Chapter 118 The smell of blood, injured again (1)
On the second day of the rain, the rain got heavier and heavier and did not stop at all.
Lei Xiaobing did not show up that day. He was probably locked up at home by Yang Suzhen.
When Jiang Tang got up early in the morning and saw the heavy rain, he simply didn't send Chaochao and Yueyue to the Yuhong class and stayed at home. Otherwise, if he went out, he would definitely be soaked.
When Chaochao and Yueyue heard that they didn’t have to go to the Yuhong class, they became even happier and were in high spirits.
Jiang Tang asked them while eating breakfast, "Do you dislike going to school so soon? Are you so happy that you don't have to go to school?"
Yueyue just smiled happily, unable to explain her mood.
Chao Chao thought for a moment and replied, "It's fun to go to school and play with the other kids, and it's fun to learn from Teacher Xia. But... Mom, we're happier with you."
Yueyue nodded with a small spoon in her mouth, "Yes, brother is right, I am happier with mom."
Jiang Tang's heart softened after hearing these words.
She leaned over, approached Chaochao and Yueyue's faces, and kissed them hard.
"Baby, you are my sweethearts! I love you so much!"
Chaochao and Yueyue's fair faces were covered with shiny saliva, and they were laughing happily together.
Therefore, in the continuous heavy rain, the mother and her two sons spent a happy day happily. During this time, Zhao Xiumei and Wang Chunlan came to knock on the door once. Because Fu Sinian was not at home, they were afraid that something might happen to Jiang Tang, an orphan and a widow, at home, so they came to check on him and brought some fresh vegetables.
Liang Kailai was the third person to knock on the door.
Jiang Tang took the dry towel from Chao Chao and dried his hair. Chao Chao was picking beans with a basket. Yue Yue stared at Jiang Tang's long hair.
Yueyue said enviously, "Mom's hair is so long...it looks so beautiful."
Jiang Tang raised his hand and poked Yueyue's little face, "Our Yueyue is the most beautiful, even prettier than her mother."
Yueyue happily showed her dimples.
After Jiang Tang put down the towel, she took the beans from Chao Chao's hand and said, "Chao Chao, you've worked hard. Go wash your hands. Mom will do it next."
Their dinner is - potatoes stewed with beans.
The potatoes were sent by Zhao Xiumei, the beans were sent by Wang Chunlan, and together with the fresh pork ribs taken out from the space, these three things were stewed in the same pot for a sufficient amount of time. The ingredients became soft in the iron pot, especially the potatoes, which melted with a light touch. It was so delicious.
Jiang Tang spent a lot of time and effort to make this dish and was always guarding in front of the stove.
Soak some sweet potato flour in a basin of water on the side. Add the sweet potato flour before serving the stewed potatoes and green beans.
As the sweet potato starch is cooked, it will eventually absorb the soup at the bottom of the pot, and the essence of the broth is in the sweet potato starch.
After just a few minutes, the sweet potato starch turns transparent and is ready to be served. [Image]
"Chao Chao, Yue Yue, it's time to eat!"
Following Jiang Tang's call, Chaochao and Yueyue put down the jigsaw puzzles they were playing with, went to the washbasin to wash their hands, and then climbed onto the stool and sat down.
Yueyue said sweetly, "Mom, you worked hard cooking."
Chao Chao glanced outside the door and asked, "Mom, can't Dad come back yet?"
"Dad, he's gone to do something very important. He's a soldier, and he has to protect not only us but also many more people. When Dad is done, he'll be back. Because our home is here, Dad must know that Chaochao and Yueyue are missing him."
Yueyue stared at the stewed pork ribs with beans and potatoes and replied, "Yueyue misses Daddy too."
Jiang Tang complained in his heart: Your father is not in the bowl again.
"Let's eat!"
“Let’s get started!”
Although there was only one dish tonight, Jiang Tang and his two children were extremely satisfied with the meal. Not only were the potatoes soft and tasty, but the spareribs fell off the bone easily. There was also sweet potato flour, which was so slippery that when they put it in their mouths, they wanted to eat their tongues along with it.
It’s so delicious!
Chaochao and Yueyue both looked like little kittens after eating so much, with traces of sweet potato powder all over their faces.
After nightfall, the rain still did not stop.
Jiang Tang was in the room with her two children. The three of them were covered with a blanket. A radio was playing soft music, which mixed with the sound of drizzling rain outside the room.
She held a storybook in her hand and told it to Chaochao and Yueyue page by page.
When everything was warm and peaceful, suddenly - a white light flashed outside the window.
Jiang Tang's heart tightened. Liang Kai was right. It was thunder!
Rumble!
Rumble!
The thunder came a step late.
Jiang Tang was too late to cover Chao Chao and Yue Yue's ears. The two children trembled slightly in her arms and hugged Jiang Tang tightly.
"Don't be afraid. Chaochao, Yueyue, don't be afraid. Mom is here."
"It's just thunder. We're not afraid."
Just as he said he was not afraid, there was another louder thunder. This time Jiang Tang was prepared and quickly covered the ears of the two children. However, something unexpected still happened.
Sizzle, sizzle—
The light in the room made a flickering sound of tungsten filament, and then the room became pitch black.
Just as Liang Kai said, there really was a power outage.
"Mother--"
Yueyue was afraid of the dark and huddled closer to Jiang Tang's arms.
"Don't be afraid, Yueyue. Mom is ready. Thanks to your Uncle Liang for coming over and reminding me..."
As he spoke, Jiang Tang groped in the dark, felt around the pillow, and took out the flashlight.
As the flashlight was turned on, the dark room suddenly became bright.
Chaochao and Yueyue, who were buried in Jiang Tang's arms, finally had the courage to raise their heads and look at what Jiang Tang was holding after feeling the light.
"This is a flashlight. It glows. With a flashlight, we don't have to worry about power outages. Chaochao, Yueyue, look, what animal is this?"
Jiang Tang held the flashlight in one hand and made a gesture with his fingers that looked a bit like an orchid finger with the other hand, placing it in front of the flashlight.
The flashlight shone on the wall, and an enlarged finger pattern appeared.
Chaochao and Yueyue were drawn to this and answered immediately.
Chao Chao said, "It's a rabbit!"
Yueyue tilted her head to take a closer look. "Those are ears, and that's a mouth... Mom, my brother is right, it's a little rabbit!"
Jiang Tang praised, "You're right, it's a little rabbit."
She put the flashlight in Chaochao's hand and asked Chaochao to hold it, then put her hands together and changed a pattern.
At the same time, boom!
The thunder continued in the dark night, but Chao Chao and Yue Yue were distracted and no longer frightened by the thunder. They looked at another new pattern.
"It's a puppy! Woof woof puppy!"
"Yes, puppy. And this..." Jiang Tang crossed his palms, and his two palms rose and fell gently like wings. "Doesn't this look like a bird? A bird is flying."
As the hands sway left and right, the light and shadow pattern also sways left and right, as if the bird is really spreading its wings and flying high.
