The children were very obedient, and after hearing Lin Qing's words, they couldn't wait to get back to the car and change out of their wet clothes.

After the children changed their clothes, Zhao Xi's first batch of skewers was ready. Zhao Xi put the skewers on a plate, Lin Yunfeng took them, and then let the children sit on the mats to eat.

At the same time, Lin Qing also took out the snacks, fruits, and desserts they had brought for the children to eat together.

After taking care of the children, Lin Qing and Lu Xianghong hung up the children's wet clothes to dry.

The afternoon sun softened, and a gentle breeze from the river brought a touch of coolness. The children, having eaten and drunk their fill, were all tired and sprawled out on their mats to sleep.

Lin Qing got up, went to the car, and took some sheets to cover the children.

"Qingqing, you've prepared very thoughtfully. I didn't even think of bringing a lid."

Lu Xianghong watched Lin Qing cover the children with blankets and couldn't help but say something.

"No, it's just that my kids have a habit of taking a nap, so I remembered to bring a cover. Anyway, the sheets are quite thin, and they don't take up much space when folded."

Lin Qing felt embarrassed when Lu Xianghong praised her.

"You're too modest. My child also takes a nap, so I didn't even think of it!"

Lu Xianghong smiled as she looked at Xu Fengjiao and Zhao Xi playing in the water in the distance, and then said.

Lin Qing, feeling embarrassed, changed the subject, saying, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I heard that housing restrictions have been lifted now."

"real!"

Lu Xianghong, who had been lazily leaning against the tree, immediately sat up straight after hearing Lin Qing's words and said excitedly.

"Yes, that's right!"

Lin Qing also said with a smile that she had heard it from Gu Bei yesterday.

When Gu Nanxun took Gu Bei to the new house, he instructed Gu Bei to keep an eye on the house's information, and finally heard the good news yesterday.

"Great! Let's go look for a place to live tomorrow!"

Lu Xianghong's eyes were filled with excitement; she couldn't wait to go back and find a place to live.

"Sister Xiang Hong, what's wrong with you? Why are you so happy?"

Xu Fengjiao and Zhao Xi played for a while, and when they returned, they saw Lu Xianghong's excited appearance, so they asked excitedly.

In their eyes, Lu Xianghong had always been a very mature and composed person, and they rarely saw her with such an outward expression, which made Xu Fengjiao particularly curious.

Xu Fengjiao's voice was a bit loud, and the men who were chatting nearby couldn't help but look at Lu Xianghong when they heard her.

At this moment, Lu Xianghong was so excited that she didn't care about other people's goals. When she heard Xu Fengjiao's question, she couldn't wait to explain to Xu Fengjiao: "Fengjiao, Qingqing said that the housing market has been opened up, so we can buy a house now!"

"Sister Xiang Hong, do you mean we can buy a house? That's wonderful!"

Xu Fengjiao's eyes sparkled with anticipation; she couldn't wait to have her own little home.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xianghong also looked at Lin Qing, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Yes, I guarantee the information is absolutely accurate!"

Seeing this, Lin Qing also said happily.

"Really? That's great! Let's go look for a place tomorrow!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Fengjiao jumped up and said happily.

Zhao Xi nodded happily beside her. She had always dreamed of having her own home, one that she could decorate according to her own preferences. Moreover, being able to buy their own house meant that they could officially register their residency in Beijing.

"Then it's settled. We'll look for a place tomorrow. We'll start near the Imperial University. If we can find one, we can bring the child over next semester."

Wang Haoran said happily.

“We’ll go together too. It would be best if we stayed near my sister’s house, so it would be easier for my parents to take care of the children.”

Lin Yunfeng, standing beside him, explained with a smile.

"Alright, everyone, calm down. Let's enjoy the barbecue and the beautiful river view first. We can go house hunting together tomorrow. There's no rush."

Lin Qing smiled and calmed everyone down as she looked at their excited expressions.

She seemed to have forgotten that she was just as excited as everyone else yesterday. If she hadn't received the news so late yesterday, Lin Qing would have gone out to look at houses.

"Yes, yes, let's enjoy today first."

Xu Fengjiao smiled and echoed, but her wandering eyes made it clear that her mind had already wandered off somewhere else.

...

As the sun set, the children had long since woken from their afternoon naps. Golden sunlight shimmered on the river's surface, and the lingering aroma of barbecue mingled with the children's laughter, creating a warm and beautiful scene. This day was unforgettable for the children and something the adults had been looking forward to.

They all looked forward to the next day and to tomorrow's harvest.

"Alright, kids, let's get ready to go home."

Upon hearing Lin Qing mention going back, Xu Fengjiao immediately shouted excitedly to the children.

Although the children were still a little reluctant to leave after playing all day, they obediently changed their clothes and got into the car they had come in.

"Mom, can we come again sometime?"

Looking at the increasingly distant riverbank, Gu Zichen reluctantly asked Lin Qing a question.

Gu Yichen, Gu Shulan, and Gu Ziyao all looked at Lin Qing expectantly, their eyes filled with longing.

Seeing this, Lin Qing's heart softened. She turned around and patted Gu Zichen's head. "Of course you can. When you have time in the future, Mom will take you to play more fun things."

"Wow...that's great, thank you, Mom!"

"Thank you, Mom..."

Gu Yichen, Gu Zichen, and Gu Ziyao cheered immediately after receiving Lin Qing's answer.

Gu Shulan glanced at Lin Qing, then at the cheering Gu Yichen, Gu Zichen, and Gu Ziyao beside her, and finally looked at Gu Nanxun, who was driving, and said softly, "Thank you too, Dad!"

"Yes, thank you, Dad!"

"Thank you, Dad!"

"Thank you, Dad!"

Hearing the children's innocent thanks, Gu Nanxun couldn't help but smile, and Lin Qing smiled happily at the same time.

She turned around, reached out and gently patted Gu Shulan's head, then patted each of the other children in turn. Her smile grew even brighter.

...

Back home, Dong Xiulan had already prepared dinner. The children, who had been playing all day, were tired. After dinner, they all took a bath and went to bed.

"Ding... Congratulations, Master, on completing the third stage of the mission! Rewards include 10 bottles of Spirit-grade Nutrient Solution, a plot of land totaling 2000 square meters, and a set of real estate listings in the capital (updated regularly)! Would you like to claim them now?"

After settling the children in, Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun heard the system's voice as soon as they entered the space.

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with excitement. The rewards for the third stage of the mission that they had been waiting for had finally arrived.
