Chapter 462: It's not that the roast duck isn't delicious, but the tiger is more worth watching
On the way back, the sister-in-law duo didn't discuss what had just happened, but chatted about the summer vacation and taking the children out to play.
"It's been so many years since I went home; I want to take Grandpa and the others home to visit the second uncle's family."
"And Yaoyao gave birth to two daughters, and has been nagging me to take Lian Lian and the others back..."
Pei Yan Ting had saved up her vacations all these years, enough for her to go out and play for a while.
Her husband's vacations were also saved up, and he could coordinate with her to take leave at any time; the two of them would take the elders and children back to the Capital.
On one hand, to visit relatives, and on the other hand, to take the children to see the place where they grew up.
"That's fine, sister-in-law; you haven't traveled out for a long time. Just take this opportunity to travel well for a period of time. Ah Ye and I also have thoughts of taking the children out to play, but our destination is..."
Shen Man and the others had already taken the children to the Capital once, so they weren't planning to go there this time.
This time they wanted to go to the Northeast; on one hand, Ah Ye had official business, and on the other hand, the children wanted to go, and Tangyuan also wanted to go, saying it wanted to go out to find treasures.
These treasures, Shen Man didn't think there were too many; the more the better.
In these two years, many people had started wearing gold and silver; if it weren't for her age not reaching the point of liking gold, she might have worn it too.
In short, she hadn't been to the Northeast either, so the whole family would go together neatly.
I heard that the portions of dishes in the Northeast are very sufficient, with a unique bean paste culture and a scrubbing culture.
There are also Siberian tigers there; don't know if Tangyuan will meet a tiger it falls in love with at first sight?
"Then you must be prepared in advance; the weather in the Northeast is getting hot now, don't bring too many clothes, bring more food, afraid you will be unaccustomed to the water and soil."
Pei Yan Ting supported her sister's trip to the Northeast very much after hearing this.
Now the department is filled with parachuted leaders, making it smoky and chaotic; staying here and staring at each other every day, it's inevitable there will be friction. 【462-
She didn't like fighting with people; what was the point of internal strife?
With that time, it was better to perform one or two more surgeries to alleviate the patients' pain; that was much more satisfying.
As for seniority or whatever, whoever had the most skill should be the boss.
What made her currently unhappy with Zhou Hongyu was that the other party was entangled with a married man, and judging by her tone, she was also entangled with someone else.
How could a perfectly good female comrade have her character change so much after graduating from university a few years later?
Forget it, forget it; since they didn't want to stay and fight, it was better to be sensible and go traveling instead.
When they returned, if the other party still insisted on being the department head, then she would just let that title go.
She didn't care; in any case, it was all about saving lives and healing the wounded, and they were all doctors.
After returning home, the courtyard was in complete chaos.
As the children grew older, they had long since lost interest in the little games of piling up sand and playing with mud in the courtyard.
Now they were at a mischievous age, and since their grandfather and the others couldn't bear to hit them, the mothers had to be the ones to play the bad cop.
"All of you, stop! Summer vacation just started and you're already like this; if you stop studying in the future, are you going to fly up to the sky?"
"If you run around everywhere again, I'm going out to play and won't take you!"
"No, Mom, we know we were wrong, we'll never run around again."
"Mom, Mom, take us out to play! Where are we going to play together?"
"Mom, I know I was wrong, please forgive us."
"Mom~"
The children pulled out all the stops, determined to make their mother change her mind.
They used every trick of acting cute and coquettish; the only thing left was to roll on the ground.
Hah, Mom and Auntie both hated children who rolled on the ground, so they could only hug their legs and act spoiled, begging for mercy.
And believe it or not, this accidental approach actually made Mom and Auntie lose their anger.
"Meow."
The old cat, which usually acted lazy in front of the children, now saw its owner and trotted over with spirit, throwing itself into her arms.
Owner, the little owners are so naughty, I can't take it anymore.
That's just how it was; it was an old cat that liked to tattle behind people's backs.
"You've worked hard, Tangyuan. I'll give you extra food in a bit."
Shen Man weighed Tangyuan; although Tangyuan was trying very hard to make a pitiful expression, she inexplicably wanted to laugh—what could she do?
How could a cat have a poor appetite and yet eat itself into a big, fat ball?
Tangyuan, don't you think that's a bit ridiculous?
Besides, Tangyuan was a sub-space spirit; it was immortal and ageless, so how could it grow old?
In summary, Tangyuan was probably just too lazy to move and was pretending to be an old cat to elicit the children's pity.
But the children weren't stupid either; they were as sharp as monkeys, every single one of them.
"Mom, Tangyuan has been so lazy lately, always asking to be held and not exercising at all."
"Auntie, I can barely hold Tangyuan anymore; Tangyuan is so heavy."
"Mom, do you think Tangyuan is sick? Why does it never move?"
"Maybe old cats are just like that when they get on in years; just don't bully it."
What else could Shen Man say? She could only defend this cunning cat in front of the children.
Fortunately, the children's attention was quickly diverted, and they started asking other questions with excitement.
"Mom, you said you'd take us out to play once summer vacation started; we're on break now, where are we going?"
"Mom, I want to see a big tiger! The animal channel on TV showed a big tiger, it was so majestic!"
"Mom, I want to go out and play too; where should we go?"
"Mom, I'll finish my homework as fast as I can."
The children all wanted to go on a long trip and didn't want to stay at home for the summer.
Shen Man and her sister-in-law exchanged a glance, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes; the older the children got, the harder they were to fool!
"We are definitely going out to play, but we're going to different places than your auntie."
"Mom, where are we going to play?"
"We're going to the Capital, to your mom and dad's old home, to visit the two little sisters at Auntie Yao Yao's house."
"Yay, yay! We're going to the Capital! The roast duck in the Capital is delicious, I want to eat it again."
"Anything is fine; as long as we can go out to play, anywhere is fine."
Lian Lian and her younger brother Shuai Shuai both expressed their stance; upon learning their destination was the Capital, they already had expectations for the upcoming trip.
Xiao Mantou and Xiao Nuomi both looked at their mother with eager eyes, wanting to know where they were going for the summer.
"As for us, we're going to the Great Northeast to see the Northeast tigers, and then go mushroom picking, how about that?"
Shen Man couldn't bear to see the two children disappointed, so she told them her plans as well.
"Northeast big tigers! Yay, yay! We're going to see the big tigers!"
It wasn't that the roast duck wasn't delicious, but the tigers were more worth seeing!
Xiao Mantou didn't echo his sister's words, but he was also looking forward to the Northeast trip.
Old Master Lu watched the children's interaction with a smile; his old bones didn't want to move, so after the children left, he would treat it as a vacation for himself—properly going to the seaside with his old friends to fish and play chess was the real business...
