MTL - A Cannon Fodder Female Partner To Raise a Cub In The Era Novel

Chapter 7 Corn Mush

Jiang Xiaoxin let Jiang Xiaoya play by herself, and he quickly packed up the things that needed to be packed.

These include the enamel jar with the words "Serve the People" printed on it for Jiang Xiaoya to brew malted milk, the only ironware in the house, which is the rusty kitchen knife, and the scratched matchbox, which contains Two matches.

Except for large objects such as tables and chairs and some hidden food, this is all they have.

 Jiang Xiaoxin inevitably thought of the destroyed things again, and felt bad again.

“We’ve been using it for so long and it’s not broken. When she comes, it’s all broken. It’s annoying to have to trouble Uncle Huzi to fix it!”

Although Jiang Xiaoxin kept saying that Li Jing was a bad person and ruined their things, both of their brothers were there at the time, so they knew clearly that she didn't mean it, but she couldn't resist his anger!

“Brother, let’s get up early tomorrow to cut down trees. We can’t delay tomorrow’s work any longer.”

Although Jiang Xiaoxin and Jiang Xiaowen are only half-grown children, they do not go to school and work to earn centimeters every day, which is considered "semi-labor".

Today, they stopped working at the same time for Li Jing. Jiang Xiaoxin was heartbroken to death when he thought about the public who had not earned anything.

"Um!"

Jiang Xiaowen sprinkled some coarse corn dregs into the stone pot, and the boiling water made a gurgling sound. There was also a handful of washed wild vegetables beside it, including bitter bitter purslane and sweet potato leaves and shepherd's purse mixed together.

These are what they secretly dig up early every day, dry and store.

 Due to the lack of staple food and the fact that they have to get up early to go to work every day, they cannot have enough to eat even during the leafy season.

“Xiaoya, I told you not to join the fire!”

Jiang Xiaoxin quickly picked up Jiang Xiaoya, who was crawling and walking towards the fire, with a straight face, like a big brother.

"The fire is there, do you know it's dangerous? How many times have I told you not to go there? If you don't obey, my brother will beat you!"

 As soon as the word "beat" came out, Jiang Xiaoxin felt a chill down his back.

  Turning his head, he saw Li Jing who could not distinguish between joy and anger.

She was holding something in her hand and standing in the dim light from a distance.

 It just appeared suddenly, without even the sound of footsteps.

 “You, when did you come back? You’re so scared!”

Jiang Xiaoya was the most excited when she saw Li Jing. She struggled in Jiang Xiaoxin's arms and stretched out her little hands and shouted: "Liang, Liang..." When she saw Li Jing, she wanted to hug her.

Li Jing's eyes softened and she walked over.

Jiang Xiaowen also looked at Li Jing. He was a little far away and couldn't see clearly what was wrapped in lotus leaves in her hand. He could only see the wrapped things dripping with water.

water?

Jiang Xiaowen saw that the color was wrong, and a flash of deep thought flashed in his eyes. He stirred the stone pot and stood up, "Mom, we have cooked the corn paste, it will be ready soon!"

Li Jing approached and finally saw clearly what she was holding, which surprised the brothers as expected.

"fish!"

Jiang Xiaoxin screamed in surprise, hugging Jiang Xiaoya and almost jumping up with joy, and rushed in front of Li Jing like a firecracker.

 “Where are you doing…”

Before he finished speaking, he immediately covered his mouth and lowered his voice like a thief, "You don't want to steal a fish pond, do you? That's collective property!"

Jiang Xiaowen's expression changed. Just when he was about to ask his second son, Jiang Xiaoxin, to stop talking nonsense, Li Jing narrowed her eyes and scolded her coldly, "Do you know what it means to have trouble come from your mouth?"

Jiang Xiaoxin’s expression also changed, he moved his mouth a few times, and finally admitted his mistake: “My mistake, I will never say anything nonsense in the future!”

Li Jing stared at him for a few seconds. It wasn't until Jiang Xiaoya, who had no idea what was going on, happily called "Mom" and asked her to hug her that Li Jing's expression became warmer.

She put all the things in her hands on the ground and carefully picked up the thin Jiang Xiaoya.

Jiang Xiaoxin was still a little resistant to Li Jing hugging Xiaoya, but because of the trouble just now, he still let go, bit his lip, and lowered his head in frustration.

As soon as Li Jing hugged the little girl, she smelled a faint milky fragrance on her body.

She couldn't help but glance at Jiang Xiaoxin, who was looking down in annoyance and reflecting, and Jiang Xiaowen, who was a little serious.

 These two boys still know how to hide things?

 Somewhat promising!
