Chapter 149: He wished time would stand still
When they reached the hotel, they bought some fireworks and a lighter from the small shop downstairs.
The landlady seemed to warm up to them a bit since renting a room and buying fireworks meant she earned a little money from them.
She said, "If the two of you find it boring to set them off alone, you can go near the supermarket. There’s a lot of kids in that area."
They thanked her, thinking that it wouldn’t be right to play with the kids without giving them something, so they bought a variety of small fireworks and then took a tricycle to the area near the supermarket.
Directly across from the supermarket stood a small temple; the locals were very devout, and every now and then, there would be a small temple for people to worship.
At this time, there were quite a few adults burning incense and praying at the small temple, while at the temple’s entrance, many children gathered to set off fireworks.
When they arrived among the kids with four large bags of fireworks, the children fixed their innocent big eyes on them.
Even during the New Year, parents were reluctant to give their kids too much money for fireworks, so to the kids, the two of them with four large bags of fireworks were like extravagant spenders.
Qin Muni felt like laughing as they stared, "Kids, come here and play with your big brother and sister."
The children didn’t move and stood where they were, glancing at each other as if asking whether they should go over.
