In the old courtyard, Yun Qishi saw a mat that could move on its own outside the dilapidated fence and thought she was seeing things.
When she saw that it was Yunduo, a tiny little girl, carrying a mat taller than herself on her back like a baby, she was both amused and worried. She quickly put down what she was holding and tiptoed to take Yunduo from her, saying, "Yunduo is awake? You child, why did you carry the mat over here? If it's hard for you to carry, just leave it. Grandma will get it for you in a bit."
"It's alright." Yun Duo obediently let Yun Qi take the mat from her back, and looked up at Yun Qi with a bright smile: "It's just a mat, I can carry it." She paused, then compared her height with her own, a little embarrassed, and said: "It's just that the mat is too long, and I'm too short."
Looking at Yun Duo's rosy cheeks from the heat and hard work, and seeing that she was about the same height as her four-year-old great-grandson, Yun Qi felt a pang of sadness and said, "Good child, we'll grow taller if we eat more in the future."
"Mmm." Seeing the sadness and guilt in the old woman's eyes, Yun Duo quickly tried to appear more 'lively', nodding repeatedly and saying 'innocently', "Grandma, don't worry, Duo'er will definitely eat well in the future and try to grow tall."
Yun Qi nodded quickly and said, "Good, good. Our Duo'er is growing tall." At the same time, she secretly made up her mind that even if she went hungry, she would not let her poor little granddaughter suffer any more.
Yun Duo followed Yun Qi Shi into the courtyard, where there was a lot of clanging and rattling, creating a lively atmosphere. Once inside, they realized the number of people was incorrect.
Why are there other people besides my uncle and his family? They look somewhat familiar, but I don't recognize the other three men of varying ages in the original owner's memories. One of them is older, while the other two are about the same age as my eldest cousin, Yun Fusheng.
"Duo'er is awake. Come here to your uncle. I have something for you." A middle-aged man with a rather sturdy build was sawing wood when he saw Yun Duo come in. He smiled warmly, put down his saw, and waved to Yun Duo.
"Duo'er, this is your village chief uncle." Seeing that Yun Duo looked a little lost, Yun Qishi knew that the child had been driven around like an ox by Zhao Cuifen and didn't know anyone in the village. She quickly said to Yun Duo.
Yun Duo quickly flashed a sweet smile and greeted the village chief, "Hello, Uncle Village Chief, thank you for helping us." As she spoke, she walked towards the village chief.
"No need to thank me." Lu Zhimin, the village chief of Lujia Village, said with a smile, looking at Yun Duo in a joking tone. Then, he looked at Yun Qishi and said, "She's such a well-behaved and lovely girl, Aunt Qi. She's a good girl. Your life might be a little difficult now, but you'll definitely have a time to enjoy happiness later. Don't worry." There was an inexplicable flattery in his tone.
"Okay, okay. Thank you, Village Chief. I appreciate your kind words." Yun Qi nodded repeatedly and said with gratitude, "We really owe you a lot. If it weren't for you bringing the navy to help us, we don't know how long we would have been busy."
"It's my pleasure, it's my pleasure. We're all from the same village, it's only right that I help out. It's just a small favor," Lu Zhimin said politely.
When Yun Duo walked up to him, Lu Zhimin took out a colorful bill from his inner pocket and handed it to Yun Duo, saying, "Here, Duo girl, this is for you."
