"Yes, don't be shy, don't be afraid."
The group looked at Xia Lan, afraid of frightening her, and quickly comforted her.
"Hmm, I'm not nervous, what do you guys say?"
Xia Lan tilted her head to look at the group. What could they possibly need her for?
Xia Lan found it unbelievable.
"The old men in our families found out about your trip last time..."
"Now they're all clamoring to go too..."
"We can't do anything about them. We wanted to ask you if you have any ideas?"
Several people looked at Xia Lan, hoping she could come up with a good idea.
"Then just let them go..."
Xia Lan paused for a moment, then said directly.
"..."
Seeing Xia Lan's expression, the others opened their mouths, wanting to say that this involved a lot of things and was not just a simple trip.
Qin Jun looked at Xia Lan, who chuckled softly.
"In their lives, they have witnessed the decline, suffering, and struggle of a nation, but they have never seen the stunning beauty of the land they have protected for so many years."
"I think they should go and see him."
Xia Lan's words left the others speechless.
After a long silence, the group exchanged glances and sighed heavily.
"You're absolutely right, I have no reason to refute you."
"But it's just a few old men traveling..."
"Then let's equip them with all the professionals. The only concern is that the old man's health might not be able to handle it, so let's also equip them with a medical team."
"When they go on a trip, prepare for all the risks so they can have a worry-free trip. You can rest assured, and they won't have to worry either."
Xia Lan thought for a moment and then made a suggestion.
"With a large bus, you can go wherever you want, with someone watching over you and ready to help if needed, so there's no chance of anything going wrong."
Xia Lan's words startled everyone, and they couldn't help but calculate the feasibility of the matter in their minds.
"You mean bring everything? Keep everyone with you?"
One person asked.
"That's right! That way you won't be afraid! You can go wherever you want and have fun. Someone will keep track of your whereabouts. When you come back from your trip, the old folks will be happy, and you'll be at ease."
Xia Lan's words struck a chord with them.
"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you!"
"ah?"
Xia Lan asked in surprise.
Wasn't the only purpose of asking her to come over and give advice?
How did it become her responsibility?
"If you can think of it, then it proves you have the idea, and I believe you can definitely do it!"
“All expenses for this matter will be covered by our families, including your family’s travel expenses.”
“That’s right. You just need to prepare and arrange everything. We will take care of the medical staff. As for the rest of the odds and ends, as well as the bus you mentioned, we’ll leave it to you.”
"..."
Xia Lan looked to Qin Jun for help. Qin Jun received Xia Lan's signal and was about to speak when he was interrupted.
"Comrade Qin Jun, the success of this mission is extremely important. We cannot let down the expectations of these veteran heroes..."
In one sentence, Qin Jun was completely cornered.
This is a glorious task.
Seeing Qin Jun like this, Xia Lan knew that he couldn't refuse.
After the others left, Qin Jun looked at Xia Lan apologetically.
"I thought they just wanted you to come up with an idea..."
"Dad, let's not talk about this now. They are all Grandpa's chess friends and they have always taken good care of us."
Xia Lan smiled at Qin Jun, offering him words of comfort.
Although the old men never showed up, Xia Lan always approved things very quickly.
She initially thought it was Qin Ming's influence, but it's impossible for Qin Ming to have good connections with every department.
Later, she thought of several old men, each of whom managed different departments in their families. She also met some of their children and grandchildren and heard them express concern, which made Xia Lan realize the truth.
The people who usually take care of their family affairs are clearly these old men.
They don't need to say anything; they just need to call out names, and someone will naturally understand their meaning.
"Thanks a lot."
Qin Jun patted Xia Lan on the shoulder and sighed softly.
When Xiao Yuqin learned that several old men were going with them and that she couldn't refuse, she grabbed Qin Jun by the ear and dragged him into the room.
Xia Lan and Qin Yu exchanged a glance and looked at Qin Jun's retreating figure with sympathy.
"It's easy for you to have a large bus, but we don't need such a big vehicle, do we?"
Qin Yu looked at Xia Lan. He did have connections to find a large bus, but... were there really that many people?
Their family only has seven people, and even if you include the four old men, there are only eleven people.
Do we need a large bus that can carry fifty people?
"Can you get a large bus? That's not enough, the bus needs to be modified."
Xia Lan actually wanted to get a motorhome.
"You want to modify it further?"
Qin Yu listened to Xia Lan's idea with surprise.
That's what I'm thinking right now, but there definitely isn't enough time!
Xia Lan scratched her head. Bringing just a few people wasn't enough; what if someone needed to use the restroom on the way…
Medical staff can treat this as a trip together; it's essential.
However, Xia Lan's main concern was solving their basic needs of eating, drinking, and relieving themselves.
"With so many people, it's impossible for the car to stop every time someone needs to use the restroom, right?"
"That would be too much of a delay..."
"I'm thinking of converting the space in the car into a toilet, so that even while driving, we can take care of the most basic needs."
Xia Lan's idea struck Qin Yu as novel, but...
Modifying this car will take a lot of time.
"Ouch... my head hurts."
Xia Lan held her head in her hands.
"I'll get you the car first, and we'll figure out the rest later."
Qin Yu gently patted Xia Lan's head to comfort her.
After watching Qin Yu leave, Xia Lan returned to her room, thinking about how to decorate the interior of the bus.
A toilet is definitely needed, and it would be best to also have a place to rest.
If we can eat and sleep together...
That means you'll need to bring a lot of consumables, like pots and pans.
Xia Lan made a list, writing down everything that came to mind.
Looking at the full page, Xia Lan fell into deep thought.
When asked to do subtraction, she simply couldn't do it, so she took the paper and went to find Xiao Yuqin and Qin Jun.
"Dad, Mom, please take a look at me..."
Xiao Yuqin looked at the long page of paper that Xia Lan had written, and then at the RV layout that Xia Lan had drawn.
"This...you've created a mobile home?"
Xiao Yuqin stared wide-eyed at the lists.
"I can't choose; they all feel like things I need."
"But how are we going to carry all this stuff?"
After reading it, Qin Jun couldn't help but wipe away his sweat.
"You still want to modify the car like this... It's a good idea, but how are we supposed to do it?"
"This is a huge project; it must take a lot of time, right?"
Xia Lan nodded. If they were to actually do it, the design would definitely take a lot of time.
