Chapter 589: Coming Home
Coming out of the gate of the high-speed rail station, Zhang Lan let out a long breath. This person is also a little too much, but fortunately there is not much luggage on the surface, otherwise with two children, it will be difficult to get out of the station.
There were too many people at the exit of the station, Zhang Lan hugged one, pulled a child outside, walked a few steps outside, found a taxi and got on it first. After blocking the traffic jam, he said that at most, he would go back late.
It takes more than three hours to travel by high-speed rail from Kyoto to Xiangshi, and the normal situation from Xiangshi to Zhang Lan's home is just more than an hour, but Zhang Lan took a taxi only after coming out of the city without traffic jams, and it used to be a journey of at most 20 minutes, but this time it took more than an hour. That's why the high-speed rail station wasn't built in the city center.
Looking at the time, it was already more than one o'clock in the afternoon, and Zhang Lan, who was originally planning to go home directly, thought about finding a place to eat, but he was nothing, and it was not the same thing for the two children to eat snacks all the time.
After taking out his mobile phone and looking at the nearby map, Zhang Lan and the driver said the address of the nearest hotel, and he was going to go there for a bite to eat first.
By the way, I called my mother back and said that I would eat something later and then go home, Zhang Lan told her that after going home today, she had called several times, and she had expected to arrive home a long time ago, but she really didn't expect the traffic jam to be too bad.
The temporary hotel I was looking for didn't pay much attention to anything. When ordering, Zhang Lan picked two hot dishes of green vegetables and asked for rice, no matter what the meat in this roadside restaurant was, but the green vegetables must be fresh.
Although Zhang Lan had avoided it, the result was that most of the two dishes went into Zhang Lan's stomach, and the two children stopped eating after a few sips and a bottle of milk.
Coming out of the restaurant, the two children and Zhang Lan complained that the vegetables they had just fried were too oily, and the rice was a little hard, not that they didn't eat it, but they really couldn't eat it.
Zhang Lan smiled and didn't speak, it would be good to stay at home for a few more days after going home this time.
This time I didn't stop a taxi again, I was almost out of the city, there were not many taxis, and it was close to the holiday, the taxi fee was much more expensive than the online car-hailing, Zhang Lan took out her mobile phone and called an online car-hailing car home.
On the way, Zhang Lan and the driver casually chatted about the issue of taxi price increases on holidays, but they didn't expect the other party to say that it was not unusual at all. At the beginning, there were restrictions, but since the rise of online car-hailing, the price of taxis that were still under control has become a dead letter.
Moreover, taxi drivers still report some online car-hailing drivers from time to time, and some online car-hailing drivers who have not obtained the qualifications of operating licenses will be fined tens of thousands of yuan once they are reported.
In the words of online car-hailing drivers, it seems that taxi drivers are shouting that this does not make money and that does not make money, but in fact, after there are fewer taxi drivers now, many drivers have begun to do the business of passenger transport in the twin cities, and now most licensed taxi drivers make more money than those who drive online car-hailing.
Zhang Lan smiled and didn't speak, for this kind of industry insider, he hasn't taken a taxi for a long time, and taking a taxi is also once in a while, for the price increase or not, who earns money and who doesn't make money, he listens to it as gossip.
When I got home by car, Zhang Lan's father and mother waited at the door early, and when they saw Zhang Lan getting out of the car, they didn't even say hello, and the two old men had already pulled the car door left and right to hug their good grandson.
Zhang Lan took out her mobile phone and paid for it, and after picking up her bag from the car and saying goodbye to the driver, Zhang Lan's father and mother had already walked into the house with their two children.
After Zhang Lan carried things into the door, Zhang Lan's mother was serving food from the kitchen, and said: "I'm hungry all the way, eat first, the two children didn't eat a few bites on the way back just now." ”
Zhang Lan put the bag down and said, "Didn't I call before and say that you don't need to cook for us, how do you do so much?" ”
Looking at the few dishes on the coffee table and a soup, Zhang Lan scratched her head, this is all freshly fried.
"Didn't the two children who answered the phone when I called just now said that the restaurant was not delicious and didn't eat a few bites, so I quickly fried a few more dishes." Zhang Lan's mother explained.
"You're too used to them, and the two of you haven't stopped talking all the way, how can you eat so much."
"What's so much about this, just eat it at night if you can't finish it, and you won't throw it away." Zhang Lan's mother said casually.
The dishes ordered by the restaurant all went into Zhang Lan's stomach, which made Zhang Lan not very hungry, but her father and mother sat at the coffee table to eat with the two children, and Zhang Lan also sat down.
Zhang Lan's father asked Qin Yongjun and Zhang Lan's youngest son when they would come back, and Zhang Lan told him that it would be October 2nd.
After taking two bites of food, Zhang Lan opened her mouth and asked, "Why did I see corn drying in the yard when I came in just now?" Have you started farming again? It's not that you just have to contract it out, what do you do with all this effort. ”
Zhang Lan's father said: "What's so hard about this, only one season is planted a year, and more than one acre of roadside land is left, and it is mechanized from planting to harvesting, and you don't have to care about anything." All you need to do is drive a tricycle to the side of the road to pull corn. ”
"That's right, Grandpa Ling also planted a large patch of sweet potatoes on the wasteland over the winery this year, and when the time comes, I'm going to make handmade vermicelli, which is much better than what you bought in the supermarket." Zhang Lan's mother also said.
Zhang Lan sighed and said: "Is this what I'm talking about, besides, our family is not short of this money, my grandfather is still farming at such an age, what can he do when he grows sweet potatoes." ”
"They are all old farmers, they don't farm and plant anything. I am in good health at work, but it is a disease to rest all the time. Zhang Lan's mother waved her hand and said.
Zhang Lan asked casually: "It's August 15 soon, won't my grandfather go back to my uncle's house?" ”
"Go back, your grandfather just got into August and asked your dad to send him back, saying that he was going home to live for a while and come back in a few days." Zhang Lan's mother replied.
Zhang Lan thought for a while and said, "Grandpa won't go back to fight for my uncle, right?" ”
Zhang Lan's father said next to him: "What do you say, when I sent him back, the old man was still in the car and counted how many guests there were this year. ”
Zhang Lan tugged at the corners of her mouth and didn't speak, and Zhang Lan's mother blamed on the side: "You don't say this in front of the child, our family doesn't lack that little thing." ”
Zhang Lan said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll go to my uncle's house in the city tomorrow, and then bring something to my grandfather." ”
"What do you do when you carry things, you don't have to go when I go, what are you doing with that money." Zhang Lan's mother waved her hand, and then said.
"You can do your business, your grandfather doesn't need to take things, just turn around and take a look. He's old and now he's confused, and if you take something in a while, he should say that your aunt's children won't bring him anything, so you don't have to look for this suspicion. ”
Zhang Lan nodded and said, "That's okay, I'll be at home for a long time this time, let's talk about it then." ”
