It's not too late to meet in the book

On a summer afternoon, sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Lei Xiaoyue's living room, casting a warm, soft glow across the spotless floor. Inside, Wang Jing and Su Xiaoxiao sat on a plush sofa, an unfolded map clearly marking the location of Songshan Mountain and surrounding attractions. Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan sat on the sofa opposite, their eyes fixed on the map, their faces filled with anticipation and curiosity.

"Children, Aunt Xiaoxiao and I plan to take you to Songshan for a trip this holiday." Wang Jing's voice was gentle and full of anticipation. She looked up at the two children, her eyes flashing with excitement.

When Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan heard this, they jumped up from the sofa almost at the same time and shouted excitedly: "Really? That's great!" Their faces were filled with the innocence and joy unique to children, as if the whole world became bright at this moment.

However, this joy did not last long. Lin Yuxuan suddenly thought of something, frowned slightly, and asked worriedly, "But, Mom, what about our homework during the holiday? Also, the final exam is coming soon. Will this delay our review?"

Lei Xiaoyue also nodded and agreed: "Yes, I am worried about this too."

Wang Jing and Su Xiaoxiao smiled at each other, as if they had anticipated the children's concerns. Su Xiaoxiao patted Lei Xiaoyue's shoulder and gently comforted her, "Don't worry, children. We've taken all of this into consideration. We'll arrange study time in advance to ensure you can enjoy the trip without neglecting your studies."

Wang Jing also added: "Yes, and proper relaxation and outdoor activities can actually help you better adjust your state and prepare for the final exams."

Hearing this, Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan's concerns were finally dispelled, and their faces once again bloomed with bright smiles. They began to excitedly discuss the scenery, food, and possible interesting things they might encounter in Songshan, and the living room was filled with the children's laughter.

Meanwhile, Wang Jing and Su Xiaoxiao were busy on the side. They took out pen and paper and began to make a list of supplies for the trip. Wang Jing said as she wrote, "Let's make a list and see what we need to prepare."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement. She picked up the map and carefully studied the route and climate of Songshan. Then she added, "Well, in addition to basic clothing and daily necessities, we also need to prepare some hiking tools, such as hiking poles, non-slip shoes, and a first aid kit."

Wang Jing nodded as she took notes. Suddenly, she stopped writing and frowned. "Oh, I suddenly remembered that the tent we used last time camping seemed to be damaged. I need to check it out quickly."

As she spoke, Wang Jing stood up and walked towards the storage room. After a while, she came out with a slightly worn tent in her hand. After a careful inspection, she found several damaged places.

"It seems that this tent is unusable. We have to buy a new one quickly." Wang Jing said helplessly.

Su Xiaoxiao also frowned. She glanced at the list and found that some of the climbing tools were not fully prepared. "Also, these climbing tools are not enough. We need to buy some more."

Hearing this, Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan also stopped discussing. They gathered around and looked at the list and tents with concerned expressions on their faces.

"Mom, Aunt Xiaoxiao, why don't we help with the preparations?" Lei Xiaoyue suggested.

Lin Yuxuan also nodded and agreed: "Yes, we can help."

Wang Jing and Su Xiaoxiao felt a surge of warmth as they watched the children's earnest expressions. They knew this trip wasn't just a simple outing; it was an opportunity to strengthen parent-child relationships and cultivate the children's sense of responsibility and independence.

"Okay, then let's get ready together." Wang Jing said with a smile. She picked up her mobile phone and began searching for suitable tents and mountaineering tools online.

Su Xiaoxiao was in charge of contacting the travel agency to inquire about the weather and road conditions in Songshan to ensure a safe and smooth trip. Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan were also busy. They picked up pens and paper and began to write down the items they thought they might need, such as sunscreen, rain gear, and water bottles.

In the living room, four figures bustled about busily and orderly, a warm and fulfilling atmosphere permeating the air. Wang Jing and Su Xiaoxiao occasionally instructed the children on how to choose the right items and manage their time and budget. Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan listened attentively, occasionally offering their own thoughts and suggestions.

Time slipped by in the busyness, and before the blink of an eye, it was already dark. Wang Jing looked up at the clock on the wall and said with a smile, "Okay, kids, that's all for today. We'll continue preparing tomorrow."

"Mom, Aunt Xiaoxiao, what do you think the scenery of Songshan will be like?" Lei Xiaoyue asked curiously as they walked.

"Yeah, I'm curious too." Lin Yuxuan agreed.

Wang Jing and Su Xiaoxiao listened to the children's words with anticipation and joy in their hearts. They knew that this trip to Songshan would become an unforgettable and beautiful memory in their hearts.

"We'll know when we get there." Wang Jing said with a smile, her eyes flashing with anticipation and longing for the unknown.

"Yes, it will definitely be exciting." Su Xiaoxiao also agreed, her heart was also full of anticipation and yearning for this trip.
