Chapter 154 Colorful light, just like a rainbow

Jiang Rou was very sure that what she said today would spread throughout the compound within an hour.

How can a woman who can catch a chicken in one hand be a dignified young lady? That is the most outstanding image of a working woman.

It will also cause the sisters-in-law to get to know Song Qingqian again.

Jiang Rou had this in mind, so she specifically said this to Zhao Guifen.

The two chatted with relish for a while.

Afterwards, Zhao Guifen had to take care of her own things, and Jiang Rou had to go back to wash the sheets.

She turned around.

Jiang Rou met Zhou Xiaochuan's bright dark eyes.

The little boy looked up with a serious expression, and seemed a little mature.

Her eyebrows were tightly curled together like a caterpillar.

I don’t know what worries such a young child like him every day.

Zhou Xiaochuan looked at Jiang Rou and spoke a powerful sentence every time he opened his mouth.

"You lied."

Zhou Xiaochuan actually saw the chicken catching yesterday. The person who caught a chicken in each hand was Jiang Rou, not Song Qingqian at all. Song Qingqian instead threw a huge salmon.

But he knew that Song Qingqian fell because of him and Zhou Xiaohua.

So some words weighed on Zhou Xiaochuan's heart.

Even though Jiang Rou was obviously talking nonsense just now, he did not say anything to refute her.

Instead, he told it to Jiang Rou.

Facing Zhou Xiaochuan's questioning, Jiang Rou was only a little surprised, but she did not panic as she did after her lie was exposed.

After all, rumors are true and false. Even if Jiang Rou just told the truth, it will gradually lose its truthfulness after being passed on.

It was because she understood this process that Jiang Rou acted exceptionally calmly.

She shrugged and admitted it.

"You're right, I lied."

When Jiang Rou said this, Zhou Xiaochuan was stunned.

In his little world, he had never seen anyone so calm and composed when telling a lie, and even admitting it voluntarily.

This... counterattack rhythm confused Zhou Xiaochuan.

Jiang Rou walked to the faucet. In front of her was a large red basin filled with soaked sheets, and next to it was a small stool.

She sat on a small stool, basking in the sun while leisurely washing clothes.

Zhou Xiaochuan's brows furrowed even more as he watched.

He looked at Jiang Rou, followed her and stood aside.

He repeated it seriously, stubbornly and obstinately.

"It's wrong to lie."

The little boy has his own principles in his heart.

Zhou Xiaohua was squatting beside the basin and playing with water. She was originally happy, but suddenly she seemed to feel the atmosphere change.

I'm a little nervous~

Zhou Xiaohua raised her round little face and first looked at Zhou Xiaochuan who had a serious expression, and then at Jiang Rou who seemed fine.

Is this... a fight?

Her big eyes blinked in confusion.

Jiang Rou looked at Zhou Xiaochuan with gentle eyes.

She nodded. "Xiaochuan, you are right. Lying is wrong. Lies can even hurt people. But sometimes, some white lies can protect others."

A white lie?

In Zhou Xiaochuan's world, lies are lies. How can they be well-intentioned?

Jiang Rou saw his confusion, so she gave an example.

"For example, when you saved the Wo Wo Tou for Xiao Hua to eat, you would deliberately tell her that you were full and not hungry at all, right? This is a white lie, you want to protect Xiao Hua."

When Zhou Xiaochuan heard this, he pursed his lips tightly.

Jiang Rou was right, this was the lie he had told.

He followed Jiang Rou's logic and thought about it carefully.

"So...you did this to protect Aunt Song?"

"That's right. Xiaochuan, the adult world is very complicated, and sometimes you need some white lies to maintain it. But you and Xiaohua are still children, and I hope you will live a simple and happy life without telling any lies."

This is Jiang Rou's sincere wish.

After saying this, Jiang Rou waited.

But Zhou Xiaochuan seemed to be lost in his thoughts and remained silent.

Jiang Rou didn't wait any longer and started washing the sheets and applying soap.

Zhou Xiaochuan stood aside, looking down in deep thought for a very long time.

He finally spoke softly.

"I will remember what you said."

…

Yellow alkaline soap is the most primitive and has the strongest cleaning power.

After applying soap, after a while, as Jiang Rou scrubbed, soap bubbles gradually appeared in the red basin.

One by one, some are small and dense, while others are round and big.

"Xiaohua, come and take off your shoes and socks."

Jiang Rou picked up the barefoot Zhou Xiaohua, put her in the basin of water, and asked her to start marking time.

When the chubby little feet first touched the water, they were a little cold, but they got used to it quickly.

Zhou Xiaohua nodded and started stepping on her feet.

The sound of splashing water was heard immediately.

Zhou Xiaohua not only stepped on the water, but also on the sheets in the basin, again and again. The touch under her feet was soft and magical.

Normally, children who play in the water like this will be criticized or even beaten by their parents.

I didn't expect that she would be asked to play in the water.

Zhou Xiaohua smiled happily, revealing her small white teeth, and her eyes curved into the shape of a moon.

Jiang Rou was still encouraging from the side.

"Yes, that's right. Xiaohua is doing a great job. She can even help mommy wash clothes. That's really great."

When Zhou Xiaohua heard this, she immediately became excited. It was as if there were Hot Wheels under her feet, and she pedaled with great excitement.

Snap, snap, snap.

The sound is continuous.

Tiny splashes of water kept flying.

Flying in the sunlight, they refract colorful light, just like a rainbow.

for a while.

In the small yard, I was washing yesterday's bed-wet sheets, but the day was greeted with laughter and joy.

…

This day.

When Jiang Rou went to Song Qingqian's house again, she was a little later than usual.

It was after lunch and the two children took a nap.

She held her two children's hands and walked in the afternoon sunshine.

I had just walked for a while in the compound when I met a few sisters-in-law under a big tree.

Some of the sisters-in-law were knitting sweaters, some were peeling silkworm beans, and some were sewing shoe soles.

It is the leisure time for women after they finish their housework and don’t have to take care of the children.

They were originally chatting about family matters, and when they saw Jiang Rou coming over, their eyes lit up.

Right after.

A very familiar scene occurred.

"Sister Rou, Sister Rou! I finally see you!"

"I heard that you were with Sister Lin yesterday afternoon? Did she really vomit or was she faking it? Why do so many people say that she had morning sickness, but she herself refuses to admit it? Is it true that she didn't spoil the baby?"

"Sister Rou, did you catch chickens yesterday? The three of you caught more than a dozen chickens in one go? You even broke off the chicken wings?"

"No, no! I heard it was a fighting cock! It's the most ferocious big rooster that will rush over and bite you!"

"What I heard is different. Not only catching chickens, but also catching geese. Geese are much more ferocious than chickens, and they specialize in pecking people's buttocks. I was pecked by one when I was a child, and it hurt so much. Those creatures understand human nature and specialize in bullying those who are weaker than them. Sister Rou, you were not bullied, were you?"
