Chapter 251 Warriors
I set out from my hometown at around eight in the morning, had lunch at the service area, and still had half the distance to go.
Wang Shan took a nap in the back seat, got up, drank some water, and started chatting with her parents.
"Dad, how long will it take us to get to Pengcheng?"
Wang Xiuren stared ahead, "There are still about four hours left."
"Why does it take so long?" Wang Shan felt her butt was numb from sitting.
Lin Qiu sat in the passenger seat and looked back at her with a smile: "Is it difficult to sit?"
Wang Shan nodded.
“When the high-speed rail opens in two years, it will only take two or three hours to go back and forth.” Lin Qiu also twisted his stiff body.
"High-speed rail? How did you know?" Wang Xiuren glanced quickly at his wife.
"It was reported in the news, and also when we went to Shouyue that day, weren't the people there talking about building a high-speed railway station?" Lin Qiu answered slowly.
"Well, you are really careful! I usually forget this kind of news after hearing it." Wang Xiuren looked at the sign on the highway, "There is a service area ahead, do you want to go in and use the restroom?"
"Stop for a while and move around a bit." Lin Qiu thought for a moment, "I'll drive the rest of the way."
Wang Xiuren had been driving for nearly six hours straight and felt a little tired, so he readily agreed.
After a short rest at the service area, Lin Qiu was responsible for the remaining two hours of the journey.
The highway was not congested at all at this time, and Lin Qiu drove smoothly all the way to Pengcheng.
I returned to Taoyuanju and opened the door. Although I had only been away for half a month, the house was filled with a faint smell of dust.
"Someone still has to live in the house. It's been only a few days since I went out, and there's already a layer of dust." Lin Qiu quickly opened the window to ventilate.
"Yes, the house in our hometown has been unpopulated for many years, so it ages very quickly." Wang Xiuren also went over to help.
Lin Qiu looked at the dust on his hands, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I was thinking of coming back to rest for a while and then going out for dinner, but now it seems that I can only clean up first!"
"Why not just hire two part-time workers?" Wang Xiuren suggested.
Although he and his wife took turns driving, he was indeed a little tired after keeping his mind tense for a long time after a few hours, and he didn't want his wife to be as hard-working.
Moreover, the house is not small, and keeping this nearly 170 square meters clean is indeed not a small project.
Lin Qiu thought about it and nodded in agreement.
I found the business card of the hourly worker from the drawer under the coffee table, called the worker and informed him of my needs.
The pile of business cards in the drawer were all stuffed at the door. Lin Ting picked up some serious and useful ones and put them in the drawer in case of emergency.
In less than half an hour, there was a knock on the door.
The door opened and two middle-aged women who looked simple and honest came in.
The two sides checked the information and confirmed that it was correct, then the two women rolled up their sleeves and started working.
Their quick movements and tacit cooperation make it clear at a glance that they are professionals in cleaning.
In less than two hours, the house, which was originally covered with a layer of dust, was cleaned and bright, and even the chandeliers were polished to a shine.
Lin Qiu paid the bill promptly and gave them some water when he sent them out.
After closing the door, she collapsed comfortably on the sofa: "I have also experienced the life of a wealthy landlord in the past."
In his past and present life, this was the first time that Lin Qiu paid someone to clean the house.
To be honest, it tastes pretty good.
"Why don't you just hire a part-time cleaner to do the housework?" Wang Xiuren sat down next to her. "It won't cost much anyway, and it will save you a lot of trouble!"
"Do you really think you are a rich landlord?" Lin Qiu glanced at him.
"Isn't this just to lighten your burden?" Wang Xiuren rubbed her shoulders.
"It's usually okay, not too tiring." Lin Qiu closed her eyes and enjoyed her husband's service. "If it's a big cleaning, we'll see."
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say." Wang Xiuren continued pressing.
Perhaps it was because the seven or eight hours’ drive was too tiring, or perhaps it was because Wang Xiuren’s massage was too comfortable, Lin Qiu fell asleep quickly.
Wang Xiuren covered her with a thin blanket, turned up the air conditioner temperature a little, and leaned against her closed eyes.
When the setting sun shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows on the balcony, Wang Shan woke up and saw her parents sleeping comfortably on the sofa. Suddenly, a word emerged in her mind: The years are peaceful.
She walked quietly and quickly to the study, took out her camera, found an angle, pressed the shutter, and recorded this happy scene.
"Crack"
When the shutter sounded, Wang Xiuren slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing that it was his daughter, he closed his eyelids again. After a while, he rubbed his eyes and sat up: "Shanshan, what are you doing?"
"Dad, look, that picture of you and mom sleeping together in the sun is so beautiful!" Wang Shan walked to her father with a camera and shared the picture with him.
Wang Xiuren stared at the small screen of the camera and praised: "This is a great photo! You must save it for me as a souvenir."
"What are you two, father and daughter, chattering about?" Lin Qiu also sat up, hugging the thin blanket.
"Look, Shanshan took the picture for us. Isn't it beautiful?" Wang Xiuren took the camera and showed it to his wife.
"Well, let me see." Lin Qiu stared at it for a long time, "It looks good, my Shanshan took a really good picture!"
"The scene of you two sleeping just now was so beautiful that it would look good no matter who took the picture!" Wang Shan took the camera from her mother and reiterated while looking at the screen.
Lin Qiu and Wang Xiuren smiled at each other.
Everything is implied.
"Let's go, let's have dinner after we have rested!" Wang Xiuren stood up and stretched.
He turned back and pulled his wife up, "What do you want to eat?"
Lin Qiu looked at his daughter who was still fiddling with the camera, "What would Shanshan like to eat?"
"Eat something light." Wang Shan stood up and put the camera back into the study.
I have been back to my hometown for more than half a month, and almost every meal has been heavy, even some vegetables are fried with chili peppers.
"Then let's go to a Cantonese restaurant!" Lin Qiu also wanted to eat something light.
"Okay, shall we go to Niu Lao or Xian Ji Roast Goose King?" Wang Xiu Ren asked.
"Shanshan, your father asked whether we should go to Niu Lao to drink beef bone soup or go to Xian Ji to eat roast goose?" Lin Qiu raised his voice towards the study.
"Beef bone soup!" Wang Shan walked out quickly.
"Set off!"
Wang Xiuren changed his shoes first and waited at the door.
The family of three feasted at Niu Lao. Although they were sweating from drinking the beef bone soup in such a hot day, they still felt quite comfortable.
After eating, the three of them walked on the street to digest the food.
Although he said he was digesting the food, his mouth didn't stop.
When he came across a milk tea seller, Wang Xiuren bought two cups of milk tea for his wife and daughter.
He didn't like this sweet drink, so he went across the street to buy a cup of herbal tea.
Watching her father gulping down the herbal tea, Wang Shan couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, "Dad, you are such a warrior!"
oh?
Wang Xiuren turned his head to look at her.
"My classmates said that a true warrior dares to face sudden tests, dares to look squarely at dismal grades, and dares to drink a cup of herbal tea in big gulps." Wang Shan talked about jokes in the class.
"So, Dad, you're a warrior!"
