Most of the people in the southwest are ethnic minorities. Ji Ling came here to play in her previous life and liked the climate here very much. However, it is not a place to live, so she cannot come here often.

There are not many people going out to play now, and many places are not yet so commercialized. Ji Ling thinks it is more meaningful to travel more during this time.

But when she said it, she changed her explanation, "After the child is born, I have to take care of the baby and go to school, and then I have to work. I don't know when I can take a long vacation after work. I can't come here to play in a short time. Since you have a vacation, let's take advantage of this time to go around."

Zhu Weidong said, "You arrange it."

Ji Ling lied fluently, "When I came here, I asked the locals about the best places to visit. I'll arrange the itinerary. By the way, when can you stay until the New Year?"

"Come back on the sixth day."

"Then let me see what our plans are for the New Year." Ji Ling excitedly went to find a pen and paper and began to write seriously.

Zhu Weidong heard someone calling him from outside. Ji Ling looked up and saw that he was dark, thin, and had big eyes.

Zhu Weidong said, "It's Engineer Li, I'll go out and take a look."

He said something and stood up and went out.

Li Gong was far away from the tent, and he didn't look into the tent as curiously as the others. "Xiao Zhu, don't you and your wife want to go out for a walk during the holiday?"

"I plan to go out for a walk."

Li Gong patted his shoulder and said, "Your sister-in-law is here too. I was thinking that we should go together? It will be more lively this way. Where are you going?"

"Xiaoling is planning her trip, but I don't know where she's going yet."

"Oh, there's still a schedule. That's even easier. Let's just settle it. Let's go together someday."

"Tomorrow." The environment here is not very good, and Zhu Weidong doesn't want his wife to stay any longer.

"Then I have to hurry back and ask your sister-in-law to pack up." Li Gong asked how many days he would be away tomorrow. When he heard Zhu Weidong say that he was going to discuss with the truck driver, he said, "Let's go together. Let's agree on a time. I'll go back and prepare as well."

The two of them stood outside and talked, and they didn't deliberately hide what they said from others. Soon, the news that Engineer Zhu and Engineer Li's families were going out to play together spread.

Ji Ling did not leave the tent. When she knew that Mr. Li and his wife were going with them, she was stunned for a moment. She didn't like traveling with others because she had to take care of them in every aspect. But seeing that Zhu Weidong would not refuse anyone, she did not mention it, but copied a copy of her itinerary and handed it to him.

"Take this and show it to Engineer Li and the others. This is the itinerary I made. If they don't like it, we can go separately wherever they want to go."

Zhu Weidong took it and sent it over. He returned soon with the opinions of Engineer Li and his team. "Engineer Li said he is not familiar with this place and just wants to go out for a walk. Anywhere is fine. You have even arranged where to stay for a few days. Just follow your plan."

Ji Ling's original hope that they would disapprove was shattered, and she responded unhappily.

Zhu Weidong sat down, "Don't you like being with them?"

Ji Ling nodded, then shook her head, "Far away, they smell better. If we play together, we have to take care of them together. I'm afraid that in the end, they will be forced to compromise and follow our wishes. That would be bad."

"No, Engineer Li is not that kind of person." Zhu Weidong replied, "I told him about this when I went there just now, and Engineer Li said that it would cause trouble for us."

Ji Ling looked at Zhu Weidong with amusement, "That's right, you are just face-blind, not stupid, you also understand the ways of the world."

Zhu Weidong chuckled and leaned close to his ear while speaking, "Thank you for not treating me like a child."

The ambiguous actions and words that made people think too much made Ji Ling blush and push him away, "It's obviously you who have impure thoughts."

"It's impure to talk and bite my ear now."

Laughter could be heard from the tent from time to time. People passing by were no longer surprised by this scene. It was not that the cold-hearted Engineer Zhu could not laugh, but that he gave all his laughter and tenderness to his wife.

Early the next morning, Zhu Weidong and Li Gong's families took their belongings and got on the truck and set off. Ji Ling was pregnant, so she sat in the back of the truck. Zhu Weidong sat in the passenger seat, and Li Gong and his wife and other people who were going out sat in the truck bed.

Xu Li was so shaken that her bones were about to fall apart. She complained to her husband in a low voice, "Can't we just walk on our own?"

Li Gong looked at the scenery in the distance and replied, "No matter who you go with, you'll still be riding in a truck."

Xu Li stopped talking.

This is also the truth. It was not because Ji Ling was pregnant that she excluded them from sitting in the truck.

The weather here is very hot. It was just past nine o'clock and the sun was already overhead. Many people were hiding in their tents.

Chang Ya sat in the tent, feeling uncomfortable. "There are still more than ten days before the New Year. It would be a lot of trouble to go out and come back. I can't go far."

Chi Fangping smiled and said, "It's holiday time, everyone wants to go out for a walk, why don't you go out and take a look?"

"I have eleven days, and I have to rush back for the Chinese New Year, so I can't stay outside for a few days."

"You can come back on the sixth day. If you spend the New Year outside, you have sixteen days to play, so half a month is plenty of time."

Chang Ya opened her mouth and said, "It's better to spend the New Year here with everyone than to spend it alone outside."

Chi Fangping understood her feelings. "When I first came out to work with the construction team, I missed home too, especially when my child was sick. I was very worried. I cried the first time I spent the New Year away from home. It's always like this at the beginning, but you'll get used to it slowly."

Chang Ya blushed, "Sister Fang Ping, I'm not homesick, I'm just not used to being in a strange place all of a sudden. Fortunately, you're here."

"Yeah, I'm here, right? If you like, you can spend the New Year with me."

"Is it okay not to go back?"

"Xiao Ru and my mother are in the city. It's her winter vacation. The weather is good here, so I asked them to come over. I'll pack up in the next two days and then we'll go to the city."

Chang Ya's eyes lit up, "Well, I only saw Xiaoru when she was born."

Seeing her smile, Chi Fangping joked, "Are you happy now?"

Dang Ya nodded shyly, "Sister Fang Ping, it's great to have you."

Chi Fangping smiled.

Just then, Lin Xiang rushed in from outside, "Doctor Chi, Xiao Song is back and said your family brought a letter saying that your daughter is sick and the hospital here can't find out what's wrong, so they asked you to go back quickly."

After hearing this, Chi Fangping dropped the pen in her hand on the table. She turned around, picked up the bag on the bed, and rushed out of the tent.

Chang Ya got up and chased after her, "Sister Fang Ping, I'll go with you."
