Chapter Twenty-Six: Returning Home

At 8:15 a.m. on July 19th, our tour group followed Yang Chuxia's tour guide and took an air-conditioned bus to the airport to prepare for returning home.

We boarded the plane separately and waved goodbye to Yang Chuxia's tour guide.

Xu Lixue and I sat down according to the plane ticket number and buckled our seat belts.

"Gao Qidao, today we will go home separately. Xu Lixue looked at my face and said.

"Yes, I'll go back. I straightened my collar, "I'm going home too." I haven't been home in a long time. My parents must have missed me. ”

"Do you miss me?" asked Xu Lixue in a low voice.

"No, it won't. "I pretended no, but I was actually trying to tease her.

Xu Lixue hurriedly asked, "Why?"

"Because I'm too busy to think about you. "My eyes are looking up.

Xu Lixue heard me say this, with a depressed expression, "Okay." ”

"I must miss you!" I sat by the window and stretched out my right hand to hold Xu Lixue's left hand, "Silly girl, I'm teasing you!"

"I'll beat you up later. Xu Lixue bit her lip lightly and clenched her fists.

I lowered my forehead, "The Queen spares her life." ”

Xu Lixue and I lay on the seats of the plane and fell asleep in a daze.

When Xu Lixue and I heard the sound of the announcement, the plane was ready to start landing at the airport.

"Xu Lixue, wake up. I shook Xu Lixue's shoulder with my right hand.

"What's wrong with you?" Xu Lixue fell asleep in a daze.

"We're getting off the plane. ”

"Oh. Xu Lixue straightened her chest from her seat.

Xu Lixue and I walked off the plane together. I helped Xu Lixue pull the lever of the suitcase, and the round wheel rolled on the ground with a clattering sound......

"When you go home in the future, I'm not by your side, you have to learn to take care of yourself. ”

"I know!

"I have good news for you. ”

"What's the good news?"

"Tomorrow is my birthday. Xu Lixue smiled happily.

"Tomorrow?"

"What's wrong with you?" Xu Lixue's eyes widened in a daze, "Aren't you free tomorrow?"

"My classmates asked me to help him move. ”

"Moving, when will the move end?"

"I don't understand either. ”

"Are you still on my birthday?"

"I'm sure I'm going to attend! Where is your birthday?"

"I want to celebrate my birthday at a coffee shop and listen to music while drinking coffee, which is good. ”

Xu Lixue and I walked out of the gate of the airport and stood on the side of the road and waved.

There was a red taxi on the opposite side of the road, and the driver sitting in the car saw me raising his hand and shaking it and drove the car slowly over......

I approached the window and said to the driver, "Master, can you put the trunk in the suitcase?"

"Yes. The driver readily agreed.

I moved the suitcase into the trunk of the taxi with both hands, put it flat and steady, and explained to Xu Lixue: "You come home safely, remember to call me." ”

"Hmm. Xu Lixue nodded.

I put my suitcase away, opened the taxi door, and said, "Get in." ”

Xu Lixue lowered her head and bent down into the car, and waved her hand out of the window, "Bye-bye!"

"Goodbye!"

I looked at Xu Lixue's car ride away before I was willing to board a yellow bus. Sometimes, I like to take the bus, maybe it's a habit I developed when I was at school. If you're pressed for time, take a taxi, or if you're not in a hurry, take the bus. Taking the bus can not only save money, but also be lively, pay attention to the people and things around you, you can learn a lot of sophistication.

I took the bus home, put down my heavy suitcase as soon as I entered the house, took a break, and felt a lot more relaxed and relieved on my arms.

I walked into the kitchen and smelled the smell of stir-frying. Mother had already cooked a rich meal waiting for me. On the table, there are pork bones and lotus root soup, fried bitter gourd with prawns, sweet and sour pork ribs, etc., which make people salivate.

"Qidao, is it fun for you to travel to Thailand?" asked the mother with concern.

"Thailand is fun. I pulled a chair a little away from the round table and sat down, "Mom, you're cooking so much tonight." ”

"I knew you were going home, so I bought more groceries. ”

"Where's Daddy?"

He said he drove to the supermarket to buy alcohol. ”

"I told my dad to quit drinking. He still drinks a lot. ”

"Your dad can't quit drinking. ”

"Why?"

"Because your dad is addicted to drinking, he's been drinking for years. ”

"Drinking two taels of wine is good for the body and can improve blood circulation. If you indulge in alcohol, it is harmful to your body. Especially drunk, it's not good for the stomach. ”

"Now I've locked your dad's liquor in the cabinet and only give him a small amount of liquor every day. ”

"Yes, you have to control the amount of alcohol he drinks, just in moderation. ”

"Your dad thought there was no alcohol today, so he went to the supermarket to buy alcohol. In fact, there is still half a bottle of liquor in the cabinet. ”

"Baijiu has a high alcohol content. Really don't let him drink too much liquor. ”

The father walked into the house with a bottle of Lao Baigan in his hand, smiling, "Qidao, how about you go to Thailand?"

"Thailand is very fun, there are many Buddhist temples and there are a lot of foreign tourists. ”

"Well, let's have dinner. My father picked up his chopsticks and prepared to pick up the dishes.

Half an hour later, my parents and I had a full dinner.

"Mom, I'll help you wash the dishes today. ”

"No, I'll do my own dishes. ”

"Then I'll go downstairs to the courtyard and water the flowers. ”

"I've already watered the flowers and plants during the day today. Mother said as she cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks.

Since my trip to Thailand, the rockery fish pond in the courtyard of my home has not been fed with goldfish for a while.

"Dad, have you fed goldfish lately?"

"I feed the goldfish once a day. ”

Before I left for my trip to Thailand, I was worried that the plants would wilt without watering and the goldfish would starve to death without feeding. As a result, both parents did a good job.

That night, I was too tired from flying and driving during the day. As soon as I lay down in bed late at night, I fell asleep.

Another day passed......

At 7:30 p.m. on July 20, I took a comfortable warm shower, changed into new clothes and went out on the street......

I thought it would take some time to make the cake, so I planned to go to the cake shop to order a cake for Xu Lixue first, then go to the supermarket to buy a box of Dove chocolates, then go to the flower shop to buy a rose, and finally return to the cake shop to get the cake.

When I walked into the door of the Hee Welfare Cake Shop, I saw a transparent glass display case full of neat and orderly cakes, including ice cream flavored cakes, fruit-flavored cakes, chocolate-flavored cakes, etc., with a variety of flavors, which made people dazzled, and I didn't know which cake to choose.

"Hello, welcome!" the waitress in the red blouse greeted me warmly and proactively.

"Good evening, I would like to order a birthday cake. ”

"What size cake would you like to order?" the waitress handed me a cake size chart.

"I don't have to order a big cake, it's enough for two people. ”

I took a closer look at the cake size chart and said, "I want 6 inches and 15 centimeters in diameter." ”

"What flavor do you want?"

I think girls should like to eat fruit flavors, and they can be beautiful, "I want fruit flavors." ”

"When are you going to pick up your cake?"

"An hour later, I'll come and get the cake. ”

"45 yuan. ”

"Okay. I took off my backpack, took out my black rectangular purse, took out 50 yuan from it and handed it to the waitress.

The waitress quickly used a ballpoint pen to write the date, cake size and price, and the time of pick-up on the receipt book, "This is the receipt, please take it." ”

"Okay. ”

"I'll look for you for 5 yuan. ”

"Thank you. ”

"You're welcome. ”

"Goodbye. ”

I walked to a large Walmart supermarket, walked into the supermarket door, and felt a cool air conditioner.

I climbed the ramp-style escalator with a little boy in front of me, and when I turned my head, there was a couple behind me, and the elevator was slowly ascending......

I found Dove chocolates on the white shelves, walked to the cashier and lined up, the cashier was busy scanning the code, the crowd was crowded, and the queue of customers was like a long queue.

After I bought the Dove chocolate, I went to the Seven Colors Flower Shop and bought a rose.

This rose has crimson petals on the top, turquoise leaves, spikes on the branches, and a purple ribbon flower tied in the middle of the translucent morning mist plastic film, which looks delicate and beautiful.

I came to the agreed address, the Ailan Coffee Shop.

The entrance of the Ailan Coffee Shop is full of all kinds of bonsai, large and small, a pot of spider plants hangs by the window on the wall, and a small blackboard is placed on the right side of the door, on which the names of today's recommended snacks are written in colorful chalk.

When I walked into the coffee shop, I heard a beautiful piece of music – Beethoven's "To Alice".

The melody of this song is beautiful and moving, like the whispers of lovers, the bass keeps going, and the rhythm gradually increases from slow to fast, like a burning love. It's heart-wrenching.

I sat down on the soft earthy sofa and waited for Xu Lixue's arrival......
