When they went to bed at night, Yang Xuan and Kong Tianyou insisted that Yang Yun tell a story, and Yang Yun told them the story of the three little pigs.

"Sister, the third pig is so smart." Yang Xuan felt that the third pig in the story was too smart.

In fact, what this story wants to tell us is that we must be patient and persevering in doing things from an early age, not giving up halfway, but also being diligent and brave. In this way, when you grow up, you will become a brave, responsible, and responsible man. Yang Yun also hoped that Yang Yong and Yang Xuan could become such people when they grew up.

"Xiao Xuan will also be a brave man who stands up to the sky in the future." Kong Tianyou also nodded in agreement, indicating that he also wanted to be such a person. Yang Yun was afraid that Kong Tianyou would not understand Zhoujiacun's words, so he used official dialect to tell stories and talk to Yang Xuan.

"Okay, the two men in the future, now that the story is over, hurry up and go to bed, and tomorrow you have to get up early to work, you can't be lazy." The two children finally fell asleep, Yang Yun gently touched their foreheads, thinking of the two children's same life experience, and sighed in her heart, life is not easy, and it is not easy to live.

Sleeping until midnight at night, I was in a daze as if I heard the cry of a child, Yang Yun suddenly had a spirit, opened her eyes, this cry seemed to come from the bed, could it be that Kong Tianyou was crying, Yang Yun hurriedly got out of bed and lit the oil lamp, and looked into the bed, Kong Tianyou seemed to have a nightmare. I don't know what terrible thing I dreamed about, and I cried all the time.

Yang Yun got back into bed, crossed her arms over Yang Xuan, and gently patted Kong Tianyou's chest. Kong Tianyou had cold sweat on his forehead and body, if he didn't wipe him, he would definitely catch a cold, so Yang Yun had no choice but to push Yang Xuan awake.

"Sister, what's the matter?" Yang Xuan looked at Yang Yun with sleepy eyes, not knowing why his sister woke him up in the middle of the night.

"Tianyou seems to have a nightmare, you get out of bed and go to the cabinet to help my sister get a dry cloth towel, and then bring a set of Tianyou's clothes."

Yang Xuan also saw Kong Tianyou crying, and immediately slid out of bed and ran to the cabinet to find cloth towels and clothes. When Yang Yun was helping Kong Tianyou pack up the package at night, Yang Xuan naturally saw Yang Yun and put Kong Tianyou's clothes in the cabinet where their sister and brother put their clothes.

Yang Yun lay down next to Kong Tianyou, gently hugged him in his arms, patted him on the back, comforted him softly, and told him, don't cry, don't be afraid.

Yang Xuan quickly brought a cloth towel, Yang Yun took the cloth towel to help Kong Tianyou wipe the cold sweat clean, and helped him change his clothes, Kong Tianyou gave Yang Yun a toss and woke up. After he woke up, he was a little scared and a little confused looking at Yang Yun, Yang Yun knew that some children suddenly went to a strange place, in addition to recognizing the bed, they would also have uneasy anxiety.

"God bless, God bless, are you awake?" Yang Yun looked at Kong Tianyou, who was in a daze, and called him several times before he came to his senses. After Kong Tianyou sobered up, he nodded to Yang Yun, and looked at Yang Yun with some embarrassment, because Yang Yun happened to be hugging him.

"It's good to wake up, do you want to drink water?" Kong Tianyou saw Yang Yun asking him, he was indeed a little thirsty, so he nodded with Yang Yun, and Yang Xuan took the initiative to pour a bowl of water for Kong Tianyou. Kong Tianyou drank the water and lay down to sleep, Yang Yun threw Kong Tianyou's changed clothes at the end of the bed, waiting to be washed tomorrow.

The three of them went to bed again, the oil lamp on the table Yang Yun did not blow out again, the dark night will give people an inexplicable unease, and some light Kong Tianyou may feel better. This time, the sleeping position of the three people was changed, Yang Xuan slept to the outermost, and Yang Yun lay in the middle and hugged Kong Tianyou to sleep.

Yang Xuan looked at Kong Tianyou with some envy, feeling that his sister's position around him was his own, and then he thought that Kong Tianyou had no father and mother like himself, and he still had grandfather, grandmother, brother and sister. He just had a nightmare again, let him do it himself, who made him smaller than himself. Yang Xuan also closed his eyes and went to sleep after doing a lot of mental construction.

And Yang Yun hugged Kong Tianyou, patted him on the back gently, and sang the lullaby that Yang Xuan could often hear, and finally Kong Tianyou fell asleep peacefully, Yang Yun sighed silently, and also closed his eyes to sleep.

The next day, Yang Yun and Yang Yong got up early to go to the mountain to cut pigweed, Yang Xuan and they were still sleeping, and Yang Yun didn't plan to call them, they tossed in the middle of the night last night, and the two children were growing up, and they had enough sleep.

"Sister, what happened to you last night, it seems that you heard a sound, and then it will be gone for a while, and the oil lamp in your room has been on for a long time."

"Tianyou may have recognized the bed last night, got up in the middle of the night and cried, and then woke him up, he drank water and went down to sleep, and my sister was afraid that he would drink water again in the middle of the night, so the oil lamp was not blown out."

"I thought something was going on last night, I wanted to go over and take a look, but I didn't hear a sound for a while, and I knew that if you had something, you would definitely call me, so I didn't go."

"Well, there was nothing wrong last night, God bless went to sleep after drinking water." In the past, Yang Xuan would occasionally get up in the middle of the night to drink water, or go to the thatched house, and sometimes Yang Yun asked him to get up and go to the thatched house. Because he went to bed too early, he was afraid that he would wet the bed, unlike in his previous life, when he went to bed at twelve o'clock at night, he could sleep until dawn. In Haoguo, sometimes it is dark at eight or nine o'clock at night, and it is strange that children do not wet the bed for such a long time.

The brother and sister cut two baskets of pigweed and went home, and the pigweed had to be cooked and mixed with bran before they could be fed to the pigs. Yang Yun boiled the pig food, asked Yang Yong to light the fire, took some flour plus eggs and green onions, and spread a few chive cakes. When he helped Kong Tianyou pack the package last night, he found two hundred taels of silver tickets in his cloth bag, thinking that it was left to him by his grandfather, the Yang family would not use the money, Yang Yun found a purse and asked Kong Tianyou to put away the silver ticket by himself, he learned Yang Xuan to hide the purse under the pillow, Yang Yun laughed in his heart, this is also called hiding things, and he will find it out as soon as he finds it.

Breakfast was chive cakes, a pot of polenta, and some braised pigs left over from last night, and Yang Yun cut a plate of pickled radish. After finishing all this, it was a little late to see the sun, so he went to the room to wake up Yang Xuan and the others, and asked the two of them to go to Dr. Xu's house to study together after breakfast, which was explained by Dr. Xu.

When he was eating in the morning, Yang Yun looked at Kong Tianyou at the dinner table and was in good spirits, thinking that last night's nightmare did not affect him, children sometimes dream at night and forget when they get up during the day. Yang Yun told the two of them to be obedient when they went to Dr. Xu's house, and they couldn't run around, so they went home for dinner at noon, both of them nodded obediently, and after breakfast, the two of them went to Dr. Xu's house hand in hand.

The family was busy with their own affairs after breakfast, and Yang Yun told Yang Yong to call Li Dabao that they were going to dig bamboo shoots today. Yang Yun is ready to make bamboo shoots into dried bamboo shoots, dried bamboo shoots can be stored for a long time, just soak them in water when cooking, the dried bamboo shoots have strong oil absorption, and they taste chewy and fragrant. And Yang Yun went to the river to wash the family's clothes by herself.

After Yang Yun washed the clothes, she took the bamboo mat used for drying things at home to the river and washed it, which could be used to dry bamboo shoots when the time came. When Yang Yun finished washing the bamboo mat and went to the bamboo forest, Yang Yong and the others dug two baskets of bamboo shoots, and Yang Yun also joined the ranks of digging bamboo shoots.

"Sister Yun, where can we finish digging so many bamboo shoots, and there is no jar at home to pickle bamboo shoots." Although Xiaobao does whatever Yang Yun asks him to do, but today I saw Yang Yun let them dig so many bamboo shoots, and I felt that there was really something to eat.

"The bamboo shoots dug today don't need to be pickled in jars, let's dry the bamboo shoots into dried bamboo shoots, and the dried bamboo shoots will be fine for a year and a half."

"Sister Yun, how can you do anything."

"Hehe, I learned from this book."

"Oh, there's still this stuff to learn from books."

"Well, Grandpa Xu has a lot of books and a few miscellaneous books, as long as you read more books, you can learn a lot from books."

"That Xiaobao will also study more in the future."

"You should study more, Kong Tianyou's grandfather will be a gentleman in our village in the future, and you can go to the school to study."

"Sister Yun, when will Kong Tianyou's grandfather come back?" Everyone knows that Kong Tianyou lives in the Yang family, and they also know that his grandfather is going back to his hometown for a while.

"It should be soon, I don't know exactly when I'll be back." Xiaobao saw that Yang Yun didn't know Kong Zhongkan's return date, so he didn't ask more, and buried himself in digging up bamboo shoots. Yang Yun sincerely hopes that Kong Zhongkan can come back as soon as possible.

The four of them waited until almost noon to pull the four baskets of bamboo shoots back to Yang's house, and there was a four-wheeled cart to pull things, saving time and effort. After eating lunch and resting for a while, I began to peel the skin of the bamboo shoots, wash the skin of the bamboo shoots and cut them into strips, and then add salt to the bamboo shoots, mix them in proportion and stir them evenly in the bucket, so that after placing them for half an hour, the bamboo shoots begin to soften and come out of the water.

Yang Yun found a densely woven bamboo basket, washed it, poured the bamboo shoots that began to come out of the water into the bamboo basket, spread a layer of clean cloth on the bamboo basket, and then spread a thin layer of straw, and asked Yang Yong to bring a few large stones and press them on top of the bamboo shoots, so that the bamboo shoots were pressured and squeezed out more water, and the bamboo shoots should be pressed for at least a day before they could be poured out to bask in the sun.

Now the adults of the two families don't care what Yang Yun is doing, anyway, with Yang Yun taking the lead, every time they are busy, it is beneficial to the two families, and the adults are used to it. Grandpa and Uncle Li have been busy with the work of the 12 acres of wheat land in the right mountain recently, and the two big pits of manure in the right mountain, after the last spring rain, Yang Yun asked Yang Yong and them to carry a lot of rotten leaves and the soil under the leaves into the big pit, and also poured the chicken coop and the fertilizer of the thatched pit together to make manure.

There are more than 30 chickens in Yang's yard, and two piglets were raised yesterday, and now the house is very lively. Yang Yun is willing to give the eggs picked up in the chicken coop to her family, and she has to eat eggs once a day or two days, and only those who can't finish it will be taken to the grocery store and exchanged for other food with Aunt Wednesday.
