Children who grow up in rural areas, especially little boys, tend to be naughty when they are young.
Hanshan Village has a reservoir, a lotus pond, and large and small ditches.
In short, there is a lot of water.
When the three Jiang An brothers were young, they were very naughty like most little boys.
The adults warned us not to play by the water, but once the older children took the lead, the younger children happily followed.
This led to an accident!
At that time, there was an eight-year-old boy and two five- or six-year-old girls who fell into the water and drowned while playing by the river!
The other villagers were scared at that time!
Because of this incident, the villagers began to pay attention to the safety of children, especially playing by the water was strictly controlled.
Jiang An and his three brothers almost drowned at that time, but fortunately there were branches by the water.
When Jiang Lai and Jiang Yang fell into the water, the eldest brother Jiang An had an idea and used a branch to rescue his two younger brothers.
After this incident, the villagers arranged people to patrol the waterside day and night for fear that more children would drown.
Jiang Jianjun is Jiang's father. After experiencing that incident, he taught his three sons diving skills in the water tank at home.
Under the careful guidance of their father, the three Jiang An brothers gradually mastered the skill of swimming.
Father’s love is like a mountain, perhaps this is the best interpretation.
When Jiang's father was alive, he loved his wife deeply and cherished her very much; as for his children, he doted on them but did not spoil them. He focused more on cultivating their survival ability and independent spirit.
Such a father is undoubtedly an excellent role model...
As the sun sets, Jiang Yang returns home with brisk steps.
As soon as I entered the house, I smelled the tempting aroma of food, which is the taste of home.
The family sat together and started to enjoy dinner.
What is different from usual is that today's table is no longer a monotonous array of dried vegetables, but there is a rare fresh dish.
Jiang Yang's eyes lit up and he asked:
"Are there any water chestnuts harvested in the village today?"
After saying that, he picked up a chopstick and gently put it into his wife's bowl.
When Jiang An heard his third brother's question, he smiled and nodded, then replied:
"Yes, we were busy picking water chestnuts this afternoon!
The village is bustling with activity. The water chestnuts have been taken to the commune to be sold, and we will be able to get our share of salt tomorrow."
When Jiang Yang heard this, he couldn't help but feel a joy similar to that of a good harvest.
Salt is a precious necessity for them.
Water chestnuts can be exchanged for salt, which can help everyone save some money on buying salt.
At this time, Jiang Lai interrupted excitedly, with a proud glint in his eyes, and he said triumphantly:
"Third brother, if you were there at the time, you would have seen how impressive my eldest brother and I were!"
Then he boasted enthusiastically about his heroic deeds in the afternoon, describing in vivid detail how bravely he worked in the water, which stunned everyone.
Everyone applauded and cheered, showing great support.
However, when Jiang Lai said it twice in a row, Song Yue looked at the second son's wife with some helplessness, suggesting that she should control the second son's showing-off behavior.
"Eat your food."
Qian Duoduo was very direct and stuffed a steamed bun into her man's mouth.
"Woo woo woo~"
Jiang Lai whimpered. His wife was so good to him. What should he do if his goodness felt a bit burdensome?
The Jiang family was having dinner in a good atmosphere, but the Jiang family was not so happy.
Qin Zhaodi behaved very timidly, fearing that she would be criticized by her husband.
But what is coming will come.
“Bang!”
Jiang Jianguo was tired after a long day, and when he saw the dinner, he became angry.
After throwing his chopsticks, he angrily shouted:
"Eating pickled cabbage and cornmeal every day, can't you change your taste?!"
"You stay at home all day and do nothing. If you can't cook other dishes, why don't you teach your daughter-in-law how to cook?
All you do all day is cause trouble for me and slack off at home. Did I marry you just to let you eat for free?
Faced with her husband's pointless attacks, Qin Zhaodi felt both aggrieved and embarrassed.
Her children and new daughter-in-law are all here, and her husband treats her like that in public. What status will she have in this family in the future?
"Dad, my sister is getting married soon, and Mom is too busy. We'll just have to make do with this simple meal."
Although Jiang Wangjing was dissatisfied with his mother, she was his biological mother after all. As a son, if he was not filial to and did not help his biological mother who gave birth to him, he would be a piece of shit.
"Speaking of Sisi getting married, Sisi and your wife are both here. Starting tomorrow, Aixia will be the scorekeeper. Sisi will stay at home and help your mother with some housework. She can get familiar with the housework in advance and avoid getting married and bringing shame to our Jiang family."
Seeing his son interrupting, Jiang Jianguo went down the stairs and stopped scolding his wife.
He got angry just now. On the one hand, he was really angry that his wife always embarrassed him. On the other hand, he was also threatening his daughter-in-law to maintain the reputation of their Jiang family.
After hearing what her father said, Jiang Sisi thought:
Leave everything to your younger brothers and sisters-in-law. If you have the guts, don't ask her, your daughter, to take care of you in your old age.
Ye Aixia was eating while observing other people's faces, her heart was filled with joy. Being a scorekeeper was good, it was not like being exposed to the wind and sun, and it was more respectable!
Qin Zhaodi, who was standing by, was secretly glad that her son spoke up in time to smooth things over, otherwise her husband would definitely scold her.
Although she made her son feel sad and upset, he was her own son after all.
At the critical moment, it was her son who spoke well of her.
"I see."
