Chapter 52 Chapter 52 Daily travel.
We have completely dealt with Comrade Qian Juxiang. Our plan for the next few days is to go out and have fun, have fun without restraint, and try to visit all the streets and alleys in the city.
Upon hearing this plan, Lin Quansheng, who had been eager to move, suddenly lost interest. Rubbing his hands together, he approached Liu Suqin and said, "Well, Madam, it's so inconvenient for you to take your kids out to play by yourself. Do you want to find someone to hold your kids?"
Before the lady boss could react, the boss couldn't stand it anymore and pushed the guy who was facing his wife away. "If you want to hang out with us, just say so. Why are you being so weird?"
Lin Nanjiang said he disliked it, but in his heart he could understand his good brother very well.
He felt the same way. He said he came to Shenzhen to make a living, but he had just been idling away the previous years. It was only last year that he crossed the border and truly entered this gold mine. But he ended up being busy moving bricks to make money. Apart from food, clothing and housing being taken care of by others, he had never stopped to take a good look at this city that was both familiar and unfamiliar to them.
My wife just happened to say that this was her mother's first time in Shenzhen, and they hadn't resumed business so quickly, so we could take this opportunity to go shopping together and get to know this city where we will be living for a long time to come.
Lin Nanjiang was immediately excited when he heard the suggestion. He was eager to go out for a trip with his family. How could he leave his best brother behind?
Lin Quansheng was just joking to liven up the atmosphere. He took two steps back and said cheerfully, "Since I want to go out and play with you guys, why don't I move for the next few days?"
"Didn't I tell you before? You can stay as long as you want. You can even live with us for the rest of your life."
"That won't work. You have a wife and children, but I still need to get married." Lin Quansheng said with a smile, "I will definitely move out before Aunt Zhang comes back and make room for you. By the way, have you contacted Aunt Zhang in the past two days? When will she come back to work?"
"She called and said she'd come over on the 13th day of the first lunar month and celebrate the Lantern Festival with us. I said I'd drive to the village to pick her up and give her my mother-in-law's ID over."
Lin Quansheng nodded: "Okay, then I will move out before the thirteenth day. When you go to pick up Aunt Zhang, ask me to come with you. I also happen to be visiting a friend at the factory."
Lin Nanjiang is usually warm and generous and can get along with everyone, but he actually doesn't have many true friends.
Ever since he got married, or since he first saw Liu Suqin at the factory, his heart has been completely devoted to her. After they started dating, he only revolved around his partner all day long. After they had a child, it became even worse. His mind was full of his wife and child, and he was determined to work hard to make money to satisfy all the wishes of the mother and daughter.
Only Lin Quansheng, his good brother who grew up with him naked and always stayed by his side, could allow Lin Nanjiang to devote some of his attention to take care of him.
Lin Quansheng was different. Being single and married was very different for a man. Without a family to tie him down, even though they both worked the same job and fell asleep exhausted every night, Lin Quansheng still had the energy and energy to maintain his old circle of friends, writing letters and making phone calls to his friends at the factory, sharing their status from time to time.
Sometimes even Lin Nanjiang found it magical. He rarely saw him go out alone to make phone calls or anything like that. How did he keep in touch with his acquaintances in the factory and even know their recent situation?
"Of course, it's possible, but it's only the first month of the year, who's at the factory?"
"Old He, he was promoted to deputy workshop director last year. He's actively working on his new position and has volunteered to stay on duty at the factory during the Lunar New Year holiday."
"Wow, this kid has really made it! Their small factory is full of connections. Even the workshop team leader has to have some connections with the boss. How did he, an outsider with no connection at all, break through the siege and jump straight from team leader to deputy director?"
Qian Juxiang was listening intently to the gossip at first, but when she realized they were discussing this Old He, a man they had met at the factory and hung out with, and not someone from their hometown, she instantly lost interest in him and turned to ask Liu Suqin, "Which village does Xiao Zhang, who works for you, live in? Is it far from here?"
Yes, Qian Juxiang knew about Aunt Zhang's existence.
Liu Suqin had previously thought of letting things take their course and then explaining and introducing everything in detail to her mother after she met Aunt Zhang. However, this was not reasonable at all, because Qian Juxiang slept in the house where Aunt Zhang used to live. Whether the house had been vacant all the time or someone had lived in it before, Qian Juxiang, who had rich life experience, could tell the difference.
In other words, what she saw and heard on the night she first arrived and the next day were too shocking and completely overturned her three views. As a result, when Qian Juxiang was alone in the room, she always looked dazed and unable to distinguish reality, and naturally ignored these details.
When she paid some attention and began to observe her surroundings, she immediately discovered clues.
But at this time, Qian Juxiang had already made a promise that she would just take care of the children and would not interfere in their family's affairs. She found her daughter to ask what was going on. Liu Suqin was fearless and directly told her about Aunt Zhang's existence.
Qian Juxiang finally realized that she had been tricked by her own daughter.
The silly girl said that instead of spending a lot of money to hire a nanny, it would be better to let her family earn the money. But it turned out that people had hired nannies eight hundred years ago. She is so tight-lipped at such a young age.
It turns out that I am not irreplaceable.
This discovery made her feel very complicated. She was relieved that her daughter didn't suffer at all outside, but she was more angry that she was being played with and felt helpless because she had completely lost control.
She wanted to curse something, but when she met the girl's trusting and fearless eyes, she couldn't help but think of what she had promised the night before. Qian Juxiang instantly lost all her strength and means.
Words spoken are like spilled water, and cannot be taken back. She almost broke her teeth before she pretended to be calm and accepted the situation.
Of course, Qian Juxiang also tried to persuade them to fire the nanny indirectly afterwards. She had no control over the previous matters, but now that she was here, she would be sure to take care of the household. Why spend extra money?
As a result, the son-in-law looked submissive and obeyed his wife in everything, while the daughter asked her with an expression of "Are you stupid?", isn't it a good thing to have someone to help her with housework?
This sentence successfully put Qian Juxiang in a dilemma. It seemed that if she continued to persuade him, she would become the biggest fool in the world.
What else could Qian Juxiang do? She could only accept the reality with tears in her eyes.
At this moment, Lin Quansheng mentioned Aunt Zhang casually. Qian Juxiang tried not to think about Aunt Zhang's salary and asked about other things.
Liu Suqin also patiently explained to her mother the distance between the other party's area outside the Great Wall and their inner city, which is the city center. "Locals regard the area outside the Great Wall as the countryside, but it's actually very lively. In terms of prosperity, it can't even compare to the city center of our hometown. It is said that there are dozens or even hundreds of factories of all sizes in the town, employing tens of thousands of workers. Several of us also worked in the factories outside the Great Wall. When we first came out and rented a house to set up a stall, we also set up stalls in the largest night snack street there and lived in Aunt Zhang's village..."
When she heard that they had lived outside the Great Wall for many years, Qian Juxiang immediately became excited. "When Nanjiang goes to pick them up, can I go with him to see them?"
Liu Suqin herself did not intend to make any trouble. The only people she kept in touch with in the village were the landlord couple. However, when they occasionally came to the city to see their son, they would stop by to visit and reminisce about the past, so she didn't have to travel all the way to the village.
Mom wanted to watch the fun, so she could only throw the question to Lin Nanjiang, "Is it convenient?"
"What's the inconvenience? Just tell me where you want to go, and I'll take you wherever I can." Lin Nanjiang responded readily, and he thought so in his heart. It's obviously a good thing that his mother-in-law is not shy and is willing to go everywhere.
Lin Nanjiang thought that if his mother-in-law kept up this enthusiasm, she would soon be able to get along well with the aunties in the community and even in the nearby streets, and his daughter would be able to make many friends.
Qian Juxiang had no idea what her son-in-law was planning, and gave him a kind smile.
Her own son and daughter rarely received such a good treatment.
Qian Juxiang had previously only considered herself, confident that she was more qualified for the job than her mother-in-law. But once she arrived at the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, all her emotions turned to joy. She was so lucky to be here. If her mother-in-law had seen her son's behavior, she would have been furious.
This is also the reason why Qian Juxiang has been more gentle to her son-in-law than to her own daughter recently.
She needs to perform well and try to keep this position, so that her mother-in-law won't have the chance to come and find out the truth.
In this way, Qian Juxiang and Lin Nanjiang did not notice each other's little thoughts, and were trying their best to satisfy each other, forming a perfect closed loop.
It was also from this morning that they began their lively journey around Shenzhen, trying all kinds of delicious food while having fun outside.
Fangfang can now eat out a little. When she comes across a clean and hygienic restaurant, she orders a steamed egg without seasoning, or steamed fish or blanched shrimp, and mashes them together with rice. The little one eats them with great relish.
If you can't find a restaurant suitable for children, the milk powder you bring with you will be enough. You can feed the little one a few buns, steamed buns or fruits to fill their stomachs, and then give them a snack when you get home in the evening to make up for it.
The little guy who goes out to play with the adults is happy every day, grinning with his toothless mouth, and occasionally chewing on steamed buns is delicious.
Liu Suqin prepared a travel plan and took them to some relatively famous attractions such as Sea World, Xiangmi Lake, Folk Culture Village, Zhongshan Park and Xiaomeisha. The first few scenic spots were especially crowded with tourists, and the amusement park projects were even more exciting. Fangfang, a real child, was not old enough to ride a roller coaster. She watched her parents having a great time and squatted until the end. She was only carried by her father to ride a few rounds of the carousel.
After visiting most of the attractions in the city, on the last day of the "holiday", Liu Suqin suggested going to Jiaochangwei to catch seafood, which was recommended to them by the landlord's son Amin.
It is a small fishing village that is not well-known at present. Almost no tourists from other places find it. Amin has been there twice with his colleagues and the experience was great. Following the local fishermen to go fishing actually means taking buckets, shovels and other tools to the beach to catch crabs, clams, oysters and so on. Whatever you catch, you can cook a pot at home. It is delicious and fun. Amin praised this activity highly.
What you need to pay attention to is that you should not be too obsessed with sea fishing. If you find that the villagers start to return, do not linger and just follow them.
In addition, there are almost no tourists going to the small fishing village, so there are no restaurants or anything like that. Many people who go there bring their own food. If you don’t want to bother, you can just bring a bucket of instant noodles. You can go to the village store and buy a pack of cigarettes or snacks, and then ask the proprietress to boil water for a bowl of instant noodles.
Amin explained in detail, and Liu Suqin made thorough preparations before leaving. She brought the sea-hunting equipment, her daughter's spare clothes, and two large boxes of lunch boxes with sandwiches as the main food.
Liu Suqin made the sandwich herself.
A few days ago, their family went to McDonald's, and even Xiao Fangfang got a bowl of mashed potatoes. She put on the bib embroidered by her grandmother, took the spoon and started to show off. She took a mouthful of mashed potatoes, and half of it was rubbed on her fair and delicate little face, but the little one enjoyed it very much, and smiled so hard that her teeth were showing.
Qian Juxiang had a good opinion of her grandson's favorite mashed potatoes, French fries, chicken wings, and ice cream, saying they were fresh and new to her. However, she was extremely disgusted with hamburgers, saying that apart from the meat inside, the bread on the outside was terrible and tasteless, and she might as well go home and eat meat buns.
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Liu Suqin suddenly remembered the bread sandwiches that Fangfang liked in her previous life. She had an idea. Although she was not used to eating hamburgers, she could make sandwiches at home occasionally. They were rich in flavor and healthy and delicious. Her mother would probably like sandwiches made with soft toast too.
The main reason is that no matter how good Aunt Zhang’s cooking skills are, people will get a little tired of eating Chinese breakfast 365 days a year.
Just as she was going home after dinner, she passed by the cake shop she often went to and found that the young owner had opened it early. Liu Suqin invited everyone to go in and take a look. She selected a few types of bread and toast, and tried to make a fusion of Chinese and Western toast the next day.
Because there was no bacon and salad dressing at home, Liu Suqin put fried eggs, ham and bacon brought back from her hometown. She added some chili oil to the dish for those who liked spicy food. Unexpectedly, it received praise from everyone.
This time when she went to the beach, Liu Suqin prepared several flavors of sandwiches. She later went to the supermarket and found salad dressing and bacon cheese, so there were traditional flavors as well as innovative bacon and pepper sandwiches for her to choose from.
There was also a box of cut fruit. Liu Suqin and her daughter put on the same beach hat and set out to go to the beach.
