Shen Mo had breakfast and cleaned up the kitchen before leaving.
Jiang Xing was also very satisfied with this aspect of him. She liked cooking and would make a mess in the kitchen, but she didn't like cleaning up at all.
After Shen Mo left, Jiang Xing was bored and practiced a set of Ba Duan Jin in the courtyard.
Just when I was halfway through the call, I heard someone knocking on the door, "Jiang Mei."
Jiang Xi recognized the voice of Mrs. Li from next door.
She said, "The door is not closed, sister-in-law, come in."
Mrs. Li pushed the door open and saw the shadow of the tree mottled by the sunlight.
Mrs. Li was dazzled, thinking that Shen Mo was so lucky to marry such a beautiful wife.
After coming to her senses, Li Sao walked over and asked curiously, "Jiang Mei, what are you doing?"
Jiang Xi just finished the last move and explained, "Ba Duan Jin can strengthen the body."
It was the first time that Mrs. Li heard such a statement, and she couldn't help but ask, "Can you keep fit just by playing around?"
Jiang Qi knew that traditional Chinese medicine was not very popular these days, so he forced his explanation and the other party probably understood, "It's just for fun."
"Look, I was talking to you and almost forgot what I'm doing here." Sister Li handed the preserved vegetable and pork pancake she had baked to Jiang Xing and said a little embarrassedly, "Sister Jiang, I didn't thank you for such a big bowl of meat yesterday. Here are the preserved vegetable and pork pancakes I made today. I put a lot of meat in them. Don't mind."
Jiang Xi took it and said, "No, if you give me some pickled mustard greens, I will make them too."
Sister Li was also generous and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law has plenty. Just come and get some after you finish eating. Don't be polite. I'll go fishing later and I'll send you one when I catch it."
Jiang Xi knows that people nowadays are simple and honest. There are also those who are extremely calculative and those who are willing to pay you back for what you do to me.
"Fishing?"
She was quite curious about what the other party was talking about fishing.
Mrs. Li nodded and said, "Yes, there is a stream here, and there are not many fish in it."
"Mrs. Li, I'll go with you."
I'm a bit bored right now.
Mrs. Li nodded and agreed happily, "Okay, I'll take you there and teach you. I'll get you an extra fishing net when I get back."
Mrs. Li went back to get the fishing net, and Jiang Gui got a bucket.
Jiang Xing carried the bucket and walked with Mrs. Li for about ten minutes until they arrived at the stream that Mrs. Li mentioned.
The long and winding stream flows from the rocks on the surface, forming a round waterfall. The stones are polished smooth by the stream. The stream water is bright and clear, like a transparent mirror that can clearly reflect the blue sky.
There are also people who go out to wash clothes.
Jiang Xing stood on the bank and watched Mrs. Li cast the net to a deeper place, and then waited by the water.
It was boring to wait by the water, so Jiang Xi said she wanted to go for a walk, and Mrs. Li reminded her to be careful.
Jiang Xi didn't plan to walk far, and just stared at the surface of the stream.
The stream water is now clear and clean, not polluted by the garbage piled up everywhere. There is a road next to it, which must have been carved out by humans.
Jiang Xi climbed along the road. There was a stream on the other side, and the stream meandered.
As soon as I crawled over, I saw four or five children taking a bath in the diving area above.
Jiang Xing was very upset, but luckily she had no intention of drinking wild water.
The stream is not deep but shallow, and it is quite dangerous to bathe in the stream. Just when I was about to ask those children to leave, I saw a group of taller and chubby children pushing a thinner child into the water.
He was still saying, "Give me the fish in your arms, and I'll kill you."
The children watching nearby were either silent or clapping and cheering.
Jiang Xing didn't expect that a child of such a young age could be so vicious. It was really like hell in the sky and devil in the world.
"Hey, what are you doing?!"
Jiang Xi scolded loudly.
She suddenly shouted and startled the children. They all looked in her direction, including the child who was pushed into the water by the big boy.
Jiang Xing's pupils shrank when he saw the child, "Zhiqi?!"
Zhiqi was all wet, his face was flushed, and his eyes were red and watery.
Seeing the child he taught being bullied like this, Jiang Hui felt extremely relieved and his expression immediately turned very ugly.
She was very angry when she saw this scene.
These children may be young, but is it appropriate for them to make such mistakes just because of their age?
Jiang Xi folded a bamboo stick and walked over.
The children saw that she was a kind person and wanted to run away immediately, but the only way they could go was the one Jiang Qingxiao came from.
When those kids walked past her, one of them pushed Jiang Xing, but Jiang Xing grabbed the back of his neck. He was the same kid who had just pressed Zhiqi's head.
She raised her hand and hit the boy's butt with the bamboo stick. "Who taught you to treat others like this? What if someone dies? Can you afford it? And you dare to push me, don't you have any manners?"
"Wuwuwu...Don't hit me, I'm going to tell mom, I'm going to tell grandma!"
The boy was struggling with his hands, his butt was burning with pain, and he cried bitterly.
Jiang Xing spanked him twice and then stopped. She was more worried about Zhiqi now. She had just seen with her own eyes that boy push Zhiqi into the water.
She also had some impression of this kid. This fat kid was also there when Zhiqi was bullied yesterday.
"Zhiqi, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere? Do they always bully you?"
Huo Zhiqi didn't expect to see Jiang Qi here, and even beat Wang Xiaotian for him.
In the past, when Wang Xiaotian and his friends beat him, he complained to Aunt Wang and Grandma Wang. Aunt Wang would just give him a candy and then scold Wang Xiaotian, while Grandma Wang would warn him not to tell Uncle Wang about this, otherwise she would not give him food.
He had never experienced the feeling of being cared for.
Huo Zhiqi looked at the expression on Jiang Xi's face when she was holding him, and his grievances suddenly exploded, but he held back his tears, "I, I'm fine."
Jiang Xi saw the wound on his arm and knew at a glance that he had been beaten. He was immediately furious and asked, "You tell me this is okay?"
"What are you doing here? Do you know that the waterside is dangerous?"
As he spoke, he took out his handkerchief to wipe the water stains off Zhiqi's body.
Huo Zhiqi lowered his head and said, "I'll catch the fish."
Jiang Xi frowned and was about to scold him.
Then I heard the guy say, "Sister, do you want to raise fish in your pond? I know there are some beautiful fish in this stream that can be raised in your pond."
Jiang Xi was so angry that the words he was about to say got stuck in his throat.
Looking down at the fish he was holding tightly in his arms.
Seven-star dragon fish.
An edible and ornamental fish.
The scales on the body are brightly colored, and the black spots and multiple sequins combine to form a unique and beautiful pattern.
Jiang Xing asked, "Why did you come here to catch fish for me?"
Huo Zhiqi nodded.
He grew up near water, so he is an excellent swimmer and can tell which side has deep water and which side has shallow water.
After seeing the pond at Sister Jiang and Uncle Shen's house yesterday, he wanted to go there to catch fish. It just so happened that he had seen a beautiful fish here before.
But he didn't expect Wang Xiaotian and his friends to skip class and come over with him, trying to steal his fish.
He had been living in Wang Xiaotian's house. After he was bullied for the first time and his complaint failed, he bullied him even more severely, calling him a bastard without a father or a mother and beating him.
He could endure all these, but the fish was for Sister Jiang, so he couldn't give it to her, so he was pushed into the water and bullied.
Huo Zhiqi observed Jiang Xi's expression, and seeing that Jiang Xi looked fine, he lowered his head and dared not say a word.
Even if Sister Jiang wanted to hit him, he would not say anything, after all, Wang Xiaotian was beaten so badly just now.
After waiting for a long time, Jiang Xi rubbed his head and said, "Thank you, Zhiqi, Sister Yu will take it."
