Gu Wan looked at her strangely, and since there was nothing unusual in what she said, she nodded.

"That won't delay you. Go ahead. I already know what it is like. I'll look for it myself when the time comes."

"It's nothing serious. I just forgot whether I had the lid on the fire or not."

At this time, everyone uses firewood to cook. In order not to waste firewood for starting the fire, people usually take out the firewood after cooking.

Leave some unburned charcoal in it, and after cooking, cover it with a thick layer of ash.

This way, the next time you cook, just remove the ash on top and the charcoal underneath will be almost the same as when you left it.

There is no need to waste matches to start the fire. Just put some dry firewood and it will burn with a slight blow.

"Oh, I see! Then go check it out!"

Fang Ping nodded, without ever looking back in the direction of Gu Wan, Cao Yanni and the others, and left in a hurry.

After Gu Wan could no longer see him, he slowed down and walked slowly towards the village.

Cao Yanni glanced in the direction Fang Ping left, and as if she had done something wrong, she lowered her head and looked at her toes.

His fingers kept stirring on the hem of the clothes.

"Why are you here?"

Gu Wan smiled at Cao Dongnan, then looked at Cao Yanni strangely.

"Hello, Gu Zhiqing." Cao Dongnan walked forward, pulled up the strap of the backpack, and then followed Gu Wan's line of sight and looked at his sister.

Seeing that she was in a low mood, his eyes flickered and he walked forward and put his hand on his sister's shoulder.

"Yanni, Gu Zhiqing is here."

Cao Yanni staggered when she was slapped, but she was not angry when she heard Gu Wan's name. She raised her wet eyes and looked at her.

"Sister Gu!"

"Hello, what happened?"

She seemed quite happy when I greeted her before, why did she suddenly become so unhappy?

Gu Wan was guessing in her heart but didn't show it on her face.

"No, nothing. Why doesn't sister come to play with us?"

The little person raised his head, and the crisp voice sounded unusually clear in the mountains and forests.

Without waiting for Gu Wan to answer, Cao Dongnan looked at his sister as if she were a fool. "Yanni, what are you talking about? Gu Zhiqing is an adult, and adults have many things to do."

After saying that, he rolled his eyes, turned his head to the side, and began to look around to see if there was anything he could take back.

It's the same for everyone who goes out. Generally, whenever they go out, they never go out empty-handed. It's also good to bring some wild vegetables or a piece of firewood.

"Oh, so that's it!" Cao Yanni sighed and lowered her head, as if she had just realized something.

"What are you doing here?"

Gu Wan looked at the two people's hands in confusion. One hand held firewood, and the other hand held wild vegetables? Or weeds? There was also a backpack on their backs.

What on earth are you doing? You can't be playing, right?

Cao Dongnan shook the pig grass on his back twice with his shoulders. The backpack on his back swayed with his movement, and the backpack was full of green grass leaves.

"We're here to pick grass for pigs, and we'll bring some wild vegetables back." After saying that, he seemed to feel it would be awkward not to say something at this time, so he casually asked, "Where's Gu Zhiqing?"

Gu Wan nodded. When she heard his question, she looked a little discouraged. Her expression was like that of a little child.

Anyway, in the eyes of the two siblings, adults would definitely not speak to them in such a discouraging tone. They would just answer their questions selectively without any explanation.

"I came out to look for wild vegetables, but I didn't find any."

Cao Dongnan was surprised for a moment, raised his chin, and glanced at the basket held by Gu Wan. There were only two or three scallions in it, so he said casually:

"Gu Zhiqing likes eating chives?"

Hearing him say this, Gu Wan scratched her temples unconsciously.

"Yes!" Gu Wan followed Cao Dongnan's gaze, turned her head to look at her basket, and smiled embarrassedly.

"I was going to dig some up and plant them, but I couldn't find any."

"Sister Gu wants to find wild vegetables, and we know where they are!"

"Really?" Gu Wan's eyes lit up. She had almost given up, but she had an unexpected surprise. "Can you take me with you to have a look?"

Cao Yanni and Cao Dongnan looked at each other, Cao Yanni pursed her lips and smiled:

"Of course, my brother and I go there often." Cao Yanni turned her head to look at Cao Dongnan. The light was against her, so she could only squint to see people.

"Brother, please send the things back first. I will take Gu Zhiqing with me."

Cao Dongnan glanced at his sister who was only as tall as his chest, and felt a little worried about leaving her alone with the educated youth.

He looked up at Gu Wan again, and seeing that she looked calm, hesitant for a moment, her cheeks puffed up.

"Then I'll trouble Gu Zhiqing to keep an eye on my sister. That area is close to the water. I'll come find you right after I deliver the things."

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm sorry to bother you. You go ahead. Yanni and I will walk slowly. I don't have anything to do today. Do you think it's okay for us to meet up somewhere later?"

Gu Wan also knew that she was not very familiar with them, so it was normal for her to be worried.

I am very grateful that you still took me there even though I was worried. I don't have anything to do today, so I can walk slowly and it will be better if we can go together then.

Hearing her say this, Cao Dongnan no longer had anything to worry about. He gave Cao Yanni a few instructions and decided not to collect firewood anymore.

He picked up the backpack and started running towards home.

Gu Wan and Cao Yanni looked away at the same time, and Gu Wan squatted down. "Yanni, how about I carry you on my back? Your brother has to go back to deliver something, so let's walk slowly over there, shall we?"

"Sister Gu, no need, no need. I know the place. It's okay. I can walk very quickly."

"Just let me carry you. I want to carry you. Yanni is so cute. Can I carry you on my back?"

Although the children here start crawling and rolling on the ground at a very young age, and even start doing a lot of things at a very young age.

But in her impression, children of four or five years old in later generations were either carried in arms or traveled in strollers or something like that.

Even if I leave, I won’t be willing to go too far.

The distance from the village to here is not short. This piece of land is wasteland. A few years ago, it was a large mountain here.

Later, after the trees on the mountain were cut down, they were prepared to turn them over and plant crops.

It’s just that there are too many things to do in the village, and land reclamation can only be done step by step. It cannot be done in one go. It is also impossible that you can reclaim the land today and plant it right away.

After clearing the land, you have to cultivate it, otherwise you won’t be able to grow any good crops on the rocky land.
