Tang Tang didn’t ride out with her mother on the electric scooter today, but instead sat in a small cart, with her mother pushing her to the nearby market. The cart is very convenient, Tang Tang sits inside, and her mother can put the groceries in the fabric pouch underneath the cart, pushing them along with ease. The only downside is that the market is a bit far, so Mao Sanmei worried Tang Tang might get bored sitting in the cart, and gave her two toys. A small trumpet and a small rattle. The small trumpet is made of plastic, it sounds like "toot toot" when blown, and the rattle, also plastic, has many small metal pieces inside that clink together, sounding a bit like those instruments from Xinjiang. In fact, these are all from a children’s combo toy set, including the small maracas Tang Tang often plays with, all sound-making toys, designed to develop children’s hearing. Even though Mao Sanmei can’t hear sounds herself, she especially likes giving Tang Tang these noise-making toys to play with. "Toot toot... shake shake..." The small cart rolled along, with the noise continuously coming out, yet it was not disturbing, rather rhythmic. Along the way, many pedestrians found her cute, so they stopped to chat with them, some praised Tang Tang for being adorable, some wanted to take pictures with her, and seeing Mao Sanmei couldn’t speak, they felt more sympathetic, some even took out snacks to give Tang Tang. Unfortunately, few people carry cash nowadays, otherwise Tang Tang might have received quite a lot of money. This behavior might seem exaggerated, but it’s actually quite normal. It’s already winter, and many tourists come to Bin Hai to spend it here. Among them, many are seniors who like to walk around, and they are not lacking financially, naturally making them very kind-hearted. Some even left contact information for Mao Sanmei, offering help if needed. This is one of the reasons why Shen Siyuan would return from outside, and Mao Sanmei was still not back from grocery shopping. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱 Tang Tang didn’t care about these things, as long as she had snacks to eat, she wouldn’t blow the trumpet or shake the rattle, she laid in the small cart, crossing her legs, eating snacks, feeling happy like an immortal. However, once they reached the market, she couldn’t sit still in the cart, she eagerly stood up and tried to climb out, forcing Mao Sanmei to carry her down for fear she might fall. Tang Tang was this eager because Bin Hai is rich in seafood, so the market naturally had many stalls selling fresh fish, shrimp, shellfish, and such. All of these sea creatures were alive, kept in glass tanks. Tang Tang particularly likes these little animals and enjoys talking to them. "Hey~ Shake your tail and swim a bit?" She was greeting a grouper fish. But this grouper didn’t want to pay her any attention and even splashed her with water, yet Tang Tang wasn’t annoyed, wiped the water off her face, and smiled foolishly. Then she turned and pulled on Mao Sanmei. This was just a little episode, Tang Tang was soon attracted by a big sea crab nearby. This sea crab was quite large and seemed very aggressive, holding up its two big claws threateningly. Tang Tang mimicked it, holding up her two little paws, and started making "ah woo ah woo" noises, seemingly trying to scare it. The seafood vendor lady was amused by her, rummaging through her stall and then handing Tang Tang a few beautiful shells. These were ones she had specifically set aside for her children, carefully picked, not only perfect in appearance but also varied in color. Tang Tang was delighted, reached out and took them, remembering Shen Siyuan had taught her to say thank you. So she looked up and said thanks. "Haha, she’s a little Northeastern baby." The lady was amused by her, laughing heartily with good spirits for the day. Mao Sanmei quickly came over to offer thanks and then bought the very feisty crab. Tang Tang was very happy, drool dripping down the corner of her mouth. The two continued walking forward, Mao Sanmei bought two more fish and some oysters, Tang Tang really liked oyster omelets. Just then, Tang Tang sniffed a foul smell. She immediately covered her nose with her little hand, frowned, and looked around, discovering a heap of dead shells and sea snails next to a seafood stall. The stench was coming from those dead shells. However, Tang Tang noticed a very pretty sea snail among them, pure white, with a unique gold streak spiraling down from the tip, looking remarkably neat. So she pinched her nose, quickly went over, and grabbed it. Mao Sanmei quickly tried to take it from her, but she was clever, directly hiding the hand behind her back, looking angrily at Mao Sanmei. Stomping her little foot, she grumbled at Mao Sanmei. The seafood shop owner found it amusing, and seeing Mao Sanmei looking over, he waved his hand and said, "Let her have it, but this sea snail is long dead, the meat inside is rotten, it needs to be cleaned thoroughly when you get home." Mao Sanmei, of course, couldn’t understand, so she communicated with the owner via her phone for a while before figuring it out, then thanked him profusely, also buying two big green lobsters from the stall. Since Shen Siyuan has a big appetite, buying these wouldn’t go to waste. The vendor was naturally happy, even helped by putting the sea snail in a bag and sealing it to prevent the smell from escaping. He didn’t have tools to take out the meat, and forcing it open would damage the sea snail’s integrity. Tang Tang carried the bag, contentedly following behind her mother, even her steps seemed lighter. She kept glancing down at the bag now and then, the sea snail was indeed large, about the size of two adults’ hands, Tang Tang had to hold it with both hands to manage it. After this, nothing else happened, Tang Tang was exceptionally well-behaved, followed her mother finishing the grocery shopping, then returned to her small cart, crossing her legs, lying down, and continued eating snacks, leisurely heading home. Seeing Shen Siyuan at home, she immediately got excited and carried over the sea snail for him to see. As soon as Shen Siyuan opened the bag, a foul smell hit him in the face. He turned and looked at Tang Tang, only to see her hiding far away. "Come here, I won’t hit you." Shen Siyuan beckoned to her. He didn’t get Tang Tang, but Dou Dou came over. She stretched her neck to look, and immediately drew it back at the smell, surprised, said, "Potato bro, did you poop in the bag?" Shen Siyuan patted a few times on her bottom, since hitting one is the same as hitting the other. At this moment, Tang Tang quietly came back. "Take this and throw it away." Shen Siyuan tied the bag and handed it back to her. But Tang Tang shook her head and said, "It’s a treasure." Then she hugged the bag and went to find her mom. Dou Dou’s eyes lit up upon hearing "treasure," and she immediately chased after. "Let me see, what’s the treasure, is it immortal poop?"
