The four-day trip to Bei'an involved hiking, outdoor cooking, and house-hunting.
The elders, being of a certain age, were ready to retire early in the evening.
Lin Minghao was the first to slip away back to his room.
My aunt and uncle also left together.
Fu Yu stayed behind to chat a little longer with his parents.
Mrs. Fu asked with concern, "You said you'd have a three-day holiday, but you didn't go to work today either. Will it affect your job?"
Because of the house purchase, Mr. and Mrs. Fu decided to stay an extra day, and Fu Yu had to hurriedly request another day off from Zhao Meng.
Luckily, there was a helper in the kitchen who was local, didn't have plans, and agreed to swap a day with Fu Yu.
Fu Yu smiled and explained, "No worries, I got permission from Chef Zhao, and a colleague switched shifts with me. I'll make up for it next week's day off."
Mrs. Fu breathed a sigh of relief but still felt a bit sorry: "That means you won't be able to rest next week?"
