Chapter 575: Preparing for the Visit
"Our place is here." After getting on the high-speed train, Jiang Hai and Ai Xiaoxi quickly found their places. After throwing Ai Xiaoxi's luggage and his own backpack onto the luggage rack above, Jiang Hai Sitting on the seat with Ai Xiaoxi.
Jiang Hai and the others bought business seats on the high-speed train, which are wider than ordinary B-class seats and more comfortable to sit on.
EMUs are different from ordinary trains. China may not be ranked high in the world when it comes to building airplanes, cars and the like, but for EMUs, China is No. 1 in the world. It is not only fast but also of high quality.
At present, most of the cooperation between some developing countries and China uses high-speed rail as a stepping stone.
Speaking of which, trains are much more convenient than other modes of transportation. Not only are they much faster than trains, but you can also connect to the Internet on the trains. Of course, the speed is too fast and you can’t connect to the Internet. But here you can access the Internet. , you can play with your mobile phone.
Getting in the train doesn't have to be as boring as going through security check on a plane, and you can also look at the scenery outside.
The seats are similar to those on an airplane. The second-class seats are similar to ordinary economy class. The first-class seats are more comfortable than the economy class of airplanes. The business seats are no worse than ordinary first-class seats. What Jiang Hai and the others are sitting in now is In business seats, everyone has their own place, and if you book a seat, you don’t have to worry about someone else occupying your seat.
And the most important thing is that the environment is much better than that of the train, and it is not dirty or messy.
Of course, the fare of this car is much more expensive than the train, like a second-class seat, from the imperial capital to Jiang Hai and their destination. Wei City, Shandong Province. It costs almost four hundred dollars. It costs more than 379 yuan, and the business class seat directly costs more than 1100 yuan.
It’s really no more economical than air tickets, but taking this thing is indeed more trouble-free. The journey takes about six hours, and it’s not too far. After getting in the car, Jiang Hai and Ai Xiaoxi put their luggage on it, and then Then he leaned on his seat and started playing with his phone. Ai Xiaoxi also leaned on Jiang Hai's shoulder and looked at the two of them reflected on the phone screen.
"This should be the first time we have been alone together, and we have been together for such a long time." Looking at Jiang Hai on the phone screen, Ai Xiaoxi said softly. After hearing her words, Jiang Hai also recalled For a moment.
It seemed that he had some alone time with everyone else, but Ai Xiaoxi did not.
Oh, it can’t be said that there is none at all. Because that night, they were alone.
But that time clearly cannot be counted as such time. After all, the two of them were not chatting at the beginning or like they are now.
"Yes." Jiang Hai shook Ai Xiaoxi's hand, thought for a moment, and said to her.
"Well, it seems like I'm dreaming. Jiang Hai and I went back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Haha, I really never thought about it before." Ai Xiaoxi rubbed her head, found a comfortable position, and then looked serious Said, but after hearing her words, Jiang Hai didn't know what to say. He could only scratch his head helplessly, and then looked outside with her.
There are more people getting on the train today, but the train is different from the plane. The plane will wait for people for a while. If you remind me, the train will definitely leave when the time comes, especially a high-speed train like this. Although there are many people in the carriage today Quite a bit, but soon after the time came, the train gradually started to move, speeding along the track towards the distance.
Looking at the scenery outside, Jiang Hai and Ai Xiaoxi also chatted.
Mainly Ai Xiaoxi was talking, introducing her hometown to Jiang Hai, Ai Xiaoxi's hometown, in Weishi, Lu Province, China.
But it's not in the urban area of Weicheng City, but in a nearby place similar to the urban-rural fringe.
This place is not far from the seaside, nor is it far from the city. It was developed a few years ago and is now considered a farmhouse attraction. What Jiang Hai is going to today is Ai Xiaoxi's hometown.
After the train arrives in Weishi, you have to transfer to a bus, which takes about two hours to arrive.
Based on this time, it would be almost midnight by the time Jiang Hai and the others arrived at Ai Xiaoxi's house.
So in order to make it easier for them to go there, and also to buy door-to-door gifts in Weishi, they decided to stay in Weishi tonight and take a bus the next day. Naturally, Ai Xiaoxi had to listen to Jiang Hai.
As the train rushed rapidly, Jiang Hai also had a general understanding of this Wei city.
Weishi is a tourist city in the north, but its reputation is far less than that of Qingshi and Lienshi. Generally speaking, northerners say they go to the beach nearby, mainly Lienshi and Qingshi. Generally speaking, Weishi is the place to visit. To be honest, it is even worse.
Although the beach bathing place here is much better than that in Lianshi, the consumption here is also much lower than that in Lianshi.
However, the number of people who come here to play is much smaller than that of Lianshi, because there are no overly famous attractions here.
For those who know history, Weishi is quite interesting to them, because it carries the history of China at its lowest point during the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. The first offshore navy in Chinese history originated here.
The famous Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War also took place here. After the Sino-Japanese War, one of the seven sons who returned to the motherland after being captured by the foreign powers also had a powerful city, but if you come here to play, the only one you can see is Liu Gong- Island, that's all.
If you come here to eat seafood and take a bath in the sea, it is indeed a good place, and the housing prices are also cheap.
But if you come here and want to see something like humanities and history, you may have come to the wrong place.
But in addition, this is also a good place for shopping, because this is the closest place to the island country of China and South Korea.
Therefore, many shops from island countries and South Korea are opened here, not only selling food, but also selling many things produced there.
In fact, they are all domestic, they just have the brand there, but even so, they are much cheaper than other places.
For example, fishing rods and the like are several times cheaper here than in other places inland.
The same carbon fishing rod sells for 80 yuan here, with a complete set, such as a fish float, fish hook, plate and line, etc.
But the same fishing rod costs about 150 yuan in Bingcheng, and about 270 yuan in Shu. This is the difference, so come here to buy some fishing rods and the like. It's still very good to take it back.
After all, Ai Xiaoxi didn't have the energy of Jiang Hai. After talking to Jiang Hai for a while and looking at the scenery outside, she felt a little sleepy and fell asleep in a daze. But Jiang Hai just let it go. She leaned back and sat here all the time.
More than six hours passed very quickly. As the sky got darker, the train gradually entered the railway station in Weishi.
When the train was about to pull into the station, Jiang Hai gently shook Ai Xiaoxi awake, and after letting her sober up, she took her luggage and got off the train.
We took a taxi directly from the train station and went directly to Danga Bay, one of the two best hotels in Wei City.
After getting off the car and booking a room, Jiang Hai and Feng Yunchen went to stay. Jiang Hai didn't show any pomp this time.
It's just an ordinary big bed room. After entering the room, I threw my luggage here first, and then the two of them went to have a buffet.
After returning to the room, the two of them took a shower first. Jiang Hai was fine after taking the train for several hours, but Ai Xiaoxi was already exhausted. Jiang Hai did not torment her any more, but just carried her in. Arrived in dreamland.
This night was probably the most solid night Ai Xiaoxi had slept since she was sensible, because the man she loved held her and slept next to her, and besides her, there was no other woman here. …
Early the next morning, when the sun shone into the room, the two of them woke up one after another.
"Good morning." When Jiang Hai opened his eyes, Ai Xiaoxi was looking at her, her big eyes blinking.
"Good morning..." Hearing her words, Jiang Hai also chuckled. Although he and Aphra had already done some things that they shouldn't do, there was a woman beside him saying good morning to him when he got up in the morning. This is the first time An's incident has happened.
This couldn't help but make Jiang Hai feel a little emotional. He hugged Ai Xiaoxi, and Jiang Hai hugged her hard.
But when he came in, Ai Xiaoxi's face turned red all of a sudden, because it's morning, well, all men know...
"If you want, let me help you solve it." Ai Xiaoxi whispered in Jiang Hai's ear while feeling her stuff.
"Well, forget it, there are still a lot of things to do today, let's get up!" Although I have this idea, but think about it, after all, I have to visit my father-in-law and mother-in-law in name today. Well, if it's too late, it will be troublesome, but Jiang Hai is a little entangled, and Ai Xiaoxi is not too entangled.
After hearing Jiang Hai's words, she had already taken the initiative to shrink down, and the flames of war in the early morning were ignited...
In the blink of an eye, it was almost noon. After Jiang Hai and Ai Xiaoxi checked out of the room, they had another meal in the hotel.
Then we went to the department store here. Since we were going to visit my father-in-law at his home, a gift was indispensable.
Chinese civilization has a long history, so when you go to your father-in-law's house, there are also many men who have concluded one point.
It’s a must to give gifts for the first time, and what you give must be particular and essential. It’s not cigarettes or wine. The standard package of this thing is two bottles of wine worth about 300 yuan, plus a 4-carat bag. About a hundred cigarettes (Zhonghua, Tianzi, Suyan, or the same grade), about a thousand yuan, this is the standard.
If there is really a problem with the economy, the low-end configuration is the same thing, which costs about 600 yuan. If someone like Jiang Hai is not short of money, then it will naturally be the high-end option. If he buys it, he must buy the best. Ever since he got rich, this The temperament of a nouveau riche is evident. (To be continued.)
