Dressed as a cute kid with a farm: Pick up a brother to farm

"I understand. I'll take Yaoyao back right away!"

Meng Huaishao said this as he picked up Ye Yaoyao and walked away, almost fleeing in panic.

Looking at the backs of the two children leaving, several men were still discussing safety issues.

"It seems that we still need to keep an eye on the ancient well. This place is too dangerous. If a child falls in, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"Yeah yeah!"

"Yes, please pay more attention. These kids are still not thorough in their work."

Ye Yaoyao and Meng Huaishao didn't know that because they were caught once, the patrol frequency of this ancient well had doubled.

It was not until late at night that Ye Yaoyao and Meng Huaishao, who had been hiding in the dark, finally found an opportunity and filled the ancient well half full.

"This won't work!"

Meng Huaishao held Ye Yaoyao's little head and walked forward on the dark path step by step with drooping eyelids, trying hard to fight sleepiness.

There was a rustling sound ahead, it was Xiaoqing leading the way.

On summer nights, having Xiaoqing lead the way makes people feel much more at ease.

"Hiss~" It really doesn't work. The dragon cub has developed dark circles under its eyes!

"Acridine!"

Ye Yaoyao responded in a daze, but her mind was in a mess and she didn't even know what she wanted to say.

Looking at the tired look of the little guy, Meng Huaishao felt distressed.

“It would be nice if I could add water without having to go to the ancient well.”

This way, you don’t have to take such a big risk every day.

"hiss~"

Xiaoqing listened to Meng Huaishao's mumbling, shaking his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

After it sent the two people back to the thatched hut, it left with a "whoosh".

Meng Huaishao didn't pay much attention to Xiaoqing's departure.

After he washed the baby who had already started snoring, he stayed with the baby to rest.

-

The next morning, the village was still bustling.

In order to follow the crowd and not seek special treatment, Meng Huaishao still got up early to cook, and then called Ye Yaoyao to eat.

After they had eaten their fill, they went to queue up for water as usual.

Xiaoqing, who had been guarding outside the window all night, had already gone up the mountain with Xiaobai.

Those queuing by the ancient well are all people from the village.

Ye Yaoyao and Meng Huaishao were standing in the line, and because of their height, they were perfectly hidden among them.

There are patrolling and order-maintaining teams around the ancient well, and some people from the four neighboring villages have been incorporated into the team.

As for the people fetching water from the four villages?

They arrived quite early, but because the small mountain village had not yet fetched all the water, they are still waiting at the entrance of the village!

However, these people had no complaints. They all sat at the entrance of the village and chatted happily.

Although the water they brought back yesterday was not enough for the whole village to drink, it was a relief after a long drought.

Everyone was moved to tears for the selfless sharing of the small mountain village.

Seeing the village return to its former peace, everyone was in a happy mood.

However, this was achieved only after they gave up half of the water.

But, everyone in the village has relatives and friends.

The village came forward to negotiate so that their relatives and friends could also have access to water, which is what everyone hopes for.

If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world[Note 1].

They may not be "rich", but if they have spare capacity, they can help their relatives, friends and neighbors.

This time, there was only half a bucket of water. Some villagers wanted to help Meng Huaishao fetch water, but he refused.

"My dear uncles, I can handle this little bit of water! I'm very strong!"

"Don't worry, it won't spill!"

"I'll be careful and won't drop the doll!"

"..."

Meng Huaishao made all kinds of promises and was just about to show off his muscles. Finally, he finally squeezed out from the crowd surrounding them.

Sometimes, excessive enthusiasm of neighbors can also be a sweet burden.

Meng Huaishao put down the bucket, readjusted the slightly crooked backpack, and looked back at Ye Yaoyao inside.

Ye Yaoyao sat steadily in the backpack, her round face was rosy.

Seeing Meng Huaishao looking at her, Ye Yaoyao gave him a sweet smile, and the pink hairband on her head also swayed with her.

Meng Huaishao smiled back at Ye Yaoyao and said loudly: "Let's go~ Let's go home~"

Then, he picked up the bucket and walked steadily towards the path home.

"go home!"

Ye Yaoyao clenched her little fist, raised it up and waved it.

On the way home, they saw many villagers working in the fields.

There are both adults and children.

Although there is less water, no one will give up on the crops in the fields.

The more water there is, the more careful care the crops in the field need.

Otherwise, the only nutrients in the soil will be snatched away by drought-resistant weeds.

The sun was not hot yet. Except for those on patrol, maintaining order, and queuing for water, everyone who was able to move and could distinguish weeds from crops went to the fields to pull weeds.

If you pull out the weeds by the roots in the morning, after a few days of exposure to the sun, not only will they not come back to life, but they will also be transformed into nutrients for the soil, killing two birds with one stone.

After Meng Huaishao poured the water in the bucket into the water tank, he also went to pull weeds.

He only has a vegetable garden, so his workload is much less than that of other families.

Of course, less is only on the surface.

After finishing work in the vegetable garden, there is still a space farm waiting for him.

Meng Huaishao's small shoulders bear the hardships that are not suitable for someone of his age.

He is the busiest one in the family of four.

While Meng Huaishao was working, Ye Yaoyao secretly picked a bunch of grapes, peeled them and ate them herself.

But her hands were always somewhat disobedient.

The soft and tender fruit flesh was broken into pieces by her thrust of a finger.

Ye Yaoyao stared blankly at the rotten grapes, the grape juice dripping down her hands.

Seeing that the juice was almost gone, she quickly put her fingers into her mouth and started sucking.

"Suck it~"

You know what, this hand is quite sweet!

Ye Yaoyao sucked the sweetness from her hands and then stuffed the grape pulp into her mouth.

Take a big bite and it’s so delicious.

Meng Huaishao, who was working hard, had no idea that the person he held dear had forgotten all his instructions while he was busy.

Ye Yaoyao ate until she was full, then she remembered that Meng Huaishao didn't allow her to eat more grapes...

Thinking of this, Ye Yaoyao, feeling guilty, collected all the scattered grape skins and seeds.

However, when she tried to peel the grapes with her hands, she found that her hands were too small!

Ye Yaoyao looked left and right, and finally, she found a handkerchief to wipe her mouth and wrapped up the grape skin and seeds.

Then she slid off the bed swiftly and tiptoed out.

Even though she knew Meng Huaishao was busy in the farm space, she still looked around several times after taking a step, fearing that Meng Huaishao would suddenly appear and catch her in the act.
