Chapter 109 You are the protagonist

After getting on the kang, Li Xu took out a palm-leaf fan and gently fanned Ji Yuanyuan.

A cool breeze blew, and Ji Yuanyuan began to feel a little confused.

At the end of the kang, Li Miao also took a cattail leaf fan and fanned Ji Zixuan.

"Don't feel any psychological burden. You've done so well this time, and our father has been proud of himself too. Let him show off a little!" Li Xu whispered to Li Miao when he saw that he hadn't fallen asleep yet.

Hearing this, Li Miao sighed, feeling a little sad.

Come to think of it, the last time her father felt proud was when her sister married Ji Jianguo!

At that time, Ji Jianguo was a college student with a stable job and a monthly salary of 600 yuan.

Who in the village doesn’t envy their family and her sister?

But who would have known that in just a few years, it would be completely changed.

The two sisters fell asleep while chatting.

The next morning, before dawn, Ji Ziang was pulled out of bed by Li Zhiming and Liu Guihua.

Ji Ziang could hardly open his eyes. Who knew there were so many mosquitoes in the field that even hanging a mosquito net was useless.

He had at least a dozen bites on his body and hadn't slept for most of the night.

"Grandpa, I want to sleep a little longer. My body is so itchy!" Ji Ziang said while scratching his legs.

If I had known this, I wouldn't have come here to suffer this. It's much better to be at home. Even though it's hot, I won't be bitten all over.

"Bah..." Li Zhiming spat into his palm and rubbed it on the itchy place where Ji Ziang felt itchy, and then he pinched a cross on his palm!

He didn't have the heart to waste time with Ji Ziang right now, as he still had to go to Qili Village to attend the big market. Qili Village was not close to here, so he had to leave early to buy the freshest vegetables.

"Hurry up and wait..."

"Ah..." Before Li Zhiming could finish his words, Ji Ziang sat up from the wooden bed with a somersault.

"Grandpa, did you spit on my leg just now..." Ji Ziang's tone was full of despair, "Grandpa, why are you so unhygienic!"

Ji Ziang got down from the ground, put on his sandals, and went outside.

Fortunately, there was water outside. Ji Ziang scooped some water and poured it on his legs. Only then did he feel a little better.

Li Zhiming had already come out and patted Ji Ziang on the shoulder: "What's wrong! When you were a kid, you were fed by chewing your food, and you never complained about it being dirty!"

Ji Ziang covered his chest and stood in the empty field, feeling waves of nausea. He was finally completely awake.

Ji Yuanyuan went to bed early last night, so she had trouble sleeping in the morning.

She couldn't open her eyes, but she could hear clearly any noise outside.

It seemed like someone came in. From the sound of footsteps, it was my grandpa and grandma. They worked in the fields all year round, so their footsteps were quite heavy.

There is a little kid following behind, he should be the second brother.

But……

Ji Yuanyuan woke up suddenly and sat up from the kang.

Second brother is crying!

She stood up, waking up Li Xu, and also Li Miao and Ji Zixuan.

At this moment, Ji Ziang also entered the room. When he saw Li Xu, he rushed over and burst into tears: "Mom..."

I just woke up, and it's not even daybreak yet. Ji Ziang's crying made Li Xu a little flustered: "What's wrong? What happened?"

She thought Ji Ziang had bumped into something on the ground, so she quickly checked if he had any wounds.

There are no wounds, just a dozen red bumps.

"It's your dad who caused it." Liu Guihua complained, then looked at Li Zhiming, "You caused it, so go and comfort him."

Li Zhiming looked a little embarrassed and said, "Hurry up and get up. It's time to get busy."

Only then did Li Xu realize that it was almost dawn.

Ji Yuanyuan rubbed his eyes, reached out and patted Ji Ziang on the shoulder: "Second brother, there is nothing to cry about. You are a man now, it's not shameful!"

With just one word, Ji Ziang's crying became much quieter.

Seeing this, Li Zhiming hurriedly said, "Miaomiao, you are the protagonist today, so don't go anywhere. Stay at home and watch the three children so they don't run around. If anyone comes, take care of them."

Upon hearing this, Li Miao had already put on his clothes and went to coax Ji Ziang.

Li Xu packed up simply and rode a tricycle to go to the market with Li Zhiming.

Liu Guihua quickly went to the kitchen and made breakfast.

Inside the house, although Ji Ziang was no longer crying loudly, he was still sobbing.

"Okay, okay, Yuanyuan is right. You are a man now, you can't cry at every turn." Li Miao took the paper and gently wiped Ji Ziang's tears.

Ji Ziang sniffed and muttered in a low voice: "I don't cry easily!"

It’s all my grandpa’s fault. He is so unhygienic.

"Aunt, how did we eat when we were little?" After holding back for a moment, Ji Ziang still asked.

This question really made Li Miao feel strange. "How else can you eat it? Of course you eat it with your mouth. It's not like you didn't have a mouth when you were a child!"

Li Miao's words were so funny that Ji Yuanyuan couldn't help but laughed.

Ji Zixuan also had a smile on his face, but after getting dressed, he went to the kitchen and said very diligently: "Grandma, I'll help you light the fire!"

Liu Guihua felt sorry for the child and quickly said, "No need for you, don't get your hands dirty, go play with your brothers and sisters!"

Ji Zixuan did not leave. He sat comfortably next to the stove and helped add firewood.

Inside the house, Ji Ziang finally asked the question: "Grandpa said that when I was a child, adults chewed the rice into pieces and fed it to me. Is that true?"

There was a hint of tears in his voice as he spoke.

As soon as this question was asked, Ji Yuanyuan felt a little nauseous.

For things like this, everyone just needs to know the truth, so why ask?

People like my grandparents’ generation are uneducated, so how could they understand things like bacteria?

Anyway, it was when I was a kid, I don't remember it. Why bother to figure it out? Aren't you the one who's suffering?

Li Miao finally understood why Ji Ziang was crying. She lied without changing her expression, "How is that possible? You all drank milk when you were young. When you were a little older and didn't drink milk anymore, you could use a knife or a spoon to break up the food and feed it to your mouth. It can also exercise your teeth!"

Ji Ziang stopped crying and looked at Li Miao in surprise: "Really?"

Li Miao nodded very seriously: "Of course it's true, how could my aunt lie to you?"

Ji Ziang was a simple boy, and he believed what Li Miao said. After a while, he was lively again.

Not long after breakfast, Liu Guihua went to the Xu family in front. As soon as the pig was brought back, Li Yong also came back.

Gradually, many neighbors came over to help pick vegetables and cut meat.

The tables, chairs, plates and chopsticks were all borrowed from the neighbors, and several tables were soon set up in the yard.

Li Yong was afraid that it would not be enough, so he set up two tables outside.

Li Zhiming and Li Miao came back around ten o'clock.

Li Xu’s tricycle was filled with vegetables.
