195 Trip to Jiangzhou
The penultimate day of Golden Week.
The Internet is really a great invention, talk about video practice speaking, the night is not so difficult, three days in a flash of fulfillment and pleasure.
"Smack!"
Unscrew the door lock and return to your home in Jiangzhou.
The house was deserted and empty.
Send a message to An An: "I'm in Jiangzhou." β
A few minutes later I received a reply: "We're almost there too." β
One: Go to the Han Culture Park to shoot first?
Nani: yes, I'll have some news for you.
One: Okay.
An An wanted to contact him when he was done, but he couldn't wait for that time, so he took a shower and went out.
Jiangzhou Han Cultural Scenic Area is located in Jiangzhou City, Jiangnan Province, Terracotta Warriors and Horses Avenue, the whole scenic spot from the third ring road in the east, to Longhai in the south, to the Beijing-Shanghai line in the west, and to the camel mountain in the north.
Shen Yize has been here in junior high school, and he still has some impressions of the Mausoleum of the King of Chu and the Han Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum.
Buy a ticket to enter the park.
During the holiday season, there are a lot more tourists than usual, and it is lively, but it is not to the point of exaggeration.
The area of the scenic spot is not large, and the normal tour can be seen in two to three hours, and the abnormal tour - such as Shen Yize's horse-and-horse fancy tour that focuses on finding people and is supplemented by sightseeing, is about half an hour enough.
After walking around for most of the circle, I finally found the traces of An An and his party in Zhulin Temple.
They were discussing something, Shen Yize didn't bother her, just glanced at it from a distance, and then went out of the park, found a quiet teahouse near the leisure square, and waited for her news while looking through the information in the circle.
Nani: I'm done! Where are you?
One: Do you know that there is a leisure square outside the scenic spot? I'm right around here.
Nani: You're here?
Nani: I know there, come right here [Hop Hop]
The leisure square is located outside the scenic area, and it is easy to find it by walking east for a while out of the gate.
Shen Yize walked from the teahouse to the door.
Approaching eight o'clock, the sky is already dark, the wide road is lined with trees full of lights, the square at the end of the road is as bright as day, and in the center of the square stands the majestic bronze statue of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, holding a sword and looking into the distance.
From afar, I heard the sound of music, laughter, and slapstick, and when I got closer, I saw the lively scene in the square.
This flat, bright open space is obviously a favorite leisure place for the residents of the neighborhood, from square dance aunts in their fifties and sixties, to crazy running teenagers in their sevens and eights, couples and young couples strolling hand in arm, and young men and women playing ball, walking, and street dancing.
And, of course, his An An approaching him from the chaotic crowd.
Shen Yize opened his arms and asked her for a hug.
Yang Jiu'an glanced at him and didn't say anything, just meekly leaned into his arms.
He bowed slightly, pressed her face to the side, and hugged her soft body tightly.
"Have you eaten?"
He whispered in her ear.
"No, I'll wait for you with my stomach."
"Then I'll take you to something delicious."
"Okay, then I'm going to eat it open."
"No problem, anyway, I'll go back to Jiangnan tomorrow, and I can accompany you to exercise."
The two walked hand in hand, blending perfectly into the scene.
Yang Jiu'an asked, "When did you come?" β
Shen Yize said truthfully: "I came in the afternoon, and I went in to take a look at you." β
"You see me? Why don't you call me? β
"You're at work, of course I can't bother you. I just miss you so much, I want to see you soon, and I feel relieved to see you. β
She smiled and squeezed his hand tighter.
Walked to the parking lot, got in the car, and drove to the restaurant he had already booked.
"The most distinctive feature of this place in Jiangzhou is the pot dish, this shop is very old, since I was in elementary school, I began to make pot chicken, more than ten or twenty years, the boss has not changed, the taste has not changed, every time I go home, my parents will take me to eat once......"
After ordering, Shen Yize introduced the history of this shop, there are many childhood memories of the original body, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the taste of childhood, but this memory does not belong to him, so he did not talk in detail.
"It's very fragrant!"
Yang Jiu'an looked at the steaming pot chicken on the adjacent table, but he couldn't eat it, so he could only swallow saliva.
After a day's walk, she was really hungry, so hungry that she felt like she could eat a whole chicken.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
Her eyes were locked on the waiter who came with an iron pot, and her eyes shone like foodies.
When the dish is served, the lid of the pot is lifted, and I see that the chicken in the pot is dyed sauce color, and the side of the pot is pasted with cakes, and the aroma of meat, cake, and sauce immediately overflows with the heat.
She eagerly put a piece of stewed chicken in her mouth, and then picked up a cake full of soup and devoured it.
The cake borrows the flavor of the vegetable, and the vegetable borrows the flavor of the cake, and she soon found that it tasted better when the two were eaten together.
Shen Yize looked at her with a gentle expression, and he didn't specifically ask her if it was delicious, because her satisfied look and unpretentious eating appearance had already told him the answer.
Seeing her eat so deliciously, he didn't hold back when he originally planned to control his diet, and he was taken by her on the way to eat and drink.
Filling her stomach, Yang Jiu'an finally came back to life, she stroked her slightly swollen belly and sighed: "This cake is so fragrant, I seem to have eaten four or five sheets?" What should I do, I can eat so much, I will definitely become a chubby girl in the future. β
"It's still a chubby girl, I haven't seen you in the past few days, you've lost a lot of weight, you look overworked, you should eat more to make up."
"Really? Am I really thin? β
"Of course!" Shen Yize didn't think about it, "I still had a little flesh when I hugged you last time, but I really didn't feel any fat when I hugged you just now." β
She smiled: "Last time I finished recording the show, I grew seven or eight pounds, can I not get fat?" It's good to have it down. β
Both of them were a little supportive, and they didn't rush to leave, sitting and chatting with each other.
"Do you want to wake up early tomorrow?"
He asked.
"Well, start work early and finish filming early, and you have to do post-production when you go back."
"This kind of promotional video is only a few minutes long, so it shouldn't be difficult in the later stage, right?"
"The workload is definitely smaller, and it's really not difficult, but it's more cumbersome. You think, although the film is only a few minutes, we shoot for hours, or even more than a dozen hours. And this kind of project is completely decided by Party A, once the other party is nitpicking, then it has to keep reworking and redoing, which is quite torturous. β
"By the way," Yang Jiu'an suddenly remembered something: "I forgot to ask you, why did you suddenly think of learning English?" β
She looked at him, without blinking. There must be a reason for it, and she guesses that most of the reasons are related to herself.
Shen Yize knew her thoughts, and asked with a smile: "You don't think I learned it for you, right?" β
"Isn't it?"
He shook his head solemnly: "No, I'm just studious,"
Yang Jiu'an snorted and swore an analysis: "I don't know you yet?" It must be because I heard that I was going back to London for my graduation ceremony, and you want to accompany me, so you learned English on purpose, right? β
Shen Yize laughed and said, "Director Yang, did you do it on purpose?" Originally, I didn't plan to go with you, but if you say that, I can't go now. β
"You don't pretend to be sentimental, I'm not inviting you, I'm just analyzing realistically. You just say I'm right, right? β
"Yes and no."
She tilted her head, confused.
He explained, "I want to accompany you to London, but learning English isn't for thatβ"
He added fuel and vinegar to Jiang Yining's song on YouTube, and the company's preparation to expand overseas business, emphasizing the company's future planning and layout, highlighting his foresight and precautions.
After speaking, he waited for her to give a praise and reaction like a fan girl.
Yang Jiu'an sighed with a fascination on his face: "Wow, the goddess is so powerful!" β
ββ¦β¦β
Shen Yize said angrily: "I said so much, you only remember Sister Ning?" β
"Oh, I don't understand anything else, anyway, no matter what you want to do, I support you!"
"Verbal support is too insincere, I want to see you in action."
Seeing that he was smiling inappropriately, Yang Jiuan asked vigilantly, "For example?" β
"Give me an encouraging kiss, like that."
"Get out!"
It was late at night, and there were no pedestrians on the road.
In a small third- and fourth-tier city like Jiangzhou, the pace of life is very slow, and there are almost no migrant workers who leave early and return late here, and there are few sports cars with their headlights roaring.
The two walked along the quiet street to eat.
Shen Yize pointed to the old-fashioned residential area not far away and said: "My house is in that community, and they are all here, do you want to go up and sit down?" β
"Don't!"
Yang Jiuan flatly refused.
He added: "My parents are not here. β
She said meaningfully, "Then you can't go." β
Shen Yize was stunned for a moment, and said with a dumb smile: "What are you afraid of, just drink tea and chat, I won't eat you again." β
Yang Jiuan only said: "I'm not going." β
He can understand An An's concerns, although he thinks he is a righteous gentleman, but in the middle of the night, lonely men and widows, whether he can hold it or not, he doesn't dare to pack the ticket.
He was not reluctant, and changed the topic and said: "This area is a school district, and my elementary, junior and senior high schools are all near here, so I'll show you there." β
Following the route of memory, he led her through the schools that he was very impressed by but actually visited for the first time. The campus gates have long been closed, and the various kiosks, bookstores, copy shops, and restaurants that have opened in front of the school have also closed, and the alleys are deep and quiet, except for the dim street lamps and two long figures.
"I have to go back to the hotel, I have to wake up early tomorrow."
Yang Jiu'an looked at the time, ten o'clock had passed, although she still wanted to take his hand and walk the road he had walked, but she was not here to travel after all, so she would not forget the business.
"Okay, I'll send you back."
Shen Yize agreed simply, he inherited the memory of the original body, and these places can be regarded as having a relationship with him, but after all, it is not his real past, and he is not so eager for her to understand.
The next morning, as soon as I got up, I received a call from my mother.
As soon as it was connected, my mother greeted her cordially: "Have you gotten up?" Have you eaten breakfast? When will you go back to Gangnam? β
Shen Yize patiently replied: "I got up, I was about to have breakfast, and I will go back in the evening." β
My mother said, "We are waiting for the flight, and your father said that if you go back to Jiangnan, we will go to your house first-"
Dad's muffled voice: "I didn't say it!" β
Mom smiled, ignored Dad, and continued: "-Since you are in Jiangzhou, forget it." β
Shen Yize asked: "Did you fly to Jiangnan first, and then transfer to the high-speed rail?" β
"Yes."
"Why don't I drive you to the airport and pick you up?"
"Don't! How tiring it is to run back and forth like this! We have already bought our tickets, and the high-speed rail is very fast, and it will arrive in an hour. Aren't you going to cook? Just be careful not to blow up the kitchen, we don't have to worry about it. β
Between the words, it reveals a great distrust of his cooking skills.
Shen Yize didn't explain much, just said: "Then you guys are almost there to give me news, and I'll pick you up at the train station." β
After breakfast, I went out to buy groceries.
He wants to cook a good meal for the second elder and surprise everyone with his strength.
β¦β¦
Pick up my parents at the train station at around 3 p.m.
The two elders each dragged a suitcase, not to mention, but also carried a large bag and a small bag, knowing that they were going to travel, and those who didn't know thought they were moving!
The trunk was not installed, and the rest could only be thrown into the back seat.
After getting into the car, Shen Yize couldn't help asking, "What did you buy here?" Buy so much. β
"Just some specialties, consume beef, fungus, or something."
"The tour guide asked me to buy it?"
This was Shen Yize's first reaction.
Wu Ping was suddenly unhappy: "What a tour guide!" Your dad and I are self-guided! Wherever you go, where you go, what you see, what you buy, there is a saying, ah yes, just go on a trip! β
Shen Yize was a little surprised, his parents are in their fifties, and they can't imagine that they are still keeping up with the trend?
"Have you had lunch?"
"Didn't eat. Originally, I came to eat some noodles to cushion my stomach, but your father didn't let me, saying that he would keep his stomach and come back to try your craft. β
Shen Lingyun immediately protested: "When did I say this? Nonsense all day long! β
Wu Ping smiled: "You didn't say it in your mouth, don't you think so in your heart?" β
"Of course not!" Shen Lingyun's tone was firm, "I'm just worried that I won't be able to catch up with the high-speed rail!" β
Shen Yize glanced at his father with a smile, for some reason, he actually saw a little An An's shadow from his father?
"Mom, when you fell in love with my dad, was he so duplicitous?"
"Hey, why am I duplicitous!"
Shen Lingyun refused to admit it, and Wu Ping immediately exposed his old truth: "Your father has always been hard-mouthed, since the first day I met him, he has been like this very much, but he doesn't admit it, and he has to take the initiative." It's good that your dad is young and handsome, otherwise, there might not be you in this world. β
Shen Yize laughed, thinking that his mother was the same as him, and she was also a face control. From this point of view, he and An An are almost sexually transformed parents, and I hope that in twenty or thirty years, they can have such affection from their parents.
"You guys rest for a while, I'll go stir-fry."
After arriving home, Shen Yize rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen to work.
"I'll help you."
"No, I've cut all the dishes and fried them."
Wu Ping followed up the kitchen, glanced at the desk and sink, and said in surprise: "Hey, you cut this?" β
She took a closer look and saw that the various ingredients were evenly thick, moderately sized, and neatly stacked on the plate. This knife work is not far behind her.
Look at him stir-frying, starting the pot and cutting the ingredients, methodical, stir-frying, skillful, like a master.
Why is the son who doesn't touch the spring water with ten fingers suddenly so good at cooking?
She was amazed and asked, "Where did you go to school?" β
Shen Yize said truthfully: "I found a master to learn art, these days, boys can't cook, how can they get a daughter-in-law?" β
Wu Ping disagreed: "You know how to cook now, and I haven't seen you bring one back!" β
Shen Yize smiled: "I just didn't bring it back, but I've already talked about it." β
"Really?" Wu Ping was surprised and delighted, "Have you found a partner?" β
"Can I still lie to you?"
"When did you say something, why didn't you say a word?"
"I didn't officially date until the 1st of this month, so I didn't rush to tell you."
Wu Ping sighed: "Do you have a photo of the girl?" β
"Yes, I'll stir-fry the vegetables first, and I'll show you later. Okay Mom, let's go out and sit, and we'll be fine right away! β
Seeing that her son's cooking skills were not bad, Wu Ping was no longer worried, and turned her head to tell Shen Lingyun the good news that her son had taken off the list.
Shen Lingyun only hummed coldly, seemingly unconcerned.
Meals are out of the pot one by one.
"Our son is capable, you see this fried fish-flavored shredded pork, exactly the same as what we eat in Shudu!"
When the fish-flavored shredded pork was served, Wu Ping didn't think much about it, but was full of praise.
When the pot meat, kung pao chicken, and mapo tofu were served, she began to feel that something was wrong.
"Son, why are you all Sichuan food?"
The old couple had just returned from a trip to Shudu, and there was still a trembling feeling brought by peppercorns in their mouths.
Shen Yize said while serving rice to the second elder: "I like Sichuan cuisine very much, you can taste it, this pepper looks red, but it is not spicy at all." β
Wu Pingqi said: "You haven't eaten spicy food since you were a child, how can you like Sichuan food?" β
"Sichuan cuisine is also not spicy, like this fish-flavored shredded pork is not spicy, start with not too spicy to eat, and slowly exercise it."
Shen Yize said it seriously.
Wu Ping was skeptical, but he didn't delve into it, he tasted a chopstick for each dish, and praised it sincerely: "It's delicious, I think it's better than what we eat in Shudu, it's too spicy over there!" β
"Dad, what do you think?"
Shen Yize asked casually while handing the food to his father.
Shen Lingyun said calmly: "It's okay, it's not unpalatable." β
said that it was okay, but the chopsticks did not stop.
When the meal was almost finished, Wu Ping brought up the photo again.
Shen Yize smiled and pulled out a photo of him and An An next to the Seeking Knowledge Spring.
Wu Ping's eyes immediately lit up when he saw it: "Student? β
"No, it's already working."
Shen Lingyun put down the dishes and chopsticks, and quietly leaned over to look at his future daughter-in-law. Although he didn't say a word, Shen Yize could read the word satisfaction from his expression.
"This girl is so beautiful, the key is that she has a good face, she looks very gentle and knowledgeable, unlike your ex-girlfriend, she is beautiful, and she is not an honest person at first glance......"
Mom was obviously angry about Ju Ran, but Shen Yize didn't want her to compare Ju Ran with An An, so she interrupted euphemistically: "Mom, her name is Yang Jiu'an, she is a very good girl, you must like it when you see it." β
"Then you should bring it back and we will see you!"
"It's only been a few days now, how can it be so fast? I'll try to bring it back for the Spring Festival! β
