Arriving at the breakfast shop, they ordered soy milk and fried dough sticks for two people, and the old man and the young man started chatting.
"Grandpa, I'm leaving with the children today. Let's take advantage of the summer vacation and visit as many places as possible."
Chu Ying drank a spoonful of soy milk.
"It's good to go out and explore! Life is too short or too long, so we should always see more scenery and experience different things."
"Don't end up like Grandpa, who devoted himself to one thing and ended up not taking good care of his wife. I hope she won't blame me for my good intentions."
Yanluo comforted her, saying, "I believe she will understand you."
Chu Ying simply continued eating and did not respond to Yan Luo's words.
After a while, the old man spoke again.
"Last night, I dreamt of your grandfather and Brother Nian. I think my time is coming soon too."
Yan Luo stopped what she was doing.
"Don't talk nonsense, you are sure to live to be a hundred years old."
Chu Ying shook his head with a chuckle.
"That's enough, that's enough. I want to end this life."
"Being able to watch you three brothers grow up is a wish that has been fulfilled."
"It's a pity I won't live to see you all get married."
"That kid Chu Hang doesn't even have a girlfriend. When I was his age, his dad was already out running errands."
Yanluo wanted to say something, but her heart was heavy, and she ultimately didn't say anything.
"Don't be sad. Grandpa is very content. There's nothing sad about him in his life. I'm very happy."
"I just miss my wife and your grandfather so much."
After finishing breakfast, the father and son each carried a bag of soy milk and fried dough sticks and slowly walked home.
After bringing soy milk and fried dough sticks to several places, Yanluo also brought breakfast home.
Thinking that it was still early, Yanluo told everyone to sleep a little longer.
During holidays, you should sleep more.
Tu Yier, who had gone to bed early, jumped out of bed, opened the door, ran to Yan Luo, and threw herself into her uncle's arms.
"uncle!"
Yanluo caught Tu Yier with a smile.
"Good baby!"
"Uncle will take you to wash up!"
Tu Yier nodded.
"OK!"
Tu Yier no longer needs to wear diapers; she can use the toilet by herself now. However, she still needs to wear them at night because she sleeps very deeply.
It's not used in daily life.
After washing up with my uncle and leaving the bathroom, my two older sisters also got up.
After exchanging greetings, the two sleepy-eyed sisters took turns going to the toilet and squeezed together to wash up.
The two aunts woke up one after the other.
After the family finished breakfast, they prepared to pack their bags and set off.
Before setting off, Grandpa Chu, his aunt and uncle, and the trio all came to see him off.
Xuan Yuanqiongxia held the hands of Su Qing and Chi Miaomiao and quietly gave them some instructions.
"The recipe packet that your aunt gave you is really useful."
"If the child can't handle it, then you can let him use it."
Su Qing and Chi Miaomiao nodded sweetly, like two newlywed brides.
Chu Ying took three red envelopes and handed them to the three little ones one by one.
Tu Luoxue quickly refused.
"Grandpa, no need, we're not children anymore, we can't accept this."
Chu Ying shook his head and smiled, "In Grandpa's eyes, you are all children. Please accept this as a small token of Grandpa's appreciation."
Tu Luoxue looked to Yan Luo for help.
Yanluo gestured for her to accept it.
There are fewer and fewer things that elderly people can do; giving them money is the only thing they can do.
They don't understand young people's things, so they can only do their best to give their children what they think is the best.
Zhang Shuimu stuffed a card into Yanluo's hand.
“The money in here was deposited into your account by the research institute where your parents worked over the years. You and Xiao Li ran away one after another back then, and your aunt and I didn’t have a chance to hand it over to you.”
"You must take good care of yourself and the children."
Yanluo smiled and accepted the card.
"Understood, Uncle."
After saying goodbye to everyone, Yanluo drove off with her family.
Today we're going to visit Yi'an Ancient City, a scenic spot in Fengcheng, Yi'an. It's an ancient city with a long history, and we'll take the children there before leaving Yi'an.
Fengcheng, also known as Yi'an County, is an ancient city that serves as a tourist attraction and is called Yi'an Ancient City.
Yi'an Ancient City is one of the first two cities in Guangdong Province to be awarded the title of "National Historical and Cultural City" and is an excellent tourist city of the Longxia Kingdom.
It boasts over 700 cultural relics and historical sites, including 5 national key cultural relics protection units. Among them are ancient sites such as Kangji Bridge, one of the four ancient bridges of Longxia, making it a rare and precious cultural heritage of the country.
We set off around 8 or 9 a.m. and traveled for about two hours, covering more than 80 kilometers.
The family arrived at Yi'an Ancient City around 11 a.m.
They found a parking space and parked. Tu Luoxue and Tu Keke led their younger sister in front, while Yan Luo led the two girls behind.
The family became a new sight on the streets of this ancient city.
It's so pleasing to the eye.
It's undeniable that people are attracted to good looks; when they see someone with such striking appearance walking down the street, they'll all stop and take a look.
Walking along Paifang Street, the archways attract everyone's attention, allowing them to feel the ancient historical atmosphere.
What attracted Tu Keke the most was the snacks along the way.
Their little mouths never stopped, and everyone ate their fill of snacks.
No need for lunch.
Yanluo decided to stay in the ancient city for one night and return to Guangzhou the next day.
I booked two guesthouse rooms while strolling along Paifang Street.
It's really hot.
From noon until 5 p.m.
Everyone spent the time in their rooms.
It was past five o'clock, and although the sunlight was still strong, it was already tolerable.
We brought snacks and drinks and found a well-reviewed beef hot pot restaurant to have dinner first.
It was already seven o'clock when I left the hot pot restaurant, and the sky was starting to darken.
The Paifang Street was illuminated with dazzling lights.
The girls were all amazed by the beauty of the ancient street and took out their phones to snap a series of photos.
Yanluo acted as a prop, taking photos of them.
Fortunately, the photos turned out well, otherwise I would have gotten scolded again.
After strolling through Paifang Street, we arrived at Kangji Tower. The soft yellow lights illuminated the ancient tower, making it even more magnificent than during the day.
Climbing the city wall, one can enjoy a panoramic view, but due to the trees blocking the view, only a portion of the Kangji Bridge is visible.
Unfortunately, we couldn't go up to the top of the building; otherwise, we could have seen the entire Kangji Bridge.
As dusk settled, the girls found a great angle and took beautiful photos with Kangji Building as the backdrop.
After taking photos on the city wall, they excitedly ran to the city gate to take more photos with the city wall and gate tower as the background.
I originally wanted to wait for the light show on Kangji Bridge.
However, I learned from passersby that tonight's light show had been canceled.
The group had no choice but to return to the city.
Walking down the street, Su Qing and Chi Miaomiao were carrying Tu Yier and picking out local specialties to take back to Guangzhou.
Tu Keke dragged her uncle and sister to buy snacks, planning to bring them back to the guesthouse to eat.
It was past 10 p.m., and everyone was lying in bed after taking a shower and enjoying some snacks.
Seeing that Tu Yier was starting to feel sleepy, after a series of actions, the whole family went to sleep early.
P.S.: The last time I went to Chaozhou was two years ago. At that time, I only visited Paifang Street and Guangji Tower. My family and I were waiting for the light show by the river when we were told by passersby that it had been canceled.
