…
It wasn't just the wine that made me cry last night.
It wasn't just your gentleness that made me reluctant to leave.
How much longer do we have to walk? Hold my hand.
…
The song "Cheng Du" blew up the whole country and made many people recognize Chengdu.
For people who wandered outside, everyone had a "Chengdu" in their hearts. It was not just a city, but also a memory that was treasured in their hearts.
Chen Xi had never been to Chengdu, so his impression of it was a little one-sided.
He didn't know that in this city's rainy weather, if one were to walk on the limestone road with an umbrella, one could see a cat lying lazily under the eaves and taking a nap at the corner.
There were hot pot and snacks everywhere, as well as exquisite small pubs.
There were high-end and elegant CBD, as well as passionate LiveHouse.
Perhaps it was because she had never been on a plane, or because she had never been on a long trip, or because she was about to see her grandmother.
In short, the little girl was very excited now.
She slept on the plane and had already replenished her energy.
This trip was considered a trip, so when Chen Xi passed by KFC, he bought her a fried chicken, which made the little girl smile from ear to ear.
Chen Xi called Aunt Zhang at this time. Because it was so sudden, Aunt Zhang finally came back to her senses after a long time.
While she blamed Chen Xi for wasting money for no reason, she smiled and asked if they had arrived at the station. She would come to pick them up immediately.
Chen Xi asked Aunt Zhang to send the location, then carried the little girl to the parking lot.
As soon as they arrived at the parking lot, a warm Trump greeting came over.
"Master, where are we going?"
"Get in the car, I'll give you a ride."
"Are we going? Are we going? "
Chen Xi did not know that there was an app called Didi now, so he obediently got into a taxi and gave the address of Aunt Zhang's house.
Aunt Zhang's husband was a native of Chengdu, and their house had always been near the Wuhou Temple.
262 Wuhou Temple Street, a neighborhood that did not even have a name, was built in 2000, and it had been almost 20 years since then.
Although the buildings in the district were very old, the living environment was better than the Kang Ju District. It was mainly because it was close to the Wuhou Temple and was in the center of Chengdu.
It was already 9: 40 pm. When the driver drove the father and daughter past the Wuhou Temple, the street beside Jinli instantly attracted the little girl's attention.
That place was brightly lit, and people were coming and going. It looked particularly lively.
Seeing her like this, Chen Xi immediately knew what she was thinking, so he stroked the little girl's head and said softly, "Let's go to grandma's house first, then daddy will bring you here to play."
"En!" The little guy nodded obediently.
The taxi quickly turned from Wuhou Temple Street to a small road on the side.
As soon as they reached the small road, the feeling of an old Chengdu came out.
Two rows of lush trees instantly covered the hustle and bustle of the city. Under the dim street lights, a few leisurely passersby could be seen.
When they arrived at the station, the timer showed 49 RMB, which was much better than Zhonghai.
Chen Xi stood at the entrance of the neighborhood with the little girl in his arms. Then, he called Aunt Zhang.
In less than two minutes, Aunt Zhang's figure appeared.
"Hey, you're too much. Just wait for the child to make a fuss. It'll be fine in two days … I just left, and you rushed over with her. Tell me, what's wrong with you? I'm not saying this, but you're a father. It's really not good for your child to spoil her too much … "
Before Auntie Zhang came over, the familiar nagging voice had already rung out.
Chen Xi smiled awkwardly, but the little girl had already opened her little hands and shouted enthusiastically, "Grandma! Grandma! I miss you so much! "
"Hey, you good child, you're trying to make me sick to death!"
Hearing the little girl's shout, Aunt Zhang immediately stopped lecturing. Then, she laughed out loud and wanted to take the little girl from Chen Xi's arms.
She hugged the little girl and then gently put her on the ground. Then, she held the little girl's hand and said to Chen Xi, "Let's go home first."
…
Aunt Zhang's husband left early, so there were only four people in their house now.
Her son, Xie Pinglin, her daughter-in-law, Cai Shuqin, and her one-year-old granddaughter, Xie Yao.
The house was more than 80 square meters, but the design of the old neighborhood was too poor. Too much space was wasted, so there were only two bedrooms and a small study room.
After entering the house, Chen Xi finally saw Aunt Zhang's son.
Aunt Zhang's son was about 28 or 29 years old. He was a little older than Chen Xi. He wore glasses and looked gentle.
Her daughter-in-law looked alright. She seemed to be about the same age as Xie Pinglin, so Chen Xi guessed that they were classmates.
"Pinglin, Shuqin, come, come. Let me introduce you. This is Chen Xi, the son-in-law of my former employer …"
Xie Pinglin was inarticulate, so as the host, he nodded awkwardly when he saw the guest. He said, "Hello."
"Hello."
Seeing that, Chen Xi immediately reached out his hand to Xie Pinglin to express his goodwill.
"Yes, yes. Hello, hello …"
Xie Pinglin seemed to be very unaccustomed to shaking hands, so his body movements were a little stiff.
At that moment, Aunt Zhang looked at Cai Shuqin, who was watching TV on the sofa, and said to her, "Oh yeah, Shuqin, Chen Xi will be staying at our house today. Can you tidy up my room and let the father and daughter stay there? I'll stay in the study room later."
Hearing that, Chen Xi immediately said, "Aunt Zhang, there's no need to trouble yourself. It's a trip. I'll bring the child out and get a room later …"
"How can that be! Don't you need money to get a room! "
Aunt Zhang scolded Chen Xi. Then, she advised him earnestly, "It's not easy for you to take care of the child alone. Save as much as you can, understand?"
Chen Xi saw the serious look on Aunt Zhang's face, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you …"
"Come, come, come. Don't just talk. You're guests from afar. Come, take a seat."
Aunt Zhang invited Chen Xi to the sofa, only to find that Cai Shuqin was still sitting on the sofa and watching TV.
She glared at Cai Shuqin unhappily and said, "Shuqin, what are you waiting for? Go and tidy up. What time is it?"
However, Cai Shuqin didn't even turn her head. She replied indifferently while eating melon seeds, "Got it. I'll go after this episode."
Auntie Zhang didn't seem to know what to do with her, so she just left her be and gestured for Chen Xi to sit on the side.
Chen Xi politely sat on the sofa with the little fellow in his arms. At that moment, the little fellow saw the baby lying next to Cai Shuqin.
"Papa, I want to see my sister!"
She knew that Aunt Zhang had a granddaughter, so she immediately clamored to see the little fellow who was younger than her.
"Come, come, come. Grandma will carry you."
Aunt Zhang picked up the little fellow from Chen Xi's lap, then carried her to the other side and put her next to the baby.
The little fellow reached out to pinch the baby's cheeks, but Cai Shuqin picked up the child in one swift motion.
She didn't say anything. She just glared at Niannian, then stood up and walked to the bedroom.
