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.
