country bumpkin

After Mu Shuyun and the others left, Kong Tongming was left to take care of feeding the pigs and sheep. After breakfast, Kong Tongming would finish his chores and then go to work.

At noon, Kong Tongming went home to feed the livestock, cook and eat, and then went back to work. He was extremely busy.

Once in the city, Yunya looked around with great curiosity. The tall buildings and bustling traffic dazzled her.

However, after the initial excitement wore off, she began to miss her friends in the countryside and the animals at her grandmother's house.

Mu Shuyun saw what she was thinking and said, "Yun, don't think about it. We'll go back in a few days. Grandma will be with you, and your sister will play with you too. Don't be unhappy."

Kong Xiujuan also advised Yunya, "Yunya, there are many fun things to do in the city, and you can make many new friends. You'll have more and more friends, isn't that great!"

When Yunya heard that she could make new friends, she became happy and put the unpleasant things behind her.

Mu Shuyun spent five days in the city. On Sunday, Kong Xiufang and Lin Junhui arrived with gifts.

They were delighted to hear that Mu Shuyun had come. They had been too busy with work to come over, but since it was the weekend, the two of them decided to visit their mother.

Song Shiyue also came along. She had heard that her mother-in-law was coming, so she prepared a gift a few days ago and decided to visit her mother-in-law on Sunday with her daughter-in-law.

When Mu Shuyun saw Song Shiyue, she quickly pulled her down to sit and chat.

Kong Xiufang smiled and placed the gifts aside, saying, "Mother, this is just a small token of our appreciation. There are some pastries you like, and some tonics." Lin Junhui chimed in.

Song Shiyue then took Mu Shuyun's hand and asked her about the living conditions in the countryside.

Yunya circled around the gifts with sparkling eyes, full of curiosity.

Seeing this, Kong Xiujuan gently patted Yunya's head, signaling her not to move around.

Just as everyone was chatting enthusiastically, there was a knock on the door. Kong Xiufang went to open it, and it turned out to be her neighbor Yu Huimin from across the hall.

Hearing that the Sun family had guests, she came over for a visit. Everyone warmly invited Yu Huimin to sit down.

Kong Xiujuan introduced Yu Huimin to everyone. Her husband also had the surname Sun, and was a junior member of the family.

Although older than Sun Zitao, she had to call him "uncle" and Kong Xiujuan "auntie." Sun Limei had to call Yu Huimin "sister-in-law." Yun Ya also followed suit, calling her "sister-in-law."

Yunya's aunt, Yu Huimin, also had to be called "aunt." After introductions, everyone became familiar with each other.

Seeing so many people and the lively atmosphere, Yu Huimin joked, "Grandma, your arrival has filled the whole house with joy." Mu Shuyun smiled broadly and responded.

Afterwards, everyone began to share their interesting stories, with novelties from the city and strange tales from the countryside constantly intertwining.

As Yunya listened to the adults' stories, she occasionally exclaimed in amazement. Her previous homesickness had vanished without a trace, and the small room was filled with laughter.

After lunch, Song Shiyue and Lin Junhui went home, while Kong Xiufang stayed behind to talk with her mother.

In the evening, the second daughter, Kong Xiuzhen, and her husband, Zhang Jiefang, and the third daughter, Kong Xiufen, and her husband, Shen Changsheng, came to the eldest sister's house and talked to their mother.

Because it was dark, none of the sisters brought their children. The sisters chatted animatedly with their mother, making the house very lively.

After finishing dinner, Yu Huimin planned to visit Kong Xiujuan's house. However, upon reaching Kong Xiujuan's front door and hearing that many people had arrived, she wisely turned around and went back inside.

Since Mu Shuyun has finally come to the city, her daughters will definitely come to visit, so she shouldn't disturb their mother-daughter reunion.

When it was 10 p.m., Mu Shuyun urged her daughters to go home, saying it was too late and the road was not safe.

The second daughter and her husband, and the third daughter and her husband all went back. The youngest daughter, Kong Xiufang, did not go back.

Lin Junhui had already told her before he left that he wouldn't come to pick her up. He wanted her to spend time with her mother.

Tonight, Mu Shuyun, Yunya, and Kong Xiufang are sleeping in the same room. Mu Shuyun is holding Yunya, who has been playing excitedly all day and is very tired and is already fast asleep.

Sun Limei was sleeping in Kong Xiufang's bed. The bed was next to Mu Shuyun's, and even though they were speaking very softly, they could still be heard.

The mother and daughter chatted for a while until midnight before they finally felt sleepy. Once they were both asleep, the room became completely quiet.

Lin Junhui and Kong Xiufang have been married for half a year. They have been together ever since their marriage and have never been separated.

Kong Xiufang didn't come back tonight, and Lin Junhui started missing his wife again, tossing and turning and unable to sleep.

Lin Junhui found it increasingly difficult to fall asleep, so he simply put on his clothes and sat up.

He gazed at the night outside the window, reminiscing about the moments he had spent with Kong Xiufang.

He suddenly realized that he hadn't written in his diary in a long time.

So he found his diary and pen and wrote earnestly: "Fangfang, only tonight, without you by my side, do I realize how much I miss you, how much I love you, and how much I can't live without you. You are the most important person in my life. You are my hope for the future. I can't imagine how I would go on without you by my side..."

As he wrote, drowsiness overcame him, and Lin Junhui groggily climbed into bed, taking advantage of his sleepiness to quickly lie down and go to sleep.

He slept soundly all night! By dawn, JJ Lin had just fallen asleep.

Song Shiyue didn't disturb her son's rest. She quietly finished her meal and went to work.

Today is Monday, a day for work. Lin Junhui, with dark circles under his eyes, rushed off to work without even having time to eat.

Kong Xiufang hurriedly ate some food, then rode the bicycle Lin Junhui had left behind yesterday to work at the garment factory.

Mu Shuyun should go back in another day. She still has so many livestock to feed.

Kong Tong has to go to work every day, and this kind of busyness is too much for him. With no other option, Mu Shuyun had to go back.

Mu Shuyun stayed with Yunya for another day and night. Yunya met Yu Huimin's daughter, Sun Fei, and another neighbor's daughter, Gu Yu, and son, Gu Feng.

The children had a blast playing together, running around the streets all day, playing games, splashing in the mud, and playing house. They completely forgot about clinging to their grandma.

Seeing that Yunya had friends to play with, Mu Shuyun felt relieved. As long as Yunya had friends to play with, she wasn't worried that Yunya would be too sad if she couldn't see her.

September 1st is a Saturday. After registering for school, the children went home.

That day, Kong Xiujuan took Yunya to school to register. She dropped Yunya off at the school gate, watched her enter the school, and then went back home.

After school, Kong Xiujuan and Mu Shuyun went to pick up Yunya. Yunya happily told her grandmother about what she had seen and heard at school.

There will be another day off on September 2nd, and school will officially start on September 3rd. Mu Shuyun will also be going back home on that day.

Kong Xiujuan noticed Yunya's feelings and tried her best to take her to all sorts of interesting places and buy her lots of delicious food. But every night, Yunya would stare blankly at the moon outside the window.
