"Xiaxia, where are we going today?" Chen's mother asked expectantly.
Su Xia wasn't sure; the current time was 5 minutes to 9.
It's impossible to see the Korean flag at this time, but other flags are still fine.
"Why not go to the Forbidden City?"
"We need to bring the national flag in advance. Let's see if we can find a time tomorrow or the day after, and then the whole family can go together!"
Chen's mother was overjoyed, almost dancing with delight, and quickly agreed, "Okay, okay... I'll do whatever you say!"
Just as I was leaving, I remembered something. "Um, when I came out, my second brother told me that he'd already written to her!"
Su Xia nodded. "They have an address, don't worry!"
"Hey...why worry about them? I have your father, and several kids too, enough to keep you busy. Don't worry about them!" Chen's mother waved her hand.
Su Xia smiled. She thought it best to get something done; since she was here, why not take a picture?
Finally, they went to find KJ Li, who thought it was something serious. "That's easy," KJ Li said. "An old friend of the former chief has a solution. He just needs to prepare the film himself."
Su Xia nodded, "Isn't that very troublesome?"
Li waved his hand, "No trouble at all, the old chief would be more than happy to!"
Watching Li go and whisper with Old Man Yi for a while, the old man came out shortly after, and it was clear he was on the phone.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the family began preparing to go out. Mr. and Mrs. Chen wore what they considered to be their most presentable clothes.
Niu Niu dressed herself up, then went to dress up as her younger brother and sister, and Ge Bao and Er Bao were dressed up.
Su Xia changed into a dress, wearing a shirt on top, a skirt on the bottom, and leather shoes.
Her hair was simply tied up in a bun, simple yet pretty. As for her face, she simply applied moisturizer, sunscreen, drew her eyebrows, and added a touch of light lipstick.
When Old Man Yi returned, he had changed his clothes, but he was still wearing a Zhongshan suit.
"Li Yi will be here soon, let's wait a bit longer!"
Upon hearing this, Su Xia immediately guessed that he was going to get his camera. "Uncle, thank you so much!"
"No need to thank me, I'm actually happy that you're here!" Old Man Yi's words were not untrue.
"Oh, by the way, I have a friend who loves to draw. I'll take my second child to see her sometime!"
Upon hearing this, Su Xia looked at Erbao, who nodded in delight, "Mom, I want to go!"
"Then you have to listen to your grandfather!"
"I'll definitely listen!" Erbao nodded frantically.
Su Xia shook her head. As soon as she heard about drawing, she didn't straighten her head. But it's okay if she likes drawing.
"Mother, shouldn't we tell Madam?" Niu Niu reminded her.
Su Xia patted her forehead. "We'll talk about it later. I forgot about it if you didn't tell me!"
"I need to buy two more sets of clothes, otherwise I won't have any to change into!"
Upon hearing this, Niu Niu asked expectantly, "Mommy, can I go with you?"
"Okay, I'll take you there then!"
When the family arrived at the Forbidden City in the car driven by the younger brother, everyone was awestruck by the architecture before them, except for Su Xia.
Because she had seen a better future, she led her family into it.
Nanluoguxiang, Shichahai, Jingshan Park...
Su Xia was so tired that she didn't want to walk anymore, but Mr. and Mrs. Chen and Old Man Yi all looked like they could still walk.
Su Xia.....
Seeing that everyone was exhausted, Su Xia reassured Mr. and Mrs. Chen, "We're staying for quite a few days this time, no rush!"
The two elderly people reluctantly went home. On the way, Su Xiashi didn't want to cook, so she went to a state-run restaurant and bought a bag of rice. She planned to cook porridge and stir-fry two dishes when she got home.
When they got home, the twins were carried off the bus. "Mom, I want to lie down for a while. Call me when it's time to eat!" the second baby said wearily.
Su Xia nodded, "Take a shower first, preferably soak your feet, understand?"
Erbao's eyelids started to droop, and Gebao immediately picked up her younger brother and said, "Mom, I'm here!"
Su Xia nodded, and Niu Niu carried one in each arm, first putting the two babies into the bedroom. Su Xia noticed that Niu Niu was tired.
After telling her to rest, she went to see Mr. and Mrs. Chen. Goodness, she didn't mind being tired while shopping, but now Mr. Chen was already lying down, and Bao Bao had even helped him take off his shoes.
Old Man Yi over there went back to his courtyard to rest; he must have been exhausted this time.
Su Xia checked the time; it was 4 PM. She ate noodles again for lunch.
Although I was tired, I couldn't sleep, so I boiled water to take a bath and soak my feet to shake off the fatigue.
Su Xia prepared to cook dinner, rinsing and washing the rice. As for the steamed buns, she would save them for breakfast tomorrow.
After the rice was put into the pot, Su Xia started preparing the dishes: twice-cooked pork, yesterday's fish stew, and two pieces of tofu.
Next, I'll have scrambled eggs with tomatoes and a plate of stir-fried greens. There's a vegetable market not far from here, and Su Xia decided to go shopping there tomorrow.
"Hey... Brother Chen, I won't be going tomorrow. My old bones are too tired!"
During dinner, Old Man Yi decided not to go shopping together.
"Brother, if you don't say anything, I'll say something. You should just stay home and rest. We've discussed it, and we'll go out for a stroll every other day, maybe visit Tiananmen Square and the Great Wall again, but we won't go anywhere else!"
"Yes, I didn't feel tired at the beginning of the day, but I couldn't keep up after I got back. My calves are still trembling now."
Su Xia didn't speak and ate quietly. She didn't want to waste time sightseeing. She wanted to take this opportunity to exchange the things in her space for something of value.
The children were listless, but the twins were full of energy. Unfortunately, they didn't want to walk, so Li Bao carried them on his back.
So, you're saying I'm tired... I haven't even been walking, so how can I be tired?
While Su Xia's family was eating, 꺶丫껩놇 was tidying up her things, all of which she had bought that day—food, household items, and even the children's toys.
"Brother Jin, do you think Auntie and the others will be going out tomorrow?"
Zhou Congjin shook her head, "I don't know, but I'm going out today, and even if I go out tomorrow, it'll be next day!"
"What do you mean?" 꺶丫 asked, puzzled.
"Honey, think about it, Beijing is such a big city. Grandpa and Grandma have come all this way, and what they most want to see is Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City..."
"They arrived yesterday and rested for one night. They definitely won't be able to go to Tiananmen Square, so they'll just go to the Forbidden City and the surrounding area. Do you think they're tired?"
After hearing this, Ya suddenly understood, and then laughed, "Brother Jin, you're so smart!"
Zhou Congjin touched his nose; this was based on experience.
After dinner, Su Xia instructed Bao to boil water for the two elderly people to bathe and soak their feet.
Then he took out some medicated oil from his storage space, which is said to promote blood circulation.
Give Erbao a shout: "Go give it to Uncle Li!"
Erbao picked it up and went next door, but his walking posture was a little...unconventional.
Su Xia....
You can't laugh, it's your own child!
Su Xia first gave the twins a massage to soothe them, "Haha...Mommy's so itchy!"
"Mom, what is this? It doesn't taste good!"
"You have to endure this, it's for your own good!"
When Li received the gift from Su Xia, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly gave the old chief a massage after he had soaked his feet.
Gradually, Old Man Yi began to feel that his calves were no longer swollen.
Su Xia massaged Niu Niu, then Er Bao, while Chen's parents massaged Er Bao.
The two old folks enjoyed the massage from their grandson and felt that this trip was the best decision they had ever made.
"Mom, let me do it for you!" After everything was arranged, Niu Niu took the things and wanted to help her mother who had worked hard all day.
Su Xia nodded, and after enjoying the massage service, the family went to bed early.
As for what I said when I went out today about buying a change of clothes...
I also called Grandma Dou...
Sorry, Su Xia, who was fast asleep, had long forgotten about it.
Even Chen Jianguo hadn't remembered to call. Chen Jianguo, worried all day and unable to sleep...
Waaah.....
