After rebirth, my childhood friend became a clingy person
Chapter 18 Digging bamboo shoots
18
Jiang Yuechu had a rare good sleep.
When she woke up, it was already daybreak. She quickly got up, washed up, and went to the kitchen.
Breakfast was heating in the pot, but there was no sign of Jiang Yannan.
Jiang Yuechu could only eat breakfast first. After she finished eating and cleaned up, she finally saw the figure of the young man, walking towards home carrying a bundle of firewood.
"Brother, why are you going out so early?" She quickly opened the gate and unloaded the firewood from his back.
"I got up early and went to collect some firewood when I had nothing to do."
Seeing the dark circles under Jiang Yannan's eyes, Jiang Yuechu swallowed back what he wanted to say and just silently piled the firewood he had collected in the woodshed.
"Brother, Chunyan and I will go to the mountain to dig bamboo shoots later."
"Well, be careful then!"
After finishing everything, Jiang Yuechu carried the bamboo basket on his back and walked towards Aunt Zhang's house.
"Aunt Zhang, is Yan Zi here?"
"Yes..." Before Aunt Zhang could reply, Chunyan had already run out of the house with an embarrassed smile on her face.
"Sister Yuechu, I'm sorry, I can't go with you to dig bamboo shoots today. My eldest sister came to tell me last night that she is going to give birth in the next two days. My mother asked me to go and see her today. I guess I will have to stay there for a few days."
"It's okay, come and find me when you're free when you come back! Aunt Zhang, I'll be leaving first!" After saying that, he waved to Aunt Zhang and the others and left.
"Come over and play if you have nothing to do!" Aunt Zhang's loud voice came from behind.
"okay……"
Jiang Yuechu remembered that there was a bamboo forest in the east, so they could go there and take a look first.
The morning passed quickly and Jiang Yuechu entered the village carrying a bamboo basket.
She wiped the sweat off her face. Digging winter bamboo shoots was much harder than she had imagined. She only dug a dozen kilograms in the whole morning. She had to think of a way...
Jiang Yuechu returned home and sat in a chair to rest for a long time before his sore arms recovered a little.
"elder brother……"
No one answered. It seemed that he had gone to collect firewood again.
She ate something to fill her stomach, and because she was too tired, she went back to her room and had a good sleep.
When I woke up, the sky outside seemed to have darkened. The weather was bad today, and it was gloomy all the time. Although it has been so long, I still can't get used to the days without a mobile phone or a watch. I wonder what time it is now?
Jiang Yuechu lay in bed, thinking about it but not wanting to move. In fact, the bed was not very warm, and the water in the glass bottle had long been cold. Her physique was cold, and her whole body was cold in winter. The bed was always cold, and it was not very comfortable to sleep. But, she just didn't want to move.
She wrapped herself in the quilt again and again, but in just a short while, her feet were cold again. She didn’t know when this kind of day would end…
This damn winter!!!
"Yue'er...are you awake?" Jiang Yannan's voice came from outside the door.
"Wake up, get up now!"
Jiang Yuechu could only crawl out of the cold bed with no hope in life. In fact, getting up was probably better than sleeping in this bed, but it was very difficult to get up.
She quickly put on her clothes. The winter cotton-padded jacket and cotton pants made her look bloated, a typical country girl. But no matter how ugly she looked, it was better than being cold.
Jiang Yuechu shrank her neck and walked out of the room. Jiang Yannan couldn't help but laugh when he saw her like that. "Go to the kitchen quickly. I've already lit the charcoal pot."
Jiang Yuechu didn't hesitate and ran to the kitchen. There was a smell of roasted sweet potatoes. She sat in front of the charcoal basin, took out the fire tongs and dug in the charcoal fire. Sure enough, she saw a ripe sweet potato. Just as she was about to pick it up, she heard the boy's nervous voice from behind: "Be careful, it's hot..."
What a crow's mouth...
Jiang Yuechu put her scalded red fingers into her mouth and glared at Jiang Yannan who had just entered the kitchen.
Jiang Yannan: ...
【Baby is really wronged】
The boy sat opposite her, carefully pushed the sweet potato aside, waited until it cooled down a little, then picked it up, peeled it, and handed it to her.
Jiang Yuechu didn't hesitate to take it and took a bite. The taste was lingering in his mouth. It's not impossible to live like this...
Looking at the satisfied expression of the girl opposite him, Jiang Yannan's heart seemed to be filled with joy. If he could see her smile like this forever, he felt that such days would be enough.
After eating sweet potatoes, my whole heart seemed to warm up.
Jiang Yuechu glanced outside, feeling worried: "It looks like it's going to snow!"
"Well, it will probably rain tonight!"
"What time is it now?"
"About three or four o'clock!"
Jiang Yuechu was extremely depressed. Winter bamboo shoots were already difficult to dig, and if it snowed, the soil would be frozen, making it even more difficult to dig.
We have to find a way to make money. Otherwise, when Jiang Yannan is admitted to university next year, where will he get the tuition?
Don’t think about it anymore. There’s no point in thinking about it!
"Brother, let's have a snack tonight. I'll cook you a delicious dish. Do you have any meat at home?"
"There should be some left from what I bought last time..." Jiang Yannan stood up and took down the basket hanging on the corridor. There was a piece of pork, a few potatoes, and a dozen eggs in it.
He took out the pork, thought for a while, and then took out two eggs.
After walking around the kitchen and finding no vegetables, he went to the vegetable garden. Since he only came back to take care of it once a week, he only planted some radishes and cabbages. Some of the cabbages had already grown hearts.
He pulled out some radishes, picked some cabbage hearts, and went back to the kitchen.
Jiang Yuechu was already processing the bamboo shoots she had dug up. After blanching the bamboo shoots, she cut the pork belly into slices, stir-fried them in a pan, then poured the processed bamboo shoots into the pan, stir-fried them a few times and served them.
Then they cut some more meat, stewed some radish, and finally fried an egg. Two people and three dishes, they hadn't had such a sumptuous dinner for a long time!
Jiang Yuechu put some bamboo shoots into Jiang Yannan's bowl and asked, "How does this taste?"
Jiang Yannan took a bite and found it fresh, tender and tasty. He looked puzzled: "Is this bamboo shoot?"
"Well, yes, how does it taste?" Jiang Yuechu looked at him expectantly.
"It's delicious, and tastes different from what I've had before!" Jiang Yannan gave a lot of praise.
"That's good. I will deliver these winter bamboo shoots to Ma Ge's restaurant tomorrow. They will definitely like it." Jiang Yannan's words gave Jiang Yuechu great confidence.
"Then I'll go with you tomorrow!"
"No need, you're going to take the college entrance exam soon, so just stay home and study hard. I can take Uncle Minfa's ox cart directly to the town! If Brother Ma likes it, I'll continue to dig winter bamboo shoots tomorrow!"
The young man who had such gentle features just now suddenly turned cold and stopped talking. He just ate his meal in silence.
