After breakfast, the family of five embarked on their journey to Shanghai.

It was the first time for Li Xianglian to go to such a far place. She couldn't stop looking out on the way, unable to hide her curiosity.

Although Lin Changchun had gone out once, he was in such a heavy mood that he had no mood to appreciate the scenery.

Song Chen bought sleeper berths for his family, and they were all next to each other, which made it very convenient for everyone to eat and there would be someone to watch over their luggage.

Song Chen did not save money on the journey and bought the set meals on the train. The old couple did not say anything to spoil the fun, and overall it went quite smoothly and harmoniously.

After their curiosity faded, all that was left was a long wait. When they finally arrived at the station, everyone was exhausted.

Li Xianglian became interested as she looked at these skyscrapers that were completely different from those in her hometown.

Standing downstairs, she felt so insignificant. She said, "Is this the big city? My goodness, the buildings are so tall. I'll be exhausted to climb them."

Lin Lu explained: "Those buildings all have elevators, and it only takes a few seconds to get to the top floor."

Li Xianglian was surprised: "Elevator? What is an elevator?"

Lin Lu: "I'll take you there to experience it tomorrow and you'll know."

The Shanghai stock market is developing very fast. After not being here for a year, I feel that many places have changed.

Song Chen: "Let's go home first, put down our luggage, and find a place to eat."

It's not early now, it's already 4:30, and there is no direct bus from the station. She has to change several buses. Li Xianglian is dizzy from looking at them.

"This person can't even find his way home after coming out."

Lin Lu: "No, you'll understand after coming here a few times. Taking the bus is very easy."

Not wanting to expose his ignorance, Lin Changchun didn't say much after getting in the car. He pretended to be a good hand and asked her not to ask so many questions, not to talk so much, and to keep quiet in the car. Li Xianglian couldn't help but slap him.

She lowered her voice and said, "You think it's embarrassing for me? If there's any shame, it's not you. Who can pretend like you?"

Lin Changchun glanced over: "I don't want to bother with you."

Lin Jingbi: Why do I feel like everyone in my family is a little crazy?

The ride took more than an hour, and it was almost six o'clock when they finally got home.

Last time, the two of them hired someone to do a simple renovation, and it is still habitable.

The house is a bit small, not as big as the two-story villa in my hometown, but it can still accommodate them all.

A living room, a kitchen, a bathroom and three bedrooms, just right.

There are quilts and other things, so just change the sheets and quilt covers, but it still needs to be cleaned, after all, I haven't lived here for so long.

After putting away the luggage, Song Chen said, "Let's go eat first. Everyone must be hungry."

Li Xianglian: "Did you start a fire the last time you came to my house?"

Lin Lu: “I’ve used it.” I also bought bowls, chopsticks and other things.

Li Xianglian: "Then let's buy some groceries and cook them ourselves." She felt that food outside must be expensive, and she didn't really like eating out.

Lin Lu: "It's so hard to come here, how can we not try the local specialties? Let's go out to eat, the vegetable market is far away."

Lin Changchun glanced at the old woman and said, "Just listen to the children. We've already agreed at home that we'll do whatever they tell us to do. You're the type to go back on your word."

Song Chen smiled secretly, thinking that his father-in-law was still the one who could control his mother-in-law.

Since I had to come back to clean up the house soon, I didn't choose to go too far and just found a small restaurant nearby.

This is an old residential area. The buildings are full of people and it is very lively at night. There is a row of small restaurants outside.

Song Chen: "You can order whatever you like. Don't be stingy. We've made a lot of money this year."

Lin Lu: "I've made a lot of money, it won't make me broke."

The students she tutored last year all did well in the exams. With their extensive publicity, Lin Lu's reputation has now become a gold medal lecturer. Many parents of high school students in the county have even found her phone number and want to invite her for tutoring.

But she refused because it was inconvenient to go there, unless they came here by themselves.

I heard from Song Jiajia that their principal also contacted her to inquire about Lin Lu's situation (the principal had been replaced when Lin Lu was studying, and the teachers had almost all been replaced). It's been so long, and I don't know why he hasn't come yet.

Lin Lu said to his parents, "Your task these days is just to have fun. Don't worry about anything else."

Lin Jingbei raised his hand silently: "I have saved quite a bit too."

He has a lot of pocket money, but his family members don't seem to be very interested. No one has ever asked him how much money he has, and he has no way to show off.

A lot of people in school asked him to modify their cars, and he made a lot of money from stocks.

"By the way, Mom and Dad, Teacher Xu said she might talk to you when she has time."

Xiao Xu also went back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year. Before leaving, he said that when he was free during the New Year, he would talk to his parents about modifying the electric car.

Song Chen: "What about you guys making cars?"

Lin Jingbei nodded: "Yes, he wants to make a complete electric bicycle and doesn't plan to take modification jobs in the future."

Song Chen praised: "Sure, I'll wait for him to call."

Lin Lu: "Have you told your master? We will go see him the day after tomorrow."

Today is the fifth day of the New Year. I will play here for two days and then go there on the eighth day.

Lin Jingbei: "I said it a long time ago." He said it when he decided to come to Shanghai to celebrate the New Year.

The master also said that he would personally give him a New Year's gift when he came here.

Li Xianglian was worried: "Xiaobei's master is so kind to him. I only brought the wine I brewed myself. Is it too light?"

The rich people on TV don’t look down on people from their village.

Lin Jingbei: "No, Master doesn't need anything. You can give me anything."

All of them are materials that come into his warehouse.

…

The dishes in this small restaurant are authentic Shanghai cuisine, which is sweet and light. The family didn’t eat much as they were used to spicy food, so they put down their chopsticks after filling their stomachs.

Only after leaving the house did Li Xianglian dare to complain, "It's so expensive and not to my taste. I'll try to eat something more to my taste next time."

Song Chen: "Okay, I'll take you to eat spicy food tomorrow."

The New Year atmosphere these past two days was not as strong as in the previous few days, but outside, there were still lights and decorations everywhere. There were colorful lights hanging on the trees, and there were lights of various colors on the walls of the buildings, which gave Li Xianglian and Lin Changchun, who had never seen them before, a little shock.

There were many people out looking for food on the road, and there was a small shop selling soup dumplings with a long queue.

Song Chen and his son Lin Jingbei also joined the queue and bought several servings for everyone to try.

Li Xianglian speaks highly of soup dumplings.

After walking around for a while, a few people went back.

There was no air conditioning in the room, and the fan was the one they bought last time they came. There was not even any heating equipment.

After cleaning for another half an hour, Song Chen sighed tiredly, "We still need to move to a bigger house. We'll go take a look when we have time."

There was only one bathroom, so the two old people and the child used it first, and then Lin Lu and the other person went to take a shower.
