Chapter 56: A Trip to Beijing
The fifth uncle left in a hurry without dinner, and when he left, he told his grandfather that the whole family would not be left behind. Grandpa smiled and said, "Got it." ”
When the whole family had dinner in the evening, the grandfather said: "Everyone knows, Xiao Wu asked our whole family to go to Beijing and treat the two children by the way." If you have any opinions and ideas, please share them. ”
My father said: "The factory has a New Year holiday, and it will start after 15, so we have no problem with time." ”
Grandpa said to Aunt Yan again: "Your store is also arranged, can the third girl come by herself?"
Aunt Yan fed Meimei nutritious porridge with a small spoon, and said, "Dad, don't worry, now the fourth sister can also help." ”
Grandpa Zhang said: "I won't go with my old arms and legs, you all go to my house." ”
Grandpa and father persuaded the old man to go to see the capital of our country together, and the old man said that he didn't want to bother everyone, so he was still at home. Grandpa also knew the old man's stubborn temper, and after persuading him a few times, he agreed, saying that everything at home was ready-made, and he could eat everything.
Yan Gu said: "When the time comes, Zhang Ye will go to my house for dinner, and one person in the province will cook by himself, so don't worry about this." ”
Everyone chatted while eating, discussing the situation on the road and after arriving in Beijing, and making various plans.
I also told my 'twin brother' the bastard as soon as possible, and the bastard pestered his father and mother to say that he was going too, and I also helped the bastard to intercede.
The father and mother couldn't resist the two of us, and his father smiled and said, "On the first day of junior high school, then you have to ask your grandparents if they are willing." ”
Without hesitation, I replied, "Definitely yes!"
Amid the sound of firecrackers, the new year came, and the air was filled with the smell of gunsmoke. The happiest of those days belonged to us children.
In fact, in my heart, what I have always looked forward to the most is a trip to Beijing, and I even dreamed of Tiananmen Square that was often broadcast on TV when I went to bed at night.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, my grandfather received a distant call from the second aunt and the third aunt to pay New Year's greetings, and the fifth uncle also called, first to my grandparents to greet the New Year, and then told my grandfather that the vehicle had been connected, and we came to pick us up at eight o'clock in the morning on the seventh day of the new year, so that we could get ready, and he would not come to pick us up, he was waiting for us in the capital, and let us listen to the assistant on the road, and the assistant would arrange everything.
Early in the morning of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, my son and I woke up early, and watched my grandmother and mother busy with the family's breakfast, so we ran to the walnut forest to find Sister Xiaoru.
At eight o'clock, the assistant appeared at my door on time, and our family of more than ten people had already been packed, and they all followed the car, which was a medium-sized bus, which could accommodate about 20 people, and our family sat on it and seemed very spacious. The car waited for us to sit down and set off slowly.
Along the way, we didn't care about the scenery along the way, chatting in the car, and only the uncle was silent and silent.
After a light lunch, the car was on the highway. The assistant saw the car on the highway, looked at his watch, and said to everyone: "If there is no traffic jam on the road, it will arrive at about half past six, you should also seize the time to rest for a while, and watch the night view of Beijing at night, it is very beautiful." ”
After speaking, I picked up Big Brother and called and told the fifth uncle about the approximate time of our arrival.
When the lanterns first appeared, we entered the capital with many high-rise buildings. It's really like the assistant said, the night view of the capital is very beautiful.
The car drove on the wide and bright roads of Beijing, and the festive Beijing was full of lights, and the atmosphere of the New Year was everywhere. Looking out the window at the colorful neon lights and at the endless stream of vehicles, I felt like my eyes were running out.
As the car progresses, more towering high-rise buildings continue to come into view, which is simply dizzying.
In addition to the assistant and driver in the car, all of us are coming to the capital Beijing for the first time, many of us are coming to the bustling big city for the first time, more than a dozen of us have more than a dozen pairs of eyes, all of them are constantly looking outward, no one is talking, no one is talking, everyone is really like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden for the first time, everything is fresh, everything is novel, to put it mildly, it is a car of 'soil buns' for the first time to enter the city. My sister simply stood up, her two big eyes fluttering, looking to the left and the right for a while.
Kang Kang was hugged by his mother next to his sister against the car window, his squinting eyes were also staring out of the window, and he pointed at something from time to time.
For the first time, Beijing has left its own impression in everyone's heart.
The only one in the car who didn't look around was the uncle, wrong, and the other one was Meimei. At this moment, Meimei is sleeping beautifully in her uncle's arms.
In the dark car, I could see that everyone's eyes were shining, and I looked at the uncle carefully, and at this moment the uncle had a wooden expression, looking like he didn't care about himself. Soon, my attention was drawn to another round of fresh scenery outside the window.
The car drove for nearly an hour on the countless roads of Beijing, and the view of the festive and beautiful capital attracted our family. When the car turned into the parking lot of a hotel, we all saw the fifth uncle standing at the door of the parking lot and waving to us.
As soon as the car stopped at the door, the fifth uncle stepped into the car with an arrow step, shouting: "Dad, mother, everyone is tired all the way, right? Come, hurry up and get out of the car, let's eat first, and rest after eating, I have arranged it." ”
At this moment, the fifth uncle is full of healthy youth, dressed in fashionable clothes, and has an incomparably bright smile on his face.
Grandpa said: "Oh, Beijing is really far away, this way has been walking for a day, not tired, not tired." ”
Everyone greeted the fifth uncle, and the fifth uncle guided us out of the car, and the fifth uncle took Meimei, who had just woken up in a daze, from the uncle's arms, and looked at her in a daze, the fifth uncle smiled and gently kissed her pink little face.
The fifth uncle hugged Meimei and walked forward with her grandparents talking, and a group of us followed, and the palatial hotel made us look around.
More than a dozen of us followed Uncle Fifth to a very large and bright box on the second floor, where a middle-aged couple was also waiting for our arrival.
The fifth uncle introduced to his grandfather and said, "Dad, these are my father and mother. ”
Grandpa's thick hands held the middle-aged man's hands, and the two of them greeted each other. Then the fifth uncle introduced us to his parents one by one. The uncle was the last to be introduced, and the fifth uncle led the uncle to his father, and said very solemnly: "Dad, this is the fourth brother, the fourth brother who pulled me back from the edge of the cliff." ”
The fifth uncle's father hurriedly pulled the uncle's right hand with both hands, held it tightly in his mouth and said busily: "Thank you Xiaosi, thank Xiaosi." ”
The uncle's face was still dull just now, but the moment his hand was held, his face became slightly smiling.
The fifth uncle hugged Meimei and said to his mother, "Mom, is Meimei beautiful?"
The fifth uncle's mother hugged Meimei over, looked at Meimei carefully, Meimei slept all the way, and at this time, she looked at the fifth uncle and mother who was holding her with wide eyes.
The assistant hurriedly beckoned everyone to sit down and talk, and when everyone was seated, he went out and busily asked the waiter to serve the food.
The fifth uncle prepared a beautifully packaged liquor, and the waiter next to him was going to pour wine for everyone, and the grandfather was busy saying, the wine was not drunk, and he took a day in the car today, and he had a meal and rested early.
The fifth uncle and father said: "Brother, when we meet for the first time, why do we have to drink two glasses, and we can't have a banquet without wine." ”
Grandpa said, "Then let's just drink a little." ”
Soon, the delicate delicacies were sent to the table in turn, and then with the huge round table turntable to everyone, the grandfather and the fifth uncle and father were chatting, and the fifth uncle urged everyone to eat quickly, hurry up.
Looking at the carefully prepared dishes, and being put into exquisite shapes by the chef, we almost didn't know how to move the chopsticks, and didn't want to spoil the exquisite shape of the dishes, plus the first time we sat in such a luxurious private room to eat, we all carefully put a small piece in our mouths and chewed slowly, although everyone's stomachs are now hungry.
Uncle may also be really hungry, the table is full of people are eating in small bites, but Uncle, Aunt Yan put a piece of food into the bowl for him, after touching him lightly, Uncle picked up the small bowl with the spoon brought from home, and ate it, but it turned out that it was a small piece of food that was sent to the mouth, I was very close to the uncle, and I clearly heard the crisp sound of the spoon colliding with the small porcelain bowl.
The fifth uncle had a keen eye, and soon found everyone's restraint, so he stood up with a smile and came to the uncle, reached out and picked up a dish from the table and used chopsticks to dial a little bit of the uncle's small bowl, and then picked up another dish and dialed some, and soon the uncle's small bowl was half a bowl of dishes, and then said to Yan Gu: "Little sister-in-law, you just give the fourth brother to eat, the fourth brother is already hungry, don't be polite." ”
He then said to everyone: "Everyone is free to eat, they are all family, so there is nothing to be ashamed of." Just like at home, if you don't have enough food, don't be intimidated. Everyone's slightly nervous and reserved attitude slowly relaxed, and the speed of eating slowly accelerated.
The bastard and I looked at each other and began to gobble it up.
Everyone was chatting while eating, and the atmosphere was lively!
The fifth uncle said to his grandfather: "I have made an appointment with the doctor, and tomorrow morning I will take Kangkang and Meimei to the brain department, Meimei to surgery, and Kangkang to the Academy of Fine Arts in the afternoon." You don't need so many people to go to the hospital, it's enough for me and my sister-in-law and my sister-in-law to go to the zoo tomorrow, let my parents accompany you to see the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace, and take the first day of junior high school, the eggs and Dandan to the zoo to play. ”
