After rebirth, my childhood friend became a clingy person

6

The two of them quickly reached home. Even though Jiang Yuechu didn't do much, the scorching sun in the summer was unbearable. Both of them had sweat all over their faces, and their clothes were already soaked with sweat.

As soon as I got home, I ran to the patio and fetched some water from the well. I used a ladle to scoop some and drank two big gulps. Then I sat under the apricot tree to enjoy the cool air.

"Brother, come here quickly and cool down!"

"Got it, I'll pack my things!"

After a while, the boy walked towards her while wiping the sweat from his face.

Jiang Yuechu handed over the towel in his hand. Jiang Yannan took it and wiped the sweat off his face. He was about to scoop some well water to drink, but the girl next to him grabbed the water.

"Brother, you can't drink raw water. There's some boiled water in the teacup on the kitchen table that I dried this morning. Bring it and drink it!"

Jiang Yannan slowly put down the ladle and glanced at her: "Who was the one who drank the raw water just now?"

Jiang Yuechu smiled awkwardly: "Hehe, it was too hot when I came back, so I didn't think about it. After taking a break, my mind suddenly became clear!"

The two were chatting when a familiar girl's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Sister Yuechu, are you home?"

Jiang Yuechu quickly opened the door: "Chunyan, why are you here? Come in quickly, it's so hot outside!"

"My mother asked me to get you some watermelon. I came here several times this morning, but you were not at home!" Zhang Chunyan said as she walked in, holding two large pieces of watermelon in her hands.

"Aunt Zhang, you are so polite. Watermelon is such a rare thing, you can keep it for yourselves."

Jiang Yuechu really felt embarrassed. Ever since her father passed away, she and her brother had been taken care of by Aunt Zhang's family.

"Sister Yuechu, please stop being so distant with us. I heard from my mom that if my uncle hadn't sent me to the hospital in time and paid for our medical expenses, I would have been reincarnated now!"

"Kid, you are so outspoken and dare to say anything!" Jiang Yuechu patted her on the back when he heard her words.

"Hehe... I only dare to say this in front of you. If my mom hears it, I'll probably get a beating!"

"Then you better be careful. Be careful not to talk too much. If you say something wrong in front of your mother one day, you will be in trouble!"

As they were talking, they soon came to the patio, and Chunyan gave a piece of watermelon to Jiang Yuechu and Jiang Yannan respectively.

Jiang Yuechu didn't hesitate and started eating. In this weather, being able to eat a piece of watermelon really makes life complete.

Jiang Yannan couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable when he saw her contented look.

In the past few years, he couldn't make much money and could only live frugally. Although Jiang Yuechu was a little spoiled sometimes, she never made trouble for no reason and never got angry when she didn't eat well. The little girl who was spoiled by her adoptive father seemed to have grown up the moment her adoptive father passed away.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yannan's eyes gradually turned red, and he could only lower his head and slowly eat the watermelon.

"No, I got up too early this morning. I'm going to sleep for a while. Brother, don't call me for lunch!" Jiang Yuechu stood up and walked towards the room. After thinking for a while, he turned to look at Jiang Yannan and said, "By the way, brother, next time you call me, just knock on the door. I can hear you!"

Jiang Yannan looked at the figure getting farther and farther away from him, and felt very upset.

The little girl who used to be afraid of sleeping alone and insisted on sharing a bed with him finally became more and more distant from him.

Is this the price of growing up? If so, he would rather she was still the little person who held him tightly, rather than seeing her drifting further and further away from him like this.

When Jiang Yuechu woke up, the sun had already set.

She didn’t know if it was because she didn’t sleep well in her previous life, so after being reborn, she had to make up for the sleep she had missed in these years.

She quickly washed her face and headed towards the kitchen.

Jiang Yannan was indeed already cooking dinner inside.

"what's for dinner?"

"Eat dumplings. I've already made them. I'll put them in the pot when you wake up."

Jiang Yuechu felt a little embarrassed, as it seemed like Jiang Yannan was doing all the housework.

"Then I'll help you light the fire." After saying that, he quickly sat down under the stove.

"No, the weather is so hot, go out and cool down!"

"I'm hot, aren't you hot too?" Jiang Yuechu looked at him seriously, "Brother, I'm not a child anymore. I can help you share some of the burden."

Jiang Yannan looked at her serious expression and finally said nothing more.

After it was cooked, Jiang Yannan specially served a bowl and asked Jiang Yuechu to send it to Aunt Zhang's house. Chunyan ate while praising Brother Yannan's cooking skills.

The two of them quickly had a sumptuous dinner.

After cleaning up everything, before it got dark, Jiang Yuechu took a shovel and started digging in the ground beside the vegetable garden.

The land here is more fertile, so the earthworms must be bigger.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Yannan looked confused when he saw her.

"Didn't I say we were going to catch loaches and eels tonight? I'm preparing the props now!"

"What prop?"

"Earthworm!" Jiang Yuechu's face was full of excitement.

"Then I'll dig it!"

"No, no, no...just catch it later!"

Jiang Yuechu held on to the shovel tightly. She didn't dare to catch that disgusting thing.

Seeing her fear, Jiang Yannan smiled silently, then stood by and waited with the pottery jar in his hand.

As soon as he dug the hole, a few earthworms came out, and Jiang Yuechu felt goose bumps all over his body.

She really doesn't like these things!

"Okay, go back now. This doesn't require two people. Or you can just sit by the well and watch!"

This kind of thing is really not suitable for a delicate girl like her.

Jiang Yuechu thought about it, and then went to find branches that were as thick as his little finger, and then cut them all into about 20 centimeters long, cutting about 50 branches in total.

I found a roll of hemp rope at home and started tying the rope around the branches. The rope didn't need to be too long, about forty to fifty centimeters would be enough.

Jiang Yannan soon filled a ceramic jar with earthworms.

Jiang Yuechu took a look and didn't want to look anymore. She just handed the branch in her hand to Jiang Yannan.

“You cut the worms into small pieces and tie them to the string.”

Jiang Yannan followed her instructions and quickly tied earthworms to 50 sticks.

Jiang Yuechu thought that today was the first day, so he would first see how the results were. If he could get 80% of the results, he could add more tomorrow.

The two men carried two large buckets and walked towards the field.

They inserted branches at intervals along the edge of the paddy field and put the bait into the water. After inserting 50 branches, they went to the ditch to dig loaches. They soon dug up half a bucket, which was estimated to be around or kilograms.

The two men quickly arrived at the field where the baits were placed, and surprisingly there was a yellow eel on each bait. Each one was big and thick, and probably weighed more than ten pounds.

Jiang Yuechu's eyes smiled like a crescent moon.

"Brother, I didn't expect to get so much on the first day. Let me ask the restaurant tomorrow how much it has purchased. If we can get this much every day, we won't have to worry about our high school tuition!"

"Yeah!" Jiang Yannan looked at the little girl who was smiling like a flower, feeling both happy and disappointed.

The two men quickly returned home and added a little water to the buckets of loaches and eels so that they could be sent to the state-owned restaurant in the town the next morning.

After a busy night, the two were covered in mud, tired and sleepy, so they quickly washed up and went to bed. Even though it was very hot, Jiang Yuechu fell asleep quickly due to the sleepiness!
