I heard that drinking carp soup can prevent pregnancy. Jiang Yun's aunt Wang Xiumei asked with surprise: "Little sister, is drinking this really good for pregnant women?"
"Of course it's true!"
With crooked eyebrows, Jinbao nodded and said: "Auntie, you should drink more for the sake of the baby in your belly. Brother Ayun can swim and catch fish. He will definitely be able to catch carp for you often in the future." .”
Wang Xiumei looked at Jiang Yun, the expression on her face softened a lot and was no longer as angry as before.
"This kid doesn't have any other abilities. He's really good at swimming. (This kid doesn't have any other abilities. He's really good at swimming.)"
Jiang Yun's eldest aunt Chen Zhaohong said: "I've never seen him catch a fish before and come back here (how come I've never seen him catch a fish before)?"
Luo Zhongqiang stepped forward at this time and said: "Where are there any fish in the river surrounding our village? They are all tied with some dinner strips!
Jiang Yun is already very impressive if he can catch such a big carp this time."
After listening to them talking to each other for a long time, Su Jianmin's hands were sore when holding the carp soup. He couldn't help but said: "Stop chatting, just go in and eat it. It won't taste good if it's cold."
"Yes, yes, oh, thank you. You even cooked it specially and brought it to us."
"I have nothing to thank you for. Speaking of which, I have to thank you for raising a good child who is sensible and capable." When Su Jianmin handed over the fish, he specifically mentioned that Jiang Yun was worried that Xiaosi would drown, so he jumped into the river to help catch it. Regarding the fish, I kept praising him.
Wang Xiumei and Chen Zhaohong, who had pointed at Jiang Yun and scolded him before, felt a little embarrassed.
Luo Zhongqiang said: "Jiang Yun is a really good kid. If he hadn't been named Jiang and his household registration was not in our village, he would have been able to get work points in the production team long ago."
"If you can't get work points, you can only eat for free. What's the use? Oh, let's not talk about this..." Jiang Yun's grandfather sighed and returned to the house with the fish soup.
Others followed closely, wanting to drink a bowl of fish soup while it was hot and eat more fish.
A family that was originally quarreling and noisy now became happy because of a sudden extra bowl of fish soup.
Jiang Yun's mother's name is Huang Yuzhu. She is tall, nearly 1.7 meters tall, but has a skinny figure. Her back looks like a long bamboo pole.
Her skin color is very bad, gray and dark, with heavy dark circles under her eyes, and sunken eye sockets. It seems that she has been ill for many years and has not taken care of herself.
When her family members all came in, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and cough for a while, then stood quietly outside the door, as if hesitating whether to bring her son in.
Her mother had already taken two steps into the house, but now she turned back to hold her hand and said something in the local dialect, wiping her tears while speaking.
The general meaning of the words is, "Don't blame your mother for not helping you just now. In fact, your father and I are already old and can't make money. Now we have to rely on your two brothers to live. If I help you, I will be forced to Your two sisters-in-law are gone, what will your brother do? I can't let them lose their wife and children, and the family will be ruined."
Huang Yuzhu also burst into tears after hearing this.
She choked and said: "I don't want to cause trouble to you, but I really don't have anywhere to go (I don't want to cause trouble to you, because I really have nowhere to go)."
The mother and daughter chatted for a while, and Huang Yuzhu's mother took her home, saying that she should wait until she got home to talk about anything she had to say, so as not to let outsiders read the joke.
Before Jiang Yun followed his mother home, he looked at Jinbao gratefully and said sincerely: "Thank you."
"No thanks," Jinbao said with a smile, "Brother Ayun, my fourth brother wants to be friends with you and let you teach him how to swim. Come and play with us when you have time."
"okay……"
"Then I'll go now. Goodbye." Jinbao waved her little hand, turned around and went home with her father.
Jiang Yun looked at the little girl's disappearing back, then looked down at his hand that Jin Bao had held before, and felt that the palm of his hand was still warm, which could warm his heart.
The next day, Bai Lu prepared breakfast early in the morning.
She washed the pot and was about to light it when she found a large bag of burning branches next to the stove.
Thinking that Wennian went to the woods to pick it up, she walked to the second floor and saw that everyone had just gotten up. Wennian was about to brush his teeth and rinse his mouth with a washbasin in his hand. She hurriedly said to him: "What time did you get up? What?
Did you come back in time? You didn't go to the woods to collect firewood before dawn, did you?"
"Ah?" Su Wennian was confused and asked, "Mom, what are you talking about?"
"Didn't you pick up that big bag of branches next to the stove?"
"Twigs?" Su Wennian shook his head, "No, I just woke up."
Bai Lu frowned in confusion, "Who could it be? Xiao Si can't be that hard-working, could it be Xiao Wu?"
Hearing his mother mention his name, Su Xiaowu rubbed his eyes with one hand, covered his mouth with the other and yawned. He walked behind his mother and asked in a lazy voice: "Mom, what are you and the third brother talking about?"
"There is a big bag of branches in the kitchen, did you pick it up?" Bai Lu turned around and asked.
"I didn't," Su Xiaowu thought for a while and said, "After dinner last night, I talked to Jinbao for a while. I felt sleepy soon and went to bed and fell asleep. I slept until just now. My fourth brother was with me.
It's probably not him who went to bed."
After excluding several children, Bai Lu asked her husband, and Su Jianmin also said that he did not pick up the bag of branches by himself.
"That's strange, who could it be?" The whole family was confused.
A very likely person suddenly appeared in Jinbao's mind, but he didn't say it out loud.
Another day passed. Jinbao got up very early, carried her parents on her back and quietly walked to the first floor and hid in the kitchen.
Not long after, there was a "squeaking" sound of the door opening coming from outside the kitchen, followed by a series of light footsteps.
Jin Bao squatted in the corner and poked his little head out from under the table where the dishes and chopsticks were placed. He saw someone crossing the threshold, carrying a bag of heavy objects, carefully placing it next to the stove, and then turned around to leave.
.
When he opened the door and was about to leave, Jin Bao got out from under the table and said sharply: "You are not allowed to leave!"
The other party was obviously frightened by her, and his face suddenly turned red, "I, I'm not..."
"What are you? Aren't you here to steal? Of course I know you are not stealing," Jin Bao walked up to Jiang Yun and asked doubtfully, "But why did you secretly come to my house to deliver these branches and firewood?"
Looking into Jin Bao's eyes, Jiang Yun's face became even redder and he said shyly: "To thank you."
Jinbao smiled and said, "I told you last time that my fourth brother really wants to be friends with you. You can come directly to our house to play. We can also go collect firewood together in the future. You don't have to send things to my house secretly.
.”
As if thinking of something, Jiang Yun's eyes were filled with loneliness, "I can't be friends with you..."
