After leaving the restaurant, Jiang Xile took the slip of paper from the hospital to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought two cans of malted milk powder. Then she bought some candy and snacks before returning to the Jiang family home.
As soon as she entered, she saw Jiang Ping'an and Jiang Donghai playing in the yard, but Jiang Xile had no intention of paying attention to them.
Jiang Ping'an was having a great time playing with Jiang Donghai when he looked up and saw his usually timid and taciturn older sister returning with large bags of things.
Just from the packaging, Jiang Ping'an could tell that everything inside was delicious.
"Jiang Xile, why did you buy so much delicious food? Did Mom ask you to buy it? Quickly, give me a piece of snack to try."
Jiang Ping'an pointed to a paper package. Zhang Guilian had bought these things from the supply and marketing cooperative before. Because he had eaten them before, Jiang Ping'an recognized them at a glance.
"These things are mine, not for you to eat. Get out of my way!"
"Why should I get any food! You good-for-nothing, you won't even give me any! Do you believe I'll tell Dad!"
Jiang Ping'an stood with his hands on his hips, angrily blocking Jiang Xile's way, looking every bit like a little tyrant. Unfortunately for him, Jiang Xile wasn't having any of it.
"Let me give you a piece of advice: be a polite child, otherwise, one day someone will teach you what politeness really means!"
"Jiang Xile! How dare you talk to me like that!"
"Get out of the way!"
Jiang Xile pushed Jiang Ping'an aside, knocking him to the side, and then went into the house.
"Jiang Xile, you stop right there!"
Jiang Ping'an was so angry he was jumping up and down. In the past, Jiang Xile would listen to whatever he said, so why was she disobedient today?
Three-year-old Jiang Donghai watched Jiang Ping'an jumping around angrily in the yard and started jumping up and down with him. Seeing his expression, Jiang Ping'an became even angrier.
He stormed into Jiang Xile's room in a rage and slammed the door open.
"Huh? Where did everyone go?"
"Jiang Xile, where are you?"
At this moment, Jiang Xile was lying in Jiang Shengli's room. This room originally belonged to Jiang Xile, but was later occupied by Jiang Shengli.
Now that Jiang Xile has come, even if she only stays for a few days, Jiang Xile will absolutely not make herself suffer.
I pulled the sheets off the bed and took out clean ones from the closet to change into. As for the others, I can only make do for now, since we have limited resources!
After a long day, Jiang Xile was feeling quite tired. After closing the door, she went to rest.
No matter how much Jiang Ping'an shouted outside, Jiang Xile didn't intend to pay him any attention. Wouldn't it be better to use that time to get some sleep?
Jiang Ping'an searched each room one by one, and finally found that Jiang Shengli's room was closed and could not be opened from the outside, which confirmed that Jiang Xile was inside.
"Jiang Xile, you've got some nerve! You actually dared to go into your brother's room. You're in big trouble when he comes back. Now get out of here right now."
After saying that, he seemed to remember something, a smug smile playing on his lips as he said triumphantly:
"Give me the delicious food you bought right now, and I won't tell my brother or anyone else that you went into his room."
"Jiang Xile, did you hear me? Hurry up and bring out the good food!"
"Hey! Jiang Xile, I'm talking to you!"
Jiang Ping'an called for a long time, but Jiang Xile didn't respond at all. His throat was dry from shouting. Finally, seeing that no one would come out, he said something harsh and walked away angrily.
"Just you wait. When your older brother and mother come back, you'll be in for it. Don't expect me to plead for you then, no way!"
When Jiang Ping'an returned to the courtyard, Jiang Donghai was playing in the mud, his little face covered in dirt and mud.
"Jiang Donghai, what's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you to be careful about hygiene? Mom asked me to look after you, and you've made such a mess. Mom's going to scold me again!"
"Brother, play in the mud! Play in the mud!"
Jiang Donghai was only three years old, so he could play whatever he wanted. Jiang Ping'an couldn't persuade him otherwise, and was afraid of making him cry, so he had no choice but to play in the mud with him.
"Okay, brother will play with mud with you. I'll make you a little mud figure, okay?"
"well!"
Jiang Ping'an picked up a large chunk of mud from the ground and held it in his hand. It felt a little warm, but he assumed it was from the sun and didn't pay much attention.
After squeezing it a few times, it somehow smelled like urine. Looking around the yard, she then asked Jiang Donghai:
"Donghai, there's no water in the yard, where did you get this mud from!"
Jiang Donghai blinked his innocent big eyes.
"When you pee, there's mud!"
"What!"
Jiang Ping'an immediately threw the mud in his hand away, becoming extremely agitated.
"You unlucky bastard, you made me pee! Ugh..."
Jiang Ping'an, who had thrown away the mud, hurriedly ran to the kitchen to find water to wash his hands, but Jiang Donghai, who was still waiting for the mud figure, was unwilling to do so.
Seeing the mud splattered all over the ground, she immediately burst into tears.
"Ah... Waaah... My... my... clay figure... Waaah..."
In the kitchen, Jiang Ping'an repeatedly scrubbed his hands with soap several times, and even when he heard Jiang Donghai crying, he stubbornly refused to go over and comfort him.
Just then, Jiang Shengli, who was drunk and staggering, walked in from outside the gate.
As soon as I entered, I was pierced by the deafening noise. Looking at my half-brother who was wailing loudly, I couldn't say I felt much pity for him, but I did feel some concern.
"Little Donghai, why are you crying! What's wrong?"
"Waaah... Big brother... Second brother... The clay figure... is broken..."
