Chapter 224 Picnic
Sun Ruhua looked at the slap marks on Jiang Weinan's face and glared at Xie Jiaojiao.
When no one was around, Sun Ruhua pulled Xie Jiaojiao aside and said, "It's New Year's Day, why did you hit him again? His sister and brother are here! If you tell this story back home, will you still be able to live in his house from now on?"
Xie Jiaojiao snorted: "He deserves a beating!"
Sun Ruhua hit Xie Jiaojiao and pretended to be angry and said, "I'm telling you, his family is here, you are not allowed to hit him again."
Xie Jiaojiao pursed her lips and said she understood.
While eating breakfast, Jiang Ruonan looked at Jiang Weinan: "Cousin, did you make your cousin's wife angry again?"
Jiang Weinan glanced at Xie Jiaojiao, who glared at him. He immediately said, "You know nothing. This is the boudoir fun between us, husband and wife!"
Jiang Linglong raised her index finger and covered her mouth with her hands while laughing.
Jiang Ruonan frowned: "You are quite special. Your cousin's wife beat you up, but you still said it was the joy of the boudoir. It seems that you deserve to be punished!"
"you……"
Jiang Weinan was so angry at his words that he stuffed a bun into his mouth.
"I can't even stop your mouth!"
After breakfast, Jiang Linglong returned to her room.
Xie Jiaojiao looked at him and pulled Jiang Weinan.
"Alas, the bond between my sister and that man is very deep. If she gets over it in just one or two days, it would be an apology for her deep love over the years."
Xie Jiaojiao disagreed, shaking her head and said, "If you know it's a bad fate, wouldn't it be better to get out of it earlier? If you know it's a deep pool, you should turn back earlier!"
Xie Jiaojiao thought about it.
Looking at Cuizhu, he said, "Go to the backyard and catch a chicken."
Then he said to Hanlu, "Go to the warehouse and fill some bottles with soy sauce, and also fill some of the seasonings in the kitchen."
Then he said to Jiang Weinan: "The weather is good today, go and bring your fishing gear."
Jiang Weinan said: "Why are you preparing these things? What? You want to eat fish?"
Xie Jiaojiao kicked him lightly: "Just go when I tell you to. Let's go to the bamboo forest for a picnic! The weather is nice today."
Jiang Weinan dodged for a moment and went there immediately.
Jiang Ruonan looked at Xie Jiaojiao and asked hurriedly, "Cousin, cousin, what about me? What should I do?"
Xie Jiaojiao thought for a moment: "You..."
"Go change your clothes. Your snow-white clothes will get dirty as soon as you go out!"
"That's it? What else? What should I do?"
Xie Jiaojiao shook her head.
Jiang Ruonan was a little disappointed.
Xie Jiaojiao patted his shoulder: "You will be of use later!"
Jiang Ruonan smiled when she heard this: "Okay, I'll go change my clothes now."
Seeing him leaving, Xie Jiaojiao followed him and walked upstairs.
Xie Jiaojiao arrived at Jiang Linglong's door and knocked. The maid opened the door, and Xie Jiaojiao saw Jiang Linglong sitting in front of the window, turning her head slightly to look at her.
Xie Jiaojiao shouted as soon as she opened her mouth: "Sister Linglong!"
Jiang Linglong smiled and patted the stool beside her: "Jiaojiao, come and sit down."
Xie Jiaojiao walked in, but did not sit down. Instead, she pulled her and said, "Come play with us today!"
Jiang Linglong wanted to withdraw her hand: "You guys go, I don't want to go."
"Come on, it's a rare opportunity for you to come here, I'll take you around our village and show you some interesting things!"
When they got downstairs, Jiang Weinan was a little surprised to see Xie Jiaojiao bringing someone down.
Everyone's stuff is almost ready.
Xie Jiaojiao said to Lai Fu: "Take the chairs over there."
Lai Fu went there immediately.
Xie Jiaojiao pulled Jiang Linglong outside, and asked the maid behind her to get her a cloak, fearing that she would be cold later.
Jiang Linglong sighed and followed Xie Jiaojiao.
When we arrived at the bamboo forest, the sun was high in the sky.
I found a good place, half of which is exposed to the sun and half is not.
Lai Fu put some chairs in place.
Jiang Weinan took his fishing gear and went fishing. After the snow on New Year's Eve, the sun was shining brightly the next day. The river had been exposed to the sun for several days, so who knows, he might be able to catch some fish today.
Jiang Ruonan saw that Jiang Weinan had gone fishing, and hurriedly asked Xie Jiaojiao what he was doing.
Xie Jiaojiao said there was no rush.
Jiang Linglong felt a little embarrassed watching from the side and reached out to help.
Since Xie Jiaojiao brought her out, she would naturally not let her be idle. Only by keeping herself busy would she not have time to be sad.
Jiang Linglong followed Xie Jiaojiao and did what she did.
Xie Jiaojiao asked Jiang Ruonan to take Lai Fu to the woods to dig some soil.
He also asked Cuizhu and Hanlu to dig a hole and build a fire.
Jiang Linglong asked Xie Jiaojiao, what are we doing?
Xie Jiaojiao replied: "Beggar's chicken!"
"Beggar's chicken? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, “I read about this in a book, but this is my first time making it, so I don’t know if it tastes good!”
Jiang Linglong was concerned about not getting herself dirty at first, but now that she found it funny, she didn't think it was a big deal.
My hands are also covered with soy sauce and some other seasonings.
I just buried the chicken here.
Lai Fu came over with two fish that were three fingers wide: "Madam, the young master has caught some fish!"
Xie Jiaojiao brought it over, Cuizhu took it directly and cleaned it in a few strokes.
Xie Jiaojiao applied some seasoning and found a stick to skewer it.
Then a fire was built.
Jiang Ruonan looked at him and said, "I'll go help my cousin too."
Having said that, the man left.
Jiang Linglong sat on the chair.
Xie Jiaojiao asked her if she was cold, and Jiang Linglong shook her head.
Then he asked, "Do you usually live like this?"
Xie Jiaojiao turned the fish over: "How can that be possible? I didn't see you and Ruonan coming, so I thought I wouldn't bore you guys."
Jiang Linglong propped up her knee with one hand and held up her head as she said, "I heard from Ruonan before that it's fun here, and the five-finger chess you invented. My dad and my eldest brother like it very much. Whenever we have free time, we play a few games with you. How did you come up with this idea?"
Xie smiled and said without blushing, "We farmers like to do everything simply and conveniently."
Jiang Linglong smiled and said, "It seems that the local climate and soil shape the local people."
"Isn't that right?"
Xie Jiaojiao looked at Jiang Linglong and said, "I definitely can't learn to be as graceful as my sister."
Jiang Linglong smiled bitterly: "If there is a choice, who would be willing to learn it? These rules and dogmas are, after all, just a tool to restrict people. In the eyes of some people, it is a style, but in the eyes of others, it is just pretense!"
Xie Jiaojiao couldn't help but look at her after hearing what she said. She didn't expect her to say such words.
I couldn't help but nod my head. "Take the female rings for example. Everyone says that the female rings are to restrain women and make them better. But in the end, it's just to put women in a set of rules. They can't do this or that, and they can't live freely enough!"
Listening to Xie Jiaojiao's words, Jiang Linglong looked at her with new eyes. After all, in Jiang Linglong's eyes and heart, Xie Jiaojiao was just a village girl...
Suddenly he smiled and said, "I didn't expect Jiaojiao and I have the same opinion!"
