261 Big Abnormality
A black Santana drove into the yard amidst the sunset glow.
As soon as Gao Qinghe got out of the car, he smelled a particularly tempting aroma coming from the kitchen.
Jiang Baohai was also surprised: "Mom is cooking so early today?"
Not only did he prepare dinner early, he was also humming a song. He was so engrossed in the meal that he didn't even notice someone coming into the yard.
The couple looked at each other. Is today a special day?
Jiang Baohai shook his head. There were no festivals in June. It was neither anyone’s birthday nor anyone’s memorial day.
The couple tiptoed towards the kitchen and were surprised to find that there was a complete range of chicken, duck, fish and meat on the table.
This is not the end. There was a noise outside the courtyard gate. Jiang Yu actually came back.
"What day is today?" Gao Qinghe asked Jiang Baohai.
Jiang Baohai replied: "Saturday?"
There was an uncertain tone in his voice, because this week was a short week and the school only had one day off, so Jiang Yu would not go home.
"Brother and sister-in-law!" Jiang Yu was very surprised to see his brother and sister-in-law as soon as he entered the door.
Usually my brother hasn’t come back at this time.
As he greeted her, Jiang Yu sniffed and also smelled the alluring aroma.
Jiang's mother, who was humming a song, heard Jiang Yu's voice, turned around and saw three people standing outside the kitchen door.
Thinking that the children had seen me humming the song just now, my face turned red and I felt a little embarrassed.
But the happiness in his eyes could not be concealed.
"Mom, what day is it today? There are fish and chicken here. Are we going to have a full banquet today?" Gao Qinghe asked.
Jiang Baohai and his sister also looked curious.
Jiang's mother coughed twice and whispered, "Nothing, just got paid this month's salary from the factory, and I happened to see someone selling local chickens, ducks, and fish from the countryside, so I bought some on the way."
He glanced at Gao Qinghe's belly and said, "Give some to my grandson too."
After saying that, he smiled awkwardly, left Jiang Yu behind, and waved his hand to tell Gao Qinghe and Jiang Baohai not to stay here and do whatever they wanted.
Gao Qinghe joked, "It seems you earned quite a bit last month."
Jiang's mother's expression was unnatural for a moment, but because of the heavy smoke from the frying pan, no one noticed.
Jiang Yu shrugged helplessly, "We agreed that there would be something delicious for me to eat at home today, but I took a leave of absence from evening study just to come back and help you."
Jiang's mother glanced at her daughter with amusement and asked her to help get the big bowl to serve the dishes quickly and to talk less.
The stir-fried blood-sauce duck came out of the pot, and the aroma filled the air. Jiang Yu said nothing immediately.
There is a table full of dishes, each one harder than the other.
Before dinner started, Jiang's mother asked tentatively, "How about asking your eldest uncle and third uncle to come over and eat with us?"
Jiang Yu was the first to shake his head: "No, no one, I can finish it!"
There are meat dishes in the school cafeteria, but they are nothing compared to the good food at home.
Jiang Yu was so greedy that he felt he could eat all the food on the table in front of him.
Seeing that Gao Qinghe and Jiang Baohai did not agree with her idea, Jiang's mother no longer mentioned inviting people to dinner at home.
The family of four picked up their chopsticks and started eating.
Gao Qinghe has been controlling his weight and hasn't had a big meal for a long time.
After dinner, I rubbed my bloated stomach and sat at the door of the hall, enjoying the evening breeze and watching the sunset.
While there was still light, Jiang Baohai connected the water pipe from the bathroom and washed the car in the yard.
Jiang's mother and Jiang Yu were cleaning up the mess when Jiang's mother suddenly asked, "Yu, how are your studies going lately? Are you under a lot of pressure? Do you understand everything the teacher is teaching?"
Jiang Yu's eyes widened and he stared at his mother for three seconds to make sure he had heard correctly.
Her mother actually cares about her studies?
Gao Qinghe and his wife looked at each other in surprise.
Abnormal!
This is a huge anomaly!
Jiang's mother suddenly met three pairs of inquiring gazes, waved her hands hurriedly, and stopped asking about her daughter's studies. She strode to the door and called the dog home for dinner.
"Xiao Hei! Xiao Hei, come home!"
Since the arrival of spring, Xiao Hei has begun his free and unrestrained life.
I only go home every few days, and sometimes I don’t see the dog for ten days.
Then suddenly one day it brought back some gifts that it thought were very good, such as snakes, frogs, voles, etc., and threw them next to the sofa where Gao Qinghe often lay.
If the system hadn't reminded him in advance every time, Gao Qinghe would have been scared to death.
Fortunately, after being scolded, he finally stopped bringing gifts.
The weather has been hot recently, and Xiao Hei has been hanging around near his home. Before he knew it, a group of stray dogs have gathered around him.
Every day he takes this group of stray dogs to eat from the houses here and steal bones from the houses there.
The mountain king lives a leisurely life.
But it is also smart. It never steals things from the house and never lets stray dogs approach the yard.
But every night, Gao Qinghe's yard was filled with the sound of dogs barking.
There are stray dogs gathering in the village, barking from time to time at night, making it difficult for people to sleep.
Seeing that the leader was the big vicious dog from Gao Qinghe's family, the villagers came to her house several times to complain and asked her to take care of it.
Gao Qinghe was ashamed. She wanted to take care of it, but she couldn't even find the little black dog. How could she do that?
However, I still have to pretend to be embarrassed and say that I will discipline the dog strictly next time I meet one.
The villagers got the results they wanted and left.
I saw Jiang's mother holding some delicious leftovers and trying to lure Xiao Hei, who had run away from home, back home.
The whole family looked outside the yard and stopped studying Jiang's mother's abnormal behavior today.
However, Gao Qinghe took note of it and planned to observe secretly.
Jiang Yu is the person who treats Xiao Hei the best in the family. When he heard her voice, Xiao Hei, who had no attachment to his home at all, actually came back.
Everyone saw a black shadow rushing into the gate like a cheetah, with its tongue hanging long "hasha hasha" and circling around everyone in the yard.
After they had walked around enough, no one went anywhere and just squatted at Gao Qinghe's feet.
Jiang's mother laughed and scolded, "This little black dog still recognizes his master." Putting down a bowl of leftover rice, little black dog immediately started to eat it with relish.
After eating, he still wanted to run away. Gao Qinghe asked him to close the gate of the yard, so he could only crawl into the doghouse and lie there quietly, whimpering in grievance.
Jiang Yu got a sandbag from somewhere, coaxed the dog out, and started playing a game of throwing and picking up in the yard.
The whole yard was filled with the cheerful laughter of young girls and the excited barking of dogs.
Gao Qinghe leaned on Jiang Baohai's shoulder, watching the last ray of afterglow in the sky being swallowed by the night, hoping that the days could continue to be so plain and happy.
The sun sets and rises, and it is a new day.
Jiang Yu returned to school.
Jiang Baohai rushed to the mine to arrange his work so that he could have enough time to take care of his wife and her mother when she was due.
There are only mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left at home.
The weather was hot and Gao Qinghe just walked around in the yard and stayed at home almost the whole day.
Jiang's mother looked the same as usual. She got up early to do housework, sweep the floor, feed the chickens, and go to the vegetable garden to take care of the seedlings.
When she came back, she prepared breakfast and lunch for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and then went back to her room to make buttons.
Just eat something casually for lunch, don’t eat if you’re not hungry, take a half-hour nap, and then get up to continue making buttons.
Occasionally someone would come to chat with Jiang's mother or village cadres would come to the house to discuss matters, and the social interactions were monotonous and repetitive.
Just when Gao Qinghe suspected that she was thinking too much, Jiang's mother, who never asked her for money, actually asked her for ten yuan to buy meat in town.
