After coming back to her senses, Cheng Xiaolin carried a light blue travel bag behind her and followed her husband back to the room.

As soon as Meng Meng entered the door, she thought about playing peek-a-boo again, and said that she would let her mother turn around and she would hide first.

"Mengmeng, your brother is sleeping, you can sleep for a while." Cheng Xiaolin said.

But Mengmeng disagreed, and shouted: "Brother Dongdong is still a little boy, he is not as good as me, he is too wasteful." ”

Cheng Xiaolin: "......"

"Mengmeng, are you looking for a beating?" Cheng Xiaolin said her.

But Mengmeng didn't care about that, under the gaze of Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin, she ran to the other side of the bed in the room, squatted down, and showed the three small braids on the top of her head, and shouted loudly: "Mom, I'm hiding, you can find me." ”

The two glanced at each other, and Cao Shujie laughed silently.

Cheng Xiaolin felt tired: "Shujie, look at your daughter, why is she so skinny, she can really be angry." ”

Cao Shujie didn't think so, he put down the things in his hand and shouted in the direction of Meng Mengzang: "Meng Meng, Dad is playing with you to hide cats, okay?" ”

"Okay, I'm hiding, Dad is looking for me, right?" The cute little head is swaying back and forth, and the three little braids are also flicked one by one, which looks particularly fun.

Cao Shujie said: "Dad is looking for you." ”

While taking small steps, he searched everywhere in the house, and shouted from time to time.

Meng Meng hid in the gap between the bed and the wall, listening to her father shouting her name and saying, 'Why can't I find you?'

But Mengmeng squatted for a long time, her legs were a little numb, she couldn't hide herself, and said in a proud tone: "Dad, I'm hiding here, and you can't find me, you're so stupid." ”

Cheng Xiaolin held her mouth to prevent herself from laughing, she wondered in her heart that her daughter's IQ was a bit problematic.

"Shujie, is Grandpa resting too?" Cheng Xiaolin asked him.

Cao Shujie nodded: "When I sent him over just now, he lay down and rested for a while." ”

"Then let's not worry, it's not too late to go out when the sun goes down." Cheng Xiaolin said.

Cao Shujie also means this, they are not in a hurry, and every time they go to a place, they don't have to look at the flowers and look lonely.

"Shujie, is there anything interesting about this place?" Cheng Xiaolin asked him.

Cao Shujie nodded: "There are really a lot, the history of this place is far away, and there are really a lot of inheritances left behind, let's stay here for two more days, go and see it during the day, and come back in the evening, otherwise it's too cold and I can't stand it." ”

As soon as he said this, Cheng Xiaolin became interested and asked him, "Shujie, tell me what is here first?" ”

"What's there?" Cao Shujie thought for a while and said: "I remember that there are Liangzhou virtuous and filial piety, Hexi Baojuan Wuwei Juan, Liangzhou Attack Drum, Tianzhu Tu Gesar, and Minqin Quzi Opera. ”

"There are also re-engraved paper-cutting, Xixia clay movable type printing, and so on."

After Cheng Xiaolin listened to her husband, she found that she understood the words, but she didn't know what they meant or what they represented.

"What is this? How do you know? Cheng Xiaolin was a little puzzled.

Cao Shujie said with a smile: "After you all fell asleep last night, I used my mobile phone to check the information. ”

"Since we're here to play, we must know what's here." Cao Shujie said.

Cheng Xiaolin suddenly realized, she said: "I said why did you keep asking us last night if we could come to Weiwu City today, it turns out that you have a plan." ”

Cao Shujie didn't bother to say this: "Otherwise, you have to know a little bit, otherwise you don't know how to get cheated when you go out." ”

"So where are we going tomorrow?" Cheng Xiaolin asked him.

Mengmeng watched her father and mother ignore her, she was a little angry, ran to her parents, and hugged her father's legs: "Dad, why don't you look for me." ”

Cao Shujie opened his eyes and said nonsense: "Dad has been looking for you, Dad has almost turned over the room, and immediately found where you hid just now, who knows if you ran out by yourself?" ”

Meng Meng didn't believe it at all, she shook her body and said, "I don't believe it, unless you look for me again." ”

"Mengmeng, Dad will take you to see interesting places tomorrow, okay?" Cao Shujie asked.

But Mengmeng was not easily fooled, she asked, "What's there?" ”

"There are many interesting places, there are snow-capped mountains and glaciers, forests and grasslands, oasis pastorals, desert Gobi, by the way, there are Xixia monuments, Tianti Mountain Grottoes."

Speaking of this, Cao Shujie looked at his wife and asked her, "Wife, do you still remember the text of Ma Ta Feiyan?" ”

"Remember, I just can't memorize it." Cheng Xiaolin said.

Cao Shujie pointed to the ground: "That was unearthed here." ”

"I read on the Internet that there are also Baita Temple, Confucian Temple, Kumarosh Temple, and the South City Gate, all of which are here, let's take a look."

"Okay!" Cheng Xiaolin agreed.

Their family of three stopped playing peek-a-boo, and Cao Shujie turned on the TV in the room and watched the local news.

According to the information he found, there are more than 40 ethnic minorities living together in this place, and when you watch the TV news, you can feel the difference.

Mengmeng leaned on her father's lap and watched the news for a while, she felt that it was not as good as the cartoon, and she suddenly lost the mind to watch it.

"Mom, I'm so bored, I want to sleep."

After the excitement passed, Meng Meng began to feel sleepy.

From time to time, she yawned and rubbed her eyes, and after a long time, she couldn't open them.

When Cheng Xiaolin saw it, she hugged her daughter over and slowly coaxed her.

After a while, Meng Meng fell asleep first.

"Shujie, you've been driving on the road, and you're not lightly tired, so let's sleep for a while."

"Okay, I'll lie down for a while, and when we wake up, let's try the cold noodles here, bacon and rock sugar round jujube tea, and a big moon cake, many people on the Internet say it's delicious, let's try it too." Cao Shujie said.

After finishing speaking, Cao Shujie took off his coat and lay on the side of the bed, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep.

Cheng Xiaolin saw that her husband and daughter were asleep, and she was also a little sleepy, but she still remembered to go out to take a look.

When I came back, I lay on the other side of the bed and fell asleep

I don't know how long it has been, after Mengmeng woke up, she sat in the middle of the bed, watching her parents sleeping, and no one paid attention to her, so she began to make trouble, covering her father's mouth for a while, pinching his nose for a while, and saying that she would wake up her father.

As for Cheng Xiaolin, she didn't dare to move, for fear of annoying her mother and really beating her.

Cao Shujie felt that it was difficult to breathe, and suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were wide open, which startled Meng Meng and almost fell from him to the ground.

Fortunately, Cao Shujie's eyes were quick, and he quickly reached out to support her: "Mengmeng, what are you doing here?" Be careful not to fall on you. ”

Mengmeng was also startled, hearing her father yelling at her, Mengmeng felt a little aggrieved, her mouth was deflated, and tears immediately flowed from her eyes.

Cao Shujie was a little helpless against his daughter's hand, and after coaxing for a while, he didn't coax well.

His wife Cheng Xiaolin woke up after hearing Mengmeng's cry.

I hugged her over and coaxed her for a while, and the little guy stopped making a fuss.

"Shujie, what time is it?" Cheng Xiaolin asked him.

Cao Shujie took his mobile phone and took a look: "It's more than 3 o'clock, and I don't know if grandpa has they all woken up?" ”

"Daddy, hide the cat." Meng Meng said.

Cao Shujie had a headache, he looked out the window and said: "Mengmeng, let's go see the old man and grandma, grandma and them, if you wake up, let's go out early to play for a while, and then go eat something." ”

"Okay, Dad, hurry up." Meng Meng also urged.

"Wife, you change Mengmeng into thick clothes, otherwise it will be cold."

……

In Grandpa Cao Zhenghu's room, Cao Shujie just came over and found that his grandfather had woken up and was alone in the room with the TV on and listening to Peking Opera.

"Grandpa, let's go out and have some food." Cao Shujie asked him.

Cao Zhenghu nodded: "Okay, I don't have any problems, I'm afraid that you young people won't be able to hold on." ”

Cao Shujie thought to himself, the young people in the team were just him and his wife, and they were despised by their grandfather.

"No, I'll call my mom, let's go out." Cao Shujie walked out, and as soon as he walked to the door, he stood again, turned his head to his grandfather and said, "Grandpa, you remember to wear more clothes, it's cold in the afternoon here." ”

The temperature here in the afternoon has reached single digits, and Cao Shujie is speechless.

But there is no way but to wear more clothes.

It's just that his mother-in-law Li Xiaojuan didn't expect that it was only October, and the temperature here was so outrageous, and she didn't bring particularly thick clothes.

It's not a problem at all, there's a mall right next door.

Cao Shujie and his group first went to the shopping mall next to them to buy clothes, and everyone was dressed enough to keep warm, and then they went to the street to find food.

Last night, Cao Shujie made a strategy, and they didn't let go of the few special snacks they found on the Internet.

It was too cold in the evening, and after eating, they canceled their original plan to go for a walk and hurried back to the hotel.

Cao Zhenhu also said: "Shujie, have you found out? There aren't many people here. ”

Cao Shujie nodded, he also saw this detail.

As for the specific reason, to put it bluntly, it has something to do with the local economy, and the overall economy is relatively poor, and the population is prone to outflow.

The two of them talked about it, and talked about where to go tomorrow.

In the area where they are now, there are a lot of places to play.

Considering that his grandfather is old after all, Cao Shujie doesn't plan to go farther, he picked a few scenic spots with relatively concentrated locations, and plans to drive around tomorrow to see the historical Liangzhou culture.

In any case, it was also an important city on the ancient Silk Road, once the largest oasis in the Hexi Corridor.

Historically, even the majestic Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up a county here, and at that time it was also the center of the entire northwest region, and the economic prosperity can be seen.

It's just that these are history, and now they are far worse than they were then.

……

When Cao Shujie took his grandfather, wife and children, mother and mother-in-law to play outside, Cao Jianlin in Anyi City was also chatting with his two sons.

It's already mid-October, and the end of the year is not far away.

Cao Jianlin asked his two sons to discuss the matter of bringing the old father back from his hometown, and according to the previous discussion, it was time for them to take care of the old man next year.

"Shubin, Shuxin, I'll call your second uncle later, and tell him in advance." Cao Jianlin said.

The brothers nodded almost at the same time.

"Dad, just call, and in December, we'll pick up grandpa back." Boss Cao Shubin said.

The second Cao Shuxin also followed: "When grandpa comes, stay with me for a while." ”

Cao Jianlin listened to the two brothers discussing there, and he called his brother Cao Jianguo first.

After waiting for the phone to be connected, he heard his brother's voice from the other side of the phone: "Brother, why did you remember to call?" ”

"I'm thinking about the end of the year, and I'll bring our dad back then." Cao Jianlin said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Jianguo hesitated: "Big brother, why don't you let our father stay in his hometown for a while longer." ”

"It just so happens that Shujie doesn't have anything to do, you guys are very busy in the city, and our father also likes to stay in his hometown." Cao Jianguo said.

But Cao Jianlin disagreed, he said: "I usually don't have anything to do, I just accompany my father." ”

He also said, "Why don't you ask our father if he would like to come back." ”

Cao Jianguo was a little embarrassed.

Cao Jianlin was anxious when he heard this, did this happen?

Could it be that the old father had an accident, and his second brother has been hiding it?

What a confusion!

"Jianguo, what's wrong with our father?" He asked anxiously.

Cao Jianguo said: "Brother, our father followed Shujie and them out on a trip." ”

"They said they were going to Xinjiang, but I can't tell where they are now?" Cao Jianguo said to his eldest brother.

When Cao Jianlin heard his brother say this, he was really a little caught off guard, which was different from what he thought.

Fortunately, people are fine.

"When did they go? Didn't you say when you would be back? Cao Jianlin asked.

"Brother, when Shujie left, he said that he would be back in ten days and half a month, and today is the fourth day."

He said, "Why don't I tell my father when they come back." ”

The old brothers chatted for a while and then hung up.

Cao Jianlin explained the situation to his two sons.

Cao Shubin and Cao Shuxin didn't expect this to be the case, and they were also surprised.

But to be honest, in this regard, the brothers are really not as good as their cousins.

But there's no way around it.

Cao Shubin works in a foreign company, or as a purchasing manager, although the salary is not low, but there is no freedom.

Cao Shuxin has been busy with his career in the past two years, and he has been bumpy and bumpy, and he is in the initial stage, and he can't spare too much time.

But thinking of what his cousin did for his grandfather, Cao Shubin said: "When we bring my grandfather back, the weather is warm, let's take some time and take my grandfather out for a walk." ”

"Okay, I don't have a problem." Cao Shuxin agreed very happily.

Cao Jianlin was very comforted when he heard them say this.

At least there was no unfilial piety in their old Cao family.

"Then let's wait, it's useless to be anxious now." Cao Jianlin finally said.
