Jiang Yue looked up, smiling with red eyes, and leaned forward to kiss the corner of his lips, "Dad, you are so awesome!"
Jiang Nian raised the corners of his lips, feeling somewhat proud.
"Hey, you just said you went to the grassland? How come you went so far?"
"I only went to the edge of the grassland and didn't go in. The wild sheep on this side of the mountain are too thin and small, and I was worried that the goat milk would not taste good. I accidentally ended up there."
"Originally, I bought eight lambs, two calves, and a mule. The journey was too tiring, and three lambs died. I ate one, and the other two were still freshly dead, so I'll make them into mutton soup tomorrow. We've been on the road for over two months, and the sheep and cattle have grown up, but they're too skinny to put on any meat. They need to be cared for well."
The more Jiang Yue listened, the more excited she became. Her depressed mood disappeared. "Isn't there anyone robbing people on this road?"
"Of course there were, plenty of them. Those bandits were fine, I just killed them straight away. But there were even officials who stopped me on the road and forced me to leave my sheep and cattle behind. Of course I refused. They were unreasonable, and without their official uniforms, they were no different from bandits. So I beat them up and ran away..."
The two chatted for half the night, and when the moon set, they fell asleep unknowingly.
Jiang Yue was finally able to have a good sleep, and the baby in her belly stopped making noises.

The child seemed to wake up and punched in his mother's belly.
Jiang Nian looked at the bulge on the belly in surprise. He put his palm against it, and it seemed like he touched the child's foot, but he immediately retracted his palm.
Jiang Yue smiled, "This is the child saying hello to his father."
"Winter is coming soon. I've saved some good leather and asked Aunt Yuan to make blankets for you and the children to keep you warm."
The morning sun shines on Jiang Nian's gentle smiling face. At this moment, he no longer looks like a boy, but a real father.
