Even Pu Pao said, "Young Madam, this alley is really fun. No wonder Banli and Cong are laughing." She dragged one hand along the wall as she walked, a spring in her step as if bouncing on invisible springs. Juhua smiled at the sight. In the end, Pu Pao was still just a child!
Seeing the little ones so happy, Huai Zi couldn't help but laugh. "Don't squirm around! It makes it hard for your mother to hold you. If you keep moving, I'll throw you in the river to feed the fish."
Banli naturally couldn't understand and kept on giggling. By this time, they had reached the end of the alley and could see the river. A set of stone steps extended down to the water, where a black-awning boat was moored. A man and a woman were moving bamboo baskets onto the shore, laughing and chatting together.
Hearing the babies' laughter, the man looked up and quickly called out in pleasant surprise, "Brother Zhang, what brings you to the market?"
