"Grandpa, there's something I'd like to discuss with you." The three of them, young and old, were sitting in the yard picking vegetables when Yunduo spoke up after a short while.
"What is it that you need to discuss with Grandpa?" Hearing Yun Duo's words, Yun Dazheng looked up at Yun Duo and asked with a smile.
“Grandpa is the head of the family, so of course we should discuss things with him,” Yun Duo said with a smile. She paused for a moment, then continued, “Actually, it’s quite simple. Xiao Jiu can still manage a few more bee colonies. Before, I didn’t dare tell Grandpa about Xiao Jiu, so I didn’t dare keep many bees, afraid that I wouldn’t know how to answer him if he asked. But now that Grandpa and Grandma know about Xiao Jiu, why don’t we keep a few more bee colonies? Grandpa just needs to make the beehives, and Xiao Jiu will come back with a new queen bee and a new colony.”
Upon hearing this, Yun Dazheng nodded and said, "If Xiao Jiu can manage it, it would be good to raise more bee colonies and make more money. It's a good thing. But we can't let Xiao Jiu bring them back directly, otherwise, it will arouse suspicion from others, and we won't be able to explain it."
Yun Duo understood Yun Dazheng's meaning and thought it made sense. She looked at Yun Dazheng and said, "So, Grandpa, do you mean we should still take the beehives out to look for them to see?"
"Hmm." Yun Dazheng nodded and said, "Anyway, there are already people vying to help us farm the land at home, so we can take this opportunity to go out and bring back a couple more beehives. When we go out, we'll carry the beehives out and put a honeycomb with honey in them. If anyone asks, we'll say we trapped them. After all, bees need sugar, so it makes sense, and people won't believe us."
“Okay.” Yun Duo nodded readily and said, “Then I’ll listen to Grandpa.”
Just then, Yun Qi suddenly asked Yun Duo, "Duo'er, can Xiao Jiu manage all the bees?"
Yun Duo was about to say "yes," the words were on the tip of her tongue, when she suddenly realized that Yun Qi Shi had said "bees," not honeybees, but a general term for all bee species. She paused, then corrected herself, "I don't know, Grandma. Maybe she can't manage them all?"
"Then ask it and see if it can manage everything," Yun Qi said with a hint of anticipation.
"Oh, okay." Seeing Yun Qi's posture, Yun Duo suddenly felt that it might be related to Yun Lao Er's family, so she first communicated with Xiao Jiu in her mind, and then 'fumbled' to take Xiao Jiu off her hair tie, put her in her palm, and looked at Xiao Jiu and asked, "Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu, Grandma is asking you, can you manage all the bees?"
Xiao Jiu shook her head, just as she had discussed with Yun Duo.
Upon seeing this, Yun Qi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. She then continued, "Where are the wasps? Duo'er, ask Xiao Jiu if it can control the wasps, the ones around here, the common ones, the big ones, can it handle them?"
Yun Duo was now truly certain that Yun Qishi's sudden question was related to Yun Youliang and the others. She couldn't quite describe her feelings, but she still repeated Yun Qishi's question, thus 'asking' Xiao Jiu.
Xiao Jiu shook her head again.
Yun Qishi grew increasingly disappointed, muttering, "No way... I thought Xiao Jiu was bigger than a wasp and could control it, what a pity..." She shook her head as she spoke. However, because she felt that even if Xiao Jiu was intelligent, it was still just a small insect and she didn't think it could lie like a human, she didn't say anything more about Yun Youliang and the others.
Looking at his granddaughter and wife's uncomfortable faces, Yun Dazheng couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
