That night, the adults looked at the things the children carried back, and the adults felt very sour. They still encouraged the children to be able to do it and told the children not to work too hard. After the children went to bed, they helped organize the fruits.

Qiao Zhaoshi looked at the pile of fruits at home, and he whispered to Dai, "Don't send fruits to your parents' home for the time being. Please ask the wet nurse if there is a way to make these into persimmon cakes?"

Dai nodded softly and whispered: "My husband, my brothers can actually help."

Qiao Zhaoshi looked at Dai and said, "After so many years, I have seen that we have always been outsiders in the hearts of locals. However, the siblings are different. They were born in Shucheng, so locals are easy to accept them.

Local adults don’t go up the mountain every day, so we should not go against this taboo. Brothers from a family are different. They just come to their sister’s house to visit relatives and then accompany their nephew to the mountain. They are locals in Shucheng, and just like this, they will not cause trouble."

Dai Shi lowered her head silently. The land she bought at Cheng’s mother’s house was sold to the people in the village some days ago.

Aunt Dai quietly said to Dai: "Our family will eventually return to Jiangnan, and now we will have a good relationship."

Dai could see that Aunt Dai was reluctant to let go, but she couldn't say too much comforting words for such a thing.

When Qiao Zhaoshi heard Dai mention the Dai family that day, he sighed to Dai and said, "Uncles and aunts are both smart people, and now they have a good relationship."

Even though the Cheng family is willing to protect the Dai family, they don’t have many places to take care of. After all, Cheng’s family has to live on their own, and they have to take into account the feelings of relatives and friends.

Qiao Zhaoshi looked at the expression on Dai's face, and he also felt a faint helplessness in his heart. In this regard, Dai's perception was indeed not as sharp as Qiao Yunran.

However, after Qiao Zhaoshi thought about getting married, Dai had been caring about family affairs, and his heart softened a little. He looked at Dai and said softly: "You did not mention the things on the mountain to your younger brothers, you did a good job."

Dai smiled a little bitterly. She had never thought about these things before. After all, her eldest nephew was not old. At this time, she was confused by what Qiao Yunran brought home, so she almost forgot what her aunt had always told her.

Aunt Dai kept telling Dai that the Dai family had not reached the most critical period. Dai, a married daughter, did not have to remember her family and affairs. She kept in touch with each other in normal times and could walk more between relatives.

Qiao Yunran got up with some difficulty the next day. She saw that it was still early outside and Dai had already gotten up and busy in the kitchen. Qiao Yunran walked over and said to Dai, "Mom, I'm getting up."

Dai turned his head and saw Qiao Yun, and then smiled and said, "Ran'er, wash your face with hot water. Your father has gone out for a run. You don't want to go today."

Qiao Yunran nodded gently. After she washed her face, she leaned beside Dai and whispered: "Mom, do you like to eat persimmons? Cheng's uncle said that the persimmon cake was delicious."

Dai nodded gently and said, "Then our family is learning to make persimmon cakes like Shan'er's family. Your father told me that you are young, so you can eat one or two persimmons."

Qiao Yunran nodded gently and said, "Mom, when I was on the mountain yesterday, my uncles reminded us that we should not eat too much persimmons. Shan'er and I ate three persimmons together."

Dai Shi was happy that her daughter was close to her, and she whispered: "I added eggs to the dough this time. If you like it, my mother will do this for you to eat in the future."

Qiao Yunran shook his head gently and said, "Mom, I don't know how to picky food, I can eat anything."

When Dai heard Qiao Yunran's words, she gently moved her head. Qiao Yunran usually acted not picky about food. She would eat more bites of food that she liked to eat, and she would also taste the dishes that she didn't like.

Qiao Zhaoshi came back from outside. When he saw Qiao Yunran, he nodded softly and said, "Ran'er, you have another basket to go up the mountain today."

Qiao Yunran nodded gently. Dai was already preparing for Qiao Yunran to bring food to the mountain.

Qiao Zhaoshi still sent them to the intersection of the mountain. On the way back, the adults whispered: "You are careful about your child this time. You can probably keep the secret, but it may not be the case next year. Everyone should know it."

Qiao Zhaoshi acted calmly and whispered: "I am already happy that the children can get what they have this year. As for what will happen next year, I will talk about it until next year comes."

The adults stopped talking because of this. The children were determined to keep the secrets they wanted to keep, and they didn't want to ruin them.

After Qiao Yunran and his group went up the mountain, they were naturally much faster than the day before. When they went down the mountain at night, they naturally had more gains than the day before.

The brothers and children were on the mountain for several days. On the last day, they carefully picked up a lot of firewood. On this day, the children went down the mountain earlier than before and went home earlier.

The Cheng brothers waited on the mountain until dark before they moved the children's belongings down the mountain and handed them over to the adults who had already been waiting on the mountain.

The adults were very grateful to see the Cheng brothers, and the Cheng brothers just waved their hands gently to them.

The Cheng brothers left the city early the next day. They only brought half a basket of fruits home. They whispered to Cheng: "Sister, you can't take too much of this thing. All other fruits will be dried fruits."

The older children haven't seen the younger children for several days. When they saw the younger children again, they asked curiously: "Where have you been there in the past few days, we haven't met once."

Qiao Yunran has never been talking much. Qiao Shan was always angry that they disliked him, and the person who answered said in a silence: "The weather is cold, and they can't get up one by one. Let's go some mountain at night."

The older children obviously believed this. They glanced at the older children and said directly: "If they can't get up in the future, you can let them sleep at home. You can go up the mountain like we used to."

When Qiao Yunran saw them looking at her, she replied with a serious expression: "The weather is getting colder and colder. I heard from my father that it will probably snow in a few days, so we won't bother brothers and sisters."

Qiao Shan was always close to Qiao Yunran. After hearing Qiao Yunran's words, he looked up and said to Qiao Yunran: "Sister, it's going to snow, and my dad will be back, right?"
