When Shi Lei and his mother came back after biting their ears, Laura had already taken out all the gifts she had bought for her family.

The silver bracelet I bought for Shi Lei's mother, the cheongsam I bought for my sister, and the Tang costume I bought for my father all made them love it, and they kept praising Laura for thinking carefully.

Of course, the brother-in-law and the elf Guoguo have not been forgotten. For my brother-in-law, there is a top-of-the-line Apple MacPro workstation provided by Shi Lei, and there are a lot of software that my brother-in-law may use on Midi's side, of course, they are all original and genuine goods.

What was given to Guoguo was a few children's clothes made by Laura herself, and under Laura's ingenious design, the effect was definitely much better than that of the so-called big-name children's clothing.

"Thank you, Aunt Laura." Guoguo thanked her politely, but it still made Laura a little shy.

Dinner, according to the family tradition, is a table of sumptuous dishes prepared at home. However, when he was at home, Shi Lei's cooking skills were not enough, and it was still Shi Lei's mother and sister who cooked.

Laura also wanted to help, but asked her mother to stop her. Laura had no choice but to look at Shi Lei's home in the company of Shi Lei.

It should be said that this home is full of Chinese culture, and there is no shortage of calligraphy works in each bedroom and study. Of course, none of them were the works of Shi Lei's father, but were given by calligraphers who were familiar with him.

Dad's calligraphy level is actually very good, and often when he is free, he splashes ink in the study, although his reputation is not obvious, but he still has some influence in the local calligraphy circle, so there are so many other calligraphers' ink treasures.

The most valuable thing in the house is a lotus flower picture in the study that does not look very conspicuous. The author is a classmate of my father's, and because he works in a unit like a party school, he spends more time on creation. Today, the artist is a member of the National Association of Painters, and his works are often presented to foreign dignitaries as state gifts.

Laura is fascinated by the artistic atmosphere of Shi Lei's house and finds these things very attractive. And Shi Lei's character and temperament can be said to have been formed under such a subtle influence.

"Wow, the food cooked by my aunt and sister is so delicious, I originally thought that Shishi's cooking skills were already quite strong, but now I know that his cooking skills are only one of the worst in this family.

Auntie's level is not worse than that of many chefs in three-Michelin-starred restaurants. Laura genuinely praised her family's cooking skills.

This dinner made Laura understand why Shi Lei's cooking skills are so good, because there is an older mother who can teach him even better cooking.

"It's as good as you say." Mom said a few words modestly.

"But I usually go to the hotel where to eat the dishes, I can figure out how people do it by pondering it myself, and try to make it myself, and it tastes good, but what we make is not as good as the others."

Speaking of which, my mother is always full of pride. Shi Lei always felt that most of his foodie attributes were inherited from his mother.

"Do you still have to learn the cooking skills of the stone, and you can't get him in charge at home, that is, to help us start." When Shi Lei heard this, he could only look at his mother innocently.

"By the way, Mom and Dad, and my sister and brother-in-law, isn't it summer vacation, you all come with me to the ranch and have fun.

If Mom and Dad think it's appropriate, stay there for a long time. As for the language, you don't have to worry about it. You can live in a community with a large number of Chinese people, such as Arcadia.

Now the surrounding counties and cities are almost full of Chinese, so it is also very convenient to live there, and you can communicate directly in Chinese. Do you think it's good? ”

"It's okay for the whole family to have fun. During the summer vacation, everyone relaxes and lets Guoguo experience a different style. As for the question of past life, let's talk about it after the holidays. "Dad's words will be considered to have decided the outcome of this discussion.

After the discussion, Shi Lei and Laura went to sleep, of course, they both slept on the same bed very calmly.

The next day, the two of them got up refreshed early in the morning. Of course, Shi Lei has a super body element, and Laura is because Shi Lei has quietly strengthened a slight body element, and she is stronger than before, of course, there will be no change in appearance, because Laura's figure is very perfect.

But when they got up, Dad had already bought breakfast and came back. This is also a habit of his father Shi Yi, he always gets up early in the morning, goes out for a run and exercises, and goes to bring back breakfast by the way.

"Where, here are a few large bowls of beef grits and chicken grits that I brought back from the Yizhou Grits (here I don't pronounce shen but read sa, Yizhou's local specialty snacks, a bit similar to Hu spicy soup, but no chili peppers), I also bought a few freshly baked grilled brands and grilled fritters by the way, and also bought some freshly fried fritters. You two hurry up and wash it up, come over and eat it while it's hot. ”

Dad pointed to the breakfast that had been set on the table, and greeted Shi Lei and Laura.

"Oh, okay, we'll be right here." Shi Lei agreed, and pulled Laura back to the washing room of the master bedroom to clean himself up.

Laura praised these special breakfasts, especially the most famous grits in Yizhou, which made her have endless aftertastes, and patted her stomach a little indecently, indicating that she had eaten too much.

After breakfast, Shi Lei drove the family car and took Laura and his father to another community not far away to meet his sister's family.

Since my sister, brother-in-law and parents all have public offices, it is a lot of trouble to apply for going abroad, although they have started to apply for it a long time, but it has not yet been approved, so we have to wait a few days before we can return to the stone ranch together.

Today, everyone decided to go out collectively to look around the neighborhood, mainly to see the cultural attractions in Yizhou, and also let Laura know the hometown where Shi Lei was born and raised.

Of course, considering that I have seen a lot of mountain scenery in my recent trip, it may be tiring, so the first day of the trip to my hometown is arranged to be nearby, which is relatively relaxed.

The two families drove to the former residence of Shusheng not far from home, just in the center of the city, an antique Wei and Jin style garden, which is one of the eight views of Yizhou, and the Puzhao Temple, which is one of the eight views of Yizhou, has a variety of tablets that are very exquisite.

It took a morning for the family to take a look at the former residence. Coming out of the former residence, there is a large antique hotel not far away, Shusheng Hotel, lunch at noon, the family is solved here.

In fact, there is a small restaurant in the alley next to the former residence of Shusheng, although the façade is not big, and the decoration is not very good, but the fried chicken is very good, but the fried chicken here tastes good, but it is relatively spicy, and the father is worried that Laura will not be able to eat it, so he chose a high-end hotel with less obvious dishes.

After coming out of the hotel, everyone drove along the river, and all kinds of antique buildings and trees contrasted with each other.

Running along the riverside avenue on the east bank of the river, you will come to a super-large antique hot spring resort in Tangquan Town, where there are not only various characteristic hot springs of the thousand-year-old hot spring town, such as rose bath, milk bath, medicinal bath, etc., but also many new leisure facilities, such as saunas, spas, and large water parks.

Although it's summer, it's not as refreshing as a hot spring in winter, but due to the arrival of summer vacation, there is still no shortage of bears and their elders.

Shi Lei accompanied Laura to experience several characteristic hot spring baths, felt the service of kissing the fish, and then went to experience the Chinese medicinal bath and massage.

After completely relaxing, the two went to the outdoor water park to have fun with the bear children. Guoguo's laughter is always accompanied by the children, and the children are always enthusiastic about playing in the water.

In the afternoon, we had dinner in a very large garden on the side of the riverside avenue, and among all kinds of exquisite flowers and trees, there were several antique buildings with carved beams and paintings, and one of them was opened as a private restaurant.

After dinner, a large family came to an island in the middle of the river along a viaduct, where they watched a large-scale live water performance "Mengshan Yishui", where Shi Lei's former college students and many artists performed the past and present of Yizhou for everyone.

It is worth mentioning that the theme song of this performance was sung by a well-known female singer who is now the mother of the country, and the perfect combination of singing skills and lyrics fully demonstrates the humanistic customs of Yimeng, a hot land, and of course, it also shows the heritage and charm of Yizhou as a revolutionary old area in disguise.

After watching the performance, everyone embarked on the return journey with some unfinished business. Bidding farewell to his sister's family of three, Shi Lei pulled Laura and her parents home to rest.

When Shi Lei and Laura got up from the bed, their mother had already baked the egg cake made with flour and eggs (it is also called lazy cake in Yizhou, because the method is very lazy, as long as a few eggs are beaten in the flour, and after the reconciliation is completed, it will be good to put it directly in the pan or electric baking pan for a while), of course, Shi Lei's mother also added some ham sausage and minced onion to it when she made it, and the taste was absolutely first-class.

There is also porridge cooked with bean juice and cornmeal, which must be stirred constantly during the heating process, otherwise it is easy to run out of the pot (too much foam and emerge from the pot) or paste the pot, but under the exquisite skills of my mother, this porridge not only does not have any mistakes, but also makes it fragrant and delicious, and it is extremely smooth.

Finally, it is served with some eight-treasure tempeh, a local specialty of Yizhou mixed with green onions, as an appetizing pickle, and a simple and refreshing breakfast is considered to be alive. As a result, Laura couldn't stop eating again, and in the end, of course, she looked like she had eaten too much.

After breakfast, a new itinerary began, and today's goal was the reservoir contracted by my brother-in-law in his hometown of Mengxian County.
