Auntie Zhou Fang saw her own brother's family coming from afar and was delighted to welcome them.

  The adults chatted together, and the children didn't rest either. Dabao and one-year-old Xiaokui went to play.

  Zhou Xiaoyun took Little Treasure and Little Plum together, Er Ya made a fuss about following them, Zhou Xiaoyun reluctantly became the nanny again.

  Xiao Mei is the same age as Zhou Xiaoyun this year, missing two front teeth, revealing a small black hole when she smiles. She is very affectionate with Zhou Xiaoyun and chatters non-stop.

  Zhou Xiaoyun has always had a good relationship with her peer Wu Mei, and in their past life, they were classmates for five years and cousins, so their feelings are much deeper than others. Moreover, Wu Mei has always been a lovely and likable girl, compared to the beautiful but slightly arrogant cousin Zhou Xiaoxia and the spoiled younger sister Zhou Xiaoyue, Zhou Xiaoyun prefers the simple and natural Wu Mei who doesn't have many tricks up her sleeve.

  But Xiaomei has a small flaw that doesn't hurt anyone.

  "Big sister, it's been a long time since you came to our house to play. I've missed you so much! The other day, I wanted to go to your house to play, but my mom said she was busy and wouldn't take me there. It's great that you're here today! Come on, let me take you to see the grape trellis in our backyard. There are a lot of grapes growing now. Let's hurry up, I'll pick some for you to try. I'm telling you, the grapes are really delicious now. They used to be quite sour, but now they're just right, not sour at all! My mom picked some and gave them to our neighbors, and she also took some to the market to sell. And she even bought a hair ribbon for me!"

  Xiao Mei turned her back to Zhou Xiaoyun and let her see her red hair tie: "Isn't it pretty?"

  Beautiful.

  Zhou Xiaoyun only said this sentence, and then she heard Xiaomei continue talking non-stop:

  "I also really like this red one, and I was thinking of asking mom to buy me another one in a different color. Do you think yellow or blue looks better..."

  Being with Xiao Mei only requires listening to her, Zhou Xiaoyun is in charge of nodding, occasionally saying "okay". Xiao Mei is indeed a natural good talker, and it's still the same even when she grows up.

  Zhou Xiaoyun pretended to listen carefully to Xiao Mei's words, but her mind had already wandered far away. However, Xiao Mei didn't need her to say anything, from start to finish she just heard Xiao Mei mumbling unclearly about this and that, it was quite lively.

  Aunt's house is very big, and three tile-roofed houses have been built. A large piece of open space in front of the door was surrounded by a fence, and some fruit trees were planted inside. It's a bit exaggerated to say that it's an orchard, but there are several pear trees, apple trees, peach trees, and a few grape trellises. The empty space in the middle is also used for growing vegetables like Chinese cabbage.

  Now is the season for grapes, and they are ripe. Xiaomei took Zhou Xiaoyun and Xiao Bao to pick grapes under the grape trellis.

  The grape arbor is a bit high and Xiao Mei can't reach it. Zhou Xiaoyun is slightly taller, she tiptoes to pick a small bunch of purple grapes.

  Xiao Bao and Er Ya were clamoring to eat, Xiao Mei was holding grapes wanting to stuff them into Xiao Bao's mouth, Zhou Xiaoyun stopped her, saying they should go wash first before eating.

  Xiao Mei was a bit surprised: "Just eat it like this, it's not dirty. My brother and I usually eat like this, and we rarely wash them."

  "Yes, yes, I'm going to eat now, no need to wash." Xiaobao's mouth was watering.

  Zhou Xiaoyun pushed away Xiao Bao's hand, "There are bacteria on the grapes that won't be clean if you don't wash them and can't eat them."

  "What is bacteria?" Xiaomei and Xiaobao asked in unison.

  Zhou Xiaoyun didn't know how to explain what bacteria were to these little kids, so she thought for a moment and said in a way that Xiao Bao could understand: "If you don't wash your hands before eating grapes, worms will grow in your tummy and it'll hurt a lot. Daddy will call Dr. Feng to come give you a shot in the butt."

  "I don't want an injection, I hate injections the most."

  Xiao Bao was afraid of injections, and Doctor Feng's injections were particularly painful. His buttocks would hurt for at least two or three days after the injection, and he would walk with a limp afterwards. From young to old, Xiao Bao had suffered greatly under Doctor Feng's hands, and just hearing his name made him afraid.

  Xiao Mei's courtyard had a small earth well, at that time every household had such a well.

  The underground pipe is several meters deep, and the one on the ground is about half a person's height. To use water, scoop a bowl of water into the round and narrow wellhead, and press the well hard with the water, and in a short while, the clear underground water will be pumped up.

  However, digging a well is hard work, so Little Mei called her brother Wu Xue over to help.

  Kuai's face was red with effort, and he finally managed to get the water out, but after filling a small basin, he couldn't do it anymore. He let go and sank back down to the bottom of the well. Da Bao quickly took over to bail out the well, but it was too late. The well made a dull sound, and from the noise, they knew the water had sunk again.

  Dabao ridiculed Wei Zi for being weak and not like a man. Wei Zi was unhappy about it, so the two of them found a place to have a contest.

  Zhou Xiaoyun didn't bother with the affairs between these "men", she carefully washed the grapes clean and put them into Xiao Bao's mouth.

  Xiao Bao eats happily, one after another without stopping his mouth.

  "Xiao Bao, eating too much will make your teeth ache, eat a little less." Zhou Xiaoyun felt most heartbroken for this younger brother of hers. Xiao Bao was not like his older brother Da Bao, who was a boy that worried people. Xiao Bao was more obedient and well-behaved, but he got sick every other day.

  Maybe it's because he was born a bit weak and didn't take good care of himself. Whenever the weather changes slightly, the little treasure easily gets fever, catches cold, headaches and diarrhea.

  Zhou Xiaoyun decided from this moment on to take on the heavy responsibility of taking care of Xiao Bao.
