After finishing the spring planting, the three Guo brothers completed planting all the crops on their family's private plots, bringing their busy life to a temporary end. The young couple then prepared to go up the mountain.

After telling her mother-in-law, she went up the mountain to look for wild vegetables. She found that many people were on the mountain now. Widow Liu's husband had passed away from illness a few years ago.

She and her two sons were left behind. When they saw Tingting, they said, "Third son, you've come up the mountain to pick wild vegetables too?"

"Yes, it's still a long way from the autumn harvest and grain distribution. We don't have enough food at home, so we're here to find some wild vegetables. There are a lot of people in our family."

"That's for sure. We don't know when things will get better. Seeing so many people outside the mountain, Tingting and Guo Jianjun walked into the mountain."

After walking for a long time and finding no one around, she went to look for wild vegetables. She recognized dandelion, bracken, toon shoots, purslane, and other familiar vegetables.

I dare not pick any other wild vegetables that I don't know about, as some of them are poisonous.

After the two finished picking the wild vegetables, they put them all into their spatial storage. It was because of this treasure that they dared to go into the mountains, since they could return directly to their spatial storage if they encountered any danger.

The two were very excited to see the trees full of food. Tingting picked them up from the ground while Jianjun kept shaking the trees. They picked all the wild fruits from the two trees and then sat down on the ground, exhausted.

Tingting took out a Coke from her spatial storage, and the two of them drank it all in one go. Then they took out some skewers that they had packed before, and the two of them ate very contentedly, breathing in the fresh air and feeling very comfortable.

After finishing their meal, the two continued walking inside. There were many wild fruit trees, which excited them greatly. There were wild pears, red berries, wild grapes, jujubes, wild strawberries, and chestnuts. The two were incredibly excited.

"Honey, can we finish picking them before dark?"

"I'll try my best. After all, it's getting dark, and it's too dangerous in these mountains. Even though there's space, I'm worried I might not be able to see clearly and get hurt."

Tingting nodded and began picking with great enthusiasm.

As the sun set, the two began preparing to head home, filling their baskets with goods, planning to return the next day.

The two carried two baskets on their backs and each held two crates in their hands, avoiding the crowd as they walked home.

When Old Man Guo saw the two men carrying so many things, he went over and saw that there were quite a few wild vegetables. He grinned so hard that his teeth were showing.

"Where did you gather so many wild vegetables? If you dry them, it will be enough for our family to eat for quite a while. Is there any more available there?"

“Dad, Mom, Tingting and I saw too many people picking vegetables today, so we went to a secluded place and found these things. There were even wild fruits among them. We’ll treat the kids to something nice, and we’ll go look for more tomorrow.”

"Alright, tomorrow your dad and your brother will go weeding, and you guys can go up the mountain and see if there's anything left. This is all our food."

Jianjun nodded, "I understand, Mother."

After washing up in the room, the two lay on the kang (a heated brick bed), and Jianjun massaged Tingting's legs.

"Wife, once this difficult time is over, let's have a child. We came into this world before we were ready. I hope we can experience the joy of being parents and that our whole family can be happy together."

When Tingting heard Jianjun say this, she said shyly, "You're always thinking about these kinds of things."

Jianjun hugged Tingting and said, "Wife, I feel happy when I think about having a child who looks like you. This child is also a continuation of our love."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, honey. Stop thinking about it and go to sleep. We have to go up the mountain tomorrow."
