"It doesn't matter. In fact, I also know martial arts." Jiang Nian looked at them with a faint smile.
Li Rui was stunned, obviously unconvinced, and said with a smile: "Don't be ridiculous, I suggest you find someone from the village to lead the way tomorrow. After all, they are familiar with the area. Just walk around the periphery of the mountain, and don't go inside. The village chief's son's legs are pierced by wild boar tusks. Aren't you afraid?"
Jiang Nian didn't answer. No one believed her if she told the truth, so she had no choice.
After taking the food back, Jiang Nian asked Shi Liu who was washing the baby's diaper, "Sister-in-law Shi Liu, I got the food back. Should I eat it with you or cook it myself?"
Shi Liu raised his head and smiled kindly, "That depends on you. If you want to do it yourself, you can do it yourself. If you don't want to do it yourself, you can join us. Just take as much food as you can eat."
"I just arrived and I'm not very familiar with this place. I'll just eat with you for now and see how things go in a couple of days." Jiang Nian didn't confirm it right away, leaving himself some room.
"Okay, dinner will be ready soon. You can take out the food first, and keep the rest away. Don't let the rats harm them."
Jiang Nian did as he was told.
I don’t realize it now, but after having dinner with the Zhou family, I will know how smart her decision is.
Even family members may not be able to eat from the same pot, let alone outsiders who have completely different living habits.
Although she was not asked to help with dinner, Jiang Nian was not idle either, but was cleaning the house.
There isn't anything major wrong with the Zhou family for now, but they are definitely not a clean and tidy family. The cabinets and tables at the head of the kang in the house are covered with dust. It's probably because they are made of mud and have mud floors. This kind of house is too easy for dust to accumulate.
This is the first time in her life that she lives with someone else. Even though she is just a small child, she still feels strange and uncomfortable.
By the time she finished cleaning up, it was time for dinner.
There is no electricity in Zhoujia Village yet, so people can only eat in the yard under the moonlight and starlight.
The sorghum rice porridge was so watery that the bottom could be seen. Only Jiang Nian's bowl was relatively sticky because she had taken more food. The dish was a stew of potatoes, eggplants and some unknown green vegetables. The soup was clear and watery without a trace of oil.
Village Chief Zhou also warned her, "We live in poverty here, and we don't have much food. You probably didn't eat well during the few days you spent on the train. Forget about today, but you still have to plan your meals in the future. Food is limited. Don't live a life where you have enough food in the first half of the month and go hungry in the second half."
Aunt Zhou also said, "Life is still good now. The green vegetables and wild vegetables in the fields are growing vigorously. At least we can eat something and not go hungry. It will be more difficult in winter."
It’s not that Village Chief Zhou is meddling. They don’t have enough food, so they still have to ask the villagers for borrowing. He is the one who is in trouble.
Jiang Nian thought, fortunately she didn't insist on having dinner with them, so she could just make do with one meal today and cook for herself tomorrow, and it would be best if she could move out.
