Chapter 14

Chapter 14

In the afternoon, it rained again.

It was very cool.

The leaves blown by the rain fell.

There was a black ant that didn't know which leaf to hide in.

Jiang Mianmian was on Elder Sister's back, watching the rain.

Elder Sister's back was not as wide as Mom's.

Elder Sister did not have the milky smell of Mom on her body either.

Elder Sister's shoulders were a little thinner, and there was no fragrance on her body.

When Elder Sister accompanied her, she fed her, changed her diaper, washed her bottom, did needlework, washed diapers, turned over and dried herbs, cleaned up, and was very busy, basically without rest.

At this moment, Elder Sister arched her back to make Jiang Mianmian comfortable, swaying left and right.

It made Jiang Mianmian feel like she was in a cradle.

Jiang Mianmian unconsciously remembered the girl named Jiang Wan today.

She was about the same age as her elder sister at home, graceful, with a straight back, long neck, slightly raised chin. She must not have to carry younger siblings or do so much work at home.

Her face was flat against Elder Sister’s back, lifeless, hungry, and wanted milk.

Until the courtyard door was pushed open.

What caught her eye was a big tree?

Uh...

No, it was Mom, Mom carrying a tree?

"Yaya Yaya!" (Mom, mom, it's mom.)

Seeing the person in the rain, it was Mom, Jiang Mianmian was extremely excited.

Her neck even propped itself up.

Qin Luoxia was carrying a tree and heard the child's shout as soon as she entered the door.

Her chest was instantly unbearably full, and she didn't hold the baby for fear of getting wet.

She went into the house first and changed her clothes.

In the house, Jiang Yu had boiled hot water for washing.

Qin Luoxia tidied up quickly, then reached out to hold the baby, and lifted her clothes.

Jiang Mianmian satisfyingly hugged her big rice bowl, swallowing mouthfuls.

After she was full, she hiccupped twice before she had time to think.

But still unwilling to get out of Mom's arms, clinging tightly to Mom.

"Mom, where did you go today?" Jiang Yu was eager to show Mom what Jiang Wan had brought, but was afraid of being scolded, so she asked indirectly.

Qin Luoxia looked a little awkward. She had gone up the mountain to collect herbs today. She had also waited for half the afternoon at the rock where she had fed the baby the other day until it rained, but the bear never came to hit it again, and she was drenched.

Of course, this kind of thing should not be said to the child.

However, on the way, she encountered a tree full of red fruits. Qin Luoxia felt that the baby would definitely like it, so she brought the whole tree back and could plant it at the door of the yard.

"How were you at home today? Was Mianmian obedient and good?" Qin Luoxia asked.

"Mianmian was very obedient."

Jiang Yu still dared not say anything with whimpers.

While Jiang Mianmian had taken a nap in Mom's arms, when she opened her eyes again, Elder Brother and Father had returned home.

Jiang Mianmian had just opened her eyes, her eyes were still a little blurred, and she felt she saw a piece of red.

As a result, after rubbing her eyes, it was not an illusion, it was really a piece of red.

Elder Brother's head was bloody, which looked very scary.

Jiang Mianmian was so frightened that her mouth was open without a sound.

Today was really inauspicious, Elder Brother and Elder Sister both had a blood disaster.

Mom and Father did not scold yet, but heard Elder Sister Jiang Yu scold first: "Brother, where did you go messing around again and get into this?"

Elder Brother Jiang Feng's head was still bleeding, but he still nonchalantly said, "Fighting, hurt, the other side will not end well either."

In fact, Jiang Feng felt a dull pain on his forehead, he just didn't want Mom and Father to worry.

Injured and bleeding must be painful.

Jiang Mianmian watched and felt the pain was killing her, mainly the head part, and was worried that there might be other sequelae. This was ancient times with backward medicine.

She didn't dare to cry for fear of making things worse.

Just stared at it carefully.

At this point she was put in a basin, and saw the black ant again, but had no mood to tease it.

She saw the whole family busy.

Mom and Father did not scold, but treated the wound.

Mom grabbed a handful of herbs and smashed them hard in a stone mortar.

Father cleaned the wounds with her diapers.

Probably her diapers were the softest cloth in the whole family.

Father held the diaper and soaked it in boiling water, then waited for the water to cool.

It seemed that her whole family was slightly versed in medicine. Elder Sister knew to rinse the bleeding foot with cold water to stop the bleeding.

And Father actually had the awareness to use boiled water.

Was this aspect more widespread in this world?

Watching Father help Elder Brother clean the wound, unable to see the details, Jiang Mianmian was anxious and couldn't help shouting "Eh ya ya".

Elder Sister Jiang Yu came over to hold her.

Jiang Yu was bold, and actually held her to watch Elder Brother's wound.

It was bloody, with a hole broken open, but it was not a knife wound, it should be some sharp weapon that broke it. Jiang Mianmian remembers that she was a half-baked medical student before, who had just been assigned to intern at the hospital, and was still practicing stitching banana peels.

She understood some things, but not everything.

It was not a big knife wound, it should not require sutures.

Even if suturing was required, there was no condition for it here.

Watching Mom slap the smashed herbs all over Elder Brother's forehead, it looked like she had made him an aloe vera face mask.

There were no bandages either, so Elder Brother could only lie on the recliner.

After treating Elder Brother’s wound, Mom and Elder Sister went to cook, and Elder Sister should feel guilty, so she followed Mom all day today and probably hadn’t talked yet.

Jiang Mianmian fell into Father's arms.

Father held her and sat on the small horse bench next to Elder Brother.

"Who did you fight with? What was the reason? Did you win or lose?" Father asked slowly. 𝗳r𝐞ew𝚎bn𝚘ve𝚕.c𝗼𝗺

Although he didn't scold, Father was so fierce at this moment.

Jiang Mianmian lay in Father's arms, thinking that fortunately she still couldn't speak, otherwise she would get into trouble.

Jiang Feng said:

"I met Jiang Rong in the county town. He said I stole unwanted clothes and shoes from their home, and said our whole family were habitual thieves.

I beat Jiang Rong and his two followers. One of the followers had a black mole in the corner of his eye. I didn't know him. He was very fierce with good fists and feet, and also brought weapons. I felt I would be beaten to death. I couldn't beat him.

So I deliberately hit the place where the yamen patrols would pass by on their rounds. When I saw the yamen patrols, I smashed my head up. I got 22 taels of silver in compensation. I gave 10 taels to each of the two yamen elder brothers, and kept 2 taels for myself."

In the room, Jiang Yu, who heard this, finally couldn't help crying loudly: "Mom, I didn't steal, I didn't want it, it was given by Jiang Wan."
