Chapter 478 1 family of 4

When she woke up, it was already afternoon. However, when Xu Han woke up today, she was surprised that there was someone else in the room.

I saw Lu Chuan lying on the bed motionless, I don’t know whether he was asleep or dozing off.

Just as she was about to get up and take a look, the person next to her moved and said, "Wife, you're awake."

"Well, why didn't you go out today? Are you feeling unwell?" Xu Han said as she was about to touch Lu Chuan's forehead, but he pulled her away.

"No, I'm waiting for you to wake up. I haven't been to the mountains for a long time. Today is a good day. It's cloudy outside and there's no bright sun. I thought of taking you to the mountains for a walk and picking some wild fruits to eat."

Xu Han immediately became excited when she heard this, and lifted the quilt on her body and said, "Okay, let's go quickly. It's been a long time since we went to pick wild fruits. There are a lot of wild fruits in the mountains this season. Let's pick some and bring them back to make fruit wine."

"Well, let's go."

After Lu Chuan finished speaking, he took Xu Han's hand and walked out the door. However, as soon as they walked out the door, they saw his youngest son standing in the corridor beside them, staring at the two of them coming out of the house.

"Dad, Mom, where are you going? I want to go too."

Lu Chuan refused directly with an expressionless face, "You study hard at home, we will be back soon."

Zeer continued to ask, "Can I go with you?"

Just as Lu Chuan was about to refuse, Xu Han pulled at the corner of his clothes, interrupting him and saying, "Dad and Mom are going to the mountains to pick wild fruits. Do you want to go? It's a very long way! If you want to go, you have to go by yourself."

Sure enough, when Ze'er heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, "Yes, yes, I want to go. Don't worry, mother, I'm very strong and I can walk by myself."

"Okay, then go ask your brother if he wants to go. Mother is waiting for you here."

It had been a long time since Xu Han had taken her two children for a walk in the mountains. She thought that it was already afternoon, and even if she went to the mountains to pick wild fruits, she wouldn't be able to walk far. She might as well take the children for a walk in the mountains!

It's a good opportunity for them to enjoy some parent-child time together and develop their relationship.

But Xu Han also knew that it was not a good idea to make a decision on her own. After all, Lu Chuan was waiting for her, so she said, "It's getting late. Let's take the children for a walk around the house this afternoon and then go to the mountains tomorrow morning, okay?"

Lu Chuan looked at her lovingly and said, "Listen to your wife."

Although Lu Chuan said this, he still disliked his two sons in his heart, thinking, "They are really two tail-chasers, following me wherever I go. It's so annoying."

After they waited for a while, the two brothers Muer and Zeer ran out from the backyard.

Mu'er asked excitedly, "Mom, mom, are we going to pick wild fruits?"

"Yes, go get your small backpacks, we are about to set off."

After Xu Han finished speaking, she turned and went into the kitchen, took out some snacks and biscuits, and washed some fruit, intending to eat them when she got hungry while walking around later.

After putting all the prepared things into the backpack carried by Lu Chuan, the family of four walked out of the yard hand in hand.

Xu Han was in a good mood, humming a tuneless little song all the way and said with a smile, "The weather is really nice this afternoon, not too cold or too hot, and there's no sun yet. I guess it's going to rain soon."

Lu Chuan looked up at the sky and said, "Yeah, it's going to rain soon. Let's not walk too far, or we'll get wet if it rains."

"Okay, let's go around the back mountain and see if there are any prickly ash in the mountain. If there are, we can pick some and take them back to make jam or wine."

Lu Chuan pointed in the direction of the back mountain and said, "When I went up the mountain with the Taoist priest some time ago, I saw a lot of prickly ash over there. They should be ripe soon. Let's go over there and take a look."

"Okay." Xu Han responded, and said to Mu'er and Ze'er who were running madly with the two dogs in front, "Mu'er, Ze'er, let's go this way. Don't run too fast, follow Daddy."

Upon hearing this, the two little guys quickly turned back, one of them grabbed one of Lu Chuan's arms, and started running towards the back mountain.

Lu Chuan looked back at Xu Han helplessly, and Xu Han gave him a look that showed that he could do nothing about it, and watched his two sons dragging him around.

She herself was walking slowly behind with Heifeng and Heidian, looking like they were out for a stroll to relax.

Soon, Ze'er's chirping voice came from the front, "Mom, mom, come quickly, there are big prickly ash, it's delicious."

Xu Han smiled and ran forward a few steps. "Here I am. Let me see how big it is."

As soon as Xu Han walked to the place, three men fed her a mouthful of prickly ash. The three men rushed to stuff it into Xu Han's mouth, making it impossible for Xu Han to open her mouth for a while.

The mouth is filled with prickly bubbles, which seem like they will fall out if you move.

After chewing for a long time, she finally finished eating all the prickly ash in her mouth. Xu Han said quickly, "This prickly ash is really sweet. Pick more, and then your mother will make prickly ash jam for you."

Mu'er held up her basket and said, "Okay, I'll fill up my basket."

"I also want to fill a basket with them." Ze'er also said.

"Okay, okay, hurry up and pick them. Whoever picks the most will be rewarded with a cookie."

With Xu Han's words, the two brothers became more enthusiastic in picking the prickly ash. Neither of them gave in to the other. For a moment, even the sound of talking was silent, and only the faint sound of picking the prickly ash could be heard.

Lu Chuan and Xu Han looked at the two children with a smile and started picking prickly ash together.

After all, they are just children, and we can't really expect them to pick all the prickly ash together. If we want to make jam or fruit wine, we still need the help of two adults.

Xu Han looked around while picking the thorns. "We can pick a lot of thorns from this small patch of thorny vines to make wine. I don't know if there are more around here. We will look for them later and pick more to make wine. If we pick too little, it won't be enough for one soak. Pick more or we won't be able to make it."

"I remember there seem to be some here, but not as many as this place. Let's go shopping after we finish picking them."

The family of four picked and chatted as they picked, and soon they finished picking all the prickly ash here. All together they weighed about three pounds, but they ate some of them while picking. Now there is only about half left.

After picking the prickly ash here, the few of them moved to other places. After searching for a while, the sky gradually darkened.

Xu Han looked at the prickly ash in the backpack and said, "It's going to rain. Let's go home first, or we'll get wet if we go back too late."
