Yun Fusheng was somewhat flattered.
He had just overheard Yun Dazheng telling his father and Wansheng to get out, and fearing being caught in the crossfire, he didn't dare to show his face. He was only thinking that even if his grandfather got angry and kicked him out, he had to fix the stove, otherwise they wouldn't be able to work properly.
Hearing Yun Dazheng's gentle words, he was taken aback for a moment before nodding repeatedly and saying, "Yes, Grandpa, the stove has been repaired, but it needs to be left to sit in the shade for two days before it can be used. I'll build another stove for you with stones in the yard, so you can make do for a couple of days. Is that alright?"
“Okay.” Yun Dazheng nodded and pointed to a corner of the yard, saying, “You build it under the sycamore tree over there. Otherwise, it’ll be fine in the morning and evening, but cooking at noon will make everyone swelter.”
Lu Zhimin nodded and said, "It would be best to build a shed. At the very least, there should be something on top to cover it, so that leaves, insects, ants, and the like don't fall into the pot." Then he looked at Yun Dazheng and said, "Uncle, how about we make a wooden frame and weave a simple mat out of bamboo strips?"
“Okay.” Yun Dazheng nodded and looked at Lu Zhimin, saying, “Then I’ll have to trouble you again.”
Lu Zhimin said no need to be polite and went to help weave bamboo mats.
Just as Yun Fusheng was about to build the stove, Yun Qishi, holding a kitchen knife, said, "Fusheng, let your grandfather build the stove. Go and fetch a bucket of water for Grandma. Grandma needs it."
"Grandma, are you going to kill a chicken?" Seeing Yun Qi's posture, Yun Duo knew what she was going to do. She ran to Yun Qi's side, hugged her arm, and asked sweetly.
“Yes, kill a chicken. Our Duo’er picked up a wild pheasant, let’s kill it and have a meal today, it’ll be a good treat.” Yun Qi said, then snorted, her voice filled with dissatisfaction, “Other people are willing to spend money to buy meat, can’t Grandma bear to eat a chicken she picked up?”
Yun Fusheng was a little embarrassed. He knew that his grandmother was dissatisfied. When the family property was divided, his mother complained about being poor and only gave the two elderly people ten yuan. His father, however, said that he wanted to take one yuan to buy two catties of meat to eat. He watched as the old lady hesitated for a few moments but didn't say anything in the end. She just touched her head and said, "Grandma, I'll go fetch water first." With that, she picked up the water buckets and fled out of the yard.
“Sigh…” Madam Yun Qi glanced at Yun Fusheng’s back and let out a long sigh.
“Grandma… Grandma…” Yun Duo tugged at Yun Qi’s sleeve, leaned close to Yun Qi’s ear, and whispered, “It’s okay, Duo’er will go find the beehives to sell later, and then we’ll have money to spend. We can spend our own money and buy whatever we want.”
One yuan can buy two jin of meat, and five yuan is roughly equivalent to over a hundred yuan in the last world. A beehive is worth over a hundred yuan, which is not bad. But... Yun Youtian is really stingy, only giving his grandparents the money for a few dozen jin of meat... Does he really think the old folks aren't earning money for the family?
Although Yunduo didn't intend for the Yunyoutian family to have money, she was still a little worried that the old man might be upset. She secretly resolved to find more beehives to sell, not for any other reason than to make the old man happy.
Before she could finish speaking, Madam Yun Qi nervously hugged her and gave her a couple of light pats on her bottom: "Don't talk nonsense! Do you think honeycomb with sugar is so easy to find? Not only is it hard to find, but even if you do find it, it's always hanging high up in the trees. You're just a little girl, you were lucky this time, but you're not allowed to climb trees again. What if you fall down? Do you want your grandpa and grandma to live? Do you hear me?"
"Mmm, Grandma, Grandma, I won't climb trees, don't worry." Sensing Yun Qi's nervousness, Yun Duo quickly raised her little hand to assure her.
Of course, it just means she doesn't climb trees; after all, she doesn't need to climb trees to get honey.
