As soon as the morning light emerged, Lou Zhisheng and Qi Fang arrived at the Tianyingli Palace Hotel in a nanny car and met the members of the Pure Play Group.
In the past two days, Lou Cheng cut down on his exercise time and accompanied his parents around Xiale Lake. He took them to visit several major shopping districts and bought a lot of seasonal clothes.
Originally, the old couple was not happy to spend such money, but the clothes they brought were obviously too thick to wear under the premise that Lou Cheng deliberately did not mention the weather in Huacheng, so they had to reluctantly accept it. Later, Qi Fang got used to this kind of clothes.
In the shopping atmosphere, without much persuasion from his son, he started to pick automatically and consciously, leaving Lou Cheng standing by to watch the results. He only occasionally communicated with Yan Zheke about which pieces were good-looking, which ones were ordinary, and which ones were aesthetically unique.
Not to mention, Buddha relies on his golden body, and people rely on their clothes. Lou Zhisheng and Qi Fang looked brand new when they went out today, and their walking became a little more brisk.
Entering the hotel lobby, they were almost dazzled by the splendid decorations, and then they saw a tall and thin man coming over with his mobile phone raised, smiling enthusiastically and asking:
"Is it Uncle Lou or Aunt Qi? I'm the tour guide Xiao Chen, Chen Zunxian. I called you before."
"Yes, yes, hello, hello, are we not late?" Lou Zhisheng, who once traveled all over the world, asked in Mandarin with a very provincial flavor.
"It's still early, it's still early, let's go over there." Chen Zunxian led the old couple to the lobby rest area, pointed at a short girl with a plump figure, thick eyebrows and thick lips and said, "This is my partner, Qin
Ran, we are responsible for the itinerary of your ten distinguished guests."
Ten tourists, two tour guides? Isn’t this too luxurious? Qi Fang was secretly speechless.
Although she has never traveled, in recent years, with the development of society, many relatives and friends around her have had related experiences, and their daily chats have given her a lot of basic knowledge.
Of course, what she didn't know was that if Yan Zheke hadn't felt that it was too lonely to be alone with the old couple, she might have been awkward with the tour guide and might have made an appointment for private services.
"Okay, everyone is here." Qin Ran clapped her hands and said in a soft voice, "Our first trip today is to go to Huacheng Restaurant to enjoy morning tea. This is the living habit of Guangnan people. Now that we are here, we
Can’t miss it…”
After a heart-pounding introduction, the purely playful group took a bus, walked through the streets and alleys, and arrived at the Huacheng Restaurant, where a large round table was filled.
"People here really like this..." Qi Fang glanced at the bustling hall and whispered to Lou Zhisheng.
"Didn't you watch the TV series?" Lou Zhisheng teased funnyly.
He remembered that from a few years before his son was born to when he was in the third or fourth grade of elementary school, his wife was particularly fond of TVB dramas.
"How can all the TV series be taken seriously?" Qi Fang's eyes widened and she spoke arrogantly.
At this time, steamers were placed one by one, and the aroma of various dim sum filled the air.
Because there were outsiders around, Qi Fang was not as cheerful as usual, so she just picked the food in front of her and ate it.
An old man sitting next to the couple heard their discussion, picked up the tea, took a sip, and asked with a smile:
"Are you from Xing Province?"
His hair is almost completely white, but he is very energetic and well-dressed.
"Yes." Lou Zhisheng nodded and replied.
Since Qi Fang didn't speak Mandarin, she felt a little inferior in this kind of communication and only listened but did not speak.
"Did the children sign up for the tour for you?" the old man asked again with a smile, and casually put a piece of steamed chicken feet with abalone sauce on the plate.
Lou Zhisheng swallowed the shrimp dumplings in his mouth and said, "Yes, he helped us sign up for the tour online, and we both don't understand this either."
"I take it you didn't stay in the hotel here?" The old man looked like the kind of business person who likes to talk to others when they have nothing to say.
"My child is in Huacheng. He stays with him at night and comes to gather in the morning. He just feels that he is too busy and is afraid that we two will have nothing to do at home, so he made a group for us to walk around." Lou.
Zhisheng considered his words carefully.
The old man chuckled and said: "We are the same. The children signed up for the tour. I feel that my children and I have been busy all our lives. Now that they are here, we can have some leisure time. While our legs and feet are still good, we can see more and enjoy the blessings. We can't just patronize them."
Work hard.”
He pointed at the woman in her fifties next to her who had obviously put on weight and whose clothes and bags were quite high-end.
"Don't say you don't have these." The woman smiled reservedly.
After chatting for a few words, after the morning tea, everyone became a little familiar with each other. Chen Zunxian kept running back and forth to ask questions, striving to make every tourist feel comfortable.
"Let's go to one of the Eight Scenic Spots of the Flower City next..." Seeing that she was almost rested, Qin Ran quickly stood up to introduce and organize the team.
After the day's trip, everyone who was tired returned to the Tianyingli Palace Hotel and listened to the two tour guides in the lobby talking about the general arrangements for the next day.
"Old Lou, are you going back to your children's home?" The old man named Shao Ankang was in good spirits. He did not follow the others to take the elevator to the room to rest. He stayed in the lobby with his wife, Lou Zhisheng, Qi Fang, and the two tour guides.
Chat.
"Yes, he asked the driver to pick us up." As soon as Lou Zhisheng finished speaking, Qi Fang's cell phone rang.
She picked up the answer, hummed twice, looked at the people opposite, and said with a smile in modified Xingxin dialect:
"The car is here, let's go first."
"Okay, Uncle Lou, Aunt Qi, be careful on the road." Tour guide Chen Zunxian stood up and escorted the old couple to the door.
Shao Ankang and his wife stood there with Qin Ran, waving goodbye and following the figures of the Lou family to the outside of the glass revolving door.
A silver-gray nanny car slowly stopped. Shao Ankang's pupils shrank and he blurted out:
"Military card!"
It’s still a very special military badge with a very small serial number!
Before he finished speaking, he saw the car door open and a young woman wearing office professional attire get out. She respectfully helped Lou Zhisheng and Qi Fang inside.
Before the car door closed, the Lou family couple turned around and waved to Chen Zunxian and the three people looking in the lobby.
Shao Ankang and others raised their arms numbly and responded.
The gap gradually disappeared, and the silver-gray nanny car restarted and disappeared from their eyes.
"Lao Lou and his family are not simple..." After a long time, Shao Ankang sighed.
It doesn’t look shady at all!
…………
The seven or eight-day trip to Flower City passed in a blink of an eye. Lou Zhisheng and Qi Fang stayed for a few more days. They felt bored and flew back to Xiushan as if they were fleeing. Lou Cheng began to count down how many days the little fairy had until her winter vacation.
Just after he started all the outer gang chapters of "Ice Department" and "Fire Department", he received a message from the military:
"Lin Que, who is in a war-torn area, is missing!"
PS: I came back late, so this chapter has a relatively short number of words.
