Travel to the mountains and make a fortune in silence

However, this slide is smaller than the one in my previous life, with only two lanes.

But for the children, this was enough to keep them entertained, and they often brought the neighborhood children over to play together.

"You're really going to give me the slide?" Zhuangzhuang stared wide-eyed at Ping An'an with a suspicious look on his face, half believing his words and half doubting them. Ping An'an treasured the slide very much!

"Brother Zhuangzhuang, it's true!" Pingping patted her chest and assured him, "It's not just the slide, I have lots and lots of other toys I can give you too!"

All of Ping An's toys were carefully designed by Wang Qing'er based on her own memory. Each one is full of novelty and fun, making the children love them.

Jingyi had previously suggested that she hire a carpenter to open a toy shop, saying the business would definitely be booming.

Wang Qing'er just smiled and said that she wasn't good at it, but she racked her brains to draw some drawings because she saw that the children liked them.

"Brother Zhuangzhuang, haven't you always wanted my big teddy bear?" An'an walked up to Zhuangzhuang carrying a big teddy bear. As she spoke, she handed her most beloved teddy bear to Zhuangzhuang without hesitation. "Here you go, Brother Zhuangzhuang!"

Mother told An'an that the doll was too big and inconvenient to take to the capital. She would make her a new doll that was exactly the same when they got there.

Only then did An'an reluctantly give her beloved teddy bear to Zhuangzhuang.

"You're all so kind to be safe and sound!"

Zhuangzhuang was so excited that he danced around, happy that he would soon have so many fun toys!

Especially the slide he had always longed for; he had coveted it for a long time and had even considered asking his father to move it back to their yard.

But his mother told Zhuangzhuang that the slide belonged to his younger siblings and that he couldn't bring it home.

His mother comforted him, saying that if he wanted to play in the future, he could come to his younger siblings' house to play together anytime.

Zhuangzhuang himself also owns many toys, but they pale in comparison to the novel toys of the twins.

Wang Qing'er had considered building a slide for Zhuangzhuang, but then she thought that in her previous life, such slides were usually placed in public areas such as parks and kindergartens for everyone to play on.

If a slide were placed in the Wu family's house, Zhuangzhuang would probably find it boring to play on it alone.

Therefore, Wang Qing'er eventually gave up on this idea.

Anyway, Zhuangzhuang comes to play with the twins every day, so it's more lively and fun when everyone plays together.

The three children were excitedly running around the house, sharing toys.

On the other side, Wang Qing'er pulled Jingyi into the pavilion and sat down.

Before long, the maidservant quickly brought over exquisite pastries and fragrant tea.

Jingyi picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and then sighed softly. With a worried look on her face, she said to Wang Qing'er, "Sister-in-law, you and Muxia have both gone to the capital. The thought of having no one to talk to after you leave makes me feel like I've swallowed a whole bottle of mixed emotions."

Wang Qing'er smiled slightly: "Jingyi, you can go play with Yu'er during this time. Once I've settled in the capital, you can take Zhuangzhuang with you to the capital."

Upon hearing this, Jingyi scoffed dismissively, "Forget it, sister-in-law, she doesn't have time for me! She's just a blockhead!"

Jingyi was silent for a moment, then continued, "Sister-in-law, I always hear people outside say how great Beijing is, but I think our county is better. Life is more comfortable here. I won't go to Beijing."

"Don't you want to go to the capital? Zhuangzhuang will need to study in the future, so it would be better for him to go to the capital." Wang Qing'er was quite surprised by Jingyi's words. She had never asked Jingyi if she wanted to go, and she was thinking of bringing them over after Jingyi settled down there.

After all, the Wu brothers were her right-hand men.

Jingyi looked at Wang Qing'er, shook her head firmly, and said very seriously, "Sister-in-law, I really don't want to go to the capital. I just want to stay in this small town and live a comfortable life. The capital is too unfamiliar to me."

Jingyi sighed softly and said slowly, "As for Zhuangzhuang's studies, it depends on whether he has the talent. Lishan Academy in the county town is also a good option."

Wang Qing'er could only smile and say, "We'll talk about your trip to the capital later."

Making a living in the capital might be a bit tough, but there are many high-ranking officials and wealthy people there, so there are definitely more opportunities to make money than in this small county town.

If one is quick-witted and lucky enough to make a lot of money, returning to one's hometown will be a triumphant return, full of glory.

So many people are desperate to get in, but she didn't expect Jingyi to be an exception and unwilling to go.

Jingyi now has a considerable amount of money, surely tens of thousands of taels. She can buy a nice house in the capital and open two vegetable shops. With the vegetables and fruits supplied by her farm, her life won't be bad.

How could she not want to go?

Sigh, let's talk about it later. Maybe she'll see the light someday!

"Jingyi, Zhuangzhuang is already three years old. Haven't you thought about having another child?" Wang Qing'er asked, changing the subject.

This wasn't a topic Wang Qing'er wanted to discuss; she was only asked about it because Zhou had asked her to.

Upon hearing this, Jingyi's face flushed red. She gently pursed her lips and looked at the tea in her cup. "Sister-in-law, with my constitution, I dare not have another child."

Jingyi felt a chill run down her spine at the thought of how chubby she would look after giving birth to Zhuangzhuang.

Although I've lost weight now, I still suffered a lot.

“That’s true. If you don’t want to have another child, then don’t. Zhuangzhuang is enough.” Wang Qing’er also remembered Jingyi’s condition after giving birth to Zhuangzhuang and really couldn’t bear to let her suffer again.

She thought she would tell Zhou about this before she left.

At dawn, just as the sky began to lighten, a dozen carriages loaded with goods and luggage slowly departed from the Mu residence.

Wang Qing'er looked at her children who were still fast asleep and tucked them in.

Then I lifted the curtains and looked at the shops on the street. Occasionally I could see a few people walking hurriedly on the street.

She lived in this small county for several years, but didn't seem to have developed much attachment or reluctance to leave.

Because she was going to the capital, she made a point of returning to Aoshan Village two months in advance.

During this time, she spent as much time as possible with her grandmother, mother-in-law, and her own mother, allowing them to fully enjoy family life.

Originally, her father-in-law, mother-in-law, and mother all planned to come to the county town to see her off, but Wang Qing'er politely declined their offer.

It wasn't that she was heartless, but she simply couldn't bear to see the reluctance in their eyes, and she was even more afraid to see the tears welling up in her adoptive mother's eyes.
