Lin Qing responded to Zhao Xi's words with a smile, also marveling at the wonders of this land.
The mountain spring water is crystal clear, and the babbling sound of the flowing water brings peace to the mind.
"The water here is so refreshing, I really want to drink some." Gu Ziyao curiously approached the mountain spring, gently splashing the water with her hand, feeling the coolness.
"Be careful, don't fall in." Lin Qing reminded her daughter that although the spring was not deep, safety should still be a priority.
"Mom, can we drink this water directly?" Gu Ziyao asked Lin Qing, looking up at her.
"Yes, this spring water is very clean and can be drunk directly."
Lin Qing replied that she had personally tasted the spring water yesterday and found it to be particularly sweet.
"Wow, I have to try it!"
As Gu Ziyao spoke, she cupped some water in her hands, carefully took a sip, and her eyes immediately lit up. "It's so sweet!"
Seeing Gu Ziyao's actions, the other children followed suit, vying to taste the sweetness of the mountain spring.
The adults laughed as they watched the children's lively antics.
Lin Jianguo exclaimed, "These mountain springs and hot springs are truly a gift from nature!"
"Yes, this place is like a paradise."
Xu Fengjiao echoed this sentiment.
"Alright, let's walk a little further and see what other fun places there are."
After playing by the mountain spring for a while, Lin Qing made a suggestion.
So the group followed the mountain stream and headed deeper into the forest.
Along the way, they saw various wildflowers and plants, and birds singing merrily in the woods.
"It's been so long since I've felt this fresh air."
Lu Xianghong sighed with a nostalgic expression.
"Yes, the air here is fresh and the environment is nice. It's a great place to relax and unwind."
Dong Xiulan nodded in agreement.
“There is an orchard there. When autumn comes, we can go and pick wild fruits.”
As Lin Qing spoke, she pointed to a grove of fruit trees not far away.
"Those don't look like wild fruit trees!"
Lu Xianghong looked at the fruit trees that Lin Qing was pointing to and said doubtfully.
"I don't know either. This orchard was originally there. If it's not wild, then it was planted by the Jin family."
Lin Qing shook her head and said with a smile that she had all kinds of fruit trees in her space, so she didn't pay much attention to this fruit tree.
"Let's go take a look!"
Lu Xianghong said with great interest.
The group walked along the path by the mountain spring, heading with great interest towards the orchard.
Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows, and their footsteps echoed through the forest with laughter and cheerful chatter.
"Mom, look! There are so many fruits on the fruit tree!"
Gu Zichen ran ahead and arrived at the orchard first. He pointed to the fruit trees in front of him and shouted excitedly to Lin Qing.
"Brother and sister, come quickly, there are so many fruit trees."
"They're here, they're here..."
Gu Ziyao, Gu Yichen, and the others, upon hearing Gu Zichen's call, also rushed towards the orchard.
"Slow down, slow down!"
Seeing the children running very fast, Dong Xiulan shouted loudly and chased after them.
As they drew closer, Lin Qing looked up and saw an endless orchard filled with all kinds of fruit trees, and the trees were laden with fruit.
"Qingqing, you are so lucky. These are not wild fruit trees, but cultivated fruit trees."
Looking at the orchard in front of her, Lu Xianghong said to Lin Qing with a happy expression.
"That's right, they are artificially cultivated. When the fruit ripens in the fall, it will be another source of wealth."
Lu Xianghong happily looked around the orchard.
"It certainly doesn't look wild. This fruit tree is growing so well, but it doesn't bear many fruits."
Chen Jianguo said with a smile, "This orchard is so big! Although there aren't many fruits on the trees yet, the orchard is huge! There will be a good harvest in the fall!"
"Oh my... This is great! We'll help you pick the fruit when it's ripe."
Dong Xiulan was so happy she couldn't stop smiling.
“That’s right, Auntie is right. We’ll come and help when the fruit is ripe. Qingqing, you should find someone to take good care of these fruit trees next year. They haven’t been tended to for so many years. If you take good care of them this year, they will definitely bear more fruit next year.”
After hearing Dong Xiulan's words, Lu Xianghong said excitedly.
"Wife, what are you doing here?"
Suddenly, Lin Yunfeng's voice came from afar.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw several men walking over from a distance.
"We just happened to be strolling around here, what brings you all here too?"
Zhao Xi said with a smile.
"We came here because we saw an orchard."
Lin Yunfeng stepped forward, looking around at the orchard with curiosity in his eyes.
"Fourth Brother, you've struck it rich! This orchard is so big, how much fruit must it be bearing!"
Wang Haoran also said excitedly.
"If this tree was planted by the Jin family, it must be at least ten years old!"
Chen Bin looked at the orchard in front of him and thought for a moment before speaking.
"A fruit tree that's been growing for over ten years, that's quite a fortune!"
Xu Fengjiao also said happily, her eyes full of envy, her good friend Qingqing's luck is as good as ever.
Although she didn't know how much her friends had spent to buy the house and the mountain, she figured this orchard alone was worth it.
"Let's look around and see just how big it really is."
Lin Jianguo said excitedly, feeling thrilled at the thought that this was his daughter's fortune.
Lin Qing looked at the orchard in front of her, her heart filled with surprise and delight.
She hadn't thought much of the orchard when she first saw it on the map; she was just casually leading everyone for a walk today. Little did she know she would discover such a treasure.
"Okay, let's look around together."
Lin Qing nodded in agreement; she also wanted to see just how big the orchard was.
So the group began to explore the orchard.
"Mom, what kind of fruit trees are these?!"
Gu Ziyao held Lin Qing's hand and asked curiously.
"Look, these are apple trees, those are pear trees, and those are peach trees."
As Lin Qing walked, she pointed to different fruit trees and introduced them to Gu Ziyao.
"Mom, these fruits look so delicious! Can we eat them?"
Gu Zichen looked at the apple tree in front of him, swallowed hard, and said with longing.
"It's not ripe yet, so it might be a little sour, but you can still try it!"
Lin Qing looked at the green apples on the apple tree, thought for a moment, and said.
She remembered eating green apples in her past life. Although they weren't as sweet as red apples, they had a unique flavor.
