For the next afternoon, Yao Henuan and Su Weishui helped Yu Yi take care of it in the small garden. In fact, it was Yu Yi who said that they were doing it.

Professor Su did not know what the common name of these flowers was, only the scientific name, and he could only identify them based on their impressions.

Yao Henuan is commonly known as not knowing a few, and the scientific name is not knowing a few, but this afternoon I have met a lot with Su Weishui and Yu Yi.

Although the garden is not large, it only occupies a small part of the yard, but it is rich in variety. Yu Yi knows a lot more flower varieties than Yao and Nuanke, and is more familiar with the habits of each flower.

It didn't take long for the afternoon to pass.

Dusk was approaching, Su Weishui began to prepare dinner, and Yao Henuan still ran to help him.

On the other side of the small yard, there are a lot of seasonal vegetables, and Yao Henuan even saw a few strawberries in it, but now it is past the season.

After getting Yu Gui's consent, Su Shushui went to pick some vegetables that were enough for today's dinner.

When Su Weishui didn't need her to help, Yao Henuan ran into the small room, and when he came out again, he hugged two small watermelons in his arms.

The watermelon is not big, and when he was in the fourth district, Yao Hexiao could dig and eat half of it by himself.

There happens to be a well in the small courtyard of the Yu family, but now Yu Gui and the others don't use the well much, and they all use tap water directly.

Yao Henuan put the two watermelons into the bucket next to him and sank the bucket again. In rural villages, it is naturally best to chill it with well water!

After eating, they moved a small bench in the yard, eating watermelons and blowing the evening breeze, listening to the cicadas and telling stories.

Just thinking about it makes you feel at ease!

At this time, Su Shushui had already made dinner, and Yao Henuan pulled the two little girls to wash their hands and eat. After eating, Yao Henuan asked them to move a small bench and sit in the courtyard. Yao Henuan went to wash the dishes, and handed over the task of scooping up the watermelon to Professor Su!

Su Weishui only took one watermelon, and the other continued to be put in the well.

"Why do you still take watermelon?" Su Shushui cut the watermelon in the kitchen, and all of them were cut into medium-sized triangles, and one or two bites could be eaten.

"Gluttony," Yao Henuan just finished washing the dishes, took a piece from the plate and took a bite, then reached out and took a piece and handed it to Su Shushui, "You should eat chilled watermelon in summer!"

Su Shushui took the watermelon by himself, and he was very curious about what Yao Henuan still brought in the corpse box.

After the watermelon was cut, Su Weishui carried the plate, and Yao Henuan went to move a bench to put the plate.

Yao and Nuan took two pieces and handed them to Yu Guiyi.

She looked up at the starry sky. Compared to the imperial capital, the starry sky here is obviously brighter. There are no flat high-rise buildings to block the view, and there is no haze to hide the splendor of the starry sky. It's easy to see the Big Dipper hanging high in the starry sky.

Bucket handle guide, the world is summer.

The Big Dipper is in the body parts of Ursa Major, and Yao and Nuan quickly outlined the outline of Ursa Major. Following the Big Dipper, I immediately found the North Star near it. The North Star is in the body part of the constellation Ursa Minor.

Yao Henuan looked down and saw that the sisters' watermelons had already been eaten, and Su Shushui handed them two more pieces. Yao Henuan touched Yu Gui's hair next to him and said with a smile: "I'll tell you a story about the Big Dipper." ”

"In ancient times, the Big Dipper was called the Big Dipper. As the saying goes, "The South Dipper is destined for life, and the Beidou is destined for death", which believes that the Beidou Divine Monarch holds the power of life and death of people. Legend has it that Peng Zu begged for life to the Beidou, so there is a myth that he lived for 800 years. ”

"According to legend, the Beidou originally had nine stars, two of which were hidden deep in the bucket, which was the location of the Jade Emperor's original god, which was not easy to be seen, and if someone saw it, it could prolong life. Legend has it that there was a servant in the family of Huo Guang, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and one day he saw two bright stars in the dipper of the Big Dipper, and he bowed down reverently, thus increasing his life expectancy by 600 years. ”

"The Big Dipper in the west refers to the seven stars of Ursa Major, Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Shaking Light. The ancients imagined that these seven stars were linked to the bucket shape of the ancient scooping wine, Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, and Tianquan were composed of a bucket body, which was called Kui in ancient times, and Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Shaoguang were composed of a bucket handle, which was called a ladle in ancient times. The Big Dipper appears in different positions in the sky at different times of the day and in different seasons and at different nights. ”

Therefore, the ancients decided the seasons according to the direction of the bucket handle at the beginning of dusk: the bucket handle points to the east, the world is spring, the bucket handle guide, the world is summer, the bucket handle points to the west, the world is autumn, and the bucket handle points to the north, the world is winter. ”

"I also want to see the Big Dipper......" Yu Gui muttered quietly.

Yao Henuan touched her head and whispered, "I'll see." ”

The speaker has no intention and the listener has the intention.

Yao Henuan's words of comfort made Yu Gui's body stiffen, and he thought uncontrollably in his mind, would Yao Henuan know that they could see it at all!

However, Yao Henuan didn't realize Yu Gui's stiffness, and said, "Do you want to live a long life when you are less than Gui?"

"I don't want to," Yu Gui shook his head, "I just want my sister to live her life safely." ”

Yu Gui didn't dare to ask for a lifespan of hundreds of years, the only hope was for the rest of his life, so that he could live an ordinary and peaceful life.

Other than that, it's all extravagant hopes.

Yao Henuan and Su Shushui heard this sentence, and Yu Yi also heard it. Her white covered eyes seemed to be able to see, and she looked up in the direction of Yu Gui.

Yao Henuan didn't say anything about Yu Gui's words, just gently touched her hair.

If she can't make a promise, she won't say it. She shouldn't have let them see the hope they shouldn't have. Peace is indeed too difficult for these two sisters. And Yao Henuan couldn't guarantee their safety.

is also a person who can't help herself, and she Yao and Nuan can't do anything.

"Let's go back. Su Weishui saw that it was a little late, so he spoke.

Yao Henuan nodded in agreement. Yu Guihe Yu Yi also nodded lightly.

Let Yu Guiyi enter the house first, Yao Henuan packed up the things in the courtyard and took them back to the house, boiled a pot of water in the kitchen, and washed the two of them.

Yao Henuan carried the water to Yu Gui's room, leaving the small room to Su Weishui. After Yao and Nuan helped the sisters wash, they also washed it simply.

Yao Henuan is now feeling physically and mentally exhausted. is obviously still a girl over flowers, but she has experienced the hardships of being a mother in advance!

But think about it, even if she is a mother now, it is with Su Shushui, of course she can do anything!

When Su Weishui came out of the small room, Yao Henuan pulled Yu Gui and Yu Yi to sit in the hall. I'm going to wrap their nails with the nail grass I picked in the afternoon.
