After finishing the meal, she prepared the braised ingredients and put the pig trotters into the pot for braising.
First, she would finish these, and the meat she bought would be left for tomorrow, stored in the spatial room to keep it fresh.
The refrigerator would also work, although there was no electricity, the temperature inside was always maintained at a balanced level, and the fresh-keeping layer could keep things fresh.
The freezer layer below could still freeze things.
It's just that her refrigerator wasn't big, so she couldn't store too many things in it.
"Husband, let's go pick some lychees while we have some free time."
After finishing planting the buckwheat, they would have some free time again, and there wasn't much to do today, so it would be better to go and pick some fruits.
Gu Jinchen heard this and reached out to pinch her nose, his expression full of indulgence: "Why are you so restless, don't you know how to let yourself rest?"
This doting action made her slightly stunned, as she curved her eyes and hugged his arm with a hint of coquetry.
"I can't sit still." She didn't know if it was because of her true nature, but she felt that the relationship between them had become more intimate.
No phones, no novels, no games, she was really bored, unable to sit still.
She thought that next time she went to town, she should get a few storybooks to read.
And she quite liked going up the mountain to play.
"...Okay." What else could he do with his wife, he indulged her, as he would definitely not let her get too tired.
"Mmm." Seeing him agree, Luo Ge smiled and kissed him lightly on the face, then immediately ran away.
Leaving him standing there with a flushed handsome face, lost for a while.
"Tease." Hearing her laughter fading away, Gu Jinchen smiled helplessly and muttered softly.
There was only one lychee tree on the back mountain, so they planned to go to the Great Cliff Mountain first. Since the Great Cliff Mountain was farther away, they didn't bring the two little ones, letting them go play with Iron Egg first.
........
"Be careful of your footsteps."
Without the two little ones as their guiding lights, Gu Jinchen held his wife's hand effortlessly, never letting go on the way.
"Is it still far away?" By then, they had already circled halfway around the mountain.
"It's just ahead, are you tired? Shall we rest for a while first?"
"No, I'm not tired, let's go." She was just curious and asking.
Seeing that she was indeed fine, Gu Jinchen nodded.
Sure enough, after not walking too far, they found a small patch of lychee trees, estimating that there were about eight or nine lychee trees, both big and small.
"The trees are all laden with fruits, and so many have fallen on the ground, don't the villagers know about this place? It's such a pity that so many have fallen."
The lychee trees here might have ripened earlier, and by now, quite a few ripe ones had fallen to the ground.
Looking at the fallen fruits on the ground, Luo Ge felt a pang of regret, after all, these were money.
"They know, the edible things on the nearby mountains have long been explored by the villagers.
But these wild lychees are too sour, so no one bothers with them, and they've just been left here."
Perhaps infected by Luo Ge, Gu Jinchen thought of the money these fruits could bring, and then of the fruits that had been left to rot on the mountains over the years, he also felt a twinge of regret.
"You rest for a while, and I'll pick them."
He placed a backpack upside down for Luo Ge to sit and rest, saying that he was about to climb the tree to pick the fruits.
Luo Ge quickly reached out to stop him: "No need for such trouble."
"I'll do it."
Hearing this, Gu Jinchen frowned, just about to say something, but then he saw her wave her hand, and all the lychees on the tree instantly disappeared in front of them.
Then, with another wave, they were all packed into the backpack.
Luo Ge did this and smiled at him, tilting her little face up at him as if waiting for praise.
"I can store things into the spatial room, and I can also take things out from the spatial room." With this convenience, she could simply collect all the fruits from the trees.
Hearing this, Gu Jinchen rubbed her head helplessly: "My wife is very capable."
"But next time, don't do this outside, it's very dangerous if others see it."
Seeing her smile grow wider, he couldn't help but add another reminder.
Hearing his reminder, Luo Ge obediently nodded, looking compliant: "Yeah, I know."
She knew the score, and just now she had made sure there was no one else around before taking action.
"Mmm." Seeing her obedience, Gu Jinchen also smiled.
Since they had estimated it would take some time to pick the lychees, they had come quite early, but Luo Ge's action was clearly beyond his expectations.
In an instant, she had picked all the fruits, so there was nothing else to do.
"Husband, why don't you take me around the area? If we're lucky, we might have some other gains."
After throwing a few lychee seedlings into the spatial room to grow, Luo Ge looked at Gu Jinchen and said.
According to the previous transmigrators, the big mountains at this time were treasure troves, and the last time they wandered around the back mountain, they didn't gain anything except lychees, but she wasn't discouraged.
This time, they would just wander around, and if they didn't gain anything, it would be for fun. If they did gain something, it would be an unexpected bonus, right?
After all, they had time now.
"...Alright." Seeing her enthusiasm, Gu Jinchen didn't want to dampen her spirits.
Since they were going up the mountain, he had also brought his hunting gear, in case they encountered any dangerous situations without anything to deal with it.
This time, it would come in handy.
Setting up a few traps was his routine habit when going up the mountain, so this time he naturally did a few with Luo Ge.
Although the traps he had made with the two little ones last time didn't catch anything, Luo Ge was still very expectant, just like their reactions.
After setting the traps, she wanted to stand by and wait for the prey to come, just like them.
Unaware that this wasn't something that would happen immediately after setting traps, and that it also depended on luck, not that you would catch something right after setting them.
But the feeling was like buying a lottery ticket and waiting to win, she couldn't help but feel excited, with no way to control it.
In the end, it was Gu Jinchen who had to helplessly use the excuse that there were still many places they hadn't explored to persuade her away.
The two had barely gone far when they encountered a willing victim.
A grayish rabbit, for some unknown reason, saw the two of them there and actually charged straight at them.
Seeing it running into the range where Luo Ge could store it in her spatial room, she didn't hesitate to collect it.
On this side, Gu Jinchen had just drawn his bow, but seeing his wife act like this, he could only sigh helplessly and put the bow down.
"Quick! Up there!"
But suddenly, he seemed to have noticed something, his expression tightening, and he hurriedly pulled Luo Ge behind him. After scanning the surroundings, he chose a relatively sturdy tree and pushed Luo Ge to climb up.
Luo Ge was startled by his demeanor, though confused, she obediently listened to him and climbed up the tree to avoid causing trouble due to her ignorance of the situation.
Seeing his serious expression, she could roughly guess that there must be some kind of dangerous disturbance.
"Aren't you coming up?" But seeing him standing guard below the tree, she couldn't help but worry.
"Roar!" Just as her words fell, a tiger's roar echoed near them.
