After all, we are sleeping outside, so we have to arrange someone to keep watch at night to prevent any accidents.
Originally, Lin Changshu was also going to stand guard, but Lin Guang got there first and said, "Second Uncle, please don't bother. My two brothers and I will take turns keeping watch at night. Each of us can keep watch for an hour, and it won't interfere with our rest."
Lin Yue and Lin Feng nodded hurriedly, "Yes, Dad, we are here. You and uncle can sleep soundly. I guarantee you will be safe!"
Seeing this, Lin Changshu could only nod and said, "Alright, if you can't hold on, you must wake me up!"
"Hey, don't worry, Dad! Cousin, big brother, you two should go to sleep too. You must be tired after pushing the cart all day. I'm fine. I've been carrying the basket all the time, which is lighter than you. I'm not sleepy now. I'll call you later when I get sleepy!"
Lin Feng sat by the campfire without moving, and it was obvious that he had made up his mind. Lin Guang and Lin Yue were not polite either. They gave him a few words of advice and went to sleep.
Lin Changshu and Zhao were in the middle, the son was on Lin Changshu's right, and the daughter-in-law was on Zhao's left. The children were protected in the middle by Zhao and the daughter-in-law.
Although it is not very comfortable for the whole family to sleep in this crowded position, it is still quite warm.
Perhaps because Xiao Lingling was used to her bed, she couldn't fall asleep for a while, so her consciousness went into the space to cultivate for a while, until it was time to change the night watchman, then she was too tired to fall asleep in a daze.
The temple was quite quiet all night except for the occasional crackling sound from the fire. Only the little guy Lin An would cry in the middle of the night because he was hungry.
However, the noise was not loud, and Wu Hong reacted quickly, so she didn't wake anyone up, allowing them to have a good sleep.
The next day, Zhao woke up before dawn. When she wanted to get up, she felt her arms become heavy and her waist felt a little sore. For a moment, she was unable to get up.
Lin Yue heard the noise and quickly looked over. He whispered, "Mom, why are you awake so early? It's not even daybreak yet!"
Zhao gently moved her little granddaughter, who was sleeping soundly on her, to the side. The little girl seemed a little startled. She smacked her lips twice, turned over, hugged Lin Wu, and continued to sleep holding his arm.
Zhao smiled, stretched her waist a little, quickly stood up, and covered herself with the quilt again.
"I can't sleep. It's really uncomfortable to sleep sitting up. When I look for a place to rest tonight, I'd better find one where I can lie down. The children are okay, but it's painful for adults to sleep like this all night!"
Lin Yue knew that this was uncomfortable, so he helped Zhao up and said, "Hey, Mom, I'll remember this. When we look for a place tonight, let's find one that's a little more spacious!"
Zhao waved her hand. "Alright, don't worry about me. Go back to sleep. I'll make some porridge again. We'll set off after we eat. There was no water in town yesterday. Who knows what might have happened. It's always better for us to get to the county as soon as possible!"
Lin Yue was unwilling to go to sleep. "I've slept for a long time and I'm still energetic. There's no need to sleep anymore. Mom, go wash the rice. I'll go get some dry firewood!"
Zhao didn't force him and quickly grabbed two handfuls of rice. There was still some porridge left over from yesterday. When it was almost done, she poured it in to heat it up. It was so cold in the morning that if he didn't eat something hot, he would freeze to death.
There was no time to stew the remaining half chicken, so she took some chopped pickled vegetables out of the clay pot. It was too cold outside, almost frozen, so she put it directly next to the fire to keep it warm so that it wouldn't be too cold when she ate it later.
She waited until the porridge was almost done before she went to wake people up.
The two daughters-in-law were the first to wake up. When they heard that the meal was already ready, they couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
"Mom, I, I was so sound asleep that I didn't hear anything. Let me do it at noon today!"
"Ah, and me too. I don't know why I fell into such a deep sleep."
Zhao chuckled and comforted them while fishing her grandson out of the quilt.
"Okay, you're all exhausted, carrying the baby and traveling at the same time. You need to get some more sleep to be energetic today. I'm old and don't sleep much. It's just making porridge, it's no big deal. Hurry up and wash up. We have to set off after dinner."
The noise here also woke up Lin Changhe and his family. Those who had slept for a long time were still a little dazed for a while, but they soon woke up.
Sun Rong quickly stood up and started to set up the pot. Zhao glanced at her and said in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, there's no need to set up the pot. I cooked a little extra. Let's all eat together. We don't know what the situation is like in the county, so it's safer for us to leave early."
After saying this, Zhao didn't expect to hear any thanks. After all, she had never heard any thanks when she was taken advantage of in other places.
However, it was not known whether the sun rose from the west today. Sun hesitated for a moment and then spoke in a low voice.
"Excuse me, sister-in-law. Don't make porridge for lunch today. We'll just make a little more!"
After saying that, Sun found an excuse to go to the bathroom and quickly slipped out of the room.
Everyone in the room, young and old, regardless of gender, was stunned by her sudden words. They didn't react until everyone had run away. Then they all smiled at the same time. Even Zhao took a few more glances towards the door.
Only Lin Changhe was in a particularly good mood, and his smile became even bigger. It was great, as if he saw the wife he had just brought home again.
When Sun came back, everyone had returned to normal, which made her feel relieved. She took the initiative to help fetch water for washing and even took some water from her own water tank.
However, everyone was up, only Xiao Lingling was still sleeping soundly, and Lin Wu, who was still staying in bed, was accompanying her.
He found a legitimate reason, "Grandma, my little sister is holding me. What if I get up and wake her up? My little sister will cry if she doesn't get enough sleep!"
Zhao paused in her move to pull him and was about to say something when Lin Wu jumped up from the ground with a loud shout, holding his right hand with his left hand.
"Ahhhhhh! Sister, sister, bite me!"
Maybe it was because Xiao Lingling smelled the porridge, and she started to feel greedy in her dream. She didn't know how she touched Lin Wu's right hand, grabbed it and put it into her mouth.
Even though Little Bell is only two and a half years old, her bite can be very painful.
Lin Wu pointed at the two teeth marks on his right index finger, feeling extremely aggrieved. He thought at least someone would come to comfort him, but in the end all he got was a burst of laughter.
This time, I feel even more wronged...
However, the laughter was a bit loud and woke up Little Bell in the end. She pouted and tried to blow bubbles before she even opened her eyes, but unfortunately, she blew bubbles in vain. Only then did she react in a daze.
