Chapter 198
When Yoyo was eight months old, Jiang Zhinian had her winter vacation. Her original plan was to help Shi Ye share some of the burden of raising the baby so that Shi Ye would have more time to focus on his doctoral studies.
As a result, she found herself unable to help at all on the first day. When she woke up in the morning, Shi Ye had already fed the baby the first meal and used white noise to coax her to sleep.
After Yoyo woke up, Shi Ye threw her into the baby fence which was full of her favorite toys. She didn't cry, but crawled around in it and had a lot of fun. Shi Ye sat on the dining table near the fence with a computer, organizing data.
He used the Pomodoro clock to set the baby's water drinking time, fruit time, complementary food time, diaper changing time, etc. It was set so tightly and accurately that Jiang Zhinian had no say and could only sit next to the baby fence and watch Yoyo play.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, when the sun was at its best, Shi Ye pulled Jiang Zhinian to put on his clothes, and the two of them went out for a walk. He did not take the baby for a random walk, but planned a route with fresh air, less traffic, and a road that was easy to walk on and less bumpy. He also bought some food for lunch.
After going out, Jiang Zhinian watched Shi Ye pushing the stroller with one hand, going out in a very stylish and cool manner, and suddenly understood the feelings of the other aunties in the community who hated not being able to get this son-in-law.
The two of them walked slowly along the sunny path, and Shi Ye suddenly asked her if she wanted to go to Bali for vacation together during the Chinese New Year this year.
The two of them stayed at home in Yongning during the New Year, and since they didn't have many relatives to visit, they might as well go out and celebrate the New Year.
Jiang Zhinian was very happy when she heard that. She liked the sun, the beach and the seaside, but...would going to Bali be very expensive?
She has never been abroad, so she needs to apply for a passport. Oh, by the way, Bali is a visa-free country, so she doesn't need a visa.
"Bali is not expensive, we can still afford it. Let's go and take Yoyo to see the sea."
Jiang Zhinian calculated the treasury of their small family and felt that going abroad for vacation once a year was not a luxury. Moreover, after a year of hard work, it was only right to relax once.
"Okay, then I'll go back and make a strategy..."
"No, I'll do it."
…
The weather was very good on the day of departure. Since it was the first time to take Youyou out, Jiang Zhinian made a lot of preparations.
She heard that flying can cause ear pain, and she was worried that Yoyo's crying would disturb others. So, she followed the online guide, bought earplugs and a small apology gift, made a small gift bag and put it in her bag, intending to give it to the passengers around her when Yoyo made a noise to express her apology.
Only after getting on the plane did Jiang Zhinian feel a little more like she was on vacation. This was the first time she had ever been on a plane in her life, and she didn't expect it to be an international flight. The delayed tension finally surfaced.
Shi Ye held her hand and told her not to be nervous.
Because they called the airline in advance to report, they got a special crib for babies to accommodate Youyou. Shi Ye also took out some of Youyou's favorite toys that he had prepared in advance and put them on Youyou's phone to attract her attention.
The plane took off. Jiang Zhinian turned her head to look at the clouds outside the window, and a feeling of "my life is getting better and better" emerged in her heart. She turned around and saw Shi Ye feeding Youyou water, and the feeling of being blown by the wind in her heart became more and more obvious.
She went from being an orphan to gradually having a family, a husband and children, and they became the most important bond in each other's lives.
It turns out that this is the meaning of marriage, becoming a family, like three buttons strung on a rope, accompanying each other from now on.
…
Bali's climate is hot and humid, with sunshine and beaches, everything makes people want to relax. Jiang Zhinian changed into a beautiful beach sundress, and encouraged Shi Ye to change into the beach vacation pants she bought. She took Youyou, who was wearing a small dress with the same pattern, out to Jimbaran Beach to watch the sunset.
At dusk on the beach, they found a nice-looking seafood barbecue stall and sat down. They walked barefoot on the sand, felt the nearby sea breeze, and watched the sun slowly sink into the sea, leaving behind a golden afterglow.
"Shi Ye, how about we go on a trip together every year from now on? We don't have to go abroad, staying in China is also great."
Shi Ye fed Youyou some muddled food with vegetable puree: "Where do you want to go?"
"Go... skiing in Changbai Mountain, go to Mohe to see the northern lights, go to Dali to see the romantic scenery, go to Chongqing to see the magical mountain city, go to Dunhuang to visit the desert and grassland..."
Yoyo sat obediently in Shi Ye's arms, pursing her lips in confusion. She heard her mother say so many words in one breath. Although she didn't understand, she still cooperated and clapped her hands, as if to say "I agree, it's settled."
Seeing her so happy, Shi Ye also smiled: "Then you can make a schedule for me and I will arrange it."
Jiang Zhinian laughed: "Really? Do you have time?"
When Youyou turns one year old and goes to daycare, Shiye will have to go back to study for his doctorate. By then, the hospital will be busy and he will not have time.
"If you arrange it in advance, there will always be time."
Jiang Zhinian didn't care whether he could do well in the future, and he also became happy: "Shi Ye, let's go to the beach and play in the water, and let Youyou play in the sea water too."
The beaches and waters of Jimbaran are not top-notch, but that evening when Jiang Zhinian was bathed in golden light is a very unforgettable memory.
…
When Jiang Zhinian was taken away by Yuan Miaomiao, he was still confused. Shi Ye was gone, and Youyou was gone too.
"Miao Miao, why are you here? Where are we going?"
"I flew to Bali specifically to kidnap you and have Shi Ye pay money to redeem you."
Jiang Zhinian found it funny: "What? Are you guys traveling together? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
When she told Miaomiao that they were going to Bali to celebrate the Spring Festival, Miaomiao didn't say anything.
Half an hour later, Miaomiao brought her to a place whose decoration style was very similar to that of a high-end hotel.
"Did you guess it?"
Jiang Zhinian was not stupid. When he saw the welcome sign and white decorative flowers on the porch, he realized that this might be a place for a wedding.
"You, are going to have a wedding?"
Yuan Miaomiao laughed: "Me? How could Wang Bo and I possibly go abroad for our wedding? His parents wouldn't agree."
In a large family, a wedding is an occasion for socializing and collecting favors from past red envelopes.
Thinking of this, she felt a little envious of Jiang Zhinian, who could freely hold a wedding that belonged entirely to her and Shi Ye. There were no messy procedures or ceremonies. It was just a couple in love, holding a ceremony related to the sky, the sea, and love in the most beautiful wedding venue.
