The couple took Meng'er for a stroll in the mountains. When they were tired, they would find a stone to rest for a while. When they were thirsty, they would drink some water and eat something by the way to replenish their physical strength.

Li Meng's laughter became louder and louder. Sometimes he asked about butterflies, sometimes about ants, and occasionally when he saw a scarab beetle, he would excitedly hold Lin He's hand and shake it.

At noon, Li Changhui left for a while, and when he came back, he already had more prepared rabbits and pheasants in his hands.

Today they are making the simplest barbecue. Li Meng has never seen it before, and he is very curious now.

Sitting next to Lin He, she chattered and asked what she was doing. Lin He also took the trouble to explain to her. The two of them found branches together and made a fire together.

However, Lin He didn't forget to remind her that she couldn't light a fire outside when she was alone, as it would be very dangerous.

Li Meng nodded in understanding, but he kept what he said to his mother-in-law firmly in his heart.

In order to take care of the little girl's appetite, I deliberately did not apply chili oil and applied a separate layer of honey water.

The skin was crispy and had a hint of sweetness. The little girl was instantly conquered. She immediately admired this uncle who was scared before.

After eating and drinking, Lin He took Meng'er to find a rock and hugged her to take a nap. It was very cool in the mountains at noon, and with the mosquito repellent sachet made by Li Changhui, there were no mosquitoes at all, not to mention how comfortable it was.

The three of them didn't finally go home slowly until it was almost evening.

Xiuling was naturally at home. She came back in the morning and learned from others that her daughter had been taken to the mountains to play by Lin He and the others. She didn't care at first.

He still didn't come back until noon, and he learned from his second sister-in-law that every time they went to the mountains for a picnic, they would only come back in the afternoon, so he started to feel a little anxious.

Especially in the evening, I would hold my son and walk around the intersection going down the mountain, looking up the mountain from time to time to avoid missing people coming down the mountain.

At this moment, he finally saw Lin He pulling his daughter at the intersection. He suddenly felt relaxed and hurriedly walked towards the few people.

"Sister-in-law, you are finally back."

After saying that, he quickly looked at his daughter. He knew that the child was taken out by his cousin and sister-in-law and would definitely be brought back safely, but he hadn't seen the child for a day, so how could he really not be worried at all.

Lin He saw Xiuling's expression in his eyes and felt quite satisfied. At least he didn't care at all, so he could correct it.

Thinking this, Lin He let go of Li Meng and gestured to her gently.

Li Meng, who had been obviously happy all day long, hadn't seen her mother before and didn't think she looked like her. But now that she saw her, the smile on her face became more obvious.

He almost hugged Xiuling's legs, raised his head and looked at her with his big bright eyes.

"Mom, my uncle and my aunt took me to play in the mountains today. My uncle is very good and can cook delicious barbecue. We also took a nap on the mountain. It was very cool and comfortable!"

The sweet smile and clear voice successfully aroused some guilt in Xiuling's heart. Since becoming pregnant with her third child, her focus has been on her third child.

Especially this year, I don’t have enough energy, I always feel tired, and I can’t control my temper. I can’t help but neglect my older daughter.

Only then did she finally realize that it seemed that she had not seen her daughter's cheerful smile for a long time. It seemed that every time she saw her, she always looked quiet on the sidelines.

Holding back her sadness, Xiuling smiled and held her daughter's hand, and asked with a smile: "Really, did you thank uncle and aunt?"

Meng'er quickly turned to look at Lin He and Li Changhui: "Thank you, aunt, thank you, uncle!"

Lin He looked at the warmth between mother and daughter at this moment, and finally felt that her worries could be saved, but he was not in a hurry to say anything now.

"Let's go home first. The children will be back soon." She said and took the youngest son from Xiuling's arms, letting Xiuling concentrate on taking care of her daughter.

The mother and daughter were a few steps behind, listening to Meng'er keep talking about what happened on the mountain today, from a small grass to a small flower, to the uncle's delicious food, etc.

After arriving home, Lin He handed the child to Li Changhui and looked at Li Meng: "Meng'er, can you let me teach you how to read? My aunt and my mother will go cook."

Li Meng nodded sharply: "Okay!"

In the past few days, Lin He and Xiuling had been cooking together. Xiuling didn't think much and followed them to the kitchen.

"We went to the mountain on an impromptu basis. Did you get something to eat for yourself at home alone at noon?"

Lin He took out the ingredients and thought about what to make at night.

"I went to my second brother's house to eat at noon."

"That's good. It's really troublesome to cook alone." Lin He nodded and fished out three palm-sized crucian carps from the fish tank under the eaves.

"Let's make a crucian carp soup tonight, and both of the little guys can drink some."

Such a big crucian carp can make a pot of fish soup, which is enough for their whole family.

Xiuling was washing rice and preparing to cook. She just nodded when she heard this. She was always helping. Lin He arranged everything she wanted to do and eat.

Lin He then said, "When I came back in the morning, Qingyu and Wang Nian took Meng'er and were going to find your second sister-in-law. The little girl was gloomy and looked very sad."

Xiuling paused in her hands, feeling a little embarrassed: "Sister-in-law, I know what you mean. I have been worrying about my little one during this time, and I have been neglecting Meng'er a bit."

"It's good that you realize this. To be honest, I was really a little angry at the time."

Lin He didn't hide his thoughts either.

"I took Meng'er to play in the mountains today because I didn't want her to keep thinking about her parents taking her brother out to play and leaving her behind."

"I know that almost everyone prefers their son in their heart. I must have felt it when you and I were children at home."

"But Xiuling, we should try not to repeat the sadness we had when we were children, don't you think? Even if it is a daughter, after all, she was born with great expectations."

When she and Li Changhui returned to town three years ago, Xiuling and Li Changsheng were holding their daughter, and they couldn't hide the smiles on their faces.

Xiuling was a little ashamed when Lin He said: "Sister-in-law, I understand, don't worry, it will definitely not be like this in the future."

Lin He smiled: "Meng'er is also a cute and sensible girl. She has a lively personality and is usually so quiet. I guess it's because you are tired and I don't want to cause you any trouble."

Xiuling felt even more guilty.

Lin He also accepted it and took two sausages: "Wash this for me first. By the way, you went to the medical clinic today. What did the doctor say? Are you feeling better?"

Xiuling nodded quickly: "The doctor said it's much better, and the effect is better than he expected. He said that if the effect continues to be so good, I can take the medicine for a month at most, and then I don't need to drink it anymore."

That's good, Lin He thought to himself.

Immediately, the two sisters-in-law stopped discussing this and started cooking seriously. By the way, they talked about Xiuling's plan to move to the city. (End of chapter)
