Ye Heng rode his horse, Guoguo in his arms, galloping along the outer roads of the capital. Guoguo laughed heartily, like a bird out of its cage! Her little face was rosy, and she wasn't afraid of the cold. Even with all her clothes on, she wasn't afraid of the cold. Ye Heng said, "In the future, I'll take you on a journey through the mountains and rivers. When you're old, we'll live in Taohua Village. We have our house there." At this, Xiaotuanzi thought of the earthquake and said, "Your house collapsed and is being rebuilt. Now, some disabled veterans returning from the front are living there. I'll build it for you when I get back." Ye Heng said, "No hurry, there's plenty of time." Xiaotuanzi leaned against Ye Heng's chest, looking comfortably ahead, thinking about the future. Xiaotuanzi: "Oh, it's still early." The horses stopped at the top of the hill. The two dismounted, tied the horses to a tree, and walked up the mountain. Halfway up the hill, there was a house and a carpentry workshop. The two of them went to take a look, and Xiaotuan said, "It's much bigger now, and there are more people." Li Dong received them and said, "All the carpenters from the Ministry of Revenue are here. We need a lot of beds, tables, doors and windows for the college, and they are all working hard now. Guoguo has only made two sets of spinning machines and looms, and we don't have time." Xiaotuanzi: "It's okay, we can send one set back home, and my uncle can make it at home. Uncle will concentrate on your work." Li Dong: "Okay. I haven't had time to go home recently, so I'll wait for you to go home and see Xiaoqian." Xiaotuanzi: "Okay, Guoguo can do it. Don't worry, uncle." Xiaotuanzi stayed for a while at Yeheng, and then hiked up the mountain. The path up the mountain has been paved and is easy to walk on. There are flowers, trees, and farms in the valley, making it no longer a barren mountain. Ye Heng asked, "What's planted in the valley?" Little Tuanzi said, "Wheat, radishes, yams, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and all kinds of herbs." "This mountain is great." Little Tuanzi said, "The second mountain is under construction. The third and fourth peaks are colleges. In the future, they will become the first university of the Great Yan Nation, cultivating high-level talents. Haha, imaginative people." Ye Heng said, "I'm looking forward to it. I want to study here too." Little Tuanzi said, "I want to go to school here too. My family all want to come here and sit down." Ye Heng said, "Yes, they all want to come and see Guoguo's contribution." Chai Zhen saw him, walked over, and said, "Why are you two here?" Ye Heng said, "I'm taking a break today. I brought Guoguo to play." Chai Zhen said, "Let's go inside and sit down and have a drink of water."

Little Tuanzi asked, "When will Great-Grandpa be finished?" Chai Zhen looked at the site before him and said, "It'll take another year. There are so many people involved." Ye Heng: "Two years wouldn't be too slow. Li Dong is working on doors, windows, tables, chairs, benches, beds, and other furniture. It's going to take time." Those skilled in carpentry from the Ministry of Revenue have also come to work. Chai Zhen: "It's not too slow now. You guys go have fun, I'll just watch." Ye Heng: Okay.

The two continued toward the back of the mountain, where terraced fields had been built to prevent soil erosion. A large playground was also under construction on the mountaintop. It was a good place to study. One day, the two walked through the mountains until they reached the ninth mountain. The men in black had cleared a lot of land and planted winter wheat. The men in black were living on the ninth mountain. Little Tuanzi asked, "Is it convenient to eat and live here?" The men in black replied, "It's OK. We're digging a well soon, but we'll have to carry water down to the foot of the mountain. There's water in the valley, but it's farther away. It's convenient for farming, and we have water for irrigation." Little Tuanzi replied, "Okay, as long as you have a good life." "You can come down the mountain if you want; we've got a place to live. We'll just clear some land and then let the students come and start working. We can't let them just enjoy themselves. We'll come down next spring. For now, just build the road; there's no need to rush. Take care of yourselves. Anyone willing to come down the mountain now, please come back with me. It's too hard." The man in black looked at them and said, "Let's wait until the twelfth lunar month. It's not frozen yet, so we can still clear some wasteland. Then we can go back." Little Dumpling: "Okay, you're always welcome home." Guoguo went inside and put out plenty of rice, noodles, vegetables, and fruit for them. Enough for them to eat until the twelfth lunar month. The two of them headed back, heading home under the stars.
