Dong Li poured it into a bucket and mixed it with the mountain spring water. After ensuring the temperature was right, he said, "Go wash your face, then come help harvest the vegetables."
Nodding at her brother, Dong Huang said, "Okay."
After rubbing his sister's soft hair, Dong Li grabbed a shoulder pole and filled two buckets of water from the water vat behind the kitchen. With his current strength, carrying them wasn't a problem. As he walked, the buckets swayed a little, but no water spilled.
Using a bamboo dipper, he began watering the vegetables and a peach tree. Not long after, Dong Huang came over, carrying a bamboo basket. Both of them had grown taller and now looked their age.
Though Dong Li was still thin, his body was tall, strong, and firm. As for Dong Huang, she was now a chubby little girl with fair skin and soft hair.
