In the early morning of September, the sunshine is warm and pure.
Shen Xing carried a large brown backpack for travel and a small suitcase in his hand, which contained Feifei's clothes, daily necessities and toys.
And Feifei herself was carrying a small schoolbag bought by her mother, which contained two extracurricular reading materials.
Now Shen Xing feels more and more like her child's mother. Since living with Feifei, she has gradually transformed from a big and thick old man into a gentle and considerate old aunt.
The suitcase also contains mosquito repellent perfume, a mosquito killer tablet set, a small towel used by Feifei, a small pajamas, a small cartoon pillow, hairpins, hairbands and other messy things.
In Shen Xing's own words, this is true micromanaging.
A few hours of high-speed train ride will pass quickly if you just sit and look at your phone, read two extracurricular books, and enjoy the scenery along the way.
While the two were chatting, every time they arrived at a stop, Shen Xing would tell Feifei where it was and where the next stop would be, whether it belonged to Yungu City or another neighboring city.
After a while, Feifei started reading a book, while Shen Xing looked at the time. Because he left early, Zhao Wenbo might not have gotten up yet, so he called Zhao Wenbo now.
Tell Zhao Wenbo that if you receive a case recently about a buried corpse moving on its own, please be sure to tell yourself.
Although Zhao Wenbo felt puzzled, he still agreed.
Then Shen Xingcai informed him that he and Feifei had left Yungu City and were going back to their hometown in Laicheng to visit relatives and would not return until the Jingji Festival holiday was over.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Wenbo looked suspicious on the other end, as if he was thinking about something. It took him a long time to squeeze out two words from his mouth, and said to himself: "Laicheng?"
Shen Xing was in a good mood. Seeing Feifei starting to read, he didn't want to disturb her anymore. He put on his headphones and listened to the music and looked at the scenery along the way.
About an hour later, the two ordered the braised beef rice and green pepper chicken rice provided in the car.
Shen Xing ate the spicy food, and Feifei had the braised food. All the uneaten food was given to Shen Xing, and nothing was wasted.
"Uncle Shen, what are grandparents doing now?" Feifei asked.
"Now they have opened a canteen in their home in the community." Shen Xing said: "Your grandfather used to work in an automated packaging factory in Laicheng. Now he is retired and receiving a pension, and grandma has been opening a canteen."
"Oh." Feifei nodded and put a piece of braised beef into Shen Xing's bowl while eating. "So, does grandpa have a good temper? I heard that when people get old, their tempers will also become bad."
"Who said that?" Shen Xing asked with a smile.
"Huo Jiajie from our class said that his grandfather had a bad temper and would always yell at his grandmother." Feifei answered.
"No, that's a very special person. Your grandfather doesn't do that. He will only be strict with his uncle, but..." Shen Xing thought for a while and said, "When you just went there, maybe he didn't pay much attention to you. Then It's also because of uncle, it has nothing to do with you. You can get close to grandma first, and wait for one day at most, and grandpa will treat you well. I know his character. "
Feifei nodded thoughtfully: "I know that grandpa will be angry because you suddenly adopted me, but grandma will not."
Shen Xing laughed and nodded.
Communicating with this smart little guy never seemed like a chore.
Thinking of this, she gently scratched Feifei's little nose.
The entire journey was silent.
The high-speed train soon left the scope of Heshan City and entered the jurisdiction of Qishan City.
There are many mountains around Qishan City, and besides the mountains are basins, so after coming here, the temperature here will be higher than that of Heshan City, especially Yungu City.
Children are usually active and sweat a lot, so Shen Xing specially brought a few sets of Feifei's short-sleeved shirts for this reason.
Soon after passing seven more stations, I reported the name of the next station, Laicheng North Station.
Shen Xing said to Feifei: "Put your books away, we will get off the bus in five minutes."
Not long after, the train stopped at Laicheng North Station.
Shen Xing and Feifei took their luggage and walked out of the station. They quickly took a taxi parked in the waiting line and put their luggage in the trunk. After getting in the car, Shen Xing reported their address.
"Master, please go to Hong Maple Leaf Community."
The taxi driver was slightly startled, "Hong Maple Leaf Community?"
"Yes, at the intersection of Liuhui Road and Donglai Street."
"Liu Huilu?" The taxi driver was stunned again. He simply turned his head and apologized on his face: "Sorry, I may not have been there. Can you be more specific?"
"Do you know about Jinhui Plaza? Next to Jinhui Plaza is Liuhui Road. We can get off at the square," Shen Xing said.
"Oh, Jinhui Plaza, I got it!" The taxi driver finally understood, started the car, and quickly drove away from the high-speed rail station.
Feifei glanced at the taxi driver who was obviously a bit crazy about the road, then glanced at Shen Xing, and found that Shen Xing was also looking at her, and then she covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
Laicheng actually has a longer history than Yungu City, but due to the layout of early urban construction, it is no longer easy to develop on the spot.
It did not build a new city directly next to the old city like Yungu City did, completely expanding the city.
Because Laicheng is built on a basin and the terrain is limited, even if a new urban area is built, it will be divided into several small pieces due to the terrain, making it impossible to build and develop in a unified manner.
Along the way, Feifei pointed to the street and kept asking questions, while Shen Xing patiently answered her questions.
About half an hour later, the taxi stopped at the gate of Jinhui Plaza.
The taxi driver said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I really can't find Liu Hui Road. See if you can get off here."
Shen Xing nodded, paid, and took the luggage out of the car with Feifei.
This place is only about 300 meters away from Hongfengye Community on foot. Because the community is close to Jinhui Plaza, it is also more convenient for daily travel and shopping.
Holding Feifei's hand and dragging the suitcase, Shen Xing was carrying a big backpack on his back. As he walked, he said: "After you go back and get to know your grandparents, tomorrow uncle will take you to eat the best food in Laicheng. Let's Have a nice walk around.”
"Okay." Feifei looked happily, looking at the things around her with surprise in her eyes.
Passing through Jinhui Plaza was the gate of Hongmaple Leaf Community. Shen Xing pulled Feifei to the gate of the community. He looked up and stopped immediately.
Feifei stopped and looked up at him inexplicably, then followed Shen Xing's gaze.
The building in front of them was not the Hong Maple Leaf Community, but a 35-story office building named Huihuang Building.
A look of confusion appeared in Shen Xing's eyes. He turned around in surprise and looked around. He didn't find any buildings that looked like a community, let alone the Hong Maple Leaf Community.
"Liu Huilu?"
Shen Xing immediately turned around and found a metal road sign erected at an intersection not far away.
Looking over, I found that it said "Longmen Road".
This name was very unfamiliar to him, as if it was the first time he saw it.
At this moment, his head suddenly felt a little dizzy, and he shook his head slightly, and then a pain like a needle prick came, as if his brain was about to explode.
After throwing away the suitcase, she let go of Feifei's hand and held her head with both hands. Shen Xing groaned in pain and squatted down.
"Uncle Shen?!" Feifei's surprised and anxious voice came to her ears.
