Chapter 359: short trip to the south
An' an and Duoduo were excited when they heard that they were going to the south. They tugged at their mother's skirt and asked, "Mom, how many days are we going?"
Mom is on a four-day business trip, and dad only has two days off on saturdays and sundays. He can only go and play with you for two days, so he has to come back early. So, mom will take grandpa and grandma to play this time. Usually when mom works, you go shopping and play with grandpa and grandma. If you like to play there, you can play for a few more days."
Now that her parents-in-law were retired and her grandchildren were old, she didn't need them to take care of her all the time. She had a lot of free time, so Li Haitang often invited them to go out and have fun.
"Okay. Mom, let's go pack now." Duoduo happily ran back to their room to pack.
"Sure." Li Haitang saw that both brother and sister had run away and chased after them, reminding them, "Don't stuff toys into the suitcase. It's too heavy to carry. Just pack your clothes and shoes."
"Okay." An' an replied.
Even though he had them packing up now, Li Haitang had to check everything when he left. He would throw out all the things he shouldn't have brought and only bring them some necessities.
Jiang Baichuan and his wife had received a call from their daughter-in-law, and they were packing at home. Unlike other elderly people, they didn't like to stay at home. They liked to travel and play. They often invited old men to take the train to the nearby cities to experience the different local customs and customs.
"Bai chuan, the south is hotter in summer than our side. Just bring a few loose shorts. What are you doing with these pants?" When Chu Hongmei was packing, he saw that he had stuffed a pair of trousers into the suitcase and wrung them out for him.
Jiang Baichuan stuffed his pants back into his mouth and explained, "Bring one. I like to wear these pants. This pair of trousers is not thick, and it is very breathable. It was bought by haitang, and it is very comfortable to wear. I don't know where she bought it. I'll ask her to buy me another one later. It's a little cold in the summer and not hot at all. It's much more comfortable than those dacron and cotton clothes."
Chu Hongmei heard what he said so miraculously. She picked it up and carefully touched the material of the cloth. She felt that it was softer than the pants she bought outside. She could not see the material, "I'll talk to haitang later. She's probably looking for her sister to buy these special pants. Since you like them, let her buy more fabric at once. I can make them for you."
"Okay." Jiang Baichuan picked out his clothes and pants, then turned around and went out, "Red plum, these are enough for your clothes. I'll go get my camera ready and pack some loose things."
He always brought the camera with him, and now this new camera is the latest model that Li Haitang bought for him from abroad. Recently, he has been studying at home and likes it very much. When he goes back to Yangcheng to play, he naturally takes it with him to take pictures.
The day before they left, Li Haitang received a call from her mother-in-law. Zi cong from her second brother's family and Ya Wen from her third sister's family wanted to play with them. At this time, it was summer vacation, and the tutorial class they had applied for had not started yet. She wanted to play with them for a few days before coming back.
Hearing that her brother and sister were going to play together, long fengtai was even happier. She spent the whole night asking about the differences between guangcheng and the capital.
They were on a friday night flight, and everyone had already had dinner at home before they left. The two parties met directly at the airport.
When they arrived at the airport, Jiang Chuheng told his nephew, "Zi cong, you are a big boy. When you get off the plane, you will take care of wen wen."
Second brother's Jiang Zicong was already a tall boy of fifteen years old. He was in high school and his high school work was busy. He had not gone out to play for a long time. This time, he went to south Guangcheng to play with his grandparents. He was as excited as a dragon and phoenix fetus. He nodded with a smile, "Uncle, don't worry. I will look after Wenwen."
"I'm not a child of three or four years old. I won't lose it." The quiet and pleasant Gao Yawen smiled helplessly. Her family treated her like a fragile doll, as if she needed constant care.
Jiang Chuheng looked back at her, "There are a lot of people in Guangcheng, especially outsiders. The security is not as good as expected. It's better to be careful."
"Oh." Hearing this, Gao Yawen nodded sensibly.
Duoduo carried her little bag, held her mother's hand, looked up and reminded her seriously, "Sister Ya Wen, listen to dad, we must always hold the hands of the elders."
"Hehe, okay." Gao Yawen laughed. She was already nine years old, and she was walking by the hand of an adult. She looked strange.
After boarding the plane, An' an looked out at the dark sky and said with a little pity, "Mom, we are leaving tonight again. We can't see the beautiful white clouds and the blue sky."
"Next time I come back, I'll buy a plane ticket for the day. I'll show you enough, okay?" Li Haitang didn't think so much about it before. He just wanted to get to Guangcheng in a hurry.
"Okay."
"Mom, how long will it take us to guangcheng? Is it the same time as visiting grandpa's house?" An' an asked again.
"Guangcheng is a little farther than grandpa's house. It takes more than ten minutes to get there."
"Where are we going to stay tonight?"
"Stay in a hotel. Mother had already asked aunt Liu Juan to book a hotel, and when she got to the airport, she took a bus to the hotel to rest. Have a good sleep tonight and ask dad to go shopping and play with you tomorrow. Mom is going to a meeting. She doesn't have time to play with you, but she will come to you for lunch."
"Mom, are you free to play with us tonight?"
"Yes. The night market in Guangcheng is especially lively and bustling. There are often lantern shows and flower shows, and various dragon and lion dance activities. Mom will accompany you to see them later."
"Wow, we like to watch lantern shows and dragon and lion dances. We saw them last year during chinese new year."
"Yes, it's all very lively. The flower show in Guangcheng is also very beautiful. There are many and many flowers placed together for everyone to see. The flowers in Guangcheng are more beautiful and have more varieties than those in beijing."
"Then we'll buy more. Everyone will carry a bunch home."
"Sure, you can buy whatever you like."
Li Haitang chatted patiently with the two children and answered patiently what they were interested in. Soon, after the other two nieces and nephews put away their luggage, they joined the hot chat camp and the plane took off quickly.
More than three hours later, the plane landed safely at Guangcheng airport.
At this time, An' an and Duoduo fell asleep again, lying on their parents'shoulders and sleeping like pigs.
After getting off the plane, jiang chuheng held his son in one hand and dragged his suitcase in the other, reminding the old parents behind him, "Dad, mom, slow down. Don't be in a hurry."
"We just took a nap on the plane. We're in good spirits. Don't worry about us. Just take good care of An' an Duoduo." Jiang Baichuan said.
Jiang chuheng nodded and looked at his nephew who helped carry two large suitcases. "Zitong, you are in charge of looking after your grandparents and wen wen in the back."
"Okay."
