She'd rather walk home and avoid a beating.
Once everyone had arrived, the oxcart set off.
Their journey back was very quiet; no one spoke, and they all watched the passing scenery.
The journey was quiet, and when they arrived at the tree in front of the brigade, Jiang Anxia and Wang Yuejiao parted ways.
They each went back to their own homes.
After returning home, Wang Yuejiao took out 50 cents from her pocket and immediately knew who had put it there.
A smile involuntarily crept onto his lips as he shook his head with a helpless expression.
It seems that she and Xiaxia sometimes really do have the same ideas.
Meanwhile, Jiang Anxia, walking down the street, had just put her hand in her pocket and pulled out five cents.
Jiang Anxia smiled.
Would you call this telepathy?
Thinking about it carefully, it must be true. Neither of them said anything, but they both secretly slipped the money the other had spent on them into each other's pockets.
They would never take advantage of the other person; such friends are truly worth making close friends with.
It seems that the original owner used up all his good judgment on Wang Yuejiao.
However, it's better to have quality friends than quantity.
Jiang Anxia had just arrived home and hadn't even sat down for a drink of water when a light drizzle began to fall.
She frowned slightly, took out a few umbrellas from inside the house, and then quickly ran towards where the Jiang family was working.
"Xiaxia? It's raining, why are you here?" Jiang Zhuohua frowned slightly and stepped forward to take the umbrella from Jiang Anxia's arms.
"I saw it was raining and was worried you'd get wet, so I came to bring you umbrellas," Jiang Anxia explained gently.
Actually, since it's raining, they don't need to go to work and can go home.
This is also why Jiang Anxia brought an umbrella.
"Xiaxia, you go back first. We'll finish up and then go home." When Jiang's mother saw her daughter arrive, she patted the dirt off her hands, stood up, and looked at Jiang Anxia.
“No, I’ll go with you.” Jiang Anxia shook her head, disagreeing with her mother.
"Listen to me, Xiaxia. We'll go back as soon as we're done. You go back first and boil some water for us. We can take a bath when we get home." Seeing that Jiang Anxia refused, Jiang's mother came up with a perfect plan.
She believed that as long as she said that, Jiang Anxia would definitely agree.
"This..." Jiang Anxia hesitated as expected. She thought about it for a moment and felt that this might also work.
"Alright then! I'll wait for you to come back at home."
"Okay, the rain is getting heavier, let's go home quickly!" As the rain intensified, Jiang's mother urged Jiang Anxia to hurry home.
"Okay." Jiang Anxia paused for a moment after saying that, and finally left with her umbrella.
Jiang's mother is right. She will go back and boil water for them so they can take a bath as soon as they get home.
Jiang Anxia, holding an umbrella, hurried back.
As soon as I got home, I washed the pot, added a large pot of water, and then skillfully lit the fire.
Because the fire was so big, the water in the pot was already boiling when Jiang's mother and the others returned.
"Oh dear! The rain is getting heavier and heavier. Luckily we sped up, otherwise this umbrella would be useless." Jiang's mother stood under the eaves, shaking the umbrella in her hand to shake the rainwater off to the ground.
"The weather is really like a child's face, changing in an instant," Jiang's father sighed and said in a low voice.
“Who says otherwise? It was sunny in the morning, but who knew it would turn into a downpour in the afternoon?” Jiang’s mother put the umbrella aside and continued Jiang’s father’s words.
"Dad, on second thought, this rain is actually a good thing!" Jiang Zhuohua exclaimed as he looked at the torrential rain.
"That's true." Father Jiang nodded in agreement.
Rain at this time is indeed a good thing, as crops tend to grow better.
"Mom and Dad, eldest brother and sister-in-law, you should go find some clothes and take a shower first, otherwise you'll catch a cold." Jiang Anxia reminded the four of them as she walked to the kitchen door.
“Okay, we understand.” Jiang’s mother responded, then turned to Jiang Zhuohua and said, “Eldest son, go to the school first to deliver umbrellas to third son Wangwang and Xingxing. You’ll be back just in time.”
"Okay." Jiang Zhuohua nodded, picked up the umbrella, and walked outside.
"Mom, go take a shower first." Zhou Laidi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Jiang Zhuohua go to deliver umbrellas to Jiang Nanqiu and the others at school.
"You go first. You can't catch a cold, or you'll regret it later." Mother Jiang shook her head and told Zhou Laidi to go first.
"Mom..." Zhou Laidi wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Jiang's mother.
"Stop calling me. Just go when I tell you to. Why are you making so many noises?" Mother Jiang said sternly, turning and going back to her room.
Zhou Laidi, who remained where she was, quietly reddened her eyes.
That's why she likes the Jiang family.
Their concern is often expressed in this way, without being overtly shown.
But Zhou Laidi understood everything, so she never harbored any resentment and instead cared for them even more.
"Sister-in-law, come quick! I've prepared the water for you." After her mother told Zhou Laidi to wash first, Jiang Anxia went back to the kitchen to prepare water for her.
The water was ready, but Zhou Laidi hadn't arrived yet, so she called out from the doorway.
"Okay! Coming right away." Zhou Laidi hurriedly ran back to her room, found a change of clothes, and ran to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Jiang Anxia was slowly moving the wooden bucket.
The wooden bucket was full of water, but because Jiang Anxia was not strong, she could only move it little by little.
"Xiaxia, let me do it." Zhou Laidi pursed her lips and stepped forward to take the wooden bucket.
“It’s so heavy, let’s carry it over together.” Jiang Anxia shook her head.
She knew how heavy the bucket of water was, and that it wouldn't be enough for Zhou Laidi to carry it alone.
“Okay,” Zhou Laidi said softly.
She knew Jiang Anxia's personality; even if she refused, Jiang Anxia would still carry it with her instead of letting her carry it alone.
Rather than doing that, I'd rather just agree.
Seeing that Zhou Laidi no longer refused, Jiang Anxia and Zhou Laidi carried the wooden tub together toward the bathroom in the backyard.
"Sister-in-law, hurry up and wash, your pants are almost completely soaked." Jiang Anxia had noticed Zhou Laidi's trouser legs from the beginning, but she hadn't said anything.
"Understood," Zhou Laidi's voice rang out with a smile.
"I'm off then. Call me if you need anything." Jiang Anxia smiled and turned to leave.
“Okay,” Zhou Laidi replied in a low voice.
She is very lucky to have married into the harmonious Jiang family.
???
As evening approached, the Jiang family sat in the main room talking. They had already eaten dinner, so they only exchanged a few words before returning to their rooms.
A sudden knocking sound rang out in the Jiang family's courtyard.
Jiang Anxia stood up and went to open the door. She was curious about who was coming to the Jiang family despite the rain.
When Jiang Anxia opened the door, she couldn't believe her eyes.
It was Wang Er'e.
Why would she come?
"Oh! It's Xia girl! Is your mother home?" Wang Er'e smiled, but inwardly she couldn't help but curse.
