It wasn't until around six o'clock in the evening that Cao Shujie and his family passed the security check and boarded the plane.
Under the moonlight, a Sichuan Airlines plane took off and flew towards Gasa International Airport.
On the plane, Mengmeng was quite excited at first, but was not very honest the whole time.
But after the freshness wore off, she began to feel sleepy again.
At this time, Grandpa Cao Zhenghu also started to feel sleepy and fell asleep not long after lying on the chair.
Cao Jianguo next to him took good care of his old father.
At 10:50 p.m., the plane from Quancheng landed on time at Gasa International Airport.
The passengers on the plane were also woken up. After the plane stopped at the parking platform, Cao Shujie and the others got off the plane first under the guidance of the flight attendant.
Asking his father and others to wait in front, Cao Shujie went to fetch the two suitcases.
When they came out of the waiting room, the driver arranged by the Sheraton Hotel to pick them up called Cao Shujie on time and asked where he was.
I have to say that after the money is in place, the service will also be in place. There is nothing wrong with this.
However, when she first arrived in a new place, what surprised Mengmeng the most was not the different architectural style here from her hometown. Instead, she had to wear a cotton-padded jacket to play around in Caojiazhuang, but she actually felt hot here.
When they arrived, it was about minus 3 degrees in her hometown. Cheng Xiaolin specially put thick clothes on Mengmeng, but she felt like she was sweating as soon as she got off the plane.
Cao Shujie checked the real-time temperature update on his mobile phone, which clearly showed that it was now 17 degrees.
"It's so warm, Shujie, I think the temperature is just right." Cheng Xiaolin also felt a little hot, so she took off her coat.
Cao Zhenghu immediately felt the difference between this place and his hometown, Caojiazhuang.
He actually felt very comfortable here, but when he was in his hometown, even if there was heating at home, he still felt uncomfortable when he walked from the house to the outside and the two extreme temperatures were compared.
But this problem doesn't exist at all here now.
Cao Shujie saw that the skin on his grandfather's face was a little rosy, which was a sign of good blood circulation. He smiled and asked: "Grandpa, what do you think?"
"Very good!" Cao Zhenghu said truthfully.
Cao Shujie was so happy that he asked Cao Zhenghu: "Grandpa, how about you living here permanently in winter?"
Seeing that Cao Zhenghu was about to object, Cao Shujie continued: "Grandpa, I'm not bragging. I feel that if your body stays here permanently, it won't be a problem for you to live another twenty or thirty years."
He does not mean that!
When Cao Jianguo heard his son say this, he was really interested.
Especially as his old father is getting older and is about to reach his 90th birthday in a few years, Cao Jianguo naturally hopes that his old father can live a few more years.
If it’s really like what my son said, it’s not impossible!
The driver driving in front also understood what Cao Shujie said. He smiled and said in Mandarin with an accent: "There are many old people in the north who come to us to spend the winter when the weather is cold."
"It is very cheap to rent a house with a yard here, and the price is also very low. More than 3,000 yuan a month is enough for daily needs."
The driver seemed very talkative, but what he said was true.
Money is not a problem at all for Cao Shujie.
But since he was unfamiliar with the place, he didn't carelessly say that he had tens of millions in cash that he could withdraw at any time. Instead, he humbly asked the driver to find out what was going on with the old people who came here to spend the winter.
During this chat, the time passed very quickly unknowingly. Just when Cao Shujie was still thinking about asking in detail about the rent, prices and other daily necessities here, the car had already arrived at the gate of the Sheraton Hotel.
Cao Shujie booked three deluxe double rooms, one for his grandfather, one for his parents, and one for their family of three. Each room cost more than 1,100 yuan.
When he walked to the front desk to check in, Cao Shujie discovered that there were many themed rooms here.
Like the Egyptian God-themed room, the Alice in Wonderland themed room, the deluxe courtyard king bed room, etc.
If it hadn't been too late, Mengmeng would have been too sleepy to open her eyes. Cao Shujie thought of changing to an anime-themed room that night so that Mengmeng could have fun.
…
Cao Zhenghu had a long day of traveling and traveling yesterday, which was very tiring for Cao Zhenghu. In addition, it was already very late when he got here at night. Cao Zhenghu fell asleep after entering the room and washing up.
He didn't wake up until around eight o'clock the next morning.
Cao Shujie had already returned from a walk outside wearing a set of casual sportswear.
At this time, his wife and daughter all got up, and his parents also accompanied grandpa, waiting for him to have breakfast together.
"I just went out for a walk and asked others about it. There is a primeval forest park and the Manting Imperial Garden nearby. They all said it was pretty good."
"Let's not leave today. We will go out for a visit later and come back for some New Year's Eve dinner in the evening."
After hearing what Cao Shujie said, her mother Wang Yuelan also said: "How do you cook? How do you make dumplings?"
She is used to preparing New Year's Eve dinner every Spring Festival.
But Cao Shujie said: "Mom, what else are you preparing? Let's eat some specialties nearby tonight."
"I've been busy preparing for it every year, why did I come out this year? I just wanted to relax."
Cao Shujie pointed in a direction with his finger: "There is a restaurant over there that specializes in Dai cuisine. They all say the food tastes good. Let's finish breakfast later and go out for a day of fun. Come back early in the afternoon and eat there."
Cheng Xiaolin remembered something and reminded him: "Shujie, would you like to order a meal first? I see there are a lot of people staying in the hotel. Besides, it's New Year's Eve today, so there are also a lot of people coming to eat in the evening."
"I just asked someone to call over there to book a room. We can just go there tonight," Cao Shujie said.
"I knew daddy was the best." Mengmeng said with a smile.
She held Cao Shujie's hand: "Dad, let's go eat quickly, I'm so hungry."
"Let's go!" Cao Shujie held his daughter's hand and led the family towards the restaurant of the Sheraton Hotel.
There is a buffet breakfast here, and when I came here, it looked pretty good.
The taste is also very good, Mengmeng eats a lot.
Grandpa Cao Zhenghu usually doesn't eat much at home, but here he also ate two custard buns, a crab roe steamed bun, an egg, and a glass of milk.
Father Cao Jianguo ate more and went back and forth several times to get it.
Wang Yuelan also asked him to pay attention to his image. Seeing that his father was getting anxious, Cao Shujie thought it was okay. He stood up and said, "Mom, it's okay. You'll have to eat until you're full."
"We will go out to play later. We have to walk a lot. If we don't have enough to eat, how can we have the energy to play?" he said.
Cao Jianguo saw his son supporting him and laughed: "Shujie is right."
After finishing speaking, Cao Jianguo stuffed another beef bun into his mouth.
He likes to eat this. Cao Jianguo doesn't like other meals that look exquisitely made.
After eating, Cao Shujie went to the hotel for car rental service. Considering there were so many of them, he rented a GL8, a car he was familiar with.
I heard that the hotel also provided driver service. Cao Shujie thought about it again and again, but it still didn't work.
They don't have a fixed place, they can go wherever they want, but it feels awkward to have a driver.
After putting their things in the car, they set off.
The first stop is directly towards the Mantingyu Garden Scenic Area.
It's not too far from the hotel, it didn't take long to drive here, and the tickets are not expensive.
Both Key Mengmeng and Grandpa Cao Zhenghu are free.
In fact, only the four of them, Cao Shujie, his wife and his parents, needed to buy tickets.
After checking the tickets and entering, Cao Shujie felt that it was really worth it.
The scenery here is quite exotic to northerners like Cao Shujie and others.
The architectural style is completely different from that in the north. The tall trees and crystal clear streams in the forest made Mengmeng fall in love with this place as soon as she got off the car and she kept having fun everywhere.
Cao Shujie was worried about his daughter running around in a strange place. Seeing Mengmeng running a little further, Cao Shujie yelled at her in a serious voice.
Mengmeng was startled and returned to him obediently, with her little head drooped and a very aggrieved look on her face.
It looked like he was about to cry at any time.
Seeing her granddaughter like this, Wang Yuelan felt uncomfortable and wanted to say something to her son.
Cao Shujie immediately guessed what his mother wanted to say. He first said: "Mom, we are not familiar with this place at all, and you can't keep up with Mengmeng's speed. If she runs around, we will lose her later."
manage?"
Only then did Wang Yuelan realize the seriousness of the matter, and she stopped talking to her granddaughter.
Just like her son said, she simply can't keep up with Mengmeng's speed.
Cheng Xiaolin also said that her daughter was in a foreign land, and if she got lost, she would not be able to be found.
In the following time, Cao Shujie and the others no longer thought about anything else and just played here together.
There are various ancient trees and green plants with simple and unique shapes in the park, as well as many beautiful and unique buildings, which are very attractive to tourists.
There are also various B&B costumes rented by tourists, who are currently busy taking photos at various scenic spots in the park.
There is also an elephant show, and you can ride an elephant as long as you spend money.
Cao Shujie spared no effort in spending money.
Cheng Xiaolin wanted to go up, but she was worried about the second child in her belly, so she gave up the idea in the end.
But he felt uneasy about letting Mengmeng go up alone. When Cao Shujie saw that his mother Wang Yuelan also wanted to go up and sit, he handed over the money directly and coaxed his mother Wang Yuelan to take Mengmeng up there to experience it.
When the old man and the young man sat on the elephant and came back from a circle around the area, Mengmeng got off the elephant and immediately shouted excitedly: "Dad, the elephant is really tall. I can see well."
Far away."
Wang Yuelan didn't know how to describe the feeling of riding an elephant just now. She just thought that this attempt was great. She never thought that she would be able to ride an elephant again in her life.
After watching the elephant show, Cao Shujie took his family to take a boat ride around the lake, and finally went to the Zong Buddhist Temple.
Mengmeng is having fun this time.
Even Cao Zhenghu felt that the trip was worthwhile.
