After a while, an off-road vehicle slowly stopped in front of the three of them.

"Oh." Tongtong nodded thoughtfully, "But dad is still very powerful."

"Haha."

Zuo Youran watched the interaction between the two of them with a gentle smile on his face, enjoying the warmth and happiness of this moment.

The car carried a family of three and a car full of laughter along Route 66.

Looking along the way, you can see corn fields, Indian reservations and endless deserts. The vast loess is full of western cowboy style with cacti scattered sporadically.

Lin Qirong's family seems to have fallen into a time tunnel, returning to the era when western cowboys were popular.The tavern selling sparkling water, the motel with flashing neon lights, the ancient and old gas station next to the small town on the road, the legendary anecdotes of the west are staged in front of you one by one.

Taking a long-distance self-driving trip on Route 66, taking Tongtong to see the most famous road in the world and the unique culture of the United States, will definitely be a good journey for her and can broaden her horizons.

Facts have proved that for a child, although it will not be obvious in a short period of time, the more he sees, his horizons will be much broader, and he will grow in all aspects. This is the so-called reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles.

"They don't sing as well as my father." The only thing that dissatisfied Tongtong was the band. She didn't think their singing was as good as her father's.

"You can't say that." Lin Qirong laughed, "American music is famous all over the world, and western country music is one of the most famous. It is very similar to our country's folk songs."

He paused and spread his hands and said, "Of course, dad can sing better."

"Hee hee." Tongtong laughed happily, "Why don't Dad go up and sing a song, let everyone listen to it."

"Of course it's fine."

The pub itself had the option for the audience to go up and sing. Faced with his baby daughter's request, Lin Qirong did not refuse and agreed to wait until the band finished performing a song again before coming to the stage to talk to the band. From the guitarist's hand Li took a guitar and sat in the position of the lead singer.
