Rainy days, braised food and TV really go well together, but now she has nothing. She can only eat the braised peanuts she brought from Yuncheng, and there are not many left. She really wants to eat spicy strips.

"Honey, is there anyone selling snacks at the school gate?"

"No, students usually eat the dates at the door, but that's gone now."

After hearing this, Xu Jiaojiao completely gave up. It seemed that students of this generation have not been invaded by junk food. She really didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

Xie Zhi paused while turning the pages of the book, frowning slightly: "Mom said she would make you braised meat for lunch today, the supply and marketing cooperative bought some spices."

Hearing that there was something delicious, Xu Jiaojiao's eyes lit up with joy. God knows that she is a person who can't live without spicy food. She got out of bed excitedly: "Okay, I'll go find mom now."

I put on my slippers and ran to the next door without even taking an umbrella. Fortunately, the courtyard wall and the eaves of the house were very deep.

Seeing Xu Yan and Xu Ze, the girl was stunned and asked in confusion: "Brother, you are not going to work today either."

"Today is the weekend, my dear sister."

She nodded, looked at the two people and wondered what they were thinking about, and ran straight to the kitchen. Sure enough, she saw her mother cutting meat and hugging Yan Fenglian's waist affectionately.

She said coquettishly, "Mom, I really love you. You don't know how much I like spicy food. I'm almost sick of eating candy all day long."

"I'm greedy for pleasure. I don't even like sugar. What do you want to eat?"

"Of course I want to eat the braised meat made by mom." The girl said kindly, watching the braised meat being cut piece by piece, her saliva was about to flow out.

Yan Fenglian doted on her daughter so much that she struggled on purpose and said unhappily, "Go get the chopsticks. I'll make you some dipping sauce later."

"good."

Xu Jiaojiao couldn't wait any longer, so she reached out with chopsticks. After taking a bite, the sweet taste stimulated her mouth and she kept secreting saliva. Then she ate another piece: "It's so delicious that she almost cried." This is the spicy taste.

"You used to be unable to eat anything spicy, but now you love it."

Xu Jiaojiao's expression froze for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure and said with a smile, "People change."

Sheng Jie lay weakly on the bed. He was caught in the rain for half the night and had a high fever this morning. Coupled with the cruelty that followed, Sheng's mother almost held back her tears as she applied medicine to her son.

Her only support, the most important person in her life, was ruined by those people.

The woman wiped his body several times, and the fever finally subsided. Then she fed him a bowl of millet porridge and said, "Son, be good at home. I'm going to the city to take a look."

Sheng Jie heard the heavy rain outside in a daze, and grabbed his mother's hand, saying weakly: "It's raining too hard outside, Mom, don't go."

"It's okay, Mom will go check it out."

Mother Sheng put on a plastic bag, a rain hat on her head, and went out along the slippery mountain road. Fortunately, few people noticed her along the way. If she was seen, she would just say she was out for a walk.

The flat mountain road after the rain was now full of mud and water, which flowed everywhere and was extremely easy to slip. Fortunately, she was fat and took every step steadily. She walked in the direction closest to the cliff, where rocks were extremely likely to fall. But she couldn't care less.

It was unknown how long it had been when they arrived at the county town. The rain outside showed no sign of stopping. There were very few people on the streets, and most of them were closed in their shops. Sheng's mother walked towards the houses deep in the alley, and saw that the house that was originally at the bottom of the alley had long disappeared.

There were a lot of people gathered along the way, and those who wanted to go in were stopped with cloth. No one knew whether a second landslide would occur.

"Fortunately there's not many people inside."

"There's no one there. Don't those beggars live there?"

“I don’t know if he escaped.”

"Oh, stop talking, let's go."

The woman hurriedly pulled the man who was about to leave, put on a flattering smile, and rubbed her hands: "Comrades, what happened to this house? Where did the people inside go? Why are those people just watching and no one is digging?"

The man saw that she was covered in mud and guessed that she had come here from the mountain road. "The thunder last night struck the tree and hit the house. Then half of the mountain collapsed. Besides, how could there be no rescue? The mud that was dug up from above has come down again. If they don't run fast, they will be buried. Now we can only keep people away."

The people around him all spoke with some regret.

"Fortunately, there are only beggars inside, so it doesn't matter if they die."

Sheng's mother was called Wanhong. She was the child bride of Sheng Jie's father. She came to the Sheng family when she was five years old. But she was unlucky. Her husband died when her son was just born. Even her parents-in-law didn't like her.

Wan Hong managed to raise her son with all her strength and he has grown into what he is today.

When the woman got the news, her head was stunned and she didn't react for a long time. When she came to her senses, she had already left this place. She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, thinking those beasts deserved it, they didn't even have an intact body.

When they walked along the mountain road, they fell almost every few steps. Their faces were covered in yellow mud and their back and waist ached terribly, but Wanhong kept laughing, laughing loudly.

In the end, he even sat in the mud and played like a child, muttering, "God is really helping my son. Ah, this time it's the ancestors showing their power."

"Brother, are you blessing our son?"

Wan Hong jogged all the way, running madly in the rain. She felt her heart beating uncontrollably, and in the next second it was about to break through the constraints of her flesh and jump out of her chest.

When Sheng Jie woke up, his mother was standing in front of him, smelling of mud. He didn't know how long she had been there. She was laughing horribly, "Son, the house was washed away by the mudslide, and the bodies of those people could not be found."

Sheng Jie felt a chill in his heart, followed by great joy. He laughed, but cried again the next second: "Mom, I finally don't have to be threatened by them anymore."

"Yes, we are finally liberated. You better keep this matter to yourself." Wan Hong advised worriedly.

After the rain these days, what can be left?

Xie Zhi summarized the questions he had collected and copied them onto a piece of white paper. The girl sat beside him, biting her pen in confusion, "Honey, can you find a few cases for me? I've almost forgotten them all."

The man nodded without denying, turned the textbook to the right place and circled it. The girl looked at it carefully. In fact, she remembered all the questions, but she had forgotten the formulas for most of them. She would be able to do it after just one look at the examples.

There were five questions in total. Xu Jiaojiao quickly wrote down the five questions on paper by comparing them with the example questions. Her handwriting was neat and beautiful. Xie Zhi carefully read her problem-solving steps and calculation drafts.

The more I look at it, the more satisfied I am. With the girl's current foundation, there will be no problem for her to cope with the college entrance examination. As long as she makes a concerted effort, it will be easy for her to be admitted to a first-class university. In addition, Jiaojiao's English is good, which will become an advantage.
