Farming and reading family

But she didn't think much about it. There was no place they couldn't visit on this street.

Gao E was getting older and she felt tired after walking uphill for a while, which made her alert. If the epitaph said the same fate as Chen Ke, wouldn't that mean she would die after giving birth to the baby in her womb?

She couldn't do that. She had to protect the four cubs and let them grow up well.

"Let me help you." Chen Ke turned his head and saw Gao E struggling.

Gao E didn't act pretentiously and asked Chen Ke to support her: "By the way, Madam Hu came this morning, and Dad was very angry."

Chen Ke sighed slightly: "It should be because of Yu Ning's marriage."

After saying this, Chen Ke's heart skipped a beat.

In her previous life, when Yu Ning got married, he was in the capital. The last time he heard about Yu Ning was when she passed away.

However, she passed away two years after marrying into the Song family. For this reason, the normally silent sister-in-law went to the Song family and made a big fuss.

He didn't know what was going on, at that time he only wanted to go to high school.

"It's definitely not a good thing if Dad is angry. If the Song family is fickle, we can't let Yu Ning marry into their family." Gao E took the opportunity to say.

Chen Ke hesitated for a moment: "Yu Ning and the Song family's marriage was decided a long time ago. If we cancel the engagement now, what will happen to Yu Ning in the future?"

Gao E rolled her eyes in her heart: "You can't let Yu Ning jump into the fire pit knowing it's a fire pit."

Chen Ke was silent.

The two men breathed a sigh of relief when they arrived at the old village. There used to be some houses here, but all the usable things had been moved away, leaving only some stone walls.

Originally there was a river god temple here, but it was later moved downstairs.

"The view here is really nice." Gao E sat on a rock and looked at the big river in the distance.

Chen Ke also looked over: "Yeah." His tone was a little melancholy.

"But how do we get water?" Gao E thought it was a problem to get water from such a high place.

Chen Ke smiled and said, "The mountain behind us is called Black Pig Mountain, and the thing it has the most is springs."

Gao E looked at the road leading up. She thought a carriage should be able to go up, but it just couldn't carry much stuff.

After resting for a while, Chen Ke took Gao E and continued to walk inside.

"What do you think of this place?" Chen Ke chose the largest cave.

Gao E looked at it and shook her head: "The place is quite big, but it's not divided, and our family doesn't need such a large space."

There was a reason why Chen Ke wanted it to be so big. The river would burst its banks in two months, and he wanted to stock up on some things in advance.

"And it's not hidden at all." Gao E looked at the open mouth.

This sentence touched Chen Ke's heart: "Okay, then we'll see."

There are a number of stone caves here. In the early years, they were where the people who supervised the construction of the dam lived. They were all well excavated.

Gao E finally chose a cave closer to the inside because there were three caves here, the space inside was very large, the front of the cave was flat, and there was a spring on one side.

Chen Keli looked outside and saw that people coming up the mountain often stopped here, and there were no wild animals around. "Okay."

After they chose a cave, they went home together.

This cave belongs to the village, so Chen Ke needs to talk to the villagers about it.

Gao E listened to Chen Ke's explanation and nodded: "If the price is not high, just buy it."

Chen Ke was surprised: "Are you planning to buy it?"

He knew that Gao E spent money lavishly.

"It's not easy for our family to move. If we buy a house, we can plan it slowly." Gao E analyzed.

Chen Ke thought of another reason.

If a flood really happens, the people in Batou Village will definitely have to run to higher places, and their rented houses may be evicted.

"Okay." Chen Ke nodded.

It was still light when the two of them got home. Chen Xichen drove the chickens into the chicken coop, and the rest of them played in the yard.

Dengke and Jidi stood still subconsciously when they saw their mother coming back.

"Let's play." Gao E smiled helplessly.

Chen Ke took the silver and went to the headman's house, and Gao E began to think about moving upstairs.

Chen Fansheng saw Gao E come back and sit in the room without moving. He walked to her door with his hands behind his back and said, "There's no life in your eyes."

Gao E ignored her cheap eunuch's sarcastic tone and wondered whether Chen Ke was willing to take out his silver. If not, it would depend on how much the things in his hand could be sold for.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to go digging herbs or hunting, but her big belly doesn’t allow her to do so.

Moreover, ordinary herbs are very cheap, and the expensive ones grow in remote places. If you don’t have the ability, you can just deliver them.

After a while, Chen Xichen ran over.

"Aunt, where is the fire starter in the kitchen? Grandpa told me to boil water first." Chen Xichen said timidly.

Gao E didn't know what to say, so she got up and went to the kitchen.

Chen Fansheng glanced at Gao E under the eaves and turned to go into the main room.

Gao E breathed a sigh of relief. Her father-in-law was almost about to have someone move the altar table to enshrine him.

The bone soup in the pot was cooked by her at noon. The stove was filled with firewood, and the bone soup was still hot.

She scooped up some rice, washed it, and poured it into the bone soup, then went to wash the dried vegetables that had been soaked at noon.

The wild vegetables at home were all picked by Hanyue and Xichen. Today, Hanyue went into the mountains and Xichen had to take care of the children at home, so no one went to pick wild vegetables.

Besides, at this time of year, there aren't many wild vegetables out there.

Just as I finished cooking these, the gate of the yard was kicked open.

"Be careful, be careful..." Chen Jie led the way.

"He fell like this almost down the mountain." Jiang grumbled dissatisfiedly.

Chen Qing carried his daughter on his back without saying a word. Yang carried a basket on his back and held a basket in front, following behind with difficulty.

Duokui and Gaoxian walked last without saying a word. This was their first time going into the mountains, and they finally understood how hard it was.

"What's wrong?" Gao E came out from the kitchen.

"Yu Ning fell." Lei was also very concerned.

"Then call a doctor quickly." Gao E hurriedly put a bench aside.

"Why call a doctor? She's just a little girl who just fell down." Chen Fansheng came out from the main room.

"That's right." Jiang immediately agreed, "The place where he fell wasn't very high."

"But my sister is unconscious," Chen Hanyue cried, "and she's bleeding a lot."

"Go and get a doctor right away." Gao E looked at Chen Hanyue.

Chen Hanyue turned around and was about to run.

"You're not allowed to go!" Chen Fansheng scolded. "The matchmaker came today and said the Song family would only give three taels of silver as a betrothal gift."

Everyone fell silent as he said this.

"She is from the Song family anyway, why spend that money?" Chen Fansheng glanced at Chen Yuning.

"Dad?" Chen Qing couldn't believe it.

"Go get a doctor!" Gao E raised her voice. "I'll pay for it."

When Chen Hanyue heard that Gao E was going to give money, she ran away.

The quarrels among the family members are all about money.

"You pay? What can you pay with? It's still my son's money." Chen Fansheng's forehead veins bulged as he spoke, but his voice was just a little louder.
