Chapter 2191: Chapter 2040: Cash for Goods (Part 5)

Brother Hu was even worse off than the bus driver who fought with the old man.

Song Xiaodong approached the bus driver who fought with the old man and said word by word, "You getting into a fight has nothing to do with me, but you pushed my wife down, so you need to apologize to her, or I’ll keep giving you trouble every day."

The bus driver who fought with the old man immediately replied, "Sorry, sorry, I was wrong! I apologize to you!"

Hearing the words he wanted, Song Xiaodong left with his people.

The next day, Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan insisted on going out to play.

"What’s the point of going out? It’s autumn now, and everything’s bare outside!" Of course Song Xiaoru said no.

"I don’t care, I just want to go out!" Miao Qingqing started being unreasonable.

"Exactly, exactly, you promised us we would go out this weekend!" Miao Xuanxuan chimed in.

"You two... Do you never listen to what I say?" Song Xiaoru yelled at Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan.

"Xiaodong! Sis is being mean to me!" Miao Qingqing said to Song Xiaodong, feeling wronged.

"It’s not safe!" Song Xiaoru said.

"Sis, it’s not that unsafe, they haven’t been out for long, and a little exercise is good for them. They shouldn’t always play games at home, today’s pregnant women have too much nutrition, the fetus becomes big, and exercise is healthier." Li Sijie said to Song Xiaoru.

"The key is you two aren’t reassuring at all!" Song Xiaoru replied.

"Oh, sis, don’t worry, we’ll definitely behave!" Miao Xuanxuan, pulling Miao Qingqing, acted adorably in front of Song Xiaoru.

"I don’t trust him either!" Song Xiaoru said, glancing sourly at Song Xiaodong.

"Sis, it’s fine, I’ll go with them." Li Sijie said.

"Alright then, be careful, call me if anything happens." Unable to resist everyone, Song Xiaoru said to Miao Qingqing and Li Sijie.

"Yay!"

Song Xiaodong, Miao Qingqing, Miao Xuanxuan, Li Sijie, Dragon Three, and Dragon Six went to Forest Park to play together.

It was already late autumn, with fallen leaves on trees; looking out, the hills were covered, from golden to orange to red, layered and overlapping.

Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan were like two birds freed from their cage.

"Wow, yes, it’s the natural fragrance!" Miao Qingqing closed her eyes and opened her arms to the forest, seemingly about to cry.

"It’s freedom, it’s freedom! I’m out! I’m finally out!" Miao Xuanxuan seemed like a reform-through-labor convict freshly released from prison.

Li Sijie and Song Xiaodong laughed as they followed, with Dragon Three protecting Miao Qingqing and Dragon Six protecting Miao Xuanxuan.

"Let me show you our son." Li Sijie took out her phone to show Song Xiaodong the album.

"How are our parents feeding him? Why is his face drooping, you can’t even see his chin!" Song Xiaodong said, looking at his son, who was as round as a ball.

"Exactly, we can’t let the elders take care of him, he’s being fed into a chubby kid!" Li Sijie agreed.

"How can my son be a chubby kid! Tell our parents to feed him less, look at this face, look at those arms resembling little sausages!" Song Xiaodong pointed at the phone screen, frowning.

"Hey, Qingqing, slow down, be careful! Watch your step!" Li Sijie shouted to Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan, who were walking further away.

"Hey, they’re doing better than I did." Li Sijie sighed.

"Back then, you wouldn’t even tell me." Song Xiaodong said, pulling Li Sijie close.

"We’re going to see chrysanthemums, there’s an exhibition here!" Miao Xuanxuan shouted to everyone.

"You two should avoid crowded places!" Li Sijie said to Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan.

"Why?" Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan were displeased.

"Why? You don’t know how to protect yourselves, what if you get squeezed with so many people?" Li Sijie said to Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan.

"Sister Sijie, you sound just like sis!" Miao Qingqing said to Li Sijie, wrinkling her nose unhappily.

"You know why? I vouched for you two with sis, if you lose a single hair, sis will come after me!" Li Sijie said to Miao Qingqing.

"Xiaodong, will you just take me to see them!" Miao Qingqing asked Song Xiaodong pitifully.

Song Xiaodong glanced at Li Sijie, and Li Sijie couldn’t help but laugh.

"Alright, let’s enjoy the chrysanthemums!"

Song Xiaodong then led the group to the Chrysanthemum Garden.

Appreciating chrysanthemums became a custom among scholars since the Han and Wei dynasties, reaching its peak in the Tang Dynasty, and during the Ming and Qing eras, there was the practice of creating flower mountains, essentially a grand showcase of chrysanthemum varieties, with large-scale shows in places like Beijing and Suzhou, showcasing more than a thousand kinds.

Chrysanthemums are perennial herbaceous plants; by cultivation form, they are categorized into many-head chrysanthemums, single-branch chrysanthemums, cliff chrysanthemums, etc. By petal shape, they can also be divided into circle embrace, retreat embrace, reverse embrace, flying embrace, etc.

Chapter 2044 The Weight-loss Elixir

Tao Yuanming’s had "Plucking chrysanthemums beneath the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the southern mountain."

Li Bai wrote, "Alas, the chrysanthemums beneath the eastern fence, slender leaves and delicate fragrance."

Li Shangyin’s said "Dim and faint purple, warm and bright yellow."

Zhang Jiuling’s wrote, "Plants have sincere hearts, why would they seek favor from fair maidens."

Chrysanthemums are one of the three famous flowers in China, one of the four gentlemen flowers, and since ancient times there has been a custom of appreciating chrysanthemums and drinking chrysanthemum wine during the Double Ninth Festival. The history of cultivating chrysanthemums in China exceeds 3000 years.

Chrysanthemums adapt well, love coolness, tolerate cold, and can grow in slightly acidic to neutral soil. Their blooming period spans summer, autumn, and winter, with large, medium, and small flowers, and colors of yellow, white, purple, red, pink, green, ink. Bicolors include Er Qiao, Mandarin Duck Lotus, Gold-backed Red, Early Phoenix, and Green Water.

Song Xiaodong, Miao Qingqing, Miao Xuanxuan, Li Sijie, Dragon Three, and Dragon Six came to the Chrysanthemum Garden, where they saw a dazzling array of colorful blossoms competing for beauty. A breeze blew, and the pollen felt smooth and snowy, the rich fragrance refreshing and invigorating, making them feel relaxed and pleased, albeit with engine sounds in the distance tarnishing the scenery a bit.
