The next day, afternoon.
It's three o'clock in the afternoon. It's almost time, and the sun is not as fierce as noon.
I sat on the Kyushu mini car that was fully charged after a night.
Uncle Liu first turned on the air conditioner and waited for the temperature of the vehicle to drop before he greeted his wife.
"Let's go pick up our grandson!"
Kyushu Mini skillfully drove out of its small yard and headed towards the city more than ten kilometers away.
"At this time, will it be a little late?" Aunt Chen was a little worried.
Uncle Liu: "It's okay, I've done the math. My grandson gets out of school at 4:50, and it's only 3:30 now.
It took half an hour on the road, which was enough for us to get there, but we still had to wait outside the school for dozens of minutes before he would get out of school. "
"Well, it's my first time driving this road, so it would be better to have more time."
"By the way, have you told your son that we are going to pick up your grandson?" Aunt Chen asked again.
Uncle Liu shook his head: "Not yet, give them a call. At this time, they must not have gone out yet."
The car drove out of the small village smoothly, and Uncle Liu sighed a little: "Mobile phones, cars, life now is much more convenient than before."
Next to her, Aunt Chen held the Nokia in her hand, and the call had already been dialed.
Toot————
The phone rang twice and was answered.
Aunt Chen said directly: "Hey, Qiangzi, we are going to pick up our grandson today."
On the phone, I was a little surprised by the familiar voice: "Mom, why are you here?"
Looking at the people driving beside her, Aunt Chen said without hesitation: "Your dad said he hasn't seen his grandson for a long time and misses him a little. We don't have anything to do anyway, so we just came over to take a look."
The voice on the phone came: "Well, let me call Hongyu and ask her to buy some good food."
"You don't need to buy any vegetables. We brought some celery and green beans from home. We grew them ourselves in the small yard, so you can eat with confidence!"
After Aunt Chen finished speaking, she finally said.
"Then it's settled, we'll pick up our grandson later."
The phone hangs up.
Kyushu Mini drove steadily on the road along the way.
And because of the hot weather in summer, there are very few vehicles and pedestrians on the road, making it easier to drive than on the training ground in Kyushu!
In less than half an hour, Kyushu Mini successfully arrived outside the elementary school.
Parking the car in a roadside parking space a little far away from the school gate, the two old men did not get out of the car.
The sun is too hot, so it’s more comfortable to stay in an air-conditioned car!
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the summer sunshine was still shining, and pedestrians were passing by in a hurry on the road.
Looking at the time, Uncle Liu smiled and said, "Let me tell you, it's still early, we have to wait here for an hour!"
There was no delay in picking up her grandson from school. Aunt Chen was very satisfied: "Next time, we can wait half an hour later in the evening. It's almost the same if we wait outside the school half an hour in advance."
I didn’t have a car before, so if I wanted to pick up my grandson, I had to come by car long in advance.
And they either have to send their children back home at night or wait until the next day before taking the car home.
Whether it is sending the children back or staying at the children's home, it is always inconvenient.
Now that they have a car, they don't have so many worries. They can go home by themselves after dinner!
The car stopped, and Uncle Liu pressed the radio button on the car to automatically search for wireless signals.
Among the noisy sounds, the sounds of hosts or music players came from the door speakers.
"Whether we can meet again, I have been praying for thousands of years in front of the Buddha. Before I stepped on this Naihe Bridge..."
"Hello, listeners, welcome to the Music Space program, FM102.6, the voice of Chengdu City."
"Sister Liu, Sister Liu, can you hear me? This is the voice of emotion..."
The seat was adjusted to a comfortable lying position. Uncle Liu picked a program he liked better, looked at the shops on the street, looked at the white clouds in the distance, and took a nap with half-squinted eyes.
An hour passed quickly.
Around them, there are gradually more parents picking up students, driving cars or electric vehicles, waiting for the moment the school gate opens.
After looking at the time on his phone, Uncle Liu arranged and said: "It's almost time. I'll pick up my grandson. You can wait for us here."
"Let's go together."
The two old men slowly came to the school gate.
Within a few minutes, the school door opened and students carrying small schoolbags poured out.
The two stared closely at the school gate.
Soon I saw a familiar figure walking out of the school gate carrying a schoolbag and talking and laughing with his classmates.
Uncle Liu quickly shouted: "Zhixiang!"
Upon hearing his name, the seven or eight-year-old boy looked towards the source of the sound.
"Wang Hao, I'll talk to you about Ultraman Taro tomorrow!"
After turning around and saying something to the classmate next to him, the child ran over quickly with a happy smile on his face.
"Grandpa, grandma, why are you here!" The child came to the two of them.
Uncle Liu smiled and said: "We are here to pick you up from school. Come on, let's go home!"
Leading the children, the three of them headed towards the parking space on the side of the road.
Liu Zhixiang looked at his grandparents in confusion: "Hey, this is not where our family goes."
"Let's go home by car!" Uncle Liu pointed to the white car parked in front of him.
"Wow, what kind of car is this? It's so comfortable. Let's go back in this?!"
Liu Zhixiang quickly ran to the parking space and looked around Kyushu Mini carefully.
Uncle Liu opened the car door and said to his grandson at the same time: "This is the new car my grandparents bought, Kyushu Mini. From now on, I can drive it to pick you up from school often."
"When you want to come to your grandparents' house to play, just ask your dad to call grandma, and grandpa will come to pick you up!" Aunt Chen said with a kind smile on her face.
Liu Zhixiang got into the back seat of the car: "Great, I want to go play in the creek next to my grandpa's house!!"
Uncle Liu said seriously: "You can't go into the water alone. If your grandparents are with us, we can go to a shallower place to touch crabs."
Liu Zhixiang nodded: "I'm going. I'm going. Grandpa, please pick me up this Sunday."
"Okay, okay." Seeing that his grandson liked it, Uncle Liu just felt that this car was worth buying!
Aunt Chen, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said. "Grandpa and grandma can come to play with you more often in the future. Aren't you happy?"
"Yeah, I'm very happy!"
The car started and drove towards the distant community.
Along the way, Uncle Liu drove very seriously. It doesn't matter if he goes a little slower, just stay in the slow lane.
There was no danger, and the vehicle parked under the building in the community.
"It's much faster than me walking home. This car is great!" The grandson who got off the car looked at the car again and liked it very much!
