It only takes fifteen hours to drive from Chang'an to Donghai. If you rest on the way, you can reach Donghai at noon tomorrow.
In order not to expose your whereabouts, driving is of course the best choice.
Su Qin's luggage had already been packed. They went back to collect their luggage and set off directly.
Since Su Qin had some drinks with Mr. Han in the afternoon, Chen Qiming drove the first half of the journey.
When he woke up, it was already four o'clock in the morning. Su Qin's drunkenness had already dissipated, so he let Chen Qiming rest and let him drive.
The New Year is approaching, and most of the people on the road are tourists returning home, and the highway service stations are even more crowded.
No country can understand the meaning of the Han and Tang Federation people rushing home before New Year's Eve. Only the Han and Tang Federation people themselves know what it means to go home for the New Year.
It means reunion.
Only when there is a home can we be reunited. Nothing can resist the heart of going home. Where the home is, the soul is there.
Just like Su Qin at this moment, the closer he got to the East China Sea, the more excited and uneasy he felt.
In the early morning, they passed by a prosperous county town in Jiangbei Prefecture. They were all a little hungry now, and the East China Sea was not far away, so they went straight off the highway to find a morning market to eat.
Even though it was only after eight o'clock, this street was already extremely lively.
There are vendors setting up stalls everywhere, with a dazzling array of New Year’s goods. Almost all of them are old people buying New Year’s goods, waiting for their children to return home for the New Year.
Su Qin could imagine that her grandparents were also preparing New Year's goods and waiting for their uncle and aunt to come home for the New Year.
Just after twelve o'clock at noon, they finally arrived at Donghai. Su Qin bought a lot of things specially, and there were gifts prepared for them by his sister in the trunk.
Su Qin drove straight to Huaihai Middle Road, where her grandparents lived. This old house was given to her by her mother for their retirement. Opposite it was the Donghai Library, and nearby were the former residences of celebrities.
Over the years, Su Qin and his sister often mailed things to their grandparents. Although they always said that they didn't need it, Su Qin and his sister still did so. Maybe this could make up for the guilt they felt towards them.
This old bungalow is quiet in the middle of the bustle. It is a typical Spanish-style building. Its exterior wall is bright and bright light cream yellow, with a gently sloping roof and red tube tiles.
It is surrounded by old buildings of almost the same style.
From the outside, you can see all kinds of towering trees inside, including camphor, boxwood, metasequoia, dragon cypress, magnolia and other valuable trees. The parasol trees around the alley are even more green in summer.
Chen Qiming drove the car to the black gate. Su Qin slowly got out of the car and rang the doorbell.
About three minutes later, a woman in her fifties with her hair tied up and plain clothes slowly opened the door. Seeing that Su Qin looked familiar but could not remember her, she asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Who are you looking for?"
Su Qin greeted politely: "You must be Zhou's mother, right?"
Of course Su Qin knew who she was, because she was the nanny and aunt who had taken care of her grandparents for nearly ten years, and she was also the housekeeper of this old bungalow.
Before she could recover, Su Qin leaned over and whispered a few words in her ear.
After hearing what Su Qin said, Zhou Ma froze on the spot as if she were petrified, staring at Su Qin for a long time without regaining consciousness.
Ten seconds later, Zhou's mother's shocked expression turned into an excited smile. She was at a loss and pulled Su Qin. She wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it, so she had to pull Su Qin and walk inside quickly.
He even forgot to open the door and let Chen Qiming drive in.
In the living room by the floor-to-ceiling window of the old bungalow, Qin and Shao, a couple who have retired for a long time and are over 70 years old, are reading and drinking tea in the living room. The two old people have silver hair and wear reading glasses. They are very serious. Their life has been like this almost every day since they retired. .
At this time, Su Qin was waiting outside the door, and Zhou's mother walked in alone.
Before Zhou Ma could speak, the old man Qin Heshao put down the book in his hand and raised his head and asked, "Zhou Ma, who is here? There are no visitors today."
The old lady Yu Ying adjusted her reading glasses and whispered softly: "It must be your old subordinates who came uninvited to pay New Year's greetings."
Zhou Ma suppressed the excitement in her heart and deliberately said: "Uncle Qin, Aunt Yu, we have a distinguished guest in our house today. It will definitely be a surprise for you to see it. I hope you are all mentally prepared and don't get excited for a while." I’ll take you to the hospital.”
Zhou Ma's words made Mr. Qin and the old lady full of curiosity. After they looked at each other for a few seconds, the old lady couldn't help but asked: "What kind of distinguished guests are you? Can this be a surprise? Don't be so secretive. Since If you are a distinguished guest, please come in quickly."
Zhou's mother has stayed in the old house for nearly ten years. She knows the rules of the old house very well, and she almost refuses to see guests unless she has greeted the couple in advance.
No one said hello today. Who can come and see them?
Because of their absolute trust in Zhou Ma, they also believed that he was an honored guest, but they just couldn't guess who it was.
At this time, Zhou Ma turned around with a smile and shouted: "Please come in."
When he heard the voices of his grandparents, Su Qin outside could not wait. He was so excited that his eyes were already red.
Hearing Zhou's mother's words, Su Qin slowly walked into the living room.
When he saw his elderly grandparents looking at him curiously, Su Qin could no longer restrain his emotions. He shouted almost tremblingly: "Grandpa and grandma, Su Qin is back to see you."
After saying this, Su Qin knelt on the ground with a plop.
The old man and the old lady were stunned for a while like Zhou Ma, and seemed to have not yet reacted.
But not long after, the old lady suddenly burst into tears, almost excitedly dancing like a child and rushed towards Su Qin. The frightened mother Zhou quickly told her to be careful.
I saw the old lady hugging Su Qin directly, crying and shouting: "Ah, my grandson is back, my little Su Qin is back, grandma misses you so much, why did you come back, wuwuwu."
Su Qin, who was also in tears, hugged her grandmother tightly and comforted her: "I'm sorry, grandma, Su Qin just came back to see you, I'm sorry."
The old lady was so excited that she didn't know what to say. She just held her grandson and cried bitterly, as if this was the only way to express her longing for the past ten years.
The old man over there had also come to his senses. He had been in a high position for many years and was not as straightforward as the old lady, but he turned around secretly, covering his face with his hands, his body shaking, and tears streaming down his face.
The two old men never expected that today's uninvited guest would be their grandson Su Qin, whom they had not seen for ten years.
What kind of distinguished guest is this to them?
It's their darling that they think about day and night.
Such a touching scene made Zhou's mother and another nanny who came over after hearing the news couldn't help but shed tears. Of course they knew how much the old man and the old lady missed their grandchildren for so many years?
This is definitely the biggest surprise this year for the Qin family.
