Chapter 5: Partiality (I love eating almonds, 10,000 coins for extra chapters)
"Oh." Seeing this, Song Jingyun put the egg custard into his mouth.
Jiang Youcheng had mixed feelings, but after a moment he was quite happy.
Although this child is stupid, he is filial at heart and is a good person overall.
Liu's face was also filled with relief. She stuffed the wild vegetable cakes into Song Jingyun's hands and told him to eat more.
The egg custard is smooth and tender and tastes great.
Song Jingyun felt more and more that food was quite magical.
Not only are they diverse, but the flavors are also different.
Song Jingyun silently kept a record of this in his heart.
It’s about the taste of food.
After breakfast, Song Jingyun was very well behaved. He didn't spill any of the cornmeal porridge and ate it all cleanly. He even helped Jiang Mixia clean up the dishes after the meal.
Jiang Mixia was pleased with the results of her teaching, but Jiang Youcheng and Liu felt that there was still hope for this young son-in-law's brain.
In short, all three of them felt very relieved.
After tidying up, Jiang Youcheng and Liu took their backpacks and sickles and went out to cut brambles, asking Jiang Mixia to take Song Jingyun to look after the house.
Jiang Mixia agreed readily, and took the opportunity to take Song Jingyun around the house and the neighborhood to teach him how to recognize things.
"These are poplar trees, locust trees, and soapberry trees..."
"This is a water tank, and this is a wooden barrel. We usually use the wooden barrel to fetch water from the water tank for eating, drinking, washing clothes, etc."
"This is a chicken. We raise it at home. It lays eggs. By the way, the egg custard you eat in the morning is made from its eggs. You need to feed the chicken regularly. You can feed it with bran."
Chickens lay eggs, and the eggs are used to make custard, which is delicious.
Song Jingyun nodded, "Then can I help feed the chickens in the future?"
"Okay, but don't feed them too much. If you feed them too much, the chickens will die of overeating." Jiang Mixia reminded. "I'll call you when I need to feed them."
"Oh." Song Jingyun scratched his ear.
It seems that feeding chickens is a very complicated thing.
"This was originally a pig pen, but last year a piglet died, so we didn't buy another one."
"This is a stone mill. You can grind the harvested wheat and corn kernels here into flour and then eat it. What are wheat cobs? I'll teach you how to recognize them when we get to the field..."
The two of them, one teaching patiently and the other learning seriously, are quite harmonious.
Moreover, Song Jingyun learns quickly, and Jiang Mixia also feels a sense of accomplishment and is very enthusiastic in teaching.
"Sixth sister." Jiang Chunyu ran over excitedly, holding a bamboo basket in his hand and stuffed it into Jiang Mixia's hand, "My mother asked me to give it to your family."
Inside the bamboo basket is a basket of green spinach.
Early April is the time when green leafy vegetables are growing vigorously, and farmers' vegetable fields are full of green.
However, most of the vegetables in the vegetable garden are not eaten by the farmers themselves. They pick the good ones and take them to the town or county to exchange for some money, soy sauce, vinegar, etc. Only those that are of poor quality and cannot be sold are kept for their own consumption.
This basket of spinach has tender leaves and plump stems, and is growing very well.
Jiang Mixia was holding the bamboo basket and felt that the weight was not right. She reached down and saw a layer of eggs at the bottom of the basket.
There are about ten of them.
"Take it back and keep it for yourself." Jiang Mixia pushed it back.
"My mother asked me to bring it here. If I take it back, I will be scolded."
Jiang Chunyu lowered his voice, "My mother heard that Sixth Brother-in-law woke up, so she asked me to bring it here for Sixth Sister and Sixth Brother-in-law to recuperate. Sixth Sister, don't say anything. My mother asked me to come here because she didn't want the Second House to hear it. Otherwise, Second Aunt will go around saying that my mother is partial to me."
"We have many chickens at home, so we have no shortage of eggs. Besides, the money that Sixth Sister has made me earn in the past few days is more than just these eggs. Sixth Sister, just accept them with peace of mind."
"Okay." Jiang Mixia didn't refuse anymore. She carried the bamboo basket into the house, took out the spinach and eggs, and then returned the empty bamboo basket to Jiang Chunyu.
Seeing that Jiang Chunyu was still holding a bamboo fork in his hand, Jiang Mixia was a little curious, "What are you going to do?"
"Yesterday, Sanpang caught a huge grass carp in the river and showed it off in front of me for a long time. I was so angry that I thought I would try my luck at the riverside."
Jiang Chunyu grinned, "Sixth sister, do you want to go? It's easy to catch fish in spring. If you catch some, you can make fish soup when you come back."
Jiang Mixia thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I'll just go to the river and fetch two buckets of water."
Jiang Youcheng and Liu are busy with family life. Although she has to take care of Song Jingyun now, she can't just do nothing.
It was a good opportunity to take Song Jingyun out for a walk so that he could recognize more things.
Next, just like what Jiang Chunyu said, if you are lucky enough to catch a fish, you can also have a snack.
Jiang Mixia felt that there were many benefits, so she took a shoulder pole, a wooden barrel and a bamboo fork, and also took an empty basket and asked Song Jingyun to carry it, and followed Jiang Chunyu to the river.
The river is on the west side of the village, not far away. It only takes a cup of tea to walk to it.
It is April now and the rainy season has not yet arrived. The river is not very wide and the water flows quietly.
The river water is clear and is the main source of water for Jiangjia Village and several nearby villages for drinking and irrigation. At this time, some people come to the river to fetch water, or women carry basins to the river to wash clothes.
There are also children like Jiang Chunyu, who come with shrimp baskets and bamboo forks to try their luck.
The people in Jiangjia Village knew each other. When they saw Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun, they greeted them with a smile.
"Hey, Xia girl's son-in-law is awake too? He looks okay, right?"
"The doctor checked it out and said it's fine. Thank you Aunt Song for your concern." Jiang Mixia replied with a smile.
Seeing Jiang Mixia's swift words, Song smiled and smacked her lips, "Xia girl is getting smarter and smarter."
"That's right. It sounds so clever and pleasing to the ear." Meng, who was beside Song, soaked the clothes in her hand into the river.
"My parents also said so. They said it was a blessing from God and the protection of the Bodhisattva." Jiang Mixia smiled and touched Song Jingyun beside her. "This is Aunt Song and Sister Meng."
"Aunt Song, Aunt Meng." Song Jingyun called them obediently.
Seeing that Song Jingyun looked timid and spoke in a low voice, but was fair-skinned and gentle, he was very likable. He just smiled and said, "Good boy, when we get to Jiangjia Village, we will be a family. If you have anything to say, just talk to me."
Song Jingyun thought about it and nodded.
"Aunt Song and Aunt Meng, please go ahead and do your work. Let's go get some water first." Jiang Mixia pulled Song Jingyun and followed Jiang Chunyu upstream.
There are fewer people upstream, so it is easier to catch fish.
"The water here is shallow and there are many aquatic plants, so fish like to come here." Jiang Chunyu rolled up his trouser legs, took the bamboo fork in his hand, slowly walked into the water, and looked underwater with bated breath.
The river is full of running water and there are many wild fish and shrimps.
There was no movement on the water surface, and the fish swam over quickly.
It was a small wild crucian carp that seemed unaware of any danger and swam back and forth beside Jiang Chunyu's legs.
Jiang Chunyu gathered all his strength, gritted his teeth, and stabbed downwards with the bamboo fork tightly gripped in his hand.
