Chapter 4 The daughter-in-law's drowned daughter (4)
"Dad, are you back?"
Jiang Hongxiu looked behind Jiang Fugui with a hint of nervousness on her face, only to see her own mother following behind her in the distance, with no one else around. A hint of disappointment suddenly appeared on her face.
Jiang Fugui didn't have a good face when he kissed his daughter, but when he faced his stepdaughter Jiang Hongxiu, his tense face relaxed obviously. He stopped and nodded to her, which was considered a sign of respect.
Shi Jiang was feeling dizzy and uncomfortable as he was being pulled along by Jiang Fugui. When he saw him stop, he steadied his steps and used a clever move to free his hand from Jiang Fugui's palm.
However, before she could check whether her wrist was swollen, she saw hurried footsteps behind her, and Shi Jiang subconsciously stepped aside.
When Liu Xiaocao saw Shi Jiang being dragged into his yard by the owner, he quickly dodged in, closed the door and fastened a stick, and then rushed towards Shi Jiang's back.
Those five fingers are like claws. If you were to grab the hair on your head, you could probably pull off a lot of it.
Unfortunately, Shi Jiang escaped.
Liu Xiaocao suddenly fell into the air, staggered forward, and fell into Jiang Fugui's arms because Shi Jiang broke away from his grasp.
Jiang Fugui was completely unprepared. Liu Xiaocao used all his strength and was thrown to the ground by her. Although Liu Xiaocao's body was not strong, it was not a thin one. His weight plus his momentum
, which directly made Jiang Fugui’s eyes roll out.
"It's a clip-on floating cabinet, don't let anything spill inside!"
When Liu Xiaocao saw Jiang Fugui roll his eyes, he didn't care about looking for trouble again, and shook Jiang Fugui vigorously with his tongue to prevent him from fainting.
Jiang Hongxiu was also frightened by this sudden scene, her eyes widened and her face turned pale.
"Mom, don't shake dad like this, he's going to vomit."
Jiang Fugui was being shaken dizzy by Liu Xiaocao. He was not knocked out at first, but now he was almost knocked out.
Fortunately, although Jiang Hongxiu panicked for a moment, she immediately stopped her mother from doing this.
Liu Xiaocao was already at a loss for words at this moment. Seeing her daughter say this, her shaking hands suddenly stopped.
"Sister, go and boil some water quickly and let Dad drink the hot water to feel better."
After Jiang Hongxiu calmed down, she directly ordered Shi Jiang who was standing aside, then helped Liu Xiaocao lift Jiang Fugui and headed towards the main house.
After hearing what she said, Shi Jiang didn't even refute, and walked directly towards the kitchen in his memory.
It is said to be a kitchen, but in fact there is no food in it, there is only a cupboard standing next to the wall.
There are two wooden doors on top of this cabinet, with a layer of gauze nailed inside. This prevents ants from crawling in through the gap in the middle, and also ensures that the food inside can be ventilated without getting stale.
.
There is no door below, but there are horizontal wooden strips. The intervals are not too large, and the bowls can be stuck on top by being placed upside down. The washed bowls are placed upside down to facilitate the water traces in the bowls to drain away.
On the left side of the cabinet is a stove with two iron pots, and next to the stove is a water tank that only two people can surround. The water in it was picked up from the river early in the morning by Shi Jiang.
Looking at the full tank of water, Shi Jiang sneered. Don't say she had memory. Even if she didn't have memory, as long as she wasn't a fool, she would know that the things her stepmother said before that she couldn't understand were all lies.
If you really can’t think about it, it’s necessary to fetch water early in the morning without causing any trouble, but you have to wait until after fetching water to dig wild vegetables?
Shi Jiang thought of everything in her memory. Since she was still alive now, she would no longer live like before, nor would she become an insignificant recollection in other people's mouths like she did in her memory.
Shi Jiang poured two ladles of cold water into the pot, closed the lid, and lit the fire according to the method in his memory.
Then he walked to the cupboard, reached out and turned the small locks on the two wooden doors.
Liu Xiaocao got this lock from her parents' house. After all, iron is a precious thing nowadays.
Shi Jiang's mind wandered a little, and he looked around the room, and then his eyes lit up.
I saw a piece of wire about five or six centimeters long on the ground, which must have been hung from a piece of wood that Shi Jiang had picked up somewhere before.
The wood was split and burned to ashes, leaving only a small piece of wire originally hanging on the wood. If Shi Jiang hadn't been useful, no one would have cared.
Shi Jiang took the iron wire, folded it in half, and twisted it with his hands, twisting the originally thin and soft wire into two strands so that the wire would not bend so easily when held.
At that time, Jiang used such a small piece of wire to crack the Iron General hanging on the cupboard. Jiang himself was still a little confused.
Holding the lock in one hand, he couldn't help but scratch his scalp with the other hand.
She herself didn't understand why she was so skilled.
You know, in the memories she received, she had never done this kind of work.
Shi Jiang only thought about it for half a minute and then forgot about the matter.
Unfortunately, when she opened the cupboard excitedly, she was surprised by the three things in the cupboard.
There were three bowls inside, and one bowl contained porridge, which must have been leftover from the unfinished meal in the morning.
There was some gruel left that was not finished, and Liu Xiaocao even deducted her food.
The other bowl was of pickled garlic, only half a bowl, which must have been specially set aside for breakfast in the morning.
Seeing this thing, Shi Jiang couldn't help but cover his nose. The smell was comparable to biological and chemical weapons.
No wonder Liu Xiaocao smelled like garlic when he opened his mouth to speak just now.
With that look, Jiang Fugui couldn't even see or smell her. He really loved her.
The last bowl contained half a small bowl of soybeans. It was easy to fart when eating this, but Jiang Xiaobao liked to eat it, so Liu Xiaocao would stir-fry some for Jiang Xiaobao from time to time.
These three things, except the bowl of pickled garlic, the other two bowls were quickly taken out by Shi Jiang.
Just as the water in the pot was boiling, Shi Jiang took a large bowl, scooped out most of the hot water, put it aside the stove, and waited until it cooled down before drinking.
Then put the steaming rack hanging on the wall on the steaming pot, and put the bowl of porridge on it to steam and heat.
The rice grains in the gruel are very thin, and you can count them clearly in the bowl.
But this soup with grains is definitely much better than boiled water.
After drinking the bowl of porridge and the bowl of water that he scooped out before, Shi Jiang felt that his stomach finally felt warm.
Shi Jiang casually put out the fire on the stove and poured all the soybeans into his pocket, leaving only two empty and clean bowls and the cupboard door swaying in the wind.
After doing this, she left the kitchen and walked directly towards the side room where she remembered she lived. After entering the room, she even blocked the door bolt with her backhand.
I finally woke up just now and my body is weak!
Now that I have a little bit of porridge water in my stomach, I need to lie down and have a good rest to regain my strength.
After waking up, there is still a tough battle to fight!
