There is constant traffic on Chang'an Street not far away.

At the door of the Beijing Hotel, Chen Aixiu said with a smile on her face: "You are so polite. I should have invited you to treat me to this meal!"

"You must give me a chance to entertain your family next time."

Lin Feng waved her hands quickly: "Don't be too polite. It's just a meal. It should be done."

"Then we will send you not far away..."

"..."

Fang Nian and his family stood at the door, waving goodbye to Chen Aixiu and Li Annan, mother and son.

Watch them go to the Tiananmen East subway station not far away.

When they were approaching the entrance of the subway station, Chen Aixiu suddenly sighed and said, "Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the Fang Nian family's treat to pay the bill in advance."

"Unexpectedly, the waiter said that the bill had been settled long ago and that the bill has been put into storage."

Seeing that Li Annan was silent, Chen Aixiu turned around and looked over: "Why are you silent? You were very outgoing at the dinner table just now, and you were not afraid of being ugly at all!"

Li Annan opened his mouth and whispered: "Mom, don't mind if I say something."

Seeing Chen Aixiu nodding, Li Annan coughed: "If Lao Fang hadn't gone to settle the bill in advance, you might not be able to pay for this meal."

"He must have specifically asked the waiter not to show us the bill."

Chen Aixiu's eyes widened and she waved her hands and said, "How is that possible? It's just a meal!"

Li Annan pursed his lips: "Then if I tell you, the cup that everyone thinks is particularly delicious is the braised shark's fin with vermicelli noodles, which costs about more than a thousand yuan per person, and the agar-agar that you said has too many varieties.

, the price is about the same…”

After a pause, Li Annan said calmly: "You may be able to afford this meal, but you really don't dare."

Every time Li Annan said something, Chen Aixiu's pupils dilated, and finally her eyelids twitched, and she said in shock: "Just such a meal, two or thirty thousand?"

"No big boss in the city would eat like this..."

Li Annan said calmly: "It's hard to say, but don't underestimate the dishes I just mentioned. They are all very time-consuming. Some of them have to be boiled for three days. Lao Fang said we are lucky.

"

"I guess even Auntie doesn't know the secret behind this meal."

After a long time, Scholar Chen Ai said quietly: "How much do you think Fang Nian earned from writing?"

Li Annan replied: "He said hundreds of thousands, I estimate there may be a million or so."

Chen Aixiu took a breath of air, and then said with emotion: "You really have met a good classmate. If he hadn't taken you with you, you would have had no chance at all."

"Fang Nian is one year younger than you, look at me!"

Li Annan looked away and did not dare to say anything.

Sure enough, Chen Aixiu did not miss this educational opportunity, and she kept talking incomprehensible words, such as 'other people's children' and 'look at you'.

Although Li Annan said it casually, from the meal to now, the shock in his heart has never dissipated.

He really didn't expect that in his last year of high school, the two people who influenced him the most were actually the same person.

And this person has been just sitting around in front of him.

…………

In a suite of Beijing Hotel, Lin Fengzheng exclaimed: "Fang Zhengguo, look at classmate Li Annan, tsk~"

"We say we are in charge of the trip, but in fact many things are prepared in advance, so there is no time to rush."

"Tsk~ Right..."

Fang Zhengguo echoed by saying something like, "My son's outstanding face will shine" and so on.

While talking, Lin Feng suddenly looked at Fang Nian: "Fang Nian, tell me, why are you so lazy?"

Fang Nian: "!!!"

"Have you seen all this?"

Lin Feng chuckled and said proudly: "What don't I know?"

"Just tell me how many tickets to the Forbidden City you can buy with this meal tonight."

Fang Nian said calmly: "Not much, not much. Tickets to the Forbidden City cost 60 yuan each, which is valuable."

Fang Zhengguo was on the side to smooth things over: "How much money can you get for a meal? When you were in Shanghai, did you still eat too little for the big meal? Isn't it just a few hundred yuan!"

So Lin Feng tilted her head toward Fang Zhengguo, and Fang Zhengguo shrugged, looking helpless.

Then Lin Feng hugged her arms and looked at Fang Nian: "Is it so difficult to tell the truth?"

"Do you think I don't know about the sky-high price of the hotel I stayed in in Shanghai? This hotel is also five-star. You didn't hide it at all. As soon as the meal was served tonight, you hurried to check out and asked the waiter to hide it.

They didn’t even show us the menu, say!”

Fang Nian coughed dryly and whispered: "It's less than 500."

"How much?!" Lin Feng's voice rose an octave in vain.

At this time, it was Fang Nian's grandmother's turn and she quickly smoothed things over with a smile: "I've eaten everything, Lin Feng, don't talk about Nian Bao."

Lin Feng sighed softly: "Mom, this prodigal son's tricks are getting bigger and bigger every time. It really scares him to have a heart attack!"

"Originally I was just asking casually, but listen, if you eat 30,000 yuan for a meal, this is food gold, charter a plane, stay in a five-star hotel, I won't say anything..."

When Lin Feng was preparing to give a long speech, Fang Nian muttered: "I didn't see you saying you didn't want to eat when I was eating."

"If grandma hadn't come, I wouldn't have bothered to eat such a good meal. It would be nice to have pancakes and fruit."

Lin Feng opened her mouth, and finally said dejectedly: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore."

Fang Nian smiled and said quickly: "Mom, this is only once in a while at most. Don't take it too seriously. The money you make is for spending it. We are lucky this time, otherwise we wouldn't be able to eat. The more we

It will be even less delicious in the future.”

Lin Feng sighed and said nothing more.

If she thought about it seriously, maybe what she couldn't accept was not Fang Nian's extravagance and waste, but her discovery that Fang Nian had suddenly grown up.

Lin Feng did not dare to think carefully about the price Fang Nian paid silently in such growth.

If it wasn't for my own inability, why would I be like this?

This trip took me to three cities. No matter what I saw or did, I always went with the flow.

Lin Feng didn't know how much preparation Fang Nian had made here, but he knew that there was no way he could be so thoughtful.

Because really only by working hard can you look effortless.

If we think more carefully about Fang Nian’s extravagance and waste, it might not be because we consider that it is a rare opportunity for families to travel together.

Especially the elderly, the further they go, the less likely they are to have such opportunities.

After all, he is nearly seventy years old, how many more opportunities can he have to be like this time.

This is also the reason why Fang Nian insisted on coming to the capital without saying hello in advance.

For many Chinese people, the symbolic meaning of the capital is difficult to explain clearly in a few words.

Especially opportunities like visiting the flag-raising ceremony in Tiananmen Square.

Just like in the previous life, when Fang Nian was rich enough, the old man's body could no longer support such a long journey.

I have a rickety back and occasionally have to use crutches when walking. How can I withstand the bumps?

Money can make you go crazy, but you can't turn back time.

Returning to life, these are the beautiful meanings of time.

For example, when Fang Nian was three years old, he liked simulated gun toys, but Lin Feng never bought them. When he was five years old, he finally bought them, but Fang Nian's joy was long gone...

…………

Not long after, Lin Feng took the initiative to change the topic: "Are you going to the Great Wall tomorrow or somewhere else?"

Fang Nian thought for a moment and said: "Although the Badaling Great Wall is famous, you can only see the bare mountains. In fact, there is a beautiful Great Wall in Beijing that few people go to, called Mutianyu."

"It is known as the longest Great Wall. The scenery is very good, but the distance is a bit far. You can take a train there. There are not many tourists there, so the climb is tiring, but you can climb a section to get a feel for it, and then go back to the foot of the mountain and take the cable car up."

After listening to Fang Nian's introduction, everyone agreed.

In the next few days, the group first went to the Mutianyu Great Wall under the leadership of Fang Nian.

Although July is not the best season to visit.

But the Splendid Great Wall, which can be called the ‘Great Wall of China, Mutianyu is unique’, did not disappoint Fang Nian’s family at all.

The climb was indeed very difficult, so after a brief attempt, we returned to the bottom of the mountain and took the cable car to the top.

I took a lot of photos from the top.

I spent a full day at the Great Wall.
