Chapter 231 The whole family goes into the mountains together
"You're right, for the sake of the children, we can move to the capital.
It just so happens that my newly bought farm is close to the city, so it will be convenient for me to keep an eye on it if I move there," said Gu Yan.
"Xuanxuan is still young. Didn't the teacher tell him to spend two years in the county school before going?
There's no rush for this, we'll talk about it later. Anyway, our family has a place to stay in the capital, so we can go there anytime we want." Li Wanqing said and closed her eyes.
Since she became pregnant, Li Wanqing has loved sleeping so much that she often falls asleep while talking.
Gu Yan saw Li Wanqing closed her eyes. He smiled, tightened his arms, and closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The next morning, the family got up early, and this time Uncle Wang drove the carriage to take them to the foot of the mountain.
If there were no children with him, Gu Yan would drive the carriage by himself and put it into the space when he reached the foot of the mountain.
But now that I have a child with me, I can’t do that.
Li Wanqing was very careful not to use the space in front of the children, for fear that the children were too young and might not keep their mouths shut.
Uncle Wang sent them to the foot of the mountain. Gu Yan helped Li Wanqing down, and then carried Hengheng down. Xuanxuan was bigger and jumped down by himself.
"Master, Madam, I'll go back then." Uncle Wang took off the backpack.
"Let's go back. It's time to plant greenhouse vegetables again. Uncle Wang, please keep an eye on them.
Although I handed over the greenhouse on Zhuangzi to Lin Mu, he is still not as experienced as you.
If you have time, go and take a look and give them some advice.
Plant a few more beds of chives this year. Growing chives is easy and high-yielding, and you can harvest a crop every half a month or so.
In the greenhouse at home, we can plant two more beds of vegetables, tomatoes, and cucumbers. These are what everyone in the family loves to eat." Gu Yan also gave a few instructions.
"I understand, sir. Don't worry, I know what to do." Uncle Wang is an old hand at growing vegetables. He has been responsible for most of the greenhouse vegetable growing in winter in recent years.
"Okay, go ahead, but go slowly."
After Gu Yan finished speaking, he put on his backpack and started on his journey with his family.
"Dad, Dad, there is a chestnut tree over there. Let's go pick some and take them home?" When they reached the middle of the mountain, Hengheng spotted a chestnut tree in the distance.
"We don't want the ones here. We're only halfway up the mountain. The villagers down there will also come here to pick up mountain products in the fall.
There are only a few things halfway up the mountain, so let's leave them to them.
When we get back to the mountains, there will be plenty of mountain products there for you to pick up as much as you want.
Besides, we have to hurry home and can't stop on the way." Gu Yan grabbed Heng Heng who was about to run to pick chestnuts.
"Okay then." Hengheng also remembered that there were a lot of mountain products in the mountains, which were not comparable to such a lonely chestnut tree.
After this little episode, the family continued on their journey.
However, after walking for a while, Gu Yan would stop to let Li Wanqing rest and let the two children catch their breath.
"Wife, sit down and rest for a while." Gu Yan found a flat stone and took out a cushion from his backpack and spread it on the stone.
"No need, let's go quickly. It's getting dark and it's not safe in the mountains at night." Li Wanqing said, looking at the sky.
"It's okay, just sit down and rest your feet. I told you that you were pregnant and it wasn't convenient for us to go into the mountains this year, but you refused to listen. Are you in this shape for climbing mountains?
When can't we come to the mountains?
If you are tired, you must tell me, you can't bear it yourself." Gu Yan was a little angry when he thought about how Li Wanqing didn't listen to him and insisted on going into the mountains.
"Oh, didn't I tell you it's okay? I won't go hunting with you this time. I'll just stay home and pick up some wild produce with them.
Don't worry, I'm in good health, nothing will happen." Li Wanqing knew that Gu Yan was worried about her health.
But her body is hers, and she knows best how it feels.
The baby is only four months old now, and the fetus is already firmly seated, so there is no problem for him to go up the mountain with her.
They usually stayed in the mountains for more than a month. At that time, the baby in her belly was only more than five months old and was completely fine.
Gu Yan had no choice but to take out some meat buns and water from his backpack and let Li Wanqing and the two children eat some to fill their stomachs.
After walking on the mountain road for half a day, Li Wanqing and her two children were really hungry, so they picked up the buns and got up.
Although the buns were cold, they still tasted good.
This is only because the child is present, otherwise Li Wanqing could take out food from the space to eat.
Li Wanqing ate two buns, Xuanxuan also ate two, Hengheng ate one, and Gu Yan even ate five big buns.
After finishing their meal and resting for a while, the family stood up and continued on their journey.
They stopped and walked along the way and finally arrived at their cave around eight o'clock in the evening.
Gu Yan had already come to clean up the cave in advance and prepared rice, flour and other things.
When Gu Yan got home, he lit the stove first. Everything else was fine, but the kang had to be heated.
The nights in the mountains are particularly cold, and if the kang is not warm, no matter how many quilts you cover yourself with, it will be useless.
Li Wanqing wiped the cabinets and other things again with a rag, and then went to the kitchen to cook.
The meat buns I brought are still there, just heat them up and you can eat them.
Li Wanqing made a pot of dumpling soup. Eating a bowl of hot dumpling soup on a cold day is the most comfortable thing.
After dinner, the family went to bed.
Although Li Wanqing said that she was fine, she was pregnant after all, so it would be a lie to say that she was not tired at all.
The same goes for the two children, especially Hengheng, who was basically carried back by Gu Yan in the second half of the journey.
The next day, the whole family got up late.
Gu Yan had woken up a long time ago, but looking at his wife who was curled up in his arms and sleeping soundly, he couldn't bear to get up.
It wasn't until noon that Li Wanqing opened her eyes: "What time is it?"
"It's almost noon. I'll get up and cook first. You lie down for a while, wife." Seeing that Li Wanqing woke up, Gu Yan sat up and prepared to go downstairs to cook.
"I want to eat egg pancakes. I'll cook some millet porridge with salted duck eggs, and a bowl of sour bamboo shoots mixed with sesame oil." Li Wanqing turned over lazily.
"Okay, I'll do it right away." Gu Yan turned around and went out to cook.
Li Wanqing had also slept enough, so she also got dressed and washed up.
"Mom~," the two children woke up at this time.
"Awake? If you are, get up and get dressed."
Both children can already dress themselves, so Li Wanqing doesn't have to worry about them.
After the mother and her two children finished washing up, they went to the kitchen together to wait for dinner.
"Are you all awake? Dinner will be ready soon." Gu Yan was busy making egg pancakes.
"Dad, I want to eat it." Hengheng saw that it was his favorite egg pancake and ran over immediately.
Gu Yan took a piece from the plate and gave it to him, and then took another piece for Xuanxuan.
