Chapter 123 Trip to River City
Chapter 123 Trip to Jiangcheng
After 4 hours of wandering along the way, the group arrived at the land of Jiangcheng.
A bustling city like this is a strange and novel place for Lin Youxi. Along the way, she kept lying by the window to watch the city scenery.
Xia Yuan saw this and patted Lin Youxi's shoulder gently, "Is this your first time in Jiangcheng, Youxi?"
Lin Youxi nodded, "This is the first time."
After all, because her father was very busy with work, he only took her to visit Xunyang City in the neighboring province a few times on weekdays.
Her yearning and uneasiness can be deeply felt in her words.
Xia Yuan leaned towards Lin Youxi and whispered to her for a while. Although she didn't know what they discussed, it ended with Lin Youxi nodding.
Xia Xun booked three double rooms next to each other at an express hotel near the No. 1 Middle School of Jiangcheng Normal University, one room for one family.
Mei Lijun put on his car and went to the room with Mei Fang. After putting down his luggage, he started to complain, "I knew I would have come directly in the old Xia car. His SUV is a seven-seater, and it can obviously fit in, but there are no seats in the back."
Put it on, right?”
"Then this gives you a chance to watch, right dad?"
"Well...it's not so tiring if the two of them take turns driving!"
"If you like this car so much, apply for your mother to buy one for you in the future."
"Ahem, cough...what are you thinking? Our Dazhong was recently replaced, and we don't have money to buy a luxury car."
"Dad, if you can't afford it, that's the best!"
Mei Lijun has been in the unit for many years, and his emotional intelligence must be very good. He naturally knew what Mei Fang was referring to, and he immediately knocked Mei Fang on the head with a smile.
"You kid...will hint to your father."
Compared with the first time they met after his rebirth, after working hard in Baizhou City for several years, dad Meilijun's hair has become much thinner, but now he has become much more mature and steady.
Although he is occasionally complained about by his family, he is a deputy director after all, and everyone is willing to sell him this face.
After Mei Lijun packed his luggage, he fell down on a bed and lay down, looking dazed.
"In order to accompany your son to come here to take the exam, your father and I have been busy for a long time, and we have worked overtime for several days to finish the work."
"The second in command is still working so hard!"
"Just because you are the second-in-command, you have to work so hard. When you go out to work in the future and become a junior leader or a middle-level cadre, sooner or later you will understand this responsibility and hard work."
"Well... I don't want it. I want to be the number one person in the future, the big boss."
"Then you should study hard now and get your father admitted to the First Affiliated School of Jiangcheng Division. This way I will gain more face in the workplace."
"You still need me to earn face for you? Apart from the director, no one in the unit treats you well——"
As Mei Fang talked, Mei Lijun snored deeply.
He's really been working hard lately...
But I am so exhausted after working overtime until 9pm every day. In my previous life, my son who worked overtime until 2am every day must have something to say.
There was a knock on the door of Mei Fang's room. When she opened it, she saw Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan. They had already packed up, "Afang, tell Uncle Mei that we will go downstairs to eat roast duck together later."
"
"My dad is too tired and needs to rest first."
"Then...wait for Uncle Mei to rest, okay?"
"That's not necessary. We'll eat it ourselves first, and then we'll pack some food for him."
Xia Xun, who was almost the host of this trip, invited the group to eat roast duck. He had reserved a private room in advance.
Although I think roast duck is nothing special now, after all, it can be eaten anywhere, but in the early years it was a rare delicacy here in Chubei Province, and Quan Jude in the imperial capital was so famous that it was enough to make people salivate.
Not to mention Baimei County, there is no roast duck restaurant in the entire Baizhou City. Only in Jiangcheng can you have the opportunity to taste this unique northern delicacy. It is precisely with this in mind that Xia Xun decided to go to Jiangcheng for roast duck.
First meal.
Although he was very worried about the concept of super energy, Xia Xun didn't want to interfere with his daughter's preparation for the exam, so he asked this matter after the exam was over.
"Uncle has already ordered some dishes before he came. Let's see if you want to add anything else, kids?"
"Give it to me first!"
After Xia Yuan asked for the menu, she skillfully ordered her favorite gold and silver steamed buns and some snacks, then handed the menu to Lin Youxi, "Youxi, let's see what else to add?"
"I can do whatever I want..." Lin Youxi waved her hand, "Please order more if you don't have enough."
"What about Al Fang?"
"I don't need it, show it to Aunt Liang."
After hearing this, Liang Meijuan also waved her hands wildly, "How do I know what to order in such a high-end store? You just click and take a look."
"It's okay, Sister Liang. This is not a high-end store, it's just a little closer."
"It would be nice if it was a little more colorful, and it would be nice if the children could eat happily."
Lin Youxi looked a little uneasy while waiting for the roast duck to be served. Uncle Xia Xun, who was full of emotional intelligence, knew that some people had never eaten roast duck, so he introduced how to eat roast duck after the roast duck was served.
"Let's first hold the lotus leaf pancake with our left hand, dip a few slices of roast duck into some sweet noodle sauce, this is shredded green onions and cucumbers, you can also add them as you like, then place them on the pancake surface, roll them up and eat them. The pancakes can be wrapped like this first
On both sides, wrap up the bottom, it doesn’t matter if you start directly, you can eat it directly after wrapping.”
After listening to Xia Xun's introduction, Lin Youxi began to try to make the rolls on her own, but she was a little unskilled in the roll making process, and things often leaked out of the rolls.
So Mei Fang on the side taught her step by step again, and Lin Youxi was finally able to eat well more easily.
However, Liang Meijuan next to her also looked quite awkward and awkward. She rolled it a few times but was not very good at it, so she just put the roast duck in her hands and ate it directly with the sauce.
"Auntie, let me teach you."
Lin Youxi took Liang Meijuan through the burrito process. After Aunt Liang rolled a piece, she handed it to Lin Youxi's bowl.
"No, no, no, aunt, you can eat it yourself."
"Auntie just ate a piece. Just try it. You can eat it..."
In the end, Liang Meijuan couldn't resist Lin Youxi's insistence. Later, Lin Youxi even made roast duck rolls for Liang Meijuan to eat. Xia Xun on the side also said:
"You two are welcome. If it's not enough, I can order more."
At this time, Xia Yuan leaned into Mei Fang's ear: "Have you noticed that the relationship between Youxi and Aunt Liang is getting better and better?"
"Yeah, after all, we are a family now..."
Lin Youxi is a very stubborn child. No matter how considerate Liang Meijuan has been to her over the past year or so, for her, "mom" will always belong only to her.
The name of that person on the tombstone.
But there is no need to force her to change and change her name to mother.
Just let nature take its course.
After everyone finished eating the roast duck, they packed a serving of shredded pork with Beijing sauce for Mei Fang’s father, Mei Lijun. When Mei Fang gave it to his father, he just woke up. After Mei Lijun finished eating, everyone also rested in the room for a while.
, and then we set out to visit the campus together.
After obtaining permission from the school, they walked around the campus of the high school attached to Jiangcheng Normal University. This school has complete facilities, a large campus area, and a beautiful campus environment. They are all located in Xia Yuan, Lin, Baimei County.
There is a scene that even Mei Fang cannot imagine.
In addition to the teaching building in the conventional sense, Jiangcheng Normal University also has a science and education building specially used for experiments. The sports venues are described as "groups". After all, they include outdoor ball sports fields, track and field fields and indoor sports venues.
Ball games hall, swimming pool, tennis court, badminton court.
The library collection of the First Affiliated School of Jiangcheng Normal University is comparable to that of some smaller universities. In addition, it has established an art center with a school history exhibition hall and a science and technology exhibition hall, including an auditorium that can accommodate 1,500 people and 4 lecture halls.
/Music, these artistic talents are born in the art center, which also has unique activity areas and style displays.
"This, this, this... is this really a high school... Why does it feel like the universities on TV? There is even a swimming pool. It's amazing!" Xia Yuan's tone was full of envy, "I feel like the atmosphere of going to school here.
Great! What do you think, Youxi?"
Lin Youxi's determination became even stronger, "We must get admitted here."
"Then, let's cheer together!"
Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi stretched out their hands and folded them together, waiting for Mei Fang to reach out.
"Okay, I'll come too."
As soon as Mei Fang stretched out her hand, Xia Yuan grabbed her.
"Wait a minute, Al Fang, please put it on the middle layer."
"So there is such a thing..."
"Come on! Come on! Come on! You must pass the exam!"
The autonomous admission test for county students in the cultural class will start tomorrow. After Xia Yuan has finished taking the cultural class, he will also take a special art test the next day.
Although the entire Jiangcheng itinerary is quite tight, they have put in a lot of efforts for this, and the sweat and hard work of the past half year will definitely be worth it.
Damn it, why is it too late! Well, this is yesterday’s update, and normal updates will resume from 12:00 and 18:30 today.
Chapter completed!
