"Big brother, want to eat something with me? My mom made dumplings." Xiao Lingfeng quickly stood up and took the plate from Jian Anping's hand.
"No, everything's ready at home. I just came to check on things. You guys eat, don't worry about me."
As Jian Anping was about to leave after finishing his sentence, Aunt Wang quickly packed a plate of dumplings for him to take back.
After finishing his meal, Xiao Lingfeng went to the military base again. With so many people arriving at once, even with strict discipline, it would take several days to get things organized.
With nothing else to do, Jian Ning simply led Huang Fugui to the mountain behind the house.
"Fugui, find out what kind of minerals are here for me. I need to use them to replenish the vital energy of my immortal abode."
"The mines here are iron ore, Master. If you want mineral resources, you have to go to Miao territory, which we visited last time. It's a place full of miasma. That's where the mineral resources are abundant."
"Yes, Fugui is smart. Let's go over there now."
When Jian Ning went to Miao territory last time, she had already left the coordinates. Now, if she wants to get there, she doesn't need to travel any further; she can simply use her mind.
As soon as Huang Fugui and I stepped out of the immortal abode, we were in a dense primeval forest.
Deep within these continuous mountains lie countless mineral deposits. Huang Fugui quickly pointed out five or six such places to Jian Ning.
With such a large area, she certainly couldn't do all the hard work herself, so she marked it out.
She went back to the immortal abode to find her two bear cubs.
These two bears are absolute experts at mining. As long as Minglan grants them access, the ore here can flow into the Immortal Abode in a continuous stream.
She's really smart.
More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye. The people from Beijing have gotten used to life here and have started building a swimming pool near the base according to Jian Ning's idea.
As for the books in the library, they were collected from all over the world by Jian Ning and Xiao Lingfeng. They brought back anything usable, not just Chinese books.
After all, these books are the precious legacy to be passed down. It is hoped that the children in these bases will be able to immerse themselves in the sea of books and learn more knowledge in the future.
During this time, the two of them traveled around a lot, and Jian Ning found that she was particularly prone to getting tired and sleepy, and always wanted to sleep.
This was completely different from her usual behavior, so she specifically sought out an experienced traditional Chinese medicine doctor who had accompanied her from Beijing to take her pulse. Sure enough, she was pregnant.
This good news made Xiao Lingfeng so happy that he did several somersaults on the ground.
"I'm going to be a dad! Xiaoning, we're having a baby!! Mom, you're going to have a grandson!!!"
"Look at you, you silly thing. It might not even be a boy. What if it's a girl? Wouldn't you like that?" Jian Ning stared at Xiao Lingfeng with wide eyes. If he dared to say a word against it, she would definitely make his life miserable.
"I love it, I love any child, boy or girl, as long as it's our child. My dear wife,"
From now on, you just stay home and take good care of yourself during your pregnancy. Don't go anywhere. If you want anything, even the stars in the sky, I'll find a way to pluck them down for you.
Xiao Lingfeng came over, took Jian Ning's hand, and helped her sit on the sofa, treating her with utmost care, as if she were some fragile treasure.
"I'm not that delicate. Don't worry, I'm perfectly healthy, and the baby is healthy too. I don't need any special treatment." Although this was Jian Ning's first pregnancy...
But she was certain of her physical condition. With spiritual energy protecting her, the baby in her womb would definitely be safe, and she didn't need to rest specially.
"Xiao Ning, you have to listen to Ling Feng. Don't lift a finger around the house anymore, I'll handle everything."
Oh right, I need to go up the mountain to fulfill a vow. I made a vow at the Taoist temple there: if you get pregnant,
I'll send two live chickens and a hundred catties of grain over. The gods on this mountain are truly amazing; my wish was granted so quickly.
As she spoke, Aunt Wang went to the yard to catch chicks and asked Xiao Lingfeng to push the rice and flour to the Taoist temple on the mountain.
Jian Ning was truly surprised that the old lady would actually make a wish; it seemed she had always wanted a grandson. This child's arrival was indeed a long-awaited fulfillment of everyone's wishes.
Jian Ning is pregnant, which is a big deal. When Jian Anping came home that night and found out, tears immediately streamed down his face.
He thought his sister never wanted children in her life, but he didn't know where that misconception came from.
Seeing him crying so hard, Jian Ning was really speechless.
"Brother, isn't my pregnancy a good thing? Why are you crying?"
"I'm so happy! Our parents would be happy even in the afterlife. Our Jian family is going to have another member, this is a joyous occasion! I have to go out and set off some firecrackers to celebrate."
After saying that, he stood up and walked outside.
"Ling Feng, go stop him! It's not a holiday, why is he setting off firecrackers?" Jian Ning felt that Jian Anping was exaggerating.
"I think you did the right thing, brother. How come I didn't think of that before? Xiao Ning, you sit here and cover your ears. I'm going to set off a few more fireworks with you to celebrate."
After Xiao Lingfeng finished speaking, he ran outside. Immediately afterwards, the sounds of firecrackers crackling, double-banged firecrackers, and sky rockets filled the air.
The firecrackers went off for more than half an hour before stopping. No one knew when Xiao Lingfeng had stored so many firecrackers in his storage space.
The other people in the base had no idea what was wrong with the Xiao family today, making such a big commotion, but they guessed it was a happy occasion. Not long after, Cao Xue and Liu Yan's family arrived one after the other.
Neither of them was empty-handed; Cao Xue was carrying eggs laid by her own chickens, while Xiao Wuyu was holding a mountain rabbit.
