The third day is the last day of New Year’s Day holiday.

Su Chen took his family to a small garden in the town. There were many things to play in and the scenery was also very good. Su Chen thought to himself: It is rare to go back to his hometown, so you must take Yan Bingxue to see it.

"Dad, are there many things to play in there?" Lele asked happily.

"Yes, there are not only many fun things inside, but also many delicious and beautiful things!" Su Chen said with a smile and touching Lele's head.

The two little guys were so happy that they ran forward with great enthusiasm as soon as they got off the car.

Su Chen brought his family to the garden. There were many exquisite houses, rockery and waterfront pavilions, etc., which made people linger.

"Dad, this is different from the house we live in. It's so big here, there are many hills and a stream inside~" Tuantuan said in surprise.

From a distance, the sound of the orchestra moon and the melodious singing came, attracting the two children.

"Dad, it seems that someone is performing there. Let's go and have a look!" Tuantuan pulled Su Chen's sleeve and looked at Su Chen expectantly.

"Okay, mom and dad, Bingxue, let's go and have a look together!" Su Chen said with a smile.

A week passed, and it turned out that a group of Kunqu opera actors were performing "Peony Pavilion - A Dream of the Garden". The actors were all wearing makeup and costumes, and their every move was quite charming.

"Dad, what are those uncles and aunts performing? I feel like they are dressing so grandly. Everyone has thick makeup on their faces. Look, they still have a small folding fan in their hands, and their sleeves are long. When they wave it, they seem to be dancing!"

Lele pointed to the stage opposite Xiaohu and said.

"Husband, I didn't expect there was a small theater in this town. I felt that the performer lyrics were so gentle, it sounded very nice. The first time I saw such a performance, I felt very beautiful~" Yan Bingxue said with a smile.

Lin Xiu and Su Haoqian liked it even more. They loved this kind of short play very much.

Su Chen suggested that everyone sit here first, watch the show before continuing to stroll around, and everyone agreed.

"Good time and beautiful scenery, what a good day~"

…

The lyrics are accompanied by elegant soundtracks, and the process of sitting on the other side of the water to listen to the opera is very enjoyable.

Tuantuan and Lele watched the performers waving their long sleeves or wiggling their bodies, gathering or dispersing, and they looked very serious.

"Does Tuantuan and Lele know what uncles and aunts are performing?" Su Chen asked in her arms.

Tuantuan Colale shook her head.

Lele asked curiously: "Dad, I have never seen such a performance before, so Lele doesn't know what uncles and aunts are performing. Dad, can you tell me?"

Tuantuan also looked at Su Chen with anticipation.

Su Chen explained: "Uncles and aunts are performing Kunqu Opera, and the name of this Kunqu Opera is "Peony Pavilion".

"It describes the story of the official daughter Du Liniang falling in love with the dream scholar Liu Mengmei, but she died of hurt and turned into a soul to find her lover in reality, humans and ghosts fell in love, and finally resurrected, and finally formed a heart with Liu Mengmei forever."

"What we are performing now is the scene where Du Liniang dreams of Liu Mengmei in the story."

Tuantuan and Lele nodded in a slight understanding, and Lele said, "Dad, I think this story is so complicated, and it is a sad story. Dad, what story can't have a perfect ending?"

"Well... it is because of this story that there is an imperfect ending that people can reflect on themselves and cherish the present." Su Chen explained carefully.

"Oh, Lele knows. Lele thinks that Dad, Mama and grandparents want to live happily with the uncles and aunts in the story, because Dad, Mama, Lele and Tuantuan. Grandpa, grandma and grandma and we are with them."

Lele said happily.

"Yes, compared to the uncles and aunts in the story, we all live a happy life, so we must cherish such a happy life, right?" Yan Bingxue replied.

Yan Bingxue looked at Su Chen meaningfully.

Su Chen gently told Yan Bingxue: "We will continue to walk happily forever~"

Yan Bingxue smiled happily.

After watching it for a while, Su Chen took everyone out of the theater.

The two little guys saw a shop that made cotton candy and were very greedy.

"Damn it's marshmallow, and it feels colorful and delicious~" Tuantuan said greedily.

"Does Tuantuan and Lele want to eat?" Su Chen asked.

The two little guys nodded excitedly, and Su Chen took Tuantuan and Lele to the marshmallow shop to order a marshmallow for Tuantuan and Lele.

Talk about the colorful marshmallows in his hands, and he was so happy.

"Dad, Mom, eat candy~" I want to share my candy with my parents.

"Mom and Dad don't eat Tangtang and Lele, but you can only eat this one~" Yan Bingxue said, touching Lele's round little face.

"Yeah ~" Lele nodded satisfiedly.

Su Chen and his group continued to walk forward, and Tuantuan noticed an old lady on the side of the road with a small stall holding a needle and thread in her hand and sewing things. There were many exquisite small sachets hanging on the stall.

Tuantuan was attracted by this small sachet, so Tuantuan walked over.

"Grandma, are you sewing things?" Tuantuan asked squatted in front of the stall.

"Yes, grandma is sewing sachets~" the old lady looked at Tuantuan kindly.

"Dad, Mom, do you think this sachet looks good?" Tuantuan asked happily.

Lin Xiu walked over and saw that the sachet was indeed very exquisitely crafted, but the old lady had some skills on her body.

"This sachet is very exquisitely made~" Lin Xiu praised.

"I was bored at home and I made some small things to sell~" the old lady explained.

"Grandma, what's the use of this sachet~" Tuantuan asked in confusion.

"Sachets are used to prevent plagues a long time ago, and to ward off evil spirits, and to deworm them~" the old lady explained.

Tuantuan smelled the scent from the sachet, and felt it was very good and said, "Wow, there is a nice smell inside~"

"Hahaha, yes, kids, otherwise why do you call it a sachet? Do kids like it? If you like it, you can get one, grandma can buy it for you cheaply~" said the old lady.

"Dad, mom~" Tuantuan pouted his mouth and looked at Su Chen and Yan Bingxue.

"Since Tuantuan likes it, then take one. Should Lele take one too?" Su Chen asked.

"Yeah ~" Lele nodded happily.

Lele and Tuantuan happily chose a small sachet and wore it on their chest.
