At the end of the summer vacation, under Xunli's three offensives, she finally realized Seijuro's little extravagant wish - Masashi made a concession and set aside precious three days for the children to participate in parent-child camping.

This new form of tourism is very popular, usually as a family to go to the countryside to experience camping.

According to Xunli, she has signed up for their family of three, and all the money has been paid and there is no refund.Masashi had no choice but to make concessions.He knew that Xunli would become particularly strong when he encountered something about Seijuro, and the reason was sound.

Seijuro was naturally the happiest of the three, he had been chattering since the night before, and surrounded Xunli to start the "[-] whys" mode.Finally, under Xun Li's urging, he reluctantly climbed onto the bed.

To describe his mood in one word - joy.

After all, it was the first family hiking trip, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, to experience the natural scenery in a secluded and peaceful town, and enjoy a life without Wi-Fi for three days. Xunli was very satisfied with her decision.Since they don't live in a small town but bring their own tents, this opportunity can also cultivate Seijuro's ability to survive in the wild.

The activity instruction sheet specifically states that they do not need to bring food except for everyday items.Because picking fruits and wild vegetables is also part of group activities, picking vegetables and fruits in hot summer is the most suitable, and then borrow the kitchen from the residents of the town to cook dinner or choose to have a barbecue in the wild.

Early the next morning.

"Sunglasses, sunscreen, camera..." Xunli made the last inventory before leaving. "And a wrestler stand."

Putting a box of chocolate bars on the outermost layer of the mountaineering bag, she tried to weigh the bag.

The two tents occupy the largest area. Xunli bought them at an outdoor goods store the day before yesterday.She doesn't want to share a tent with her son and husband!Of course, she prefers to live in a two-person world with Seijuro, and prefers the clean Masashi to sleep in another tent.

She squinted at Masashi who rarely changed into casual clothes.Taking off the gold-rimmed glasses made the face look even younger than its actual age, and Seijuro was also wearing a polo shirt of the same color and style.In order to match the two, Xun Li also found a T-shirt and trousers of the same style, and put on a peaked cap.

Their overall feeling is more like a pair of youthful college students traveling with a young brother.

"Yoxi, it's time to go!" Xunli picked up his bag and walked towards the car energetically.Zhichuan sent them to the meeting place, where there was a special bus to take them to their destination, which took about three hours.

"Hi!" Seijuro followed behind with his small backpack on his back.

"..." Ya Shi wore sunglasses after going out, so it was hard to see his expression at the moment.

After delivering the family of three to the door of the travel agency, a bus had already parked here.Xunli looked around and found that there were families of three or four traveling with young children.She nodded and smiled at them in a friendly manner, and then took Seijuro to the bus to find a seat first.

She took the last window seat, with Seijuro next to her, and Masashi next to her.He pulled out the e-book from his travel bag and started reading.Seijuro couldn't sit still, looked out the window excitedly, or whispered something to Kaori.

The bus drove very smoothly along the way, the air-conditioning in the car was adjusted to a suitable temperature, Xunli took a nap for a while, and when he opened his eyes again, the car had already left the urban area, and the scenery on both sides became open and clear.

The camping site was in an unknown town in the inland, surrounded by mountains and dense forests... To put it bluntly, it was a place overgrown with weeds and deserted.

Xun Li was a little surprised, he didn't expect such a remote town to exist in Japan.

Three and 10 minutes later, they arrived at the camping base as expected. This small forest will be their home for the next three days.

"I'll go and set up the tent first." Among the three, only Xunli, who had gone camping as a child, had the most say.She didn't think the two young masters would pitch the tent by themselves.

"Mom, I'll help you." Seijuro said eagerly.

"Come to fight!"

The five-minute labor of the mother and son looks precarious and in danger of collapsing at any time.Seijuro's strength is not as strong as that of Xun Li's, and it is often when one end has just been put on, the other end of the pillar is stubbornly tilted.

"Mom, this tent looks like the Leaning Tower of Pisa."

"Well, it's very artistic." Xunli intentionally misinterpreted Seijuro's complaint.

Usually the technical content of setting up the tent is done by the father.Yashi raised his forehead, he really couldn't stand it anymore, he stepped forward and expressed that he would be a helper.

The speed at which Yashi set up the tent surprised Xunli, and the finished product was very solid and reliable.Seijuro applauded from the sidelines, his eyes filled with admiration.She suddenly felt powerless.

"Since you know how to pitch a tent, why didn't you come to help just now?"

"You didn't say that." Still with a poker face and a natural tone.

Xun Li rolled his eyes, turned back to tidy his backpack.The immature voice of "Daddy is amazing" sounded behind her, which made her very upset.

A group of people hastily ate some snacks to fill their stomachs, and under the leadership of the leader, they walked into the town to pick vegetables and fruits at the largest farm here.

Seijuro was sent by Xunli to find children of the same age to play with, and the children carried plastic baskets and ran to the small forest behind the farm to pick cherries.He was working with two brothers from a certain family who were traveling together to pick the bright and full fruits on the trunk. He was hesitant about whether he was short enough for the trunk, so the tall boy found a ladder.

"Thank you."

Seijuro thanked the two brothers with a fruitful basket.

"It's nothing." The tall boy said with a smile, "I'm Fujisuke, and he's my younger brother Fujiyuta."

He pointed to the short man with short hair who was about the same age as Seijuro beside him.

"Akashi Seijuro." He also announced his family name, and the three of them established a boy's friendship after smiling at each other.

On the other side, Xunli picked fruits and vegetables in the fields under the scorching sun.To say that picking fruit is a low-tech job, in Xunli's eyes, the big and brightly colored ones are good things.The basket was piled with strange-looking peppers, eggplants, potatoes, and even a huge, ripe cantaloupe.

"Too much." Masashi held his forehead again, and the other basket in his hand was quickly filled with messy common people's food that he didn't eat.

"You can take some home!" Xunli, who was very excited, ignored his expression.

"No, please solve it yourself."

He silently turned his head away, and complained in his heart that Mrs. Akashi's current behavior was as childish as a child.

**

Xun Li came back with a carton full of cherries, vegetables and red plums, and was planning to show off his skills and cook some good dishes at night.Seijuro behind him suddenly cried out in pain.

"It's so itchy..."

"Huh?" She hurriedly turned her head, Seijuro stretched out his arms, and red and swollen bumps appeared on them. "I was bitten by a mosquito... Oops, I didn't bring mosquito spray!"

Mosquitoes in the countryside are truly worthy fighters of their kind, and Xun Li has just discovered conspicuous red envelopes popping out of several places on his exposed arms and legs.Seijuro ran to ask the Fuji family, they also forgot to bring mosquito spray, obviously everyone ignored this.

Strangely, only Masashi survived the mosquito attack.Xun Li insisted on swallowing the complaint that "even mosquitoes are afraid (dislike) and afraid (abandon) Dad", and looked at him with envy and hatred.He is a natural air-conditioning machine, of course no mosquito dares to approach him.

She immediately decided to go to the town to buy mosquito spray, and borrow the kitchen of the nearby residents to prepare dinner for the three of them.Small Tail Seijuro insisted on following her around the town, and even dragged Masashi with a reluctant face.

Xun Li suppressed his smile, it seems that the child is the Achilles heel of Masashi, it is difficult for him to reject the expectant Seijuro with a cold face.

"I'm going to the supermarket to buy spray, you stay here."

She handed over the basket in her hand to the two, went to the supermarket to buy mosquito repellent spray, and added a few daily necessities to the shopping basket that she hadn't brought with her before.This is the only large supermarket in the town, and it took more than ten minutes to walk around.

When Xunli came out with the plastic bag again, he found that the two people who had been staying there had disappeared.

"This group of guys..." She gritted her teeth and recalled the nightmarish disappearance last time.Fortunately this time, even Akashi Masashi disappeared!

Xunli turned her head to look around, and saw two red heads in the rest area a few steps away. When she walked in, she saw Masashi playing a game with the old man on the opposite side, fighting on the shogi board.

"What is this for?" Xun Li walked over and touched Seijuro's hand.When he watched the battle, his expression was tense, and there was a tense and serious atmosphere around him.

"The overall situation is settled, the opponent will die if he takes another step!"

"Xiao Zheng!"

"Ah, Mom." He finally came to his senses, "Dad and this old grandpa carried it."

She shrugged, one of Masashi's specialties was proficiency in various board games, and Seijuro perfectly inherited his father's genes, and fell in love with this old man's hobby since he was a child.

As for her, the only thing she is good at is flying chess and checkers... Now she has more losses than wins against Seijuro.

"Let's go."

In a blink of an eye, Masashi had completed the challenge, ignoring the yelling of the old man behind him ("Hey! Young man, let's fight again!" he said), and walked straight to their side.

"Oh." Xun Li looked away.

The warm light at dusk shone on his face, softening the cold and stiff facial lines.Even the tone of his speech is different from the past, and it is no longer the usual flat tone.

Maybe it was just an illusion she had for a moment.

Xunli borrowed the kitchen from the hospitable residents of the town, and used the existing ingredients to fry two dishes that she loved to eat at the restaurant when she was a child. The owner of the kitchen insisted on keeping them for dinner, so there were more side dishes Nigiri sushi, yudofu and miso soup.

"What is this? It's so spicy." Seijuro has always had a mild taste, but he prefers tofu in soup, and almost wiped out half of the plate.

"That's spicy fish-flavored eggplant."

"I thought mom would prefer western food..."

Xun Li smiled and shook his head.Although I grew up in North America, people there generally love to eat Chinese food, and there are many restaurants in the city.Washoku is a bit bland for her.

"And this, stewing potatoes, beans and ribs together is not the way to eat here." She pointed to the plate of meaty dishes, and the aroma filled the whole room. "There is a family next to my house. Every time they cook, I will sneak over to grab a meal."

These dishes unexpectedly fit Masashi's appetite, or maybe he was just hungry and couldn't be too picky about home-cooked dishes.

After eating and drinking, Xunli once again thanked the residents who lent her the kitchen and kept them for dinner, and the family of three walked slowly towards the camping site.

Seijuro looked up at the starry sky, the dark sky was dotted with diamond-like stars, which can only be seen in the countryside.He pointed and muttered to himself, "The one in orange is Scorpio, and the one on the right is Libra..."

"The one over there is Yan Xing (Aquila)!" Not to be outdone, Xun Li searched for the common constellations in the summer starry sky. "Look, it can form a summer triangle with the main stars of Lyra and Cygnus. It is a landscape that can only be seen in summer~"

The two stopped and began to share celestial knowledge on this secluded path suitable for closing the stars.Masashi did not interrupt or drive them back to the tent, leaning against the tree trunk and listening to their conversation quietly.The mood is unprecedented calm.

He can't remember the last time he went out with his family.His parents are incompetent than himself, and they have left him to travel around the world since he was a child, busy with work.Yashi doesn't think his family has any special value for him, except that they have the responsibility to make money to support him, and he must pay the corresponding return when he grows up.

……

But since Xunli, who had experienced amnesia once, really walked into his and Seijuro's world, his perception of "family" has gradually changed.

Maybe the family is worth relying on, and can even bring happiness and laughter.

"Speaking of which, do you know the legends of constellations? For example, the famous Cowherd and Vega and the Qixi Bridge..."

"Mom, please tell me!"

Masashi glanced at them, and suddenly found that life without wifi and books was extremely boring, but the two of them always had endless topics to talk about no matter where they were.

"Tsk, what a dry tongue." The corners of his mouth curled up when he made this comment.
