For the next two days, Lin Qing didn't go anywhere. She stayed home with the children, cooked for them, and when they rested, she and Gu Nanxun would return to their space to organize the supplies or chat with their friends from other dimensions.
Besides Lin Qing achieving first place, Gu Nanxun also achieved first place at the military academy. Although he often missed school due to work, he still ranked first in the entire school.
Because of this, Lin Qing was teased by her third brother, who said that they were indeed a couple.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye! On the night before the agreed-upon trip, Lin Qing was packing the things she needed to bring the next day.
"Brother Nanxun, how are we going to get there tomorrow?!"
Lin Qing was tidying up when she suddenly asked Gu Nanxun a question.
"Just drive there, why are you suddenly asking that?"
Otherwise, upon hearing Lin Qing's question, Xin replied with a puzzled expression.
“I know we need to drive there, but I mean, how are we going to fit all of us in the car?”
Lin Qing counted on her fingers: she and Gu Nanxun, along with their four children, plus her third brother and Zhao Xi, and their three children, made a total of 11 people. One car definitely wouldn't be enough to fit them all.
"It's not too far from here. We'll go there first tomorrow, and then I'll come back to pick up Third Brother and the others!"
Gu Nanxun said with a smile that he had already thought it through and assumed that Qingqing meant the same thing, but he didn't expect that she had forgotten.
"Alright? That's the only way. I just don't know how we'll get to Sister Hong and Feng Jiao's place tomorrow."
Seeing that the matter was resolved, Lin Qing continued to tidy up her things.
"Chen Bin is definitely driving his dad's car, and Haoran is definitely driving his dad's car too. Don't worry about them."
"Yeah, that's right. They'll definitely make it. Even if something goes wrong, it'll be fine. We can just make a couple more trips. Anyway, we're mainly going to have fun tomorrow."
"Yes, don't worry!"
"Wait, something's not right..."
Suddenly, Lin Qing stopped what she was doing, looked up, and stared at Gu Nanxun with shining eyes.
"What's wrong? What's not right?"
Gu Nanxun asked with a puzzled look.
"Brother Nanxun, you're usually so smart, but you made a foolish mistake! I never thought you'd be so stupid!"
Lin Qing dropped what she was holding, ran to Gu Nanxun's side, hugged his arm, and said happily, her expression as if she had won a 5 million yuan lottery prize.
Lin Qing's actions made Gu Nanxun even more puzzled. He frowned and looked at Lin Qing, raising an eyebrow.
"How am I confused? Explain!"
"Ahem... Think about it! If Chen Bin and Wang Haoran also drive, then we'll have three cars. If we squeeze in, Third Brother and Xi Xi can all get in too! That way, you won't have to make a trip back."
Lin Qing still held onto Gu Nanxun's arm, looking at him playfully and saying with a grin.
Gu Nanxun was stunned for a moment after hearing Lin Qing's words, and then he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Hehe... My wife is so smart! How can my wife be so smart! Oh dear, what a good thing I've done! To marry such a smart wife... Waaah..."
Before Gu Nanxun could finish speaking, Lin Qing covered his mouth. Her Nanxun brother was too good at praising people! What was there to praise? It was making her embarrassed.
"Brother Nanxun, you're not allowed to say that anymore."
Lin Qing stamped her foot and said with a coquettish expression.
"Why are you shy? Our baby is so sensitive..."
Gu Nanxun chuckled as he pulled Lin Qing into his arms, rubbing her head and teasing her with a smile.
For some reason, he noticed that his Qingqing had become more and more affectionate lately, and seemed to be getting younger and younger. Sometimes he even wondered if his Qingqing was growing backwards!
"Alright, you're not allowed to say that anymore..."
Lin Qing said shyly.
"Alright, alright, I won't say anymore. I was just telling the truth. Qingqing is very smart. Look, I didn't even think of that, but you did."
Seeing that Lin Qing was shy, Gu Nanxun stopped teasing her and instead comforted her with a smile.
"No, Brother Nanxun, you're just not used to relying on others. You're used to taking everything on your own."
After listening to Gu Nanxun's words, Lin Qing pointed out the truth. Actually, this was not a good thing; she felt it was a sign that her brother Nanxun lacked a sense of security.
So Lin Qing secretly made up her mind that she must treat her brother Nanxun even better in the future.
Gu Nanxun had no idea that Lin Qing would feel insecure because of his small oversight. If he had known, he would have told Lin Qing that the reason he was so careless was simply because he didn't take the matter seriously and didn't think about it much. He subconsciously thought that if he couldn't finish in one trip, he could just come back again, because he didn't think it would be any trouble.
"Qingqing, don't overthink it. I just feel that there are some things I can do myself, so why bother others?" Gu Nanxun gently patted Lin Qing's shoulder.
"How could it be troublesome? We are friends with them, and friends are meant to help each other!"
Lin Qing disagreed.
Gu Nanxun chuckled upon hearing this, then reached out and pinched Lin Qing's nose. "Alright! Whatever my wife says is right. Don't worry, I don't shoulder everything myself. Look, I'm using Dongzi quite well, aren't I? If we really need their help, I won't let them off the hook!"
Lin Qing relaxed upon hearing this, and she reached out to hug Gu Nanxun, perhaps because she cared too much about him.
That's true. In his later years, Brother Nanxun was a powerful CEO, so he was quite good at using people. He probably thought it was just a small matter and didn't think much of it. Thinking of this, Lin Qing couldn't help but say, "Okay, just remember that. As long as you remember, we'll share everything in the future because we're one."
"Okay, whatever you say." Gu Nanxun nodded with a smile.
The two continued packing, discussing what they needed to bring the next day as they did so.
"Let's bring more food and water!"
"And snacks that kids like to eat."
"Oh, and fruit too!"
"Let's bring this mat too! We can put it on the floor for the kids to play on!"
Can I bring a tent? Are tents available for sale now?
As Lin Qing packed her things, she muttered to herself. When she saw the tent in the warehouse, she couldn't help but ask Gu Nanxun, as she didn't seem to have seen any tents in the department store.
"Yes, there are military tents, outdoor work tents, and simple civilian tents nowadays. However, these tents are all quite bulky and not very suitable for us to take out, let alone compare with the luxury tents in the warehouse."
