C1 Past and Present Life

"Mom, the plane just landed, everything went smoothly for me."

A plane from M Country had just come to a halt. Some of the passengers who had been on the plane for more than ten hours were unbuckling their seat belts.

Some were stretching, some were still sleeping, some had already stood up, ready to go to the luggage rack.

These people completely ignored what the flight attendants were saying on the radio.

Anyway, it was just a few sentences. It was nothing more than where they had arrived at, the flight attendant, etc. The flight attendants all thanked everyone for their ride, the captain, the chief flight attendant, and so on.

Seated in the first class, Shen Qing calmly took out her phone and called her mother to inform her that she was safe.

In order to study, she had gone abroad alone since high school. Every time he came home, he would have to leave within a few days.

He had finally graduated and would never leave this time. How nice it was at home, with my dear parents and my favorite Chinese cuisine.

This time, his parents had even prepared a big lie for him at a resort under his dad's company to celebrate his master's degree graduation and his birthday.

Yes, Shen Qing is twenty-four years old. After her birthday, Shen Qing went to her father's company to be a middle management, preparing to take over her father's business.

"Little Qing, your dad has an important meeting today. He can't come to pick you up, but he told his assistant to go. Have him take you straight to the resort. Father would go directly after he had dispersed for a while. Mom is going to your grandma's house to pick up Grandma, who said you must miss your family meal and want to cook some of your favorite dishes yourself and take them to the resort together. "

It had been a long time since his daughter had come back. Every time she came back, she always craved the food in her house the most.

In order to have a taste of home often, Shen Qing even learned a few good dishes from her grandma. She went back to the country and made some for herself when she was studying.

"I know, Mom. I'm getting ready to get off the plane now. Tell Grandma that I miss her so much!" See you later! "Po ~ ~"

Shen Qing's heart was filled with warmth as she listened to her mother's nagging and thought of her grandmother's affectionate smile.

Before hanging up, she kissed her mother on the phone, as usual.

Unbeknownst to her, this was the last time she would speak to her mother, the last time she would kiss her mother.

Shen Qing waited on the conveyor belt and retrieved her luggage one by one.

This time, he brought a lot of luggage, some for his own use, and most of all, gifts for his parents.

He took his luggage and left the customs house.

Walking out of the airport, he immediately saw the red Land Rover. It was tall, with a wide nose and a domineering aura. It was hard not to notice it parked by the side of the road.

Tension was standing outside the door, smiling and waving to himself.

He was still the same as he remembered, a round baby face, his young face beaming with a clean smile.

Perhaps it was because of his smile, but his father let him be promoted to the position of the department manager's former assistant. It made people feel very warm, very natural, and without any worldly hypocrisy or scheming.

Tension helped load the car. Shen Qing got into the cockpit and fastened her seat belt. She looked at her beloved car and held onto the steering wheel, feeling as if her heart was about to leap out of her chest.

Looking at the surrounding skyscrapers, the plane flew for over ten hours, from one environment to another. It was a completely different environment.

This was like a metropolis, with tall buildings, a large number of cars, and unlike the place where he was studying, it was simply a large rural area. After driving for a few hours, he hadn't seen a single tall building, but instead, there were fields everywhere.

Well, the land is sparsely populated. Driving on the highway would never allow him to see more than ten cars. When there were many cars, there were usually only three or four. Sometimes, there was only one car.

When Tension had finished packing, he went to the left side of the car and prepared to get in. He found Shen Qing sitting in the driver's seat.

Shen Qing pressed the button on the door and the glass automatically fell. She looked at him with doubt and said, "Get in the car quickly."

"Miss Shen, the boss said that driving here is different from driving there. Plus, you're tired too, so it's better if I drive here."

Before they left, the boss specifically told Shen Qing not to drive. The first was that the road conditions were different between the two places, and the second was that Shen Qing would be very tired after riding on a plane for more than ten hours.

"It's okay, I'm not tired. Look at the sky, it's getting dark, and there aren't many cars on the road. I'll drive slowly, and you just watch from the side. It's fine. "

Shen Qing said, gesturing for Tension to get into the car.

Reluctantly, he walked around to the front passenger seat, opened the door, and sat inside.

"Then drive slowly. The boss said that you have fewer cars and fewer pedestrians. "Unlike here, there are more cars."

"Alright, I got it. Point me the way. My mom said to go straight to the resort. I don't know the route." As Shen Qing spoke, she turned the key under the steering wheel, started the car, and made a sharp turn, turning onto a large road.

"I say, Miss Shen, slow down. We haven't even reached the highway yet. Don't drive so fast!" Sitting beside Shen Qing with the tension, he felt that it wasn't wise to let Shen Qing drive.

"Why are you so long-winded, sit down steadily!" Shen Qing ignored the tension. Holding the steering wheel, she started the engine, stepped on the throttle, and shot out like a gust of wind.

This road didn't last long. A signboard indicating the entrance to the highway was placed in front of them. "Miss Shen, please get on the highway from here." He pointed to the road diligently.

"Yes." Shen Qing replied, indicating that she knew.

"This highway will continue to run at high speeds. After passing the Du Family's Toll Collection Station, take the second intersection and turn right onto the mountain road." The tension explained the route.

"Remember. Rest in peace first. I'll call for you when you get to the tollbooth."

Shen Qing opened all the windows and also the skylight. The summer evening was no longer as hot as the day, and the chilly wind blew in through all the windows of the car, blowing against her ears and causing Shen Qing's long hair to fly in the wind.

High speed entrance fee line.

Luckily, there weren't many cars. As soon as they passed the stop, the car sped off.

It was already dark, and there were still cars coming and going on the highway. The roadside lights illuminated the neat, wide highway as if it were day.

It was still better in the country. In the city where he went to school, almost all the high-speed traffic lights were off. They had to turn on the lights at night, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to see anything.

However, the line of isolation on the road was equipped with reflective lights, and there were reflective lights at the bend to indicate the condition of the road.

Shen Qing let her imagination run wild all the way. In front of her, there was a tollbooth with the words "Du Family Toll Station" written on it.

That's where it came from.
