A Happy Farmhouse: After becoming the group's favorite, the whole family rises

When setting out, Tian Danian had already anticipated that they would have to stay overnight in the wild.

When he left home, his things were fully prepared.

He asked his wife to prepare in advance a small iron pot, flint, water, food, and a thin quilt - everything needed for spending the night outdoors.

Tian Danian used to work as a security guard in a wealthy family and had traveled back and forth between the provincial capital and Pinglin County several times.

At that time, we all rode in horse-drawn carriages. If we set out before dawn, we would definitely arrive before nightfall.

But now, they are riding on a donkey cart, which is definitely a bit slower in terms of speed. After a night's rest, they will set off again tomorrow morning. It is estimated that they will reach the city before noon.

After drinking a bowl of warm water, Tian Xiaoman felt that his tired body had been relieved a lot.

Tian Danian was making a pot of hot soup with dried mushrooms and dried vegetables in it, and it smelled quite good.

Shitou and Xiaochun had already let the three alpacas down from the carriage, and were now feeding them with hay.

Tian Xiaoman had nothing to do, so he sat under a big tree four or five meters away from his father.

As soon as she sat down, a stone rolled to her feet.

"Eh? Could it be that even stones have become spirits these days? How come they rolled over here on their own?"

Before Tian Xiaoman could finish her sigh, another stone rolled over from the same direction and stopped at her feet.

She looked in the direction where the stone was rolling, and then she realized what was going on.

It wasn't a stone spirit at all, it was clearly a fat mouse hiding behind a tree and throwing stones at her.

Tian Xiaoman understood. It seemed that it was not only them who were hungry, but also a mouse.

Tian Xiaoman turned around and looked at Tian Danian, "Dad, are the pancakes ready? Give me half first."

"Girl, are you hungry? The pancakes have just been put into the pot, I guess they are not hot enough yet, why don't you wait a little longer?"

"It's okay! Dad, I'll just have a bite first and won't eat too much."

"Okay, okay, here you go."

Tian Danian had no choice but to agree to his little girl's request. He simply picked up a pancake on the edge of the iron pan, tore it in half, and handed the half that he felt was warmer to Tian Xiaoman.

Tian Xiaoman walked back to the tree and seeing that his father was no longer paying attention to him, he secretly waved to Fat Hui.

Fat Hui's eyes lit up and his gaze was fixed on the pancake in Tian Xiaoman's hand.

"Is this all for me?"

Tian Xiaoman nodded. Pang Hui and the others had contributed a lot to the family's affairs over the past few times, so half a sugar cake was nothing.

She used her body to block Tian Danian's sight, tore the pancake into small pieces, and secretly threw them in front of Fat Hui.

"Eat slowly!"

The cannon fodder was almost crying for joy. It felt that Xiaoman was the best person in the world to it.

This is a sugar cake, not everyone would be willing to take it out.

If you ask Pang Hui what he likes most in his life, one is sesame oil and the other is white sugar.

Wuwuwu——

Fat Gray decided that from today on, Xiaoman would be its reborn parent.

"Xiao Man, you are so nice to me! Can I call you mom?"

Tian Xiaoman, who was drinking water, sprayed water.

"That's not necessary! Just call me Xiaoman."

She couldn't bear the call of "mother". Who would want to have such a big son? And a rat son at that!

"Are you full?"

Fat Gray ate very quickly, and in a short while half of the sugar cake was in his stomach.

It patted its round belly, and its contented look was very adorable.

"I'm full, but if you give me another half of the sugar cake, I can still eat it!"

Tian Xiaoman rolled his eyes helplessly. Why were other mice so thin while this one was so fat? Maybe that was how it got all the fat on its body?

Even though you are full, you still force yourself to stuff food into your stomach when you see something delicious!

"Don't be greedy, there are still a lot of cakes. If you want to eat more, I will get you more in the evening."

Fat Gray was satisfied, "Okay, then I'll go back to sleep."

Sleeping after eating is the greatest enjoyment in a mouse’s life.

Fat Gray squeaked and ran towards the donkey cart parked on the side.

At this moment, Shitou and Xiaochun had finished feeding several alpacas and returned to the iron pot to wait for lunch.

We had a quick bite and then hurriedly got back into the car and continued on our journey.

When they set off again, Tian Danian drove the car much faster.

But even so, when the sun set, they were still on the official road.

"I've been here before. I know there's a cliff at the fork in the road ahead. There are a few caves under the cliff. We can rest there tonight."

When they are away from home, Tian Xiaoman and his siblings naturally listen to their father.

The road forked to the left, and Tian Danian drove the donkey cart off the official road. After walking for some distance, the donkey cart stopped.

"We're here, come on down, Dad will light a fire and let's get some warm."

Tian Xiaoman got out of the car and looked around. Just as Tian Danian said, this place was under a cliff. Due to the obstruction of the cliff, the northwest wind could hardly reach here. It was much warmer here than on the official road.

There are indeed several caves of different sizes under the cliff. The entrances to the caves are very clean. I guess there are people who usually stay here overnight.

Tian Danian found a relatively large cave and checked it. Seeing that there was no danger inside, he spread the mattress and thin blanket he brought from home in the cave.

After doing all this, Tian Danian lit a fire at the entrance of the cave.

The entrance of the cave is not big, so a fire can effectively heat up the cave and block the invasion of wild beasts.

"Boss, go find some more wood or branches nearby. There is a sickle in the car. Try to pick the thickest ones. We can't put out this fire at night."

"Second brother, feed those alpacas some grass and don't let them come down at night. If something happens at night, we can set off in time."

Seeing that his father had not assigned him any tasks, Tian Xiaoman couldn't help but ask, "Dad, do you want me to help my brother find some branches or something?"

"No need! Your elder brother is a rough man, he should do these heavy work. If you don't want to lie down, go to the fire and warm yourself."

After more than half an hour, the old men all held their bowls and drank the hot rice porridge.

"There's some dried meat in the backpack that your mother brought for us. Boss, go get some."

It was early autumn, and Tian Danian hunted a few rabbits in the mountains. The family could not eat them all at once, and fearing that they would go bad after a long time, Wang smoked them into jerky.

This time when they went out, Wang brought some for the guys so they could have some meat to eat during the journey.

Da da da--

There seemed to be some sound in the distance.

"Dad, listen!"

We were all drinking porridge, but when we heard Shitou say that, we all stopped drinking and listened attentively.

It's already dark now and we're in the wilderness, so any noise will naturally be magnified infinitely.

"Like the sound of horse hooves—"

Tian Danian narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

In the darkness of the night, it was difficult to see clearly, but as the sound got closer, a vague outline gradually became clear in front of everyone.

"Dad, there's a carriage coming!"
