Travel to the mountains and make a fortune in silence

She slowly sat up straight, and said thoughtfully, "Alright, I'll go back to my hometown with Grandma and my parents for the New Year this time. I've been staying in Beijing for too long, and I'm getting a bit tired of it. It'll be good to go back and visit. Besides, next spring, I can take the children into the mountains to pick mushrooms and bamboo shoots, and visit that grove of Chinese toon trees..."

At this point, a happy smile appeared on Wang Qing'er's face, as if she could already see the children running happily in the mountains and forests, and the table full of delicacies.

It is said that a wealthy merchant went to Wuyang County and built a large wharf there. Now, many large ships that come and go for business dock at the wharf for rest and repair.

The variety of seafood is also increasing.

Mu Nan looked at his wife, who seemed completely absorbed in her thoughts, and said, "Wife, judging from your expression, you're not planning to come back after you go back to your hometown."

Wang Qing'er was slightly taken aback by his words, then considered it seriously for a moment and said, "Well, we'll see when the time comes. Staying in my hometown for a year or two wouldn't be bad either."

Upon hearing this, Mu Nan's face immediately turned mournful, transforming into that of a wronged wife, and she said, "Wife, you have no conscience. How could you bear to leave me alone in our hometown for several years?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Qing'er couldn't help but glare at him reproachfully: "You were the one who told me to go back, and now you're blaming me? You're so unreasonable!"

Seeing this, Mu Nan quickly apologized with a smile: "It's my fault, I'm heartless, please don't be angry, my wife."

As the two chatted, Mu Nan's restless hands began to stir, slowly reaching out to Wang Qing'er's waist and gently caressing it. At the same time, he leaned close to her ear, lowered his voice, and said ambiguously, "Qing'er, you've been gone for several years. You'd better make it up to me these next few days."

A blush instantly spread across Wang Qing'er's cheeks. She shyly pushed Mu Nan away and said coquettishly, "No, I want to sleep."

After saying that, she quickly rolled over like a little rabbit, landing on the inside of the bed with her back to Mu Nan.

How could Mu Nan let her off so easily?

He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a mischievous smile, and then reached out and pulled Wang Qing'er firmly into his arms.

Wang Qing'er struggled symbolically for a few moments, but to no avail. In the end, she had no choice but to give up and let Mu Nan hold her tightly.

The bed curtains swayed gently, the sound like a blessing for the loving couple.

The two embraced tightly and spent the night in passionate embrace.

Time flies, and five days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhou, Wang Cuiying, and Wang Qing'er packed their luggage and, with their young children in tow, embarked on their journey back to Wuyang County.

Mu Lin and Wu Zihao also asked for leave from the academy and went back together.

When Mu Qin heard that everyone was going back to their hometowns, she couldn't help but feel a little itchy, so she enthusiastically went back with them.

A large and impressive procession slowly drove out of the city gate.

There were over a hundred maids, old women, and servants in total.

The group continued on their way, and soon after leaving the city, they met up with another guard team of about twenty men led by Wu Zixuan and Wu Ziqi.

After the two teams joined together, they continued on their way.

Along the way, the team stopped frequently, sometimes because the roads were rugged and difficult to traverse, and sometimes because they needed to rest or replenish supplies.

And so, after a long journey of twenty days, they finally arrived at their destination – Aoshan Village.

"Mother, is this our old home?" Mu Huan excitedly lifted the curtain of the carriage, curiously gazing at the lush green wheat field outside, and asked in her childish voice.

The little girl is so cute, with two round buns on her head that look like two fluffy little ears.

Her fair face was rosy, and her large, dark eyes, like two sparkling black gems, were set in her delicate features.

Wang Qing'er gently picked up her youngest daughter and replied with a face full of affection, "Yes, baby, this is our old home. Does Huan'er like it here?"

Mu Huan nodded vigorously, then looked at Wang Qing'er with her large, grape-like eyes, full of anticipation, and asked:

"Mommy, can I go play in the mountains with my older brothers and sisters?"

"Yes, that's fine, but Huanhuan can only go to the mountains to play when the weather gets warmer," Wang Qing'er said gently to her daughter after thinking for a moment.

My daughter was born prematurely and has been physically weak since childhood, often getting sick.

His health gradually improved after he turned two.

Wang Qing'er was extremely worried about this and took great care of her, afraid that she might catch a cold or suffer any other harm.

Wang Qing'er rarely lets Zhou Huan go out, and most of the time she keeps her at home to avoid too much contact with the outside world.

Hearing her mother say they could go to the mountains to play, Zhou Huan's eyes lit up, but then she asked with a hint of disappointment:

"When will the weather get warmer? Will it be a long time?"

Wang Qing'er patted her daughter's head and comforted her, "It won't be long. After the New Year, the weather will gradually warm up. Then, Huanhuan can go to the mountains to play."

And even if the weather isn't completely warm yet, Mommy can take you to play in the fields, and we can pick fruit and vegetables together.

"Yay! Yay! Huanhuan can go pick fruit in the field now!"

When the little girl heard that she could not only go to the mountains to play, but also pick vegetables in the fields, she was so excited that she danced with joy, clapping her hands non-stop, as happy as a happy little bird.

Seeing her daughter so happy, Wang Qing'er also smiled with relief.

She handed Zhou Huan to Ying'er, who was standing to the side, and looked out the window.

A lush green scene came into view in the fields beside the road.

The wheat seedlings in the wheat field and the rapeseed seedlings in the rapeseed field grew very lushly, swaying gently in the breeze, as if a green ocean was rippling.

Wang Qing'er distributed rapeseed seeds to every household in Aoshan Village so that they could plant them.

Every household in Aoshan Village grows rapeseed, and when the harvest season arrives, the villagers sell all the harvested rapeseed to the Mu family.

Aoshan Village is now the wealthiest village in the entire Eastern Liang Kingdom.

In the village, everyone who wasn't lazy lived in a spacious and bright house with blue bricks and tiles.

The two city walls, originally built to prevent the incursions of refugees, are now repaired every year and are becoming increasingly sturdy.

The city wall tightly surrounded the entire village, forming a solid defensive line.

Neither villains nor wild animals could enter the village.

The population of Aoshan Village has grown to more than 4,000.

With more money, the villagers' lives improved, and they had more and more children.
