Chapter 465: Visiting Flower Street
Chapter 465: Visiting Flower Street
The two little guys ran over, Shen Nuo carried them to the kang and gave each of them a kiss on the face.
Qin Yan also walked in and looked at Shen Nuo with a wronged look on his face.
"Nono only kisses them."
"Hey, come here."
Shen Nuo also hugged him and gave him a big kiss on the lips.
Song Siyan followed behind, but because he was already seven years old, Qin Yan didn't allow him to be close to Shen Nuo.
Song Siyan didn't have the habit of asking others to kiss him, but he thought Uncle Yan was so childish that he insisted on asking Uncle Nono to kiss him like he did every year.
He walked over, and Shen Nuo also carried him to the kang to play.
Niannian crawled over and imitated her mother, hugged Song Siyan and kissed him on the lips.
The speed was so fast that even Qin Yan couldn't stop it.
"Sigh~"
Qin Yan immediately pulled Nian Nian away from Song Siyan and held her in his arms.
"Niannian, you can't kiss others like this."
Song Siyan's face and ears turned completely red. He knew that this was something that only a husband and wife could do.
Every year he actually, actually...
Then, wouldn’t that mean he and Nian Nian are husband and wife?
"Hey, Si Yan, Nian Nian is still young, he didn't mean it."
Shen Nuo hurriedly explained, worried that Song Siyan would overthink it, and Song Siyan nodded.
"I know."
Even if he didn't do it on purpose, he still has to take responsibility. Niannian will be his husband from now on, and he has to treat her well.
Song Siyan confirmed his thoughts and said to Qin Yan:
"Uncle Yan, don't blame Nian Nian."
Qin Yan didn't take this seriously. After all, they were just two kids and didn't understand that much.
"Hahaha~"
She is not afraid of being scolded by her father and always keeps smiling.
The two adults played with the three children for the whole morning. Song Siyan kept holding Nian Nian and playing with her, and Nian Nian always took the opportunity to kiss his face.
Later, he called me brother in a low voice.
Song Siyan was overjoyed.
"Niannian, you can call me brother now? Then can you call Siyan brother?"
"Yan, brother~~"
Nian Nian's voice was soft, and when Song Siyan heard him calling him brother, he couldn't suppress his smile.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Qin Yan and Shen Nuo didn’t go to the flower street last year, so they are going to check it out this year.
But it was snowing outside and it was impossible to take the children with me.
Shen Nuo originally wanted to put the child in the space, but the child would cry if he couldn't see anyone.
I still think it's safer to keep it at home.
Qin Yan asked Song Zhen to come here to accompany Song Siyan and the two children, and took Shen Nuo out early in the morning.
This place is not far from Huanghua City, and Zhang Hua drove the car again, and the two of them quickly arrived at Huanghua City.
The snow had stopped, but there was still a lot of ice and snow on the ground. As they walked down the street, they could see many people setting up stalls to sell New Year's goods.
Shen Nuo was dressed warmly, wearing deerskin boots on his feet, his coat was also made of rabbit fur, and his cloak was also made of thick material.
He was wearing a rabbit fur hat, which made Qin Yan so adorable that he wanted to hide him completely.
But Nuo Nuo didn't like him like this, so Qin Yan had to hold Shen Nuo's hand and walk on the street.
Vendors on both sides were shouting, some were selling flowers, and some were selling fruit trees, but it was too cold in winter, so the oranges were wrapped in cloth.
However, Shen Nuo could still see clearly that it was an orange, the very sour kind that was sold during the New Year.
People usually buy it and put it on display. No one will eat it.
"Ayan, go buy some orange trees and put them up for display."
Shen Nuo likes it, and there are flowers. It would look better to put flowers during the New Year.
Qin Yan took Shen Nuo over and saw an old lady selling oranges. She said she grew the oranges herself.
But after setting up the stall for a quarter of an hour, not a single one was sold.
It was freezing cold, but the old lady just sat there, watching the flowers and plants at the stall next door being sold out, while not a single customer even looked at her own oranges.
"Mother-in-law, how much are these New Year's oranges?" Shen Nuo asked.
The old woman seemed surprised. She didn't expect someone would come to ask about the price of New Year's oranges.
But the young man at the stall next to her said:
"Oh, these oranges are so sour. They are useless. Let's buy our flowers. Look how beautiful our flowers are."
After the man finished speaking, he didn't care about the old woman's expression and took the flowers to show Shen Nuo and Qin Yan.
Shen Nuo dodged the flowers he handed to her and squatted down to look at the old woman's New Year oranges.
"Old lady, can you open the fruit and have a look?"
Shen Nuo was worried that this was a bad fruit. He didn't necessarily want to do charity, he really wanted to buy it.
The old woman always had a smile on her face.
"Sure, if you want to see it, just open it and have a look."
"Hey, I'm telling you, these oranges are so sour that they can't be eaten. Do you really have to buy them?"
The man seemed a little angry when he saw Shen Nuo didn't look at his flowers.
Qin Yan looked over and said:
"What? Are you trying to force a sale?"
Qin Yan was tall and had a cold look in his eyes, which soon frightened the man so much that he dared not say anything.
"No no."
Then he looked at the other people who had also come to see the Nian oranges and said the same thing.
"This orange is sour and can't be eaten. It's not as pretty as the flowers."
After hearing this, the man seemed to think it made sense and walked towards his flowers.
"That's true. I'd better look at the flowers then."
The person who originally wanted to buy New Year's oranges had theirs snatched away by the people at the stall next door, and the old woman could only smile helplessly.
She whispered:
"Yes, the New Year's oranges are very sour. Are you sure you want to buy them, little brother?"
She looked at Shen Nuo.
I saw Shen Nuo had carefully opened the cloth wrapping the New Year's oranges. The oranges inside were indeed intact and looked very beautiful.
He nodded: "Yeah, I like the taste of New Year's oranges."
After thinking for a while, Shen Nuo said loudly:
"Ayan, this year is a good year. Good luck to our family. May our family be blessed with good fortune in the coming year."
Shen Nuo's voice was soft and pleasant to the ear, and people around couldn't help but look over.
After hearing this, the man put down the flowers and walked over.
"This young man is right. I'll buy a pot of oranges for the New Year."
Shen Nuo didn't say anything, but just smiled at the old woman. Qin Yan stood behind him, so the flower stall owner had to hold back his anger.
When some people saw Shen Nuo, a handsome boy, they all came over to look at the oranges.
Shen Nuo picked out several pots, but unfortunately there were no large oranges like those sold today, so he could only buy these small ones.
After thinking about it, he picked out ten pots and Qin Yan helped move them to the side.
"Nono, I'll ask Zhang Hua to come over and move it."
Shen Nuo originally wanted to move there with Qin Yan, but Qin Yan did not agree.
"Be good, just wait for me here, okay?"
Qin Yan's voice was gentle, asking him to wait here first, so Shen Nuo had to agree.
He watched the old woman's business slowly getting better. The north wind blew and Shen Nuo felt a little cold, so he squatted on the ground and watched the old woman sell oranges.
Suddenly, a few people passed by and kicked the orange pot in front of the old woman.
"Protection money."
"We are the ones who protect this street. Old man, you have to pay for setting up a stall here."
There was a hint of hesitation in the old woman's eyes.
"This is my first time setting up a stall, and I don't know how this works."
"Humph, now you know. If you know what's best for you, pay me now. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude."
Shen Nuo squatted on the ground and watched all this, frowning slightly.
Shouldn't this street be under the control of the government? Even though it's a little off the beaten track, it can't be that there's no government control over it.
"If you don't give it to me, I'll give you something in return."
They were making trouble in front, and everyone around them quickly dispersed, for fear of being accidentally injured by these people.
Shen Nuo was just about to get up and find Qin Yan to ask the government about this matter.
Before he stood up, he heard someone say:
"Oh, there's a handsome boy here. That's perfect. Let's use this boy as a substitute."
When Shen Nuo looked up, he saw the men standing there with obscene eyes and determined expressions.
"No, he was just passing by. You can't do this."
The old woman's voice began to tremble and she looked at Shen Nuo.
"Little brother, hurry up and leave."
"I saw that they were in the same group. This guy was just helping to sell New Year oranges."
The flower seller next door said loudly.
"You old man, you still want to deceive us. You are simply courting death."
The leading men looked at Shen Nuo:
"Little brother, come with us quickly. Don't let us do it ourselves, otherwise you will be in trouble."
Shen Nuo raised his eyebrows and asked directly:
"This place is also under the jurisdiction of the government, right? Aren't you afraid that I will report you to the authorities if you do this?"
After hearing this, several people immediately laughed out loud:
"Hahahahaha, report to the authorities? Our brothers are working in the government office, go ahead and report it."
"You don't have to go to the government office to sue an official. Our brothers at the government office will come tonight, and you can slowly sue in bed, hahahaha..."
"If you're smart, follow us now. Maybe we'll show you some mercy, hahaha."
After that, the dozen people continued to laugh.
Someone whispered:
"These people have been collecting protection fees around here for a while. I'm afraid this guy is in trouble."
"What a pity for such a good boy."
"We can't do anything. They have the government behind them. How can ordinary people like us resist them?"
The sound of their whispered conversation fell into Shen Nuo's ears.
Shen Nuo hesitated for a moment and smiled at the person in front of him:
"Wait a minute, some people haven't arrived yet."
Those men thought Shen Nuo was trying to delay time, so they surrounded him.
Shen Nuo hid his hands behind his back. As long as they took another step forward, Shen Nuo would draw his sword and kill them directly.
But when he caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye, his slightly raised lips instantly turned downwards.
What Qin Yan saw was Shen Nuo being surrounded by several men and had no way to run out.
"Nono!"
His voice was very loud. Zhang Hua followed behind him. When several men saw someone coming, they subconsciously turned around to look.
The next moment, Shen Nuo's aggrieved voice was heard.
"Ayan, save me..."
The soft cry almost broke Qin Yan's heart, and he walked over quickly.
"Wait a minute."
Someone tried to stop Qin Yan, but was kicked out by Qin Yan.
He didn't even look at anyone else, he just rushed in and hugged Shen Nuo in his arms.
"What's wrong? Are you injured?"
Qin Yan's voice was so gentle, as if he was afraid of scaring the person in his arms, and he checked if he had any injuries.
Shen Nuo was in his arms, mumbling:
"They came to collect protection money, saying they had people in the government, and they wanted to take me back to pay for it. I was so scared..."
Qin Yan listened to this and immediately comforted him:
"Don't be afraid, I'll help you beat them."
As he said these words, he completely forgot that Shen Nuo had killed dozens of men by himself some time ago.
In his eyes, Shen Nuo is a little fox who needs protection and no one can bully him.
When those people saw Qin Yan and Zhang Hua coming, they retreated a little. Qin Yan did not look like an ordinary farmer.
Looking at his eagle-like sharp eyes and the aura around him, the men all believed him when they heard that he had killed someone.
Qin Yan looked at them:
"You want to arrest my husband? You're looking for death."
He protected Shen Nuo behind him and went up to punch the leader.
He didn't use all his strength, but he still knocked the man to the ground.
"Damn it, anyone who dares to hit me, come at me. Whoever wins will get to play with this guy...ah!"
Before the man could finish his words, Qin Yan kicked him away, and his body hit a big tree opposite.
Fortunately, the tree was very big, and the man was kicked and flew onto the trunk, rolling down several times before finally spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Others wanted to come up to help, but Qin Yan beat them all with his fists.
Some people wanted to take the opportunity to get close to Shen Nuo. As long as they caught Shen Nuo, they could use him to threaten Qin Yan.
However, before he could get close, Zhang Hua knocked him to the ground with a punch, and his teeth mixed with blood came out.
Shen Nuo took out a handkerchief with his gloved hand and covered his mouth and nose.
"That's disgusting."
When Zhang Hua heard his master's disgust, he immediately kicked the man away.
Qin Yan was beating Shen Nuo unilaterally in the front, while Zhang Hua was responsible for protecting Shen Nuo and would beat up anyone who dared to come over.
"And the flower seller, he just asked these people to arrest me."
Shen Nuo's voice was not loud, but Qin Yan heard it.
He grabbed a man by the collar and threw him towards the flower stall next to the old woman.
With a "pop" sound.
The fool smashed the flower stall to pieces, but that was not enough, Qin Yan threw a second one and a third one.
All the flower pots were smashed and the flowers were crushed on the ground.
The stall owner was so scared that he wanted to run away, but Qin Yan came over quickly and grabbed his collar with one hand. A deep voice like hell came out:
"Do you really want to die?"
The man was trembling all over and stammering:
"I...I didn't, I was wrong...I won't dare to do it again."
Qin Yan still knocked him to the ground with one punch. The man's body was covered with snow on the ground and mud from the flowerpots. More than a dozen people were beaten and couldn't get up.
And at the side, a man ran out directly, fearing that Qin Yan would catch up with him.
Qin Yan walked up to Shen Nuo, and Shen Nuo took out a wet tissue to wipe his hands.
"So dirty."
"Then Nuonuo, help me wipe it clean." Qin Yan looked like he was just doing a warm-up exercise, with a smile on his face.
He stretched out his hand to Shen Nuo and asked him to help wipe his hands. The people around him were so scared that they didn't dare to speak, and no one dared to help those who were crying in pain on the ground.
