A large river has wide waves, and the wind blows the rice and flowers on both banks......
A piece of winter wheat that a piece of sorghum, ten miles of lotus ponds, ten miles of fruit......
Young friends came to meet today, swinging the boat, and the warm wind was blowing gently......
galloping in the fireworks-filled Jiangnan water town, letting the warm spring breeze pour into the car window, singing "My Motherland", "On the Field of Hope", and "Young Friends Come to Meet" in the speakers...... These are all songs that "Grandma Chennuo" has loved to listen to since she was young.
"Grandma Chennuo" is named He Xin and grew up in a small city in northeastern Sichuan. When she was young, Sister He's dream was just like the song sang, yearning for the magnificent rivers and mountains and the fields of hope, and yearning for the meeting of new and old friends from all over the world. It's just that few people who have come from Sister He's era can get rid of the shackles of career and family.
So she never imagined that her dreams when she was young would become a reality in a "home from all over the world" approach after retirement.
And it all starts with an RV.
A new way to meet retirement
"Your car is so clean, it's so bright inside and out. ”
"Well, I usually pay more attention to these", Sister He retracted her thoughts and introduced us with a smile on her face: "RV travel, the car is home, and you live in your own home, so you have to clean up a little." She said that when she first retired, she was at a loss for what to do in the face of the abrupt end of her busy work and the slowing down of her life.
"Maybe it's because of my personality, but I'm still a relatively active person. Then one day, it occurred to me that both of us were retired, so why not buy an RV and drive around, and walk around the country freely. Well, when I think about it, I can't sleep right away. This desire for a new life drove her to immediately pull "Grandpa Chennuo" and began to search for a suitable RV all over the world, and soon, they met Ivecoside RV at the RV Show in Chengdu, and a new RV journey began.
Encounter the travel life of the world as home
With the RV by her side, Sister He, who has retired, has not become dull because of the end of her working career, but has once again started a poetic travel life in a new way. "In 2019, I started learning guzheng, and then I drove around the world in an RV and took it around the world. Every time I drive Iveco out, I don't want to go back, find a good parking, water and electricity, convenient shopping, beautiful environment to live in a place, play such a song when the interest comes, and then personally take charge of the spoon, fry three or five plates of Sichuan cuisine, and then with authentic Sichuan hot pot, the small days are delicious, and Ba Shidi is very. ”
Each trip can range from a few months to more than half a year. Sister He said that whenever they embark on a new journey, the RV is like a mobile home, carrying their dreams and expectations. Along the way, the RV trip not only allowed them to appreciate the beautiful natural scenery, but also allowed them to have a deeper understanding of the customs and customs of various parts of the motherland, and to encounter a different way of life. In the remote countryside, they experience the simple rural life, in the streets and alleys of the ancient town, they shuttle between the antique buildings, taste the local food and culture, and in the vast grassland, they stop and stop to look at the herds of cattle and sheep under the blue sky and white clouds, and feel the tranquility and harmony of nature.

Meet like-minded old and new friends
Motorhome trips have made their retirement more fulfilling and rewarding. They drive the RV, and constantly discover new scenery and new humanity during the journey, constantly harvest the beauty, and feel the true meaning of life. "When it's dark, at the RV campground, a group of riders from all over the world light a bonfire under the stars, sit in a circle, share their journeys, and talk to the enthusiastic locals as they tell the history and legends of the area, as if they were part of the land. ”
Sister He said that their Iveco RV has all kinds of living facilities, providing a comfortable living environment for long-distance travel. During the trip, they can stop at any time and enjoy the freedom of cooking, music, reading books, and enjoying themselves. And whenever they meet someone in need, they will not hesitate to lend a hand, using their actions to convey warmth and love: "For example, I see those drivers driving big cars in the parking lot at night, they are very hard, working overtime to pull those goods, you have to hurry up to send them to others, eat very simple, just eat instant noodles or something, when this happens, I will cook some sausages and give them to them." ”
Encounter a life journey full of hope
In the past four or five years, the couple has been to many places in an RV, and this year they plan to take another in-depth trip to Xinjiang. But no matter how far she goes or how long she goes, Sister He has always had the same concern in her heart. Just like the couple's screen name, "Chennuo" is taken from their lovely granddaughter and grandson, and "grandparents" are the most wanted to hear even if they are thousands of miles apart.
What should I do if I miss my granddaughter and grandson? Sister He naturally has a response. Modern communication technology allows her to see the children on video calls at any time, and she keeps in touch with her son and daughter-in-law every now and then, "If they need it, I go to a campsite, park the car, buy a plane ticket and go back, and we fly back to continue after 'completing the mission.'" Sister He said with a smile. This is indeed very in line with her free and resolute character.
On the one hand, she is concerned about her children and offspring, and on the other hand, she is a wonderful RV life, and Sister He has been able to switch her roles very freely, because no matter which side it is, it is a life journey full of hope.
