This time, the Luo's elderly couple and the entire second branch of the family arrived, along with the Lu family's father and two sons. Due to work, Kong Xiangrui was unable to join, hence only women and children were present.
Luo Qiao also called her master and his wife, but unfortunately, they said their eldest grandson and his partner didn't get time off for the National Day holiday. Just yesterday, they had sent their child over, who's been feverish ever since. As a result, they were unable to leave the house and had to pass on the outing.
Early the next morning, two buses started picking up passengers. By 8:30, both buses had converged and set off for Beidaihe.
The children's laughter and singing filled the journey, and by midday, they finally arrived at their accommodation.
Upon arrival, a local tour guide greeted them enthusiastically. Luo Xuyuan introduced him to everyone, mentioning that this Guide Zhang would be leading the group for the next three days.
