The group arrived at the park. At that time, there was no dedicated parking lot in front of the park, and not many people would drive to the park.
Liu Jianwu also parked his car in a relatively empty spot in front of the park.
Then, the group quickly grabbed their belongings and got out of the car to head to the park.
Feng Qifan was already impatient. Today was his birthday, and the excitement of Children's Day hadn't subsided yet, so there was a constant stream of people heading towards the park.
For Feng Qifan, it had also been a while since he had visited the park.
Today, his parents finally agreed to take him to the park, and his uncle even drove them there. In addition, his father prepared a sumptuous picnic meal. Feng Qifan felt so happy that it was unreal.
So as soon as the car stopped, Feng Qifan jumped out the instant the door opened.
Seeing his son jump out of the car and about to run towards the park gate, Feng Haidong stopped him in time: "Fanfan, don't run away by yourself. There are so many things in the car. Aren't you going to help carry them?"
Upon hearing his father's words, Feng Qifan quickly stopped and turned around to say, "Oh, Dad, I forgot."
Feng Haidong said, "I just told you this morning that you need to stay calm in the face of adversity and not get cocky just because someone praises you. Look at you, aren't you starting to make mistakes now?"
His father's words made Feng Qifan realize that he had done something wrong, and he lowered his head and obediently returned to the car.
Seeing this, Mei Yaqin smiled and said, "Haidong, Fanfan is still a child, you don't need to be so strict."
Feng Haidong calmly said, "Because he is a child, we should teach him how to speak in time. Since we all came together, he should not leave everyone behind and run away first. Besides, there are so many things on the bus. As one of the only three men on the bus, even if he is young, he should have gentlemanly manners."
Hearing Feng Haidong's first words made Mei Yaqin feel a little unhappy, but when she heard what he said later, she laughed.
"Haha, Haidong really knows how to talk. He said we are the only three men in the car? That's not wrong. Fanfan is indeed the third youngest man in our group, so he should show his gentlemanly manners."
Feng Haidong smiled and said to his son, "Son, did you hear what your Aunt Mei said? You're a man now. A man should have manners and be responsible. You can't let your aunt, mom, and sister carry all these things, so you have to take the initiative to carry more, understand?"
Feng Qifan was somewhat unhappy when his father called him back.
But now, hearing what Aunt Mei and his father were saying, he suddenly found it very interesting.
"It's Dad, I know. I'm a little man, and I need to help my uncle and dad carry things to lighten the burden on my aunt, mom, and sister, so they can carry very few and light things."
Feng Haidong said, "That's right."
Mei Yaqin laughed and said, "Haha, then Auntie thanks our little man."
Lu Wanling gave her son a thumbs up and said, "Great job, Mom's little man."
Liu Ting, who was listening in the car, also found it hilarious. She handed a package from the car to Feng Qifan and said, "Little man, take this package."
Feng Haidong noticed that Liu Ting had given his son something quite heavy, but he didn't say anything. He simply took the package and told his son to get something else that was a little lighter.
After collecting their belongings, the group headed towards the park.
Upon arriving at the park entrance, Mei Yaqin and Lu Wanling went to buy tickets, while Feng Haidong and Liu Jianwu waited at the gate with the two children.
After buying their tickets, the group followed the endless stream of people into the park.
Stepping into the park, Feng Haidong and his group did not stand out much amidst the endless stream of people.
As Feng Qifan entered the room, he saw the bumper cars not far away and said, "Dad, let's go play on the bumper cars."
Before Feng Haidong could answer, Liu Ting said, "What's so fun about bumper cars? It's just bumping into each other!"
Upon hearing her daughter's words, Mei Yaqin quickly said, "Tingting, isn't this what we do at the park? What else can we do at the park?"
Liu Ting said to her mother without hesitation, "I want to go boating. Boating on the lake in this kind of weather would be so poetic and picturesque."
Mei Yaqin wanted to say a few more words to her daughter, but Feng Haidong stopped her in time.
"Sister Mei, how about this: you take Liu Ting to go boating, and Wanling and I will take Fanfan to play here for a while. Around noon, we'll meet up at the island in the middle of the lake, and then we'll find a place on the island for a picnic. Is that alright?"
Before her parents could reply, Liu Ting blurted out, "Great! Uncle Feng has made excellent arrangements."
Mei Yaqin and Liu Jianwu exchanged a glance, as if they wanted to say something more.
But Feng Haidong smiled and said, "Okay, let's arrange it like this. Sister Mei and brother-in-law, you take Liu Ting first. You really don't need to stay here with us."
In the end, Mei Yaqin and Liu Jianwu couldn't resist their daughter's insistence. The couple apologized and took their daughter to the dock by the lake in the park.
After Mei Yaqin and her family left, Feng Haidong breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he smiled and said to his son, "Son, let's go, let's go ride bumper cars."
Feng Qifan shouted happily, "Great! Let's go, let's go ride the bumper cars!"
Seeing this, Lu Wanling followed the father and son towards the bumper cars.
Walking down the street, Lu Wanling couldn't help but lean closer to her husband and whisper, "Do you have some kind of problem with Sister Mei? Why do I feel like you're always deliberately avoiding her? Sister Mei and the others came to celebrate Fanfan's birthday today, why are you acting like this?"
