Chapter 68 Daily Life
He didn't even need Xu Zhishu to call him, he happily ran to the well to wash his hands.
Today Jiang Yang washed his little hands three or four times. He also put them in front of his eyes and looked at them carefully, smelled them, and washed them again with the soap his aunt bought for him. Only then was he satisfied.
While Jiang Yang was washing his hands, Xu Zhishu and Jiang Yingying brought all the dishes into the main room, where a small table was set up.
As soon as Jiang Yang entered the door, he saw the meat on the table!
He quickly closed the wooden door behind him, met the smiling eyes of Jiang Yingying and Xu Zhishu, and Jiang Yang also smiled.
Then he sat down in his seat.
“It smells so good!”
"That was really delicious. In order to make this table of dishes, your aunt's back was soaked in the heat in the kitchen. You have to be nicer to your aunt in the future."
"sister in law……"
Jiang Yingying thought it was not that exaggerated, so she shouldn't exaggerate the facts in front of the children.
Xu Zhishu gave her a look that said "mind your own business", while Jiang Yang, the kid, looked at Jiang Yingying with red eyes.
Jiang Yingying quickly picked up a piece of rabbit meat for him, "Eat quickly, don't listen to what your mother says."
This time, not only the corners of Jiang Yang's eyes, but his entire eye sockets turned red.
He sniffed and said, "Aunt, you are so kind to me. I will definitely be filial to you in the future!"
Xu Zhishu had already put a piece of meat into Jiang Yingying's bowl and put another piece into his own mouth.
Hearing this, she nodded and said vaguely: "It's good that you know."
Xu Zhishu didn’t have the heart to say more. It smelled so good. He knew Yingying was good at cooking, but the rabbit meat this time was even better.
She was almost dizzy from the fragrance!
Xu Zhishu ate one piece, and then used chopsticks to put a few more pieces into the bowl of Jiang Yingying, who was smiling as she watched Jiang Yang eat the meat.
"Eat it quickly, it's delicious. How did you make it?"
Jiang Yang followed suit and also picked up a piece of rabbit meat for Jiang Yingying.
"That's enough, that's enough, you guys eat yourselves, I'll get some for myself later." After saying that, she looked at the two of them again. "If it tastes good, eat more. There's more to come in the evening."
The rabbit was fat, and there was a lot of meat after skinning it. And there were only three of them at home.
There will be enough food not only for today, but also for tomorrow.
But if Jiang Chao and He Yan were alone there, I'm afraid they could finish the rabbit in one meal.
"It's so delicious. I wonder if my dad has eaten yet?"
As soon as Jiang Yang said this, Xu Zhishu paused holding the chopsticks, and the smile on Jiang Yingying's face also fell.
No wonder they were like this, but they both could vaguely guess the inside story of their mission this time.
Most likely they were going to deal with a group of traitorous and shameless people. Dealing with such people was much more dangerous than going to the battlefield.
During these days, both Jiang Yingying and Xu Zhishu were actually thinking about her.
Jiang Yang pursed his lips and realized that he seemed to have said something wrong.
Xu Zhishu snorted and said, "Your father won't suffer outside, and if he's at home, I'm afraid he will eat half of this rabbit."
Jiang Yingying also pulled her lips and said in a joking tone: "Yeah, luckily my brother is not here, so we secretly ate alone at home. We can still eat this rabbit for two days."
When Jiang Yang heard that it could last for two days, his anxiety immediately disappeared.
He smiled and asked, "Aunt, what are we going to eat tonight?"
Xu Zhishu looked at him and picked up a piece of meat for him.
"You haven't even finished lunch yet, and you're already thinking about dinner?"
Jiang Yang chuckled twice. Jiang Yingying saw that he became more lively and the atmosphere in the room became better, not as stagnant as before.
She also picked up a piece of rabbit meat for Jiang Yang and said mysteriously, "Eat the rabbit cold."
"Eat the rabbit cold?"
"Eat the rabbit cold?"
Seeing the same puzzled expressions on Xu Zhishu and Jiang Yang, one older and one younger, Jiang Yingying also became puzzled.
"Sister-in-law, have you never eaten cold rabbit?"
"I haven't eaten it," Jiang Yang answered quickly, "Aunt, what is cold-cooked rabbit? Can it be better than braised rabbit meat?"
"Of course!" Jiang Yingying gave enough expectations, "I guarantee it will be so delicious that you will want to eat more after you finish it."
In his mind, the braised rabbit he had eaten today was far superior to other dishes and ranked second only to the braised pork.
Rabbit tastes even better when eaten cold! How to eat it cold?
Jiang Yang didn't understand, but he swallowed subconsciously.
"Look good!" Xu Zhishu shouted in a low voice, and his chopsticks moved uncontrollably towards the braised rabbit meat.
How delicious would it be to eat rabbit cold?
Anticipating dinner, Xu Zhishu and Jiang Yang were full of energy after lunch.
Normally, Jiang Yang was the only one washing the dishes. Today, Xu Zhishu took over the job of washing the dishes, and little Jiang Yang could only wipe the table.
He rubbed and muttered.
"Why is mom so diligent today?"
Jiang Yingying was watching in the room, trying not to laugh. She wanted to help with some work, but the mother and son both agreed that she had worked hard cooking, so they didn't allow her to move, and they took care of the rest of the work.
So Jiang Yingying went back to her room and took out her latest tool to relieve boredom: sewing shoe soles.
Humph, she has learned a lot from Aunt Xiujuan in the canteen kitchen recently, sewing shoe soles and stitching patterns.
It is no exaggeration to say that Jiang Yingying can now make a pair of cloth shoes for herself.
As long as she has the pattern of other people's shoes, she can make them for them.
At this moment, she was planning to make a pair of shoes for Jiang Yang, sewing a tiger shape on the toe.
Jiang Yingying thought: Jiang Yang will definitely be so excited that he will scream.
Thinking of Jiang Yang's look when he received the shoes, and watching him wiping the table while muttering, he wiped the table back and forth more than five times.
Jiang Yingying couldn't stop smiling. When Xu Zhishu came in with washed grapes, he saw her smiling face.
She moved a chair and sat next to Jiang Yingying.
"Yingying, what are you laughing at?"
"I laughed at the table, which was almost wiped bald by Yangyang, and the little guy was still wiping the table while mumbling something to himself."
Xu Zhishu said, "Let him do whatever he wants. The more he wipes the table, the cleaner it will get, and his hands will get sore. When his hands get sore, he will stop wiping."
"Aunt, Mom, I can hear you!" Jiang Yang said. He looked at the table and decided to stop wiping it. It was clean already.
The little guy trotted back to the kitchen. "Don't run. You just finished eating. Your stomach will feel heavy later." Jiang Yingying shouted. He must have heard it and slowed down his pace.
Xu Zhishu glanced at the sole in Jiang Yingying's hand and asked, "Who is it for?"
Jiang Yingying compared the size and said, "I made it for Yangyang, but sister-in-law, don't tell him."
"He's not stupid."
But when Jiang Yang finished washing his hands and ran back happily, Xu Zhishu thought to himself: Could it be that, actually, there is a little bit?
Jiang Yang also moved a chair and sat next to Jiang Yingying. He took a look and asked, "Aunt, who are these shoes made for?"
Jiang Yingying said: "I made it for a little kid."
"Oh," Jiang Yang nodded obediently without asking which little friend it was. He said with envy: "I'm so envious. I also want to have a pair of cloth shoes made by my aunt."
"But making shoes is too hard, and I don't want my aunt to suffer so much."
Jiang Yingying asked: "If it's Yangyang, what kind of shoes do you want? This pair of shoes is made for the grandson of an aunt in the cafeteria. Auntie doesn't know what your children like now."
"Yangyang, can you talk to your aunt? The shoes made this way will definitely look better."
Jiang Yang patted his chest. "Of course you can," he said. "If there is a pair of shoes with a big tiger embroidered on it, it will definitely be the most amazing."
"Is that so? Anything else?"
"And..." Jiang Yang racked his brains to give his aunt some ideas, all of which he liked, and he became more and more excited as he spoke.
Xu Zhishu silently fed Jiang Yingying a grape, and silence spread in her heart.
Perhaps, her son is a little stupid, or lacks brains?
This person is really lacking in vision!
Xu Zhishu couldn't bear to see that silly boy so happy. She silently fed Jiang Yingying a grape and gave herself another one to calm herself down.
After Jiang Yang finished talking to his heart's content, he looked at the bowl in Xu Zhishu's hand and saw that there were only two grapes left.
He was silent, staring at Xu Zhishu with his big eyes motionlessly.
Xu Zhishu silently withdrew his hand and handed the bowl to Jiang Yang. "Wash the bowl after eating the grapes."
Jiang Yang ate the grapes angrily, and then went to wash the dishes angrily.
That little figure looks like he’s about to catch fire.
Jiang Yingying said: "Sister-in-law, is this okay?"
"Yingying, you have to start playing with children as early as possible. There are only two years left. You won't have the chance in the future."
Xu Zhishu said: "Besides, I am training him. When he goes out and encounters bad people, he will be more adaptable and have better coping skills."
Jiang Yingying had never raised a child, so she didn't know whether what she said was true or not, but she always felt that it was a fallacy.
Soon, Jiang Yang came back, still holding a bowl in his hand, the same bowl, and there were still grapes in the bowl.
Xu Zhishu said, "Is it for mom to wash?"
Jiang Yang twisted his butt and said, "Aunt, eat some grapes."
"Oh, oh, I'm so pitiful." Xu Zhishu began to cry out. Jiang Yang pursed his lips, picked in the bowl with his little hands, and handed two grapes to Xu Zhishu.
"Here, Mom, eat some grapes."
There were two grapes. I don’t know how Jiang Yang picked them. They were small and shrunken, and they didn’t look tasty at all.
Xu Zhishu raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
Seeing that she didn't take it, he withdrew his hand. Under her gaze, one, two... five grapes went into his stomach.
Xu Zhishu was still staring at him. Jiang Yang's lips trembled, and he took the initiative to pick a big and full one to feed her.
This time, Xu Zhishu ate it.
Jiang Yang picked out another one and fed it to Jiang Yingying, and she ate it too.
In this way, Jiang Yang fed Xu Zhishu, then fed Jiang Yingying, and then fed himself.
While eating, Xu Zhishu asked, "Son, are the grapes sweet?"
"sweet!"
Jiang Yang said, "It tasted bitter when I ate it by myself before. Mom, good things should be shared. We are a family, so the grapes we eat together will be sweet."
He looked at her and asked, "Mom, were the grapes you and aunt just ate also bitter?"
"Next time you eat grapes, call me along, and you won't get bitter grapes."
"It will be like now, eating sweet grapes."
Xu Zhishu tapped his forehead and said, "Okay, Mom was wrong. I should have called our Yangyang earlier to eat sweet grapes with us."
"It's a good thing to recognize your mistakes, Mom. I forgive you." Jiang Yang said generously. "Auntie, eat grapes."
"Thank you Yangyang."
The three of them stayed in the main room for a while, and then, unable to resist the sleepiness, they went back to their rooms to take a nap.
In the middle of the afternoon, there was slowly some movement in the Jiang family's yard.
The first person to wake up was Jiang Yang. When he woke up, Xu Zhishu and Jiang Yingying were still asleep.
Jiang Yang sat in the yard for a while, and had no choice but to go back to the house to do his homework and take tests.
The second person to wake up was Xu Zhishu. After she got up, she washed her face and turned around. Seeing that Jiang Yingying hadn't washed yet, she went back to her room to get a notebook and a pen, and sat next to Jiang Yang to prepare her lesson plan for next week.
When Jiang Yingying woke up, it was already past four in the afternoon. She shook her groggy head.
She just can't take a nap, and once she does, she can't get up.
Jiang Yingying left the room. Xu Zhishu and Jiang Yang heard the noise and left the room together.
"Yingying, are you awake?"
"Aunt, you're awake!"
Jiang Yingying looked at their sparkling expressions and said with a smile, "Well, you're awake."
The three of them huddled together and chatted for a while, and dinner was naturally the cold rabbit that everyone was looking forward to.
Jiang Yang and Xu Zhishu, who were eating it for the first time, opened their eyes wide. They ate the whole meal without even raising their heads.
“It’s delicious.”
“Ahhh, it’s delicious.”
Jiang Yingying saw that they were enjoying their meal, and she was also particularly satisfied. Well, this cold rabbit does taste like what I remember, and she cooked it pretty well.
This fat rabbit really aroused Jiang Yang's greed.
Every day he looked forward to taking another break, going for a walk in the mountains, and seeing if he could catch another rabbit.
However, before the holiday that Jiang Yang was looking forward to arrived, someone came back first.
Jiang Chao returned to the staff quarters in the middle of the night. When he arrived, Jiang Yingying and Xu Zhishu were having a midnight snack in the kitchen.
The aunt and sister-in-law were eating halfway when they heard a noise outside. Their first reaction was that Jiang Yang had woken up, and their second reaction was that there was a thief in the house.
Both of them put down their chopsticks at the same time, one picked up a kitchen knife, and the other picked up a thicker-looking firewood from the pile of firewood in the corner.
Jiang Yingying and Xu Zhishu held their breath and slowly moved towards the kitchen door.
For fear of waking Jiang Yang up, they would close the door when entering the kitchen at night, so that the noise would be blocked and the smell would not escape.
At this time, hearing the noise, the man actually came towards the kitchen.
The two of them stared at the door and it opened.
The aunt and sister-in-law moved at the same time, but were blocked by the person who came. They were all dumbfounded when they looked at the person.
Jiang Chao asked: "You two, are you welcoming me?"
"Brother, it's you."
"Why didn't you tell me you were back?"
Jiang Chao reached out and took the kitchen knife and firewood from them. "It's too late. I didn't want to wake you up, so I climbed over the wall and came in." He said, "I saw the light in the kitchen, so I came over to take a look."
Jiang Chao glanced at the two of them and said, "I thought you two forgot to turn off the lights. Now it seems that... huh."
