Chapter 816 I Won’t Save You This Time (Extra 2)
Still Like a Dream (Part 2)
The day after checking in at Caiyueyuan, staff member Chen Yan gave the Xiao family the travel guide he had prepared earlier: "There are several famous attractions here, and one of them is a lake cruise with a dock nearby for boarding.
We have both small and large boats. If you like, we can also help you book tickets. We are all cooperative units and have discounts. "
Perhaps fearing that the Xiao family might misunderstand her, she added, "Of course, you can also buy directly on the website, the prices are open and transparent."
Seeing that the little girl was quite honest, Xiao's mother made the decision directly: "Little girl, please book the tickets for us! We trust you!"
"Okay, Auntie!" Chen Yan was also very happy to have the trust of the customer, "Is it a big boat or a small boat? The big boat has more people, but the price is cheaper, and the small boat is chartered individually, so the price is a bit more expensive."
Out of her frugal habit, Xiao's mother wanted to take a big ship.
but
"Excuse me, we want to take a boat!" Xiao Ruo suddenly said, changing his mother's plan, "I think a boat will be quieter."
Father Xiao knew that his daughter didn't like noisy environments, so he quickly echoed, "Yes, yes, the boat is good, the boat is good!"
Mother Xiao glared at the father and daughter, but did not object.
Then the family of three went out.
Chen Yan went to contact a ship for them.
An hour later, the three members of the Xiao family were sitting on a black-sailed boat, and the boat was driven by a pair of young sisters.
"Girl, can you row this boat?" Xiao's mother glanced at the other party's not-so-thick arms and said with some concern.
The sister who was in charge of "rowing the boat" said, "Don't worry, Auntie! Boats are all mechanical nowadays, I just row them occasionally."
The elder sister also said: "Yes! I am in charge of steering the boat, and I am here to perform for you and introduce you to the scenic spots. Uncles and aunts, don't worry! I have been doing this for several years and I am very experienced."
Xiao's mother didn't say anything else, and the family of three got on the boat.
Along the way, the sisters took turns introducing the tourist spots, which were quite witty and occasionally made people laugh out loud.
The journey that would have taken the big ship 40 minutes was completed, but the small boat took a leisurely 90 minutes. During this time, the sisters brewed their own tea for the Xiao family.
Originally, Xiao's mother didn't want to drink it because she was afraid of being charged too much or being pushed into tea sales.
"Auntie, it's okay. We don't sell you anything. The tea is included in your purchase." My sister said with a smile, "We are different from those privately owned boats. We are supervised by the government."
After hearing this, Xiao's mother felt relieved.
On the way back, they had become familiar with each other, so Xiao's mother asked curiously, "I see you are still young, are you still in school?"
"I'm still in school and it's vacation now. I'll help my sister for a few days!" The younger sister explained with a smile, "My sister has graduated from a junior college, but she hasn't found a good job yet. But this is what our family does.
So I just took over our father's job and continued doing this."
Seeing that Xiao's mother looked unhappy, the elder sister scolded with a smile: "Auntie, don't listen to my sister's pitiful words. I volunteered to do this. There are not many boats in total. I earn a lot this month."
"Ah?" The younger sister seemed to have not expected that her words had aroused the sympathy of the customer, and she quickly explained, "Auntie, we are not pitiful.
My family is a native of Yuzhou and has their own tea plantation. Although this boat is now under the unified management of the government, it is very valuable. "
"Puchi!" Xiao Ruo laughed when she saw the two sisters hurriedly explaining, "Mom, the people who have boats and tea gardens here are richer than our family."
Then she turned to her sister and asked, "Did you just get into college?"
"Yes! I am a freshman this year, and my major is planting, which will be convenient for me to manage my family's tea garden in the future." My sister said proudly, "My father told me to study hard, and as long as I get good grades, he will support me to study for a master's degree and a doctorate in the future."
The elder sister looked at her younger sister with her head held high like a peacock and said with a click of the tongue: "Then you must not be lazy, otherwise you will not be able to pass the postgraduate entrance examination."
"Sister..." the younger sister said coquettishly.
Mother Xiao looked at their laughing faces and said to her daughter, "They have such a good relationship as sisters."
Xiao Ruo smiled and nodded.
Traveling through time, she seemed to see the fisherman sisters again, except that they were much happier living in modern times.
When the boat docked, the sister even left her WeChat with Xiao Ruo. In her words, she said, "I think we get along very well. When you need to take a boat again in the future, contact me directly and I'll give you a discount."
"Okay! Okay!" Xiao's mother quickly asked Xiao Ru to add her on WeChat.
After getting off the boat, I looked back and saw the two sisters still waving goodbye to Xiao Ruo.
In the misty water, only the shadows of boats and people could be seen, which really overlapped with the scenes from many years ago.
In shock, Xiao's mother pulled her daughter and said, "Ruoruo, look, is that Xiaoyan?"
Xiao Ruo looked in the direction his mother pointed and found that Yan Zhen was patrolling the streets and enforcing the law.
With a serious and focused expression, he looks righteous.
"This young man is good!" Xiao's mother exclaimed again.
Father Xiao curled his lips and said, "How good can it be? In your eyes, appearance is justice!"
Xiao Ruo listened to the conversation between the two happy enemies and chuckled, "Okay, let's not talk about others! Mom and Dad, I'm hungry. Shall we go eat?"
"Okay! Let's find a restaurant!" Xiao's mother didn't continue the topic, and walked into a special restaurant on the roadside with the father and daughter.
Since we are here, we should have a meal of local specialties.
Yan Zhen, who was on duty, seemed to sense something. He looked up and saw the Xiao family members walking by not far away. His expression changed slightly. His colleagues noticed it and asked, "Captain Yan, what's wrong?"
Yan Zhen looked at the time and it was already lunch time: "It's lunch break, let's go eat!"
"Captain Yan, let's go back to the team and eat! The restaurants here are a bit expensive, and most of the people who go there are from other places." Yan Zhen's colleague reminded, "Anyway, there is still food to be had if we go back now."
Yan Zhen patted the other person's shoulder and said, "Go back! I have something else to do, so I'll eat nearby."
Although he didn't know what the other party wanted to say, the colleague went back without saying anything.
"Welcome!" The waiter looked at the policeman who often patrolled nearby and walked into his restaurant, and looked at his boss suspiciously.
Yan Zhen coughed lightly and said directly: "I don't have time to go back today, so I'll have a meal at your house."
The Xiao family's three members were sitting in the hall. It was dinner time and there were no extra seats. When she saw Yan Zhen, she greeted him, "It's Officer Yan! Let's share a table!"
Yan Zhen sat down next to Xiao Ruo unceremoniously and said with a smile: "Thank you, Auntie!"
Xiao Ruo did not express her opinion. She felt that there was a long time to come and everything should just take its course.
