Chapter 41: Surprises

"Daddy, the train is about to leave, you can go back quickly."

Li Dong said to Li's father through the window that at this time, the family was either going to school or selling vegetables, but Li's father was more free in time and sent all the way to Chining City.

"I know, take good care of grandma and them, and there are little girls to take care of." Father Li still couldn't help but admonish.

"Daddy, occasionally obedient ......"

"Click, click, click......"

The train started, and Father Li followed the train for more than a dozen steps, and finally disappeared from everyone's eyes. Because of the elderly, Li Dong bought all the sleeper tickets this time, which was much more comfortable than last time.

"Woo, woo, woo......"

Unexpectedly, when we were separated just now, we were still talking and laughing, but now I am crying. Lu Xiumei pulled the little girl into her arms and comforted her in a whisper, and her grandmother also helped coax her.

Li Dong still knows the little girl best, and took out a tomato and stuffed it into her hand. The little girl finally reacted, and her crying became much quieter, sobbing and nibbling on the tomatoes.

The trip was smooth, there was no bad weather, and the train arrived in Jiang'an City on time. Because it is a sleeper, grandpa and grandpa are in good spirits, and there are talking and laughing after getting off the bus.

"Dongzi, this capital is really prosperous, you look at those high-rise buildings, there must be at least dozens of floors. Look at the cars, one after the other, as if there is no end. Lu Xiumei felt that her eyes didn't know where to look, as if she had entered another world.

"A-Niang, the capital has a population of more than 6 million, of course, there is a lot of everything, just get used to it."

"Old woman, don't say it, this road is much smoother and wider than in our city." Grandpa is also expressing his opinion.

Suddenly, Li Dong pointed to a long wall and introduced it to everyone: "Grandma, look at it, that is the famous Jiang'an wall. Well, majestic, he is more than 200 kilometers long, made of reinforced concrete, and even cannons can't penetrate it. ”

"Wow, it's so tall and long, big fruit, I want to go up there and have a look." The little girl said immediately.

"Well, that's a military restricted area, and your eldest brother doesn't have that ability." Li Dong knocked the little girl's head, he didn't want to be shot.

"Okay, Xiao Wu, don't make trouble, let's hurry up and eat, didn't you say you were hungry a long time ago?" Lu Xiumei stopped the brother and sister who were fighting with each other.

got into a taxi, the address was still the same chain hotel last time, and Li Dong had a good image of it. When he came to the "family world", Li Dong asked for two double rooms and a single room, and his grandmother's suggestion was to live separately for men and women, so that a single room could be saved, but he vetoed it, comfort is the most important.

Putting down his luggage, Li Dong took his family to the hotel's restaurant, where he only had two simple breakfasts last time, and he didn't know how it tasted.

chose a seat by the window, and the little girl liked to look at the bright neon lights outside the window the most. The waiter quickly served tea, and Li Dong handed the menu to his grandmother and asked her to pick a few dishes she liked.

"Dongzi, you can order it yourself, try to choose some cheaper, grandma is dazzled, but you can't see this menu clearly." Grandma refused the menu, and Grandpa followed suit.

Li Dong looked at A-Niang again, and A-Niang also shook her head and let herself be the master. The little girl was shouting to order food, but she couldn't read, so forget it.

"Well, let's have a braised pork first, then a scrambled egg with leeks, minced eggplant, and finally a stewed crucian carp, and the main food is rice. That's all, you try to hurry. Li Dong ordered a few home-cooked dishes, the most special is the stewed crucian carp, fresh fish is very rare in Ping'an City.

"Yes, sir, please wait a minute." The waiter memorized the name of the dish and went down.

"Dongzi, it's too much, I can't eat it and waste it." Grandma complained.

"It's okay, grandma, there are not many portions of each dish here, I guarantee that I can finish it." In fact, it is somewhat similar to the previous life, the more high-end the restaurant, the smaller the portions.

The speed of the restaurant was really fast, and in less than half an hour, all the dishes were ready. The taste is OK, a bit of a home-cooked feeling, everyone's favorite is the stewed crucian carp, and the little girl drank two large bowls of crucian carp soup alone.

In the end, there was still a little leftovers, mainly because the fish soup was so delicious that everyone couldn't help but drink a few more bowls. Grandma was distressed when she saw it, and Li Dong had no choice but to ask the waiter to pack it and prepare it for lunch at noon tomorrow.

"Sir, it's 25 bucks in total." The waiter billed the bill.

Fortunately, it's not too expensive, although Ah Niang and they said that it was expensive, and they would never come again next time. Li Dong paid the money, took the lunch box and took everyone back to the room, and then taught his grandmother that they used the faucet and water heater. Of course, according to him, the water is free, otherwise they would not even touch it.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, Li Dong and his party came to Dongying Wharf, where the boats that delivered supplies to the Yangming community departed. Li Dong found the captain with a letter of introduction from Team Leader Zhou, and finally boarded the cargo ship.

"Dongzi, this lake is so big, how much water does it have to be?" Grandma was very surprised when she saw such a big paste for the first time.

"Grandma, this is Gaoyou Lake, hundreds of square kilometers. Don't look at this big lake, but this water is under the jurisdiction of the government, do you see the circle of barbed wire on the shore? That's what you use to prevent others from stealing water. Li Dong explained, there are many people in the lake, and there is a shortage of water.

"At that time, of course, your grandmother and I were so old, and I didn't hear of any place where water could be used casually." Grandma looks like a matter of course, if she is allowed to return to her previous life, she will probably die happily.

"Dongzi, is your house far away from here?" Lu Xiumei looked at the big lake and couldn't imagine how big it was.

"It's okay, it's about an hour away."

"It's not far away, no wonder they all run to the capital, just this Gaoyou Lake, you don't have to worry about water for the rest of your life." Lu Xiumei's tone was very sour, like there is Baidang Lake in Ping'an City, which is okay, and the water is tight for a year.

The hovercraft was changed halfway, and the transfer of goods was delayed for more than half an hour. At ten o'clock, Li Dong and the others finally came to Yangming Community, and it was the first time for Lu Xiumei to see so many retro-style houses, which was so beautiful.

Grandpa is also very satisfied, this place is like paradise, to be able to live in such a house, it is worth it for a lifetime. The little girl looked at these houses with big eyes, although she didn't understand it very well, but she still felt very good-looking.

When I came to my new home, the interior had been renovated, the workers were sweeping up the garbage, and the whole house looked brand new. Designer Wang saw Li Dong and hurriedly greeted him.

"Boss Li, I guess you should have arrived, these are your family members."

Li Dong nodded yes, and then introduced his family to Designer Wang one by one, and greeted each other.

"A-Niang, you guys go up first, see what is still missing in the room, I still have some chores to deal with here." Li Dong pointed to the location of the staircase.

"Okay, then we'll go up first." After speaking, he took his father and mother to the second floor.
