Chapter 37: Yecheng

This year is different from usual.
Tang Jinyu's family doesn't have to go to grandma's house on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Father Chen is very interested in the mine in Yunnan Province. He just came back a few days ago and can't wait to go there again by himself.
Where did the old Mrs. Chen allow him to suffer outside alone? She and her husband were couples who had struggled together when they were young. The old man insisted on going, but she didn't enjoy the good fortune at home, so she packed up and went to live in the mountains together.
The two old men of the Chen family were not there, and Chen Wenqian didn't wait much after he went back, so he followed to the south without stopping.
The other juniors of the Chen family have been notified that they will not be used for their own party this year.
Chen Suling and her eldest sister Chen Qiuguo didn't go home. The sisters were not relieved. They called and asked several times. Old Mrs. Chen said yes to let them rest at home. Grandma Chen also exhorted her little daughter to get along well with her son-in-law and take good care of the child.
"We can't treat Xiao Tang just because our family is rich now. You are busy at work and he is also busy. Two people are considerate of each other, do you know?" Old Mrs. Chen said on the phone, "At the time Xiao Tang chased you. At that time, I went to the construction site and saw your dad. He thought that your dad was moving bricks there. Without saying anything (take off tuo), he carried the cement and the heavy sacks for a whole morning, and his shoulders were all red. Dad asked him to rest, sitting there and saying that your dad has worked hard... Such a good son-in-law, who can't find anywhere to look for a lantern, you must be kind to Xiao Tang!"
"What did my second brother say when he went back?"
"Say you pinch Xiao Tang's ears!"
Chen Suling did not hold back her smile. Old lady Chen was still teaching the girl over the phone, telling her not to make her little (sexual xing) child at home, "They are all moms, even if they don’t give Xiao Tang face, You can't pinch Xiaoyu's ears even with his face! How can you make Xiao Tang stand up in front of the child?"
Chen Suling groaned: "Oh, mom, Xiaoyu doesn't understand when he is still young."
Mrs. Chen became even more angry: "Nonsense, why don't I understand Baobao! When we came back, we also told the story of the crow drinking water!"
Chen Suling quickly admitted her mistake, took her son over and asked him to shout "Grandma's New Year's Day" a few times. The child's voice was soft and sweet, and she made the old lady laugh again soon.
Before returning to her family's house, Chen Suling was thinking about visiting Elder Tang. Tang Hongjun had just a few days off her annual vacation, which should not be wasted.
This is the age when the next song takes 20 minutes, and the transmission of photos across the Internet is very slow. During the Chinese New Year, the human touch is the strongest. Everyone thinks that you always have to visit relatives and friends in a lively and lively New Year. It is best to let off firecrackers. The streets were covered with red and colorful colors, and the children ran around playing cannonballs and making noise.
This is the case in Tongzilou every year. The cannons and cannons sold in the cannon store are the most popular during this period. Basically all boys have a few boxes in their pockets. The younger boys and girls prefer fairy sticks. , I can’t wait to light one in the yard downstairs as soon as the sky (color) is dark, and swing the fairy stick around the enclosure to watch it hissing out nice little fireworks.
On the twenty-nine year of the year, Teacher Xia prepared a table of meals and had a New Year’s Eve dinner with Xia Ye ahead of time.
He felt a little guilty, because the city symphony orchestra took the performance and was going to Yecheng to hold a New Year's concert. The time was just in time for the New Year. The plane will not return until the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.
For a week, let alone the New Year, he can't even give his son to accompany him during the annual vacation.
Xia Ye didn't feel much. He didn't have any special sense of ceremony for these festivals. During the winter vacation, he only felt that he could use the computer for a long time. The time was long and no one would bother and it was easier to be efficient.
When Mr. Xia insisted on cleaning the bowls for dinner, Xia Ye had an epiphany and said with a smile: "Dad, you really don't need to feel that you owe me anything. Don't you just go for one week? Our school has a two-week vacation. You can cook me a week’s meal when you come back. I love to eat your roasted ribs. Our school canteen is tasteless at all, far worse than yours."
Teacher Xia quickly agreed, and sighed again: "Dad will spend a lot of business trips after this job, so I might have wronged you."
Xia Ye said while cleaning the dishes: "No, I can go next door when I have no food."
Teacher Xia was stunned, and carefully examined his son's expression. He was naturally a little surprised when he saw him: "Ono, would you like to eat next door?"
Xia Ye said: "Yes, my uncle's cooking is very delicious. I ate a whole plate of the roasted edamame I made last time with Xiaoyu."
"Then you also..."
Xia Ye was a little confused, and looked up at him: "Can't you go for the New Year? Yesterday my aunt also came over and asked me to eat next door tomorrow."
Teacher Xia blinked and nodded with a smile: "Yes, of course!"
Xia Ye lowered his head again and went to wash the bowls again, "Dad, according to the weather forecast today, it is 30 degrees over there. The island is different. Remember to bring some short-sleeved clothes, but don’t forget to take the down jacket. cold."
Teacher Xia wanted to say something but didn't know what to say. He just felt completely relieved in his heart. He knows Xia Ye better than anyone else. His son is good at everything, but it is difficult to get close to others, but once he has entrusted his affection, he is the person who loves most.
Xia Ye only trusted him in the past, but now it is fine. Besides him, Xia Ye has so many family members whom he can trust.
Teacher Xia relaxed his mind and went to the airport with his suitcase the next morning.
At noon on New Year’s Eve, Xia Ye was called by Chen Suling to have a meal. He thought that at most he would go to the next door to have a meal. He didn’t expect to see a row of suitcases listed there from big to small when he entered the living room. ) It looks pretty, pink and blue, it looks like a matching set.
Chen Suling asked, "Ono, which one of these is better?"
Xia Ye pointed a finger randomly and said, "The blue (color) is good, aunt, is your company going out of the suitcase?"
Chen Suling smiled and said, "No, I cooperated with other factories and sent a few of them." She pushed the blue (color) suitcase over and matched it with Xia Ye, and praised, "It looks pretty, just now Xiaoyu also said this is best for you, come, take it!"
Xia Ye declined, "No, auntie, I won't go out."
Tang Hongjun came back from stepping on the snow with the child in his arms. He just heard this sentence and said with a smile: "Come out, let's pack up after dinner and set off."
Xia Ye was stunned, "Uncle, where are we going?"
Tang Hongjun gave the child (takes off his tuo) shoes, told him to change his slippers and go in first, shaking his snow-stained boots, and dancing with his brows: "Go to see your dad, when I heard your dad say that day I have always thought that in such a good place as Yecheng, you can’t let your dad enjoy the blessing there alone, let’s go! I also booked tickets for Xiaoyu’s grandfather. For the evening flight, I will arrive at Yecheng at night! I didn’t deliberately follow you. Dad said, make a surprise attack, ha ha!"
Xia Ye didn't expect it at all. After asking a few questions during the meal, he realized that Tang Hongjun's decision was also made temporarily.
"If it wasn't for the New Year's ticket to be difficult to buy, let's go out with your dad in the morning today." Tang Hongjun was still a pity. He tore a chicken leg for the two children and advised them to eat more. "Xiao Ye, eat first. Your aunt has already prepared all the clothes and everything. You can go home soon and get some things for daily use. You don't need to bring the rest."
The adults in the family had already made a decision, and Xia Ye agreed.
Chen Suling carefully prepared things for the family to travel. Xia Ye and Tang Jinyu had basically the same things, except for the size difference. Even the kettles were of the same style.
Tang Jinyu’s pink-blue (color) small water bottle has a cartoon design on it, and Xia Ye’s one is dark blue (color) with a string of letters printed on it. It is the most popular sports style nowadays.
Tang Jinyu didn't have a suitcase, only carrying a small backpack of the same style as Xia Ye, sitting on Tang Hongjun's white (color) suitcase holding the trolley in both hands, and set off for the airport like a mobile "car".
Something went wrong during the trip and Xia Ye became airsick.
Chen Suling bought first-class cabin, but the space is also limited. She can only ring the bell for the stewardess to bring a few pills for him to take. After a while, she saw Xia Ye's face (color) improve. She blamed herself a little, "Blam me, and didn't expect you to be airsick. You should prepare some peppermint oil."
Xia Ye shook his head lightly, "Auntie, I'm fine, I used to be like this, (sleeping Shui) will be fine for a while."
Chen Suling didn't bother him anymore and let him rest.
The four-hour journey was a bit boring. Chen Suling and Tang Hongjun got up busy early in the morning. They were tired at the moment, and soon (sleeping Shui) too.
When Chen Suling woke up from light sleep halfway through the journey, her first reaction was that the child next to her had disappeared. She was startled, she unfastened the seat belt on her waist and looked around to find the child, with some fingers. He didn't obey, shivering slightly, but soon saw the familiar little figure in the next row-Tang Jinyu went to the opposite seat, was sitting on Xia Ye's lap, and was hugged by his brother to look outside.
Chen Suling raised and lowered her heart, she felt a cold sweat on her body. She glanced at Tang Hongjun in the corridor. Her husband still (sleeping Shui) had no idea about the personnel, and she didn't even know that the child came over by herself. She couldn't help but shoot After shaking her husband's arm, Tang Hongjun woke up in shock, and said before opening his eyes: "Yes, that value can't be used, then recalculate..."
Chen Suling was so angry that she couldn't laugh or cry, and whispered to him: "Wake up, you see where this is."
Tang Hongjun came to his senses, and after watching it for a while, he realized it. He had a good temper and smiled: "It turned out to be a dream, which scared me. Why did you wake up? It's still early, so I will (sleep in Shui) again."
Chen Suling shook her head and asked him to change positions with herself.
In order to take care of the children when they boarded the plane, she took Tang Jinyu in a row, and her husband took Xia Ye in a row of seats by the corridor.
Tang Hongjun discovered that his younger son was coming when he unfastened his seat belt. He was softly yelled "Dad" by the little guy. Tang Gong's heart was sweetened. He kissed his wife several times before changing positions.
Chen Suling sat down and asked, "Xiaoyu, why didn't you call mother when you changed positions?"
"Mom is tired. I want to rest." The child raised his head and said, then earnestly promised: "I am by my father and brother, and I will not go anywhere."
Chen Suling felt soft, (touching Mo) (touching Mo) with his soft hair and whispered softly: "I will wake up mother next time, you know?"
"Hey!"
"And my brother (shen) is unwell, don't disturb my brother..."
Xia Ye guarded and said, "Auntie, I'm fine, Xiaoyu is here to give me mints."
Chen Suling saw the child holding a box of mints and curiously asked, "Where did the sugar come from?"
"Big sister!" Tang Jinyu showed to his mother, not only the box of mints in his hand, but also several pieces of chewing gum, colorful (color) paper fruit candy, and even a packet of popping candy in his pocket. After the child showed it, he said seriously: "No other things, brother only eats mints."
Xia Ye helped to explain, saying that it was given by the stewardess, and Chen Suling was shocked.
Xia Ye relaxed his seat belt, bound the child in his arms, and hugged him to look out the window. He didn't know whether it was the effect of airsickness medicine or mint, he was better now, listening to the child, his mood slowly relaxed.
"Mom, you can see clouds here at night!"
"what colour?"
"Dark blue and light blue!" The child tilted his head and thought for a while, with his eyes bent into crescents with a smile, and said happily: "It's like a kettle for my brother and me!"
Tang Hongjun sat on the opposite side by himself. After a long time, he finally woke up completely. He cautiously called his wife, "Su Ling, why did Xiao Yu go there?"
The corners of Chen Suling's mouth trembled and she ignored him.
Gong Tang was very confused: "When did he pass by?"
