When Jiang Ran finished washing up and went out to hang the washed clothes in the West Cross Courtyard, breakfast was also ready.

The benefit of having a large courtyard is evident at times like this.

The West Cross Courtyard is currently idle, so anything that needs drying can be placed there.

This way, it doesn’t block walkways, affect the view, or cause any embarrassment.

After breakfast, Jiang Ran asked Pei Huai, "Are you busy today?"

Pei Huai shook his head, "No rush for that, I’ll go in a couple of days. Since we’ve already bought the stuff, we should go back."

In other words, there’s no hurry to buy it now.

Understanding Pei Huai’s meaning, Jiang Ran also started smiling.

Pei Huai was not someone who acted rashly, so his decision meant he had his own plan.

Jiang Ran nodded, "Since you’re not going shopping today, let’s go out for a stroll together. Little Jing doesn’t have school today, so we can take him out to play."

Upon hearing this, Pei Huai didn’t react much, but Pei Jing was already standing up excitedly, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Jiang Ran, "Mom, are you really taking me out to play?"

Jiang Ran nodded, "Of course!"

In matters like this, Jiang Ran never spoke recklessly, nor did she let the child hope only to be disappointed.

Pei Huai obviously had no objections to Jiang Ran’s decision, and immediately agreed, "Sure, let’s all go together." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

They had just finished their meal, and everyone was sitting around the dining table.

Hearing their conversation, Pei Yang and Pei Shanshan looked on eagerly.

Yes, the two of them had said nothing, but their eyes clearly showed they wanted to go too, though they were too shy to ask.

Their demeanor made Jiang Ran find it very amusing.

"Why are you looking at us like this? You’re coming along too, of course."

When Jiang Ran said they could join, Pei Yang and Pei Shanshan immediately smiled, quickly standing up to tidy the dishes.

Jiang Ran then turned to Wang Cuilan and Pei Baoshan, "Mom, Dad, come with us."

Pei Baoshan and Wang Cuilan exchanged a glance, "Maybe we shouldn’t go, after all, the mosquito repellent still..."

Before they could finish, Jiang Ran interrupted them.

"Money is something you can never earn enough of, so we can’t just work endlessly. We need some time for our own lives, don’t you think? Besides, we don’t go out every day, this is a special occasion, right?"

Jiang Ran’s words were so reasonable that even if Wang Cuilan wanted to argue, she couldn’t find a reason to. She simply nodded.

"We’ll do as you say, let’s all go."

The family discussed and agreed, everyone tidied up, and they were ready to head out.

They didn’t plan to visit any famous spots, instead deciding to find a park or a zoo for a stroll.

These are places kids particularly enjoy.

Chen Bing had left yesterday afternoon and didn’t come today, so naturally, they had no car to use.

But that was fine, they could take the bus.

They had been in beishi for some time now, and not just Jiang Ran, but even Wang Cuilan and Pei Baoshan could take the bus on their own without fear of getting lost.

It just goes to show how strong human adaptability is.

When forced to adapt, people do so quickly.

No matter where they go or what kind of life they live, there’s no need to worry, as the body often reacts faster than the mind.

Sitting on the bus, it didn’t move very fast, but quite steadily.
