Xiaoyu just stood there without moving. When I approached her, I found that she was shaking.
Tian Xiaolan hugged her and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I didn't mean to be mean to you. I was just afraid that the crab would pinch you."
Xiaoyu still didn't say anything and just stood there. Tian Xiaolan was at a loss for a moment.
After a while she started crying. Tian Xiaolan didn't know how to comfort the child. She patted her back, hoping she could calm down on her own.
After crying for a while, she stopped and started to hiccup uncontrollably. Tian Xiaolan became anxious when she saw this.
I covered her ears with my hands, but it didn't work. Then I said to her, "Just listen to me. When I tell you to exhale, you exhale. When I tell you to inhale, you inhale. That's how you stop hiccuping, okay?"
"Hiccup~"
Without further ado, Tian Xiaolan said to her, "Breathe in, stop, don't exhale."
After a few seconds, I told her: "You can vomit now, come again."
After repeating this several times, Xiaoyu stopped hiccuping and Tian Xiaolan was no longer so anxious. Fortunately, she remembered a little trick she saw in Xiaomou's book.
"Sister, I'm glad I have you." Before, she couldn't stop the hiccups, and she had to wait until the hiccups were over because her head was hurting from the hiccups.
"It's okay, you're not angry anymore, are you?"
Xiaoyu shook her head and looked at the crab eagerly.
Usually, grandpa rarely catches crabs for her, saying that eating them is bad for the body. But when Sister Tian comes, he can catch a lot of crabs, and she is really happy.
Zhu Zhi had almost caught all the fish, so he came up, picked up the basin and walked back, followed by Tian Xiaolan and Xiaoyu.
"Sister, shall we eat crabs tonight?"
"Yes, how about steamed ones?" She didn't have any chili peppers at home, so she could see if there were any on the roadside.
Xiaoyu: "Okay."
“It’s delicious when steamed, too.”
When they returned home, Tian Xiaolan poured some water into a basin to leave some breathing space for them.
After resting for a while, I looked at the water tank and found that the water was almost empty.
"Uncle Zhu, could you please fetch some water?"
There is no water pump here, so we can only carry water.
"good."
He happened to see where the well was, so he picked up the bucket and went out to fetch water, otherwise he would have no water to drink at night.
After he had filled the water tank several times, Tian Xiaolan was playing with Xiaoyu. He came back and said to Tian Xiaolan, "Please boil some hot water for me so I can take a bath."
"good."
She poured some water in, then added more fire and waited for the water to boil slowly.
Tian Xiaolan glanced at Xiaoyu, boiled water for them and prepared to take a bath.
After Zhu Zhi finished washing, the water in the pot was almost boiled, and then she added a basin of warm water.
"Go find some clothes first."
After Xiaoyu found some clothes, Tian Xiaolan said, "You can take a bath by yourself, right?"
"I can."
After handing the basin to her, Tian Xiaolan felt at ease to process the crabs. She rinsed the crabs with clean water and cut the ginger into slices.
After Xiaoyu finished washing, she scooped out the water in the pot first, then added appropriate amount of water to the pot, put in ginger slices and green onion segments, and placed the crab belly facing up in the steamer to prevent the crab roe from flowing out.
The place for taking a shower is next to the toilet. I prepared some clean clothes and quickly rubbed the mud off my body. I hadn't washed much in such a long time since I came here, and I was almost covered in mud.
After washing, I came out and saw Xiaoyu standing in the kitchen looking at the crabs in the pot.
Tian Xiaolan told her: "It's not healed yet, you can't touch it, you will burn your hands."
Xiaoyu still nodded.
Tian Xiaolan felt that although Xiaoyu was not talkative, she was still very well behaved. Everyone had different personalities, and she did not force her to say more, as long as she felt comfortable.
The water in the pot was bubbling, and the crabs on the steamer lid were still running around, trying to get out. Xiaoyu stood there watching to prevent them from running away.
After a while, a few little boys came running over, yelling, "You outsiders, why are you grabbing our crabs? They are all ours, why are you snatching them from little kids? You are so shameless!"
Tian Xiaolan laughed out loud after hearing a few words: "Yours? Then shout and see if it responds. If it responds, I'll give it back to you."
The fat boy in the lead put his hands on his hips, looking unconvinced. "If I say it's mine, it's mine. If you don't give it back, I'll call my dad to beat you up!"
"Oh? Your dad is?"
"My dad is Fang Dagang! Are you scared?" The child thought her father's name was very domineering and would definitely scare her to death.
Tian Xiaolan pretended to cover her chest and said, "I'm so scared! I was just kidding. I just wanted to find your dad. Where do you live?"
Unexpectedly, this person spoke as if he knew his father, but he had never met him, so he was definitely not a relative, so he was not afraid.
"Just keep bragging! You're almost blowing the cow out of the sky."
Seeing that he didn't believe her, Tian Xiaolan didn't say much and just blocked the door to prevent them from entering.
"If you don't return it, I'm going to take action!" He still didn't believe that he couldn't defeat two women even with so many people.
Tian Xiaolan shouted, "Uncle Zhu, help me!"
Zhu Zhi was sleeping in the room. When he heard Tian Xiaolan's cry, he turned over and got up. He found several boys holding sticks at the door. They looked like they were looking for trouble. How long had they been there? How did he offend them?
Zhu Zhi asked, "What are you doing here?"
"The crabs you caught are ours, please give them back to us quickly!" The little boy looked at the man in front of him and felt that he could not beat him, so he suppressed his arrogance.
"Yes, we have raised it for a long time."
"Give it to us quickly."
Zhu Zhi was speechless because of this. "Yours? When did things in the wild become yours?"
"It was originally ours, and no one usually catches it."
Xiaoyu whispered behind Tian Xiaolan: "No, that one is wild."
"Yeah, we know." Tian Xiaolan said to Xiaoyu, "Your father is my uncle, you know? In terms of seniority, I'm still your cousin! Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you this. I'll come find her later."
The little boy listened to her and thought it sounded very real, but he didn't have such a relative! Where did she come from? "Bah, I think you just want to get close to my family and say you are my cousin. You shameless bastard, you just want to eat my crabs."
Tian Xiaolan decided to dampen his arrogance: "We caught it, and you said it was yours. You are so shameless. Now the land you are standing on is Xiaoyu's land, pay up!"
"Why should I pay? I won't! What can you do to me?"
"Nothing can happen. Just wait."
Zhu Zhi urged, "Hurry up and leave, or someone will come looking for you from your family."
The little boy thought she was targeting him and said it was his relative. Bullshit! She must be trying to play a trick on him. He had been talking to her for so long but she still didn't take it back. Now there was a tall man over there.
Even if they tried to force it, they couldn't get it back, so they had to give up and leave with their men. He would wait for an opportunity to deal with them.
