The leisurely life of the reborn daddy

Chapter 357 The land of former glory (82001.2 million)
When she came back to her senses, Cheng Xiaolin was carrying a light blue travel bag behind her, and followed her husband back to the room.

As soon as Mengmeng entered the door, she thought about playing hide-and-seek again, and said to tell her mother to turn around, and she would hide first.

"Mengmeng, brother Dongdong is already asleep, so you should sleep for a while too." Cheng Xiaolin said.

But Mengmeng disagreed, and yelled: "Brother Dongdong is still a boy, he is not as good as me, he is too useless."

Cheng Xiaolin: "..."

"Mengmeng, are you looking for a beating?" Cheng Xiaolin said to her.

But Mengmeng didn't care about that, she ran to the other side of the bed in the room under the watchful eyes of Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin, squatted down, and revealed the three braids on her head, and shouted: "Mom, I've hidden it, you Find me."

The couple looked at each other, and Cao Shujie laughed silently.

Cheng Xiaolin felt tired: "Shujie, look at your daughter, why is she so naughty, it can really piss me off."

Cao Shujie didn't think so, he put down the things in his hand, and shouted in the direction of Mengmengzang: "Mengmeng, Daddy will play hide and seek with you, okay?"

"Okay, I'll hide it. Daddy will you find me?" Mengmeng's little head swayed back and forth, and the three little braids flicked and flicked along, looking very amusing.

Cao Shujie said, "Dad is looking for you."

While taking small steps, he searched everywhere in the house, and shouted from time to time.

Mengmeng hid in the gap between the bed and the wall, listening to her father calling her name and saying "I can't find you", she was secretly happy.

But Mengmeng squatted for a long time, her legs were a little numb, she couldn't hide herself, and said in a proud tone: "Dad, I'm hiding here, and you can't find me, you are so stupid. "

Cheng Xiaolin held back her mouth to prevent herself from laughing out loud, thinking that her daughter's IQ must be a problem.

"Shujie, did grandpa rest too?" Cheng Xiaolin asked him.

Cao Shujie nodded: "When I sent him over just now, he lay down and rested for a while."

"Then let's not worry, it's not too late to go out after the sun goes down." Cheng Xiaolin said.

Cao Shujie also meant the same thing. They were not in a hurry, and whenever they went to a place, they didn't have to wander around and feel lonely.

"Shujie, is there anything interesting in this place?" Cheng Xiaolin asked him.

Cao Shujie nodded: "There are quite a few. The history of this place is far away, and there are quite a lot of inheritances left over. Let's stay here for two more days. We will go to see it during the day and come back in the evening. Otherwise, it will be too cold. Can't take it."

When he said this, Cheng Xiaolin became interested and asked him: "Shujie, tell me what's here first?"

"What?" Cao Shujie thought for a while and said, "I remember Liangzhou Xianxiao, Hexi Baojuan Wuweijuan, Liangzhou Gongguzi, Tianzhu Tuzu Gesar, and Minqin Quzi Opera."

"There are also re-engraved paper-cuts, Xixia clay movable type printing and so on."

After Cheng Xiaolin heard her husband finish speaking, she realized that she understood all the words, but she didn't know what it meant or what it represented.

"What are these things? How do you know?" Cheng Xiaolin was a little puzzled.

Cao Shujie said with a smile: "After you all fell asleep last night, I checked the information with my mobile phone."

"Since we're here to play, we must know what's here." Cao Shujie said.

Cheng Xiaolin suddenly realized, and she said: "I said, why did you keep asking us last night if we can come to Weiwu City today? It turns out that you have plans."

Cao Shujie didn't bother to say these things: "Otherwise, you should know a little bit, or you won't know how you got tricked when you go out."

"Then where are we going to play tomorrow?" Cheng Xiaolin asked him.

Seeing her father and mother ignoring her, Mengmeng was a little angry, and ran to her father and mother, hugging her father's leg: "Dad, why didn't you look for me anymore."

Cao Shujie opened his eyes and said nonsense: "Dad has been looking for you. Dad almost searched the room, and immediately found the place you hid just now. Who knew you ran out by yourself?"

Mengmeng didn't believe it at all, she shook her body and said, "I don't believe it, unless you find me again."

"Mengmeng, dad will take you to see interesting places tomorrow, okay?" Cao Shujie asked.

But Mengmeng is not easily fooled, she asked: "What's the matter?"

"There are many interesting places here. There are snow mountains and glaciers, forests and grasslands, oases and gardens, deserts and Gobi deserts. By the way, there are also Xixia Monuments and Tianti Mountain Grottoes."

Speaking of this, Cao Shujie looked at his wife and asked her: "Wife, do you still remember the text of Ma Ta Feiyan?"

"Remember, I just can't memorize it." Cheng Xiaolin said.

Cao Shujie pointed to the ground: "That's where it was unearthed."

"I read on the Internet that there are Baita Temple, Confucian Temple, Kumarajiva Temple, and the South Gate. They are all here. Let's take a look."

"Okay!" Cheng Xiaolin agreed.

The three of them stopped playing hide and seek. Cao Shujie turned on the TV in the room and watched the local news.

According to the information he found, there are more than 40 ethnic minorities living together in this place, and you can feel the difference when you watch the TV news.

Mengmeng leaned on her father's lap and watched the news for a while. She felt that it was not as good-looking as the cartoons, so she immediately lost the mood to watch them.

"Mom, it's so boring, I want to sleep."

After the excitement passed, Mengmeng began to feel sleepy.

She yawned and rubbed her eyes from time to time, and she couldn't keep them open after a while.

After Cheng Xiaolin saw it, she hugged her daughter and coaxed her slowly.

After a while, Mengmeng fell asleep first.

"Shujie, you've been driving all the way, and you're very tired. You should sleep for a while."

"Okay, I'll lie down for a while, and when I wake up, let's try the cold noodles, bacon, rock sugar round jujube tea, and a big moon cake. Many people on the Internet say it's delicious, let's try it too .” Cao Shujie said.

After finishing speaking, Cao Shujie took off his coat, lay on the side of the bed, and fell asleep not long after.

Cheng Xiaolin saw that her husband and daughter were fast asleep, and she was also a little sleepy, but she still remembered to go out and take a look.

When I came back, I lay on the other side of the bed and fell asleep too.

I don't know how long it has passed. After Mengmeng woke up, she sat in the middle of the bed and saw that her parents were sleeping and no one was paying attention to her, so she started to act mischievously, covering her father's mouth for a while, pinching his nose for a while, Say anything to wake up Dad.

As for Cheng Xiaolin, she didn't dare to move, for fear of annoying her mother and beating her up.

Cao Shujie felt that it was difficult to breathe, and suddenly opened his eyes with angry eyes, which surprised Mengmeng and almost fell to the ground from him.

Fortunately, Cao Shujie had sharp eyesight and quick hands, so he quickly reached out to support her: "Mengmeng, what are you doing? Be careful not to fall on you."

Mengmeng was also taken aback. Hearing her father yelling at her, Mengmeng felt a little wronged, her mouth shrunk, and tears flowed from her eyes.

Cao Shujie was at a loss for what to do with his daughter, so he coaxed her for a while, but couldn't coax her well.

His wife Cheng Xiaolin woke up after hearing Mengmeng's cry.

After hugging her and coaxing her for a while, the little guy stopped making noise.

"Shujie, what time is it?" Cheng Xiaolin asked him.

Cao Shujie took the phone to check: "It's past 3 o'clock, I don't know if Grandpa and the others are awake?"

"Dad, hide and seek." Mengmeng said.

Cao Shujie had a headache. He looked out of the window and said, "Mengmeng, let's go see grandpa and grandma. If grandma wakes up, let's go out to play for a while before going to eat something."

"Okay, hurry up, Dad." Mengmeng urged.

"Honey, put Mengmeng into thick clothes, or it will be cold."

……

In grandfather Cao Zhenghu's room, Cao Shujie just came over and found that his grandfather had woken up and was alone in the room with the TV on, listening to Beijing opera.

"Grandpa, let's go out and have some food." Cao Shujie asked him.

Cao Zhenghu nodded: "Okay, I have no problem, I'm afraid you young people won't be able to hold on."

Cao Shujie thought to himself, he and his wife were the only young people in the team, they were underestimated by grandpa.

"That won't work. I'll call my mother and let's go out." Cao Shujie walked out, and when he reached the door, he stopped again, turned to his grandfather and said, "Grandpa, remember to wear more clothes. cold."

The temperature here in the afternoon has reached single digits, and Cao Shujie is speechless.

But there is no other way but to wear more clothes.

It's just that his mother-in-law Li Xiaojuan didn't expect that it was only October, and the temperature here was so outrageous, she didn't bring particularly thick clothes.

This is not a problem at all, there is a shopping mall next to it.

Cao Shujie and his group first went to the nearby shopping mall to buy clothes. Everyone was dressed enough to keep warm, and then they went to the street to look for food.

Last night, Cao Shujie made a guide, and they didn't miss any of the few special snacks they found on the Internet.

It was too cold at night, after dinner, they canceled their original plan to go for a walk, and hurried back to the hotel.

Cao Zhenhu also said: "Shujie, have you found out? There are not many people here."

Cao Shujie nodded, he also saw this detail.

As for the specific reason, to put it bluntly, it has something to do with the local economy. The overall economy is relatively poor, and the population is prone to outflow.

The father and son were talking about this matter, and they talked about where to play tomorrow.

In the area where they are now, there are many places to play.

Considering that his grandfather is old after all, Cao Shujie didn't plan to travel further. He picked a few scenic spots with relatively concentrated locations and planned to drive around tomorrow to see the historical Liangzhou culture.

Anyway, this is also an important city on the ancient Silk Road, once the largest oasis in the Hexi Corridor.

Historically, even the majestic Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up a county here. At that time, this place was once the center of the entire Northwest region, and the prosperity of the economy can be seen.

It's just that these have become history, and now it is far worse than before.

……

When Cao Shujie was playing outside with his grandfather, wife and children, mother and mother-in-law, Cao Jianlin in Anyi City was also chatting with his two sons.

It is already mid-October, and the end of the year is not far away.

Cao Jianlin discussed with the two sons about taking the old father back from his hometown. According to the previous discussion, it was their turn to take care of the elderly next year.

"Shubin, Shuxin, I'll call your second uncle later, let him know in advance." Cao Jianlin said.

The two brothers nodded almost simultaneously.

"Dad, you can just call, and we will bring grandpa back in December," said the boss, Cao Shubin.

The second son, Cao Shuxin, also said, "When grandpa comes, stay with me for a while."

Cao Jianlin listened to the two brothers discussing there, so he called his brother Cao Jianguo first.

After waiting for the call to connect, he heard his brother's voice from the opposite side of the phone: "Brother, why did you remember to call?"

"I'm thinking that it's almost the end of the year, and I'll bring our father back when the time comes," Cao Jianlin said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Jianguo hesitated: "Brother, why don't we let my father stay in our hometown for a while longer?"

"It just so happens that Shujie is fine. You are very busy in the city, and my father also likes to stay in his hometown." Cao Jianguo said.

But Cao Jianlin disagreed. He said, "I usually don't have anything to do. I just stay with my father."

He also said: "Why don't you ask our father if he would like to come back."

Cao Jianguo was a little embarrassed.

Cao Jianlin became anxious when he heard that, did something happen?
Could it be that something unexpected happened to the old father, and his second brother has been hiding it?

How confused!

"Jianguo, what's wrong with our father?" He asked anxiously.

Only then did Cao Jianguo say: "Brother, our father is traveling with Shujie and the others."

"It is said that they are going to Xinjiang, but I can't tell where they are now?" Cao Jianguo said to his elder brother.

Cao Jianlin was really caught off guard when he heard his brother say that, it was different from what he thought.

Fortunately, people are fine.

"When did they go? Didn't they say when they would come back?" Cao Jianlin asked.

"Brother, when Shujie left, he said he would be back in ten days and half a month. Today is the fourth day."

He said: "If they come back, I will tell our father."

The two old brothers chatted for a while, then hung up the phone.

Cao Jianlin explained the situation to his two sons.

Neither Cao Shubin nor Cao Shuxin expected this to happen, and they were also very surprised.

But to be honest, in this respect, the two brothers are not as good as their cousins.

But this is also impossible.

Whether Cao Shubin works in a foreign company or as a purchasing manager, although the salary is not low, he has no freedom.

Cao Shuxin has been busy with his career for the past two years, and it is just the beginning stage, so he can't spare much time.

But thinking of what his cousin did for grandpa, Cao Shubin said: "When we bring grandpa back, the weather is warmer, so let's take some time to go out with grandpa."

"Okay, I have no problem." Cao Shuxin readily agreed.

Hearing what they said, Cao Jianlin felt very comforted.

At least nothing unfilial happened to their old Cao's family.

"Then just wait, there's no point in worrying now." Cao Jianlin finally said.
