Qiao Xiangqian and Hu Suiyong sat in the front, taking turns being the driver. The ten-hour drive was no joke. When the two of them got tired, they would switch drivers.
Sun Huifang, Qiao Jinling, Qiao Jinfeng, and Yang Guixiang were sitting in the back. The trunk was full of various things, including luggage and gifts.
The familiar scenery gradually faded away. When they got on the highway, the vast fields receded and stretched endlessly, making people dizzy.
Qiao Jinling knew that from today on, she would live in Beijing. Although she had lived there before, she was an adult at that time, and now she was just a 12-year-old girl.
"Lingling, have you put on the red belt that grandma gave you? This is your birth year, so you must wear red in everything, and you must pay more attention outside."
Yang Guixiang couldn't bear the boredom and found a topic to chat casually.
"Grandma, I'm wearing a red belt, red socks, and red underwear. Do you want to cut another two feet of red headband and tie it on for me?"
Qiao Jinling joked, which relieved the heavy atmosphere.
"You kid, you just know how to make fun of grandma. We are not singing "Red Lantern". You kid is very naughty. You probably don't know what trouble you will get into when you get to Beijing?"
Yang Guixiang sighed. She couldn't bear to let her granddaughter go to Beijing. She didn't like her that much when she was a child, but in the past few years, the more she watched her, the more she liked her.
"I understand, grandma, I will definitely learn from the big-tailed wolf, keep my tail between my legs, and make sure not to embarrass our Anqing city. Learn from Sister Jinfeng, carry it forward, and let the people of Beijing know that our Anqing is a very powerful place."
Qiao Jinling was laughing and joking, making everyone happy. Sun Huifang and Qiao Jinfeng also smiled. As long as Qiao Jinling is there, there will be joy.
Yang Guixiang laughed for a while, then she felt dizzy, her stomach was churning, her face was ashen, and she was like a wilted eggplant. She leaned back on the chair and said nothing.
"Grandma, what's wrong with you?"
Qiao Jinling sensed something was wrong with Yang Guixiang.
"I...I...I want to vomit."
It turned out that Yang Guixiang suffered from motion sickness.
She had no choice but to park casually on the highway, so Sun Huifang had to find a plastic bag and give it to Yang Guixiang, just in case, and she must not vomit in the car.
Fortunately, Yang Guixiang was just uncomfortable and did not vomit. She just lost the strength and interest to speak. She slumped on the back of her chair and refused to answer anyone who spoke.
Arrived at the rest stop.
They helped Yang Guixiang down to get some fresh air. Yang Guixiang felt useless and felt like vomiting even while riding in the car. The group ate something, took a short rest, and got back into the car.
She got up too early in the morning. Qiao Jinling wanted to sleep as soon as she got in the car. She was so groggy that she fell asleep lying on her mother's lap.
When I woke up again, the lights outside the car window were dim and the traffic was busy, as if I had been transported to another world instantly.
Indeed, Qiao Jinling has entered another world.
They have already arrived in Beijing city.
"Second sister, we have entered the urban area of Beijing. Where are you on the West Second Ring Road? Oh, just follow the road signs. Okay, we will be there soon."
Qiao Qianqian hung up the phone, just in time for the rush hour after get off work, and there were still cars on the road. Yang Guixiang's eyes widened, as if she had entered a heavenly palace, and was dazzled. How could there be so many colored lights?
The same goes for Qiao Jinfeng. She has never seen such a beautiful scenery. She pressed her face against the car window and looked at the city greedily.
After all, Qiao Xiangqiang was considered a person who had seen the world in Hainan and Guangzhou. Following the road signs and asking people, he arrived at Qiao Xiangxiu's community smoothly.
"Wow! It turns out that the second aunt lives here!"
Qiao Jinling couldn't help shouting.
She only knew that Qiao Xiangxiu lived in the West Second Ring Road in Beijing, which was a very good location, but she didn't expect that her second aunt would live in a villa in such a good location.
How much is this worth!
Qiao Qianqian got off the car and went to the doorman to register. Under the guidance of the doorman, he quickly arrived at Qiao Xiangxiu's villa.
The villas here are all named after flowers. Qiao Xiangxiu's is called Lotus Garden. In front of the villa is a large lotus pond. It is summer, and the lotus leaves are covered with pavilions, forming a beautiful scenery.
"Oh, you've finally arrived. I thought you wouldn't be able to find her, but it turned out to be quite smooth. Are you tired from this journey? Where's my mother?"
Qiao Xiangxiu was standing at the door of her house to greet them, holding a white and tender baby.
"My mother is motion sick. She's in the back. This is Xiaoxue. Yeah, she looks so cute. Come on, let Auntie give her a hug."
Sun Huifang stretched out her hand to take the child, and Qiao Xiangxiu hurried to the car door to help Yang Guixiang down.
"Oh my god, what kind of foreign crime is this? People say they want to ride in a car, a sedan, but I feel like it's like a big cage. I was so suffocated along the way that my bones were about to fall apart.
"
Yang Guixiang's face was full of exhaustion and her eyes were dull. It turned out that this was the Beijing she had longed for. Except for taller buildings, more cars, more people, and her breathing was uneven, there was nothing to show off.
"Grandma, let's go inside and take a rest. Second aunt's house is so big and grand."
Qiao Jinling diverted Yang Guixiang's attention. If the old lady kept nagging her, she might not even have to eat dinner.
"Does this house all belong to Xiu'er?"
Only then did Yang Guixiang notice the unique large villa in front of her, and her face was full of disbelief. Even in the entire Anqing city, such a beautiful house could not be found.
Qiao Jinfeng and Qiao Jinling helped Yang Guixiang into the house.
"Oh my god, this is like entering the palace. Gee, these little stones are so beautiful, and they even shine. When I tell Grandma Han, they won't believe it. How can there be such bright lights?"
As soon as Yang Guixiang entered the room, she was attracted by the crystal chandelier pouring down.
"Grandma, this is Grandma Liu who has entered the Grand View Garden. Everything you see is new."
Qiao Jinling couldn't help but tease Yang Guixiang.
"What's Grandma Liu? I'm Grandma Yang. You kid, you can't speak in tune when you arrive in Beijing."
Yang Guixiang's words caused everyone to burst into laughter.
Hu Suiyong and Qiao Xiangqian took down the gifts they had brought for Qiao Xiangxiu and said, "Okay, Qiao Xiangxiu, his property in Beijing is big enough, and he lives in a villa."
This is the first time Qiao Xiangqiang has come to Qiao Xiangxiu’s home.
"Okay, Qiao Qianqian, who doesn't know that you are the big boss now, why would you joke with someone like me? If you want to buy such a house, won't it be a matter of minutes? By the way, that house..."
"We'll talk about it later. I'm exhausted after driving all the way. Brother, let me take a breath and drink some water."
Qiao Qianqian interrupted Qiao Xiangxiu.
"Look at me, I say whatever comes to my mind. You didn't have a good meal along the way. The nanny has already prepared the food. Just heat it up and you can eat it."
Qiao Xiangxiu walked back to the kitchen and discussed something with the nanny. In front of the kitchen was a large round table, made of solid wood and very heavy at first sight, with a glass rotating table on top.
"Fang, ask your second sister, why is Chen Guoqiang not here?"
Yang Guixiang tugged on Sun Huifang's clothes.
Sun Huifang understood the idea, walked into the kitchen with her child in her arms, and pretended to ask casually: "Second sister, why didn't you see your second brother-in-law? Did you hide out in fear when you saw us coming?"
"Who said I hid out? I was going to buy some good wine for you!"
