"Xiao Gu, is there really any food? Enough to fill a whole cave?"

"Brother Gu, is there really a whole cave full of grain? And it's all pure white rice?"

"Xiao Gu, where's the grain? Where's the grain?"

"..."

Before the group even got close, Gu Nanxun heard a cacophony of voices, all of which were related to food.

"The grain is down there. Go down and take a look! But be careful, don't crowd. The grain is piled up quite high down there, and if it falls, it could kill someone."

When Gu Nanxun heard everyone's questions, he smiled and replied, but then, fearing that everyone might get too excited and cause danger, he gave a reminder.

"Two people, two people, go down together, don't go down together, everyone go down in a line."

Upon hearing Gu Nanxun's words, the captain quickly directed everyone to line up and go down.

"It really is food, it really is food! We're saved! We won't go hungry anymore!"

They went down into the cave in pairs, taking turns to check the grain inside. Everyone was so excited that they were stammering, and some of the men even shed tears. Without exception, everyone was extremely excited.

"Captain, you guys stay here and guard the area! I'm going down the mountain first."

Gu Nanxun guessed that they would definitely stay up very late today, so he said to the captain.

"Okay...okay...Xiao Gu, go back first! Don't worry, Uncle remembers your and Xiao Lin's contributions. Uncle will explain to the commune."

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Zhiqiang."

Hearing the captain's words, Gu Nanxun smiled and said something, then went down the mountain.

"Nanxun, how is it?"

As soon as Gu Nanxun entered the courtyard, he saw Lin Qing lying on a recliner under a tree, holding a banana leaf fan and slowly waving it.

Gu Nanxun took the banana leaf fan from Lin Qing, sat down next to the recliner, and said while holding an umbrella for Lin Qing, "The brigade leader has already taken people to guard the mountain. I didn't ask for too many details, but I guess someone has already gone to inform the commune."

"Report this to the commune? Has the brigade leader decided to report this to the commune?"

With Gu Nanxun fanning her, Lin Qing stretched lazily, yawned, and continued to ask.

"It can't be hidden. There are so many people in the village, and some of them are bound to have their own selfish motives. Besides, everyone is short of food, but suddenly Chaoyang Brigade doesn't have any. Isn't that obviously a problem?"

Gu Nanxun looked at Lin Qing, who was lying lazily on the recliner like a little lazy cat, and explained with a smile, "How can my baby be so cute!"

"What can we do then? If we report it to the commune, won't our village still be short of food? The commune can't possibly distribute all its grain to us!"

Upon hearing Gu Nanxun's words, Lin Qing's eyes widened, and she asked, "If that's the case, won't the problem of food shortage in their village still remain unsolved?"

"Why are you getting lazier and lazier? You're even too lazy to think anymore, huh?"

Looking at Lin Qing's wide-eyed expression, which resembled that of a kitten, Gu Nanxun chuckled and playfully pinched Lin Qing's nose.

"Isn't Nanxun here? And Nanxun is smarter than me, why should I need to think?"

Lin Qing smiled and nuzzled Gu Nanxun's hand, acting coquettishly.

Gu Nanxun reached out and pinched Lin Qing's cheek: "Be careful, your brother might sell you one day."

"Brother Nanxun, are you willing to do this? Are you willing to sell your little darling?"

Upon hearing Gu Nanxun's words, Lin Qing stared wide-eyed in disbelief and asked Gu Nanxun a question.

Gu Nanxun glanced at the locked door, then picked Lin Qing up from the recliner and placed her on his lap.

"I can't bear to part with them, of course I can't bear to part with my little darling, and there's another little darling here, so I can't bear to part with them even more."

"Hmph! So you're still going to sell me?"

Lin Qing shook her head triumphantly in Gu Nanxun's arms and said with a proud look on her face.

"Isn't this just teasing the baby? You're my precious baby! I'd rather sell myself than sell my baby!"

Gu Nanxun pressed his forehead against Lin Qing's forehead, rubbing against her as he explained, making Lin Qing laugh.

Then, fearing that Lin Qing would laugh herself sick, he kept patting Lin Qing's back.

"Alright! Tell me quickly, what is the captain planning to do?"

Lin Qing finally stopped laughing, and then remembered the topic from earlier, and asked Gu Nanxun about it.

"Those grains are all refined grains. The brigade leader is going to apply to the commune for coarse grains. Our brigade doesn't need refined grains. As long as we have coarse grains to last until next autumn's harvest, that will be good enough."

"That's clever! Let me think... This idea definitely didn't come from the brigade leader! It must have been my clever husband!"

Lin Qing nestled comfortably in Gu Nanxun's arms, playing with the hem of his clothes, and said with a smile.

"So smart! How come my wife is so smart?"

Gu Nanxun couldn't stop smiling when he heard Lin Qing's praise, and he also smiled and praised Lin Qing back.

“Brother Nanxun, if other people heard us praising each other, they would definitely call us shameless.”

Lin Qing couldn't help but laugh when she heard Gu Nanxun's praise.

"Who dares to insult our baby? Let's see how my husband beats him up and avenges our baby."

Lin Qing smiled and said, "Okay, from now on, if anyone dares to insult me, I'll tell my husband, and he'll help me get revenge."

"Baby, say it again."

When Gu Nanxun heard Lin Qing call him "husband," he couldn't help but squeeze his legs together.

Lin Qing suddenly felt a firmness beneath her buttocks, paused for a moment, and then continued to laugh, "Brother Nanxun."

"No, that's not it."

“Gu Nanxun…”

"No, that's not it."

“Nanxun…”

"Not right yet."

"Brother Nanxun..."

"You little rascal..."

Looking at Lin Qing's smiling eyes, Gu Nanxun couldn't help but pat Lin Qing's bottom and jokingly scolded her.

"husband……"

Suddenly, Lin Qing smiled and called out "Husband!" Gu Nanxun immediately leaned down and kissed Lin Qing's lips.

After a long while, the two reluctantly parted ways.

Do you need my help?

Lin Qing suddenly pinched the hard object pressing against her and looked at Gu Nanxun with an amused expression.

Gu Nanxun shuddered as Lin Qing pinched him. He lightly patted Lin Qing's bottom a few times. "You little rascal, wait until you give birth, then I'll punish you. You sit here by yourself, I'm going to take a shower."

After saying that, Gu Nanxun put Lin Qing on the recliner and quickly ran to the bathroom.

He could still hear Lin Qing's giggling laughter behind him, so he shook his head helplessly and quickened his pace into the bathroom.

At this moment, in the right side room, Zhao Chen and Zhao Xi, their faces flushed, kept stealing glances at the scene in the courtyard.

They dared not go out at this moment. They thought that the young master and madam had probably forgotten that they were still in the house. If they went out now, the madam would definitely be embarrassed.

Zhao Chen and Zhao Xi were right. Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun had indeed forgotten that the two of them had moved back and thought that only the two of them were in the yard.
