DAVM Chapter 56.3

Ji Zhile said, “I’m going to bring a lot of snacks tomorrow!”

Ji Ningyi said, “I want to bring a storybook.”

Pei Jing thought for a while and thought that he did not seem to have anything to bring. There were no snacks or extracurricular books at home.

“I can share the snacks with you tomorrow.” Ji Zhile said.

Ji Ningyi said: “I will also tell you stories.”

Pei Jing said ‘Yeah’. He used to go to the park frequently at his grandmother’s house. When he had time, he would go out to see if he could make some money. There were many mineral water bottles in the park, but he had never specifically gone to the park to play.

Si Tian said that the weather was very good tomorrow, and she would bring some food and treat it like a picnic. Pei Jing was also infected and became happy.

Ji Ningyi spoke in the darkness: “Pei Jing, do you still remember the text we learned, ‘Let’s Go Hiking’? I feel like this is how I feel now.”

Pei Jing was serious in class, so he naturally remembered. He said, “Me too.”

The two children smiled in unison at the same time, and Ji Zhile, who was sandwiched between them, pouted his lips. He hadn’t learned this text, but he would know it when he grew up.

The weather on Saturday was indeed very good, and Si Tian and the four of them set off toward the park.

Ji Ningyi sat by the window, looked at the scenery outside, and asked, “Mom, aren’t we going to the park in the middle of the street?”

That was the park closest to their home, and sometimes their mother would take them there for a walk. Yesterday, when his mother said they were going to the park, Ji Ningyi thought she was going to this one.

His mood was like the weather outside, sunny and bright, and he was much more lively.

Si Tian said, “No, we’re going to Bihu Park today. Since it is a picnic, of course, we have to go to a larger park.”

Ji Zhile cheered immediately: “All the students in our class have been there, saying that there is a children’s playground there.”

On Saturday morning, there were quite many people in Bihu Park. There were elderly people walking, couples riding bicycles, parents with children…

Si Tian made a strategy in advance and took the three children straight to the lawn area. You must know that there is a sacred picnic spot. If it is later, there will be no good location to sit. But they went at the right time, setting up a picnic mat under a leafy tree.

Ji Zhile immediately took out the snacks he had brought with him from his schoolbag. Si Tian watched as he took them out one by one and spread them out in a small area with many varieties.

“Why do you have so many snacks?”

Ji Zhile said proudly, “I saved them all myself.”

Si Tian: “That’s it. Where is it stored? How much is left? Didn’t you say you should eat less snacks?”

Ji Zhile was dumbfounded by Si Tian’s repeated questions. He did not think so much when he packed the snacks. He just thought about bringing more snacks. At this time, he hesitated and said: “No more, they are all gone. I don’t eat much, just a little bit.”

Ji Ningyi said: “Mom, Zhile has no snacks left. I saw him put all the snacks in his school bag last night.”

Si Tian asked: “When did Ji Zhile buy the snacks?”

Ji Zhile said in a low voice: “Dad bought it for me when he left, and Granny Fang gave it to me…”

Ji Zhile, who was very honest, gave Si Tian a headache. Ji Jiangzhou’s purchase was okay, and he had only been away for a week. However, Granny Fang was a long time ago, and she did not expect that Ji Zhile still had hamster attributes.

“Don’t hide from now on.”

Ji Zhile let out an ‘oh’ in disappointment.

“Tell me what you want to eat, and I’ll take you to buy it.”

Ji Zhile’s eyes lit up, and he looked at Si Tian with eyes hiding stars: “Mom is so kind.”

For the three children, picnics are a very interesting thing. Everyone sitting on the picnic mat, and eating seems to be more delicious than eating at home.

Ji Zhile had a full meal and felt a little drowsy when the sun was shining, so he dozed off on Si Tian’s arm.

Ji Ningyi and Pei Jing were talking. They were sitting at the same table and had many topics to talk about. Finally, Ji Ningyi said, “Mom, I want to go to the animal base with Pei Jing.”

It is said to be an animal base, but it only raises some herbivorous animals that are easy to feed. It is next to the lawn. Si Tian is very happy to see Ji Ningyi’s lively appearance, so she readily agrees.
