Chapter 69: Official Departure
Ji Chengyun sighed slightly, helped Ji Yunqi sit by the bedside, and looked at her loli dad with complicated eyes.
She knew very well that her dad had lived for decades and had a somewhat traditional way of thinking. He always felt that the pillar of a family should be him as the husband and father.
Therefore, he took on all the responsibilities and did not let his wife and children participate in many matters.
This approach had made her dad live a very tiring life all these years.
However, decades of thinking were not so easily changed.
If she were to directly tell her dad now that he didn’t need to worry about anything from now on and could peacefully be a little useless, he probably wouldn’t accept it, so Ji Chengyun was currently brewing her thoughts.
She had to force her dad to do this with a tough attitude, otherwise, this matter might not be resolved for a long time.
“Dad, this is the unanimous decision between Mom and me. From now on, you don’t need to worry about many family matters. Mom and I will mainly handle them.”
The serious expression on Ji Chengyun’s face was not fake, which stopped Ji Yunqi from questioning her.
For some reason, Ji Yunqi felt a subconscious fear of her son now, which had never happened before. What was going on?
However, even so, the obsession deep in Ji Yunqi’s heart was not so easily changed. Decades of habits could not be changed just like that. Who could do it?
“Why? It’s been decades, why so suddenly?”
Ye Mingkong hugged Ji Yunqi into her arms: “Look, you don’t even have the strength to resist me now, how can you manage this family well?”
“Since you’ve become a girl, you should learn to be a girl, a pampered favorite who is protected and cherished.”
Ji Yunqi’s pupils tightened. Did his wife’s words mean he should be a complete waste from now on?
How could this be?
She was still thinking of taking advantage of being young to strive for a few more years, so that she could give her wife and son a better life.
But now, his wife and son actually wanted him to just eat and wait for death?
No!
Thinking of this, Ji Yunqi looked up at Ye Mingkong with a rather resentful expression, but in the end, she said nothing, because she knew the circumstances…
Even though she didn’t agree with what her wife and son had said, there was one thing they were not wrong about, and that was that she was indeed just a young girl now.
Both of them were now grown men. Even if she wanted to do something, she was helpless and could only proceed gradually…
“Let’s just let this matter go this time. Let me do things in the future.”
Seeing that Ji Yunqi was still like this, Ye Mingkong and Ji Chengyun exchanged glances, seeing the helplessness in each other’s eyes.
Other traditional-minded people wished to train their children early so that they could enjoy their old age, but why was it not working with Ji Yunqi?
She was clearly also a traditional person, but why did she only think of nurturing her son and not of enjoying her old age with her son?
Even as a young girl, she still thought of working hard herself to support her two grown men.
………..
“Alright, alright, let’s end this topic. Aren’t we going up the mountain tomorrow? Let’s rest a bit as a family, then go eat and then rest.”
Ji Chengyun understood that her dad’s problem could not be solved immediately, so she had to forcibly interrupt the current progress.
Anyway, her dad was a loli now. As long as she and her mom forcefully controlled her and didn’t let her overwork, she would get used to it over time.
Ye Mingkong’s thoughts also coincided with Ji Chengyun’s. She felt that she couldn’t understand her husband.
He had become a little girl, so he should just be a pampered wife, and he still wanted to regain his authority?
Dream on!
………..
The next morning…
As dawn broke, both families had their belongings packed and were ready to set off. There were quite a few people who had come here this time.
When the two families arrived yesterday, the parking spaces were quite vacant, but now that they were preparing to set off, they found that all sorts of vehicles were parked there.
Undoubtedly, not long after they arrived last night, many other tourists had arrived.
Before setting off, Zhang Xinrou wanted to run over and sit in the same car as Ji Chengyun, but she was strongly opposed by Ji Yunqi and Ye Mingkong.
What a joke!
Although they liked this future daughter-in-law very much, if they really let that girl get into the car, wouldn’t they have to go to Luo Yao’s car then?!!
At that time, with only the three of them in the car, they didn’t even dare to imagine how awkward the scene would be…
……….
The morning scenery was beautiful, and several cars almost set off together.
Besides the two families, there seemed to be other accompanying travelers. For such a situation, I believe that every self-driving enthusiast would not refuse.
Especially for a mountain climbing trip like this, having companions would also provide an extra layer of safety.
The vehicles gradually moved towards the summit, but the day’s journey would not be limited to just rushing on the road, as various parts of the snow mountain had their unique scenery.
For example, the current area was still at the foot of the mountain, but compared to the hotel’s location at the beginning, it had already started to climb gradually.
The snow on the ground was also increasing…
“Husband, how long has it been since we saw snow?” Ye Mingkong asked as she gazed at the snow scenery along the way.
“It’s been almost ten years…”
In the past ten years, life had become increasingly tight, and Ji Yunqi rarely had time to take the family out for a trip. Even if there was an opportunity, they couldn’t travel too far.
Rongcheng is located in the south, and unless they went to high-altitude areas like the western Sichuan Plateau, it was difficult to see snow.
At least in the past ten years, it had hardly snowed in Rongcheng. Even if it did, it was just fleeting, melting before it even landed.
Such snow could not accumulate at all, so it was no different from not having any.
The only time they traveled further in the past ten years was the year their son just finished his college entrance examination.
However, on that occasion, his wife did not accompany them, the father and son, because of other matters, so it was just him and his son.
But even after their son graduated from high school and they went on a graduation trip, they had to travel farther, and because that year was exceptionally hot, most of western Sichuan also had no snow.
So, in a four-舍five-入 calculation, Ji Yunqi’s family really hadn’t seen snow in ten years.
This is very typical of southerners…
“Husband, look quickly, what is that ahead?!”
………..
