Zheng Kuo smiled as he watched the children. His son might finally find a good use for stickers. Maybe Feifei wouldnât cover the fridge and the TV with stickers anymore!
âIâll stick it here,â muttered Doudou as she wrote in her bullet journal.
[Chatterboxâ¦]
[Doudou is so cute. Why are you calling her a chatterbox?]
[I didnât mean it in a derogatory way.]
At Feifeiâs house, the children focused on making their bullet journals very colorful.
At Wheatleyâs house, Nannan and Michael finished their meal and waited for their daughter to come home. When she didnât come back, they headed to Feifeiâs house. Su Wei had also arrived at Feifeiâs house as he searched for his son.
Huo Meijun had taken screenshots of Tutu in the live broadcast. She missed her grandson. She texted Su Wei to ask for updates.
âTutu is very good. He hasnât caused trouble at all. He is okay. Donât worry,â replied Su Wei.
At 1.30 p.m., the parents took the children back to their respective houses to get ready to gather at the village entrance for the mission.
Lin Wan wore a lightweight down jacket and UGG boots. The shoes werenât comfortable for running, but they kept her warm.
Li Yanchen wore a fleece-lined leather jacket. He looked rich. The three children were dressed casually.
Wheatley wore a pleated skirt with safety shorts, and a coffee-colored fur coat on top. Nannan and Wheatley wore matching mother-daughter outfits.
Doudou wore a sports outfit and tied her hair in a bun.
At the village entrance, the staff had prepared two large boxes of things.
âDo we really have to run?â thought Xiao Tianlin. He looked at the two boxes, wondering if they contained first-aid kits.
The guests discussed the mission among themselves. Michael didnât think that the mission would be that simple.
When the guests had all arrived, the director smiled. âEveryone is here! You probably might be thinking that this mission is another race, right?â
âThat⦠isnât true,â said the director. âWeâre planning to take everyone to another place. Please follow the staff. These two boxes of things and tricycles will be brought along as well.â
âItâs not a race? Then⦠is it a slow race where we have to walk? This sounds easy, â said Xiao Tianlin.
âWell⦠it does involve a little bit of walking. Everyone can enjoy the scenery along the way. There arenât many nice sceneries in Lan Village,â said the director.
âThe afternoon task is just taking a walk and appreciating the scenery? Do you intend to make us write a travelog when we get back?â asked Li Zexin.
Everyone looked at Li Zexin in surprise. It made sense. After so many physical activities, maybe it was time for a literary one: Writing.
Li Zexin hated writing essays and such. He dreaded it in school too because he wasnât good at it. He was in middle school, and his brother was in high school. However, Tutu and Doudou had just started kindergarten. Could they even write?
âWhatâs a travelog?â asked the two young children.
Although Li Zekai was already in the second grade, he was still learning to write simple sentences. He didnât understand what a travelog was. The mission was a childâs play for Li Meng. She loved writing.
[That makes sense.]
[If one person from the family writes it, it would be enough.
[Xinxin is obviously tired of writing essays at school.]
The director was also confused. âHow did Li Zexin come up with such an idea?â
âYour suggestion is good,â said the director. âBut we arenât going to make you write. Everyone, please get ready to depart.â
Tutu felt like they were going on a camping trip.
âAre we going camping?â he asked excitedly.
The large boxes probably contained tents. The children were all excited. âIt must be camping!â said Feifei. âThere might be delicious food in the boxes!â
âItâs a little outside the village. Not very far away. Itâs safe and fun!â said Li Zexuan.
Xiao Yi smiled. There must be a grassy area outside the village where they could camp! But he recalled them announcing that it was only for two hours⦠The director and the staff members smiled, but they remained silent.
[Thatâs great! Tutu might be right!]
[I think I saw food in the big boxes. The packaging at the corner looks exactly like the one on the egg pastries that I eat.]
[There is no doubt that this mission is a camping trip. They might have already prepared the food.]
Everyone assumed that it indeed was a camping trip.
At that moment, everyone believed that the afternoon task was indeed camping. Tutu was ecstatic.
The other children were also happy. They only thought of eating good food and playing around.
Lin Wan was also very happy. She liked the sound of a camping trip. She could lie down and laze around. The weather was good to just lie down on the grass. The mothers from other families were also looking forward to it.
The fathers werenât very excited. They liked doing physical activities more than camping, except for Xiao Tianlin. He liked doing nothing.
Xiao Tianlin just wanted to lie down and bask in the sun. It didnât matter if there was food or not. He just wanted to sit down.
Pei Lingfeng felt a bit disappointed. He had been eager for a race.
After walking for half an hour, everyone thought they would arrive soon. However, the staff showed no sign of stopping.
Everyone began to think that maybe this wasnât a camping trip.
âYoung man, do you know what the mission actually is?â asked Xiao Tianlin, but the staff remained tight-lipped..
