Chapter 357 The Land of Past Glory (8,200,120,000)(2/2)
Last night, Cao Shujie was making a guide, and they didn't miss any of the special snacks they found on the Internet.
It was too cold at night, so after dinner, they canceled their original plan to take a walk and hurried back to the hotel.
Cao Zhenhu also said: "Shujie, have you noticed? There are not many people here."
Cao Shujie nodded, he also saw this detail.
As for the specific reasons, to put it bluntly, it has to do with the local economy. The overall economy is relatively poor, and the population is prone to outmigration.
The two men were talking about this, and then talked about where to go to play tomorrow.
The area where they are now has a lot of places to play.
Considering that his grandfather was getting older after all, Cao Shujie did not plan to go further afield. He picked a few scenic spots that were relatively concentrated and planned to drive around them tomorrow to experience the historical Liangzhou culture.
In any case, this was also an important city on the ancient Silk Road and was once the largest oasis in the Hexi Corridor.
Historically, even the ambitious Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up a county here. At that time, this place was once the center of the entire northwest region, which shows the prosperity of its economy.
It’s just that all of this has become history, and it’s far worse now than it was back then.
…
While Cao Shujie was playing outside with his grandfather, wife, children, mother and mother-in-law, 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 discussed with his two sons about bringing his old father back from his hometown. According to the previous agreement, it was their turn to take care of the old man next year.
"Shu Bin, Shu Xin, I will call your second uncle later and let him know in advance." Cao Jianlin said.
The two brothers nodded almost simultaneously.
"Dad, just call. We will bring grandpa back by December," said the boss, Cao Shubin.
The second eldest son, Cao Shuxin, also said, "When grandpa comes, stay with me for a while."
Cao Jianlin listened to the brothers discussing there, and he called his brother Cao Jianguo first.
After waiting for the call to be connected, he heard his brother's voice from the other side of the phone: "Brother, why did you remember to call?"
"I think it's almost the end of the year, and I'll bring our dad back by then," Cao Jianlin said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Jianguo hesitated: "Brother, why don't we let our father stay in our hometown for a while?"
"It just so happens that Shujie has nothing to do. You are quite 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 have nothing to do. I just stay with my father."
He also said: "How about you ask our father if he is willing to come back."
Cao Jianguo was a little embarrassed.
Cao Jianlin became anxious when he heard this. What happened?
Is it possible that something unexpected happened to the old father and his second brother has been hiding it?
How confusing!
"Jianguo, what's wrong with our father?" he asked anxiously.
Cao Jianguo then said: "Brother, our father went on a trip with Shujie and the others."
"They said they were going to Xinjiang, but I can't tell where they are now?" Cao Jianguo said to his elder brother.
When Cao Jianlin heard what his brother said, he was really caught off guard. It was different from what he thought.
Fortunately, everyone is fine.
"When did they go? Didn't they say when they would come back?" Cao Jianlin asked.
"Brother, when Shujie left, he said he would be back in ten days and a half. Today is the fourth day."
He said: "Why don't I tell our father after they come back."
The old brothers chatted for a while and then hung up the phone.
Cao Jianlin explained the situation to his two sons.
Neither Cao Shubin nor Cao Shuxin expected this to happen, and they were also surprised.
But to be honest, in this aspect, the two brothers are really not as good as their cousin.
But there is nothing we can do about it.
Cao Shubin works in a foreign company as a purchasing manager. Although the salary is not low, there is little freedom.
Cao Shuxin has been busy with his career in the past two years. He has been bumping into things. It is just the beginning and he cannot spare much time.
But thinking of what his cousin had done for his grandfather, Cao Shubin said: "When we get my grandfather back and the weather gets warmer, let's take some time to take him out for a walk."
"Okay, I have no problem." Cao Shuxin agreed happily.
Cao Jianlin felt very comforted when he heard what they said.
At least nothing unfilial happened in the Cao family.
