Although it is the dead of winter, the place that Mr. Yu chose for his retirement is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery.

Even at this time of year, the scenery is still very beautiful.

Yu Yanyang took them for a walk around the back mountain.

Gu Mingyue was surprised to hear the sound of flowing water.

It’s not too cold today, but there is still a thin layer of ice on the water outside.

"Why is there a sound of water?"

"Won't you know if you go and take a look?"

Yu Yanyang led them over with a smile.

The road here is difficult to walk on, so Yu Yanyang held his daughter in his arms.

He turned around and teased Gu Shenji with a smile, "Can you walk? Do you want me to carry you?"

"Of course not. I'm already so old, why would I want someone to carry me on my back?"

Gu Shenji immediately refused.

As if to prove how powerful he was, he ran to the front in a short while.

"Your nephew is different from your second brother."

Yu Yanyang said with a smile.

He had met Gu Mingyu once, and she looked very similar to Gu Mingyue.

But at first glance, he is the kind of arrogant and cold person, with a wisdom in his eyes that is different from that of ordinary people, and he is very difficult to get along with.

In short, he is different from ordinary people like them.

"That's why the father and son have such a bad relationship."

Gu Mingyue said.

Yu Yanyang said, "I really like your nephew. He really acts like a child. When we have a son in the future, I hope he will be like him."

Gu Mingyue fell silent when she heard him talk about having a baby.

Nian Nian, on the other hand, spoke cheerfully and asked, "Should I have a younger brother? But I like younger sisters."

"I like my sister too, but we don't get to decide who to have. It's up to mom to decide."

Yu Yanyang kissed his precious daughter and answered with a smile.

Nian Nian immediately asked Gu Mingyue curiously, "Mom, what do you want to have? A brother or a sister?"

"Mom didn't give birth to anything, she just wanted to think of one person."

Gu Mingyue responded in a gentle tone.

Yu Yanyang was stunned and looked at her with complicated eyes.

Gu Mingyue deliberately avoided looking at him. After saying this, she quickened her pace and walked forward.

Nian Nian was not happy because she was the only one.

She pouted and said, "But I want a sister. Mom, please give birth to a sister!"

Yu Yanyang had no choice but to coax her.

"Mom will give Nian Nian a sister. Let's go play first."

"Niannian, aunt, come and see."

Suddenly, I remembered Gu Shenji’s cry from the front.

Yu Yanyang knew what he had seen and was in no hurry to move forward.

Gu Mingyue was worried that he would be in danger. After all, it was in the wilderness. If he was in danger, how would she explain to her second brother when she returned?

I couldn't help but quicken my pace and jog over.

After I got there, I saw that the reason Gu Shenji was yelling so loudly was because he had discovered a stream.

And the water in the stream is still flowing?

"It's so cold, and the water in the mountains is still alive?"

Gu Mingyue was also very curious.

Gu Shenji had already walked over on the stones, reached out and touched it, and said to Gu Mingyue excitedly: "Auntie, it's hot."

"Hot spring?"

Gu Mingyue was puzzled, but it didn't look like that.

Yu Yanyang came over with Nian Nian in his arms and explained, "It's a hot spring. There's a spring on top, but the water is very small. It merges with the ordinary stream, so it doesn't freeze."

"There is a hot spring here, why hasn't it been developed?" Gu Mingyue asked curiously.

Nowadays, tourist attractions are being developed everywhere, and any place with a little potential for development will not be easily missed.

She was very curious that such a good natural hot spring was not being utilized.

Yu Yanyang said, "I've had someone survey it. The spring is too small and the temperature isn't very high. Apart from keeping the stream flowing year-round, it's useless. And while this mountain is beautiful and perfect for a vacation, there's a martyrs' cemetery behind it, and we can't disturb it."

The cultural tourism industry has considered developing this area, but Mr. Yu firmly opposed it, and the surrounding residents also supported it.

Therefore, the project was rejected.

"Nian Nian, come down and touch the water."

Gu Shenji touched the hot spring water and felt very comfortable, so he asked Nian Nian to come down and touch it too.

Nian Nian had actually touched it before, but she still wanted to touch it.

After being put down by Yu Yanyang, he was helped by Gu Mingyue to Gu Shenji's side.

The two children were playing in the water, and they stood by and watched.

Gu Mingyue's eyes were always on the two children.

Yu Yanyang would secretly glance at her from time to time, opening his mouth but stopping himself from speaking.

In fact, Gu Mingyue had already discovered that he was secretly looking at her.

But, he pretended not to see it.

Because she knew why he looked at her like that and what he wanted to say to her.

"It's getting late, let's go back and eat!"

The two children played for a while.

Yu Yanyang looked at the time and urged them to go back.

Gu Shenji was still unsatisfied.

He had never been to a place like this before and didn't want to leave.

Yu Yanyang said, "I'll take you out to play after dinner. I'll take you to catch pheasants in the mountains."

"really?"

Gu Shenji's eyes widened in surprise.

"I'm an adult, how can I lie to you?"

Yu Yanyang asked back seriously.

Gu Shenji immediately brought Nian Nian up.

When we went back, Nian Nian asked me to hold her again.

Gu Shenji wanted to behave better and offered to carry her on his back.

However, Yu Yanyang rejected it.

He didn't dare let him carry his precious daughter on his back. What if he got hurt?

When they returned home, some neighbors just came out of their house.

Seeing Yu Yanyang, he greeted him with a smile.

When he saw Gu Mingyue again, he kept praising her and said that Gu Mingyue was more beautiful than a fairy.

Gu Shenji and Nian Nian were also praised heavily.

Rural people speak in simple terms. In a word, the four of them standing together look so smooth and shiny that it makes people jealous.

Gu Shenji was shocked when he heard this.

In his understanding, only delicious food can make people greedy.

So after everyone left, he asked Gu Mingyue with a look of horror: "Aunt, are they going to eat us?"

"What are you thinking? This is a compliment, but it's different from the way you compliment others."

Gu Mingyue explained to him with a smile.

Yu Yanyang said: "These people are all neighbors. They must be here to give my grandfather some New Year's goods. Every year they give him some New Year's goods. My grandfather has lived here for more than ten years. Whenever he is able to help others, he gets along well with his neighbors."

Sure enough, after they entered the house, they saw a lot of things in the living room.

The babysitter is cleaning up.

Seeing them coming back, he smiled and said, "Wash your hands and eat right away."

"Wow, little bunny."

Nian Nian saw a cage with a little rabbit in it, and her eyes lit up.

Gu Shenji was also very happy and followed Nian Nian to see it.

Mr. Yu smiled and said, "They knew my great-granddaughter was coming, so they sent a little rabbit over for her to play with."

"I like bunnies. I like bunnies."

Nian Nian clapped her hands happily and spun around.
