Jiang Wanwan paused in her actions, looked up at him with a half-smile, and said, "Isn't it too late to ask now?"
Jiang Xun choked, realizing that he was acting somewhat strangely.
They didn't even ask her what she wanted to do, and they just came to help her like crazy. What kind of behavior is that?
That's not like him at all!
It's definitely not because she fed him meat, it absolutely isn't!
Jiang Wanwan said, "Come here and help me coil them up."
"Okay!" Jiang Xun grinned, showing off his bright white teeth.
Without thinking much, he happily walked over and, imitating Jiang Wanwan, started making mosquito coils.
Jiang Wanwan started tinkering with a second type of mosquito coil.
Following the proportions in the book, weigh out the charcoal powder, mugwort powder, elm incense powder, and rosin powder. Then add an appropriate amount of water, stir slowly, and finally knead into a dough.
After rolling out the mosquito coil with a wooden stick, cut it into strips with a wood-chopping knife, and finally have Jiang Xun help to coil it into the shape of a modern mosquito coil.
After finishing the second type of mosquito coil, Jiang Wanwan started making the first type.
After weighing out the charcoal powder, mugwort powder, peppermint powder, and elm powder, proceed with the preparation process as described above.
Soon, all three types of mosquito coils were ready; all that was needed was to dry them.
To better distinguish them, Jiang Wanwan borrowed a brush from Jiang Liu and marked them one by one.
Seeing that the sun was shining brightly today and the chances of rain were slim, Jiang Wanwan confidently picked up her basket and prepared to go up the mountain.
Just thinking about the uncooked pig's stomach in the deep well made Jiang Wanwan's mouth water uncontrollably.
Pork tripe and chicken soup is the best!
No matter what, we must hunt two pheasants today!
With that thought in mind, Jiang Wanwan picked up her basket and quickly left the yard.
Seeing this, Jiang Xun also carried a basket on his back and followed quickly.
Jiang Wanwan stopped and glared at Jiang Xun. "What are you doing here?"
She didn't want Jiang Xun, this burden, to come along, as that would be detrimental to her underhanded operations!
"Going up the mountain to dig for wild vegetables and pick mushrooms," Jiang Xun replied.
“Go home and look after the things in the yard. Those things are very important; they determine whether our family will continue to live on coarse food or eat rice and meat.”
"What! It's that important! Then you can go up the mountain without worry, I'll go home and watch over them." With that, Jiang Xun dashed back home, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Even Jiang Xun himself couldn't understand why he trusted Jiang Wanwan so much.
Is it trust earned through meals of meat and rice?
Jiang Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief and took a step forward.
"Quick, Jiang Wanwan is going up the mountain. Let's follow her." The women who were hiding in the courtyard spying on Jiang Wanwan called to their daughters to follow her from a distance.
Yesterday, when many families saw the dozens of eggs and two wild rabbits in Jiang Wanwan's basket, they had their eyes on them.
"Mom, Jiang Wanwan went up the mountain, and many aunties went with her. Let's hurry and go with her too." Jiang Zhuzhu peeked out furtively, watching Jiang Wanwan's figure disappear into the distance, looking a little anxious.
"Coming, coming!" Zhang Cuihua, carrying a basket on her back, was about to rush out.
Both of their eyes could see again, but they still felt a burning pain and were a little red.
Upon hearing the commotion, Jiang Tietou immediately rushed out of the main room.
He said in a harsh voice, "You two stop right there! Don't you think we've already paid enough? If it weren't for you two, would we have had to pay so much money? Haven't you learned your lesson? You still dare to mess with that brat Jiang Wanwan!"
The village chief has already said that if we continue to cause trouble, he'll expel our family from Dashui Village!
