Travel

The first day of the May Day holiday in 2029.

Waaaaah.

The second-generation Fuxing bullet train sped away from the capital station and arrived in Baoding in the blink of an eye.

"Daddy, Daddy, where are we going?"

This was Shen Nuo Fei's first time riding a high-speed train, and the little girl was very excited. She looked out the window curiously, showing no interest in the naked-eye VR entertainment facilities in the first-class carriage.

Shen Qi patted his daughter's head. "Let's go to Qiannan."

"So this is Qiannan." Nofi tilted her head, looking as if she had just realized how it was.

Shen Qi was about to give Nofi a lesson on Chinese geography when his daughter didn't ask any questions about where Qiannan was located or what fun things there were to do.

After a while, Shen Nuo Fei finally asked, "Why didn't Mom come?"

"Mom has something to do and can't come."

Nofie asked in confusion, "Are you two divorced?"

Puff!

Shen Qi was drinking water when he choked.

Nofi will be 3 years old in three months. Is the issue of divorce something a child her age should be concerned about?

Shen Qi was both amused and exasperated. He said that his daughter, Nuofei, was indeed exceptionally intelligent, and she had learned many words that were not in the kindergarten textbooks.

Without delving into where Nofi learned the word "divorce," Shen Qi didn't explain its specific meaning. He simply said, "Dad loves Mom very much, and loves Nofi very much. Mom loves us just as much. Mom has some very important things to take care of these few days, so only Dad is taking Nofi on this trip."

Nofie nodded. "Oh, okay."

After a brief stop at HD station, the train entered northern Henan province, Shen Nuo Fei launched into a barrage of questions.

"Daddy, Daddy, why do we want to go to Qiannan to see the stars?"

"Because the capital is a super developed city, it's brightly lit at night, and the air quality is relatively poor, so you can't see the stars. In Kedu Town, far from the big cities, there's a giant eye in the green mountains and clear waters of Kedu Town, where you can see many, many stars. That's our travel destination."

"Then let Kedu Town be the capital."

"Young Shen Nuo Fei, your proposal to relocate the capital is very constructive. I will report this information to my superiors after returning to Beijing."

Shen Qi burst into laughter; little Shen Nuo Fei's thought process was quite unique.

The father and daughter chatted and laughed. Shen Qi learned from Nuofei that one of her classmates' parents had divorced. That classmate lived with her father, while her mother went to a very, very far place and might never be seen again.

As the train reached the border between Henan and Hubei provinces, Shen Qi and Ou Ye connected via video call to allay Nofi's concerns.

In the video, Ou Ye is in her old family home. She says, "Nofi, be good, listen to your dad. Mom is waiting for you at home."

Nofi asked, "Mommy, Mommy, where are you?"

Ou Ye: "Mom is at Grandmother's house. Grandmother has something very important to tell Mom."

Nofie: "What's so important?"

Ou Ye: "Oh dear, Grandmother's calling Mom for dinner. Daddy will explain to Nuofei, bye-bye Nuofei, give me a kiss, mwah~"

Nofie pouted. "Bye-bye, Mommy, mwah~"

After ending the video call, Shen Qi said to Nuofei, "Your Grandmother is a wealthy woman, and she wants to pass on her vast fortune to your Mom. This is a very important matter, which is why your mother isn't traveling with us. Do you understand, Nuofei?"

Nofi thought for a moment and asked, "What is family property?"

Shen Qi: "Money, houses, cars, company shares... money or anything of great value is family property."

"Oh." Clever Nophie understood, and then asked, "Does Daddy have any inheritance?"

"Dad has it too. All of Mom and Dad's assets will be yours, Nophie."

"Oh." Nofi fell into deep thought; such a massive amount of information would take time to comprehend.

As the train entered Guizhou Province, Shen Qi shared a wealth of knowledge with Nofi, covering topics such as astronomy, geography, the ecological environment, local customs, and various aspects of society.

Shen Qi to pass on all his knowledge and experience to Nofi; this is a long-term parent-child education plan.

Nofi's intelligence is relative to other children her age; after all, she is not even 3 years old, and she cannot understand overly complex or profound knowledge.

Shen Qi patiently imparted various kinds of knowledge to Nofi using language that Nofi could understand, combined with what he had seen and heard on the journey.

Shen Qi learned that most of the children in Nofi's class went on trips with their parents during this holiday, visiting various destinations such as famous mountains and scenic spots, beaches and grasslands, circus performances, and cartoon carnivals.

Shen Qi chose Guizhou Province as his family travel destination. The seven-day travel plan was already made, with the highlight being a trip to the town where China Sky FAST is located.

The train arrived at Guiyang Station, Shen Qi and his daughter got off.

"Nofi, we've arrived. This is Guiyang, the Provincial Capital of Guizhou Province. The Provincial Capital is the most important city in a province and the command center for the entire province. We'll stay in Guiyang tonight and go to Kedu Town to see the stars tomorrow." Shen Qi, carrying his luggage, held Nofi's little hand and walked towards the exit of the station.

"Dad, Dad, is the Provincial Capital bigger or the capital city bigger?"

"In terms of area, the capital is definitely bigger. In terms of administrative power, the capital is also bigger. Administrative power refers to the power to manage things. For example, in your kindergarten, the person with the most power is the principal, and then your homeroom teacher."

"Therefore, Kedu Town is the largest." In Shen Nuo Fei's young mind Kedu Town rose to the highest level.

"We'll find out how big Kedu Town is when we get there." There are some things that Shen Qi can't explain either, but in any case, Nofi learned a lot of Chinese place names today, and her knowledge is constantly expanding.

Suddenly, Nofi stopped and shook her father's hand. "Daddy, Daddy, I need to pee."

"Okay." Shen Qi led Nofi to the restroom door inside the gate.

The women's guard is on the left, and the men's guard is on the right, clearly distinguished by red and blue.

This is where the problem arises: Shen Qi is male, and Nofi is female.

This is not an issue on trains, because train restrooms are not separated by gender.

Shen Qi paused for a moment at the restroom door before activating Emergency Plan Number One. He then led Nofi into the men's restroom.

A new world opened up to Nofi, but Nofi quickly realized something was wrong. "Daddy, Daddy, there are only men in here!"

"The customers in the men's restroom are all men, of course." Shen Qi calmly opened the door to a stall, led Nofi into the stall, and closed the door.

Many elderly parents have told their children, "I raised you with so much care and hardship, I don't ask you to be rich or powerful, I just hope you'll come home to visit during the New Year and other holidays..."

The saying "a handful of shit and a handful of piss" is a bit crude, but the principle is sound. Shen Qi personally guided Nofi to urinate in the men's restroom according to the standard procedure.

"Daddy, Daddy, I can't pee!" Nofi's face turned red; the new environment made her uncomfortable.

"You little rascal, you're so clever for your age." Shen Qi whistled. He also realized that the best option for a family trip is for the whole family to be together, with parents and children spending happy time together. As a second-best option, the father can take the son and the mother can take the daughter, which can also avoid some special problems.

Special circumstances require special handling. Thanks to Shen Qi's efforts, Nofi finally managed to urinate.

In short, Nofi felt ashamed, and after leaving Guiyang Station, Nofi became even closer to Shen Qi.

People who have done shameful things together might have double the intimacy level.

Thank you to leader sofia Ruobing for the reward! I know other leaders start by updating five chapters, but I really haven't saved the manuscript. I can only promise to update as many chapters as possible to thank all book friends for their support. Thank you again leader sofia Ruobing!
