On August Sixteenth, Yezhi, Wolf Child, Black Treasure, Niu Niu, and Elder Brother Yu's family, who had just completed their household registration transfer, set off back to Tun.
Breathing in the unique freshness of the mountains, Yezhi stretched and asked, "Cart Master, how much longer until we get home?"
The Cart Driver, urging the horse-drawn carriage, cheerfully replied, "Missing home already?"
Yezhi nodded vigorously, "Yes, I miss it so much!"
Luo Fengjuan also sighed, "A golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse; it's still more comfortable to go home!"
As soon as the carriage entered Tun'er, they were surrounded by One Egg and the others playing in the small river. One Egg excitedly shouted, "Sister Ye!" Zhou Xiaomu ran up to the shore with his bare bottom and grabbed Xiao Fan's leg without letting go, "Xiao Fan, you're back!"
Xiao Fan was also very excited; he jumped off the carriage and hugged Zhou Xiaomu tightly. Black Treasure was panting with excitement, waving his paws and announcing to his siblings, "I'm back!" Niu Niu was nestled in Yezhi's arms, sleeping sweetly while listening to familiar voices.
The kids greeted them enthusiastically and sincerely. Yezhi proudly tossed her hair and called out, "One Egg, Er Zhu, come here!"
"Yo!" The three quickly gathered by the carriage.
Yezhi patted the sack beneath her and said, "This is for you!"
Zhou Xiaomu drooled and cheered, "Wow, so much candy! How can we eat it all?"
Yezhi blushed and replied, "This isn't candy!" The Little Beans all expressed their disappointment with wails.
One Egg quickly lifted the sack off the carriage while Er Zhu untied it. "Little people... books! A whole sack of Comic Books!" The surprise was overwhelming; the kids' expressions were priceless.
Elder Brother Yu and Sister Luo couldn't help but laugh at the kids' innocent expressions. They all agreed that Zhoujiatun was never short of laughter. Now they just needed to complete one last procedure before they could truly call themselves Zhoujiatun residents. From then on, there would be plenty of joyful days ahead!
While the adults were busy moving various daily necessities bought from the city, Xiao Fan, Wolf Child, Niu Niu, and Black Treasure rushed into the house. Black Treasure was especially busy; he had to squeeze past Big Yellow with his plump backside while also embracing two Big White geese affectionately. Xiao Fan dove into Aunt Zhou's embrace while Wolf Child enjoyed a face wash from Big Wolf's slobber.
"Auntie, I'm back!"
"Aunt Zhou, we're back!"
Aunt Zhou nodded absentmindedly, her face showing distress. "Yezhi~!"
Yezhi, slow to realize, asked, "What's wrong?"
"Our vegetable garden is ruined!" Aunt Zhou couldn't understand why the grass was thriving while the vegetables were withering day by day.
Looking at the lush green grass in the backyard, Yezhi was speechless for a long time. "Our vegetables, and those you randomly planted, have all withered, but the grass keeps growing. I want to pull it out and replant some vegetables, but what if that grass is useful?"
Yezhi called out to Xiao Fang with her mind. Xiao Fang rolled into the grassy area like a ball. "Hey, why is there so much Moon Grass!" Xiao Fang spun around, confused.
"What is Moon Grass? What's it for?" Yezhi looked at Xiao Fang as if she would cause trouble if she didn't explain.
Two red clouds appeared on Xiao Fang's face. "Master, don't you use it every month? It's the one that comes when..." Xiao Fang felt immense sympathy for her master who had to go through this every month and was quite irritable. Hmm, is it that time again?
Moon Grass... Yueyue Shu! How could this cheap seed from the second-hand market have this? "Master, we can harvest it now. Moon Grass isn't just any ordinary plant; if we let it grow any longer, it will drain all the underground water sources."
Yezhi raised her sickle and targeted the one-meter-high Moon Grass. The slender leaves were blue-green. She felt embarrassed to ask her family for help, but they couldn't stand by idly either; everyone worked until evening to finish harvesting.
Yezhi set fire to the seeds hidden in the soil, and a faint tea fragrance wafted from the burned area, refreshing everyone. She felt troubled looking at the three tall piles of Moon Grass.
Xiao Fang said that Moon Grass should be ground fresh for better moisture retention. Using a stone mill was one method; another was to use Shockwave Power Gloves to smash it.
Late at night, she cranked up the power of the Shockwave Power Gloves to maximum and jumped up to slam down on the piled Moon Grass, instantly turning it into powder.
The more she smashed, the more excited she became, feeling as if she had found a sense of martial prowess like a great hero.
...
Aunt Zhou was selecting an auspicious date for marriage from an old almanac. She called out to Yezhi several times without a response. Finally, unable to hold back any longer, Aunt Zhou went to the kitchen to find her. "Daughter, why aren't you concerned about getting married at all? Xiaolin is waiting for us to set a date!"
Yezhi was busy making Wangzai Steamed Buns. "Aunt, you decide, I'll listen to you!"
"Listen to me? Who's getting married here!" Aunt Zhou was truly distressed, wondering why this girl couldn't be more considerate.
Elder Brother Yu and Sister Luo returned from Team with smiles. "What's going on?"
"Is the household registration done?" both Aunt Zhou and Yezhi asked in unison.
"Yes, it's done!"
Aunt Zhou took the Household Register, holding it in her hands, overjoyed. "Less, Xiao Luo, we are a real family now! Yes! Let's kill a chicken to celebrate!" With that, she hurried off to catch a chicken.
Yezhi wiped the sweat from her brow. "Should I call you two sister, brother-in-law, or big brother Sister-in-law?"
"Call us sister and brother-in-law!"
"Call us big brother and Sister-in-law!” Clearly, the two had different opinions.
Yezhi leaned towards her fellow female companion Sister Luo. "Sister, brother-in-law!"
"Hey!" Both responded loudly, their laughter sweeter than honey.
"You two go out; don't disturb me while I make snacks!" The couple exchanged glances; this girl was becoming increasingly impolite, but it felt more like a family.
Niu Niu stuck out its pink tongue to lick the thumb-sized Wangzai Steamed Buns. In truth, it was just pretending; it couldn't taste anything. However, it didn't want to be marginalized by the family anymore and requested the right to taste.
Wolf Child stuffed its cheeks full with both hands. Little Fan shared with Black Treasure, who munched while grunting. It had complaints about the small-sized treat called Wangzai Steamed Buns: too small and not enough to fill its teeth gaps.
Yezhi carried a basket full of Wangzai Steamed Buns to school. Inside the classroom, the dog was animatedly narrating a version of "Journey to the West" to a group of Little Bean.
One Egg, Er Zhu, and the others were all absorbed in their own world of Comic Book, quietly immersed.
"Mm~ Hmm!"
"It's Sister Ye!"
One Egg waved the Comic Book in his hand, "Sister Ye, 'Tunnel Warfare' is so good!"
Er Zhu thought "Mother's Teaching" was more educational, "Mother's Teaching is great!"
Zhou Da had a different opinion, "The debates in 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' are the best!"
Yezhi laughed non-stop, "What are you arguing about? They're all good! By the way, we should cherish them and not handle them roughly."
"We take good care of them; we can't look at them without washing our hands."
Er Niu raised the Comic Book wrapped in newspaper and agreed, "We wrapped it in newspaper and will turn the pages gently, absolutely won't damage it."
These kids are just too lovable. Yezhi thought that if they were absent from her life, she wouldn't know how much joy she would miss. No one would pull weeds, water, or catch bugs for her Peach Seedling when she wasn't around.
Aunt Zhou was home alone, but the kids still went to keep her company every day. They were never idle, all competing to do this and that. As the saying goes, "Poor children grow up early." Sometimes Yezhi felt that she couldn't compare to this group of kids. She didn't want to express her gratitude as it might seem distant. Instead, she distributed Wangzai Steamed Buns to everyone as a treat.
"What is this? It's so delicious!" Yezhi thought it tasted better than what she had when she was younger. Perhaps Aunt Zhang's can of imported milk powder was key; the rich milk flavor mixed with the sweetness of White Noodles truly left a lasting impression.
The kids sighed with happiness, "Sister Ye is really great!"
