Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 1191 A Head That's Deserving of a Kick

The two little ones were laughing, which made Wang An even happier. He said to them affectionately:
"Missing Dad? Hmm? Hahahaha"

As he spoke, Wang An kissed each of the two little ones on the cheek.

Mu Xueqing watched Wang An interact closely with the two children, a happy smile spreading across her face.

After Wang An spent a while admiring the two little ones, their eyelids started to droop.

So Wang An said with a big smile:
"Oh dear, you two are sleepy already? Why don't you play with Daddy a little longer?"

Wang An originally intended to let the two little ones sleep in his arms, but Mu Xueqing immediately stopped him:
"You can't hold your child to sleep. If they get used to it, you won't be able to put them down to sleep later."

Wang An glanced at Mu Xueqing, then at the two little ones, and with a frustrated expression, put them back on the kang (a heated brick bed).

There's no way around it; kids like to be held by adults while they sleep, probably because it makes them feel safe.

However, this would tie up the adults, because if they were always holding them while they slept, they wouldn't be able to do anything else.

Besides, holding a child all the time is very tiring.

Therefore, Mu Xueqing meant that when children are sleeping, they should be placed on the kang (a heated brick bed) and allowed to sleep on their own. They should never develop the habit of needing to be held to sleep.

Carefully placing the two little ones on the kang (heated brick bed), Wang An muttered to himself, his face full of frustration:
"I haven't even had enough of these two little things yet, and they've already fallen asleep. That's so disrespectful."

Mu Xueqing smiled and rolled her eyes at Wang An, saying:

"This is already giving you a lot of face. Before you came back, I managed to get them both to sleep for a short while. Normally, they wouldn't even wake up, and if they did, they would just cry."

Upon hearing this, Wang An nodded happily and said:

"Okay, not bad. As expected of my own daughter and son, they even know to play with their dad for a while, hahaha."

Mu Xueqing straightened the blankets for the two children and asked:

"I was standing at the door just now and I heard Xue Li yelling that you guys beat up a big bear today, didn't you?"

Wang An looked at his two sleeping children with a happy expression and said:

"Yeah, we hunted a bear that must have weighed over 1 pounds, and we also found a giant golden gallbladder. The dried gallbladder must weigh over half a pound. Today's trip into the mountains was pretty good."

Upon hearing this, Mu Xueqing thought for a moment before tentatively saying:

"If you ask me, next time you go into the mountains, if you wander around for a couple of hours and don't find anything, you should come back sooner rather than later."

As she spoke, Mu Xueqing glanced at Wang An's expression. Seeing that Wang An's expression did not change, Mu Xueqing continued:
“Our family is doing well now, we have plenty of money and food. My family and my second uncle’s family are also doing quite well. You guys should just be content with what you have. How much is too much? Don’t you think that’s good?”

It is said that "women are weak by nature but become strong when they become mothers". Wang An never expected that Mu Xueqing would be able to act like a little girl after having a child.

However, Wang An's trip into the mountains wasn't necessarily about catching a big truck; rather, he genuinely enjoyed the feeling of driving a sled and leading a pack of dogs through the forest.

You know, once the prices of antiques and gold rise in a few years, Wang An will definitely liquidate some of the antiques and gold in his home.

Therefore, Wang Anjia will not lack money. At the very least, the generation of Xingfu and Kuaile siblings will definitely not lack money to spend.

As for Happiness and Joy's next generation, Wang An doesn't care about that. If they have money, they can spend more; if they don't, they can spend less. He doesn't care whether they have money or not, because that's Happiness and Joy's business. Wang An's only responsibility is to make Happiness and Joy a true second-generation rich kid.

So after Mu Xueqing asked her question, Wang An smiled and said to her:

"You're right, we have to listen to you, hahaha."

Upon hearing Wang An's words, Mu Xueqing immediately smiled happily and said with emotion, "Our family has such a good life now, there's no need to risk our lives against those mountain animals."

Wang An simply nodded and replied perfunctorily:

"Yeah, that's right."

After listening to Mu Xueqing ramble on for a while, Wang An seized an opportunity to speak:

"Hey honey, we haven't had lunch yet, I'm starving! You take care of the kids, I'll go with Xue Li and the other two to have some hot pot."

I don't know why, but Mu Xueqing is becoming more and more indecisive, which is very different from before she had a child.

However, Mu Xueqing was only talking about living a good life, and Wang An didn't mind listening to her. On the contrary, he quite liked it. It was just that Wang An was too hungry at the moment, so he interrupted her.

Upon hearing this, Mu Xueqing hurriedly said:

"How can you not eat? You haven't even had lunch yet. You guys are always like this. How about I go and make you some noodles to tide you over?"

Wang An stopped Mu Xueqing, who wanted to go to the outer room, and said:

"What are you rolling out of noodles for? Just shut up and stay put. There's nothing we can't handle."

When Wang An finished dressing and went out, Wang Dazhu and the others had already unloaded the cart and led the three horses into the livestock shed to be fed hay.

Seeing Wang An come out, Mu Xueli and Wang Li quickly came over, and Mu Xueli asked:

"How are my nephew and niece? Are they asleep? Can I come in now?"

As Mu Xueli spoke, Wang Li also looked longingly at Wang An.

However, Wang An rolled his eyes at the two of them and said:

"They're freezing, why are they going inside? What if they get cold again? Let's see tomorrow. Fifth brother, go light the charcoal fire. Xue Li, go get a piece of mutton from the jar and slice it. Xiao Zhong, go get a cabbage and some potatoes, and some sauerkraut. Let's have some wine and some hot pot."

Upon hearing Wang An's command, Liu Guilan said:

"Oh dear, why send them to do anything? Xiaoli and I will do it for you."

Wang An waved his hand and said:

"Oh, no need. Little Oriole, go and roll out some noodles for us. Eating meat alone won't fill us up."

After Wang An finished speaking, Wang Li suddenly asked weakly:

"Fourth Brother, we all have work to do, so what are you going to do?"

Wang An turned around and kicked Wang Li, saying:

"What are you talking about? You're just going to put the meat in plain water for hot pot? Shouldn't you make some broth and stir-fry some base ingredients?"

After saying that, Wang An still felt unsatisfied, so he kicked Wang Li again.

After being kicked twice, Wang Li immediately complained to Liu Guilan:
"Auntie, look, your eldest son kicked me again."

Just as Liu Guilan was about to make a move, she saw Mu Xueli say with a gloating expression:
"You're just asking for a kick, I'd be happy to kick you. Just do whatever I tell you to do, why are you talking so much, hahaha?"
