"Duo'er, go back too." After Yun Qishi agreed to go back and cook, Yun Dazheng said to Yun Duo.
"I don't want to, I want to throw away the seeds." Yun Duo shook her head.
"You silly child," Yun Dazheng said with a hint of helplessness, "Helping Grandpa with chores is helping, and helping Grandma with chores when you go back is also helping. The chores on this slope can be done one by one, and Grandpa can manage by himself. But where is your Grandma? Someone has to help her tend the fire, right? Otherwise, how can your Grandma manage to tend the fire and do other things at the same time? Doesn't Duo'er want to eat the rabbit meat that your Grandma makes as soon as possible?"
"Yes!" Yun Duo replied very quickly. After thinking for a moment, she felt that Yun Dazheng's words made sense, so she nodded again and said, "Then Grandma, go back first. I'll put the corn seeds away and then go back to help Grandma start the fire. There aren't many left, so we can make it in time. I won't dawdle; I'll be done in no time."
This child has admitted that he was dawdling.
Yun Dazheng shook his head with a smile, thinking that distributing seedlings wasn't really hard work, it was just that the sun was too strong and he felt a little sorry for his little granddaughter. But seeing that his little granddaughter had put it that way, Yun Dazheng had no choice but to agree.
"Alright, then go back after you've finished throwing out the corn seeds."
"Yes, yes, I'll be right there!" Yun Duo nodded quickly, and then said to Yun Qi Shi, "Grandma, Grandma, you go back first. Duo'er will be back to tend the fire in a little while. You have to wait for me."
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you." Madam Yun Qi nodded with a smile, then teased Yun Duo, "Our little Duo'er is the most diligent. She always rushes to help Grandpa and Grandma with the chores on the hillside, and she also rushes to help Grandpa and Grandma with the chores at home. Otherwise, she won't enjoy her meals, will she?"
"I'm not helping Grandpa and Grandma." Yun Duo shook her head, putting on a 'sensible' look, and looked at Yun Qi Shi and said, "Duo'er is also a member of the family. It's only right that I do these chores within my ability. Grandpa and Grandma feel sorry for Duo'er, so Duo'er should also feel sorry for Grandpa and Grandma."
"Good, good boy, so well-behaved."
Hearing Yun Duo's words, the elderly couple couldn't stop smiling, feeling as refreshed as if they had just drunk a cup of cool tea to relieve the heat and worries.
Yun Qishi didn't linger any longer. She put the two still-dazed rabbits into her basket, covered them with grass, and slowly walked down the slope home.
Yun Duo quickened her pace, bending slightly over as she rapidly tossed corn seeds into the holes Yun Da Zheng had prepared. However, being small and weak, and having never done much farm work in her previous life, she wasn't actually very fast, even with her increased speed. It took her more than half an hour to fill the remaining row and a half of the holes.
"Alright, Duo'er, hurry back after you've finished throwing the seeds. Your grandma is still waiting for you at home."
Although Yun Dazheng was also working, he kept an eye on Yun Duo's progress. As soon as he saw that she had finished her work, he urged her to go back.
Although she had long ago made up her mind to work hard and "farm" with her grandparents, Yun Duo still had an almost instinctive aversion to pure farmyard manure because she had spent her previous life working in a bright office after finishing her studies. Of the remaining chores, besides throwing away farmyard manure, she couldn't do anything else. So, even without Yun Dazheng urging her, Yun Duo would have gone back.
So when Yun Dazheng urged her, Yun Duo obediently replied, "Okay, Grandpa, I'll go back now." She added, "Grandpa, you should go home early too."
