Chapter 362 The Qiao Family Arrives in Shanghai

One night of love

The next day, Lin Siqiao slept until noon. It was the first time she got up so late since she came back in so many days. She could guess with her toes what they did last night.

Thinking about the scene after going downstairs, Lin Siqiao felt embarrassed and annoyed.

At this moment, the door opened with a click.

Looking at the man who had worked hard all night and now looked refreshed, Lin Siqiao really wanted to ask a question.

Why? Why is it that when two people do something together, in the end, only I am the one who suffers?

It was already too late and a few minutes wouldn't make a difference, so Lin Siqiao simply gave up, rolled up the thin quilt, turned over, and didn't even want to look at him.

Lu Jianchuan pulled the person up and said, "Wife, you haven't eaten anything this morning. Have some soup to fill your stomach first."

Then he asked again slowly.

"There are only two of us at home at noon today. How about we not cook at noon and I take you out to eat?"

Lin Siqiao was stunned, with an expression that said, "Don't lie to me."

"Just the two of us? Where are grandpa and grandma, and mom and Yunshu? Aren't they at home?"

Lu Jianchuan hummed, fed the chicken soup to her mouth, and then spoke.

"Mr. Shen has not been in good health since he came back from the northwest. Grandpa and grandma discussed it last night and decided to go to the Shen family to visit him today and talk about Yunshu's wedding date."

Lin Siqiao had nothing to understand after hearing this. No wonder this man was so passionate last night.

It’s all your fault, but I haven’t said a word yet.

Then I heard Lu Jianchuan asking what time my uncle and aunt would arrive, and how many people were coming this time so that he could make preparations in advance.

When Lin Siqiao heard this, she no longer cared about arguing with him and quickly got up from the bed to wash her face and brush her teeth.

This time, my uncle and his crew booked a fast train, which will arrive in Shanghai around 2:30 p.m.

Before coming, Lin Siqiao called home and told her cousins ​​that if they were free, they could come over to join in the fun.

But Mrs. Qiao refused, not because she was bothered by the round-trip boat fare.

Although the Qiao family is not a wealthy family, the children in the family all have proper jobs and can still afford a boat ticket of more than 10 yuan.

After all, I don't want to cause trouble for Lin Siqiao.

The Qiao family discussed it and decided that each family would send a representative, and that Grandpa Qiao would also come.

Finally, under Lin Siqiao's strong opposition, the two aunts agreed to come together.

There were five people in total this time, and the family car obviously couldn't accommodate them all.

However, there is a shuttle bus station near the pier, so it won’t be difficult to get a taxi when the time comes.

The two of them didn't go out to eat at noon, but just had a few bites at home.

Before going to the pier, the two went to a nearby old restaurant and booked a table.

Considering that his uncle and his family were not used to Shanghai cuisine, Lin Siqiao specially found a restaurant that serves Jiangnan stir-fried dishes.

At 2:30 in the afternoon, the Dongfanghong ship docked on time.

There were many people on the boat, so Lin Siqiao didn't run around. She just stood at the exit of the dock with Lu Jianchuan, waiting quietly.

Soon she saw several familiar figures.

My grandfather was holding a plastic bag of fertilizer in his hand, and there were several holes in the bag.

It was a hot day, and the mallards and roosters in the bag all poked their heads out.

My aunt was also holding a large basket filled with sawdust.

Lin Siqiao knew without even looking that there were eggs buried under the sawdust.

The uncles were even more stressed. In addition to the luggage bags, they also had a large bag full of mountain products.

Seeing them carrying large and small bags and sweating profusely, Lin Siqiao immediately remembered last summer.

My grandmother was like this at that time, carrying a load of hundreds of kilograms and appearing in front of me, trembling.

Lin Siqiao's eyes welled up and she stepped forward to take the bag from her grandfather's hand.

"Grandpa, didn't we agree that you only need to bring a few changes of clothes? Why did you bring so many things? It must be so tiring!"

Grandpa Qiao waved his hand, "I'm not tired at all. Just take these things aboard and throw them under the bed. Don't worry about them."

Lin Siqiao didn't argue with him.

At this time, Lu Jianchuan took two luggage bags from his uncle. This was not the place to talk, so the group hurried towards the parking lot.

After putting his things away, Lu Jianchuan went to the nearby taxi station to fill out a form.

When I turned around, I saw Lin Siqiao walking towards me with a look of confusion.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

Following the direction of Lin Siqiao's finger, Lu Jianchuan discovered that Old Man Qiao was arranged to sit in the passenger seat, while all the uncles and aunts of the Qiao family were squeezed in the back row.

It's a bit crowded, but there's still enough room to sit.

"What should I do? When my uncles and the others heard that I would be driving, they insisted on squeezing in."

Although there is no concept of overloading at this time and the traffic police on the road will not check this, it is still more than ten kilometers from the pier back.

Lin Siqiao wanted to make their journey back more comfortable, but after she tried to persuade them for a long time, the uncles still insisted.

Lu Jianchuan smiled when he heard this. He knew that his uncles had not seen their wives for a long time, so he did not try to persuade them on this matter. Instead, he stuffed the car keys into Lin Siqiao's hand.

"Drive your uncle and the others to the guesthouse first. I've already informed the front desk. You don't have to worry about the room fee. I'll settle it when we check out."

Before leaving, I reminded her to drive slowly on the road.

"knew."

Lin Siqiao is an experienced driver after all, so driving is not difficult for her. However, with so many people in the car, Lin Siqiao did not dare to drive too fast on the way back.

Knowing that this was their first time in Shanghai, Lin Siqiao changed his mind and turned the steering wheel at the intersection ahead, preparing to take everyone back via the Bund.

"Grandpa, the most prosperous street in Shanghai is ahead. After dinner, I will take you here for a walk."

Old Mr. Qiao leaned on the car window, looking up constantly, trying to count how many floors the building outside had.

But as I was counting, I became confused and finally said something with emotion.

"Qiao Qiao, this building is really tall."

Lin Siqiao nodded and said with a smile, "Grandpa, the building you just mentioned is the tallest building in Shanghai. It has 24 floors in total. It is a hotel."

Upon hearing that the building had 24 floors, my second aunt Li Dahua clicked her tongue twice and patted Qiao Zhiyi.

"The last time you went on a business trip to the provincial capital, didn't you go to the tallest building in the provincial capital? Wasn't that building only 10 stories high?"

After hearing this, Qiao Zhiyi's mouth twitched. He remembered that when he came back and told his wife about this, his wife shouted excitedly.

"Oh my god, 10 floors high? Wouldn't your calves be trembling if you climb up there?"

It's only been less than two months and it's only 10 floors.

However, there is really no comparison between the provincial capital and Shanghai. Shanghai is obviously much more prosperous.

The uncle and aunt of the Qiao family didn't say much.

In their words, they are just country bumpkins who have never seen the world, so when they come to such a place, they listen more, watch more, and talk less.

Just don't embarrass Qiao Qiao.

After passing through the bustling Bund, Lin Siqiao stepped on the accelerator and arrived at the guesthouse in just a few minutes.

After they finished checking in, Lu Jianchuan also rushed over.

Mother Lu and her friends arrived later. It was the first time for both parties to meet each other, so they were definitely a little reserved. Fortunately, Lin Siqiao mediated and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
