Chapter 590
Coming out of the gate of the high-speed rail station, Zhang Lan let out a long breath.There were a bit too many people here, but luckily I didn’t bring much luggage with me, otherwise it would have been difficult to get out of the station with the two children.

There were too many people at the exit of the station. Zhang Lan hugged one and took a child and walked a few steps outside to find a taxi and get in first.If there is no traffic jam, I will go back late at most.

The high-speed train from Kyoto to Hong Kong takes more than three hours, and the trip from Hong Kong to Zhang Lan's home normally takes just over an hour. However, Zhang Lan took a taxi just to get out of the city and there was no traffic jam. In the past, it only took 10 minutes at most. The journey took more than an hour this time.This is because the high-speed rail station has not been built in the city center.

After looking at the time, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon. Zhang Lan, who originally planned to go home directly, thought about it and found a place to eat. He was fine. It was not like that for two children to eat snacks all the time.

After taking out his mobile phone and looking at the nearby map, Zhang Lan told the driver the address of the nearest hotel, and he planned to go there to have something to eat first.

By the way, I called my mother back and told her to have something to eat before going home later. Zhang Lan told her that she had called her several times after returning home today. She originally expected to be home by now, but she really didn’t. I thought the traffic jam was too severe.

I didn’t pay much attention to the hotel I found temporarily.When ordering, Zhang Lan chose two hot dishes with green vegetables and ordered rice. No matter what kind of meat was used in the restaurant on the roadside, the vegetables were definitely fresh.

Although Zhang Lan had tried to avoid it, most of the two dishes ended up in Zhang Lan's stomach. The two children stopped eating after a few mouthfuls and a bottle of milk.

After coming out of the restaurant, the two children and Zhang Lan complained that the food they had just fried was too oily and the rice was a bit hard. It wasn't that they didn't want to eat it, but they just couldn't eat it.

Zhang Lan smiled and said nothing. It would be nice to stay at home for a few more days after returning home this time.

This time, I didn’t stop for another taxi. We were almost out of the city. There weren’t many taxis running, and it was approaching the holidays. The taxi charges were much more expensive than online taxis. Zhang Lan took out her mobile phone and called an online taxi. go home.

On the way, Zhang Lan casually chatted with the driver about taxi price increases during holidays. Unexpectedly, the other party said that this was not unusual at all.There were restrictions at the beginning, but since the rise of online ride-hailing, the original control of not increasing taxi prices during holidays has become a dead letter.

And now taxi drivers will report some online ride-hailing drivers from time to time. Some online ride-hailing drivers who have not obtained the operating license qualification will be fined tens of thousands of yuan once they are reported and caught.

In the words of online ride-hailing drivers, it seems that taxi drivers now shout that this one does not make money and that one does not make money, but in fact, since there are fewer taxi drivers now, many drivers have started to start the Shuangcheng passenger transport business, and now most of them Some certified taxi drivers make more money than those driving online ride-hailing services.

Zhang Lan smiled and said nothing. Regarding this kind of industry insider knowledge, he had not taken a taxi for a long time, and he only took a taxi once in a while. Regarding the price increase or not, and who made money and who did not, he regarded it as Gossip listened.

After returning home by car, Zhang Lan's father and mother had been waiting at the door early. When they saw Zhang Lan getting off the car without even saying hello, the two old people had already opened the car door, one on the left and the other on the right, to hug their sweet grandson. .

Zhang Lan took out her mobile phone to pay, picked up her bag from the car and said goodbye to the driver. When she turned around, Zhang Lan's father and mother were already walking into the house with their two children.

After Zhang Lan entered the door with his things, Zhang Lan's mother was serving food from the kitchen and said, "You must have been starving on the way. Let's eat first. The two children just said that they didn't even eat a few bites on the way back."

Zhang Lan put down the bag and said: "Didn't I call before and said that I didn't need to cook for us? Why do you cook so much?"

Looking at the dishes and a soup on the coffee table, Zhang Lan scratched his head. These were all freshly fried.

"When I called just now, my two children answered the phone and said that the restaurant's cooking was not delicious and they didn't eat a few bites. I quickly cooked a few more dishes." Zhang Lan's mother explained. "You are too spoiled to them. They didn't stop talking all the way. How could they eat so much."

"There's so much here. If you can't finish it, just eat it in the evening and you won't throw it away." Zhang Lan's mother said casually.

All the food ordered in the restaurant went into Zhang Lan's stomach. Zhang Lan was not very hungry at this moment, but his father and mother were sitting at the coffee table to eat with their two children, and Zhang Lan also sat down.

Zhang Lan's father asked Qin Yongjun and Zhang Lan when their youngest son would come back. Zhang Lan told him that it would be October [-]nd.

After taking two bites of vegetables, Zhang Lan asked: "Why did I see corn drying in the yard when I came in just now? Have you started farming again? I didn't say that I just asked you to contract it out. Why bother with this?"

Zhang Lan's father said: "What's so hard about this? We only plant one season a year, leaving more than an acre of land next to the roadside. From planting to harvesting, everything is mechanized. You don't have to worry about anything. Just drive a tricycle when the time comes." Just go pull corn from the roadside.”

"Yes, grandpa planted a large field of sweet potatoes on the wasteland next to the winery this year. I will prepare handmade vermicelli when the time comes. It will be much better than what you buy in the supermarket." Zhang Lan's mother also said.

Zhang Lan sighed and said, "Is that what I'm talking about? Besides, our family is not short of money. My grandpa is still farming at such an old age. What can he do like growing sweet potatoes?"

"They are all old farmers. They don't cultivate anything. They work well, but resting all the time makes them sick." Zhang Lan's mother waved her hand and said.

Zhang Lan asked casually: "It's August [-]th soon, won't my grandpa go back to my uncle's house?"

"Go back. Your grandpa asked your father to send him back just after August. He said he would go home to live for a while and come back in a few days." Zhang Lan's mother replied.

Zhang Lan thought for a moment and said, "Isn't my grandpa going back to compete for gifts from my uncle?"

Zhang Lan's father said next to him: "What do you think? When I sent him back, the old man was still counting the number of guests in the car with his fingers. He is staying at his daughter's house. There is something the old man still misses about his son. .”

Zhang Lan twitched the corner of his mouth and said nothing. Zhang Lan's mother scolded him: "Don't talk about these things in front of your children. Our family doesn't lack those things."

Zhang Lan smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll go to the city to visit my uncle's house tomorrow and then pick up some things for my grandpa."

"What are you going to do with your things? If I go, you don't have to go. What are you spending the money on?" Zhang Lan's mother waved her hand and then said.

"Just go and do your own business. Your grandpa doesn't need to take anything. He can just turn around and look around. He is getting older and is confused now. When you go to take things, he should say that your aunt's children are not good. Get him something, don't bother him."

Zhang Lan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be at home for a long time this time, so we'll talk about it then."
