The Qian family had a large group of more than twenty people, young and old, which made many people hesitate and could only swallow their cravings. The train finally arrived at Yangcheng Railway Station. As they filed out, they immediately saw someone holding up an enormous sign with the words "Qian Sheng, Jin Jinxiu, Qian Cai, He Ying, Qian Xiang, Guo Ni" written on it.
Guo Ni reacted quickly, grabbing the person next to her and leading everyone to walk briskly in that direction.
On the way there, Qian Xiang was carrying his young second child, followed closely by Qian Yin and his wife with their child. Qian Sheng was supporting Jin Jinxiu, with Qian Cai and He Ying beside them. Qian Rao was also following behind with Wen Yugui and their child. This time, Jin Kuohao also brought his son, daughter-in-law, and the old lady and old man Jin, which is why they bought soft sleeper tickets.
This large group of people successfully attracted the attention of A Biao and A Hu. Just then, A Biao's eyes met Qian Xiang's. A Biao's face instantly lit up with a bright smile, and he greeted Qian Xiang warmly, "President Qian!"
Qian Xiang nodded slightly in response to A Biao's greeting.
Ah Biao said to Ah Hu, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and help carry some luggage. Don't you even have any common sense?" After saying that, Ah Hu turned to Qian Xiang and asked, "I wonder what Mr. Qian's plans are for today?"
Qian Xiang still had a smile on his face. He looked back at the old and the young behind him and said, "Let's find a place to rest first. We'll also take a look around Guangzhou."
Ah Biao nodded and said with a smile, "Actually, the boss herself is in Guangzhou right now. However, she is currently at the garment factory dealing with production matters and cannot come to pick you up, so she specifically instructed Ah Hu and me to come and greet you."
Qian Xiang looked back at the large group of people behind him, wondering how he could leave smoothly. After all, these were all individual households, and it wouldn't be good to separate them and travel separately.
Ah Biao said with a smile, "Mr. Qian, the boss has already coordinated with the garment factory in advance and borrowed a large bus specifically for picking us up and dropping us off. We'll take this bus directly to the boss's residence to rest for a while, and then go to the tea restaurant that the boss frequents for a meal."
Qian Xiang smiled and nodded in agreement. He knew very well that since Qian Duoduo was here, Wang Rui would definitely follow. So, he turned around and said to Qian Cai and He Ying, "Father, Mother, let's rest here for a while. In a couple of days, we'll see if we want to return to Pengcheng with Duoduo."
At this moment, Qian Cai, who had just arrived in Guangzhou, seemed a little uneasy. He replied with slight nervousness, "Okay, I'll leave everything to you. You can decide." He couldn't understand a word the people here were saying.
Afterwards, everyone boarded a spacious bus. As soon as they got on, Qian Cai asked Qian Sheng with a big smile, "Wow, this bus is really impressive! It's completely different from the bus we took to tour Beijing when we got married to Duo Duo."
Hearing this, Qian Xiang couldn't help but laugh and explained, "Dad, this can't compare to the one made in Beijing. The bus used for Duo Duo's wedding was provided by the Beijing Municipal Government, while this one comes from the clothing factory. Naturally, the treatment and level are different." After hearing this, Qian Cai nodded in understanding.
The bus came to a smooth stop in front of an alley in the old city of Guangzhou. A Biao said to Qian Xiang, "Mr. Qian, this alley is too narrow for the bus to pass through. Let's put the package at the boss's house first, and then we can have dinner together."
Qian Xiang nodded and said, "Qian Yin, Qian Rao, Jin Shen, Jin Zun, come with me to put your luggage at home, then come back here and we'll go eat."
Those whose names were called stood up, picked up their belongings, and followed Ah Biao and Ah Hu out of the car. They slowly walked inside until they reached the two-story building. They saw Ah Biao put the luggage in a very small room and Qian Xiang asked, "Why did you put it here?"
Ah Biao laughed and said, "The key is with the boss. Besides, how can we just walk into the boss's house?"
Qian Xiang didn't speak. After putting their things down, the group returned to the bus, which started moving again and finally stopped in front of the tea restaurant. A Biao, with a smile, said warmly, "Gentlemen, the owner considered that you've just gotten off the train and must be tired from your journey, probably not having had a good meal or drink on the train. So he specially arranged for you to have a hearty meal here first. You know, this tea restaurant is quite famous in Guangzhou!" Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
As everyone entered the restaurant and found their seats, they discovered that the people around them were chattering away in an unfamiliar language. Qian Cai and Qian Sheng looked around curiously and couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
"Brother, what are they saying? We can't understand a word they're saying!" Qian Sheng asked, frowning.
Qian Cai shook his head, indicating that he was equally puzzled. "Yeah, it sounds kind of awkward."
At this moment, Qian Xiang, who was standing to the side, spoke up to explain: "They seem to be speaking Cantonese. Our country is vast, and each region has its own unique dialect. The Northeastern dialect from my hometown, the Cantonese spoken here, and the local dialects from other provinces are all quite different!"
Qian Cai and Qian Sheng listened to their teacher's words and nodded in sudden understanding, continuing to observe the words and actions of the people around them with curiosity.
Qian Sheng whispered to Qian Cai, "When I overheard Duoduo chatting with Lao San and Lao San's wife, they sometimes used foreign languages, which were completely incomprehensible, but the three of them could understand them."
Qian Cai frowned and pondered for a moment, when suddenly a thought flashed through his mind: wasn't his daughter-in-law also a college student? So, after hesitating for a moment, he turned to his son Qian Xiang and asked, "Can your wife speak any foreign languages?"
Upon hearing his father's question, Qian Xiangxian paused for a moment, then shook his head and replied, "Dad, I've never heard her mention this before."
Upon hearing this, Qian Cai's eyes widened, and he glared at Qian Xiang, scolding him impatiently, "You brat, your wife is sitting right here. Why don't you ask her yourself?"
Faced with his father's scolding, Qian Xiang gave a helpless, bitter smile. He muttered to himself, "My dad's temper is just unbearable." But since his father had spoken, he had no choice but to obey. He lowered his head slightly, leaned close to his wife Guo Ni's ear, and asked cautiously in a low voice, "Wife, do you speak a foreign language?"
Guo Ni was a little stunned by her husband's sudden question, but she still answered truthfully: "The courses we take have little to do with foreign languages, so I haven't studied them much, but I can still speak a little bit, not much."
