Jiang Xiyue didn't know why and was about to speak. Jiang Ju, who was following Chen Hua, was startled by her appearance at this moment and burst into tears:
"Ghost, ghost, there is a ghost coming to my house."
Chen Hua made a hard face and pushed Jiang Xiyue hard, causing her to fall heavily to the ground.
"Don't be afraid, Ju'er. This is Jiang Xiyue, not a ghost. She just got pot ashes on her face while working. She's fine."
He pulled Jiang Ju into his arms and patted his back. Seeing that Jiang Xiyue was still sitting on the ground, Chen Hua rolled his eyes and cursed:
"You bitch, why don't you wash your face quickly? Who are you trying to scare by sitting on the ground?"
Jiang Xiyue was completely stunned.
Didn't she just take a shower and her hair was not dry yet. What did Chen Hua say about black and gray?
002 saw her stunned and quickly reminded her:
"Host, the Rebirth Pill has taken effect. Your body is now covered with black impurities excreted by your body. Go and take a shower."
Jiang Qiyue's eyes widened. When he reached out his hand, he saw a thick layer of black dirt covering the back of his hand.
"I'll go."
Jiang Xiyue jumped three feet high and immediately rushed to the kitchen to boil hot water.
This 002, why didn't you tell her when she took the pills just now? Why did you tell her now!
Seeing her running away, Chen Hua accompanied Jiang Ju to the latrine to urinate with a gloomy face.
After heating the hot water as quickly as possible, Jiang Xiyue went back to the room and took a shower.
When she came out after washing, Chen Hua was waiting for her in the kitchen with an impatient expression.
"Come on, go to Li Doufu's house in the village and buy a piece of tofu. Ju'er wants to eat it tonight.
Don't try to eat it secretly. If you get the tofu back later, if it's half a dime short, I'll beat you to death. "
Jiang Xiyue took a copper plate handed over by Chen Hua, said yes, picked up the bamboo basket and walked out.
After she left, Chen Hua stared at her back twice, wondering what was going on. She felt that this little bitch looked better after her face was cleaned.
After Jiang Feng finished cutting the firewood and tied it up, he asked an acquaintance in the village to help deliver it to an old buyer in the city.
When the firewood buyers saw that his leg was injured, they came to sell firewood and gave him five more coppers before letting him leave.
After coming out, Jiang Feng gave the helper three coins, wrapped the rest and put it in his arms.
Xinghua Village is not far from the town. The uncle who helped Jiang Feng had something to do tonight and had to go find his younger brother in the city and asked him to go back alone.
Jiang Feng thanked him again, and after they parted, he returned to the village alone with the woodcutter in hand.
As the sun set in the west, Jiang Xiyue hurried to Jiang's house with a bamboo basket in hand.
When she went to Li Doufu's house just now, she caught up with Aunt Li cooking tofu for sale tomorrow.
When he saw her coming to buy tofu, he asked her to wait, saying that the tofu was low today and had been sold out long ago. If she wanted to buy it, he would cut it into two pieces for her after the pot was cooked.
Jiang Xiyue had no choice but to hand over the copper plate and wait for the tofu to come out of the pot.
She had been waiting for more than an hour. It was already Unit Time (17-19 o'clock). If she didn't go back, Chen Hua would find trouble again later.
Just as she was rushing home in a hurry, she saw Jiang Feng walking slowly on the side road at the entrance of the village, leaning on a wooden stick.
Compared to his calmness last night, after a day's work and the impact of his leg injury, Jiang Xiyue saw that he was in a very embarrassed state. His body was covered with grass clippings and dirt, and he was swaying when he walked, showing signs of weakness.
"elder brother."
Jiang Xiyue caught up and shouted.
Jiang Feng didn't realize at first that he was calling him. When Jiang Xiyue caught up with him and stood beside him, he realized it was her.
Jiang Feng turned his head and glanced at her, using the orange sun that had not yet fallen on the horizon to clearly see the joyful look on Jiang Xiyue's face.
In the past, Jiang Xiyue never called him brother.
From last night to now, Jiang Feng couldn't remember how many times he heard her shout.
Hearing her call again, Jiang Feng was suspicious in his heart and did not respond.
"Brother, have you earned enough twenty copper coins?
If not, I will help you persuade your mother not to be angry later. "
Jiang Xiyue was very happy now. As soon as she looked at Jiang Feng, she saw that the malice value on the top of his head was still 9994, which was a great thing.
Jiang Feng leaned on the wooden stick without opening his mouth, and tightened his grip on the woodcutter.
Jiang Xiyue raised her head, looked at Jiang Feng's stiff face, and suddenly realized that although Jiang Feng was thin, he was very tall.
He had just reached ten years old, but he inherited Jiang Dashi's stature and was extremely tall.
Jiang Qiyue took a few visual measurements and felt that he was at least 1.6 meters tall.
The original person is about nine years old, 1.3 meters tall, just reaching Jiang Feng's shoulders.
Jiang Xiyue walked side by side with him. After walking for a while, she suddenly remembered something, walked closer to Jiang Feng, and whispered:
"Brother, I secretly placed a bowl of noodles in your room and hid a steamed bun.
If your mother doesn't allow you to have dinner, just eat noodles in secret.
After you finish eating the bowl of noodles, you quietly put it in the corner. I'll get it tomorrow. "
In the morning, she took two steamed buns, gave one to Jiang Feng, and kept one for herself. But she had eaten at noon in the morning, so she found an opportunity to put the remaining one next to the noodles.
Jiang Feng frowned and turned to look at her:
"Jiang Xiyue, I don't have anything to give you here. What do you want by doing this?
Do you think the beating I received was not enough? Are you going to tease me for two days and then let your mother deal with me? "
No matter what Jiang Xiyue wanted to do, it didn't matter to him.
But if she dares to touch his mother's relics, he will definitely make her life worse than death.
Jiang Xiyue shook his head quickly, his eyes clear:
"I don't want anything.
Brother, it was my fault before.
Mom doesn't like you, and she doesn't like me on weekdays. I thought that by helping her bully you, I could get the same love as my brother.
Later I realized that I was wrong. No matter what I did, my mother only cared about my younger brother.
I will not continue to do wrong things to pursue my mother's love.
If your mother bullies you again in the future, I will help you. No matter what, you are still my brother. "
After saying these half-truths and half-false words from the bottom of his heart, Jiang Qiyue anxiously waited for Jiang Feng's reaction.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Feng just turned to glance at her and left without saying a word.
Jiang Xiyue was dumbfounded, what did he mean?
Did you listen to what she said?
The two arrived at Jiang's house one after the other. Afraid that Chen Hua would think too much, Jiang Xiyue walked a few steps quickly and walked into the yard ahead of Jiang Feng.
Chen Hua was furious waiting at home. When she saw Jiang Xiyue coming in, she stepped forward and grabbed her ears and asked:
"Little bitch, you still know how to come back?
Look at what time it is now. It took you so long to buy a tofu. Why don’t you die outside? "
Jiang Xiyue didn't expect that Chen Hua would take action as soon as he came up. He protected her ears and hit her waist hard. When she let go while she was crying in pain, she immediately handed over the bamboo basket.
"It's not that I didn't come back, it's because Aunt Li's tofu was sold out today. I went to their house to make fresh ones, so I waited for a while.
If Mom doesn’t believe it, you can go directly to Aunt Li’s house and ask about the situation. "
Jiang Xiyue rubbed her ears and backed away quickly, gritting her teeth and cursing secretly, this fierce woman almost had her ears ripped off by her.
Chen Hua opened the cloth on the bamboo basket and saw that the two pieces of white and tender tofu were still warm, and then she believed Jiang Xiyue.
"Go in and cut the tofu into cubes and fry it. Your father and brother are still waiting to eat."
Jiang Xiyue reluctantly walked into the kitchen carrying tofu. Chen Hua turned around and saw Jiang Feng walking in with a wooden stick.
Chen Hua's face turned dark and she stepped forward to search him directly.
"Come back so early, the firewood is sold out?"
Jiang Feng hummed and said nothing again. He watched helplessly as the fruits of his day's work were snatched away by Chen Hua.
Chen Hua took out the coins from his arms, counted them in her hand, and glared at him, very dissatisfied:
"Why are there only fifteen copper coins? Didn't I tell you that you have to sell twenty copper coins before you can go home?"
Jiang Feng raised his head and stared at Chen Hua, cherishing the words like gold:
"My broken leg hurts, so I can't use force."
Chen Hua got angry looking at his face and interrupted him impatiently:
"Stop making excuses for me, it's not the first time your leg has been broken.
If you don't earn enough twenty coppers, you won't be able to have dinner today. "
"Mom, should you put sugar or salt when frying tofu?"
Chen Hua wanted to continue scolding, but Jiang Xiyue suddenly stuck his head out and asked her at the kitchen door.
Chen Hua stopped talking, turned around and started scolding Jiang Xiyue:
"Are you a pig? Don't you know that Ji'er only eats sweet tofu?"
Chen Hua said, rolling up her sleeves and walking to the kitchen, quite angry.
Jiang Xiyue glanced in Jiang Feng's direction, retracted her head, and retreated into the kitchen.
After a while, Chen Hua's harsh curses came from the kitchen. Jiang Feng paused for a while and walked back to the room slowly, leaning on a wooden stick.
