Chapter 232 Taking Care of Children

"Dad, can you take me to get a condom?" Xuanxuan said while stuffing an omelet into his mouth.

"Okay, I'll take you there after dinner." Gu Yan agreed.

"Dad, I want to go too. I want to go too. I want to catch pheasants too." Hengheng quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and followed.

"Okay, I'll take you with me, but you'll make Xu tired." Gu Yan felt that his youngest son was five years old and it was time for him to start learning.

When he was a child, at the age of four or five, he would run around the mountains catching pheasants and rabbits.

"I definitely won't complain of being tired." Hengheng assured and quickened his eating pace.

"Wife, I'll take the two boys out for a walk later and pick some red dates.

You rest at home first, and I'll make lunch when I get back."

There are several jujube trees on the hill behind their house. Li Wanqing found the saplings and planted them herself.

The fruits started to appear two years ago, and they have become more and more abundant in the past two years.

Red dates are also a good thing and can be sold at a high price in the provincial capital. In the past two years, Li Wanqing has planted some saplings.

They had just returned yesterday and hadn't had time to check it out, but Gu Yan estimated that many of the jujube trees should be bearing fruit. They should be able to harvest quite a bit this year.

"Okay, collect everything you have captured and I'll go over at noon." As for what they were going to do, the two adults knew it very well.

"Dad, I'm done eating, let's go." As he spoke, Hengheng had already finished the porridge in his bowl.

When Gu Yan looked back, he saw that not only Hengheng, but Xuanxuan had also finished eating and was standing there waiting for him.

It seems that both children are looking forward to going out.

"Okay, let's go." Gu Yan quickly poured the porridge in the bowl into his mouth.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go hunt pheasants. Mom, wait for us, we'll make chicken soup for lunch." Hengheng jumped for joy.

"I'll make some chicken soup for lunch. You must learn how to use the condom well. I'm waiting for your pheasant." Li Wanqing responded with a smile.

"Yes, Mom, I will study hard. When I grow up, I will go hunting with Dad and kill big tigers." Hengheng clenched his little fists, as if he had really killed a tiger.

"Okay, let's go," Gu Yan put the bow and arrow and the things he would need for putting the sheath on it later into the backpack.

Seeing him put the water bag into the backpack, Li Wanqing took out two twisted dough sticks from a snack and handed them to him: "Take this with you too, you can fill your stomach when you are hungry."

"No, I..." Gu Yan was about to say that he didn't need it, but he looked up and saw his two sons.

What else did Gu Yan not understand? This was not for him at all. It was for both children because they were worried that the child would be hungry on the way. "Okay, I'll take it with me."

"When you two go out, listen to your father and don't run around. There are dangers everywhere in the mountains.

"Don't leave your dad's sight. If you don't obey, you don't have to go out next time. Just stay home with me." Li Wanqing also instructed the two children.

"I know, Mom, I won't run around."

"Mom, I'll be obedient. I don't want to stay at home with you."

Although both children promised, Li Wanqing was still worried, and turned around and reminded Gu Yan: "You must keep a close eye on them.

Xuanxuan is okay, he is older after all and has been there with you before.

It's Hengheng that I'm worried about. This kid is a show-off and will easily lose his mind if you're not careful.

You must keep an eye on him and don't let him run around."

Li Wanqing was really worried about Hengheng, but she also knew one thing: she couldn't keep the child by her side just because she was worried.

An eagle must learn to fly, and a tiger must learn to hunt.

Although their family conditions are better now, she doesn't plan to raise her child to be a rich young master.

Li Wanqing plans to let her two children learn hunting, farming, cooking, and washing clothes. Even if they don't have to be proficient in them, they must be able to do it.

"I know, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of him.

We didn't go far, just stayed in the Pheasant Ridge area.

I'll help them set the traps, and then I'll teach them how to dig pitfalls." Gu Yan knew that with two children, he definitely couldn't go to a dangerous place.

After saying that, Gu Yan took the two children away.

Li Wanqing finished her meal slowly, washed the dishes, and tidied the house again.

After cleaning up, I sat down to rest for a while. Just as I was about to go out for a walk, Zhao Cuifang came.

Knowing that Gu Yan and Li Wanqing would come back at this time every year, Zhao Cuifang has been paying attention to the developments here these days.

This morning, she saw smoke coming out of Li Wanqing's kitchen and knew that Gu Yan and Li Wanqing had returned.

She sent Gu Chuan away to go hunting, waited for a while, and then came to chat with Li Wanqing.

"Third sister-in-law, you are back?" Zhao Cuifang called out from the door.

"Hey, come in, I'm in the room." Li Wanqing knew it was Zhao Cuifang as soon as she heard it.

In the past few years, every year when they came back, Zhao Cuifang would come to chat with her.

"Third sister-in-law, when did you come back? I saw that there was no one at home yesterday, and there was smoke coming out of the chimney this morning." Zhao Cuifang asked with a smile.

"Well, it was already evening when we got home yesterday, how could you see it?" Li Wanqing stood up and poured water and brought food to Zhao Cuifang.

"Third sister-in-law, you...you are pregnant again?" Zhao Cuifang asked in surprise as she looked at Li Wanqing's slightly bulging belly.

"Well, it's been four months." Li Wanqing stroked her belly and said with a smile.

"That's great, Third Sister-in-law, you're going to have three children soon. Unlike me, after all these years, I still only have one son, Dunzi." Zhao Cuifang said with some sadness.

"Didn't you go see a doctor?" Li Wanqing brought over a plate of sweet cakes.

"I went to the town to see a doctor. They said I had hurt myself during childbirth. They also prescribed me some medicine to help me recover.

But I stopped taking it after one course of treatment. The medicine for body conditioning is too expensive and I can't afford it.

"I'd rather use that money to support Dunzi's education," Zhao Cuifang said.

Li Wanqing thought that having a son was nothing to be afraid of, and if he raised him well, he would be no worse than having more sons.

But when I think about the fact that I already have two sons and I’m pregnant with another one.

It seemed like I was being too naive to say this, so after thinking about it I decided not to say it out loud.

"Come, have a piece of cake. Did Gu Chuan go hunting? Where is Dunzi? Why didn't he come with you?" Li Wanqing handed Zhao Cuifang a piece of cake and changed the subject.

"Gu Chuan went hunting, and Dunzi went to study in town." Zhao Cuifang became happy again when she mentioned her son.

"Oh, Dunzi is also going to school? This is a good thing?" Li Wanqing said.

"Well, our Dunzi really loves reading. The last time I went to see him, he was reciting his lessons. He was reciting them very well, and the teacher even praised him.

I tell you, we Dunzi..."
