Jiang Cheng ate a bowl of hot noodle soup and felt warm all over.
"Okay, go to bed after eating, and we'll talk tomorrow!"
"What time is it!"
Grandma Shen began to urge.
It is indeed late.
Jiang Cheng agreed with a smile, and after chatting with a few people for a while, he carried his bag and went back to the next room.
As soon as I opened the door to the next door, the heat hit me in the face.
The stove is already set up.
There is a chimney pipe as thick as a thigh above the stove, running from the top to the window.
A hole was opened in the window, and the pipe went out through it. The edges of the hole were sealed with yellow mud.
Although it is not beautiful, it is very warm.
There is a basin of water in the corner to increase the humidity in the room. Otherwise, the room would be too dry due to the heating of the kang and the stove.
Jiang Cheng put down her handbag, quickly washed her face, brushed her teeth, and then threw herself comfortably on the kang.
The kang is covered with a red and green peony quilt and a blue and white checkered mattress, with blue bamboo curtains, giving it a very retro feel.
Jiang Cheng took off his coat, put on his long underwear and got into the warm bed.
“Oh—so comfortable!”
She rubbed it comfortably twice, sighed with comfort, then got into her sleeping position, covered herself with the quilt, and went to sleep.
All the fatigue in my body disappeared little by little in the warmth.
I feel sleepy.
There is a feeling that I can fall asleep in seconds as long as I close my eyes.
My eyelids were still struggling, but my brain had gone into shutdown mode.
When Jiang Cheng opened his eyes again, it was already bright.
Through the thin blue bamboo curtains, I could vaguely see someone walking in the yard outside, not to mention the sound of talking.
Jiang Cheng turned over lazily and for the first time didn't want to get up.
As soon as this thought came to mind, Jiang Cheng persuaded himself to accept it calmly.
There’s nothing I can do. The current temperature of the bed is just right.
It was like a charming little elf, trying every means to seduce her.
Jiang Cheng lay there for about another ten minutes.
"Hey - your bladder boss has spoken! You have to get up!"
Jiang Cheng began to put on his clothes layer by layer.
He got dressed, put on his military coat, and opened the door with a creak.
The cold air instantly penetrated into my nostrils, and my warm nasal cavity felt as if it was frozen for a moment.
"I'm up."
"Morning, Grandma Shen! I'm going to the bathroom!"
"Hurry up and go!"
Grandma Shen, who was sitting at the door, inserted the needle in her hand into the sewing board and then put it into the needle and thread basket.
He patted his thighs, stood up, carried the sewing basket back to the house, and went to prepare dinner.
After Jiang Cheng came back, he went straight into Grandma Shen’s room.
There were only two of them left at home.
Shen Xing and Shen Yue went to school, and Shen Que went to the machinery factory early in the morning.
Grandma Shen placed a bowl of wontons on the table and said with a gossipy smile, "You didn't see it. I was thinking about cooking rice in the morning, but Shen Que said to make wontons, and said that the reheated rice was not as delicious as the fresh wontons."
"That kind of concern...I can't stand it."
Grandma Shen said it with disdain, but Jiang Cheng smiled when he heard it.
"You're thinking of me, not bad."
"Did Chen Que say anything else? Did you feel bad for not seeing me this morning?"
Grandma Shen glanced at Jiang Cheng with disdain and said, "It has to be you. Other girls would blush when they hear me say this."
Jiang Cheng said proudly: "What's so famous about this! I have the ability to be liked!"
Grandma Shen was amused by Jiang Cheng.
"You are responsible for half of the wrinkles on my face."
Jiang Cheng immediately flattered him, "This is called a trace of wisdom, not a wrinkle!"
An old man and a young man were joking with each other.
After Jiang Cheng finished eating, he rushed to wash the dishes.
Grandma Shen was watching from the side, and urged as she looked at them: "Hurry up, there are so many things waiting to be discussed."
Jiang Cheng's eyes lit up, and he asked with great interest, "A lot of things?"
"Of course not!"
Jiang Cheng became even more excited when he heard this.
After brushing it a few times, she washed it clean, put it away, and waited eagerly for Grandma Shen.
Grandma Shen pointed in the direction of the next door and said, "Go to your room, there is a warm kang!"
"Okay!"
Jiang Cheng went out and went back to the next door, first cleaning up the ashes from last night.
She used the fire hook to remove the lid and ring on the stove, and then used the fire hook to pull up the grate.
With a loud crash, all the coal ash fell down.
After collecting it with a scoop, reinstall the stove.
A layer of corn pulp and corn stalks, topped with some chopped corn cobs, small branches, and finally a few pieces of coal.
They were considered a luxury, as most people used coal briquettes made of coal slag mixed with yellow mud.
After the stove was lit, Grandma Shen came over with some cloth, needle and thread, and a bag of cotton.
Jiang Cheng hurried forward to continue.
"What is this for?"
"I'll make you some cotton pants."
After Grandma Shen finished speaking, she put everything on the kang and looked at the stove that Jiang Chengsheng had cooked.
"Okay! I won't freeze anymore."
Jiang Cheng put down the things in his hands and looked at Grandma Shen, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"I can't tell for a moment whether you are praising me or insulting me."
Grandma Shen coaxed her like a child: "Praise! Praise!!"
Jiang Cheng shook his head and laughed, "I can actually do a lot of work, but you guys never let me do it!"
"I went out this time, and if I woke up a little later, I wouldn't even have the chance to wash my face."
"If I hadn't refused so many times, Sister Lian would have washed my feet!"
Grandma Shen nodded repeatedly and stared at Jiang Cheng, which made Jiang Cheng a little scared.
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It’s even more exciting later!
"What's wrong? Did the coal dust affect my beauty?"
Grandma Shen was broken by Jiang Cheng's words.
"Don't talk nonsense. With your personality, you can even use coal ash as eyebrow drawing!"
Jiang Cheng immediately nodded with a smile to show his agreement.
Grandma Shen stared at Jiang Cheng and said:
"It's strange, I don't know why, but I always feel like you're great outside, but you're not good at anything at home?"
Jiang Cheng showed an exaggerated expression and made a concluding speech.
"That's great! I have a face that doesn't require me to work and is still understood by others!"
The two couldn't help but look at each other, and couldn't help but laugh at the same time.
After laughing, Grandma Shen carried the kettle with a black bottom and placed it on the stove.
Jiang Cheng cut an apple, took a few oranges, and put some White Rabbit milk candies on the small kang table.
Grandma Shen took out a thin rope without any weight and called Jiang Cheng.
"Come here, let me measure you. You need to leave more space for these cotton pants. It's different from making single clothes."
Jiang Cheng obediently walked over and spread out his arms.
After measuring the size, the two people took off their shoes and got on the kang, chatting while working.
Grandma Shen drew the lines first, then cut the fabric with small red flowers, while Jiang Cheng pulled the fabric opposite.
With a sound of Katz, the scissors slid from one end to the other, and a piece of cloth was cut.
"I'm telling you, Lin Jiaojiao is back."
Jiang Cheng lowered his head and hummed, then raised his head and frowned.
"Did she go back to the Lin family?"
Grandma Shen nodded, spread out the cut cloth, and began to accumulate cotton (which means laying cotton layer by layer).
Jiang Cheng waited and waited eagerly.
"My dear grandmother, don't keep me in suspense. Please tell me something!"
Grandma Shen looked up and sighed.
"Lin Jiaojiao... her face is ruined."
