Chapter 208 Visiting Beijing City
Lin Siqiao didn't know that such an incident happened after her competition, but it would be useless even if she knew.
Because Lin Siqiao still said the same thing, she is not interested in this.
When she returned home that afternoon, Lu's mother prepared a table of delicious food to celebrate for her.
Lin Siqiao also took out the wine that had not been finished during the last mutton hotpot dinner, and everyone happily filled their glasses.
Mother Lu drank a large glass of wine in one breath, and while everyone was there, she talked about the future arrangements.
"Tomorrow, your third aunt and I plan to take a good stroll around Beijing."
"I'll be back the day after tomorrow!"
When Lu Yunshu opened her mouth, she was stopped by Lu's mother. She glanced at Lu Jianchuan.
"Chuan'er, you are the oldest among you guys, so I'll leave these two to you."
"You must protect this person for me, do you hear me?"
"Got it, Mom."
Lu Jianchuan nodded solemnly, "Mom, are you leaving the day after tomorrow? Didn't you say you would stay for two more days?"
Lin Siqiao put down the cup in his hand and looked over.
"Aunt Lu, I don't have any projects tomorrow, and if you add the weekend, I have a total of three days off."
"You finally came here, why don't you stay for two more days?"
"It just so happens that everyone is free these few days, and the weather in Beijing is also good, so we will accompany you for a good walk."
After hearing this, Lu's mother felt sweeter than honey.
"Si Qiao, you are thoughtful."
Mother Lu also wanted to stay a few more days, but she had something she was worried about.
"Your uncle Lu's company is busy at the end of the year. If I go back early, he can relax a little."
"And your Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu, they are old, and I am always worried about them not having someone to take care of them."
After saying this, Mother Lu patted her hands and looked at her two children again.
"Now that everything has been resolved, and seeing that you are all fine, I have nothing to worry about."
Listening to Lu's mother muttering, Lin Siqiao nodded thoughtfully.
All women seem to be like this.
Once you have a family and children, your heart will be split into many parts.
"Don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities to come to Beijing in the future, so this one won't be a big deal."
Mother Lu also talked a lot with Fu Jinglan in private today.
From what she said, Siqiao will join the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after graduation unless something unexpected happens.
When Mother Lu heard this, she knew what was going on.
My daughter-in-law works in Beijing, so how can my son run away?
Therefore, it is very likely that this young couple will settle down in Beijing in the future.
Lu's mother would definitely be reluctant to let go, but she didn't intend to get involved in this matter.
As long as they live well, it doesn't matter where they live.
In fact, the most important thing is that Lu's mother is used to it. Over the past ten years, Lu Jianchuan has stayed at home for at most a month, and sometimes only a few days.
What do you think is the difference between giving birth to a son and not giving birth to one?
In the past few years, Lu's mother sometimes couldn't sleep because of anger.
Now, let them be.
Since Mother Lu said so, no one tried to persuade them anymore. As Mother Lu said, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future, so this one time wouldn't be a big deal.
The next morning, the group drove to the vicinity of Tiananmen Square. It was a rare day that there was no northwest wind, and the sun was quite warm on our bodies.
Even the flow of people in the square was obviously much more than usual.
"Aunt Lu, Aunt Fu, let me take two photos of you."
When Mother Lu heard this, her eyes lit up and she quickly pulled Fu Jinglan over.
Most of the photos taken by the two sisters-in-law are family portraits.
This is the first time we have taken a photo together hand in hand.
Lin Siqiao chose the right angle and took three photos for them in one go, with the backgrounds being Tiananmen Square, the Monument, and the Great Hall of the People.
You know what, these two people's looks and temperament are extraordinary, and they look good in any random pose.
"Siqiao, do you and Chuan'er want to take a photo too?"
Mother Lu has been living and eating with Lin Siqiao these days, and knows that she is not a shy person, so there is nothing to worry about.
"OK."
Lin Siqiao bought a camera just to record his life.
Why don’t you take some photos now to keep as a souvenir? Do you have to wait until you are old and outdated to take them?
After taking the photos, Lu Jianchuan went to queue up to buy tickets for the Forbidden City, and Lin Siqiao followed him.
There is no tour guide service in the Forbidden City at this time.
However, the last time Lin Siqiao came with Fang and his group, he heard the staff inside say that the ticket office sold a brief introduction to the Forbidden City.
It provides a detailed introduction to the major and minor scenic spots in the Forbidden City. To put it simply, it is a text version of a tour guide service.
Lin Siqiao asked about the price and found out it was not expensive: the ticket to the Forbidden City was 10 cents per person and the introduction was 6 cents per copy.
Lin Siqiao ordered a few and saw a mountain of things piled next to the staff's desk.
She asked casually, "Comrade, what is that?"
"This one?"
The staff member took out a book and handed it to me. "This is a postcard from the Forbidden City. There are 12 postcards in total. You can fill in the address and send it back to your friends and family."
Lin Siqiao opened it and took a look, and unexpectedly it was printed in color! The price is 65 cents a set, which works out to a little over 5 cents per ticket.
For people of this generation, it is not easy to travel far away.
Especially the capital, which is a place that many people yearn for.
Most people who come here will buy a few sets to take back as gifts or keep as souvenirs.
Seeing this, Lin Siqiao also bought a few sets and sent them back to his grandparents, uncles, and aunts so that they could take a look.
After paying the money, the group lined up and went into the Forbidden City. They finally came out three hours later, feeling unsatisfied.
If they didn't have to go to the Temple of Heaven in the afternoon, Mother Lu really wanted to visit it again from beginning to end.
Looking at the energetic Mother Lu in front of him, Lin Siqiao swallowed.
She admitted that the Forbidden City was very nice, but her feet just couldn't bear to visit it again.
Lu Jianchuan gave her a virtual support and looked at the time again.
"Mom, it's almost time for dinner, let's find a place to eat first."
Lin Siqiao nodded, that was exactly what she meant.
After discussing it for a while, they finally decided to go to Jingshi Roast Duck Restaurant to eat roast duck.
After all, this way of eating is only popular in Beijing and is rare in other cities.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the street of Dazhalan, Mother Lu's eyes lit up and she couldn't walk anymore.
Whether it’s roast duck or not, Lu’s mother thinks it doesn’t matter whether she eats it or not. The key point is that she must come here for a stroll after dinner.
It was only after dinner that Lin Siqiao discovered this.
Her future mother-in-law was really good at shopping. After a while, the packages in the hands of several people were almost full.
Originally, she and Lu Jianchuan planned to buy some local specialties for Lu's mother to take back.
Now it’s good, I don’t have to buy anything.
At the beginning, Lin Siqiao could still keep up with Lu's mother's pace, but at the end she just waved her hands and admitted defeat.
Before entering a store, she would first find a bench to sit on.
Lin Siqiao now understood why the men in later generations always had such a look of despair when accompanying women shopping.
She had always thought that they were worried about their wallets, but it turned out that they were worried about their feet.
