Huang Xiaohua is Huang Dazhuang's daughter. She is ten years old this year. In the countryside, a child of this age can already be equivalent to half a strong laborer.
Having Huang Xiaohua help take care of the children would indeed make things easier for Yu Rujia, but there were too many things in her family that were out of step with the times, and Yu Rujia didn't want to keep her around and cause her trouble.
Yu Rujia: "The children are all well-behaved. As long as they have food, they can play happily on the side. I've been tidying up at home these past two days, and I can keep an eye on the children. I don't need to trouble Xiaohua to come over."
After making an appointment with Huang Dazhuang to visit Sun Qingqing for a follow-up visit two days later in the morning, Yu Rujia saw her off.
At night, after the children had fallen asleep, Yu Rujia went into the bathroom, closed the door, and entered the space to install the water pressure device.
The old monster who has lived for hundreds of thousands of years knows many skills. As a former master of refining and mechanics, making a water pressure device is just a piece of cake for her. After finishing it, she can go back to her room and take a nap.
After two days of hard work, the water pressure well was finally completed. The main reason was that I had to look after a few little guys all the time and do a lot of chores, so the time I spent on the water pressure well was limited every day.
In any case, the water pressure well has been built and the wellhead is sealed tightly. From now on, we don’t have to worry about the kids accidentally falling into the well while playing in the backyard.
Yu Rujia held Duoxi in one hand, held Duolu's hand in the other, and walked out of the house where they had stayed for a few days with Duofu holding Duoshou's hand.
Since arriving at Shangfen Brigade, the little ones have been spending most of their time in the backyard and courtyard, barely even visiting the front yard, let alone leaving their home.
It was true that Yu Rujia and Xia Jingrong had been very busy these days and could not take them out for a walk, so they had to leave them at home.
Fortunately, these kids are young, have companions around them, and are surrounded by familiar adults. The kids are having fun and don’t really want to go out to play.
It was their first time going out, and the new environment kept the little ones' big eyes busy.
Several groups of children were playing and fighting in the middle of the road. When they saw Duofu and several chubby white children appear, they stopped playing out of curiosity.
These children are very familiar with Rujia. After all, there are not many people in the team who can do such a thing as exchanging candies for stones. Many children have exchanged with her. Yu Rujia is now a well-known prodigal son in the team.
Erdan, the leader of the group, wiped the sweat from his face and ran over, looking up at her with his little face, saying, "Aunt Yu, is this the child you brought back?"
Erdan is the youngest son of Captain Huang of the Shangfen Brigade. He is eight years old this year and is at the age where he is very mischievous.
Yu Rujia squatted down so the little guy wouldn't have to look up at her anymore, and handed him a few fruit candies.
Yu Rujia: "Yes, the one I'm holding is Duoxi, and this one is Duoshou, Duolu, and Duofu. Could Erdan please take them to play with from now on?"
Erdan took the fruit candy and patted his chest happily: "Leave it to me! Hello, my name is Erdan, you can just call me Brother Erdan. I'll take you guys out to play from now on."
Duofu nodded like a little adult: "Okay, Brother Erdan, when my little brother is a bit older, we'll come and play with you."
Duo Shou greeted them in a childish voice: "Er Dan, Brother Dan."
Duolu called out "Brother Erdan" and his big eyes darted curiously over Erdan's body.
Erdan was initially annoyed that Duoshou and Duolu were too young and didn't want to play with them, but after hearing their sweet, childlike voices, he instantly felt that having such younger brothers was wonderful.
Erdan generously said, "It's okay, we can bring our little brother to play together."
The other children ran over, and Yu Rujia gave each of them candy. It was Duofu and the others' first appearance in the brigade, so they had to take it seriously.
After sending the children away, Yu Rujia took Duofu and the others to Huang Dazhuang's house.
It has been more than a week since the last time I treated Sun Qingqing. She was too busy before and had no time to come for a follow-up visit. Now that her house is almost decorated, she can finally make time to come.
She also planned to buy some furniture from Huang Dazhuang's house. The house was empty. Apart from the pots, pans, buckets, a low table, a few small stools and two beds that Yu Rujia initially took out from the space, there was nothing else. All of these needed to be purchased.
She saved Sun Qingqing's life, so it's not excessive to use some ordinary furniture to pay for the medical expenses.
Huang Dazhuang went to work. Huang Xiaohua, who had received his instructions, stayed at the door all day, fearing that Yu Rujia would come and leave without seeing them.
When she saw her, Huang Xiaohua's face lit up with joy: "Yu Zhiqing, you're here! Come in quickly, these must be the children you brought back, right? They're so good-looking."
Duofu and his friends were good-looking. Compared with the other black, thin and dirty children in the brigade, Duofu and his friends, who were fair, tender and clean, looked like fairies who had descended to earth. Everyone who saw them praised them for their good looks.
After introducing each of the children, Sun Qingqing heard the voices and slowly walked out of the house.
Sun Qingqing: "Your Educated Youth Yu is here. Come in and sit down to talk. Xiaohua, bring some tea. Knowing that Your Educated Youth Yu is so busy, my husband still came to see you. I'm so sorry for causing you trouble."
More than a week later, Sun Qingqing no longer needed to hold on to the wall to walk. Although she walked a little slower, her health was getting better every day, making her full of hope for survival. She no longer spoke with the weak voice seen last time.
Following the mother and daughter's greetings, Yu Rujia led the children inside.
Yu Rujia: "Sister-in-law Dazhuang, you're too kind. I'm the one who should apologize. I was supposed to come for your follow-up appointment a week later, but some kids suddenly came to visit, and I was too busy to come. That's why I'm two days late. I hope you don't mind."
Sun Qingqing: "Yu Zhiqing is a kind-hearted person who can't bear to see people suffer. If it weren't for you, I would still be lying in bed right now. Your presence is the greatest help you can give me."
Huang Dazhuang was a carpenter, and many things in his home were made of wood, such as wooden bowls, plates, and spoons. Since there was no shortage of wood on the mountain, no one bought his products, so he gave them to himself.
Huang Xiaohua, who had plenty of bowls, poured water for all the guys.
Yu Rujia: "Thank you, Xiaohua. May you have many blessings, prosperity, and longevity. Thank you, Xiaohua."
The Duofu brothers obediently thanked Huang Xiaohua, and even Duoxi followed his brothers' footsteps and made two "ah ah" sounds, seemingly to express his gratitude.
Sun Qingqing smiled and said, "These little kids are so sensible. They make my heart melt. No wonder Yu Zhiqing brought them back."
Yu Rujia: "They're still young, they do whatever the adults tell them to do. When they get older, they'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles. Sister-in-law Dazhuang, how are you feeling? Is anything bothering you?"
