During dinner in the evening, Zhang Ran told Zhang Sicheng and the others about their outing tomorrow afternoon.
"How about I accompany you? Big changes have taken place in many places now." Zhang Sicheng said with some worry.
He hasn't had much to do lately. The company is basically fishing every day when he goes to work. Besides looking for a new job, he focuses all his attention on decoration.
The decoration company that Meng Mingxuan found was faster than he imagined. Now it has started construction, and there is no need to watch it all the time. Liu Lu and he only go to see it every day when they get off work.
Zhang Ran shook his head and said: "No, you are busy with your business. I still know the roads and everything, and there is a navigation, don't you worry."
Hearing what Zhang Ran said, Zhang Sicheng stopped insisting. He was not surprised at all that his father accepted the navigation so quickly, and Liu Lu was used to it.
Zhang Ran accepted modern electronic equipment much faster than they imagined.
When they went to bed at night, Taotao and Susu took him to tell stories. Zhang Ran kept telling them until they fell asleep before quietly closing the door.
... ... ...
"Don't forget to pick up Taotao and Susu from school in the afternoon." Zhang Ran warned worriedly.
During this period of time, he had been taking his two children to and from school. He was afraid that Zhang Sicheng and Liu Lu would get used to it and forget about it by then.
"Okay, don't worry, I won't forget it." Zhang Sicheng said.
"Be careful on the road and give us a call when you get there." Liu Lu also said with concern.
Zhang Ran nodded, and then sent the two little guys to school. When they parted, the two little guys kissed Zhang Ran on the face, and their reluctance was very obvious.
After sending the two little ones off, Zhang Ran drove directly to Shaanxi Province without any delay.
He Yong's hometown is in Shaanxi Province. This journey takes almost 13.4 hours. In fact, Zhang Ran can make a plane, but for some reason, Zhang Ran now has some psychological shadow on planes and ships, so even if the distance is so It was far away, and he would rather drive there by himself.
... ... ... ... ... ..
At the same time, on the bus from Shanghai to Shaanxi Province, there was also a girl staring blankly out of the window.
He Qing is nineteen years old and is a freshman at Shanghai Jiaotong University. Tomorrow is the day her father is released from prison. Her grandparents asked her to go back and take her father home.
He Qing didn't know how she felt about this father. Almost not long after she was born, her father went in.
When she was young, her grandparents would take her to visit her father, but when she got a little older, perhaps due to self-esteem or other reasons, she rarely visited her father with her grandparents.
Over the years, the most recent time was when she was admitted to college. Her grandparents begged her before she agreed to go.
A large part of the reason why she agreed to go back to pick up her father from prison this time was actually because she didn't want her grandparents to have to run so far at such an old age.
... ... ... ... ..
Zhang Ran just rested for a while at the service area, refueled, ate something, and then continued driving.
It wasn't until twelve o'clock in the evening that Zhang Ran arrived and found a hotel to stay. As soon as he entered the door, he couldn't wait to turn on his mobile phone and start a video call.
"Grandpa." This little guy Taotao doesn't have the usual energy.
"Grandpa." Susu also squinted her big eyes, already very sleepy.
As early as when Zhang Ran was still on the road, Zhang Sicheng sent a message saying that his two children wanted to have a video call with him.
Originally, Zhang Ran wanted to find a service area to video chat with them, but Zhang Sicheng didn't allow it and had to wait until he got there.
No matter how much Zhang Sicheng tried to persuade them, the two little guys refused to go to bed. They would only go to bed after video chatting with their grandpa.
Zhang Ran felt heartbroken when he saw the two little guys looking like this. He whispered a few words to the little guys and started to coax them to sleep.
I don't know if it was because they felt relieved after seeing Zhang Ran, but the two little guys fell asleep quickly.
Zhang Sicheng didn't chat with Zhang Ran for long. It was getting late and he didn't want to disturb Zhang Ran's rest.
At eight o'clock the next morning, Zhang Ran took a shower and drove to the prison.
When Zhang Ran arrived, he found that there were already a few scattered people waiting here.
Zhang Ran didn't know any of them, they were probably family members and friends of other prisoners who were released from prison today.
Zhang Ran knew He Yong's parents.
Zhang Ran didn't go out, he just waited in the car, lit a cigarette, and looked at the door quietly.
Around ten o'clock, Zhang Ran saw the face that, although much older, was still familiar.
At this time, there was only one girl left outside, and the others had already picked up the people they were waiting for.
Just as Zhang Ran was about to get out of the car, he suddenly noticed that He Yong was looking at the girl in a daze, and Zhang Ran immediately stopped what he was doing.
He Yong looked at his daughter and felt uncomfortable all over. He wanted to step forward and hug He Qing, but he was afraid that He Qing would dislike him.
"Xiao Qing." He Yong walked up to He Qing and whispered, his tone full of caution.
He Qing looked at the man in front of her who was still burly despite being fifty years old, and saw the way he spoke to her cautiously. He Qing felt a little distressed for some reason.
He Qing didn't know much about her father, but she had heard her grandparents say many times that He Yong was actually cheated back then.
"Let's go, my grandparents are waiting at home." He Qing pursed her lips and finally said.
"Hey, let's go, let's go." He Yong immediately carried his bag and followed He Qing, but there was still some distance, as if he was afraid that his bad luck would be contaminated by He Qing.
But before they had even taken two steps, they saw the door of the car in front of them opened, and a man stepped out and blocked them in front of them.
He Qing frowned and was about to go around, but she suddenly saw He Yong froze on the spot, and the bag in his hand couldn't help but fall to the ground.
He Qing's heart sank. Could this be his father's enemy back then? Is this looking for trouble
But when she looked into He Yong's eyes, she found that there was no hatred or anger in them, only disbelief and surprise!
"Zhang...Brother Zhang?" He Yong seemed to be unable to believe what he saw.
He Qing then saw the man in front of him open his arms and chuckled: "What? I don't know him anymore?"
He Yong seemed to be convinced when he heard Zhang Ran's voice. He strode forward and hugged Zhang Ran fiercely.
He Qing could see He Yong's excitement and joy!
