An Zi was very confident about his new job, at least he could show some additional value. Otherwise, he would think that he was just trying to earn more money from his brothers, but luckily for him, there was still work to do, and as long as there were other jobs, he would not be working for nothing.
"Hurry up and wash your hands. What are you standing around for? There's no need to rush up the mountain."
Zhang Liu had just come out from the kitchen, so she did not notice Chun Wen talking to An Zi. She thought that her daughter was standing at the table in a daze.
"I'm going to go wash now."
Lin Chunnuan turned around and went into the courtyard. Dou Wang had already finished helping the two small ones wash their hands, and had also prepared a basin of water for Spring Warm. Seeing that Spring Warm had left the room, he immediately called her over to wash.
"Hurry up, we're late today."
Although he didn't spend too much time on it, Dou Wang was a very principled person. After getting used to a rule, he always wanted to follow it and didn't want to break it.
"Okay, let's crawl faster today and make it back in time."
Lin Chunnuan was not anxious at all, but she also wanted to return early and take advantage of her family's lack of people to get the tea leaves out. Although Minzi uncle and the rest were not talkative, it was better to not talk about it too much.
"Our daily climbing speed is already fast enough, so don't be in such a hurry. I'm just asking you to move a little faster. Don't try to be brave when you climb the mountain."
Hearing Lin Chunnuan say that she needed to quickly climb the mountain, Dou Wang started to feel sorry for the little girl again.
"It doesn't matter. Just take it as training. After a few days, when we get used to the mountain road, I'll just pack two sandbags. We'll tie them to our legs and carry them on our feet. It's good for our bodies."
Lin Chunnuan had tied a sandbag in her previous life before, so she thought back to when she was acting like a scumbag and had really done a lot of stupid things.
To say that he was exercising his body, Dou Wang was actually able to support it.
"Sure, I'll do whatever you say."
Dou Wang was always the one who supported Lin Chunnuan the most, he could listen to every word she said in his heart and remember it.
Even Chun Xiao had little spots on his body as he started to practice. Lin Chunnuan and Dou Wang carried the things on their backs that they had prepared beforehand and hastily went up the mountain. Lin Chunnuan did what she said, and climbed the mountain at a faster speed, but still, she was panting from exhaustion.
After checking that there was no danger in the surrounding area, he went to pick the mint. It was just that the great leopard did not come today, which made Dou Wang very nervous and worried that something would happen to the great leopard. Otherwise, it would come to see him every time he went up the mountain.
As he was harvesting mint, he was worrying, but the mint had already been harvested and the great leopard did not appear. This caused Dou Wang to be extremely worried, and he lingered around the mint bush for a while.
"What happened? Why are you so dispirited?"
Seeing that Dou Wang was back, Lin Chunnuan came out from the garden to welcome him.
"The great leopard didn't come today."
Lin Chunnuan hurriedly looked behind Dou Wang. Sure enough, there were no great leopard s around. This time, even Lin Chunnuan was a little anxious.
"It shouldn't be, it's time to change the medicine for it, the great leopard should appear, will something happen to it?"
When he said that, Lin Chunnuan really wanted to slap himself. What kind of mouth was that, how could he spout nonsense, how could he talk about such nonsense about great leopard s.
Lin Chunnuan wasn't the only one who thought of ideas, but since the matter involved something that she was concerned about, she subconsciously didn't want to say those unlucky words.
"great leopard is so smart, it should be fine, don't worry, maybe he went far today and didn't come back."
Lin Chunnuan could only think of this, but she was already rather absent-minded when she was picking the tea, and would throw the leaves of the tea tree into the basket a few times. Luckily, because of the difference in feel, she reacted when she threw the leaves into the basket, and quickly picked up the leaves again.
However, she started to concentrate. One had to know that the prices of the tea leaves were very high. If there were some tea leaves inside, then their goods would really become stalls and no one would want them.
As soon as he gathered his energy, his movements quickened, his hands and feet picking the tea leaves, the two of them walked down the mountain, looking at the sky, the time was not much different from yesterday, it was just that the two of them were looking around, but in the end, they did not send their Great cheetah out.
After returning home, the two of them went to play with Little Spot for a while before washing their hands and going back to work. Zhang Liu also noticed that the two of them acted a little weirdly, under normal circumstances, spring heat was their first priority.
"Warm Spring, do you have something to say? If you have something to say, can you tell mom?"
Zhang Liu was afraid that his daughter would encounter something on the mountain, would she be scared? Thinking of this, Zhang Liu even had the urge to tell her daughter not to go up the mountain, it was too dangerous.
However, she could not say these words aloud. The expenses of her family depended entirely on her daughter going up the mountain to gather tea to maintain. She could not say that she did not want to go up the mountain, but she had already made up her mind.
Mother, I'm fine, really, don't worry, it's just that I'm in a bad mood for a while and will be gone soon, probably because I'm tired. When I went up the mountain, I was half running up.
These words were half-truths, but because they were half-truths, they sounded quite believable.
"Oh, so it's like that. Mom thought you had encountered something."
Hearing that he was not scared, Zhang Liu finally relaxed a little, but she did not want to worry about him anymore.
"Spring and Warm, in the future, mother will follow you up the mountain. Every morning, the family doesn't have much work, it's just washing clothes, plucking the grass in the backyard garden, and we'll muddle through the entire morning. I might as well follow you up the mountain, and I can also help you out, didn't Second Young Master Liu say that our family's tea production is still too little, it's not enough for him to make things."
This was something that Second Young Master Liu had occasionally talked about while eating breakfast. Zhang Liu, on the other hand, had heard this sentence before, coincidentally used it at this time.
"Won't I be able to gather more tea when I follow you in the future?"
"Mother, there's no need, at least leave someone to look after the house, there's still Chun Xiao who has no one to look after him."
Thinking about how his younger brother was tied up in the house and couldn't get out of it, Lin Chunnuan was extremely reluctant.
Sometimes, the little guy couldn't hold back his pee, because no one would care about him and he would just pee in his pants. When he returned home, his lower leg would be covered with urine and his skin would be wrinkled and turn white.
It's fine if you guys don't work, but it's fine to help look after your little brother. He's so young, but no one cares about his little brother at all.
Sometimes, when Chun Xiao ran into the courtyard without being tied up, not only did they not know how to take care of him, they also knew how to bully him. A two year old child was also their own, how could they possibly bully him?
After that, Lin Chunnuan really hated Zhang Liu's weakness. If it was her who was standing at the side, she would have been the one to avenge her brother even if she said that she had suffered a huge loss.
Now that he heard that his mother wanted to follow him up the mountain, Lin Chunnuan's first reaction was that nothing was as important as his safety. She would definitely not leave her brother alone at home, even with Little Spot accompanying her, since her brother had secretly ran out with Little Spot yesterday, so she definitely had to leave someone at home to watch over Chun Xiao.
Spring Warm, with your Grandmother Qian here, your Grandmother Qian and Chun Jiao digging vegetables is only for the sake of taking care of Chun Jiao. Although there are around thirty chickens here, they are too small, so they can't eat too many vegetables.
can go dig for vegetables herself, and have your Grandmother Qian accompany Chun Xiao at home, and I can still cook breakfast. For lunch, I can prepare all the dishes that I want, and your Grandmother Qian can only cook for me, but it should be okay. How many times has she told me that I need to help my family?
Now that his words had reached this point, Lin Chunnuan also noticed his mother's determination to follow him up the mountain. It looks like his mood today had indeed frightened her mother.
Mother, you don't have to worry about me, it's just that I don't have a good mood today because I didn't see any great leopard on the mountain. Normally, it would come find me and Wangzhige, but since I didn't see it today, the two of us were worried that something had happened to it.
Originally, she was concerned about her daughter and was afraid that she would face danger on top of the mountain. Since she took advantage of this matter today, she must definitely accompany her daughter and go up the mountain. Naturally, she had to go up the mountain, then Zhang Liu hoped that she would at least face the danger in front of her daughter and help her daughter a bit.
"Warm Spring, no matter what, I have decided to accompany you up the mountain. As for the matter at home, I will leave it to your Grandmother Qian, she can sleep for a little bit every night now, although it still hasn't been a long time, but she's finally getting better, helping us to manage the house, it should not be a problem."
It's not that I'm worried about her digging alone. Back in the old house, there was nothing I could do about it, I can't say anything about it. Now that I have made my own decision, I don't want her children to take any more risks.
Lin Chunnuan immediately understood how his mother felt about him when she heard she said she was worried about Chun Jiao. She was afraid that she would run into danger on the mountain, so maybe her mother insisted that she was in danger and didn't want her children to get into trouble.
"Alright, Mother. Then, let's go up the mountain together."
"Mom, sister, you don't have to worry about me. I can dig for myself in the wild. In the past, I was always digging for myself, picking firewood. And now, I'm running really fast. If there really is a bad guy, they won't be able to catch up to me."
Chun Jiao heard the conversation between his mother and sister, and couldn't help but interject. His mother was worried about his sister, and she was the same as well, so she wanted her mother and sister to be at ease.
