"We're here, look outside, we're about to get off the highway." Cao Shujie looked at his daughter in the rearview mirror, Mengmeng was rubbing her eyes.

His wife seemed to be awakened by the sound of the father and daughter talking. She rubbed her eyes and woke up: "Eh? I was playing with my phone just now, why did I still fall asleep?"

While she was talking, Cheng Xiaolin found her mobile phone lying at her feet. She quickly opened her seat belt and bent down to pick up the mobile phone.

"Mom, what dad said, look." Mengmeng pointed out the car window, her eyes opening wider and wider: "Mom, look, is that the door? It's so big!"

Cheng Xiaolin looked in the direction of her daughter's finger and realized that it said 'Anyi City welcomes you!' These big words were written on it. They had already arrived at the intersection of Anyi City Expressway.

"Mengmeng, we are going to get off the highway." Grandpa Cao Zhenghu woke up and looked at those words and said.

Especially in the past few years, he has been living here every other year for a year. Cao Zhenghu is quite familiar with this highway intersection.

"Grandpa, where are we going?" Mengmeng asked.

Cao Zhenghu said: "You have to ask your father about this."

"Grandpa, I just called my uncle. He is waiting for us at my brother Bin's place. Let's go directly to Golden City where brother Bin lives." Cao Shujie said this.

Cao Zhenghu nodded and said to his grandson: "That's easy to do. Get off the expressway and walk south to Zhongtong Avenue, then west to Guangming Road, and you'll be there."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to point the way to his grandson. Although he had not lived here for almost half a year, he had not forgotten this road.

Mengmeng watched for a while and felt bored. She turned around and saw her grandpa and grandma still sleeping in the last row, so she shouted loudly: "Grandpa, grandma, wake up quickly, we are here."

Wang Yuelan and Cao Jianguo opened their eyes when they heard their granddaughter's shout. They also rubbed their eyes and looked outside, only to realize that they were no longer on the highway: "Shujie, how long has it been?"

"It's already after 1 o'clock. I stopped at the expressway service area for a while at about 11 o'clock in the morning. I saw that you didn't even wake up, so I drove directly to Anyi City." Cao Shujie said this.

"Oh, I'm getting older and I just don't have enough energy, but your car is really comfortable to sit in. I don't feel any pain in my back after sleeping for such a long time." Cao Jianguo rubbed his waist and found that it was not like the soreness in his waist after sitting in the car for a long time.

.

"Dad, let me tell you, if you spend enough money, the car you buy will definitely be different." Cao Shujie said to him with a smile.

Mengmeng also shouted: "Grandpa, I don't have backache either."

"You're a little kid, do you know what back pain is?" Cheng Xiaolin said about her daughter.

Besides, when Mengmeng was sleeping just now, Cheng Xiaolin had already put the seat back for her at a 135-degree angle. It couldn't be said to be as comfortable as a bed at home, but it was much better than an ordinary car seat. What could she feel?

.

Cao Shujie looked at the road signs and drove. After about 10 minutes, he turned at Zhongtong Avenue and headed west.

At this time, Cao Zhenghu also said to his grandson: "Shujie, we are almost there."

"Grandpa, do you still remember the way to my brother Bin's house?" Cao Shujie asked.

He had lived in the capital most of his life, and he came here only a few times, so he didn't have much impression.

Cao Zhenghu nodded: "I definitely remember it."

"Brother Bin is in Room 1601, Building 16, Building C. Let's go in directly from the north gate of Golden City and turn east. There is a parking space inside." Cao Zhenghu remembered it very clearly.

Cao Shujie recited the building number silently twice to remember the building number. When he drove to the intersection of Golden City, Cao Zhenghu asked him to drive north and turn west at the intersection ahead so that he could enter through the north gate of Golden City.

But when I was at the door, I was checked by the security guard.

The security guard at the door saw that they were from out of town and did not have entry authority, so he refused to let them in without saying anything.

It was Cao Shujie who called his cousin Cao Shubin and asked Cao Shubin to come down and pick him up.

Cao Zhenghu also argued with him: "My grandson's family lives here, and I also lived here before. I just told you, why don't you believe it?"

The security guard also had trouble saying that he allowed Cao Zhenghu to say a few words to him without saying a word.

It wasn't until Cao Shubin came over and told the security guard to register that Cao Shujie drove in.

Cao Shubin turned around and led the way, and found an empty parking space for Cao Shujie to stop. Cao Zhenghu also asked his grandson: "Shubin, didn't you check the door before?"

"Grandpa, things were lost one after another in the community some time ago, which caused a lot of anger and resentment. Many owners have been looking for an explanation from the property management, and then the security guard started to take it seriously," Cao Shubin said.

"Oh, that's it. The little security guard just said the reason. If he didn't tell me, I thought it was something." Cao Zhenghu said.

Cao Shubin looked at his younger siblings, niece, second uncle, and second aunt who got off the car. He smiled and asked, "You must be tired after riding all the way. Come home with me quickly."

Wang Yuelan and Cao Jianguo got out of the car and looked at the community in front of them. They were surrounded by more than 20-story high-rise buildings. At first glance, they felt a little dizzy.

"Shubin, the house in your community is not cheap, right?" Wang Yuelan asked.

Cao Shubin said: "Second Aunt, it's not bad. This house is much cheaper than the house my brother bought in Beijing before."

"Oh!" Wang Yuelan nodded, she had no idea about this.

But Cao Shubin looked at the car that his cousin had just driven over and asked him: "Shujie, did you just buy this?"

"Yes, Brother Bin, what do you think?" Cao Shujie said with a smile.

"Except for the high fuel consumption, everything else is pretty good," Cao Shubin said.

He also asked: "How much did you buy this car for?"

"410,000 yuan landed." Cao Shujie didn't hide anything, he said whatever he wanted.

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Shubin was surprised and said: "Good guy, did you buy the best one?"

Cao Shujie nodded: "Yes."

"You are really good. If you add another 200,000 yuan, you can buy my house in full." Cao Shubin said.

When Wang Yuelan heard what her eldest nephew said, she suddenly had a more concrete idea of ​​her son's car. She was also thinking that her son was just driving a house.

This emotion passed through his heart. Cao Shujie walked to the back of the car, opened the trunk, and took down the things he brought with his father Cao Jianguo. Cao Shujie also said: "Brother Bin, I will bring you something from my hometown."

.”

"You can just come, why bring anything else?" Cao Shubin said.

At this moment, another voice came from the front: "Grandpa, second uncle, second aunt, why don't you go up?"

The second brother, Cao Shuxin, saw them upstairs and refused to go up, so he also came down.

"Shu Xin, why are you down again?"

"Second brother." Cheng Xiaolin shouted.

She also told her daughter Mengmeng, "Mengmeng, hurry up and call the second uncle."

"Hello, second uncle." Mengmeng shouted.

"Hey, Mengmeng, do you miss the second uncle?" Cao Shuxin asked her.

Mengmeng nodded: "I think so."

"The second uncle even bought me toys!" Mengmeng said with a sweet smile.

We just met during Qingming Festival, less than a month ago, and Mengmeng remembers it very clearly.

Hearing her say that Cao Shuxin bought her toys, the whole family laughed.

"Mengmeng, let's go quickly. Your aunt and second mother have prepared a lot of fruits for you." Cao Shuxin said.

When she heard that there was food, Mengmeng had a very expressive expression on her face. She grabbed her mother's hand and wanted to run upstairs.

However, when they passed a small square downstairs in the community, they saw many children playing slides, swings and other games. They were so cute that they couldn't leave.

She kept turning her head and looking over there, put her little hand on her mouth, and said to her mother: "Mom, I want to go over and play."

"We can't do it now. Let's go home for dinner first. The second uncle will take you down to play later, okay?" Cao Shuxin said.

"Yes, let's go home for dinner first. Later, the uncle will bring you down to play, and your two brothers will also come down to play together." Cao Shubin said this.

Mengmeng's eyes lit up when she heard that she still had playmates: "Okay then!"

"Mengmeng, hurry up, there are a lot of delicious food today!" Cao Shuxin led the way.

As soon as he walked to the elevator, Cao Shuxin came back and picked up Mengmeng: "Mengmeng, the second uncle is holding you, let's go upstairs to eat quickly."

Only then did Mengmeng calm down, put her arms around Cao Shuxin's neck, and let him carry her into the elevator.

Uncle Cao Jianlin was waiting at the door. When he saw them coming up, Cao Jianlin hurried to the elevator entrance.

When he saw Cao Zhenghu coming out of the elevator, Cao Jianlin shouted: "Dad!"

"Hey, Jianlin." Cao Zhenghu called out when he saw their boss.

"Dad, please sit down in the room and rest for a while." Cao Jianlin said.

He helped his old father into the house.

Zhang Yi and Ren Jingjing are still busy cooking.

When Cao Shujie entered, he saw that a table full of dishes had been placed in the restaurant, and the two sisters-in-law were bringing dishes to the table from the kitchen.

Seeing them coming in, Zhang Yi and Ren Jingjing kept saying hello.

Knowing that Cao Shujie and the others were coming last night, brothers Cao Shubin and Cao Shuxin had been making preparations. They picked up their old father early this morning, and Cao Shubin called his brother and his family of three to come to Golden City.

He himself went to the general manager to ask for leave and did not even go to work in the company.

But Cao Shubin would not tell his cousin Cao Shujie and the others these things.

"Second uncle, are you having a smooth journey?" Cao Shubin asked.
