Chapter 162
As soon as Xiao Heng left, Xun'er and Ning'er both became depressed.
Ning Jie'er was better off, after all, her brothers were not at home during the day. But Xun'er seemed to have lost his shadow. The nine-year-old child was actually a little distraught.
Yin Hui took the brother and sister to Taoran Ju.
Last month, Wei Ruo took the children to cultivate the vegetable garden. Now a layer of tender green leaves has grown. The cherry and peach trees in the backyard have bloomed and withered, and small green fruits have grown.
"Is it time to water the vegetable garden?" After walking around Taoranju, Yin Hui looked at Xun Ge'er and asked.
Xun'er nodded sensibly: "I'll go get some water."
There is a wooden shed next to the wall, which contains some farm tools used to take care of the vegetable garden, including buckets for carrying water.
Yin Hui smiled and said, "It's too troublesome to always carry water. Mother wants to dig a canal from the stream. Xun'er can help mother dig it, okay?"
A light of excitement appeared in Xun'er’s eyes. He was excited and proud to be able to help his mother solve a big problem.
Taoranju has no walls, only a fence around it, and the vegetable garden is only about three meters away from the stream.
Yin Hui first used a branch to mark the location of the ditch on the ground, then Xun'er went into the house to change into a coarse cloth short jacket, and then picked up a small shovel and started working.
Compared with Xiao Heng, Xun'er is quiet and handsome, but he just relies on his brother more, not that he cannot endure hardship. Whether it is spring ploughing and farm work, or practicing horse stance with martial arts masters, Xun'er can persist. Therefore, at the age of nine, Xun'er has a face as beautiful as that of a girl, and he has also developed a strong body. Silang is three years older than him, but has been caught up by Xun'er in height.
Yin Hui dug a canal from the other end, and the mother and daughter met in the middle.
Ning Jie'er squatted by the stream, watching the water overflowing little by little.
When the sun began to get brighter, the mother and daughter worked together to dig a one-foot-wide ditch, and then dug two holes on the ridge in the middle of the vegetable garden, so that the stream water could irrigate the entire vegetable garden.
"Mom, the vegetable fields have been watered later, but the water continues to flow this way. What should I do?"
Xun'er stood beside his mother, watched, and suddenly frowned and became worried.
Yin Hui smiled and said, "Ah Xun, help me think of a solution."
Xun'er looked at the ditch, his eyes moved back and forth several times, and he thought: "We can block the other end of the ditch first."
Ning Jie'er: "Why is it blocked?"
Xun'er took his sister to the stream, squatted down, scooped up the soil he had just dug, and piled it at the inlet of the ditch. The water wet the mud, and it stuck to Xun'er hands, but Xun'er thought it was fun and was busy having fun.
Seeing this, Ning Jie'er also went to help block the canal. After the canal was blocked, the brother and sister continued to dig mud from the stream. At first, they just randomly made mud balls. Later, Xun'er first thought of using mud to build a house. So Xun Ge'er designed the structure of the courtyard wall and the house, and Ning Jie'er helped build the wall and the house according to her brother's instructions.
