The leisurely life of a reborn dad

"Dad, look, there is a boat there." As they walked along the flow of people, Mengmeng suddenly pointed to the river and said.

Cao Shujie looked towards the river and found that there were indeed a few boats slowly wandering in the water.

There were people operating from above, and there were also people wearing orange life jackets sitting in the boat, bending down and reaching out to paddle. There was a naughty child who picked up a handful of water with the palm of his hand and threw it towards the front. Under the light, the water thrown out was reflected. It looks very beautiful with colorful lights.

Mengmeng wanted to take a boat ride. She hadn't had enough time in the primeval forest park yesterday, and now she couldn't move her legs when she saw the boat.

"Let's go, walk slowly, I'll go over and ask about the price of chartering a boat." Cao Shujie said to his daughter.

He doesn't like too many people on the same boat, and a family is just fine.

After saying this, he followed the flow of people and walked towards the small port where the ship was parked.

There were many people who wanted to take the boat just like Mengmeng. Everyone was more quality-oriented and lined up to go forward.

Occasionally, there would be one or two people who jumped in line, but they would be scolded by the people behind them and run away in despair.

When he finally reached Cao Shujie in line, he approached the conductor and asked about the price of the chartered boat.

After the people inside quoted the price, Cao Shujie heard a buddy next to him say: "Why is it so expensive now? When I took it before, it was one-third cheaper."

Cao Shujie smiled, this is understandable, after all it is the Chinese New Year!

There are also many people coming here at this time. These tourists come here specifically for boating. It would definitely be cheaper under normal circumstances.

"Brother, do you want to play? If you are late, please pay. If you don't want to play, please give way." said the female conductor inside.

Cao Shujie quickly handed over the money and chartered the boat.

After completing the formalities, he came out of the crowd with the ticket and saw his parents, grandfather, wife and daughter resting not far behind. He waved to them and motioned for them to come over, and then they boarded a big boat at the pier together.

Grandpa Cao Zhenghu didn't want to get on the boat yet. He was a little seasick in a small boat. But when he saw that his grandson had chartered a big boat this time, he didn't say anything.

They followed him up together, and Cao Zhenghu asked his grandson: "Shujie, how much does it cost?"

"It's not very expensive, more than 1,000." Cao Shujie said.

Cao Jianguo and Wang Yuelan were both accustomed to their son's different consumption standards. They concentrated on supporting their father and Mengmeng, and occasionally looked at the fish in the water and the colorful lights on the shore.

This boat mainly goes around Shuizhai and Moleng Island, and the projects of this type are all very similar.

Mengmeng ran to this side of the boat and looked there. If Cao Shujie hadn't tied a rope to Mengmeng's wrist when he got on the boat, he would not have dared to let Mengmeng play so wildly.

"Dad, look, it's so beautiful here. There are so many fish in the water!" Mengmeng lay on the edge of the boat and watched the boat split the water flow in the middle and sail forward smoothly. She thought it was really fun.

After they completed a circle and got off the boat, they blended into the crowd on the shore.

Seeing a small street selling delicious food, Mengmeng took her grandma's hand and ran forward.

As soon as I came over, I smelled a strong fragrance.

He looked at the smoke rising from various stalls and the sound of burning grease. Looking at this scene, he stood there greedily and refused to leave.

Especially when various shouts came from her ears, Mengmeng looked at the stalls without moving.

Wang Yuelan held her hand and walked to those stalls. She also asked her granddaughter what she wanted to eat and bought it for her.

"Grandma, I want to eat that, that, and that..." Mengmeng pointed at five or six places in succession, wanting to eat everything.

Wang Yuelan heard Mengmeng say this and asked her if she hadn't eaten enough just now.

"I'm full, but the food here is too delicious. I want to eat some more." Mengmeng said this.

Wang Yuelan watched her daughter stare with greed. After thinking about it, she cut it in half and bought her some snacks.

After her father-in-law, wife, son, and daughter-in-law came over, Wang Yuelan asked them if they wanted to eat.

When they heard the word "eat", except for Mengmeng, everyone else waved their hands and frowned.

It's not like eating all the time, and my stomach can't stand it.

Adults are more restrained.

Cheng Xiaolin saw that the small island next to her was selling all kinds of handicrafts. There were also people knitting various handicrafts with a pair of dexterous hands at the night market. She was very envious and walked over to watch them weave a few threads. It turned into various gadgets, and I just felt that the craftsman's hands were incredibly dexterous.

In the end, Cheng Xiaolin also bought two hand-knitted animals for Mengmeng, which looked vivid and very cute.

After walking for a long time, he suddenly felt thirsty. Cao Shujie saw a stall not far ahead that used fresh fruits to squeeze juice. After asking around, he went over and bought 6 cups, two of which were sweet and sour. Yes, for grandpa and his wife Cheng Xiaolin.

Unconsciously, a few hours passed and they almost visited the night market.

Cheng Xiaolin couldn't bear it anymore and felt too tired, so she drove back to the Sheraton Hotel.

"Dad, where should we go to play tomorrow?" Mengmeng asked.

Cao Shujie didn't think about it. He told Mengmeng to take a look after he got back.

Mengmeng didn't urge her, she was so sleepy now that she couldn't even open her eyes.

…

Over the next two days, Cao Shujie took his family to the Relin Botanical Garden of the Academy of Sciences, Wild Elephant Valley Tropical Rainforest Scenic Area, Splashing Water Square, etc.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, they also went to Manhena Natural Village to experience the local customs and customs.

After waiting to leave Manhena Natural Village, this time even Mengmeng, who likes to play the most, doesn’t want to go anywhere else.

She also felt too tired.

When she returned to the hotel in the evening, Mengmeng asked Cao Shujie when he was going home as soon as he got off the car.

"Aren't you going to play anymore?" Cao Shujie looked at her with a half-smile.

Mengmeng quickly shook her head and said with a very firm attitude: "I won't play anymore. I don't want to play anywhere anymore."

Six days have passed since the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and tomorrow is the fifth day of the first lunar month.

It happened that the eldest brother and the second brother were going back to Anyi City the day after tomorrow, and grandpa Cao Zhenghu also wanted to go back.

Cao Shujie asked the hotel to book air tickets for them. There happened to be one on the morning of the fifth day of the first lunar month, taking off at about 10 o'clock and arriving at Quancheng Airport at about 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

In this way, they drove back to Caojiazhuang, which was around 5 o'clock in the evening, without any delay in getting together with the eldest brother and the second brother in the evening.

The facts are similar to what Cao Shujie thought.

They got on the plane from Gasa International Airport, and the plane landed at Quancheng Airport before 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

He asked his wife, daughter and parents to take his grandfather to wait at the entrance of the waiting room. Cao Shujie went to the back to retrieve all their suitcases and the various gifts and snacks they bought from this trip to Xishuangbanna.

After going to the parking lot to retrieve the car, Cao Shujie drove his family towards Caojiazhuang.
