"Second sister-in-law, breakfast is ready."

Lu Lan, wearing a light blue dress and a hairband of the same color, knocked on Li Jiaojiao's door.

From time to time, her little hands would adjust the hem of her clothes and touch the headband on her head, her heart full of joy.

You can wear new clothes during the Chinese New Year, and there are so many beautiful headbands.

The dress she wore today was made of fine linen; the two cotton ones were more comfortable, and she was going to save them for the New Year.

squeak~

As the door opened, Li Jiaojiao, dressed in a dark green dress, walked out.

"Good morning, Lanlan..."

A crisp voice came, interrupting Lu Lan's thoughts.

When Lu Lan looked up and saw Li Jiaojiao, she couldn't take her eyes away.

How should she describe the person in front of her?

“No painting can describe its elegance, and no flower can compare to its beauty.”

You're talking about my second sister-in-law.

My second sister-in-law is so beautiful today, and she and my second brother are a perfect match.

Li Jiaojiao: …………

Why is this girl a little bit strange today? She looks dull.

Until Li Jiaojiao walked past Lu Lan and touched Lu Lan's head.

Lu Lancai ran into the main room with a blushing face.

She actually stared at her second sister-in-law in a daze, how embarrassing.

Li Jiaojiao had a simple breakfast and had a good sleep last night, so she felt unusual for a while.

She hasn't even been around yet.

The original owner and her mother were also a weird pair.

After settling in Qingshan Village for so long, he didn't buy any land or go up the mountain except for the house. He just lived on the savings of the original owner's mother.

The original owner hardly ever went out.

"You want to go up the mountain?"

Under Chen Ruolan's puzzled gaze, Li Jiaojiao changed the subject and said, "I've never been there before."

Chen Ruolan suddenly realized that Jiaojiao was still young and had seldom gone out before. Now that she was no longer restrained by her mother, it was normal for her to want to go out for a walk.

"Then I'll go with you." Chen Ruolan wiped her hands on the hem of her clothes.

Start to take off your coat.

The kitchen had just been cleaned up.

"No need. I can just follow Lu Lin and Lu Lan." Li Jiaojiao pointed at Lu Lan who was sitting on the doorstep and Lu Lin who was holding a basket in one hand.

They have already discussed it privately.

From then on, they took her with them whenever they went up the mountains, into the fields, or down to the river.

There is usually not much work to do in the fields during this season, so many people go up the mountain every day.

Women would choose to go to the river to wash clothes when the sun is shining.

She was tired of lying in bed every day, so she now locked the door every night and went to sleep in her space.

In fact, she knew that the Lu family members were very well-behaved and would not enter her room.

But just in case, she would still lock the door, so that if there was any noise outside, she could come out in time to avoid being caught by someone in her act.

If you get enough sleep, you will naturally feel bored.

After feeding the chickens, fish, rabbits, sheep, cats and dogs in the yard every day, there is nothing else to do.

She couldn't stay in the yard during the day, so she urgently needed to go out for a walk.

"You can go out for a walk, but remember not to go deep into the mountains. It's dangerous there. The hunters in the village don't dare to set foot there easily. They go there in groups."

Chen Ruolan thought about it and said that she was just anxious just now. Although Jiaojiao looked young, she was actually a person with her own ideas. It was wrong for her to always subconsciously treat her as a child.

If she follows others in everything, she will feel uncomfortable and restrained.

"Also, you have just recovered from a serious illness, so you should walk within your ability. Take a rest when you are tired, and don't go picking wild vegetables or fruits. It is most important for you to take good care of your health."

"You two also have to take good care of your second sister-in-law, okay?" Chen Ruolan said to the two little ones.

These two younger brothers and sisters have always been a worry-free person, but it is still inevitable to give them some instructions. No matter how worry-free they are, they are still children.

"I understand, sister-in-law." Lu Lin and Lu Lan responded in unison.

…………

In the mountains in late autumn, many leaves have fallen.

The road up the mountain was covered with thick fallen leaves, and the three people's footsteps made a constant crunching sound.

Looking around, there were also groups of half-grown children carrying baskets, looking for something...

"Second sister-in-law, we've been here two days ago, and we've almost dug up all the wild vegetables. Let's go a little further inside."

Lu Lin was carrying a basket and walking in front of the two of them, scratching the road under his feet with a small stick as he spoke.

He often comes to the mountain, so there is actually no need for him to explore the way. But today is the first day that his second sister-in-law follows him up the mountain, so to be on the safe side, he decides to explore the way.

It wasn't that there was any danger. Almost everyone in the village had walked here, so he was just in case there was a pit and he accidentally sprained his ankle.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Li Jiaojiao was trying hard to regulate her breathing.

Her body was still too weak. She had only been walking for a short while, but she felt like her soul was about to leave her body.

Fortunately, Lu Lin in front stopped after walking for a while.

She quickly found a place under a tree with thicker leaves and sat down.

Lu Lin and Lu Lan looked at their second sister-in-law with amusement.

This sister-in-law is really casual, but her casualness does not annoy people. Instead, it makes people want to get close to her and makes people feel that she is down-to-earth and amiable.

"I'll take a break. You can do whatever you want. Don't worry about me. But let's not go out of each other's sight, okay?" Li Jiaojiao asked with a smile.

Although she is only thirteen years old now physically, she still has the years of her previous life.

It is her job to go out and take good care of the two little ones.

Lu Lin and Lu Lan both nodded, and then separated to look for any wild vegetables and fruits.

Li Jiaojiao leaned against the tree and rested for a while before opening her eyes.

She had used her special powers to detect the situation around them. If they continued like this, they might have to pick up some dry firewood and go home, because there were no edible wild vegetables or fruits in this area.

This is not okay.

Li Jiaojiao concentrated and placed her hands on the tree behind her. There was no change on the ground, but the roots of the tree underground had become thicker and tougher, and extended far away...

Lu Lan was using a shovel to knock on the dirt on the ground, but there was really nothing to dig.

"Huh~"

What did she find?

He threw away the small shovel in his hand and quickly dug a few times with his hands.

After seeing what it was, he quickly grabbed it and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, come here quickly. Brother, sister-in-law..."

"…What treasure is this?" Lu Lin's voice was full of helplessness, but he still picked up the basket on the ground and walked towards Lu Lan.

My sister always does this no matter what she finds.

She would call him that whenever she found anything she thought interesting, and he was used to it.

I was very anxious at first, thinking something had happened, but it would pass eventually, and I wasn’t anxious anymore.

Li Jiaojiao withdrew her hands from the tree and stood up. Well, she was not in a hurry because she couldn't run away anyway.

When the two of them came over, Lu Lan was already kneeling on the ground, almost falling down.

She was anxious, but she didn't dare shout any louder.

Firstly, she was afraid of calling other people, and secondly, she had not paid attention to the positions of her second sister-in-law and brother.

What if they were far away and she shouted urgently, and the two men thought something had happened to her and rushed over in a hurry, and she fell down?

"Why haven't you come yet?" Lu Lan knelt on the ground, hands still holding her head, and turned her head to look for someone.

“Puff—.”

Lu Lin and Li Jiaojiao couldn't help laughing when they saw Lu Lan lying on the ground with her butt sticking up.

"Brother, second sister-in-law, you are here, come on, look at what this is."
