sausages from Guangzhou are sweet, unlike those from Beijing.
I also bought a few more bags of Cantonese pastries, wrapped in oil paper, which smelled delicious.
There are also a few bags of dried lychees, a local specialty, which I plan to take back to share with my relatives so they can try them.
Sun Xiulan followed behind, watching her spend money like water, and her heart ached.
"Xiaomin, that's enough, stop buying..."
Cheng Min ignored him and bought four more pieces of floral fabric, intending to make clothes for her mother, eldest sister, second aunt, and uncle when she got home.
Sun Xiulan opened her mouth and then closed it again.
She'd figured it out; she couldn't stop her daughter from spending money.
The son-in-law followed behind without saying a word, as if the family had an endless fortune that they could never spend all of.
"Young master, aren't you going to do anything about her? It's only been a short while, and she's already spent so much money..."
Chang Kun smiled and replied in a low voice, "Mom, it's alright. We're rich. Let her do whatever she wants..."
Sun Xiulan paused for a moment, looked at her daughter carrying large and small bags in front of her, and grinned.
This son-in-law really dotes on his daughter.
As he walked, Chang Kun suddenly stopped in front of a grain store.
"Wait a minute, I need to buy something."
Several large vats filled with rice and cornmeal were displayed in the shop, which Chang Kun glanced at.
"Give me fifty catties of rice and fifty catties of cornmeal."
Sun Xiulan was startled and grabbed him, saying, "Son-in-law, why buy so much grain? We can't possibly eat it all."
"Mom, we're not taking it back to Beijing, we're taking it back to the village tomorrow."
"You wanted to thank the villagers and neighbors for taking care of you over the years, right? Let's take some food back with us, and you can divide it up as you see fit."
Sun Xiulan's lips trembled as she tried to say something, but Cheng Min stopped her.
"Mother, Changkun is right. Our family should send a little as a token of our appreciation."
She knew her mother had returned to Beijing and probably wouldn't come back again in this lifetime, so she wanted to repay the favors she had received here, lest her mother keep holding onto them.
Sun Xiulan's eyes reddened. Her son-in-law and daughter were so considerate that she didn't know what to say.
"But...this is too much, and it's so expensive..."
Chang Kun waved his hand, instructing the salesperson to weigh the grain.
Seeing that there were also dried sweet potatoes next to the counter, he ordered another ten catties.
Sun Xiulan watched from the side, and tears finally fell.
Cheng Xin stared wide-eyed at the sight; he had never seen so much grain in his family before.
It weighs over 100 jin (50 kg), enough for him and his mother to eat for several months.
Cheng Min put her arm around her mother's shoulder: "Mom, let's go back tomorrow and deliver the gifts to each family, so they'll know you have a daughter now."
Sun Xiulan nodded, her tears flowing freely, but her heart filled with even greater joy.
Chang Kun took the grain, one bag in each hand, with ease.
After strolling around all morning, the sun was high in the sky, and the number of people on the street gradually decreased, but the food stalls became lively.
Cheng Min looked back at her mother and younger brother. Their faces were flushed with excitement, and they were carrying things, but their steps had slowed down a bit.
"Put your things back, let's go eat."
When you come to Guangzhou, how can you not try all kinds of delicious food?
After resting at the guesthouse for a while, Cheng Min urged them to go out again.
"There's so much food, what should we eat?" She was a little overwhelmed by the variety of food available on the street.
Chang Kun looked around and pointed to a shop in front of him.
"There's a rice noodle roll shop over there, let's try it."
The shop is small, and the owner is a middle-aged man who works quickly and efficiently. He pours the rice batter onto an iron plate, shakes it to spread it evenly, and then puts it in the steamer. It's ready in just a few dozen seconds.
We ordered four servings of rice noodle rolls, with eggs and meat, and four bowls of congee.
The family had been walking all morning and were starving.
The rice noodle rolls were served, white and tender, drizzled with sauce, looking incredibly tempting.
Cheng Xin picked up the chopsticks, unsure how to start, as he had never seen such a thing before.
Chang Kun demonstrated to the group by picking up a piece, dipping it in the sauce, and putting it in his mouth.
The others took a bite, and Cheng Min's eyes lit up.
"What is this made of? It's so smooth and smells so good..."
"Rice noodle rolls are made from rice flour." Chang Kun scooped a spoonful of porridge for her. "Try this, it's called 'Jidi Porridge,' it has pork liver and rice noodle rolls in it, it's good for your health."
Cheng Min took a sip; the porridge was smooth and had plenty of ingredients, but it was a bit hot, yet she couldn't bear to stop eating it.
Sun Xiulan smiled as she watched the young couple being affectionate.
Looking at her youngest son wolfing down his food, she felt a pang of sadness.
This child has never eaten anything like this before, from childhood to adulthood.
After we finished eating and came out, the sun was even stronger.
Cheng Min, still full of enthusiasm, grabbed her mother's hand and asked, "What are we going to do this afternoon? What are some fun places to visit in Guangzhou?"
Chang Kun thought about it and realized that there were quite a few places to visit in Guangzhou these days.
"Yuexiu Park, where you'll find the Five Rams Statue, a symbol of Guangzhou, and Zhenhai Tower, where you can see the entire city of Guangzhou."
Cheng Min's eyes lit up: "Let's go!"
The family arrived at Yuexiu Park.
The park was quite crowded, with people bringing their children to play, elderly people sunbathing, and young people sitting on benches chatting.
It can only be said that even in difficult times, some people still live under the warm sunshine.
As Sun Xiulan walked inside, she felt like she couldn't see enough.
This park is bigger than her entire village; it has mountains, water, and so many flowers and plants.
Cheng Xin was completely mesmerized, glancing at Xiao Hu on one side and the pavilion on the other, his neck stretched out as far as it could go.
Cheng Min stopped in front of the Five Rams statue.
"This is the Five Rams? The book says that Guangzhou is called the City of Rams because of this?"
Five sheep, of different sizes and shapes, the tallest of which holds a stalk of rice in its mouth and looks up at the sky.
Chang Kun nodded: "Legend has it that in ancient times there were five immortals who rode five-colored sheep and carried ears of rice to teach people how to farm, and that's how Guangzhou came to be."
Cheng Xin listened intently, staring at the designs for a long time.
Sun Xiulan looked up and suddenly laughed: "The village used to raise sheep, but none of them were this beautiful."
"Mom, when we get to Beijing, let's raise a few too."
Sun Xiulan laughed and patted her son: "What are you talking about? You can raise sheep in the city!"
"hey-hey……"
The family stood in front of the stone statue, chatting and laughing for a while, before continuing their walk up the mountain.
Zhenhai Tower is not tall, but from the top you can see most of Guangzhou.
The houses in the distance are densely packed, and the Pearl River stretches across the horizon like a silver snake.
Cheng Min, leaning on the railing and gazing into the distance, suddenly shouted, "Things will get better from now on..."
Chang Kun laughed and shouted along, "It will get even better..."
"Mom, let's all shout together!"
Sun Xiulan pursed her lips; she was too embarrassed to shout, and simply muttered softly, "Yes! Everything will be better!"
"Little brother, you go and call them!"
Faced with his sister's encouraging gaze, Cheng Xin steeled himself, closed his eyes, and grinned, shouting, "I have a sister! I have a dad! I have an older brother!! I... I even have a brother-in-law..."
