After about three hours, they finally saw the shadow of Ye Family Village. Tuanzi was being held by Ye Yu, while Ye Wanying was also carrying a basket on her back.
"We're almost there!"
He wiped the sweat from his chin with his sleeve, and a few strands of hair fell down, clinging to his face because of the sweat.
Fortunately, I had eaten meat buns beforehand.
At this moment, Ye Wanying missed the modes of transportation of later generations. If all else failed, she would rather not ride an electric horse or use a shared bicycle.
"Yu, put Tuanzi down and walk by yourself. I've been carrying you all the way!" No matter how thin the baby is, he still weighs about 20 pounds. Ye Yu is still a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.
Hearing her mother's words, Tuanzi, though reluctant to get down (she was still a baby), said, "Aunt Yu, please put me down."
Ye Yu's hands were almost too sore to carry. She glanced at the village in the distance and said, "It's not far. I'll carry him." Ye Yu truly loved her nephew, whom she had only just met, and couldn't bear to let him walk on his own.
Okay...
When the two adults got home, they were so tired that they collapsed onto their chairs.
Mother Ye immediately drew a bucket of water from her own well: "You two sisters, come and wash your faces, cool off."
In this sweltering heat, well water from your own home is a great way to cool down.
As soon as Ye Wanying touched the cool well water with both hands, she shivered comfortably and exclaimed, "It's so refreshing!"
"Yu, what are you standing there for? Go wash your face at your sister's. I'll go heat up the food I left for you at noon, and we'll be able to eat soon!"
Ye's mother nudged Ye Yu, knowing full well that if Ye Yu went home now, she could forget about dinner; all she'd get was endless chores. This girl, with parents who favored sons over daughters, was truly unfortunate! Besides, it was so hot, and they'd carried their grandson all the way home; they had to at least let him have a meal.
"Auntie, no, I have to go back now, otherwise my mom will scold me again!" Ye Yu's face showed sadness, and her gaze towards Ye Wanying became envious.
Oh, fate!
Tears welled up and started to fall uncontrollably: "Auntie, cousin, I'm leaving!" she cried, covering her mouth with her sleeve as if to run away.
But Ye Wanying stopped her quickly: "What's the panic? Listen to me, eat before you go back. Your mother won't dare to say anything!"
Ha, no one can bully the people I want to protect!
As a former queen of the apocalypse, what difficulty could she possibly have in dealing with a few old women from the countryside?
Ye Yu was pulled by Ye Wanying to wash her face, and then walked into the main room. Two bowls of herbal tea were already served on the table, which must have been thanks to Ye's mother: "Drink up, this is herbal tea that my mother specially brewed. She added a little dried tangerine peel to it, which is refreshing, relieves summer heat, and stimulates the appetite."
"Cousin...I..." Ye Yu wanted to say something, but someone forced a bowl of tea into her hand.
Ye Wanying picked up her tea and gulped it down. As for Tuanzi, the child had a weak stomach and couldn't drink anything cold. Ye's mother had already poured warm tea into the baby bottle for the child, and now the child was probably sleeping like a log.
Ye Yu couldn't refuse again at this point. There's a saying in the village: "A dog won't be carried by a man!" She could only repay her aunt and cousin's kindness when she had the chance in the future.
