Yang Yun and Yang Yong went to Youshan, and happened to see Uncle Li and Dabao, father and son, repairing the fence of the wheat field. Yang Yun saw that some fences in the wheat field had been washed down by the rain on the mountain, or were crooked.
"Uncle Li, Brother Dabao."
"Yun girl, Xiao Yong, you are here."
"Well, the rain has just stopped, let's take a look, let's fix it together, hurry up." Yang Yun and Yang Yong joined in repairing the fence, it had to be repaired before dark, the wheat in the field had grown quite tall, and at this time it must not be spoiled by wild things, otherwise the two families would be busy in vain.
Yang Yun and they repaired for a while, and grandpa also came to the right mountain, and a few people repaired the fence much faster, and finally repaired all the fences before dark, and a few people went to the back mountain before going home. The water in the sweet potato field in the back mountain has receded a little, and the sweet potatoes are no longer submerged, and everyone finally returns home with peace of mind.
Yang Yun and the others returned home, grandma had already cooked the rice, Yang Yun washed her hands and feet, went to the kitchen to fry a few dishes, and the family went to rest after eating. Yang Yun went to see the rabbit before resting, and also helped the rabbit add water, and the rabbits were all fine.
At noon the next day, when Yang Xuan and the others came back for dinner, they told Yang Yun a good news, Kong Tianyou's grandfather had a letter. Kong Tianyou's grandfather asked someone to send a letter to Dr. Xu, Yang Xuan said that Dr. Xu told them that Kong Tianyou's grandfather had something to delay in Jiangnan, saying that he could wait for half a month before he could leave for Zhoujia Village, and Dr. Xu said that it would take half a month for the letter to come, and he would receive the letter, and Kong Tianyou's grandfather might have set off to Zhoujia Village.
In other words, Kong Tianyou will see his grandfather in half a month. Yang Yun is happy for Kong Tianyou, Kong Tianyou often thinks about his grandfather, Yang Yun sees it in his eyes, and feels sorry for him. Yang Yun hoped that Kong Tianyou's grandfather would come back more than anyone else, and now there is finally news. Kong Tianyou heard that his grandfather came to Zhoujia Village half a month later, and when he was happy at noon, he ate an extra bowl of rice, and he ended up eating.
The days passed unhurriedly, and Zhoujia Village finally ushered in June, and the hottest summer finally arrived. Now that the weather is hot, Yang Xuan and the others go to Dr. Xu's house to study, and they will come back from eight o'clock in the morning to eleven o'clock, and they will no longer go to Dr. Xu's house in the afternoon.
The vegetables and eggplants in the backyard of the Yang family, grandpa often picked some and sold them in the town, although the money he made was not much, but he could subsidize the family somewhat. After the vegetables are harvested, Yang Yun will replant the vegetables in the season, and now the Yang family's vegetables have to be eaten fresh every day.
Today is the day when I agreed with the villagers to dig a well, the weather is hot, and the water consumption at home is twice as high as before, Yang Yun looked at her grandfather and Yang Yong, and she was distressed to go to the river to fetch water, and the weather was too hot, grandpa They picked water once, and their clothes were soaked with sweat once, so under Yang Yun's repeated suggestions, grandpa finally agreed to dig a well in his yard.
Invite someone to dig a well, and if you want to have a meal at noon, Yang Yun went to Zhou's butcher's house early to order meat, and there are also green vegetables and fruits at home, and it is naturally no problem to entertain the villagers who help with the work. It took six days to dig the well, and the walls of the well were built with large stones, and the back of the stones had to be filled with small stones and sand to worry about the well water. Eventually, the well water settles down and becomes very clear.
According to Yang Yun's request, the well was built with a relatively high edge with stones, and Yang Yun asked her grandfather to use bamboo pieces to weave a manhole cover, and the well was usually covered when not in use, and there were children at home who had to take some precautions.
"Sister, do you think my grandfather will come back?" Kong Tianyou sat on a small stool, leaning on his knees with his two hands, supporting his chin with both hands, and looking in the direction of the village entrance, Yang's house was very close to the village entrance, so Kong Tianyou sat at the door of Yang's house, and he would definitely be the first to see his grandfather.
"Of course, didn't your grandfather write that he would come back, and your grandfather would definitely not lie to you." Since the last time I received a letter from Kong Tianyou's grandfather, calculate the time Kong Tianyou's grandfather, he will come back to Zhoujia Village in the next two days, Kong Tianyou comes back from Dr. Xu's house every day, he likes to move a small stool, sit at the door of the Yang family and wait for his grandfather.
"It's going to be so hot, you go back to the house with your sister to eat fruit first, and then you come to the door when it's cooler, okay?" Your grandfather will come to you when he comes back. "It's only three o'clock in the afternoon, and it's very hot, Kong Tianyou, a stupid boy, must sit at the door and wait for his grandfather.
Yang Yun pulled Kong Tianyou back to the house to eat the melon, the piece of melon found on the mountain, Yang Yun didn't sell it without Yang Yong, they all wanted to eat it at home, so they went to pick some pickled sugar and reed ginger to eat, and Uncle Li's family often picked it. Only two families knew about that place, and even if other villagers knew, they would rarely pick it up and eat it, because the villagers would naturally not pick and eat anything they didn't know.
Before eating the melon, Yang Yun put it in the well first, and then took it up to eat after the ice, in the hot weather, eating the cold melon really quenched the heat and quenched the thirst. After Kong Tianyou finished eating the melon, Yang Yun pulled him to play a game in the house, and after playing until four o'clock, he agreed to go to the door to sit and wait for his grandfather, and Yang Xuan also accompanied him to sit at the door. The two little radish heads were talking very lively, and they didn't know what they were discussing, Yang Yun saw that they didn't run around, and didn't care about them, and went to the vegetable garden in the backyard to pull weeds.
"Sister, God bless my brother's grandfather is back." Yang Yun was pulling grass in the backyard, and Yang Xuan ran out of breath to report to his sister.
"Yikes! Is Tianyou's grandfather really back? Yang Yun was very happy to hear the news.
"Yes, I just came back, you go and take a look, Tianyou's grandfather said to look for you."
"I'll go." Yang Yun stood up, patted the dirt off her body, ran to the kitchen to wash her hands, and then went to the house.
"Grandpa Kong, you're back." As soon as Yang Yun entered the house, she greeted Kong Zhongkan.
"Yes, Yun girl, I'm finally back, there is something delayed in Jiangnan, it turned out that I would come back in a month, but I didn't know that I didn't come back until now, this time is really troublesome for your family, help me take care of Tianyou." Kong Zhongkan was a little embarrassed, and wanted to apologize to the people of the Yang family, he originally said that he would leave his grandson in the Yang family to take care of him for a month, but who knew that he would come back after two months.
"Grandpa of God's blessing, where do you say, where will it be troublesome, our family has fewer children, and if there are more Tianyou, I don't know how lively it is, our family likes it very much." Grandpa also knew that Kong Zhongkan was a little reluctant to go.
Grandpa really likes Kong Tianyou, when grandpa is free, he will use bamboo to weave some toys for the two children to play with, and what Yang Xuan has, Kong Tianyou will also have a copy. Yang Yong is also really good to Kong Tianyou, he often carries the two children around the courtyard in circles, making the two children happy.
"It's because you don't dislike it, the Yang family has taken care of my grandson these days, and I am really grateful to the Yang family." After Kong Zhongkan finished speaking, he stood up and wanted to give his grandfather a thank you gift, but grandpa hurriedly supported Kong Zhongkan, grandpa naturally heard that Kong Zhongkan was an official before, how dare grandpa accept Kong Zhongkan's thank you.
