Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 285 Visiting Grandparents

After a while, An Yue, carrying a bag and a basket of duck eggs, also walked out of the yard gate and headed towards Pingxiang Village.

In order to reach her grandfather's house faster, An Yue chose to take a shortcut.

Along the way, An Yue discovered that many trees on the mountain had died, especially the bamboos on the hillside, which were dying in large tracts.

An Yue followed the path over several mountains and took several detours.

It was not until the morning that An Yue finally arrived at the entrance of Pingxiang Village.

An Yue didn't stop for a moment and walked straight to her grandfather's house.

Arriving at the door of her grandfather's house, An Yue raised her hand and knocked on the door.

dong dong dong.

"Who is it?" Grandfather's voice came from inside the door.

"Grandfather, it's me, Yueyue." An Yue said loudly while standing outside the gate.

Soon, the door was opened.

When grandfather Jiang Wuwen saw that it was An Yue, he asked worriedly, "Yueyue, what happened at home?"

An Yue smiled and waved her hands, "No, no, no, Yueyue just misses you, grandma, and uncle."

Jiang Wuwen felt relieved after hearing what An Yue said. He hurried forward and took the basket from An Yue's hand.

Jiang Wuwen said with a smile: "You are so brave to come here so early in the morning! Come into the house quickly!"

After An Yue entered the door, her grandfather Jiang Wuwen closed the door and walked behind An Yue carrying a basket.

An Yue ran into the main room and shouted, "Grandma...Grandma..."

The grandfather, who was carrying a basket behind him, smiled and said, "Yueyue, your grandmother is in the kitchen!"

When An Yue heard that her grandmother was in the kitchen, she turned around and ran towards the kitchen as if she was familiar with the place.

As An Yue just walked to the kitchen door, her grandmother Zheng poked her head out of the kitchen.

When grandma Zheng saw An Yue, she was pleasantly surprised and said, "Oh my goodness, why did I hear Yue Yue's voice? I thought I heard it wrong."

When An Yue saw her grandmother, she smiled and ran towards her quickly.

Grandmother Zheng opened her arms joyfully, ready to hug An Yue.

An Yue ran over and hugged her grandmother, smiling happily, "Grandma, are you feeling well these days?"

Grandma hugged An Yue with a smile on her face, stroked An Yue's head with both hands, and said softly: "Grandma is fine."

At this time, uncle Jiang Chenghai, who was in his room, heard An Yue's voice. He ran out of the room and looked around the yard. He didn't see An Yue, so he asked, "Dad, is Yue Yue here?"

Jiang Wuwen pointed to the kitchen and said to his son Jiang Chenghai with a smile: "Yes! She went to the kitchen."

Because of An Yue's arrival, the family's mood became much more lively.

Jiang Chenghai hurried to the kitchen.

"Oh my, let me see who is here." Uncle Jiang Chenghai walked towards An Yue with a smile.

An Yue turned to look at her uncle and said in surprise: "Uncle, you are home too!"

"What are you talking about? If I'm not at home, then where should I be?" Jiang Chenghai walked up to An Yue and tapped her forehead with a wicked smile.

An Yue covered her forehead that was hit, pouted and said in a fake displeasure: "Bad uncle, you bully Yueyue as soon as you come."

Grandmother Zheng looked around and prepared to find a broom to beat her son Jiang Chenghai.

Not being able to find a broom, he could only curse, "You bastard, you don't act like an uncle! What are you doing hitting Yueyue!"

After scolding his uncle, Jiang Chenghai turned around and asked An Yue softly, "Does it hurt?" An Yue smiled and shook her head.

"Come, come, come with grandma to sit in the house and drink some water to quench your thirst. You must be thirsty after traveling all the way." After saying that, grandma took An Yue and walked into the main house.

"Yueyue, the drought is severe everywhere. Is there still water in the well in your home?" asked my grandmother as we walked.

"Don't worry, grandma. Although the water output from our deep well is not as high as before, it is more than enough for our family."

An Yue asked casually, "I saw a lot of dead bamboos and trees on the mountain during my trip here. Has the water supply at grandma's house been affected?"

"Hey! We can barely use the water at home, but the wheat harvest has been reduced by half. The terraced fields have dried up long ago, and there is still an acre of paddy field that has not completely dried up. If it doesn't rain, I'm afraid it won't last much longer~!"

I didn't expect that Pingxiang Village, a village surrounded by mountains and rivers, would dry up like this.

An Yue asked: "Is there a deep well in the village?"

Grandmother shook her head. “Those old guys in the village said that they had never experienced a drought in their lives. Everyone believed them, so the villagers thought there was no need to fight.”

Jiang Chenghai, who was standing behind him, gnashed his teeth and said angrily: "Those old guys don't know anything, but they still like to take advantage of their age!"

Everyone sat on the benches at the dining table. Grandma poured water for An Yue and said, "Others didn't dig wells, so your uncle and grandfather tried to dig wells themselves. They dug two wells but no water came out."

My grandfather Jiang Wuwen kept smoking his pipe and said nothing.

An Yue picked up the bowl, gulped down half a bowl of water, raised her hand to wipe the corner of her mouth, and asked again: "Where were the deep wells dug before?"

"In the fields at the entrance of the village." Grandmother Zheng answered casually.

"Grandpa, grandma, uncle, I want to go to the yard with a hoe." An Yue said to everyone seriously.

"In the yard?" Grandfather slowly raised his eyes to look at An Yue and repeated with some surprise.

"How will you know if you don't try?" An Yue said, then stood up and walked towards the yard.

Grandma and uncle Jiang Chenghai followed An Yue curiously.

An Yue came to the yard with a hoe, shoveled a few times along the edge of the wall, then squatted down to take a look.

Then he went to another corner of the yard and started digging with the hoe again. An Yue squatted down again, picked up the soil and looked at it carefully.

Finally she came to the kitchen door, she shoveled some soil with a hoe, and then picked up some soil and kneaded it.

This time she started digging with great force using the hoe, and soon she had dug out a hole in the ground that was almost the size of a large wooden basin.

Uncle Jiang Chenghai looked at the whole yard that was turned into a mess by An Yue.

Now he started digging the hole vigorously. Jiang Chenghai asked in confusion: "Yueyue, are you planning to dig a well in the yard?"

An Yue said as she dug: "Yes."

At this time, grandfather Jiang Wuwen came out of the house holding a pipe and watched An Yue digging the soil with great effort.

He turned to his son Jiang Chenghai and asked sternly, "As an uncle, are you planning to stand aside and watch her dig by herself?"

Jiang Chenghai finally reacted. He hurried forward, took the hoe from An Yue's hand, and asked An Yue how to dig.

Every few centimeters of digging, An Yue would grab a handful of soil and take a look.

After a while, they dug two feet deep. Jiang Chenghai was sweating profusely. He climbed out of the pit and prepared to go back to the house to drink some water.
