Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 236 Going into the mountains together

But now there is a very realistic problem facing us, that is, where will the boy live after he comes down the mountain?

Having lived in the village for some time, Tao Qiuyi had noticed that the population and housing of each household in the village were not equal.

This was one of the reasons why she decided to build a house.

"It's easy for us to save him, but after that, where are we going to let him live?" There were only two rooms, and it was already crowded for the four of them. If another boy came, Tao Qiuyi said there really wouldn't be enough room.

"The new courtyard has just been built. Huang Hao said it would take at least half a month. It's better to rescue that boy sooner rather than later. It would be best to bring him down the mountain within the next two days."

Wei Jingyuan pondered for a few seconds and suggested, "How about we go ask Elder Jiang if he's willing to take him in for a few days?"

"Yes, why didn't I think of asking Mr. Jiang to take him in for a few days, and then bring him back when our yard is built." Tao Qiuyi smiled with curved eyebrows.

She was happy that the problem was solved.

Seeing her so happy, Wei Jingyuan felt a subtle feeling towards the young man. He quickly concealed it, "Do you have anything else to prepare? We can set off now."

"After we finish our business, we'll go find the boy you mentioned and bring him down the mountain with us."

"No need to prepare anything." Walking to the backpack, Tao Qiuyi reached out to pick it up, but a big hand reached out and took the backpack away before her.

Blinking, Tao Qiuyi turned around and saw Wei Jingyuan had already prepared the backpack. "I'm going to get the kettle from the next room first, and give Li Zi and Xiao Huai a few words. Wait until the birds finish eating, then lock the door."

"Okay." Wei Jingyuan responded and watched her walk out of the house.

The bird listened to their entire conversation, and tactfully finished its steamed bun and flew out of the house.

Seeing the bird so tactful, Wei Jingyuan shook his head with a smile. He walked out of the house, locked the door, and sent the key to the next door.

Tao Qiuyi was giving instructions to Lizi and Xiaohuai when she saw Wei Jingyuan come in. After telling Lizi and Xiaohuai to study hard, she went out with Wei Jingyuan.

With Wei Jingyuan around, it wasn't Tao Qiuyi's turn to carry the backpack, so she walked beside him, carrying her water bottle and empty-handed. When villagers asked where they were going, it was always Wei Jingyuan who answered.

As Tao Qiuyi had expected, the news of what had happened at the Huang family that morning had already spread throughout the village. Before Tao Qiuyi and Wei Jingyuan even reached the bamboo forest, they could already hear several groups of people discussing it.

Since both of them have good hearing, they can hear the content of the discussion clearly even if they don’t see the people who are talking.

"Did you hear about what happened at the Huang family this morning when you went out to look for your fourth uncle?" Tao Qiuyi asked Wei Jingyuan in a low voice.

"I heard some people talking about it, but I didn't pay attention." Wei Jingyuan had heard about the Huang family's affairs, but he would not follow the crowd in talking.

"I knew it." Tao Qiuyi looked at him knowingly.

Wei Jingyuan asked with a puzzled look on his face, "What do you know?"

She knew he wouldn't care about gossip, let alone share it. After living together for a while, Tao Qiuyi had a good understanding of Wei Jingyuan's personality.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Wei Jingyuan didn't ask any further questions.

The two walked in silence, and when they passed the open space in front of the big bamboo forest, Tao Qiuyi saw a familiar little figure. Suspecting that he had seen it wrong, he stopped and looked carefully.

"What's wrong?" Wei Jingyuan stopped and followed her gaze, looking at the group of people in the open space in front of the bamboo forest. "That child is Chen Hanying." Seeing the little figure's face clearly, Tao Qiuyi frowned and asked, "Why is he working there?"

Wei Jingyuan had treated Chen Hanying, so he naturally knew him, but he didn't know why Chen Hanying was working there.

So he said, "I'll go ask Huang Hao."

"No need to ask." Tao Qiuyi held Wei Jingyuan and said softly, "Their current status is awkward. It's better for both of us if we don't have any contact openly."

After glancing at Chen Hanying, Tao Qiuyi pulled Wei Jingyuan along and continued walking. When they reached the foot of the mountain, she told Wei Jingyuan the news of the other bird as entertainment.

When Wei Jingyuan heard her say that she had arranged for birds to keep an eye on the Huang family, he suddenly felt that his previous experience and knowledge could not be called knowledge.

Training military dogs to serve the people in the team is not cool. Tao Qiuyi directly lets the birds do things for her, which is cool.

"How did you come up with the idea of arranging birds to keep an eye on the Huang family?" Wei Jingyuan was really curious about why she arranged birds to keep an eye on the Huang family.

Tao Qiuyi's answer was, "I feel like Huang Lingyu is a bit evil, so I arranged for the bird to keep an eye on her. If she's really up to something bad, I'll know."

This is called preparing for a rainy day and being prepared for danger in times of peace.

However, what Huang Lingyu has been doing recently is really puzzling.

The bird had just brought back news that Huang Lingyu had discovered that all the money and belongings in the safe were missing. Furious, he lost his mind and nearly strangled Huang Ying to death.

Huang Ying and Huang Lingyu should be disgusted with each other by now. Logically, the conflict should not be resolved so quickly.

Huang Lingyu dragged Huang Ying to the mountains to chop firewood. Perhaps it wasn't to chop firewood... But if it wasn't to chop firewood, what was Huang Lingyu going to the mountains for? And why did he insist on dragging Huang Ying along?

Tao Qiuyi stepped on something and suddenly fell forward...

"Be careful." Wei Jingyuan was walking behind her. Seeing her fall, he quickly rushed over. At the last moment before Tao Qiuyi fell, he grabbed her arm and pulled her into his arms.

Her body crashed into Wei Jingyuan's warm embrace, and Tao Qiuyi silently withdrew the hand she had extended. She was ready; even if Wei Jingyuan didn't hold her back, she wouldn't fall.

After regaining her balance, Tao Qiuyi didn't immediately push Wei Jingyuan away. She had indeed been careless just now, too engrossed in thinking about Huang Lingyu that she had neglected her feet.

"When walking, just focus on walking and don't think about other things." Wei Jingyuan frowned and looked at the person in his arms. He even wondered how she walked in the mountains before.

If he hadn't reacted quickly, she would have fallen flat on her face. The mountain was littered with branches and weeds, and if she fell like this, her hands and face would have been scratched.

Is he teaching her a lesson? Tao Qiuyi raised her head and saw Wei Jingyuan's tightly knit brows.

She couldn't bring herself to refute him, but a hint of sweetness welled up in her heart. Tao Qiuyi said, "I know. I'll pay more attention next time."

Seeing her humbly accepting the criticism, Wei Jingyuan's frown relaxed.

"The road in the mountains is uneven and overgrown with weeds. Be careful when you walk." After giving the instructions, Wei Jingyuan let go of Tao Qiuyi and took a step back consciously.

Tao Qiuyi's mouth twitched, and he said unhappily, "Am I a vicious beast? I'm the one you should avoid as much as possible."

"No, you are the girl I like." Wei Jingyuan blurted out these words, saying exactly what he thought in his heart.
