Chapter 1997 The Journey Begins
On July 20, the family trip that had been planned for this year finally started. The trip was planned to last for 10 days. If you have fun, you can extend it for a few days.
For this trip, Yang Dongxu went back to his hometown and persuaded the elderly to travel. When people get older, they don't want to go out, for fear that they will get into an accident and can't come back.
But Yang Dongxu thought that except for his father-in-law Zhou Yiren, who is a little younger, the elderly in the family, whether it is his grandparents or grandparents, although they are in good health, they are all in their seventies or eighties.
At this age, it's not nice to say that the days are counted, and it can be said that one day less. Not to mention that there is also an old man Xuan who is over 100 years old.
Except for the old man Xuan who traveled all over the country when he was young, and his father-in-law who worked and conducted research all over the country. The grandparents and grandparents have basically been in their hometown all their lives and have basically never been to other places.
Even when Yang Dongxu was studying in Yanjing, the number of times the elderly in his family went to Yanjing to see him was very few.
So while the elderly are still healthy and can walk around, Yang Dongxu thought about taking them for a walk, otherwise the elderly would not be able to bear the long travel time.
He wanted to squeeze out a few months to take the elderly to see the world.
Before the trip, Yang Dongxu first took the doctor to the house to give each elderly a comprehensive examination, and confirmed that they were all healthy and safe to take the plane.
Only then did he drive his own plane to Zhucheng, and then take off directly to Yunnan. Anhui Province is a bit far from Yunnan. If he took a bus to Yunnan, Yang Dongxu was afraid that the elderly would not be able to bear it for a long time. So it is more convenient to take a plane.
After getting off the plane, he took a tourist bus directly, and several families were taken at once without having to take them in batches.
"Let's go to the hotel to rest first. If it's not too hot in the afternoon, we will go for a walk. If it's hot, we will go out in the evening."
In the bus, Yang Dongxu was like a tour guide, giving a brief introduction to the trip.
The purpose of the plane landing is Dali. Although Dali is a bit far from the neighboring country, if you want to travel to the neighboring country, Xishuangbanna is a good choice.
However, after the agreement, the foreign travel destination is Thailand, and it is not to travel to the nearest place in the neighboring country. Instead, it is to go to Bangkok, a tourist city on the south of Thailand by the sea, so it is still necessary to take a plane.
Therefore, Yang Dongxu decided to travel to Dali. If he is interested, he can go to Lijiang after visiting Dali, and then go to Bangkok.
The weather in the north in July is still very hot, and the temperature of more than 30 degrees is common. There are many spring cities in Yunnan, and even if it is hot during the day, it will be cool at night.
So if the sun is poisonous today, stay in the hotel and wait until the evening before going out.
"Elephant, elephant, when can uncle see the elephant?" The adults naturally have no objection to Yang Dongxu's arrangement. Lan Yi, the little sister's child who is almost five years old and is the age of cats and dogs, shouted.
This little guy is chubby, and it is true that nephews are like uncles. If he had not been reborn, Yang Dongxu in his previous life was also naughty and mischievous when he was a child.
Either he would rob bird nests or use cannons to blow up cow dung. Although he had not done anything harmful to the world, he really made the dogs at home avoid him.
"The elephants can only be seen at the next stop of the tour. Let's go to the hotel to get some delicious food first, and then go out to play after we are full."
Because the elderly came this time, it can be said that the whole family went out, including my uncle's family, my eldest sister's family, my younger sister's family, and my grandfather's family.
Ran Feifei, who did not go home during the Chinese New Year to avoid blind dates, also accompanied her parents on this trip, and her younger brother Ran Hao also came.
Compared with her aunt who wanted her son to go to college, even if it was just a private school. Ran Feifei did ideological work for her parents.
She said that since her brother's academic performance was really not good and he didn't want to stay in school, he should go out to exercise.
At first, she wanted to take Ran Hao to exercise, but her grandfather did not agree. It was said that Ran Hao was going to be sent to the army, but the little grandma disagreed with this proposal.
After much discussion, it was finally decided that Ran Hao would stay in his hometown for two years after school and not go anywhere. The little grandpa took him to run his own business to hone his skills.
Let him first get in touch with society and understand some human relationships, and then whether he wants to manage his own furniture store at home or go out and make his own way, it's up to him.
Ran Hao definitely disagreed at first. He finally graduated from high school and became an adult. How could he be willing to be watched by his parents at home?
But the whole family agreed that his objection was invalid by a three-to-one ratio. So he could only stay at home honestly for the past two years.
Although the little grandpa did not adhere to the principle of "no beating, no achievement" in educating his children, he would never spoil them. So Ran Hao is now doing hard labor in his own furniture store.
Every day, he follows the car to deliver furniture, loading and unloading goods, and is busy all day without free time. So over the past year, the original green boy has become a little man who looks stronger than Yang Dongjie, a guy who studies sports.
The group of people who arrived at the hotel attracted a lot of attention. After all, this tour group consisted of dozens of people, and the elderly and children were all talking and laughing with each other. It was obvious that they were a whole family out for a trip.
Family travel is not new, but such a big family, and they are staying in a five-star hotel. This will inevitably make people look at it more.
"Mom, stop talking, hurry up, I'm hungry!" Yang Dongjie said while pulling the luggage.
Originally, he wanted to push his grandfather's wheelchair, but his father took over the job. His uncle pushed his grandmother's side, and his cousin's grandmother and father-in-law were in good health and didn't need wheelchairs.
He didn't dare to move forward to Grandpa Xuan's side. As for his cousin's grandparents, there were his aunt, cousins and cousins, so he didn't need him.
So he could only start to move the luggage down from the bus with Ran Hao. Even if each person in this big family has only one suitcase, there are dozens of suitcases.
Therefore, Yang Dongjie, who was constantly moving the luggage, saw his mother who was still excited and asked Dong Yao all the way. Dong Yao looked at him for help, so he had to shout to his mother.
"Yes, yes, let's go to the hotel first to see what we can eat. The airplane food is not tasty at all!" The young aunt realized that she couldn't let her daughter-in-law go hungry, so she quickly pulled her daughter-in-law into the hotel.
Dong Yao could only follow helplessly.
It is said that daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law are natural enemies, but her mother-in-law is too enthusiastic.
When she first came with the group, Dong Yao was always worried whether the people in the Yang family would look down on her and think that she was not worthy of Yang Dongjie.
As a result, the smile on the face of her future mother-in-law never disappeared as soon as they met, and the big white teeth in her mouth could be seen all the time.
