Half a month later, Su Li brought Xie's father and mother, Li Ruiying and Su Changshun from Beijing to the provincial capital. Although the trip was tiring, Xie's father and others looked radiant and energetic.
Li Dan and Tie Dan helped with the luggage. The luggage cart was full of gifts, most of which were gifts that Su Li helped to buy.
While traveling, Xie's father and others did not forget their fellow villagers from their hometown. They bought some small things for them, thinking of giving them as gifts when they returned home.
Although the things are cheap, they are all bought in Beijing, so the meaning is different.
Xie Zhengchuan happened to have time today, so he drove over to pick someone up.
Su Li and Xie Zhengchuan hadn't seen each other for a long time. Although they often talked on the phone, this time it was longer. Xie Zhengchuan really missed his wife.
"Xiao Li, here!"
Su Li also hurried to greet them. There were too many people at the airport, and both parents and two sons were gone. They were too old to hug each other.
So when the two met, Xie Zhengchuan missed his wife, reached out and took her hand, and whispered in her ear:
"Wife, I miss you."
Su Li's cheeks flushed, and she nodded, "Yeah, me too. I'll tell my husband later that you can help the two sons put their luggage in the car! They've been very tired recently."
"Why are you so tired? This is just a small job. It won't tire them out. You get in the car first. Dad and mom, you should get in the car quickly too."
"Hey, hey, is Zhengchuan busy today?" Su Changshun said.
Xie Zhengchuan opened the car door and helped them get in. "Yes, Dad, we are not busy today. Su Lan is cooking at home. We can have dinner together."
"Hey, hey, my dear, my dear, my dear, I am quite tired after sitting on the plane for such a long time, hehe..." said Xie's father.
Li Dan and Tie Dan looked at Father Xie, who was shaking his head with some pride, and they were very happy to see him.
"Enough, enough, let's go home quickly!" Xie's mother couldn't stand his behavior. The old man had just made a trip to the capital, and his sense of superiority was overflowing. He couldn't stop being so proud.
Unable to resist the sleepiness during the drive, everyone started to sleep, but Su Li, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was reluctant to close his eyes and sleep.
While driving, Xie Zhengchuan held Su Li's hand with one hand and whispered, "Go to sleep if you are tired. I will call you when you get home."
Su Li glanced at her parents and son sitting in the back of the car through the rearview mirror, smiled at Xie Zhengchuan and said, "I miss you."
These words successfully pleased Xie Zhengchuan. He raised his hand that was holding Su Li's and gently kissed her fingertips.
"Go to sleep!"
Su Li lay on the backrest, held Xie Zhengchuan's hand, and then gently closed her eyes.
Xie Zhengchuan watched Su Li fall asleep before letting go of her hand.
When they were almost home, Xie Zhengchuan hadn't called yet, but everyone was already awake. He thought that maybe they had fallen asleep on the plane and didn't sleep for long.
Su Lan and Pang Wei were cooking at home. They heard the sound of cars outside and hurriedly went to the door wearing aprons.
"Here I come, here I come."
Tiedan and Lidan got out of the car.
"Cousin, brother-in-law, thank you for your hard work."
Pang Wei patted the two men on the shoulders and said, "Why is this so hard? It's not hard. Dinner will be served soon. Come in and rest for a while."
Su Lan supported Li Ruiying and Su Changshun from the other side and said, "Grandpa, grandma, are you having fun?"
"I'm happy, why wouldn't I be happy? Oh, don't underestimate that. Grandpa and grandma have visited a lot of places this time. Our Shangjing is indeed the capital. It's really beautiful. But it's clear that there is not even anyone throwing away garbage on the street. Oh, grandpa doesn't even feel like spitting on the ground."
"Hey, you better pay attention. You will be fined if you spit or litter on the street. You can't do that."
As Li Ruiying spoke, she looked back and forth, and she looked extremely adorable.
Su Li carried her handbag and said, "Mom and Dad, let's go home first! We can drink some water and take a rest before we eat. I can already smell the delicious food Xiaolan is cooking."
"Yes, yes, Xiaolan's cooking is delicious." said Xie's mother.
After entering the living room, Pang Wei poured water for everyone, while Li Dan, Tiedan and Xie Zhengchuan carried several large boxes and bags into the living room.
Li Ruiying looked at the luggage bag in Li Dan's hand and said, "Li Dan, let grandma take the bag in your hand."
After Li Dan took the bag, Li Ruiying unzipped the bag and said to Su Lan and Pang Wei, "Here are the gifts I brought for Pang Tong and Pan Pan. Look, this is a small airplane for Pang Tong, and this is a small doll for Pan Pan. Can you see it?"
Pang Wei and Su Lan saw that Li Ruiying looked happy, and they were also happy because she seemed to be asking for praise.
"Look, you have good taste. Pang Tong will definitely like the little airplane. The little doll is even wearing a little skirt. Grandma, I thank you on behalf of Pan Pan and Pang Tong. But you came all the way here to play, why did you think of bringing gifts for the children? You don't have to spend that money."
"I'm happy. Why shouldn't I be reluctant to spend money on my great-grandson?" Li Ruiying said as if it was a matter of course and even a little bit of a temper.
Pang Wei and Su Lan smiled at each other, "As long as you are happy."
After talking for a while, Su Lan and Pang Wei went back to the kitchen, served the stewed soup and vegetables, and shouted to the living room, "It's time to eat."
Li Dan and Tie Dan also washed their hands and went to the kitchen to help bring out the food.
I didn't steam the rice, but heated up a basket of steamed buns, two vegetarian dishes, two meat dishes, a chicken soup, and a dish of cabbage, pork and tofu stew. The soup was golden, spicy and sour, and very appetizing.
While eating, Xie's father and mother kept praising Su Lan for her ability and the delicious food she cooked, and they didn't stop until Su Lan was almost annoyed.
Pang Wei saw that the elderly people did not feel tired at all and were even a little excited, so he asked them where they had played in Beijing.
This question was not a big deal, it was exactly what the few people wanted, so they started talking incessantly.
Su Changshun drank a bowl of chicken soup and said, "The roast duck we had was really delicious. The chef sliced the meat for us personally. It was thin and crispy. It was so juicy and delicious when you took a bite."
Su Lan watched her grandfather reminiscing about the food in Shangjing and couldn't help asking, "Grandpa, do you think the food in the restaurant in Shangjing is better, or the food in my second uncle's restaurant?"
Su Changshun glared, "How can your second uncle's shop be compared with others? Theirs has been passed down for a hundred years, and your second uncle has only been around for a few years. But if you really want to compare, you have to be careful about the management, and don't be short of weight, you have to be authentic!"
"Yes, you are right. I didn't realize that Grandpa has learned so much during this trip."
Su Changshun couldn't help but smile when he heard his granddaughter's words and said, "That's right, your grandfather is always learning from his elders."
Li Ruiying put a piece of food into Su Changshun's bowl with chopsticks, "Yes, yes, you are the best. Come and eat! Let's go back to the house and rest for a while. We have to go back to the village tomorrow."
Su Li also said: "Yes, Dad, when we get back to the village, you can still brag to your old friend."
