Upon hearing Lin Qing's question, Gu Nanxun thought for a moment and then answered.

"Then I won't bring it; I probably won't need it."

Lin Qing shook her head, tossed the tent aside, and continued packing her things.

"I can order a simple barbecue grill on Taobao! Let me look for it and see if they have any of the old-fashioned kind!"

Gu Nanxun glanced at the busy Lin Qing and opened Taobao while speaking.

"Yes, I've seen them before. Brother Nanxun, go find one with a simpler structure, and just say we welded it ourselves!"

After hearing Gu Nanxun's words, Lin Qing smiled and reminded him that a barbecue grill is actually very simple to make; as long as you have the tools, you can make one.

Gu Nanxun nodded and quickly found a simple barbecue grill on Taobao. He deliberately chose one that was roughly made and not very refined, and placed an order for it.

Then Gu Nanxun ordered another box of charcoal on Taobao and did some simple processing to make it look less neat.

As for barbecue skewers, only wooden skewers can be used.

"We also need to bring some spare clothes, the kids will definitely be playing in the water tomorrow!"

Lin Qing then prepared some more clothes.

Finally, Lin Qing washed some vegetables and marinated some meat.

"Finally done. I hope tomorrow will be a wonderful day." Lin Qing stretched.

"Definitely." Gu Nanxun embraced Lin Qing.

"Okay, let's go take a shower, I smell bad!"

Lin Qing gave him a gentle push, and Gu Nanxun said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Gu Nanxun sniffed Lin Qing several times, then laughed and said, "Where do you smell? I smell nice."

"Giggle...giggle..."

Lin Qing felt ticklish from Gu Nanxun's teasing, so she reached out and pushed him away, saying, "Alright, let's go take a shower! It's not late."

"Yes, Princess!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Nanxun reached out and picked Lin Qing up, instantly taking her to the bathroom.

...

The next morning, the sun shone brightly, and the air was filled with a fresh scent. Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun got up early and began loading their travel items into the car one by one. The children excitedly ran around, helping to move things, although sometimes their help was more of a hindrance than a help. But their pure joy made Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun feel incredibly warm.

Soon after, Wang Haoran drove Xu Fengjiao and Chen Bin drove Lu Xianghong to the meeting place.

After the assignment was made, Gu Nanxun drove Lin Qing and the four children.

Wang Haoran drove Xu Fengjiao and her child, as well as Zhao Xi and her two children.

Chen Bin drove Lu Xianghong and her child, as well as Lin Yunfeng and his child.

Once everyone was seated in the car, Lin Qing suddenly announced loudly to the children, "Alright, kids, we're ready to go!"

Upon hearing this, the children immediately cheered, and in an instant, a chorus of childlike cheers echoed through the courtyard.

Dong Xiulan and Lin Jianguo exchanged a glance and couldn't help but smile.

"Xiulan, why don't I accompany you back to your parents' home?"

Lin Jianguo looked at his wife beside him and couldn't help but say that because she had to stay home to take care of the children, his wife hadn't been home to visit her parents for a long time.

Dong Xiulan's eyes lit up upon hearing this, "Great! Perfect, I don't have to look after the kids today!"

...

"Let's go, our journey begins." Lin Qing turned to look at Gu Lanxun in the driver's seat and said with a smile.

Gu Nanxun nodded, then reached out and shook Lin Qing's hand, released the handbrake, stepped on the gas, and the car drove off.

Immediately afterward, Wang Haoran stepped on the gas and chased after them, with Chen Bin following closely behind.

Three cars slowly drove out of the residential area. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled patterns on the vehicles. Lin Qing leaned against the passenger window, gazing out and savoring the tranquility and happiness.

The car sped along the road, the scenery on both sides constantly receding, causing pedestrians to stop and look on with envy.

...

Soon, the car arrived at the riverbank where Lin Qing had visited last time.

Tall willow trees grew along the riverbank, providing ample shade.

Lin Qing opened the car window, letting the fresh air and birdsong flood into the car, and the children's laughter blended harmoniously with the nature outside.

Gu Nanxun drove the vehicle steadily, occasionally checking on the children through the rearview mirror to ensure everyone was safe and comfortable.

The car stopped in an open area by the river. Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun quickly got out of the car and moved the ingredients to a shady spot under a tree.

The children, meanwhile, ran eagerly towards the riverbank.

"Be careful, don't go too far! And don't go into the water!" Lin Qing loudly reminded the children, her eyes full of smiles.

Gu Nanxun then began to organize the things they had brought. He laid out the fruits, snacks, and barbecue ingredients that Lin Qing had brought.

"Brother Nanxun, look over there is a shady spot under a tree, we can fish there!"

Lin Qing pointed to the dock not far away and said.

"Hmm! It's a good place. It's flat, there's shade, and it won't be too hot. I'll go ask the children if they're interested."

Gu Nanxun responded.

"I'll go, I'll go... Fourth Brother, I'll go."

After hearing Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing's conversation, Wang Haoran couldn't wait to speak.

The children, excited to hear they could go fishing, gathered around, eager to participate. Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing distributed fishing rods and bait, and then Wang Haoran led a group of children to the shady spot.

Meanwhile, Lu Xianghong and Xu Fengjiao had already started moving the things they brought under the shade of the trees. Lu Xianghong also brought a lot of pastries made by her grandmother, which her grandmother specially made for them yesterday when she heard that they were taking the children out to play today.

Chen Bin also led some of the children to play in the shallow water of the river. Water splashed everywhere, and the children's laughter and screams rose and fell.

"Nanxun, why don't you go over there and look after the kids? We can manage here."

After seeing that everything had been moved, Lin Qing couldn't help but shoo Gu Nanxun to the riverbank.

Gu Nanxun shook his head upon hearing this, then walked towards the car.

They quickly took some deflated tires from the car and walked over to Chen Bin and the others.

"Dad, what are you holding?"

When Gu Ziyao saw her father carrying a bunch of dark things over, she couldn't help but run over to Gu Nanxun and ask him about it.

"You'll find out soon enough."

Gu Nanxun said mysteriously.

Seeing this, the other children all rushed over, and even the fishermen by the river couldn't resist following.
