As the family enjoyed their meal, they engaged in a discussion regarding the feasibility of implementing a delivery service. They acknowledged that it would entail additional costs in terms of manpower and transportation, such as acquiring a suitable vehicle for the delivery personnel.

Despite initial concerns, Wen Nian’s strong persuasion ultimately convinced the Wen couple to move forward with launching both the takeaway service and the braised food shop. They were now determined to take this new venture on. Additionally, they collectively decided to set the starting price for their offerings at 30 yuan.

Wen Nian also devised a marketing plan for the new shop. Regardless of whether she could secure a shop for filming purposes, she intended to create a tranquil filming environment there. This way, she could showcase the process and atmosphere of running the braised food shop effectively.

After dinner, Wen Nian and Wen Xing started packing their belongings. Upon hearing that they could prepare simple meals in the hotel, Zhou Mei decided to bring along some small appliances and kitchen utensils. She carefully packed them and tucked them into her luggage.

Concerned about Wen Xing and Wen Nian not being accustomed to the local cuisine in the capital, Zhou Mei thoughtfully packed some braised meat, cured meat, and specialties from Hai City. This way, they would have familiar and beloved flavors from their hometown while staying in the capital.

Initially, Wen Nian had intended to pack a single suitcase each. However, once Zhou Mei finished packing, they ended up with a total of five suitcases between the two of them. The additional luggage was likely due to the inclusion of various items and provisions they deemed necessary for their trip.

With all preparations complete, the father and daughter retired to bed early. They had an early morning ahead, as their flight was scheduled for 10 a.m. the next day. To ensure they had enough time, they set their alarm for 7 a.m., considering the hour-long drive from the city to the airport.

On the day of their departure, the father and daughter declined the offer from Zhou Mei and Wen Yu to accompany them to the airport. Instead, they decided to hail a taxi and make their way directly to the airport without any further delay.

Being their first time traveling by plane, Wen Nian and Wen Xing felt a sense of bewilderment as they entered the airport lobby. Unsure of where to go first, they were about to approach someone to seek guidance and inquire about the necessary procedures.

“Wen Nian, Uncle Wen.”

When Wen Nian heard her name, she turned around and saw Shen Jun. She was pleasantly surprised. Finally, someone who knew the ropes led the way. “When did you arrive?”

Shen Jun replied, “1 just arrived too. Let’s go get our boarding passes and check in first.”

Shen Jun saw that Wen Xing was pushing three suitcases in his hands. He took a step forward and took one. “Uncle, let me take one.”

Wen Xing nodded obediently. He looked at Shen Jun, who had suddenly appeared. While he was still puzzled, a suitcase was missing from his hand.

Shen Jun only took one piece of luggage, so Wen Nian didn’t stand on ceremony with him. “Sorry to trouble you. My mother insisted on bringing some useless things. That’s why we are bringing so many suitcases.”

Shen Jun smiled and replied, “It’s fine. Auntie is probably worried that you might forget something important. You know how it is—when you’re at home for a long time, even a day out can feel challenging. Luckily, we have enough help, so we won’t have any issues.”

Shen Jun skillfully guided the two of them to join the queue. With Shen Jun by his side, Wen Nian only had to bring Wen Xing along and follow his lead. They entered the waiting room and patiently waited for 30 minutes before their boarding time.

They had purchased three adjacent seats. Wen Nian occupied the middle seat, which made it challenging for Wen Xing to inquire about Shen Jun.

An hour and a half later, they arrived at the capital. They waited at the baggage claim area to pick up their luggage.

When Wen Xing stood at the front, he noticed his luggage on the conveyor belt. Determined not to turn back once he had turned around, he hastily extended his hand and bent down to grab it. Unfortunately, in his haste, he inadvertently sprained his waist.

Wen Nian was startled and rushed to support him. “Dad, are you okay?”

Wen Xing winced in pain, clutching his waist as he gestured towards the vanished luggage. “Wen Nian, quickly retrieve your luggage.”

Witnessing the situation, Shen Jun hastily intervened, offering an explanation. “Uncle, please don’t worry. The conveyor belt will loop around again. Let me assist you in finding a place to sit down for a moment.”

Wen Xing was relieved when he heard this. If his wife found out that he had lost his luggage, she would scold him.

In the midst of the freezing cold midwinter, Wen Xing’s muscles had become stiff. Despite this, he suddenly attempted to lift the luggage, which weighed around 30 to 40 kilograms. The strain on his waist muscles was so intense that it rendered him unable to even take a step forward.

Fortunately, Shen Jun did not train his eight-pack for nothing. Though he appeared slender, his muscles and strength were well-developed. Shen Jun carefully lifted Wen Xing and settled him onto a nearby chair. “This seems quite serious. I believe we should go to the hospital for a checkup.”

Despite the evident pain, Wen Xing waved his hand, trying to avoid any unnecessary expenses. “There’s no need to go through all the trouble. We can simply go to the pharmacy later and purchase some medicinal wine to rub on it.”

Concerned for Wen Xing’s well-being, Wen Nian expressed her helplessness. “Please don’t be stubborn. The pain seems severe, and it’s important for the doctor to examine it with an X-ray. Please sit down for now. Shen Jun and I will retrieve our luggage first.”

Shen Jun stopped Wen Nian. “1 can do it alone. You can accompany Uncle.”

Wen Nian refused Shen Jun’s suggestion persistently, realizing the burden it would place on him to carry all their luggage alone. “If we add your luggage as well, it will be six suitcases, it would be too much for you to handle alone. 1 will go with you!”

Wen Xing, still clutching his waist and unable to move, made sure to remind them, “Be careful, both of you. There are two luggages that are particularly heavy..”
