"Hehe," Wang Yueyue helped put the plate in Li Wenxuan's hand on the table, then ran over and pulled Ding Qiunan to sit down at the table, and then fawned over her by patting her shoulder.
"Qiu Nan's mom, I want to go out and play with Xuan for a few days. Let's go to the beach in Dongshan. My classmates are there too."
"Yes, I know."
"Ah? You know? It is..." At this point, Wang Yueyue suddenly realized that she had been deceived by her brother Xuan.
"Fine, Li Wenxuan, you actually dared to lie to me." With that, she ran out of the living room and headed towards the kitchen.
Ding Qiunan turned her head and looked innocently at her man: "Did I say something wrong?"
Li Chu shrugged: "I guess Wenxuan was just joking with her."
No sooner had he finished speaking than screams of agony came from the kitchen.
After a while, Li Wenxuan walked in with his hair in a bird's nest shape and a plate in his hand, followed by Wang Yueyue, whose face was slightly flushed with excitement.
As soon as he entered the living room, he gave his father a somewhat resentful look.
Actually, Li Wenxuan wasn't exactly lying. He had only told Wang Yueyue that his mother hadn't agreed yet, but he hadn't expected his father to tell his mother so quickly.
The next morning, Li Chu went to the train station early to buy a ticket.
His friend was really helpful; he got him a sleeper ticket that very night, and it was arranged for him to leave that very evening.
They even helped arrange return tickets, so they can simply pick them up at the local train station before their return trip.
When he got home, his two children had already packed their luggage and looked eager to leave.
In the study, Li Chu and Wen Xuan sat facing each other.
"Did your mother give out all the tickets?"
"They gave it to me, and even offered me money, but I didn't take it."
"Hmm," Li Chu nodded, thought for a moment, opened the desk drawer, took something out and placed it on the table, then pushed it in front of Wenxuan.
Li Wenxuan looked at the thing his father was pushing towards him with some surprise, pointed at it and asked, "Dad, what are you doing?"
"Take it with you, that way I'll feel more at ease."
"But..." Wenxuan wanted to say something, but seeing his father's determined eyes, he shut his mouth and simply reached out and picked up the thing on the table.
It was clearly a Type 64 pistol.
He skillfully ejected the magazine, glanced at it, pulled the slide back, carefully returned the hammer to its position, then reinstalled the magazine, locked the safety, and put it back into the holster.
"Only five bullets were loaded," Li Chu said, taking a few more bullets from the drawer and placing them on the table.
"Pack everything up. It's best to keep the gun with you at all times, but of course, it's best not to show it unless necessary."
Remember, we won't cause trouble, but we shouldn't be afraid of trouble either. No matter what, prioritize your and Yueyue's safety. I'll be there for you no matter what happens.
"I understand, Dad," Li Wenxuan replied solemnly.
He paused for a moment, then said with a smile, "Dad, you should have let me take that Type 54 pistol. What's the difference between that and a small firecracker?"
Li Wenxuan still looked down on the gun in his hand.
"Didn't you say you didn't want to take it? Why do you want to exchange it now?"
"If I had to take it, I would definitely want the more powerful one."
"Alright, that's enough. The May Fourth Movement is a bit too big, it's not easy to carry around, and it's not good to have it exposed, especially since you don't have a gun license."
"oh"
"Go ahead and see if there's anything you haven't packed yet. Make sure you bring everything you need."
"By the way, Wenxuan, after you arrive tomorrow, remember to call back to let me know you've arrived safely. Call your mother's office, I might not be there tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll go out now, Dad."
"Mm," Li Chu nodded.
Watching Wenxuan walk out of the study, he closed the desk drawer again.
Wenxuan was asked to bring the gun, just in case, as the roads are not very safe right now.
Even if something really happens, he believes Wenxuan can handle it.
He had been hunting in the mountains every year for years, and as a doctor, he had seen all kinds of dead people, so he wasn't worried about Wenxuan's courage at all.
The main reason he couldn't rest easy was because Yueyue was there.
While Li Chu and Wen Xuan were in the study, Ding Qiunan also pulled Wang Yueyue into the bedroom.
"Yueyue, pack this up. Wenxuan said you have a lot of pocket money, but it's always good to bring more when you're out and about."
Wang Yueyue looked at the envelope in her hand, opened it, and saw that it contained a thick stack of 10,000 yuan notes.
“Qiu Nan’s mom, we really are rich.”
"I know you two are rich, so bring extra money as a backup. Keep the money in separate places, just in case."
Wang Yueyue thought for a moment and nodded: "Alright then, I'll return it to you if I don't need it when I get back."
"Little girl, what's wrong? Are you trying to distance yourself from me?"
"No, it's just that I've already started working, and I'm too embarrassed to ask you for money again."
Wang Yueyue quickly explained.
None of the three children in the family spend money recklessly. The eighteen yuan subsidy they receive when they go to school is enough for them.
The pocket money they were given was all saved by the children themselves. As parents, they didn't actually know how much money the three children had.
"Yueyue, did you tell your mother that you were going out with Wenxuan?"
“I already said that. I even called my grandma during the day to tell her.”
"That's good." Ding Qiunan raised her hand and stroked Wang Yueyue's soft hair: "When you're out and about, listen to your brother Xuan and don't be childish."
"Okay," Wang Yueyue nodded, "I understand, Aunt Qiu Nan. Don't worry, I will definitely listen to Brother Xuan."
"But you can't just listen to him. If he acts impulsively, or if you know he's wrong, you still have to say something to him."
"I understand," Wang Yueyue replied, resting her head on Ding Qiunan's shoulder.
"Qiu Nan's mom, I suddenly don't want to go anymore."
"Silly girl," Ding Qiunan patted Yueyue's leg: "What nonsense are you talking about? It's not like you're not coming back. You're just going out to play for ten days or half a month. If you miss me, just call me, whether it's the office phone or the home phone. You know that."
These two people, one didn't treat the other as a daughter-in-law but raised her as a daughter, and the other didn't treat the other as a mother-in-law but as her own mother, had an extremely good relationship.
Wang Yueyue chuckled sheepishly, pressed her face against Ding Qiunan's neck, and rubbed it against her neck twice.
"Come on, let's go to your house and see if you've packed everything. I'll buy you some braised beef and baked buns later."
"Qiu Nan's mom, let's go out together later."
"Okay, let's go out for a walk together, mother and daughter."
"What mother and daughter? When we go out, people will say we're sisters."
"Haha, it's not that exaggerated."
