"cannot."
Jiang Yue interrupted directly and was about to close the door. Who has the time to listen to her talk about how good her old son is. It would have been great to be able to take exams, but now I can't even afford meat, and I have to ask my wife to go out to beg for it. It's really useless!
Ms. Liu was stunned for a moment, not expecting her to be so cruel.
"You, we are neighbors after all, but you woman is too hard-hearted! Aren't you afraid that other neighbors will know that you have pork in your house?"
Jiang Yue paused her hands and raised her eyebrows, "Are you threatening me? Are you going to tell other neighbors that I eat alone?"
Liu raised her chin, thinking that this would force her to compromise.
"Just go ahead, I don't care." Why do we need neighbors to come at this time? Come and share your food and meat?
"If that's not enough, you go to the Yamen and sue me. Is there any law that requires that if my family has meat to eat, your family will get a piece of it? Are you my grandson? You want to come begging for food."
It turns out that the people in the city are the same as the people in the village, they are just as shameless and love to take advantage. Yes, this is all human nature, and it cannot be made different by having more money or less money.
Ms. Liu's face turned red and her body swayed. She was obviously angry. She pointed at her and said, "You woman, you are too rude!"
What a grandson, what a beggar! It’s too ugly! Since she moved away from the village and her son was admitted as a scholar, everyone has been polite to her. No one has ever dared to speak to her like this!
"Yueyue, what's wrong?"
Seeing that she didn't come back for a long time, Jiang Nian was a little worried, so he followed her out.
"It's nothing, someone came to beg for food."
Her tone of voice was sarcastic, which hurt the Liu family. Only poor relatives came to their house to enjoy the autumn breeze, but now they were regarded as the autumn breeze by others. How could they bear it?
She took off her weak coat and wanted to have a good argument, but her husband came out.
Liu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law saw this tall man with a big knife in his hand, bright red blood stains on his body and face, and a serious expression, like a living king of hell.
Immediately I was so frightened that my legs became weak. I was afraid that the knife would be chopped off if I disagreed. I was trembling and could not speak.
The two of them supported each other and ran home in small steps. Even the oil-paper umbrellas were crooked and no one paid attention to them.
Jiang Yue closed the door, turned around, looked at the young man's appearance, and sighed, "Didn't I tell you to stay away? There is blood splattered everywhere on him, like a murderer on a rainy night."
She wanted to have nightmares when she saw it.
Jiang Nian was aggrieved, but the pig was disobedient and said, "Wipe it."
He wiped his face with his sleeve. The more he wiped it, the larger the blood stain on his face became, and the more horrifying it became. His sleeve couldn't save it.
She sighed, forget it, she was wearing old clothes anyway, so she just threw them away.
Because of his good performance, Jiang Nian was rewarded with a large bowl of egg fried rice. The distinct grains of rice were wrapped in golden egg liquid, mixed with minced meat and green onion, and had a fragrant aroma. Paired with a bowl of chive and pig blood soup, it's perfect.
"Is it tasty?"
"Yeah, delicious."
He has conversations every day and can now speak short sentences of two or three words, which is a great improvement.
Jiang Yue also has a full schedule every day. In the morning, she runs around the corridor more than a dozen times and does two sets of exercises. When her body is warm, she starts reading medical books;
After getting up from a nap, I read the book describing contemporary clothing, cut fabrics to make hats and winter coats, and cultivate my sentiments;
In the evening, I occasionally steam some mixed flour pancakes and multigrain steamed buns for later use;
Go to bed after dark.
I live a healthier life now than I did in high school.
One morning, Jiang Yue shivered in her sleep and crawled into Jiang Nian's warm arms, but it still wasn't enough.
Jiang Nian opened his eyes and touched her face with his fingers, which felt a little cold. So he took off his pajamas and transformed into a wolf.
Jiang Yue, who was tightly wrapped, felt very comfortable. She adjusted her sleeping position and fell asleep again.
When she woke up, she rubbed her eyes and hugged the furry wolf tail on her body, but she suddenly changed back.
Jiang Nian licked her face, but Jiang Yue disliked it, "Ah, you haven't brushed your teeth and washed your face, don't lick it, it's disgusting-"
While playing around, she seemed to notice something was wrong. It was too bright this morning and the doors and windows were not opened. This dazzling light comes from the gaps in the doors and windows!
She suddenly came to her senses. She was very warm, but her skin exposed to the air was cold.
It’s cooling down!
She quickly took out a cotton coat from the space and gave one to Jiang Nian.
She is estimated to be 1.6 meters tall now, and her coat can reach her calves. She looks like a dwarf stealing an adult's clothes.
When Jiang Nian put it on, it only covered his hips and was a bit tight at the shoulder line. But it doesn’t matter, I can wear it!
After putting on my clothes, I opened the door and felt a blast of cold wind!
“Hiss—it’s so cold!”
She couldn't help but tremble. From the roof to the yard, everything she could see was white.
In September, it snowed heavily!
Afraid of hurting her eyes, she lowered her eyes and stopped looking directly at the snow.
Fortunately, the door hasn't frozen yet.
She was worried about the poultry and livestock, and hurriedly ran to see them. The rabbits had fur, and although they were huddled together in the cold, they still had energy. Duck is okay too, maybe it’s because of duck down’s warmth.
But the chickens that had just been taken back were so cold that their crows became weak, and two of their eyes looked like they were about to die.
Jiang Yue had no choice but to kill them and make soup to warm herself up. Well, death is worthy of death.
I sealed the cracks in the doors and windows to make it warmer. She couldn't buy straw, so she had to do this. She couldn't keep them warm day and night. It's almost enough to make roast chicken. She only has ten bags of charcoal. Where can she make enough?
The fur on the sheep was thick and heavy. As for the mules, Jiang Yue looked at the mill and found that they were no longer cold when moving.
I soaked a large bowl of soybeans and started grinding the soy milk.
The big millstone finally came into use. Jiang Nian thought it was fun, so he led the mule to turn the millstone while holding the book on his back.
He didn't want to just sit and read, and Jiang Yue thought it was fine. Sitting in the cold weather can lead to stiffness due to lack of blood circulation.
If when we first met, Jiang Nian was in the initial state of a baby, ignorant and ignorant; then now he is like a primary school student who has begun to understand the world, is curious about everything, and wants to try.
He found the process of turning soybeans into soy milk and then into tofu very interesting.
"Yueyue, the soy milk smells so good! It tastes great!"
"Yueyue, tofu, white, soft, why?"
Jiang Yue didn't want to answer, so she told him that salt brine was added to it. He then asked what salt brine was and why it turned into lumps when salt brine was added.
Jiang Yue had no choice but to pat his big head and said, "Baby, let's go out and have a look?"
"Why do you want to go out?"
"Because I figured it out."
"What are you going to see?"
"Look everywhere."
"That......"
"Stop! Besides, there are no eggs left to eat!"
