A peasant girl travels through time with a hospital, rising to become an empress.

Nie Qianqian's principle in life is: if a dog bites me, I won't bite it back; I'll just stew it.

The three people on the mountain were completely unaffected by Liu Chunhua and Nie Wenting's mood.

Liu Yan and Nie Qianqian focused on searching for wild vegetables and mushrooms in the mountains, but they could only find a small number of mushrooms in some hidden corners.

It was Tuantuan's first time in the mountains, and everything she saw was new and exciting. She toddled around with her short legs, picked pretty flowers and presented them to Nie Qianqian like treasures, and volunteered to help her mother and grandmother pick mushrooms.

Tuantuan didn't forget the important matter. She tugged at Nie Qianqian's sleeve and asked curiously, "Mom, what do the mushrooms we're going to pick look like?"

Nie Qianqian took out the freshly picked mushrooms from the basket and patiently said, "Tuantuan, look, these small umbrella-shaped mushrooms are mushrooms, but be careful, you can only pick these dark gray ones. The brightly colored mushrooms are poisonous."

Tuantuan tilted her head, blinking her big eyes, "Mom, what does 'poisonous' mean?"

Nie Qianqian: "It's poisonous. It's poisonous because if Tuantuan eats it, she'll have a stomachache, so bad that she'll roll around in pain."

Tuantuan quickly covered her tummy and nodded somewhat fearfully, "Mom, I know, Tuantuan won't pick poisonous mushrooms."

Nie Qianqian handed the mushroom in her hand to Tuantuan, "Tuantuan, take this mushroom and you won't go wrong."

Tuantuan took the mushroom, nodded seriously, and ran off.

As Nie Qianqian watched Tuan Tuan's retreating figure, the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up. So this is what it feels like to raise a child. Seeing him happy fills my heart with such contentment.

In her previous life, she was a lifelong single and had no experience raising children, but she felt that treating children as independent individuals and communicating with them sincerely, like friends, should be the right thing to do.

The mountain air was humid. After searching for half a morning, they had dug up some things. Both mother and daughter were a little tired. Nie Qianqian put down the basket and said, "Mom, you rest here for a while. I'll go check on Tuantuan."

Liu Yan nodded, sat down under the tree to rest, and rummaged through the basket to check her morning's harvest.

Nie Qianqian walked towards Tuantuan and found him squatting on the ground, tilting his little head, teasing a little squirrel with the mushroom in his hand. The little squirrel noticed Qianqian coming and nimbly scurried up the tree.

Nie Qianqian asked softly, "What is Tuantuan doing?"

Tuantuan raised her little face and said with a bit of pride, "Mom, I was chatting with Xiaosongsong. Xiaosongsong told me that there are a lot of these gray mushrooms in the gullies over there, and we can go there to pick mushrooms."

Nie Qianqian: "Little Songsong?"

Tuantuan pointed to the squirrel peeking out of the tree with its big, dark eyes and said, "That's Little Pine, a friend I just met."

After saying that, he looked up at the squirrel and called out, "Little squirrel, this is my mother. Don't be afraid. My mother is very, very good. Come down quickly."

Listening to Tuantuan's childish words, Nie Qianqian stroked his round head and couldn't help but smile, "Tuantuan is so great, he's made so many new friends."

Hearing Tuan Tuan's call, the little squirrel didn't run away as Qianqian expected. Instead, it darted to the foot of the tree, tentatively approached, raised its two little front paws, and stood up to observe Nie Qianqian.

Tuantuan: "Little Pine Pine, please take me and my mother to the place you said we could find gray mushrooms."

Nie Qianqian could tell that the little squirrel was wary of her. Its little eyes kept scrutinizing her, as if trying to determine if she had any ill intentions. When it heard Tuantuan's words, its eyes darted around, and after a long while, it slowly nodded.

Nie Qianqian looked at the little squirrel with curiosity. When she saw it nod as if it understood human nature, she was first stunned, and then looked at Tuantuan in disbelief.

Could her baby really talk to the squirrel?

Tuantuan took Nie Qianqian's hand, "Mom, let's go with Xiaosongsong, he will lead us there."

After Tuantuan finished speaking, the little squirrel put down its two front paws and ran forward, looking back from time to time as if to make sure that Qianqian and Tuantuan had followed.

Nie Qianqian, half-believing and half-doubting, called Liu Yan and followed.

The three people and the squirrel walked for about half an hour, going uphill and downhill along the way. Qianqian was completely lost, and even Liu Yan, who was used to going into the mountains, lost her sense of direction. She asked Qianqian with some concern, "Qianqian, which way are we going? If we keep going, we'll be in the deep mountains. It will be dangerous if we get lost in the mountains."

Tuantuan comforted her in her childish voice, "Grandma, don't worry, we'll be there soon."

After crossing a small hill, there was a valley shrouded in a thin mist. Nie Qianqian keenly sensed that the air here was different from other places, extremely fresh.

As they entered the mountain valley, Nie Qianqian and Liu Yan stared in disbelief. The place was filled with wild vegetables and mushrooms, and Nie Qianqian even spotted a lot of medicinal herbs.

Tuantuan jumped up and cheered, "Mom, isn't Tuantuan amazing!" The little squirrel seemed very happy and also jumped up and down in place, just like Tuantuan.

Nie Qianqian looked at Tuantuan for a long time and confirmed that her Tuantuan could indeed communicate with animals!

She took out some pine nuts from Three Squirrels from her storage space, removed the outer packaging, put them in a cloth bag, and handed them to Tuantuan, saying, "Tuantuan, take this to thank your friend."

Tuan Tuan looked at the yellow-colored thing in the bag, not knowing what it was, but he was used to his mother taking out all sorts of novel things, so he didn't ask any questions and gave it to the little squirrel.

The little squirrel squeezed its entire body into the bag and happily banged its head against the wall.

Liu Yan, unable to contain herself any longer, squatted down with a broad smile to pick mushrooms and wild vegetables, muttering to herself as she did so, "Thank God! Thank God!"

Nie Qianqian didn't rush to pick mushrooms. Instead, she pulled Tuantuan aside and asked seriously, "Tuantuan, did you just say that Xiaosongsong told you that you could find mushrooms here?"

Tuantuan nodded, then asked somewhat nervously, "Yes, Mother doesn't believe me?"

She had mentioned it to her grandmother once before, and her grandmother patted her head and told her not to lie, so she never said it again.

Nie Qianqian rubbed his head, "How could that be? Of course, Mother believes you."

"Your mother asks you, can you talk to all the little animals?"

Tuantuan thought back carefully, "The little bugs don't talk to me, and neither do the chicks and ducks at my grandmother's house. Some of the birds in the trees do."

Nie Qianqian thought to herself: Only some intelligent animals can talk to Tuantuan.

Nie Qianqian swallowed hard, trying her best to keep her expression from being too outrageous.

She can travel through space with her body, and it's also acceptable that her baby can talk to animals; these are unique talents of hers.

She asked again, "Gu Xiao... does your father know?"

Tuantuan shook her head. "I didn't tell Dad."

Nie Qianqian nodded. It seemed she needed to find an opportunity to tell Gu Xiao about this. The matter was too unbelievable, and she didn't know if Gu Xiao could accept it.

Tuantuan was a little uneasy. "Mom, is it strange that Tuantuan can talk to small animals?"

Nie Qianqian picked up Tuantuan proudly and said, "It's not surprising. Only very smart, very smart, very capable children can do this. But Tuantuan, not everyone has this ability. Your ability might make others envious or even jealous. So, apart from Dad and Mom, don't tell anyone else yet, okay?"

When Tuantuan heard her mother say that it was not surprising that she was a smart and capable child, she grinned happily, her heart filled with sweetness. "Tuantuan will listen to her mother."

Nie Qianqian kissed Tuantuan's cheek, "Tuantuan is such a good boy."

Tuantuan snuggled happily in Nie Qianqian's arms; he loved his mother's kisses the most.

His mother believed him, and with her approval, Tuantuan was even happier, running wildly in the mountain valley.

Nie Qianqian followed Liu Yan to pick mushrooms in the mountains. While picking, she secretly took out enoki mushrooms, seafood mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms and other kinds of mushrooms from her space and stuffed them into the basket. She also put in a variety of wild vegetables.

Anyway, the valley is so big, Liu Yan wouldn't be surprised if Nie Qianqian dug these things up.

As they were picking mushrooms, they heard Tuantuan exclaim, "Mom, Grandmother, there's a huge mushroom here!"

Liu Yan and Nie Qianqian ran over upon hearing the sound. Liu Yan looked at the mushroom that Tuantuan had mentioned in surprise, "Is this a mushroom? How come it's so big?"

Nie Qianqian's eyes lit up, and she rubbed her hands together, unable to hide her smile, "Mother, this is Ganoderma lucidum!"
