Zhui Zhu Meng Xiang De Zhu
"Your grandpa is seriously ill and says he doesn't have much time left. He wants to see us, mother and son, with his own eyes before he leaves."
Chen Guilan looked complicated.
She could just pretend that she had never read the letters she had received in the past.
Who made the Yue family ignore her back then? It could even be said to be disgusting.
But when she saw this letter, Chen Guilan really couldn't turn a blind eye.
No matter what, he was Yue Hao's biological grandfather and Chen Guilan's father-in-law.
If she didn't fulfill the old man's wish before his death, she might not be able to face it when she went to see Yue Hao's father a hundred years later.
"Mom, I listen to you on this matter. If you want to go, our whole family can go with you."
Yue Hao looked at Chen Guilan.
"Mom, Ahao and I have the same idea. No matter what decision you make, we will support it."
Shen Xiaowen held her mother-in-law's hand and showed her true feelings.
"I went to visit your father's grave a few days ago. In the photo, he looked at me and didn't say anything, but I think he wanted us to visit my father-in-law's house."
"I thought it would be a good idea to go to the Magic City to avoid having to explain to your father later."
After all, Chen Guilan was not hard-hearted. In fact, when she decided to tell the matter, she had already made a decision in her heart.
"Mom, actually you should have told me earlier."
“At this point, it’s hard to buy train or plane tickets.”
Yue Hao smiled bitterly.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, everyone knows about the Spring Festival travels in China.
Moreover, transportation in this era was not as convenient as in later generations. There were no high-speed rails, only green trains.
Even if you look for scalpers, you may not be able to buy tickets.
As for air tickets, Huang Xiaojuan bought Yue Hao's ticket from Bacheng back to northern Shanxi several days in advance.
"Ahao, please call and ask. If we really can't buy a plane ticket, we can drive there."
"Anyway, I have a driver's license now, so it won't be tiring if two people take turns driving."
Shen Xiaowen got up and brought Yue Hao's eldest brother over.
It takes almost ten hours to drive from the capital of northern Shanxi Province to the magical city. The adults are actually fine, but the main problem is the child Tongtong.
If you can avoid driving, it's best not to.
Time flies and another two days pass.
Sure enough, even if Yue Hao's current status is extraordinary, he still can't get tickets for the Spring Festival travel rush.
It's New Year's Eve in the blink of an eye, and every household has put up festive Spring Festival couplets to welcome the Spring Festival.
Since he couldn't book tickets, Yue Hao and his family finally discussed and planned to drive to Shanghai in the early morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year to pay New Year's greetings to his grandfather.
Yue Hao also read the content of the letter. In fact, the content was very simple. It just said that he was seriously ill and he was afraid that he would not be able to live well for long. He wanted to see Yue Hao's mother and son before leaving.
As for other details, there was not much description. Yue Hao and his mother talked about it, and they both thought that the old man might be worried that the family would not go, and deliberately exaggerated the condition.
But I was too lazy to explore. After all, grandpa wrote so many letters before, but Chen Guilan didn't reply to any of them.
As I get older, I think about many things. It’s normal to be exaggerated if you want to meet Yue Hao and his mother.
"Dad, do you think Tongtong's buns look good?"
Tongtong ran over excitedly, holding the different-looking buns she had just made in both hands.
"It's so beautiful. The buns made by Tongtong must be delicious. Can I feed them to grandma later?"
Chen Guilan almost smiled crookedly. She picked up her granddaughter with a smile and couldn't help but scratch her nose.
"Grandma, Tongtong secretly told you that I secretly marked the bun where my mother put red dates. Look at the corner that turns up, it is the bun with red dates."
The little girl whispered into Chen Guilan's ear.
There is a custom here in northern Shanxi. Every New Year, both rich and poor families gather together to make steamed buns.
In order to symbolize good luck in the coming year, a red date is placed in one of the buns.
Whoever eats that red date symbolizes good luck in the coming year.
But the little girl obviously didn't know how to keep a secret, and her voice was a little loud, but Yue Hao could hear it clearly.
This made him a little dumbfounded. This girl of his was really a clever little girl. According to his personality, she liked to cheat and play tricks in everything she did.
"Brother-in-law, let's take a family photo together later."
Shen Xiaoyue holds a camera in her hand. Recently, she has participated in many clubs at school, reciting, drawing and taking photos, and her personality has become more and more cheerful.
Of course, this is inseparable from financial support, but Yue Hao lacks everything now, except money, so he can naturally support his sister-in-law to pursue more of the things she likes.
"Okay, we will take a family photo every year at this time from now on."
Yue Hao recalled that when he was first reborn, Xiaoyue's condition had not yet been cured and she was still a little silly.
At that time, this little girl ran from Dahe Village to Ping'an County, invited the owner of the county photo studio back, and took a family photo for their family.
After all, this is the second family photo they took together.
In this life, his life is more meaningful than in the previous life, not only in terms of money, but more importantly, in terms of family.
Yue Hao hopes to record all these precious moments, which are very memorable.
I looked at my daughter laughing and playing with her mother, my wife clearing the table, and my sister-in-law playing with the camera.
Yue Hao smiled, very happily.
This is the feeling of home, a precious experience that no amount of money can buy.
Chen Guilan looked complicated.
She could just pretend that she had never read the letters she had received in the past.
