「That night.」
Lin Jie sent WeChat messages, inviting his friends to go to Sanya together. Chen Miaomiao immediately agreed. He often went to Sanya, visiting every year during his summer and winter holidays to have some fun, and he really liked the place.
Yang Zheng had been a bit down, but after Meng Liang and the others comforted him for a few days, he came around. He decided he needed to go out and relax. And so, the four of them agreed to go on a trip together.
Zhou Cuilan and Lin Dashan were overjoyed; they would be able to see their little grandchildren! Hearing that they could now use the toilet on their own was just wonderful.
Zhou Cuilan and Lin Dashan started packing their things.
"You pack," Lin Dashan said. "I'll call my second and third brothers and tell them we're not playing cards tomorrow."
After hanging up, Lin Dashan said with a smile, "My second and third brothers seemed interested in going too, but I didn't say anything."
"Exactly," Zhou Cuilan agreed. "We can't bother Lin Feng and his family."
"Quick, help me out. I want to see the little ones as soon as possible."
"You have no idea! During the video call last night, the little girls looked so pretty!"
Lin Dashan smiled. "I saw them. They can even call me Grandpa now."
Their hearts nearly melted whenever they mentioned their grandchildren.
「The next day.」
The group met at the train station and set off by bullet train.
Chen Miaomiao said excitedly, "Let me tell you, I'm very familiar with Sanya. I'll be your guide!"
He had been to Sanya before, but he had never been this happy. Maybe it was because he was with friends!
Chen Miaomiao gestured animatedly. "We can rent a boat and go rowing! We can also hike the trails… There are so, so many things to do. I'll make sure you all have the time of your lives!"
"This time it's Big Brother Lin's treat, but since I'm the oldest brother in our group, I have to cover the expenses!"
This time, Chen Miaomiao had gotten a hefty sum of money from Chen Jianguo. As the self-proclaimed big brother of the group, he had to project the proper image of generosity and style.
Yang Zheng laughed. "Well, in that case, we won't be shy."
"Don't be shy with me!" Chen Miaomiao laughed back.
As the young men chatted, Zhou Cuilan and Lin Dashan, sitting in the front row, couldn't help but smile. Their son's friends all seemed like good kids.
「By noon.」
They reached Cuihu Villa, where Lin Feng had already prepared lunch. The first thing Zhou Cuilan and Lin Dashan did was wash their hands and go see their little grandchildren.
"Oh, my darling treasures, Grandma has missed you so much! Did you miss Grandma? Did you?"
Si Bao giggled in Zhou Cuilan's arms. She held one, then the other, almost overwhelmed with happiness.
"Oh, my sweet Er Bao, you're dressed up like a little princess! You're absolutely beautiful!"
"Heavens, San Bao is so pretty and cute!"
Zhou Cuilan held them lovingly, unwilling to put them down. "Kids really do change every single day."
Lin Dashan teased his little grandsons, who were clearly well taken care of and growing more handsome by the day.
Having not seen Zhou Cuilan and the others for a long time, San Bao was a bit shy and kept calling out, "Daddy…"
Lin Feng came over and took her from Zhou Cuilan, coaxing her with a smile. "What's wrong? Don't you recognize Grandma? She's your grandma!"
Zhou Cuilan tried to coax San Bao from the side. "Look at me again. I'm Grandma."
San Bao turned her face away, refusing to look at her. Zhou Cuilan didn't mind. Children were like that; once San Bao warmed up to her, she would become affectionate.
Just then, she noticed Big White nearby. "Oh, this dog is really beautiful! Did you buy him?"
Lin Feng simply smiled without saying a word.
"Mom, Dad, Xiao Jie, Meng Liang…" Zhang Yuxi called from the other room, letting everyone know it was time to eat.
The babies were already sitting at the dining table, eating from their own bowls. Zhou Cuilan and Lin Dashan watched them with loving eyes.
She asked, "Do the little ones try to grab food when they see the adults eating?"
Speaking of which, Lin Feng pointed at Si Bao. He recounted the story of how, in a single stroke, he had cured Si Bao's habit of wanting to eat adult food.
"From that day on, Si Bao hasn't wanted to eat our food anymore."
Zhou Cuilan smiled. "That's a good method. Kids shouldn't eat the things adults eat. Some parents feel sorry for their children when they see them craving food and give in. What do kids know? They just think it tastes good. But in the end, when they get diarrhea and indigestion, they're the ones who suffer. So, there are some things you just can't compromise on."
After lunch, Lin Feng suggested they set off after the babies fell asleep for their nap. The adults had no objections.
Lin Jie and the others washed the dishes, while Zhou Cuilan and Lin Dashan looked after the children. Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi moved their things to the RV, then went back to double-lock the villa's doors and windows. After checking everything, it was time for the babies' nap.
Once they were asleep, Lin Feng carried them into the RV. Then, they hit the road.
This was nothing like their last trip, which was just for shopping. This was a long-distance journey on the highway, with beautiful scenery along the way. Coupled with the pleasant climate, it was very comfortable.
"Look, the Pearl River…"
Lin Dashan recorded a video and posted it in their group chat with the caption: "We're off."
Lin Jie sat in the passenger seat, enjoying the broad view.
After about two hours of driving, the babies woke up. Zhang Yuxi took them to the bathroom and then put them back on the bed. Fat Fat and Big White lay quietly on the floor beside it.
The babies were playing on the bed, too restless to sit still. Si Bao tried to climb down, but Zhang Yuxi stopped him. "You have to wait for Dad to stop the RV."
Si Bao tended to rush forward when he walked, and in the narrow space, he could easily trip and fall. Zhou Cuilan took a wind-up frog from her pocket. Once wound, it started hopping. Sure enough, Si Bao's attention was immediately captured.
After getting off the highway, they arrived at the southernmost tip of the mainland: Gangcheng. The city was just across the sea from Qiong Zhou Province.
Lin Feng parked the RV on the side of the road to let everyone get out for some fresh air. The babies, especially, must have been feeling cooped up. After a ten-minute break, which included a quick trip to a nearby supermarket where everyone got a small toy, they continued on their journey.
The babies were completely absorbed in their new toys. Zhou Cuilan yawned. "I'm going to take a nap."
「That evening.」
Lin Feng drove to a hotel in Gangcheng, where he booked two queen rooms and one standard room. Then, they all went out for dinner. Since they had been able to rest in the RV, everyone was still in high spirits. Lin Feng had already prepared the babies' dinner before they left at noon, so they would just need some formula before bed.
To ensure Lin Feng could drive without worry, Zhou Cuilan had arranged for herself to share a room with her daughter-in-law and the babies, while Lin Feng would share a room with Lin Dashan. Lin Feng wanted to object but didn't want them to worry, so he agreed.
The babies were used to having Lin Feng with them every day. When night fell and he wasn't there, Er Bao and San Bao missed him terribly. They clamored to find their dad.
Lin Feng entered their room. "Mom, I'll head over to my room after I get the babies to sleep."
Er Bao and San Bao were ecstatic to see Lin Feng. He smiled and soothed them to sleep one by one, dimming the lights and gently patting their backs.
After a discussion with the hotel manager, Fat Fat and Big White had been allowed to stay in the room. Si Bao lay on Big White's back, playing quietly until he drifted off to sleep.
Once all the children were sound asleep, Lin Feng gave Zhang Yuxi a kiss.
"Honey, I'm heading over to sleep now."
"Mhm."
