The commercial vehicle is driving on the airport expressway under the rising sun.

Sixteen days after traveling away from home, Fang Nian and his family set out to return home.

After boarding the plane with priority, the flight attendant half-crouched beside Fang Nian’s seat and said softly: "Welcome Mr. Fang to choose China Southern Airlines again."

"The estimated flight time is approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes."

"..."

This is the fourth time that Fang has chosen China Southern Airlines’ first-class private cabin service. The flights are different, but the services are similar.

After the basic process, the flight attendant did not leave, but said: "Mr. Fang, we sincerely invite you to become a China Southern Sky Pearl Platinum Card member."

Fang Nian muttered in his heart: "Another invitation."

But he asked with a smile: "I'm sorry, if it's convenient, can you tell me the reason for the invitation? In my memory, I have only heard of gold cards."

The flight attendant explained softly: "Mr. Fang, this is the fourth time you have chosen private cabin service. To thank you for your recognition of our China Southern Airlines service, we are eager to invite you to become a platinum card member of China Southern Airlines Sky Pearl Club."

“Our Platinum Card members are invitation-only and cannot accumulate miles for upgrades.”

Fang Nian: "Okay, thank you."

He was also invited in his previous life, and just like now, he only chooses to travel first class, which he will be able to do if he flies more often.

It's just that maybe because it's 2009, first class is more valuable.

Even if calculated based on the mileage of the seat, the flight is not enough to cover 80,000 kilometers. However, the first-class mileage is calculated as 300% and the flight segment x 2, which is almost enough to upgrade to a gold card.

Fang Nian himself has no intention of joining the frequent flyer program.

But an invitation is fine.

Although even the discounts of the Platinum Card are not available to Fang Nian, given the current economic situation, he will not choose economy class when traveling.

And unlike his previous life, he has never flown in economy class in this life...

"Brother, what is the Platinum Card?" Fang Xin asked in a low voice after the flight attendant left.

Fang Nian touched Fang Xin's head: "You will know when you grow up."

Lin Feng was also curious: "Is it because you always have a private cabin, so they think you are an important guest?"

Fang Nian thought for a while and said: "Maybe it's because they are the same airline. I'm a little confused. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. The price of four private flights is not expensive."

"Maybe your "not expensive" meaning is not the same as what we understand as "not expensive." Lin Feng said calmly.

Fang Nian quickly said: "Ah, there's no such thing."

In order to give his family, especially his grandma, the most comfortable experience on this trip, Fang Nian spent a lot of money.

The total price of the four private cabins is 108,000 yuan, which is slightly cheaper than expected this year, with a slight discount.

The total accommodation cost for 16 nights in Pengcheng, Shanghai, and Beijing is 97,000 yuan, excluding other expenses. Among them, the time in Pengcheng is the shortest and the cheapest.

The shopping consumption in Pengcheng is 135,000 yuan, while there is basically no shopping consumption in other cities, and the scattered items may not even cost 1,000 yuan.

The ticket price for attractions is about 8,000 yuan. I have been to a lot of attractions, and each one costs tens or hundreds of yuan at least, which is not outrageous.

The rest of the scattered consumption is about 3,000 yuan.

The food and beverage consumption is about 50,000 yuan.

The total consumption was about 402,000 yuan. Including the newly bought mobile phone and miscellaneous items, the total cost was more than 420,000 yuan.

All the expenses on this trip were paid out of Fang Nian's own pocket.

I didn’t really ask Lin Feng to take out the card.

Even in 2021, if you spend an average of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a day to travel, the experience will be very good.

Therefore, the whole family enjoyed this trip.

In the concept of Fang Nian, money can be earned again if it is gone, but it is difficult to have time if it is missed.

Fortunately, Fang Zhengguo, Lin Feng and the others didn't know how much they had consumed. Otherwise, they would really have to poke Fang Nian and call him a prodigal.

Including the afternoon of July 3, the turnover of the "I Want to Be Rich" web game was finally credited to more than 1.31 million.

In addition to the original 1.11 million on the bank card, the current balance on the card is exactly 2 million, which is 2 cents and 2 cents more.

Even so, it was still more than the balance on the card in Lin Feng's hand, even though a new January manuscript fee was issued on the 10th, which was a little over 160,000.

Now there are more than 1.09 million points on that card...

…………

The greatest significance of this trip to Fang Nian is that in just the right time, the family can enjoy the material enjoyment and mental relaxation brought by a good economic foundation.

This is especially true for my grandmother.

Perhaps this will also be the most comprehensive trip in this old man's life.

The places I’ve been to, the time I’ve spent, the scenery I’ve seen, the things I’ve experienced.

Because as time goes by, no matter how much money you spend, it is difficult to exchange for the same experience. Even if you are free from illness and disaster, the aging of your body will make many things become out of reach from within your reach.

"..."

For Fang Xin, this trip allowed her to experience a perfect childhood.

For Fang Zhengguo and Lin Feng, it is about enjoying life in middle age.

Inside every bit of it, there is all Fang Nian’s yearning.

…………

After the plane took off level, Fang Nian temporarily unbuckled his seat belt and adjusted the seat back to a more comfortable sitting position.

Listening to Lin Feng, Fang Zhengguo, the old man, and Fang Xin whispering to each other.

As he spoke, Lin Feng changed the subject: "Fang Xin, you have experienced a lot of firsts during this trip. You have to write a diary after you return home."

Fang Xin nodded pretendingly: "Okay, I know, I know."

Then he chirped: "I went to see the sea for the first time, swam in the sea for the first time, and went to the tallest building in the world for the first time..."

"And more, first time going to Fudan University, first time going to Oriental Pearl Tower, first time taking a boat, first time taking a plane..."

"The first time I went to the zoo, the first time I went to an amusement park, the first time I climbed the Great Wall..."

"Wow, so many firsts!"

Speaking of the last part, Fang Xin exclaimed in a low voice and stretched out his palm: "I haven't even finished counting on ten fingers."

"Brother, brother~ Lend me your hand!"

Fang Nian pinched Fang Xin's little face: "You are about to enter the third grade, and you still can't count. What will happen in the future!"

Mathematics content in the second grade is still limited to addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within 100; the reading and writing of numbers within ten thousand are not learned until the third grade.

Addition of more than three numbers is still a bit difficult for Fang Xin, so he has to count by hand.

Fang Xin said seriously: "Why can't I count? I have used up all ten fingers now!"

Fang Nian smiled: "Okay, I'll lend it to you."

Then he asked seriously: "Can you write the words you just said? Can you pronounce them in Mandarin?"

Fang Xin was dumbfounded.

She could only barely speak some words in Mandarin.

For example, the night I met Lu Weiyu, the pronunciation was not very standard, but fortunately I could guess the meaning based on the context.

As for what Fang Xin just said, it was all in dialect. If you put it into words, you would be completely blind.

Lin Feng, Fang Zhengguo and the old man couldn't help laughing.

Accompanied by the gentle sound of children, the plane crossed half of China and slowly landed at Huanghua Airport.

Although it was not a formal meal and no meals were provided on this flight, the Fang Nian family who flew in first class still had a good meal.

There are spicy meals that suit Xiangchu tastes, as well as fruit meals.

…………

"After being away for more than half a month, I finally returned to the provincial capital."

Lin Feng sighed after dragging her suitcase out of the airport.

"How do you go back later?"

Fang Nian smiled and said, "You'll know when you step out."

After walking out of the airport, everyone soon saw the familiar van with a Hunan K license plate, and Fang Zhengguo let out a light sigh.

When the driver got out of the car, Fang Zhengguo became familiar with it.

"..."

For lazy people, that's it.

Don't like to be in a hurry when the time comes.
To be continued...
