After her rebirth, she became an unattainable woman.

Chapter 276 Honeymoon Trip (4)

Upon hearing this, Kang Jiansheng said happily, "I didn't expect Dr. Lu to be so knowledgeable and talented, not only in medicine but also in history."

Along the way, Song Qiao heard that Kang Jiansheng and Cao Bingxin were both very eloquent and spoke standard Mandarin, even though they were in their fifties or sixties. Even the young driver couldn't speak as well as them. Song Qiao couldn't help but wonder what kind of work they did when they were young.

"Aunt Cao, you don't look like a local farmer. What kind of work did you and Uncle do back then?"

Cao Bingxin turned around and saw his wife: "Actually, your uncle and I are not locals. Our hometown is in Northeast China. When we were young, we came here for work. Your uncle was a soldier who transferred to the local power supply company, and I was a teacher in this town. We both retired last year."

Song Qiao nodded: "No wonder, you and Uncle have such extraordinary qualities. It turns out you both have noble professions."

Song Qiao showed great respect for soldiers and teachers. Lu Mingxuan looked back and said, "It seems we are really destined to meet. Meeting you, Uncle and Aunt, will save us from taking detours."

“You won’t go astray. Coming here will feel like coming home. You don’t need to stay in a hotel. Come stay at our house. Your uncle and I will also introduce you to the local customs and culture, as well as some pitfalls you might encounter while traveling here.”

Lu Mingxuan and Song Qiao originally wanted to stay at a hotel, but after hearing Cao Bingxin's words, they looked at each other.

"Aunt Cao, wouldn't that be too much trouble?"

"No trouble at all. Just listen to me. You two can stay at our place first. After you've seen all the nearby attractions, you can go to Huizhou. That place is also very nice. Don't stay in hotels there, because hotels are very expensive and far from the attractions. Just stay in guesthouses near the attractions. It's convenient and saves money."

Kang Jiansheng took the opportunity to introduce the new homestays, saying, "The newly built homestays in recent years have greatly facilitated tourists visiting this place. You can rest assured that you are safe wherever you go. The local town government attaches great importance to security."

Song Qiao and Lu Mingxuan exchanged glances: "Then we'll have to trouble Aunt Cao and Uncle Kang."

Four people pulled their suitcases and walked across the ancient bluestone slabs, as if they could hear the sounds of silkworms and looms from thousands of years ago.

"Snap, snap!"

"What's that noise? Is someone still weaving?"

Lu Mingxuan stopped and looked into the box.

"Yes, there is a tradition of hand weaving here. Your uncle and I will accompany you to take a look tomorrow, and we can also buy some handicrafts to take home."

As Cao Bingxin spoke, she stopped at the entrance of an alley: "We're home, Dr. Lu, Miss Song, please."

Lu Mingxuan never expected that saving Kang Jiansheng on the plane would bring him such great benefits. First, they no longer needed to hire a guide, and second, they no longer needed to stay in a hotel. It really did prove the saying: "Giving roses to others leaves fragrance on your own hands."

Because it's a tourist area, every house and courtyard wall here is the same, even the patterns on the tiles are standard. The neat and uniform streets and houses made Song Qiao and Lu Mingxuan instantly fall in love with this place.

"Children, come in quickly."

When Cao Bingxin took the key out of her bag and opened the door, it surprised the two of them.

The courtyard features green bricks and tiles, a pond and pavilions, and a lotus pond in the middle. Even in this season, the Jiangnan region is full of vibrant life with red flowers and green leaves.

Kang Jiansheng opened the door, and Lu Mingxuan, Song Qiao, and Cao Bingxin entered the room.

Once inside, the two discovered that the layout was the same as the apartment building, with a living room, bedroom, dining room, and study. After Kang Jiansheng showed them around, they found that the house was very large and beautiful.

No wonder the elderly couple were willing to stay here after retirement; this is the perfect place to live out their retirement.

"This is the study, Xiao Lu. I've stored a few medical books inside. Come in and take a look later; they'll be very useful to you!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingxuan couldn't contain his excitement: "Uncle Kang, can I go in and take a look now?"

Kang Jiansheng pushed open the door: "Come in, feel at home here, you two don't need to be shy."

After saying this, Kang Jiansheng looked up at the kitchen and called out, "Wife, since the weather is nice, tidy up the guest room and let Xiao Lu and Xiao Song stay here."

Lu Mingxuan looked at Kang Jiansheng: "Isn't this too much trouble for you?"

“It’s no trouble at all. To be honest, it’s been just the two of us old folks in this house for years. It’s so quiet and not lively at all. Every year during the holidays, we look forward to our daughter and son-in-law bringing their nephew over, but they’re too busy with work and rarely come. So the house has gradually become quiet. We don’t like that kind of quiet all year round.”

When Kang Jiansheng raised this question, Song Qiao thought that her own parents were going through the same thing. She suddenly missed her parents and called Tao Meiling after she went outside.

Seeing Cao Bingxin tidying up the guest room, her back view looked just like her mother's.

After the call connected, Song Qiao called out, "Mom!"

"Qiaoqiao, where are you now?"

"Mom, we've arrived at Kangli Village. Let me turn on the video so you can see. I've met a kind and gentle auntie. She's Mr. Huang's mother-in-law."

After saying this, Song Qiao invited a video call, and Tao Meiling on the other end readily accepted and opened the call.

"Mom, this is Aunt Cao!"

Song Qiao pointed the camera at Cao Bingxin and waved to the camera: "Big sister, you are so lucky to have such a filial daughter. She is with me now, so you don't have to worry. I will take good care of the young couple here."

Tao Meiling said gratefully to the camera, "Little sister, when you come to Jiangcheng, you must visit our home. I want to thank you properly."

The two old friends chatted for a while before the phone was returned to Song Qiao's hands.

"Mom, you and Dad need to take care of yourselves. I'll hang up now."

After ending the call with Tao Meiling, Song Qiao helped Cao Bingxin tidy up the house. The elderly couple had been gone for twenty days, and the house wasn't very dirty. The place was surrounded by green hills and dew, and there was no flying sand or gravel, so it looked much cleaner. Even so, Cao Bingxin still tidied up every little detail.

She even brought out new bedding and laid it out in the guest room for Song Qiao and Lu Mingxuan to use.

After tidying up, Song Qiao went to help Cao Bingxin cook, but was stopped by Kang Jiansheng who rushed over: "Leave the cooking to me. You two go to the living room to watch TV, chat, and just wait to eat."

After saying this, he opened the refrigerator and saw that there were no vegetables left. Kang Jiansheng immediately picked up his phone and made a call.

"Hey! Bring me some green vegetables!"

Kang Jiansheng mentioned celery, potatoes, and green beans.

"Also, give me two more lobsters, three pounds of mantis shrimp, and a king crab."

Lu Mingxuan saved his life, so tonight's meal must be sumptuous.
