Chapter 112 There is another brother
Jiang Yan looked at the little girl with curved eyebrows: "Little friend, do you know me?"
Seeing that she was not angry, Zhou Wei and Wang Jiamei immediately relaxed.
The little girl pursed her lips and said with sparkling eyes: "Well, my father, mother, uncle and aunt all said that you are amazing!"
Jiang Yan couldn't help but laugh: "Little girl, you are so sweet. Wait for auntie to see if there is any candy on you."
As she spoke, she reached out to take off the black backpack on her back, unzipped it a little, reached in and pretended to look inside.
In fact, she took out a rainbow lollipop from the space with a thought.
"Huh? I'm lucky today, I found it! Here!" Jiang Yan said gently, squatting down to hand it to the little girl, and asked casually:
"Little beauty, how old are you this year, what's your name?"
Zhou Wei over there was about to talk, and saw the little girl's eyes light up, and she took the candy with joy, and said happily:
"My name is Zhou Haoyue, Haoyue in the sky, I'm six and a half years old this year! I also have a brother named-"
"Zhou Haoyue!" The little girl was excited and was interrupted by Wang Jiamei's sudden and harsh voice.
Zhou Wei's face suddenly became a little ugly.
"." Zhou Haoyue shuddered all over, bit her lips, and drooped her little face, and didn't speak.
Jiang Yan: "."
Su Dai next to her also frowned.
"Haoyue, auntie gave me candy, should we thank auntie first? We must not be impolite children." Wang Jiamei may have realized that her emotions were a little out of control just now, and hurried to make up for it.
Zhou Haoyue stroked the lollipop in her hand, raised her little face timidly and looked at Jiang Yan, saying, "Thank you, Auntie."
"You're welcome." Jiang Yan said, giving her an encouraging look.
Su Dai felt that the expressions of the couple were a little strange, so she said,
"Hey, Brother Zhou, you have a little son at home? Why didn't I see him with you last night?"
In the past, the other party's family situation was obviously private.
She was also a person with a strong sense of boundaries outside.
If the other party didn't take the initiative to say it, she wouldn't ask.
But now the situation is not ordinary, Su Dai found that she obviously gossiped a lot.
"Haha, yes." Zhou Wei's face showed a trace of embarrassment, and then hurriedly said,
"Sorry, both of you, we will go back first." Zhou Wei said, reaching out to pull the sleeve of Wang Jiamei next to him.
Wang Jiamei looked at the two of them and smiled awkwardly, saying, "Haoyue, say goodbye to the two aunts."
"Goodbye, Aunt Jiang Yan, goodbye, Aunt Su Dai." Zhou Haoyue sniffed and hugged the toy calf in her hand tighter.
The three of them turned around and went back together.
The door of room 3203 was tightly closed with a "bang".
Jiang Yan and Su Dai looked at the worried backs of the family of three, stared at each other, and turned into the house without saying a word.
In the past, neighbors would invite themselves to move or something.
Logically, they should give something or a red envelope.
But nowadays, there is a shortage of supplies, and these etiquettes are not important.
The key is that this is not a housewarming for the other party.
In addition, Jiang Yan noticed that when Su Dai asked Zhou Wei if he had a little son, Zhou Wei smiled awkwardly, but his fists in his hands suddenly clenched tightly.
Wang Jiamei's red and swollen eyes flashed a trace of barely detectable hatred and fear.
But she didn't ask too much.
After all, every family has its own problems.
In the room, Sun Jingtao and Tian Jiliang were working together to lift a three-seater leather sofa towards the wall.
The supplies that were previously piled up in the house have been sorted out, and the living room is much emptier and fresher.
Ye Qing, with his back to the door, was concentrating on adjusting the smoke exhaust vent.
They built a set of earthen stoves with bricks and cement in the living room, slightly closer to the French window.
In the stove, they also took a stainless steel mesh used in a large steamer to make a sandwich.
When burning firewood, the firewood can be placed on the sandwich, and the ash can just fall down.
The middle is suspended, which increases air contact and makes it easier for firewood to burn.
The smoke exhaust vent was also made, and two white PVC drain pipes were used as smoke exhaust pipes.
The pipe just stretched diagonally to the glass window.
Because the earthen stove had just been built, the living room was filled with a damp cement smell.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Sun Jingtao and Tian Jiliang turned around at the same time.
Ye Qing paused while adjusting the pipe, raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Yan, and some emotions flashed in his eyes.
Maybe it was because she had been with Su Dai and her husband these days, but Jiang Yan felt that the indifference on his face was much less than before.
Her overall condition was getting better and better.
"Jiang Yan."
"Jiang Yan, you're here, come in and sit down!"
Tian Jiliang and Sun Jingtao greeted her hurriedly.
Both of them were old residents of Repulse Bay and had known each other longer than Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan greeted them one by one.
Su Dai briefly introduced Tian Jiliang to her, saying that he now lived on the 29th floor, and he was the only one left at home.
She didn't mention the tragic situation that Tian Jiliang's parents, wife, and son died one after another in the high temperature.
"Jiang Yan, sit down and rest for a while. We'll start eating after sweeping the floor here." Sun Jingtao patted the dust off his hands and looked at Jiang Yan politely.
"Don't worry, just call me if you need any help." Jiang Yan said, took out the supplies from her backpack and handed them to Su Dai: "Su Dai, there's nothing good at home, just a token of my appreciation, haha."
Su Dai declined without a second thought: "Jiang Yan, you can just come to eat, why do you bring so many supplies? Especially the rice and salt, they are quite precious."
For the southerners in the end times, the importance of rice is self-evident.
And salt is not expensive on weekdays.
In fact, not much is consumed in each meal.
But when there is no salt in the food, any delicacies will taste like chewing wax.
That's why, every time something happens, salt is always the first thing to be snatched.
"Not much, I feed the whole family alone, so I don't need much supplies. You should take these things, otherwise I won't come to eat next time." Jiang Yan said, and stuffed the supplies back into her hands.
Su Dai didn't know what to say when she heard it, and silently put the supplies brought by Jiang Yan into the kitchen.
Jiang Yan had nothing to do, so she went to the balcony to study the vegetables that Su Dai had planted.
Su Dai came out of the kitchen after putting away the supplies. Seeing her looking at her balcony vegetable garden with interest, she walked over and said,
"Jiang Yan, I haven't had time to plant the seeds you gave me last time. There are some containers at home that can be converted into planting pots, but unfortunately there is no soil.
If we use soilless cultivation, the temperature is so low and there is a lack of nutrient solution, the vegetables will not grow well."
After saying that, she sighed, "Oh, if only I could find soil."
