"Third Master, it's so dark, will we be able to find any mushrooms?" Gu Jiu asked.
"We couldn't find it anyway," Gu Yuheng replied calmly.
It's winter now. Although there are mushrooms in the mountains in winter, there aren't many. I estimate that you could search the entire mountain and not find more than ten, let alone fill a whole basket.
"If we can't find mushrooms, then... oh no, what are you going to use to explain this later?"
"After daybreak, go ask around and see if anyone grows mushrooms, and buy a basketful."
"If that's the case, why do we even need to go up the mountain? Why don't we just wait until dawn and find someone to buy it?"
Gu Jiu was even more confused.
"Going up the mountain is a mission." Lin Qingze simply wanted him to have a hard time these few days, so he deliberately made up an excuse to get him up early in the morning to climb the mountain.
He didn't mind; he just treated it as exercise.
It's just a pity that I can't hold my wife and wait for her to wake up naturally. I wonder how she's sleeping now, and whether she'll look for him when she wakes up and doesn't see him first...
Gu Yuheng and Gu Jiu did not stop along the way, maintaining their steady pace. When they reached the summit, the sun was just breaking through the clouds and rising above the horizon, with a magnificent glow of clouds on the horizon.
The golden sunlight shone on his face, giving Gu Yuheng's eyes a warm hue, and he squinted slightly.
Hmm, the sunrise on this mountain is quite beautiful. Why don't he take his wife up the mountain to see the sunrise at dawn on the first day of the lunar new year? She should like the view.
...
After descending the mountain, Gu Yuheng had Gu Jiu find a family that grew mushrooms, picked a full basket, and then went home.
When he got home, the Lin brothers were already up, not to mention their grandparents, who were used to getting up early and had already prepared breakfast for them.
Of the entire family, only Lin Chuxia was still asleep.
Seeing Gu Yuheng return carrying a basket of mushrooms, Lin Qingze glanced at him and said in a nonchalant tone, "Young man, don't overdraw your life too early. Since you get up early, you should go to bed early and follow the laws of life. Don't wait until you're old and sick and become a burden to my sister."
Hearing only the first part of Lin Qingze's words, Gu Yuheng already understood his implication. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't be a burden to her." He was in very good health.
He unloaded the bamboo basket from his back and said in a good mood, "I'll go wake her up."
If she hasn't woken up yet, the first person she sees when she opens her eyes will still be him.
Gu Yuheng took off his coat, which was damp with the cold dew, before waking Lin Chuxia:
At that moment, Lin Chuxia was curled up in the quilt, with only her small face showing. Gu Yuheng was overjoyed at just one glance. He pressed himself against the quilt and lowered his head directly towards the person under the covers.
He usually wakes his wife up not with his voice, but through actions—kissing.
They call it a "good morning kiss".
Lin Chuxia was woken up by his kiss, and the first thing she did was to subconsciously curl the corners of her lips and give him a slightly dazed, sweet smile.
Upon seeing her appearance, the latter knew she hadn't slept enough. After mentally calculating her sleep duration, she couldn't help but smile and ask, "Are you that tired?"
He went up and down the mountain and picked a basket of mushrooms. More than four hours had passed. Including the time before he left, she had slept for about six or seven hours, which was about the same as her usual sleep duration at home.
