Soon after, Lin Feng came down, his bag containing six or seven pears.

It wasn't that the others hadn't seen or eaten pears before, but they still found them to be quite a novelty. Lin Feng kept one for himself and left the others for them to divide as they saw fit.

Back at the campsite, Mr. Li was amazed to see the pears in their hands.

"You picked the pears? How did you manage that? That's so impressive!"

"How would we ladies have that kind of skill? It was Mr. Lin who climbed up to pick them."

"Really? I never would have guessed."

"Mr. Li, you should have seen it. He shot up the tree and was at the top in the blink of an eye."

"That impressive?"

"Absolutely!"

The mothers couldn't help but recall the power Lin Feng displayed when he climbed the tree. Damn, that was really something…

Lin Feng washed the pears and began to peel them. The pears had thick skin and coarse flesh, but they were incredibly sweet. The family of six shared them, passing them around and finishing them all in no time.

Seeing the unsatisfied looks on the quadruplets' and Zhang Yuxi's faces, he said, "I'll pick some more tomorrow."

「At night」

Lin Feng boiled water in the kettle to wash the children's faces and feet. After getting everything sorted, he dressed them in their spring pajamas and tucked them into the tent to sleep.

"Honey, I'm going out to sprinkle some insect repellent powder around the tent," he said.

"Okay."

This place was definitely teeming with small insects that could crawl through the gaps in the tent. While adults could handle it, if the children were bitten, their delicate skin would be in a lot of pain.

"Honey, take some over to Liu Qing as well."

"Alright."

Lin Feng took the powder to Liu Qing's tent. "Tian Tian, are you asleep? Could you come out for a moment?"

Tian Tian emerged from the tent. "Uncle, do you need something?"

"Give this to your mom. It's an insect repellent. Tell her to sprinkle it around the tent."

"Okay."

"You and your mom get some rest now."

"Thank you, Uncle. Goodbye, Uncle."

Back in their tent, the children and Zhang Yuxi were chatting under the glow of a solar-powered lamp hanging from the ceiling. It felt just like their previous camping trip in the countryside. As they talked, one by one, the children drifted off to sleep.

Seizing the moment, a blushing Zhang Yuxi quietly snuggled up to Lin Feng.

"Honey…"

"Are you crazy?!"

"Shh!"

"…"

The temperature on the mountain plummeted during the night. Fortunately, it was summer, and their bedding was thick enough that they didn't feel cold at all.

「In the early morning」

Lin Feng got up to make breakfast. As soon as he stepped out of the tent, he was met with a rush of cold air. At this hour, the world was enveloped in a gray mist, which would seem very cold to most people. But for Lin Feng, who had undergone the Purification and Marrow Cleansing, it felt refreshing and not the least bit cold.

The rice cooker Mr. Li had provided was quite small, and Lin Feng worried the porridge would boil over. He cooked it with the lid open, which meant he had to keep a close eye on it. While it simmered, he prepared a cold dish of cucumber and long beans and also boiled seven eggs.

After finishing breakfast preparations, he checked the time. By now, the mist had dissipated, so it was time to wake the children.

Lin Feng entered the tent to find Fourth Treasure already awake, with Zhang Yuxi helping him get dressed.

"Dad, can we go pick pears later, okay?" Fourth Treasure asked.

...

What a little foodie, remembering this after a whole night's sleep.

The half-asleep Second Treasure opened her eyes. "Daddy, I want to go too!"

Was there ever any commotion she wouldn't join?

First Treasure, woken by a full bladder, sat up and announced, "Daddy, I need to pee!"

"Come on, put on your shoes. Daddy will carry you to the restroom."

The restroom wasn't far, requiring only a two-minute round trip. By the time he returned to the tent, all the children were awake, and Zhang Yuxi was boiling water to wash their faces. When the other parents finally began to stir, Lin Feng's family had already tidied up and were starting their breakfast.

The other parents were speechless.

After breakfast, Lin Feng grabbed a bag to go pick more pears. Hearing the commotion, many of the other children tagged along. He came prepared this time with a large bag and filled it to the brim with pears.

When they returned to the campsite, the other families were just starting to make their breakfast. Lin Feng gave the children some pears to eat, then took a fishing rod out of his backpack.

Zhang Yuxi was surprised. "Honey, where did you get this?"

Lin Feng chuckled. "I had it in the backpack."

"Oh? Was it there?"

"Yes, you probably just didn't notice."

In truth, he had decided to bring the fishing rod on a whim, but since there was no more room in his backpack, he had to store it in his System Storage.

Lin Feng took the fishing rod and bait to the pond they had seen earlier. He cautioned the children, "Just stand up here and watch. It's slippery, so don't come down."

He found a rock to sit on and began to fish. The quadruplets watched from the bank above, chattering among themselves.

"Do you think there are really fish in here?" First Treasure asked.

Fourth Treasure shook his head. "I don't know, but if Dad says there are, there must be."

Second Treasure stated confidently, "There are fish. I saw them last night!"

No sooner had she spoken than Lin Feng caught a sizable fish. He put it in a pre-prepared bag filled with some water and hung it on a tree branch by the pond. The quadruplets were overjoyed that he had caught something.

Behind them, the other children started showering him with praise.

"Wow, your dad is so cool! He can climb trees and fish!"

"And he can cook! I'm so jealous. My dad only knows how to drink."

Fourth Treasure boasted, "My dad doesn't smoke or drink. He spends all day with us!"

Second Treasure chimed in, "My dad's cooking is super delicious, like, really, really delicious!"

Third Treasure softly joined the chorus of praise. "My dad is super, super amazing. He can do anything!"

By the pond, the children chattered on, each discussing their own father. Lin Feng had a fruitful morning, catching eight palm-sized fish. Who would have thought such a small pond could hold so many? It was likely that no one ever fished here, so the fish were quite dopey and easy to hook.

Lin Feng found a pair of scissors and deftly cleaned the fish, planning to make fish soup for the children for lunch. He kept two for his family and gave the rest to Mr. Li to distribute.

Finding his own ingredients, huh? Not bad at all! Mr. Li thought.

He then shared some news with everyone. Chickens had been prepared for today's meal, but everyone had to catch their own.

The group was bewildered.

After cleaning the fish, Lin Feng took his children to pick vegetables, with a gaggle of other kids following close behind.

Helping Mom cook is boring! Following this uncle is way more fun! Besides, we heard they're going to catch chickens, and we want to see!

Hearing this, the children's parents hurried over as well.

The chicken coop was very clean, obviously having been swept recently. Inside were ten to twenty chickens. Lin Feng walked in and selected one.

Mr. Li, who had followed them over, said, "You can hand the chicken over to the cafeteria to be cleaned and prepared."

Lin Feng caught a chicken and, with a quick twist, pinned its wings behind its back, instantly subduing it.

An embarrassed parent from the group spoke up, "Um, could you… could you catch a chicken for me, too?"
