At this moment, she clung to Gu An'an's arm, calling her "Mother" repeatedly, just like a biological mother and son.

Jiang Mingyi's hand holding the book stiffened slightly as he felt rejected. What could he do? After all, this little brat was his own brother.

Gu An'an touched the kang (heated brick bed) and found it was indeed warm.

That's good, then I won't be afraid to sleep at night.

Previously, Gu An'an had gotten two sacks of scrap fabric from Lin's Cloth Shop in the county. Later, she went there again and carried back two more sacks. A while ago, she asked Aunt Li and Tian Youming's wife to help her make quilts from these scraps.

There were two layers of cotton batting on the top and bottom, and a thick layer of scraps of cloth in the middle, all of which were sewn together.

With enough weight, the quilt will be warm.

However, with the construction of the courtyard wall and the building of the wall, plus the purchase of fabric and clothes for the children, Gu An'an's money was almost gone.

We can't just sit around and live off our savings.

"I'm going up the mountain tomorrow. Yi'er and Zhu'er, you two take good care of your younger brother and sister at home."

These words made the brother and sister both look at Gu An'an. The youngest, Bao'er, was still a little confused. She grabbed Gu An'an's sleeve with her little hand and said, "Your Highness, Bao'er is with Your Highness."

Gu An'an hugged the little girl and kissed her slightly chubby face. "It's cold up on the mountain, and it's hard for Mom to take care of you. How about you stay home with your older brother and sister and wait for Mom to come back?"

The little girl was easily fooled, and she giggled as Gu An'an kissed her. "Baby, wait for Your Majesty to come back, and we'll eat meat."

Gu An'an froze there—

Goodness, does this kid think he's hunting in the mountains?

Are there... prey on this mountain?
