Chapter 721 Director Cao ran away (10,200) Good night
When they came out of the Zongfo Temple, Cao Shujie and the others were not in a hurry to go to the Primeval Forest Park, but first found a place nearby to have a meal.
The restaurant environment is very clean, the food tastes good, and the price is indeed not expensive. Cao Shujie and the others are very satisfied with their meal.
After Wang Yuelan saw her son coming back from the checkout, she asked him about the price. When she learned that their family of six spent less than 400 yuan in total, Wang Yuelan wondered why it was so cheap here.
"The prices are really not high." Cao Shujie sighed.
Cao Jianguo also nodded.
Even someone like him who doesn't travel much knows that many restaurants near scenic spots are on the expensive side, and there are often news about "cheating" on TV, but he didn't expect to find such an affordable place this time.
After dinner, Cao Shujie pushed his grandfather out of the restaurant in a wheelchair. When they were about to leave for the Primeval Forest Park, Cao Shujie's WeChat message prompted a video call.
When I saw it was his cousin Cao Shubin calling, I picked up the call easily.
"Happy New Year, brother." Cao Shujie shouted when he saw his cousin Cao Shubin's head appear on the video screen.
Cao Shubin also smiled and said "Happy New Year".
"Brother, are you here? How was your time there?" Cao Shubin asked him, with a concerned tone when speaking.
He asked: "Grandpa, second uncle, and second aunt are all okay?"
"Well, it's pretty good." Cao Shujie said.
As he spoke, Cao Shujie turned his cell phone, and his grandfather Cao Zhenghu appeared in the camera. Only then did Cao Shubin notice that the clothes on his grandfather were very thin.
Moreover, there were passers-by walking by in the camera, and some of them were actually wearing short-sleeves.
"Grandpa, is it so hot over there?" Cao Shubin was curious.
Cao Zhenghu said 'hmm': "Shubin, it's getting warm here. Wearing long sleeves makes you sweat after taking a few more steps."
"You are doing well at home, right?" Cao Zhenghu asked his eldest grandson.
Hearing that his eldest grandson Cao Shubin said it was very good, and even picked out beef, pork, and fish today, Cao Zhenghu seemed to feel the flavor of the New Year.
He said: "I won't be celebrating the New Year at home this year. When will you leave after the new year?"
"It's the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. It won't be a big deal if you go back early. Just stay at home for a few more days." Cao Shubin said this.
Grandpa is not at home, and neither are the second uncle, cousin, and the rest of the family. Only my cousin just came back from the city today and is celebrating the New Year alone at home.
I asked her why she didn't go out with her brother, but she heard from her cousin that she was too lazy to move after finally having a vacation.
When Cao Zhenghu heard that his eldest grandson said he would go back on the sixth day of the lunar month, he thought about it and turned back to ask his younger grandson Cao Shujie: "Shujie, when will we go back?"
"How about playing for a few more days, the fifth day of the Lunar New Year?" Cao Shujie said.
When he heard his grandfather ask, "When will we go back for the first time?" Cao Shujie knew in his heart that his grandfather wanted to go back and meet his two cousins.
"Well, Shubin, let's go back on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year and tell your father that we will have a meal together then." This is what Cao Zhenghu said.
Before Cao Shubin could respond, Cao Jianlin's profile picture had already appeared on the screen. He took the phone over and pushed his son aside: "Dad, you are coming back on the fifth day of the lunar month, right? When you come back, come to my place.
Let’s eat while we’re at it.”
"Okay!" Cao Zhenghu agreed.
Father Cao Jianguo also came over to chat. He originally wanted to drive off, but this time he wasted a little time.
After waiting for the chat to finish, half an hour had passed.
Wang Yuelan thought about the fact that her daughter was unwilling to go out with them this time. Could it be that the older the daughter was, the more independent she became, and she might find a partner and get married in the future.
Cheng Xiaolin feels weird every time she hears her mother-in-law mention this matter.
Come here and park your car in the nearby parking lot.
Cao Shujie got out a wheelchair and pushed his grandfather forward.
Father Cao Jianguo was looking at Mengmeng, while Wang Yuelan was walking slowly with her daughter-in-law.
This primeval forest park is said to be created on the basis of 25,000 acres of tropical ravine rainforest. The forest coverage rate in the park exceeds 98%, making it a natural oxygen bar.
In addition, there are ravine rain forests, flying peacocks, folk songs and dances, food, water splashing carnival and other projects in the park. It is one of the largest comprehensive eco-tourism attractions in Xishuangbanna.
At the same time, it ranks first in the comprehensive index in Xishuangbanna area on various travel-related websites.
Many tourists come here specifically.
Cao Shujie and the others were also very curious before they came over.
After arriving here, I saw the ancient trees that cover the sky, century-old trees, and the "living fossil" plants of celestial wood, alpinia alba, and phoenix pine that are said to have reproduced continuously for millions of years.
There are also the giant Wangtian tree in the forest and the four-rooted king four-tree tree.
It can be seen that natural phenomena such as "flowers sprouting from old stems" and plant strangulation make people admire the strange charm of nature.
Deep inside the forest park, there are primitive hunting activity spots, where animals are kept for hunting. Tourists can also hunt with bows and crossbows. After gathering the prey, they can also barbecue, eat and cook at specific locations in the forest park.
In addition, special rafting tools can also be used to allow tourists to float along the repaired Caiyang River.
If you don’t want to engage in activities such as hunting and rafting, you can go see the green peacock.
There is a peacock breeding base in the primeval forest park. It is said that there are more than 400 green peacocks raised in total. People can watch the peacocks open their tails and take photos with the peacocks as a souvenir.
There are also monkey domestication bases, large-scale folk customs performance venues, Jinhu legends, etc., allowing tourists to fully experience the three major themes of "primitive forest, wild animals, and folk customs".
There are also ethnic minorities such as the Dai and Jingpo people in the park. They retain their own traditional culture and lifestyle. When communicating with them, you can feel the cultural atmosphere flowing deep in the primeval forest.
Cao Shujie pushed his grandfather in a wheelchair. The walking was smooth at first, but it became difficult later on. The road was not easy to walk on, or it was uphill. Cao Shujie and the others took a battery car in the scenic spot.
On the way, I bought some food in the forest park. Compared with outside, the prices here are really not low.
When Cao Shujie and the others came out of the forest park, Mengmeng kept shouting that she was tired and said her legs were sore and she didn't want to leave.
Grandpa basically used a wheelchair or took a battery car to travel along the way, but even so, he felt tired.
Fortunately, Cao Shujie and his wife were doing better. Even so, Cao Shujie did not continue to visit other places and drove his family back to the Sheraton Hotel.
He went back to his room to wash up and rest for a while. After five o'clock in the afternoon, Cao Shujie drove his family towards the restaurant where he ordered food.
It’s not too far to get here, a total of more than two kilometers. When we got there, we saw cars parked on both sides.
Cao Shujie drove forward slowly and finally found a place to park.
After taking his grandfather in, Cao Shujie reported his phone number and name, and without any trouble, they successfully entered the room they reserved in advance.
This was considered a New Year's Eve dinner. When ordering, Cao Shujie handed the menu to his grandfather first. He saw that his grandfather only ordered one Thai Tom Yum soup, and he didn't know what to order for the rest.
"Shujie, you better order it, I don't eat much anyway." That's what Cao Zhenghu said.
Cao Shujie wanted his parents to order food, but Cao Jianguo and Wang Yuelan were not interested either.
His wife was even less interested in ordering food.
Mengmeng, on the other hand, kept reaching out for the menu, thinking about how many dishes to order. Cao Shujie also doted on her and handed her the menu.
Looking at Mengmeng without looking at it, she pointed at the picture on the menu and ordered Thai grilled chicken, grilled pigeon, and pineapple rice. After finishing, she pushed the menu to Cao Shujie.
"Dad, I'll just order these, and you can fill in the rest." She said something quite like that, which made Cao Shujie and the others laugh.
Lemon fish, ginger oil chicken, plus lemongrass grilled fish and seasoned beef.
There are also several glasses of freshly squeezed juice.
To be honest, when looking at the menu, Cao Shujie also found a good dish, which he also wanted to order, but considering his grandfather, parents and his wife and daughter, he finally resisted his greedy thoughts.
That's a snake soup.
No need to ask if you look at the pictures.
He wanted to eat, but thinking about it carefully, he couldn't eat it.
When Cao Shujie came to the bathroom, he saw someone outside ordering a peacock feast, but it was a large plate with a variety of different foods.
Without taking a closer look at what was inside, Cao Shujie felt that the shape was very confusing the first time he saw it.
He thought to himself that there was really no need to order such fancy things. It was better to order a few real dishes like him. It was a bit expensive, but the food was clear and you knew what it was.
Perhaps because today is New Year's Eve, the restaurant usually closes at 9pm, but it will not close tonight. In addition, the Spring Festival Gala is also playing on a temporary TV set in the hall.
Cao Shujie and the others were not in a hurry to go back. After eating, they all came out of the room and went to the hall to watch this year's Spring Festival Gala. They felt the New Year's atmosphere with others. It felt like the New Year instantly.
…
At the same time, in Caojiazhuang, many villagers, even in the same village, did not know that Cao Shujie and the others were traveling for the New Year.
On the night of New Year's Eve, after having the New Year's Eve dinner at home, they began to walk north, walking all the way to the home where there were elderly people.
Finally, we came to the north end of the village, thinking of going to Director Cao’s house during the Chinese New Year.
But when they came here, they found that many people here had returned from the east.
Seeing them coming, they all seemed to know that they were going to Director Cao's house to pay New Year greetings.
Someone took the initiative and said, "Don't go either. The door to Director Cao's house is still locked."
"Why, it's Chinese New Year, and Director Cao isn't home either?"
"I just found out. Director Cao drove out yesterday. He seemed to be going out to celebrate the Spring Festival. I don't know where he went specifically."
After hearing the news, many people who came to pay Cao Shujie New Year greetings were a little disappointed.
They really didn't expect that Director Cao would quietly leave early this year.
I don’t know what’s going on, but my right eye started to swell, which is quite awkward. I originally wanted to write more, so I’ll write these first.
