"What's wrong? If you're having any difficulties, you can tell us. We'll definitely help if we can."

"Actually, I'm pregnant too. I've been struggling with whether or not to keep the baby. Now that I've heard what you said, I think since I'm going to keep it, I'll just leave it to fate."

And the child is so cute.

"That's great! We can raise the baby together, and the kids can play together too. Isn't that wonderful?"

"Um."

Wang Lili had actually been feeling uneasy. Her family had persuaded her to stop before. But now, seeing other people's children—so soft and tiny—all her worries disappeared.

After playing with the children for a while, Wang Lili said goodbye.

After she got home, she poured all the opened milk powder from the can into a clean plastic bag and then handed it to Wang Lanying.

First, opened formula doesn't keep for long. Second, there wasn't much formula in this can. She wasn't planning on giving any more anyway, so she gave it all to Wang Lanying at once.

This is considered good fortune for the baby in my belly.

Wang Lanying accepted the milk powder and thanked him profusely.

At noon, Gu Zhou returned, carrying a tree branch with three large crucian carp tied to it!

These are stream carp!

Moreover, each one weighs more than a pound.

Wang Lanying was overjoyed.

"Where did this come from?"

"Yes! This crucian carp looks really good!" the mother-in-law said happily.

"When I was surveying the terrain over there just now, I saw a stream. And these three crucian carp were nestled together in a rock cave. I just happened to spot them!"

"Great! I was just worried about not having anything to eat."

"Okay. I'll go deliver one to the Wang family to thank them."

"Yes. Go quickly. Lily just brought over a lot of baby formula again. Send her some of anything good you have next time. Besides, Lily is pregnant too."

"Okay. Mom, let's stew one for lunch, and everyone can have some soup. I'll go check on the stream this afternoon."

"Okay. Go ahead."

...

"No, no need. You've just arrived, please eat."

"It's alright. I caught three. Ah Ying told me that you have a pregnant woman in your family too. You can make soup with this one. I also thank you for the milk powder you gave us. And please let us use the water from your cave."

This solved a huge problem for us.

"...Okay. I'll take it."

"Okay. By the way, I caught this fish in the stream over there. I'm going back this afternoon. You can go over there and see if there's anything to eat."

"Okay. Let's eat together."

"good."

Gu Zhou left the fish behind and went home.

afternoon.

Gu Zhou, Wang San San, and Zhang Yi went out together to the stream.

The water level in the stream has dropped significantly compared to before.

Several people traveled from upstream to downstream and from downstream to upstream.

Finally, we managed to catch some small fish and crabs.

Gu Zhou took the things home, and his mother-in-law's eyes narrowed with joy.

"Now I'm all set for dinner tonight. This afternoon, Nana gave me some spinach and bok choy seeds, as well as a few cucumber and tomato seeds. I'll plant them tomorrow morning in this little patch of land right in front of the house."

“Okay. I’ll come tomorrow. You guys get some rest,” Gu Zhou said.

“That won’t do. How tiring can growing vegetables be? You can chop some more firewood tomorrow. Yingzi will take care of the children. I’ll farm.”

"good."

...

"Bai Lian, let's park the car by the river tonight."

"good."

Bai Lian drove the car towards the riverbank next to the countryside.

The group drove on, and they weren't sure where they were now. It was somewhere in the countryside, anyway.

The houses were all collapsed and in disarray. The roads were also cracked in many places. Feng Ran and his group didn't go into the village, but drove their car to the riverbank at the edge of the village.

From a distance, all you can see is a river. The banks are overgrown with tall, dense weeds.

I got off the bus and took a closer look.

Goodness...

"Brother, do you think those three things in front of us... are ducks?"

Feng Ran rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

"no."

"I knew it! I must be hallucinating... Could it be that I'm craving roast duck...?"

“That’s a goose,” Feng Nangui’s calm voice rang out again.

A burst of fireworks flashed through Feng Ran's mind.

"Goose? Goose! Ahhh! Everyone come quick, we've caught a goose!"

"Gaga gaga-gaga..."

The group began their goose-herding operation.

The three big, fat geese were so frightened that they flapped their wings and honked loudly.

Finally, Qi Xie used a dragon's tail sweep to collect the three fat geese into his spatial storage.

"Phew, it can really splash around. Now we have a goose."

"I don't know if it's owned."

"Look, there's nobody around. It's probably wild."

"Um."

"Don't be afraid. Even if it's already taken, it's okay. It's ours now anyway," Feng Ran assured, patting his chest.

"Let's find a place to start a fire first. It's getting dark."

Feng Nangui's words served as a reminder to everyone.

Herding geese in the sweltering heat made me sweat profusely.

Several people started a fire, some setting up tables, others cooking.

First, we cut up a big watermelon, and everyone ate some casually before we started cooking porridge. Sweet potato porridge. It was sweet.

Then Fengran took out a few conger eels and sea bass. She planned to grill them directly. After that, she would have some porridge to cleanse her palate.

Feng Ran was one of the faster eaters among them. So after the meal, they brought out chilled fruit for everyone to enjoy.

The Kyoho grapes are chilled and glistening. One bite and the juice bursts out.

It's sweet and delicious.

One of Feng Ran's favorite things is grapes.

The RV is not small, but it's still not spacious enough to fit four people.
