On this day, the rain still did not stop, but the people of Shili Village in the cave were very safe. Not only did they build a fence at the entrance of the cave, they also dug a big pit in front of the fence and inserted sharpened bamboos at the bottom of the pit as a trap.
Even though there were occasional wolf howls outside, everyone in the cave was minding their own business and was quite harmonious.
"Aliang, come here, I want to tell you something!" The village chief waved to Boss Jiang, his face a little hesitant.
After a while, the two of them walked to a corner.
When Boss Jiang returned to the tent again, he could hardly conceal the deep sadness on his face.
"Boss, what's wrong?" Qian Xiuzhu asked hurriedly when she saw that he looked unhappy.
Boss Jiang raised his big hand and wiped his face, whispering, "Someone in the village said that Liu hanged herself this morning. My second brother and his wife are nowhere to be found, and I'm afraid they won't be back."
After the words were spoken, there was a long silence.
Qian Xiuzhu was a little dazed. In her dream, the Liu who had torn their family apart just died like that?
It's like a dream.
After recovering, she glanced at the head of the household and said softly, "We have nothing to criticize about your second brother's family. Since they chose to abandon their two children and leave, they have lost their conscience. Don't be confused."
Jiang Dalang sighed. He didn't want to find his second brother, but he felt that life was unpredictable.
"I understand, wife." He moved closer to Qian Xiuzhu, "What do you think of those two girls?"
Qian Xiuzhu glared at him. "What can I think? I feed them and they help me with the work. I can't just ignore them or drown them. If I do that, what kind of people would I be?"
"I knew my wife was the kindest person!" Boss Jiang praised her without hesitation.
Qian Xiuzhu pushed back Boss Jiang's big face that was leaning towards her and stood up to continue working.
There is not enough dry firewood, so how can we have time to chat?
Everyone slept very soundly on the first night in the cave.
The next day, Qian Xiuzhu thought that the meat marinated with salt would not be able to be kept for a few days. After discussing with the head of the family, she announced a good news to everyone in the Jiang family - they could eat meat today.
Despite this, no one in the Jiang family was happy. Old man Jiang had just passed away, and the seventh day had not yet passed. No one could feel at ease to eat meat. In such a depressing atmosphere, heavy rain fell for another three days.
Everyone looked down from their high vantage point, watching the small hill at the back of the mountain turn from a lush green into a vast ocean. The originally slightly relaxed atmosphere disappeared, replaced by an increasingly heavy silence.
Jiang Huaixu looked at his sister-in-law who was frowning and depressed, and sighed. Before going up the mountain, his elder brother took his sister-in-law to Zhengjia Village, where they learned that his sister-in-law's parents also planned to hide in the mountains. After finding out that the village chief of Zhengjia Village also had this idea, they returned with peace of mind. But now it was raining so heavily, and they couldn't help but worry.
But in this kind of situation, no one can help except verbal comfort.
In addition to studying medicine and doing experiments these days, she has been teaching Jiang Wei and the others how to read.
Yes, Jiang Wei also started to learn to read under Jiang Fu's encouragement. Tian Ya and Xiao Feng also followed behind to learn. Regardless of whether they learned well or not, they were very motivated.
Jiang Huaixu was not a good teacher. He wrote five words on a stone with burnt firewood, taught them how to pronounce them, and then let them express themselves freely.
Most of the time, Jiang Wei and her friends could only pester Jiang Erlang for an explanation of the words.
It’s not that Jiang Huaixu is so lazy that he deliberately doesn’t explain it to them. She is not the ancient "Shuowen Jiezi" and has never read this book. With a ready-made Jiang Erlang, why should she waste time looking for an explanation?
So Jiang Erlang became her labor force again.
On the other hand, Jiang Erlang enjoyed it. He could find an interesting little story to tell to the children when explaining each word. Over time, more and more children were attracted to it, and the adults felt very gratified to see it.
Among the group of children, only Sun Pangya is an eyesore. Wherever there is Jiang Erlang, there is also her. It is obvious to everyone.
For this reason, many women secretly criticized it. Qian Xiuzhu watched coldly, resentful in her heart, thinking that this was relying on her Erlang, right? That day, she found Jiang Erlang, and the mother and son talked for a long time. The next day, it was rumored that Jiang Erlang would not marry before he came of age.
There are still six years before Erlang comes of age, and Qian Xiuzhu doesn't believe that Sun Pangya can exhaust herself and turn herself into an old lady in her twenties!
After this incident was reported, Sun Pangya couldn't sleep that night. She hadn't found any chance to be alone with Jiang Erlang in these days, let alone put her plan into practice.
The most annoying thing is that no matter what she said to Jiang Erlang, he acted as if he didn't hear it. It was simply...
As she thought about it, her chest became more and more stuffy. She propped up her arms and looked outside the tent. Everyone was fast asleep at this moment, and the fire was about to burn out, but she could still clearly see the people lying on the ground.
She slowly sat up and tiptoed out of the tent.
In the space, Fu Tuan raised his eyelids, too lazy to remind the host, but thinking of the sweet cake, he still spoke reluctantly, [Host, Sun Pangya is walking towards you.]
Jiang Huaixu was a light sleeper, and he immediately opened his eyes when he heard the sound.
She slept in the same tent with Zheng Li'niang and Jiang Wei, sleeping on the outermost side. The zipper of the tent was not zipped up, and you could see outside by lifting the oilcloth.
Sun Pangya was seen squatting in front of the tent of her three brothers with her back to her, and she did not move for a long time.
After a while, there was a rustling sound in the tent. Sun Pangya was obviously frightened and sat down on the ground suddenly. The scream from her throat stopped as it came out.
