"How about we go out a little later? I'll go to the guesthouse to pick up Li Qingming and Xia Xiaoli. After the kids wake up, we'll go out to eat and then head straight to the zoo. We can go to the Great Wall another time."

Lu Chen offered his suggestion and looked at Shen Qiaoyue for a question.

"This is the only way." Shen Qiaoyue thought for a moment. There wasn't enough time to go to two places in one day, and Xiaoli was taking care of the baby, who was only three months old. It wasn't suitable for them to go on a long trip. Fortunately, the zoo wasn't far from here, and an hour would be enough for a round trip.

After having a meal, we took a four-stop bus ride to the zoo.

"Okay, I'll go make a call first." Lu Chen said, putting down his sleeves and going into the living room to make the call.

Shen Qiaoyue looked at Da Nian playing in the living room and asked, "Da Nian, are you sleepy?"

"Mom, I want to go with Dad to play with my new little sister." Da Nian knew that his new little sister was Xiao Li's daughter, and his father was going to pick them up, so he wanted to go with them.

Shen Qiaoyue was both amused and exasperated after hearing Da Nian's words.

Taking advantage of this time, Shen Qiaoyue took out the things she had prepared for Lu He and put them in Lu He's room.

After Lu Chen finished his call and hung up, Shen Qiaoyue said, "That room has been prepared for a long time. Go pick them up and bring all their luggage over. Zaozao is really small, it's not suitable for her to stay in a guesthouse. Don't let her stay in a guesthouse."

“Okay, I understand. I’ll tell Li Qingming later,” Lu Chen said.

Last night, I invited Li Qingming and Xia Xiaoli to stay at my house, but they declined, not wanting to cause any trouble.

In fact, Jiang Mingjing knew they were coming and had already prepared this empty room.

"Da Nian, let's go." Lu Chen pulled Da Nian to pick up Xia Xiaoli and her husband.

Shen Qiaoyue watched them walk out, then turned back to check the room prepared for Li Qingming and Xia Xiaoli to see if there was anything that wasn't cleaned properly.

After all, the couple came to attend Lu He's wedding, so they should just make sure they are comfortable.

Shen Qiaoyue looked around and saw that there was nothing to tidy up in the room. She touched the quilt and found it wasn't soft enough, so she went to Lu He's room, opened the closet, and picked out a more comfortable quilt.

The weather in Kyoto gets very cold after nightfall.

One blanket probably won't be enough. We'll need to take care of the child at night, so we'll definitely have to sleep separately.

After taking care of everything, Shen Qiaoyue took out dried fruit and some snacks, brewed tea, and prepared brown sugar water for Xia Xiaoli.

With everything nearly ready, Lu Chen returned with Li Qingming and Xia Xiaoli.

"You're here. Have you had breakfast yet?" Shen Qiaoyue asked the couple with concern.

"Sister-in-law Qiaoyue, we ate breakfast before we came." Li Qingming carried Zaozao in and answered Shen Qiaoyue.

"Uncle, can I hug my new little sister?" Da Nian jogged up to catch up. His uncle had said he would hug her when they got home.

“Da Nian, your sister has a name, Zao Zao, so you should call her Zao Zao, not Xin Meimei (new sister).” Shen Qiaoyue helplessly corrected Da Nian on how he addressed Zao Zao again.

Danian glanced at his mother and said, "Little sister Zaozao, I want a hug."

Seeing how much Da Nian wanted to be hugged, Li Qingming said, "Come here, let me give you a hug."

"Come sit down, Uncle will teach you how to hug me," Li Qingming said, gesturing for Danian to sit down.

An excited Da Nian sat on the sofa, looking at Li Qingming with anticipation.

“Stretch out your hands,” Li Qingming said to Da Nian.

After hearing what Li Qingming said, Danian obediently stretched out his hand, staring at Zaozao with expectant eyes.

Li Qingming placed the child in Da Nian's hands.

When Xia Xiaoli watched Li Qingming hand the child to Danian, she stared intently, afraid that if the child moved, Danian would not hold the child properly and the child would fall.

Li Qingming knew perfectly well that Danian was too old to hold onto Zaozao, but he didn't want to upset Danian, so he just wanted to satisfy Danian.

Da Nian held his little sister Zao Zao, smiling happily, and looked up at his mother, eager to share the moment with her.

"Mommy, I can hold Zaozao now!" Shen Qiaoyue found Danian's happy expression incredibly cute.

“Mom saw it, so you can’t let go, or little Zaozao will fall down,” Shen Qiaoyue replied to Danian with a smile.

"Hehe~ Zaozao is so cute." Danian looked at Zaozao and liked her more and more. "Mom, when I grow up, I want to hug my little sister every day."

"What lofty ambitions!" Shen Qiaoyue said to Danian with a smile.

Lu Chen chuckled and said, "You should ask your Aunt Xiaoli and Uncle Qingming about that."

"Aunt Xiaoli, Uncle Qingming, is it okay?" Da Nian, a child, spoke without restraint and boldly spoke up.

Shen Qiaoyue looked at the couple.

Li Qingming pulled Zaozao back into his arms and said, "This won't do. Men and women shouldn't touch each other."

"Why? Why not kiss her? I'm very close to Zaozao, I can kiss her right now." Danian said anxiously to Li Qingming, and then leaned closer to kiss her.

Seeing this, Shen Qiaoyue quickly grabbed Da Nian.

"Da Nian, what Uncle Qingming means is that boys shouldn't hug girls, just like you should protect your sister and not let other boys hug her. You should protect your sister Zaozao in the same way," Shen Qiaoyue said to Da Nian.

“The children are so young, their idea of ​​carrying is different from that of adults. When they grow up, they may not even remember it,” Xia Xiaoli said, trying to smooth things over. “Our Da Nian, when he grows up a bit and has more strength, he will be able to carry Zao Zao.”

"Yes, yes, I want to grow up quickly so I can carry my little sister Zaozao!" Danian looked at his mother happily with a smug little expression when he saw that Aunt Xiaoli had agreed.
