However, no matter how curious they were and wanted to play, they couldn't do so because they didn't even have time to rest on the first night in the city, and no one had the energy to accompany Meng Yan for a wander.
Meng Sheng unloaded his luggage, thanked the driver, watched the car drive away, then picked up the luggage and led his wife and children to a hotel on the roadside.
He has bought quite a few houses in the provincial capital in recent years, and there are two places that have been empty for his own use. He has to take his wife and son to see them tomorrow before he can decide which one to move in permanently.
For now, I can only make do in the hotel.
Next is registration, check-in, and get the key.
Feng Yijia didn't care about all this. She was led to the room in a daze. After washing up, she fell into bed and fell asleep.
As for the energetic Meng Yan, she doesn't have to worry about him since she has an equally energetic father.
The next day, when Feng Yijia woke up, it was almost noon.
From the small living room outside the bedroom, the sound of children playing could be heard.
She covered her sleepy head in confusion, got up, dressed, tidied her hair, opened the door and went out, only to see that Meng Sheng had brought Xiang Xuyang over without her knowing.
Now, the two children, one real and one fake, were lying on the ground with their heads touching, having a lot of fun playing with paper toads.
Hearing the noise, they all looked up at her, then lowered their heads and continued to play with the paper toad, screaming.
Feng Yijia was a little suspicious, wondering whether Xiang Xuyang's soul had returned to his body.
Otherwise, how could an adult soul be so enthusiastic about playing with children's things?
She walked over to Meng Sheng, who was lazily leaning on the sofa, and leaned over to whisper in his ear, "How did you bring him here?"
Meng Sheng pulled the person to sit beside him, but did not rush to answer. He stood up and went out to inform the waiter to send the food to the room. Then he turned around and whispered to Feng Yijia, "Grandma Xiang was hit so hard that she fell ill and was hospitalized. Grandpa Xiang went to the hospital to take care of her.
Xiang Mingyu went back to Huichuan to work. He didn't want to go to his grandparents' house, so he stayed at home alone.
Neighbors help take care of it.
Knowing you were thinking about him, I had nothing to do this morning so I just came to your house just to see him.
When you see this situation, just say that he is his uncle, as long as the child nods in agreement.
Leading people out is not a small matter."
After hearing this, Feng Yijia gave him a thumbs up, turned around, washed up, and prepared to eat.
After sleeping for so long, the symptoms of motion sickness have eased, but I am really hungry.
After washing my face, brushing my teeth and cleaning up, the dishes I had ordered in advance were brought in by the waiter.
Steamed spare ribs with rice flour, stuffed tofu, chestnut chicken soup, and a bowl of braised pork with preserved vegetables that goes well with rice.
These are all dishes that can be kept warm without affecting the taste much.
All of this was considered by Meng Sheng. He was serious, careful and thoughtful about how to serve his wife well.
The food was served, and the children stopped playing. They put away the paper toads and washed their hands before eating.
The atmosphere at the dinner table that followed was a bit strange.
Meng Yan was very friendly and enthusiastic towards this little friend he just met today. He called Xiang Xuyang "brother" all the time and was very attentive in picking up food for him.
Xiang Xuyang had probably gotten used to his current status, and he responded smoothly with "ahhhh". He ate the dishes picked by Meng Yan with such happiness that the corners of his mouth stretched to the back of his ears, and he didn't feel like he had been demoted.
Meng Sheng and Feng Yijia felt extremely strange when watching this scene.
However, it is conceivable that there will be many such scenes in the future, and this strange feeling will eventually become accustomed to.
Not long after the meal, Meng Sheng's cell phone rang.
When he picked up the phone and heard the familiar voice, he knew that there was something going on with Xiang Mingyu's matter.
He hushed Meng Yan, who was chattering to his brother, and heard Chen Nian say from the other end, "Brother Sheng, the matter you asked me to inquire about has come to fruition.
Xiang Mingyu did have some unclear relationship with a woman.
The woman's name was Zhou Guixiang, a village girl he met when he went to the countryside to work in the fields.
At that time, the two were dating in the countryside, and everyone in the village knew about it.
But after he was admitted to university, he lost contact with her.
Zhou Guixiang also got married soon. She was beautiful and, through a matchmaker, she married a station ticket seller in the county town who was ten years older than her.
The man's previous wife died of illness and left no children.
Zhou Guixiang gave birth to a daughter the year she got married, and a son a few years ago.
However, the relationship between the couple is not very good. I heard that quarrels and fights are common among them.
That is, the man died in the second year after Zhou Guixiang gave birth to her son.
It is said that he went to a friend's house on a winter night, drank too much, and fell asleep on the roadside on his way home and froze to death.
Her parents-in-law thought that their daughter-in-law had killed their son. After a quarrel, they lived in their other sons' homes and ignored the three of them, mother and son.
In recent years, Zhou Guixiang has been running a small business alone, working from dawn to dusk to support her daughter and son.
It has a good reputation among neighbors.”
Having said this, Chen Nian paused before continuing, "Xiang Mingyu graduated from university and returned to Huichuan to work, and he got in touch with Zhou Guixiang.
She introduced him to others as her distant cousin.
The two would meet from time to time.
In the past few days, Zhou Guixiang told her neighbors that she was planning to rent out the house she lived in, saying that it was too hard to live alone. Her parents had found a reliable man for her, and she planned to remarry with her child.
Xiang Mingyu also applied for unpaid leave from the factory and planned to leave Huichuan County.
These are nothing. The important thing is that I secretly followed them yesterday and found that Zhou Guixiang's two children look a bit like Xiang Mingyu. "
