"You're making Dad sad. Aren't you worried about him being in danger outside?"
Nan Qu felt somewhat helpless; the two children's hostility towards Su Ruoyan remained undiminished.
Nanxing said, "Don't worry, Mom, Dad is very strong. If a tiger really came down the mountain, he would definitely be able to outrun everyone else." Nanqu was speechless at this answer.
Nan Chen also said, "Mom, we're making Dad feel insecure, letting him know that if he doesn't treat Mom well, he'll lose all of us!"
Nan Qu chuckled: "How old are you? You even know this?"
Nan Chen patted his chest: "Of course I know!"
Nanxing put the small animal she was holding down and said, "Little brother, don't talk yet, let's lock all the doors and windows first!"
Nan Chen nodded: "Yes, yes. We must protect Mom."
Nan Qu looked puzzled.
When the two children came over, Nanqu asked curiously, "How did you know which one is the older brother and which one is the younger brother?"
Nan Chen said, "It's just a deduction. My mother gave birth to me but the baby was switched. So my brother must have been born and waiting before I was born."
That makes sense.
Nan Chen added, "Mom, my brother doesn't know his own birthday, but he's always celebrated it using my birthday. We've all agreed that from now on, he'll share my birthday too. That way, we can celebrate our birthdays on the same day."
Nanxing nodded, "Thank you, little brother, you're so kind~"
Nan Chen also said, "Brother is fine too~"
Seeing how affectionate the two little ones were, Nan Qu said helplessly, "That's enough. Too much affection is a bit greasy."
The two little ones looked at each other, then let go of each other's hands. The two children returned to their previous behavior.
"Little brother, you lost. You wash the dishes today."
"Okay then. Mom, why aren't you moved?"
Nan Qu said helplessly, "Because your expressions are too exaggerated."
As she spoke, Su Ruoyan called: "There are no signs of tigers nearby, the danger has been eliminated. I'll go for a walk around the area and come back when I'm sure it's safe."
Nan Qu overheard other people talking on the other end of the phone; Su Ruoyan was probably patrolling with the nearby border guards. Since that was the case, Nan Qu decided to leave it at that.
"Then be careful."
Then he hung up the phone.
"Your dad won't be back for a while. What are you having for dinner tonight? I'll cook."
"I like to eat whatever my mom makes."
Me too~
Nan Qu couldn't help but laugh: "Two little bootlickers!"
......
Because Nanqu brought back so many small animals, the group that originally planned to take public transportation to Beijing ended up having to drive instead.
With less than two weeks until the Lunar New Year, and having stayed here for a while, Nanqu suggested a road trip.
So, the family, along with the four small animals, got back into the car.
Su Ruoyan drove the car to the suburbs and switched to a motorhome once again.
It's still an off-road RV, but this one isn't as flashy as the previous ones. There's a wood-burning stove near the entrance, with plenty of firewood already piled up underneath, along with an electric saw.
There's a shoe cabinet across the street where you can change your shoes.
There was a water tank behind the wood-burning stove, which surprised Nanqu; the vehicle had underfloor heating. Next to the water tank was a circulation pump.
"This is a point heating system. Electricity can also be used without burning firewood. There are solar panels on top, and the RV is fully charged. It will be enough for us all the way to Beijing, even if there is no sun for the entire journey."
As she spoke, Su Ruoyan got into the RV, turned on the power, and plugged in the electric heater. The two of them changed into disposable slippers and got into the vehicle.
Nanqu immediately spotted the bunk beds at the back of the train.
Su Ruoyan walked to the bed and pulled out all the drawers on the lower bunk: "This spot can be made into a cat or dog bed. You don't need to put the drawers in; you can just put them down there."
As she spoke, Su Ruoyan pulled out four drawers side by side.
I plan to take these drawers down later.
Then, Su Ruoyan pointed to the back of the drawer and said, "There's a ventilation device here; the litter box can be placed here. By the way, didn't we forget to buy a litter box?"
Nan Qu nodded: "They used to take care of these things outside."
Su Ruoyan said, "It's easy during the day, but at night the car doors are closed and they can't get out easily. Let's buy them."
After inspecting the bed, Su Ruoyan pointed to a cabinet door next to it: "This is the room door. Look like this." With that, Su Ruoyan pulled, and the folding doors unfolded one by one, until they were locked in a recess on the other side of the car.
"If you want to get out from inside, these two doors are movable and can be opened directly."
As she spoke, Su Ruoyan opened the two partition doors in the middle of the bed. The room inside was now completely enclosed.
"That way, when we cook, the smell won't seep in."
After introducing the bed, Su Ruoyan began to introduce the kitchen and dining room.
Su Ruoyan pressed a button, and the originally narrow passageway became spacious, and the kitchen was expanded.
"You can cook here, and there's a restaurant across the street where you can eat. The restroom is here."
Su Ruoyan pointed to a small room between the dining room and the bedroom.
As she spoke, she opened the bathroom door. Inside, there was not only a shower and toilet, but also a washing machine.
"There's a solar-powered water tank in the car. Even in Northeast China, the water temperature inside can reach 30 degrees Celsius. A full tank of water can last my family for three days. So please remember to remind me to add water to the car."
Nan Qu couldn't help but look at Su Ruoyan with curiosity, listening to how knowledgeable he was about the car.
"You seem quite familiar with this car?"
Su Ruoyan touched her nose: "I was thinking about getting one when I was driving you and Nanxing on our trip before. I didn't expect it to be ready now."
Nan Qu looked at him with a half-smile: "We hadn't known each other for very long back then, right? What's wrong with your bed?"
Su Ruoyan said, "At the time, I was thinking that I didn't have long to live anyway, and before I died, I wanted to travel one last time. However, I didn't dare to think too much about it at the time, because this restaurant can be raised and lowered. At the time, I was just thinking that you and Nanxing would sleep in the bed, and I would sleep here."
Nan Qu felt both sorry for him and amused: "Did I forget to tell you that you're completely cured?"
Su Ruoyan was stunned, thinking she had misheard.
Unexpectedly, Nanqu said again, "I wasn't planning to tell you. Because I know that once you know you're better, you'll definitely do dangerous things. But seeing your expression, I feel a little guilty."
Su Ruoyan looked at Nan Qu with excitement in his eyes, so much so that he didn't know how to speak for a moment.
Nan Qu said, "I know what you want to say. I can confirm that the hidden injuries you sustained before have healed. Do whatever you want, as long as you can ensure your own safety."
As soon as Nan Qu finished speaking, Su Ruoyan hugged her tightly.
