Chapter 116 Even a little drizzle is too little
Facing Jiang Ye's questioning, Jiang Zhu couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling.
There were no books in their house, let alone medical books.
"Ah?" Xie Jiaojiao lowered her eyebrows and pursed her lips. "Fake? It will still hurt."
Jiang Zhu: "Really, it doesn't hurt that much."
"Ahem, sister-in-law, please believe me."
Jiang Ye couldn't bear to see Xie Jiaojiao frowning, and what Jiang Zhu said was not wrong.
He chimed in: "Really, it doesn't hurt that much at the back."
"However, this is something everyone knows, and it's not something you read in books." Jiang Ye glanced at Jiang Zhu coldly, his tone stern, "Go back and explain to me why you lied."
A double entendre.
Jiang Zhu understood.
Brother, he knows everything.
Glancing at the panic and fear on Jiang Zhu's face, Xie Jiaojiao secretly pinched the soft flesh on Jiang Ye's waist.
She pulled the hand around Jiang Ye's neck into her arms and whispered, "Don't be so fierce. You scared your brother."
Scared?
She had the guts to act and deceive him, and even teamed up with Uncle Lin to take advantage of Jiaojiao's kindness and conceal the truth for them.
If you dare to do this, you should think about the consequences!
"Okay, I won't be mean." Jiang Ye tilted his head, "You go home first, I'll take your sister-in-law home."
"Um."
"Brother..." Jiang Zhu bit her lower lip.
"What? Is there anything else?"
Jiang Ye's indifferent eyes swept over, and Jiang Zhu's eager words of explanation were stuck in his throat, "It's okay."
Jiang Zhu stood there in a daze for a long time.
It was not until the figures of Jiang Ye and Xie Jiaojiao gradually became blurred that he lowered his head and walked back home in a daze.
Brother, I must hate him even more...
Thinking of Jiang Zhu's bad face when he left, Xie Jiaojiao helped to explain, "Aye, when you go back later, don't blame your brother."
"He wasn't running around sick; we met on the road when he was bringing me water.
My younger brother was very worried when he saw that I was injured, so he accompanied me to Uncle Lin's place to get treatment."
Deliver water?
Where is the bowl?
Jiang Ye didn't expose Xie Jiaojiao's lies, which were full of loopholes. "Okay, I don't blame him."
"Jiaojiao, how about we not work anymore and just rest at home?" Jiang Ye asked in a negotiating tone.
Although injured, Xie Jiaojiao still did not give up her ambition to build the countryside.
This is just a minor difficulty that can be overcome.
Xie Jiaojiao looked at Jiang Ye with a reproachful look in her eyes, "How can this be possible?"
"What if I get hurt again?"
"It was an accident." Xie Jiaojiao, who lacked common sense, argued very reasonably, "I'll be more careful next time, and everything will be fine."
Suddenly, Jiang Ye put Xie Jiaojiao down.
"Tired?" Xie Jiaojiao asked foolishly.
"Not tired." Jiang Ye's eyes were full of stars. "Holding you will never make me tired."
Xie Jiaojiao felt shy and scolded, "Shameless."
Jiang Ye stretched out his hand and collapsed in front of Xie Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, look."
Xie Jiaojiao blinked and commented very honestly, "It's dark and yellow, not as pretty as mine."
As she spoke, Xie Jiaojiao raised her fair and slender hand to show Jiang Ye.
Unfortunately, when her eyes fell on the hand wrapped in gauze like a dumpling, her bright eyes dimmed.
"Jiaojiao's hands are beautiful, even when they are injured."
"That's right." Xie Jiaojiao smiled and raised her chin.
Jiang Ye scratched Xie Jiaojiao's tender face, "Jiaojiao, does it hurt?"
"itch."
Jiang Ye withdrew his hand, pointed at the calluses on it, and asked, "Do you know what this is?"
"Calluses."
She had seen it in her grandfather's hands.
"Jiaojiao, you know so much."
"I graduated from high school," Xie Jiaojiao said with a little pride. "Besides, I know this is caused by work."
Seeing Xie Jiaojiao like this, Jiang Ye knew that she only understood the surface.
"It's caused by working. The small blisters on your fingertips are the first step in forming calluses."
"Ah?" Xie Jiaojiao looked surprised.
"Prick the blister, sprinkle some medicine powder on it, continue working, and then new blisters will appear. Repeat this eighteen or ten times, and it will become a callus."
Swish!
Xie Jiaojiao's face, which showed confidence that she could overcome difficulties, instantly fell.
She is afraid of pain!
She wants to be beautiful and doesn't want calluses on her hands.
Jiang Ye saw the change in Xie Jiaojiao's expression clearly, and he continued to add fuel to the fire.
"Jiaojiao, if you still want to go back to work, let's remove the gauze and go back to work. If you get blisters, just prick them and squeeze out the pus. After half a month, you won't get blisters anymore."
"Tear it down now? Keep working?"
"Yes! Since you have to work, calluses will appear sooner or later, so this way it will be faster.
Otherwise, after the injury heals, I have to start over again, and the effect will be slow. It will probably take two or three months?"
"Two or three months?" Xie Jiaojiao raised her voice, looking terrified.
Xie Jiaojiao felt terrified just thinking about half a month, let alone longer.
Although Xie Jiaojiao is delicate in nature, she is not someone who gives up easily.
She looked sad and said, "It's not good to give up halfway."
"Jiaojiao, you are different from us native farmers."
“As soon as we could run, we would go to the fields to pick up wheat ears and corn... We have been doing these farm chores since we were young.
But you are different.
You grew up reading books, and you have delicate skin and tender flesh, so you are not cut out for hard work."
"Nonsense." The stubborn Xie Jiaojiao was a little unconvinced, "I hoeed a long section of the field this morning."
"How long?"
"Two or three meters."
Xie Jiaojiao had a stern face and looked very serious, but her raised eyebrows and the "I'm amazing" look in her eyes betrayed her.
“Puff.”
Seeing Xie Jiaojiao so cute, Jiang Ye couldn't help but chuckle.
"What are you laughing at?" Xie Jiaojiao was a little angry.
"I'm so happy that my daughter Jiaojiao is so great. I'm so lucky to have married such a capable and beautiful daughter-in-law."
"It's your blessing to marry me." Xie Jiaojiao said proudly.
"It's a must. Smoke is coming out of my ancestral graves."
After praising Xie Jiaojiao to appease her, Jiang Ye continued, "We need to work half an acre of land every day to get full work points."
"Half an acre of land?" Xie Jiaojiao had no idea about this.
"That's ten columns."
Xie Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment. When she came to her senses, she punched Jiang Ye in the chest with her little fist, "Are you kidding me?"
Before the fist landed on Jiang Ye, Jiang Ye grabbed it first and raised it up, "My hand doesn't hurt anymore."
"It hurts." Xie Jiaojiao kicked decisively, "But I'm even more angry."
What are two or three meters compared to ten rows, or several thousand meters?
Even a drizzle is too little.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry." Jiang Ye coaxed, "I really think Jiaojiao is great."
"You still say that!"
"Jiaojiao, it took us more than ten years to do this much farm work. You were able to do so much on your first try. That's really amazing."
Yes, it was her first time.
Xie Jiaojiao was successfully led astray by Jiang Ye and withdrew her hand.
"Jiaojiao, everyone is good at different things. We are good at farm work, and you are good at studying. You don't need to do the hard farm work, which is tiring and painful. There is no rule that you can only do farm work when you go to the countryside for construction, right?"
Xie Jiaojiao seemed to be thinking about something, and after a while she said, "You're right."
"Will you still go to work?"
"No."
"I want to study, take everyone to study together, and go to college."
"Studying for university?"
