378 Returning to My Mother’s Home (2)
Chen Pingguo had met Mo Jiazhe many times.
I should say that she had met him on the first day she went to the factory for an interview.
Chen Pingguo had a very good first impression of him. He was tall and handsome, with a healthy and beautiful tan skin. He seemed to love to smile, always showing a mouthful of white teeth.
Later, when she found out that he was Auntie Zhong’s son, Chen Pingguo’s liking for him increased a lot.
But it was limited to liking, and she didn’t think much about other things.
And now, watching him running around for her, sweating profusely but without a single complaint, and when there were crowds of people, he would subconsciously protect her.
Chen Pingguo couldn’t tell what she felt in her heart.
Chen Pingguo is very familiar with Mumu, because Mumu often goes with Fu Yuanhang to pick up Chenchen and Dongdong.
Mumu is a chatterbox who talks about everything under the sun, but Mo Jiazhe actually doesn't talk much and listens to Mumu seriously most of the time.
He is also very good to his younger brother. He tries his best to meet any request of Mumu. Even if Mumu insults him, he doesn't get angry. At most, he smiles and rubs Mumu's head to tell him to stop making trouble.
Chen Pingguo has never seen a man with such a good temper.
But thinking of Aunt Zhong, Mr. Mo, and Mumu, they all have good personalities. It must be very happy to live in such a family.
...
Chenchen hasn't taken a train for a year, so everything is new to him now.
He kept saying "wow" from the moment he got on the train. Fu Zhengtu held him in his arms and answered all the questions the child asked. He explained everything in great detail without any impatience.
Other people in the carriage envied this family. A well-dressed aunt secretly said to Su Taotao, "Your husband is so nice and patient with the child."
Su Taotao smiled and replied, "Yeah, he's very nice."
Fu Zhengtu is indeed very nice and he taught Chen Chen very well.
Long-distance trains in summer are more tiring than in winter. The hot and stuffy carriages are filled with people traveling from all over the country.
Su Taotao could only lean against the window and breathe some fresh air.
Fu Zhengtu handed her a bottle of Fengyoujing: "It will make you feel better if you smell it."
Su Taotao took it, rubbed some on her temples, and put it under her nose to smell it. It really made her feel much better.
The train was stuck for a day and a night, and finally arrived at the G City Railway Station.
Fu Zhengtu was responsible for carrying the heaviest packages, Fu Yuanhang carried Chenchen on his back, and Su Taotao helped Fu Yuanhang carry the packages.
Chenchen couldn't help feeling the heat as soon as he got on the train and said, "Mom, it's so hot, the sun is going to melt me!"
Inland cities are not close to the sea, and there is no constant sea temperature. It is cold in winter and hot in summer, and the physical sensation is not as comfortable as the islands in the south.
"Don't move, let daddy put on your little straw hat." Su Taotao said.
Chenchen had already taken out his little straw hat on the train, and Fu Zhengtu took it and covered his little head with it.
Chenchen looked at this new city curiously, followed the crowd and walked outside, Chenchen raised his head:
"Wow, mom, the buildings here are so tall!"
Su Taotao looked in the direction of Chenchen's sight, the G City Hotel, which was completed in 1968, has 27 floors. It is a landmark building in G City, the tallest building in the country at that time, and the largest hotel in the country at that time.
Su Taotao looked at this city where she had lived for more than ten years in her previous life, and a sense of familiarity gradually surged in her heart.
When she was very young, her parents were well, her grandparents were still alive, and the family would go to this hotel for morning tea on weekends.
In fact, she was still young at that time, and her memory was already very vague, but when she set foot on the land where two lives overlapped, all kinds of feelings surged in her heart.
Fu Zhengtu put down the package and hugged Su Taotao's shoulders: "Sorry, I should have come back with you earlier."
Fu Zhengtu probably thought she was homesick.
In fact, it was and it wasn't.
Su Taotao couldn't tell him.
"It's okay, let's go."
...
In her previous life, Su Taotao was born in the 1990s. As a frontier city of reform and opening up, G City had entered a stage of rapid development when she was born.
The city is changing with each passing day, and she witnessed the rise of skyscrapers one after another.
However, the streets of the old city can still vaguely see the appearance of later generations, especially the West Gate. Many old houses built by wealthy merchants in the Qing Dynasty were renovated in the 21st century and became a Lingnan-style architectural protection area, which was built into a tourist attraction to attract tourists.
Many tourists from other places go there specifically to check in and take pictures.
The original owner "Su Taotao"'s home happened to be near this area. Her grandparents lived in the rare western house in later generations.
Her parents lived in a tube building allocated by the factory.
Su Taotao called them before she came back and only told them when she would come back. She didn't say the specific train schedule, but said that she would arrive at noon. If she was not late, she would be able to come back for lunch.
The two elders asked for leave from the factory today, and Su's mother prepared lunch at home.
Su Donghan paced back and forth at the gate of the compound with his hands behind his back under the scorching sun, his eyes occasionally looking toward the main road. Whenever a bus stopped at the bus stop opposite, he would stare at it without blinking.
Even the gatekeeper couldn't stand it anymore: "Master Su, the sun is so strong, and you're swaying around. I'm dizzy. Aren't you afraid of the sun? Who are you waiting for? Come inside and wait for me."
Su Donghan waved his hand, and his usually serious face looked particularly tolerant today:
"No need, my daughter is coming back to visit relatives today, I'll come down to meet her."
"Your daughter? The one who went to the countryside?" The gatekeeper was also a message relay station, and his memory was not bad. He remembered that the beautiful little daughter who was favored by Master Su had not been back for four or five years, right?
To be honest, he almost thought that she was gone in the countryside, and he never dared to ask.
Back today?
The doorman wanted to ask something, but he saw the sturdy Su Donghan running towards the bus stop in high spirits.
The doorman looked in the direction he was looking, and thought he was seeing things.
He rubbed his eyes and looked again - what the hell, are these movie stars here to film again? Why are these people so good-looking?
That beautiful girl who looks like a fairy falling from the sky, could she be the daughter of Master Su?
