Chapter 860 Everyone went to the airport to see him off
"To save time, I'll go upstairs and move the luggage down first. This way I won't have to go upstairs to move things after I'm full."
"Uncle Cheng, you have time now to check carefully to see if you have left anything behind. You must not lose your documents or anything like that."
"Okay, I'll check it out carefully when we get up there."
After Cheng Xiangdi went upstairs, Wu You thought about the long flight he would take, so he went to the kitchen to prepare something for him and planned for Cheng Xiangdi to take with him to eat on the way.
"We still have some snacks at home. Let's pack them for Uncle Cheng. I see there are some fruits in the fridge, so wash some for him to eat on the plane. He will definitely need to adjust to the time difference and won't be able to go to bed so early. If he kills time, he will definitely be hungry, so we have to prepare some for him."
"He doesn't need that much. He has one suitcase and he can't carry too many."
"I know. Don't prepare too much. Just give him a little of each. They're not very heavy anyway. It won't affect his flight. Don't worry, Manman."
"That's fine. Do you want to heat up these dishes again? I think they are almost cold."
"Let's not do that. If we put it back in the pan, the color won't look good. I'll just fry a few more dishes. Uncle Cheng is leaving soon and it won't be good for him to eat cold food. He eats the hot food and we can eat these cold ones."
"I think it's okay. Brother Chuan and Brother Qi haven't come back yet. We still have some time. I'll go into the kitchen to help you like before. This way, the two of us can move faster."
"Okay, I'll take out the dishes I'm going to cook first, you help me wash them and I'll cook them later. I'll prepare the snacks and fruits for Uncle Cheng, so we can start now so we don't forget about it later."
When Cheng Xiangdi brought the suitcase down after checking everything upstairs, he happened to see Manman holding a freshly cooked dish in her hands.
"Why are you cooking again? What you just made is more than enough for us. If you make more, it will be wasted if we can't finish it later."
"It won't be wasted. Wu You and I are very hungry now, and we will definitely finish all the food by then."
Cheng Xiangdi knew that the two girls couldn't bear to see him eat cold food so they went to the kitchen to cook fresh food. He was touched by the two girls' thoughtfulness. After knowing that it was their good intentions, Cheng Xiangdi couldn't bear to refuse so he didn't say anything more. At most he could eat more food later so as not to disappoint the two girls.
When Wu You came out of the kitchen after preparing three new dishes, Cheng Yunchuan and Shen Siqi had just arrived home. The timing was just right. When Manman saw them, she immediately served the rice and asked everyone to sit down and eat.
"Everyone, eat quickly. Now is not the time to talk. We will have time later when we drive Uncle Cheng to the airport. We can talk about it then."
What Manman said was true, so everyone started eating hard after hearing her words.
Wu You specially brought the newly cooked dishes to Cheng Xiangdi. Without anyone's reminder, Cheng Yunchuan and Shen Siqi knew that they had to eat more of the cold dishes and not snatch the newly cooked dishes from Cheng Xiangdi.
Seeing that no one was eating the new dishes, Cheng Xiangdi became anxious: "Don't eat the cold dishes. These three dishes are so big that I can't finish them all by myself. If you eat together, you can help me share. Otherwise, if you don't eat them while they're hot, they won't taste good."
"These dishes are enough for us to eat. I like to eat these dishes."
Seeing that they were still unwilling to take the steaming dishes, Cheng Xiangdi had no choice but to share the dishes with each of them using a chopstick. Seeing Cheng Xiangdi like this, everyone felt embarrassed to refuse and had to extend their bowls to take the dishes back.
"That's about right. We've cooked so many dishes, so why not eat less rice and more vegetables? Otherwise it would be a waste."
"Uncle, don't worry. You have to eat more to catch your flight. Don't worry about the dishes. Leave them to us."
It only took the five of them twenty minutes to finish their dinner. In order to ensure that Cheng Xiangdi would not think they were wasting food, Manman and Wu You did not eat any rice at all. They just ate vegetables the whole time. Fortunately, there was no leftovers and they finished all of them.
After everyone finished their meal, the time had come to the starting point. They had to go to the airport in advance to check in their luggage for the 8:30 flight. It would take at least half an hour to get to the airport from here. Time was already very tight, so everyone set off immediately after eating without having time to pack up.
Cheng Xiangdi couldn't bear to see the two little girls running around, so he wanted to persuade them to stay home: "Manman and Wu You, you two should not go, just stay home. Next time uncle comes back to see you, I will bring you two gifts."
"That won't work. Uncle Cheng, we didn't go to the airport to pick you up when you came back. Now that you're going back, we just happened to have the chance to send you to the airport anyway. Don't waste time here. Just let us go. It's only a little over half an hour, which isn't a very long time."
"Okay, everyone, let's get in the car. If we delay any longer, we'll miss the plane."
The suitcase had already been taken to the trunk by Shen Siqi and put away. In order to make Cheng Xiangdi sit more comfortably, they took the initiative to give up the passenger seat. When they went to the airport, Cheng Yunchuan still drove.
Now that we are on the road, we finally have some time to chat. Since we only have so much time left, we naturally seize the time to catch up.
"I think you might not be able to make it to the Hundred Days Banquet, Uncle Cheng. It's also quite troublesome to take a flight for more than ten hours to come back."
"Who said it wasn't? It's not only troublesome but also stressful. It doesn't matter if you don't have time to come back. We can record what happened at the 100-day banquet and send it to Uncle Cheng. Besides, it's just a 100-day banquet, not a birthday. We don't take it that seriously."
"It's really a pity that I can't spend time with you guys. I hope you can think about it and not be angry with me."
"No, think about it, how could such a sensible child care about these things with you, Uncle Cheng? It's just that he can't speak and remember things now. If he grows up a little bit, we won't dare to guarantee this."
"I think he will be older when I come back next time. He should be able to recognize people by then. I have to buy him some good things so that he will remember my kindness. Otherwise, it will be bad if he becomes estranged from me."
"I will tell Mu Bai to mention your uncle more often in front of Xiang Xiang, and I will video call you often."
"Okay, Mu Bai doesn't know that I'm leaving by plane tonight, right?"
"I don't know. I haven't had the chance to tell her yet."
"That's fine. I'll call her and tell her about this in person when I check in at the airport. Otherwise, she will definitely come to the airport to see me off."
"It's only natural for Mu Bai to come to the airport to see you off. After all, you are her uncle."
"I know, but I just can't bear to see her running around. She's not going to come back anyway, so why make such a big deal about it? Let's just treat it normally."
"Well, the next time uncle comes back will probably be during the Chinese New Year. Two or three months is not a long time. When the time comes, I will think about how old they are. Mu Bai doesn't have much to do now anyway. If you really miss them, I will take them to Country D to see you."
