When Friday arrived, Feng Haidong simply asked his son and Yang Xiaoxi for leave from school that afternoon.
After lunch, everyone rested and prepared everything.
After Lu Yaobin finished dealing with his business, he drove his minivan to pick them up with Zhou Xiaoxiao.
Feng Haidong, holding his youngest daughter, and Lu Wanling, leading her son, niece, and Yang Xiaoxi, got into Lu Yaobin's car.
At this moment, the children were very happy and excited.
Lu Chengzong and Lin Guojin repeatedly gave instructions to Lu Yaobin, who was driving.
"Third brother, you must be careful when you drive."
"Yes, please don't drive too fast, and be careful."
Hearing his parents' instructions, Lu Yaobin earnestly agreed: "Mom and Dad, don't worry, I know. I will be very careful and will never drive fast. I will also pay attention to safety when driving on national highways."
Zhou Xiaoxiao added, "Uncle and Aunt, don't worry, I'll give Yaobin lots of reminders on the way."
Lin Guojin said, "Okay, Xiao Zhou, be careful on the road too."
Zhou Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement: "Okay, Auntie, I will be careful."
After giving instructions to Lu Yaobin and Zhou Xiaoxiao, the elderly couple then gave instructions to Feng Haidong and Lu Wanling.
"You two should also pay more attention to safety. Taking so many children there, even if it's only for two days, will be very tiring. You two should also make sure to get some rest, especially when you're carrying Mengmeng on the way."
"Yes, you must pay close attention to Mengmeng. If Mengmeng is feeling unwell, have Lao San drive slower, or pull over to the side of the road so you can rest for a bit."
Feng Haidong said, "Don't worry, Mom and Dad, we will definitely take good care of the child."
Lu Wanling said, "Mom and Dad are fine. Let Dad hold Mengmeng. They'll be alright on the way."
Lu Wanling was still full of anticipation for this trip to the provincial capital, and she knew that her husband and younger brother had also made a lot of preparations, so she felt relatively at ease.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Feng Haidong specifically spoke to Yang Chengjian and Dong Xia.
"You two focus on your business, don't worry. I'll definitely take good care of Xixi. I'll call back to let you know I'm safe once we get to the provincial capital."
Yang Chengjian and Dong Xia exchanged a glance, and he smiled and said, "Brother Feng, we can rest assured."
Dong Xia said, "Brother Feng, if Xixi is disobedient, don't spoil her."
Feng Haidong said with a smile, "Xixi is so well-behaved, she will definitely listen. I think among the children, the only one who is disobedient is our little Mengmeng. I hope that girl won't cause trouble on the way."
That made everyone laugh.
After saying goodbye to everyone again, Feng Haidong and the others got into the car together.
Feng Haidong also fastened the seat belts for the children sitting in the last row.
Feng Haidong and his wife sat in the row in front of the children, and he practically strapped his daughter to himself with a baby carrier he had prepared.
Zhou Xiaoxiao sat in the passenger seat, while Lu Yaobin drove.
As everyone watched, the car slowly started and drove away from the front of Feng Haidong's restaurant.
As they watched the car drive away, the family members all smiled.
Everyone was quite happy about the trip to the provincial capital. After all, it was Children's Day, and it was a great opportunity for the children to have some fun.
On the way to the provincial capital, Feng Shimeng was relatively quiet in her father's arms.
Perhaps because it was her first time riding in a car, the little girl was very curious about the scenery rushing past outside.
She waved her little hands in her father's arms and called out to the outside world, making "ee-ee-ya-ya" sounds.
Seeing his daughter in his arms, Feng Haidong smiled and whispered to her, "We're in a car, it's your uncle's car, beep beep beep, we're going to the provincial capital to play and spend Children's Day with our older brothers and sisters."
Feng Shimeng didn't understand her father's words; she just waved her little hands and continued to babble "ee-ee-ya-ya" to the outside world.
Lu Yaobin turned on the car radio, inserted a cassette tape, and started playing music.
Hearing the singing, Feng Shimeng's attention was drawn to it.
The little girl stared ahead, as if wondering where the singing was coming from.
The children sitting in the last row quickly started singing along as they listened to the song.
Hearing singing behind her, Feng Shimeng immediately turned her head to look behind her father.
Then Feng Shimeng saw the older brothers and sisters sitting in the back.
This made Feng Shimeng feel like she had found something interesting.
“Yi yi ya ya” “Xi xi xi”
The little girl called out to the older brothers and sisters behind her twice, and then started laughing to herself, as if seeing them made her very happy.
Seeing her younger sister smiling, Yang Xiaoxi asked, "Mengmeng, what are you laughing at?"
Upon hearing her older sister's voice, Feng Shimeng first peeked back, then shrank back into her father's arms, as if playing hide-and-seek with her older siblings.
Lu Yue said with a smile, "Sister Xixi, little Mengmeng is playing hide-and-seek with us."
Yang Xiaoxi said, "Haha, Mengmeng is so smart, she knows how to use Uncle Feng to block herself."
Feng Qifan said, "Sometimes my sister seems very smart, and sometimes she seems very stupid. I don't know whether she is smart or stupid."
Yang Xiaoxi and Lu Yue said almost in unison, "Of course my sister is smart."
Hearing the children's voices, Feng Haidong smiled and said to his son, "My little sister isn't stupid. She's just still immature and doesn't remember many things, so sometimes she seems a bit slow."
Lu Yue said, "Mengmeng is very smart. She recognizes me and can talk to me."
Yang Xiaoxi asked, "Can you understand what your sister is saying?"
Lu Yue shook her head: "I don't understand."
Hearing her older siblings talking behind her, Feng Shimeng peeked out from her father's arms and looked at them, making "ee-ee-ya-ya" sounds as if in agreement. Then she smiled at them.
Lu Yue said, "You see, my sister is very smart. She knows we are talking and tries to get our attention."
Seeing their sister's expression, Feng Qifan and Yang Xiaoxi felt that Lu Yue's explanation did indeed seem to be correct.
For the rest of the journey, the children chatted and played in the car.
Time does indeed pass quite quickly.
Not long after, Lu Yaobin turned around and said, "We're heading into the provincial capital."
Upon hearing this, the three children in the last row quickly looked out the window.
Seeing her older siblings looking outside, Feng Shimeng, nestled in her father's arms, quickly tried to look out as well. However, because she was lying in her father's arms with her body facing the back, she could only twist her body to look, and after twisting like that for a long time, she still couldn't see outside.
Feng Shimeng was very anxious because she couldn't see outside.
Mom smiled and helped turn the little girl around, pointing out the car window and saying, "Mengmeng, look! We're entering the provincial capital now. Mengmeng was born in the provincial capital."
Listening to her mother's words, Feng Shimeng stood on her father's lap and looked outside. The little girl was very quiet at this moment.
Lu Yaobin drove slowly into the provincial capital, the song playing in the car was "Happy Hometown".
