"I can stay at Uncle Yi's house."
"Ah... well..."
"What's wrong, is that not okay?"
"It's fine." Cheng Nuo explained her hesitation: "Wasn't I just Brother Yi before I went upstairs? How did it suddenly become Uncle?"
"Because I understand manners."
"What do you mean?"
"If he and my dad are brother-like friends, shouldn't I switch to calling him uncle?"
"Hmm, that makes sense." Cheng Nuo nodded in agreement.
"Sister Cheng Nuo." Meng Xin Zhi joined the conversation and asked: "Are you really going to lend us the RV?"
Moving into someone else's house out of the blue was definitely not acceptable for Meng Xin Zhi.
Especially knowing that Nie Guangyi's grandfather had a funeral to arrange.
In such a situation, it wasn't suitable to go if you were just a general acquaintance.
"Of course." Cheng Nuo answered.
"Then what will you do tonight?" This was a question Meng Xin Zhi couldn't help but care about, so she suggested: "Why don't you sleep in my room?"
"No need." Cheng Nuo declined: "I'll have my friend come pick me up in a while. She lives not far from here, it's at most a half-hour drive away."
"Is that so?" Meng Xin Zhi looked at Cheng Nuo, "Then I'll take you seriously."
"Genuine as it gets, don't worry, I won't shortchange myself."
Cheng Nuo patted Meng Xin Zhi's hand.
Hearing that they could take the RV for camping, Jijizi excitedly went to find Lan Lan Zi.
"Camping now, with mosquitoes as your relatives?"
"How could that be!" Zong Ji immediately cowered.
"Not relatives? Then why do I feel like you're especially eager to establish a blood relationship with mosquitoes?"
Meng Lan lacked enthusiasm.
Zong Ji quickly switched to another angle: "The place we're going to has an ancient bridge, almost a thousand years old, that got burned down. Isn't Axin studying cultural relics? She needs to see if the bridge, now in that condition, can still be restored. That's how you attain real knowledge through practice, which would also be helpful for job searching after graduation."
"Isn't Meng Xin Zhi going to study abroad after she graduates? How come it's about job searching now?"
"I was just saying."
The topic shifted so abruptly that Zong Ji obviously hadn't organised his language properly, he thought for a moment, then continued: "Studying abroad and the preservation of ancient architecture aren't in conflict, right? It's always beneficial to learn more, don't you think, Lan Lan Zi?"
"If you want to go, you go. I'm not going."
"Is that so..."
Zong Ji hesitated briefly but quickly made a brand new route plan: "Then how about this? I'll take Daxin and Xiaoyi, and on the way, I'll drive you back to the city so you can have a nice time shopping and get a facial tonight."
Zong Ji thought of a solution that would please everyone.
"I'm not going."
Meng Lan refused.
That was unexpected for Zong Ji.
If she was adamant, it meant the lady of the house was truly upset.
"I was wrong." Zong Ji quickly took a stance.
When everything's wrong, an apology can't be wrong.
"What did you do wrong?"
"I was wrong to think, with the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard, about going camping." Zong Ji stood up straight, ready for whatever came next.
"I never said you couldn't go." Meng Lan couldn't help but laugh.
"Oh?"
"Why don't you give Lan Lan Zi a hint, so I can look for the direction in which I erred?"
"Didn't the studio on the first floor start opening to the public today?" Meng Lan said, "We should have someone stay here to watch over it."
"Oh, Lan Lan Zi is worried about that. You needn't worry about it."
Zong Ji clarified the situation: "Now on the first floor, it's just Zong Yi's and that girl brought through her story, and in a while her friend will come to pick her up. She's a nice girl, even willing to lend us the RV to go camping."
"You mean taking that RV parked upstairs?"
"Yes."
"Can you shower in it?"
"Yes, you can."
"Can you cook in it?"
"That model, if I remember correctly, should have one large and one small induction cooker, a microwave oven, fridge, and washing machine."
"So you can, right?"
"Definitely sufficient."
"Okay." Meng Lan said: "I understand now."
"Lan Lan Zi..." Zong Ji, a bit uncertain, sought confirmation from Meng Lan: "[I understand now], what does that mean?"
"Understanding means you wait for me to pack a set of clothes, and then we can set off." Meng Lan's attitude took a sharp turn.
"Ah? Lan Lan Zi is going too?" Zong Ji couldn't help being surprised.
"What? You're not welcoming me?"
"Welcome! Of course, welcome!" Zong Ji immediately declared: "I just didn't expect the lady of the house to suddenly change her mind."
"I'm just a bumpkin who's never been in an RV, curious, that's all!" Saying this, Meng Lan excitedly added a vision: "If it turns out to be fun traveling in this kind of vehicle, when Zong Yi that girl gets to college, let's buy one too. Whenever we have time or not, we can just drive around and have fun!"
"So, Lan Lan Zi, earlier when you said you didn't want to go, it was because Axin and Ayi would be there, right?"
Zong Ji summed up the central idea of his wife's statements today.
"Otherwise, what did you think?"
Zong Ji was very happy, and the old couple, without any bashfulness, embraced each other and confidently said: "So much the better, for I have been shallow."
