257 Modern Journey to Guangzhou
It takes about three hours to drive from Hong Kong to Guangzhou. If the journey is smooth, it will be time for them to arrive in Guangzhou for lunch. Guangzhou has many specialty foods, which are the best in China and are well-known throughout the world. Moreover, Guangzhou holds a food festival every year, and the food culture has a long history.
"Auntie, where is Guangzhou? Have you been?" Sitting in the car, Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but be curious about the place they were going to this time. She suddenly asked Leng Qiuyu thoughtfully.
"Guangzhou City is one of the 31 provincial capitals in my country. It is where my aunt has worked hard!" Leng Qiuyu held the steering wheel smoothly with her hands, glanced at Shangguan Wan'er, who was sitting in the passenger seat, and replied to her. It seems that the child's memory is very lost. Although they have not taken her to Guangzhou before, at least they have heard of it! It seems that there are also talks about it in the textbook. Why did she forget it so thoroughly and cleanly? But it doesn't matter. This time they will definitely help her regain her past memories soon! By then, she will not have so many reasons, and she will not be as troubled as she is now.
"Xin'er, Guangzhou is a beautiful city, known as 'Flower City' and 'Yangcheng'. Your aunt still has a company there!" Ouyang Jin and Leng Qiufen are also familiar with Guangzhou. However, after they went to Taiwan, they never returned to this place to take a look. After so many years, when they came to this city again, they were filled with emotion!
"If you introduce Xin'er like this, Xin'er will be confused by you! You should explain to her clearly why Guangzhou is called Huacheng? And why is it called Yangcheng? Only then can she understand!" After hearing Ouyang Jin introduce to Shangguan Wan'er like this, Leng Qiufen knew that she would ask why again? So she blamed Ouyang Jin for not explaining it clearly to Shangguan Wan'er at once.
"Yes, why do a city have two different nicknames?" Sure enough, as soon as Leng Qiufen finished speaking, Shangguan Wan'er asked Ouyang Jin in time.
"Hahahaha..., you two really have a heart-to-heart relationship! Legend has it that in ancient times, five fairy sheep came to Guangzhou with rice ears, so that the people here can plant rice and have a good harvest. Therefore, Guangzhou is called Yangcheng!" People often say that mother and daughter are in love. It seems that Qiufen and Xin'er have a heart-to-heart relationship after being together for a long time. Ouyang Jin couldn't help laughing happily after hearing what Leng Qiufen and Shangguan Wan'er said. After laughing, he began to serve as an interviewer for Shangguan Wan'er based on his understanding of the city in his memory.
"So that's the case! Then why is it called Huacheng?" After hearing Ouyang Jin's explanation of Yangcheng, Shangguan Wan'er sighed very much and then asked.
"Guangzhou is located in the subtropical zone, with long summer and warm winter, and always green grass and water throughout the year, and flowers are always blooming. It has enjoyed the reputation of Flower City for a long time. Guangzhou has a long history of growing flowers, loving flowers, appreciating flowers and giving flowers. And its annual Forsythia Market has also attracted attention from the world. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to call it Flower City!" Ouyang Jin continued to explain to Shangguan Wan'er why Guangzhou is called Yangcheng and Flower City?
"Why don't my aunt stay in Guangzhou and come to Hong Kong?" Unexpectedly, Shangguan Wan'er asked Leng Qiuyu such a question.
"Qiuyu, you haven't had breakfast yet! Why don't I drive? You sit in the back and rest for a while!" There was a gas station a hundred meters ahead. Ouyang Jin spoke to her considerately.
"Okay, then I'll stop at the gas station in front!" Leng Qiuyu did not refuse Ouyang Jin's proposal. She knew that her brother-in-law was also an old driver who had been driving for many years, so there would be no problem. Anyway, there was navigation in the car, so she was not good at taking the wrong path. Even if she took the wrong path, it didn't matter. At most, it was easier to keep the traffic in full swing.
Leng Qiuyu drove the car into the gas station and added some oil. She got out of the car and sat in the back seat, while Ouyang Jin sat in the front cab.
"Xin'er, your mother is a little sick with her long distance. You can change the seats with your mother!" After Ouyang Jin tied the seat belt, he glanced at Leng Qiufen and turned his head to order Shangguan Wan'er.
"Oh!" Shangguan Wan'er answered obediently and got out of the car, changed to Leng Qiufen to the seat of the front passenger driver. She opened the car door behind and sat side by side with Leng Qiuyu.
"Give it to me, aunt, you can eat a cake!" Seeing that Leng Qiuyu finally had time to eat, Shangguan Wan'er thoughtfully took out the sandwich cake from the backpack she carried and handed it to her.
"Xin'er, fortunately you brought the cake and I almost fainted from hunger!" Leng Qiuyu was used to not eating breakfast, but when she saw the sandwich handed over by Shangguan Wan'er, why did she not accept it? She took the cake and said exaggeratedly.
"Then you eat it quickly! I have other flavors here. Do you want to have other flavors of meat floss?" Shangguan Wan'er believed that she said this and urged her to eat it quickly, and told her that there were other flavors to ask her if she wanted it?
"Oh, thank you, no! My stomach is very small, and it's enough to eat one piece!" Leng Qiuyu refused when she saw Shangguan Wan'er preparing to take the cake from her backpack. You know, she doesn't eat sandwiches very much. She hates the taste of the ham and eggs mixed in it. There is also the meat floss cake and the sticky butter in the middle. She feels a little numb when she sees it. However, little girls like Xiner seem to like these things very much, and she doesn't stop her from liking it, but she just doesn't like it very much.
"Auntie, this is your cup! I brought it for you and also filled you with boiling water. You must have a dry mouth after you just ate the sandwich. You can drink some!" Shangguan Wan'er was very satisfied when she saw Leng Qiuyu eating the whole sandwich cleanly in front of her, so that she would not be hungry and would not get sick and gastritis. She took out a thermos cup from her backpack, zipped the backpack, and threw it on the shelf behind the car. Then, she handed the thermos cup to Leng Qiuyu.
"Thank you!" Leng Qiuyu took the cup from Shangguan Wan'er's hand, and she was really moved. At this moment, everything Shangguan Wan'er did for her, even some very subtle actions, moved her eyes to red and she wanted to cry. However, she tried her best to hide her tone and behavior in front of Shangguan Wan'er, for fear that she would see her strangeness.
At this time, another warm scene appeared in the car.
Ouyang Jin and Leng Qiufen, who were sitting in the front row of the car, looked at each other sweetly, and they showed grinning of relief and relief!
