Me at two years old, a queen!

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the alleyway was bustling with activity in the morning. Every household was tacitly cleaning up the firecracker debris in front of their doors. Since the first day of the Lunar New Year is considered auspicious for accumulating wealth, the scattered red debris that had accumulated in the two days leading up to the New Year was slowly and carefully cleaned up early in the morning.

Shortly afterward, the occasional sound of firecrackers could be heard, the sound of married daughters returning to their parents' home.

Junmin had previously felt awkward in the Qin family, and since Lu's parents weren't her biological parents, she hadn't returned to her parents' home after the New Year for over five years.

At that moment, she looked at the vibrant atmosphere in the small town. Her parents stood expectantly at the door to welcome their daughter and her family, embracing and chatting happily. Then, they lit a string of firecrackers at the door, and the family joyfully distributed candy and nuts to their neighbors.

She suddenly wondered if her parents were still alive, would she also be walking home arm in arm with her husband and son like them? Thinking of that man, she thought that even if there were a "what if," perhaps such a day would never come.

They went inside to check on the two children. An'an, dressed in a festive red jacket and skirt, was sitting under a tree playing with the greedy boy, digging a hole. They weren't too comfortable letting the children play outside today.

After all, they were from out of town and didn't know much about local customs, especially since the locals had come specifically to greet them, just in case something went wrong.

But since the family had finally had the chance to be together, they decided to go to a nearby farm.

Ms. Song glanced at the glaring red on An'an's clothes, but ultimately decided it wasn't appropriate. She went inside and found her a white crew-neck sweatshirt and jeans, then put a khaki jacket on her before the family left.

Lu Jing, along with the old man and Ms. Song Yuan, rode in one car, while Lu Junxing, Zhao Jingtang, and Lu Junmin, with their two children, rode in another. Fortunately, they all brought off-road vehicles, capable of handling any kind of road.

Aunt Liu and Uncle Liu went out to buy some local specialties. Yes, they've been out for five days already, and in a couple of days they'll have to return to Haicheng to continue their busy lives. They'll also go back in advance to arrange things at the old house.

The car carried an elderly person nearing 80, two children, and a newborn puppy. Their journey took over an hour, with frequent stops along the way.

Especially with Lu Jing, who loves taking photos with the kids, An An was happy to cooperate, holding the gluttonous little one and posing everywhere, while the old man was keen on taking family photos.

Zhao Jingtang was also willing, and became increasingly adept at using the camera, occasionally joining the family for photoshoots.

Do you need to pee?

"Dad, how could you ask a girl such a question?"

"You brat, how dare you ask our young lady such a presumptuous question?"

"Exactly! Dad, you're so ungentlemanly!"

"If she wets herself, you'll have to wash her pants!"

Lu Junxing glanced at Lu Jing with an inscrutable expression, then walked towards the car in front without looking up.

"Sweetie~, tell Grandpa if you need to go to the toilet, otherwise we won't have anywhere to stop later~"

Lu Jing honestly asked his granddaughter, who was picking wildflowers, but she shook her head. He then asked Qin Yanzhou, and the group continued their journey, this time with Zhao Jingtang driving.

The journey took almost three hours. Lu Junxing was getting impatient with their way of traveling. Uncle Liu and his group didn't come; Qin Feng, along with a group of bodyguards, secretly protected them.

He didn't have many people with him, and even though he had rested for several days during the Chinese New Year holiday, he still needed to keep an eye on the chattering troublemakers in the car from time to time. After parking the car, he picked up his ear, took his luggage, and went to check in.

Lu Jing carried the luggage, Ms. Song Yuan helped the old man move his arms and legs, and Jun Min took care of Qin Yanzhou, who was prone to motion sickness on mountain roads.

An'an's little feet were almost twisted into pretzels, so she had no choice but to seek help from Zhao Jingtang, who was injured.

Before everyone could react, they saw a tall man in a black trench coat, his face contorted in pain, carrying a doll as he ran towards the restroom.

"Oh dear, did my sweetheart pee on himself?"

Lu Junxing, who came over with the room key, turned ashen-faced upon hearing this: "You didn't take her to the restroom just now?"

She shook her head!

"Shaking your head means you don't need to pee, right?"

Lu Jing was puzzled and felt guilty, so he found a new pair of pants and had someone deliver them. In the end, Jun Min went to help. Luckily, there was a family restroom nearby.

When they finished, Zhao Jingtang and Lu Junxing both came out with dark faces. The man looked at the troublesome girl carrying the sealed bag and patted her head impatiently.

"Go! Tell your grandpa to wash your pants clean, or you'll be going out naked tomorrow!"

An'an was so frightened that she forgot all her initial embarrassment and ran towards Lu Jing. She had already embarrassed herself enough today, and she didn't want to embarrass herself any further.

After the group finished packing, they went to a pavilion to eat. The pavilion was surrounded by a pond where Chinese sturgeon were raised, and they could even order one to eat fresh.

There were also many green vegetables growing not far away, truly natural and organic, but An'an wasn't interested in any of them.

She was more interested in the roosters and rabbits she saw on the road, touching them here and tugging at them there. In the end, Lu Junxing couldn't stand it anymore and, after walking and stopping for a while, he picked her up and carried her away.

After eating a few bites, her brother, who was carsick, fell asleep in the room, so she picked up the gluttonous dog and prepared to feed it.

Seeing her rough handling, Zhao Jingtang sighed that being a dog wasn't easy. Seeing the dog about to roll its eyes, she quickly reminded it, "Has this dog been vaccinated?"

"If we hold the child all the time, they'll become disrespectful. What if they get arrested one day..."

The group rushed forward to hug the baby, and the gluttonous child was thus taken away to get vaccinated.
