Ever since Song Yao married Zuo Huo, Guan Rong liked Song Yao even more. “Ahem, Yao, when are you coming back? Bring your parents and brother along too!”
“Mm, sure,” Song Yao replied. “But it’ll take two days.”
“Anything is fine! Arrange a time for us to prepare.”
Song Yao and Zuo Huo looked at each other and finally said, “Then come the day after tomorrow, but we might be delayed by the traffic for a while.”
“That’s nothing!” Guan Rong said. “When you come to the capital, I’ll bring you to eat roast duck!”
Song Yao chatted with Guan Rong for a while more before hanging up.
Gu Li looked at Song Yao and asked, “What did your mother-in-law tell you?”
Song Yao: “She said that she wants our entire family to go to the capital to travel.”
Upon hearing this, Song Ping was overjoyed. As he was tipsy, he said, “Your mother-in-law wants us to go to the capital? I’ve never been to the capital!”
“I said, drink less! Look, you’re drunk!”
Gu Li was so anxious that she wanted to pull Song Ping down, but Song Ping said, “I’m not drunk! Let me drink another glass! The last glass!”
After he finished speaking, he wanted to pull Liu Mu to drink more, but he was reprimanded by Gu Li and Wang Hong.
The two men were instantly frightened like chicks and immediately retreated.
This made the group of women laugh. “They’re really henpecked, aren’t they? They immediately shrank back in fear after hearing their wife’s words!”
Song Xiao was also amused. He leaned in front of Song Yao. “Sister, I heard from Mom that we can go to the capital the day after tomorrow! Is that true?”
Song Yao smiled. “When have I ever lied to you? Hurry up and prepare. I’ll bring you to the capital to play for a few more days the day after tomorrow.”
Song Xiao replied, “Alright!”
A few days later, the family got into the Porsche and drove all the way to the capital.
Song Xiao and Song Ping were the most excited. At the thought that they would be able to go to the capital soon, they were so happy that they couldn’t sleep for several nights!
Song Xiao said, “I’ve seen the spectacular scenery of the capital in books before. At that time, I wanted to go and take a look!”
Song Ping smiled smugly. “Right? Let me tell you, there are many fun places in the capital. When we get out of the car, Dad will bring you to take a look!”
Song Xiao looked expectant. “Okay, okay!”
In response, Gu Li looked at the two of them speechlessly and said, “Look at what you’re saying. It’S as if you’ve really been to the capital!”
“But… is the capital really as fun as you say?” Gu Li couldn’t help but ask curiously.
She had never traveled far in her life. The furthest she had been was Sangqiu City.
She felt that Sangqiu City was already prosperous enough. Could the capital be even more prosperous than Sangqiu City?
Song Yao smiled. “Mom, you’ll know when you go.”
When she got out of the car at night, Gu Li was completely stunned by the scene in front of her!
“Why are there lights here? Do the lights outside cost electricity?”
“Why are the people in the city living so comfortably? Look, the flowers are planted outside!”
Gu Li was a little dumbfounded. She finally knew why Song Ping and Song Xiao wanted to come to the capital so badly!
“What if we get lost in such a big place?”
Song Ping looked helpless. “I say, you really have not seen much of the world. Don’t you know how to ask for directions when you’re lost? I heard from books that the people in the capital are especially enthusiastic and nice!”
Gu Li smiled. “The people in the capital are really different.”
Song Ping and Gu Li were busy admiring the scenery. Song Yao smiled and said, “Mom, let’s go. My mother-in-law ordered a table of roast duck She’ll probably wait for us for a while.”
When Gu Li heard this, she followed Song Ping and continued walking.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Zuo Jie and Guan Rong were already there.
Gu Li and Song Ping sat down, and Guan Rong called the waiter in to order.
Recalling that the last time they met was at the wedding, Guan Rong smiled and handed the menu to Gu Li. “In-law, order whatever you want.”
Gu Li flipped through the menu and was immediately shocked by the price of the dishes on the menu. However, she was in front of her in-laws after all. Gu Li calmly ordered two home-cooked dishes that were not that expensive and pushed the menu to Guan Rong.
