Shi Tou also sniffed it and said, "It seems so. It does have the aroma of meat, like pork. My grandma gave me a piece of it half a month ago. It was so delicious." After saying this, Shi Tou smacked his lips, savoring the delicious taste of the pork.
Jiang Shushu: "..." I only grilled about ten slices of meat. How can your nose be so sharp? You can still remember the smell of meat from half a month ago?
"Where does the smell of meat come from? You two want to eat meat, right?" Anyway, they didn't see it, so he would admit it himself.
Goudan said unconvincedly: "I have a very good nose. My mother always says that my nose is like a dog's nose and can smell everything. This is clearly the smell of meat. I am not wrong." My aunt said that I can do everything, so how can you say that my nose is not good enough? This is my specialty, and my whole family praises it.
Jiang Shushu: “…” She is really your biological mother.
These two brats are hard to fool. I have to think of a way. Otherwise, if they come back to the village and start making noises, I'll be embarrassed. I'll probably become famous in Jiangjia Village. Oh, I can't eat meat at home. I've been hiding in the mountains, but it's still not peaceful. I just want to eat meat, right? Why is it like a spy movie? It's full of twists and turns.
"Goudan, you really do have a keen nose. I didn't expect you could still smell the smell after such a long time. You're really amazing..."
Before Jiang Shushu could finish her words, Goudan interrupted her, "Aunt Shushu, have you been hiding in the mountains to eat meat secretly? You've been eating alone without telling Grandpa Wuzu and Grandma Wuzu?" Goudan frowned, then lectured her seriously, "Aunt Shushu, this is wrong. My father always says that good things should be enjoyed by the whole family. How can you eat alone? This is very naughty and you deserve a spanking."
Shitou also echoed: "Goudan is right. My father also said that we should respect our elders. Good things are better when the whole family enjoys them. It is wrong to eat alone."
Jiang Shushu: "..." This life is unbearable. I'm being lectured by two little brats who are only eight years old. What's wrong with me eating a little food all to myself? Don't I have a legitimate reason to give it to them? It's not like I won't give them food in the future? ...Stop thinking about this nonsense. Let's deal with these two little brats first.
Jiang Shushu stretched out her right hand, "Stop, what are you two talking about? Am I that kind of person? How could I possibly eat alone? I just saw a nest of black ants here. Their bites are painful and itchy. I saw that you kids usually like to play in the mountains. You were afraid that they would bite you, so you set fire to it. The meaty aroma you smell must be left by the burning ants." Anyway, she had been standing there for so long that there was no smell anymore, so she could just say what she said it was.
Goudan was puzzled. "Isn't this the smell of burning ants?"
This little guy is quite serious. If I say it is, it is true.
"It's not that smell? What else could it be? Besides, I've been working every day lately, and no one in my family has been to the city. Where would I get the meat? Can I, your aunt, conjure up meat out of thin air? Look at my lips and teeth, are they greasy?" Jiang Shushu bared her big white teeth at the two little guys. She thought to herself, if they still didn't believe her, she'd have to breathe on them to let them smell it. After all, she hadn't even eaten the meat yet, so she wasn't afraid of being exposed.
The two little guys really stared at Jiang Shushu seriously, and only after they confirmed that there was no oil on her lips and teeth did they finally believe what Jiang Shushu said.
"Aunt Shushu, I'm sorry, we misunderstood you just now."
I finally believed it, it was not easy.
"It's okay, go have fun." Hurry up! I haven't even taken a bite of those four skewers of barbecue yet. The kids are so sensitive to smoke, I'm afraid to start a fire myself. It would be hard to explain if I did it again, but I have to eat those four skewers of barbecue! So, you two, hurry up!
Goudan thought that he had wronged Aunt Shushu and that he had to do something to make amends. "Aunt Shushu, what are you doing in the back mountain? Is there anything I can help you with?"
"I'm here to pick some plums. There's nothing much you can do for me. Go and have fun.
When Goudan heard this, he knew he was good at picking plums, so he patted his chest proudly and said, "Auntie Shushu, I'm good at picking plums. I'll help you pick them."
Stone: "I can do it too. I'll help too."
Jiang Shushu: "..." I don't need your help, I just want you to leave quickly, I just want to eat some meat.
Jiang Shushu glanced into the distance and found some children in the distance, so he quickly said: "No need, just go and play! Your friends are still waiting for you." So let's go quickly.
Goudan suddenly realized what was going on. He then put his hands to his mouth, calmed his breath, and shouted, "It's okay. Come here quickly. Let's help me pick plums together."
Then four children in the distance ran towards Jiang Shushu hand in hand.
Jiang Shushu: "..." I wanted to send you two away, but you ended up bringing in four more. Jiangjia Village is the biggest obstacle to my beautiful life, God! If you don't like me, just say so. Why are you torturing me like this?
In the end, Jiang Shushu could only put on a forced smile and take a group of little kids to pick plums.
The process of picking plums turned into a series of "100,000 Whys". Before Jiang Shushu finished answering one child's question, another child's question came up, which made Jiang Shushu very tired.
Jiang Shushu thought, "I can't go on like this. How can I let a bunch of little brats lead me around like that?" He had to take the initiative. So, Jiang Shushu deliberately started a conversation, leading the kids to talk about the village. As they talked, the kids couldn't stop, spilling all the secrets they knew. Jiang Shushu listened with rapt attention, and the frustration of not being able to eat meat completely disappeared.
As expected, talking to yourself is not as interesting as listening to gossip.
After picking the plums, because Jiang Shushu had patiently listened to them for so long, Goudan and the other children felt that they still hadn't had enough, so they escorted Jiang Shushu home. Because of this, Jiang Shushu didn't have the chance to eat the four skewers of barbecue in the space.
Arriving at Jiang Shushu's door, Goudan said with a smile: "Goodbye, Aunt Shushu. I'll come and play with you next time."
Other children: "Aunt Shushu/Aunt Shushu, goodbye."
"Goodbye, be careful when you go home." Having heard so many secrets, Jiang Shushu was quite friendly towards the intelligence officer.
Who said that rural children's eyes shone with a kind of foolish clarity? That was sheer nonsense. Every one of them was a know-it-all. From their ancestors to their peers, there was nothing they didn't know. Every one of them was a prime candidate for intelligence.
