After breakfast in the morning, Wen Yao and Jiang Yu each carried a wooden basin and a small basket and walked out of the family compound.
When passing by Fan Ting's house, she grabbed Wen Yao.
"Yaoyao, where are you going?"
She was very afraid that Wen Yao would be corrupted by Jiang Yu and become the same person as Jiang Yu.
"Fanting, let's go pick water chestnuts. Do you want to come with us?" Wen Yao asked.
"Picking water chestnuts? There's no pond nearby, where are you going to pick them?" Fan Ting asked puzzledly.
"I know a place, so I'll take Yaoyao there," Jiang Yu said.
It would have been better if Jiang Yu hadn't said this, but as soon as he did, Fan Ting immediately became alert.
She pulled Wen Yao aside and whispered, "Yao Yao, how can you go with her? What if she harms you?"
Wen Yao said helplessly, "Fanting, Yanyan is not as bad as others think. Besides, we are friends. She won't hurt me."
Fan Ting was still worried, "You can't tell a person's heart from his face. You are still too young. You can't trust others so easily!"
"Fanting, no, don't worry. If you are worried, come with us," Wen Yao suggested.
"I, I won't go. I'm scared." Fan Ting shook her head and refused.
Jiang Yu urged impatiently, "Okay, okay, let's go." Then he took Wen Yao away.
She heard what Fan Ting said, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't angry.
Watching their receding backs, Fan Ting always had a bad feeling in her heart, so she decided to go with them.
She thought that if she followed him, Jiang Zhen would not dare to mess around.
"Hey, Yaoyao, wait a minute, I'll go with you guys."
As she spoke, she rushed into the house, picked up a large wooden basin and a basket, and left the house.
Fan Ting quickly caught up with them, and the three of them walked towards the pond together.
Along the way, Fan Ting remained vigilant, fearing that Jiang Yu might do something bad.
Half an hour later, the three found the pond full of water chestnut leaves.
Jiang Yu excitedly put the basin into the water, and then sat on it carefully.
The wooden tub immediately turned into a small boat, floating on the water.
"Yaoyao, come down quickly, it's okay, look"
They had seen the method of using a wooden basin as a boat in a period movie a long time ago. They thought it was very strange at the time and had never had a chance to practice it. Unexpectedly, they would use it directly one day.
Wen Yao put the basin into the water and was about to step on it, but was stopped by Fan Ting.
"Hey, you, you're really going down there?"
"It's okay. Look, Jiang Jie is sitting very steadily," Wen Yao said, pointing at Jiang Jie.
Fan Ting was still a little worried and held Wen Yao's arm tightly.
"Oh, I heard there's dirty stuff in this pond, you'd better not go in there."
"It's okay, they are just trying to trick kids, come down quickly," Ginger Juice said loudly while paddling on the water.
"Fanting, if you hadn't come ashore now, I wouldn't have had any accidents, you could still find someone to help," Wen Yao said.
Seeing that Fan Ting was unmoved by her persuasion, she had no choice but to let her do as she pleased.
Wen Yao carefully stepped into the wooden tub, sat down, and then paddled the water with her hands.
The wooden tubs they were sitting in were large tubs used for bathing at home, which could easily fit one person in with plenty of space to spare.
Jiang Yu and Wen Yao did not dare to paddle into the pond, so they stayed close to the shore.
Fan Ting stood aside and watched nervously.
She stood on the bank and watched the two people picking water chestnuts, feeling a little anxious, worried that Wen Yao would fall into the water. But when she saw the two people talking and laughing from behind, she felt a little itchy in her heart and wanted to join in.
After hesitating for a long time, she placed the basin on the water and tried to step one foot into the basin. However, before she could stand firmly, she fell into the water.
"Oh, help!"
Fan Ting screamed loudly in the water and jumped up.
She was probably too nervous and scared, so she didn't even notice that the water on the shore was only up to her thighs.
Jiang Yu was faster than Wen Yao. She paddled the wooden basin to the shore and grabbed Fan Ting's arm.
Fan Ting realized that a water ghost had caught her, and she screamed and knocked Jiang Yu over and into the water.
"Sister-in-law, the water is very shallow, it's okay," Wen Yao comforted loudly.
Fan Ting closed her eyes and shouted loudly, and didn't hear Wen Yao's words at all.
Jiang Yu climbed out of the water and dragged Fan Ting ashore.
"Okay, we're on shore, you're safe."
At this time, Fan Ting finally came to her senses and found herself standing on the shore safely. She looked at Jiang Yu, who was soaking wet with water dripping from the ends of her hair, and her heart was filled with gratitude and guilt.
"I'm sorry, I was so scared just now... Thank you for saving me." Fan Ting said with a trembling voice.
Jiang Yu smiled and shook his head to indicate that it was okay.
He also asked Fan Ting if she was okay.
Fan Ting said she was fine, just her clothes were wet.
"Your clothes are all wet, aren't you afraid of falling into the water?" Jiang Yu joked with a smile.
"Okay, let's continue picking water chestnuts." Wen Yao suggested.
So Jiang Yu sat on the wooden basin again, and Fan Tingxiao carefully sat in the basin and moved towards Wen Yao.
This time, although Fan Ting was still a little scared, she tried to stay calm and enjoyed the fun of picking water chestnuts.
At noon, the three of them returned home with a basket full of water chestnuts.
Along the way, they laughed and shared their happiness with each other.
Fan Ting looked at Jiang Yu with a bright smile, thinking that she had indeed changed. She then realized that she might have been biased against Jiang Yu.
When Fan Ting reached the door of her house, she looked at Jiang Yu and hesitated to speak.
Wen Yao seemed to see what she was thinking and patted her on the shoulder, "Fanting, it's okay, Yanyan won't worry about it. She is no longer the Jiang Yan before, and I believe you are no longer the Fanting before."
"Yes, it's okay. Actually, it's not my fault. I did something too out of line before. But it's okay. I won't do it again in the future." Jiang Yu smiled and shook his head, saying a little embarrassedly.
"Jiang Yu, please don't be angry. Let's visit each other often in the future," Fan Ting said with a smile.
"Well, of course. Sister Fanting, you should go back quickly. Your clothes are wet and you need to change them quickly." Jiang Yu nodded in agreement and urged Fanting to go back to the house to change clothes.
Jiang Yu and Wen Yaoxiao went back home and boiled water to wash their hair and take a bath.
Afterwards, Wen Yao rinsed the picked water chestnuts with clean water and boiled them over fire.
Jiang Yu's movements were the same as Wen Yao's.
The water chestnuts were not too old at this point, so they were cooked for nearly half an hour until they were fully cooked.
Wen Yao kept some for herself as a snack, and then followed Jiang Yu to deliver the water chestnuts to other families in the family compound.
Mrs. Jiang gave the food to some families she had offended in the past, and apologized to the children who had come to eat it in the past.
"Hey, isn't this Jiang Yu? Why are you bringing food? The sun is rising from the west."
When Jiang Yu arrived at Deputy Battalion Commander Zhou's house, facing her advances, Tian Zhaodi said in a sinister tone, "Could it be that he was poisoned?"
Jiang Yu was reluctant to come to Deputy Battalion Commander Zhou's home, but the original owner had bullied Deputy Battalion Commander Zhou's wife before, so she had no choice but to come and apologize.
