The members of the cooperative comforted Chang Li with a few words and then went about their own business. Spring ploughing was approaching, and by the time the work got busy, they would have no time to come to the town.
Whether visiting relatives and friends or doing business or purchasing things, they must be completed before the spring plowing season, otherwise things will be delayed.
As soon as everyone left, Chang Li was really relieved. It wouldn't work if she said too much, and it wouldn't work if she said too little. It was quite difficult anyway.
Fortunately, Jiang Yan showed up soon and didn't make her wait too long.
"You're back."
Jiang Yan smiled and said, "I saw it all, Uncle Luo, can you take us back first?"
"It's convenient. What's the inconvenience? Get in the car." Old Luo picked up the whip and drove the ox cart out of the town.
The car stopped in front of the gate of the Bao family's courtyard. Chao Chao and Mu Mu were playing in the yard. It seemed that the mother and son were connected and had telepathic connection. They pointed in the direction of the gate and called for their mother.
"You two have such sharp ears, is mom back?" Ning Yu opened the door and took a look, oh, it was indeed her.
Chang Li wanted to give Uncle Luo some money for the ride, but Uncle Luo said he wanted nothing. In the end, there was no choice but for Jiang Yan to give him a handful of fruit candies.
"Mom, I'm back."
"Mother."
"Mother."
The two little guys held on to Jiang Yan's thighs and refused to let go, wishing they could climb up.
Jiang Yan quickly handed the things in her hand to Ning Yu, "Hey, let me see, I haven't seen you for a few days, have you gained weight?"
She picked up the two treasures, one in each hand, and when she looked up, she saw Si Lu standing at the door, looking at her with a smile in his eyes.
Jiang Yan pressed the corners of her mouth and said, "Mom, you have worked hard these past few days."
Chang Li felt very sorry, "Auntie, I originally asked you to come over, but my family didn't entertain you well. I'm really neglectful."
"What are you talking about? You guys are in the county to do important things. I can stay anywhere!" Ning Yu said to reassure Chang Li, "Besides, the air in the mountains is great. We can feel comfortable here."
Li Yuejin also came out to greet them, "Of course, we don't consider ourselves outsiders. We don't skimp on cooking and eating whatever you want."
To be precise, they also added a lot of things, such as rice, flour, oil and so on.
Chang Li was so moved that she didn't know what to say. Jiang Yan was surrounded by such warm people. No wonder she lived so happily and was willing to help others.
"Thank you, auntie."
"Sister-in-law." Bao Tielu hurried home after hearing the news. "Sister-in-law, how is my brother?"
Bao Tielu has been staying at home these days, unable to eat or sleep well, and is worried about Bao Shengli every day.
The relationship between the brothers is really good. He couldn't sleep at night and kept thinking about his childhood. He still remembered that Bao Shengli bought him a new schoolbag after receiving his first salary...
Whenever he thought about the past, he wanted to cry and would hide under his covers and cry at night.
The head of the group comforted him, saying that Bao Shengli would be fine and might be discharged from the hospital in a few days.
He kept waiting and waiting, and finally the person came back.
"It's okay, don't worry! Jiang Yan performed surgery on your brother, and the person who hurt him was caught, and his life was saved." Chang Li's eyes were a little red,
Chang Li's words finally gave Bao Tielu some peace of mind, "Sister-in-law, when can I go see my brother?"
"If you want to go, go tomorrow. There are no cars to the county today."
"Okay!" Bao Tielu jumped up three feet high, "Sister-in-law, I'm going to work."
He has to work in the fish pond! Earn work points.
However, before leaving, he seemed to remember something, turned around and bowed solemnly to Jiang Yan, "Thank you."
He was probably embarrassed, so he stood up and ran away. He was one year older than Jiang Yan, but he was like an elementary school student in front of Jiang Yan.
"What's wrong?" Chang Li smiled. "Okay, let's go back to the backyard. I'll go boil some water."
Okay!
Jiang Yan didn't see the old couple, and couldn't help asking, "Mom, where are my grandparents?"
"Your brother accompanied me to look at the herbs. He said that they had planted those herbs a few years ago. These past few days, they have been running up the mountain every day. Fortunately, they were all planted in the forest, so they didn't have to climb far. Otherwise, I'd be worried that they wouldn't be able to handle it."
Jiang Yan put the two children on the ground, squatted down and talked to them, "Just play here obediently, mom will go change clothes and come back to accompany you."
"Okay." Chao Chao responded happily, while Mu Mu just nodded without saying anything.
"Mom, we're going over first."
"Okay, go ahead!"
Ning Yu carried the things into the house and asked Si Lu to look after the child in the yard.
Jiang Yan followed Chang Li as they walked towards the backyard, talking and laughing, and made a face at Si Lu before leaving.
The man's eyes showed a hint of smile, and he squatted down to watch the ants crawling around with his daughter and son.
Children seem to have no resistance to this kind of thing and have a lot of fun playing it.
There are so many fun and interesting things in the countryside. The two children became a little darker, but they also gained something. Maybe it was because there were so many people around, Chaochao spoke more clearly, and Mumu, who had always been quiet, spoke a lot more frequently.
"Dad, worm."
Chao Chao picked up a green insect that came from nowhere and brought it to Si Lu.
There were a lot of insects in the vegetable garden. Ning Yu held the children in her arms to look at them. Chaochao was not afraid at all and even dared to catch them with his hands.
Fortunately, it was a green caterpillar and it doesn’t bite. If it was that kind of caterpillar, my hands would have been swollen.
"Be careful you get bitten."
Chao Chao smiled, revealing his white little teeth, and the next second, he stuffed the insect into his mouth.
Si Lu was so scared that he broke out in a sweat and grabbed Chao Chao's hand. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise the bug would have gone into his stomach.
"Um?"
Chao Chao blinked her big eyes, not quite understanding why her father didn't let her eat it. "Eat, worms."
“You can’t eat this.”
Can’t eat?
Chaochao's big eyes were full of confusion. Someone had clearly said before that insects can be eaten and are delicious.
"Can't eat?"
Chao Chao didn't give up and asked again.
"You can't eat it." Si Lu knew that Chao Chao was cunning, but who said anything about eating insects?
He carried the two children back to the house, fetched water for them to wash their hands and faces, and casually told them what happened before, "Chao Chao caught a green worm and stuffed it directly into his mouth."
"ah?"
Li Yuejin and Ning Yu were both shocked. "Have you eaten?"
"No, I was quick and took it down." Si Lu was a little helpless and patted Chao Chao's little hand, "You can't eat insects, remember?"
Chao Chao thought for a moment, pointed at Ning Yu, and said, "Grandma, eat it."
This time, Si Lu couldn't handle it.
Ning Yu and Li Yuejin remembered at the same time, "Oh, maybe Chao Chao heard us talking that day."
"Of course it is. This little guy has too many ideas."
Ning Yu told Si Lu about what happened that day. The two little ones were sleeping, and she chatted with Li Yuejin, talking about their past life and the days when they were hungry.
"We just said something casually, saying that life was hard back then, and we ate whatever we could find, grass roots, tree bark, and even insects were meat."
