As summer progresses, the weather gets hotter and hotter.
Especially around noon, it's impossible to go out; the scorching sun makes the air in the distance seem distorted.
Lin Wanyue couldn't go to the bamboo grove with her brothers to play.
Lin Zhongyuan happened to be practicing calligraphy with his three younger brothers and Lin Wanyue, and also had them recite texts.
Less than three days later, Lin Zheyun clung to his father Lin Weiming's leg, begging him to take him hunting in the mountains, thus escaping the matter.
Without their second brother to set an example, Lin Zihan and Lin Ziqiu couldn't stand it anymore. They seemed to be covered in burrs, twisting and turning, unwilling to learn.
"Little sister..." Lin Zihan blinked and whispered to Lin Wanyue, "Do you want to go play on the mountain? It's cool on the mountain now, there's water in the river, and there must be mountain springs too!"
"There are also hazelnut trees, chestnut trees, and ferns! Shall we go up the mountain together and get some to eat? The chestnuts are fragrant and sweet, and the hazelnuts are delicious roasted in winter." Lin Ziqiu also joined in.
Since their daughter was born, their family has not only eaten more, but the food on the table has actually gotten better and better.
However, the memory of hunger was too vivid, and Lin Ziqiu immediately thought of food. As soon as he mentioned it, he couldn't help but drool. He quickly wiped it away, and his bright, clear eyes stared at Lin Wanyue with anticipation.
In her past life, Lin Wanyue was actually a very good person at enduring loneliness. After all, she had no friends and was prone to seeing all sorts of ghosts when she went out. Anyway, she had stockpiled goods in the villa, and unless someone placed an order for her to do feng shui and fortune telling, she would never go out at all.
But now, playing wildly with my two older brothers every day feels like reliving a wonderful childhood, and I'm full of anticipation for climbing trees and picking fruit on the mountain.
"Okay, okay!" Lin Wanyue nodded.
Lin Zihan and Lin Ziqiu immediately straightened their backs. "Big brother, we're taking our little sister up the mountain to pick fruit!"
"Is the large-character calligraphy practice book finished?" Lin Zhongyuan asked without raising his eyelids.
"..." The two brothers' anger weakened a bit, but they still tried to argue, "No, big brother, you've assigned so many assignments, we definitely can't finish writing them all. You're just deliberately preventing us from taking our sister out to play!"
"It's your own fault for not finishing writing, and you still want to blame me?" Lin Zhongyuan knew his two younger brothers' thoughts perfectly well. They clearly just wanted to have fun, so they dragged Lin Wanyue into it to intimidate them.
Moreover, having experienced what happened with the Yu family, Lin Zhongyuan was somewhat afraid and dared not let his younger sister out of his sight.
Even though he knew that the villagers had been warned by the village head and shouldn't be so reckless, he was still cautious.
"Big brother, staying cooped up at home writing isn't good for your eyes." Lin Wanyue rested her slightly fluffy little head on Lin Zhongyuan's lap, her dark eyes bright and lively. She declared confidently, "Third-rate and fourth-rate brains are stupid. You need to go up the mountain and exercise more to become smarter!"
Lin Zihan: Waaaaah, so it turns out that in my sister's eyes I'm actually an idiot!
Lin Ziqiu: Although it hurts, it seems to be true.
Upon hearing this, the twins felt as if they had been stabbed in the heart with two arrows, but after thinking about it carefully, they realized that they were indeed not as good as Lin Wanyue in their studies, so they quickly felt relieved.
His younger sister is so smart, there aren't many people who can compare to her.
All they need to do is be smarter than everyone else!
"Hmm..." Lin Zhongyuan was silent for a moment, then instructed Lin Zihan and Lin Ziqiu, "I have no other requirements, but you must not let Wanwan out of your sight again."
This time they found their sister, but what about next time?
If it weren't for the help of those two powerful spirits, they wouldn't have had such good luck!
"Okay, okay!" Upon hearing their older brother's agreement, the two nodded vigorously and quickly went to pack their things.
Although they are just two little kids who are only five years old, they always remember to bring their little sickles and baskets when they go up the mountain, and they will bring back any good food they find.
Even if there's not much to eat, they'll bring back some dry branches to burn; they never come empty-handed!
The two little kids held hands and led Lin Wanyue, skipping and hopping together towards the eastern mountain they often visited.
…
This year's rainfall was much more abundant than last year, but it came late, and the crops in the fields grew much slower than in previous years, and are still green to this day.
The so-called "lean period" is actually even more difficult than before, but with water in the river, crops can grow, and everyone has hope, so life seems to be able to go on again.
Lin Zihan and Lin Ziqiu, carrying small baskets on their backs, actually found several ferns under the dead leaves, which were thanks to the rain a few days ago.
"Haha, I knew this was the time when mushrooms grow the most!" Lin Ziqiu found a big white mushroom and showed it off to his third brother and Lin Wanyue.
Mushrooms grow quickly, taste delicious, and can be preserved even if not eaten immediately by drying.
Aside from some types that, when eaten, might accidentally cause serious injury.
"Darling!" Lin Wanyue's eyes lit up, then she shouted, "I need to poop!"
"But my brother told us to keep an eye on you, so... how about we go with you?" Lin Zihan looked at Lin Wanyue with some difficulty.
"No, no!" Lin Wanyue immediately shook her head frantically.
Why?
"You can't look at a girl's poop!"
Just kidding, of course she wasn't really going to poop, but rather to get something out of her spatial storage to avoid Lin Zihan and Lin Ziqiu.
And even if she did go and pull them, she would never do it in front of these two little brats!
