Chapter 10 Hoeing the Ground

When Jiang Xiaowen came back with a hoe, the corn paste boiling in the stone pot had already been brought out.

  The cooked polenta paste was partly put into an enamel jar, which was full, and partly into a container made of folded lotus leaves picked by Li Jing.

 The fish was cooked in the freed stone pot again, with a few green onions thrown into it.

  Without oil, the fish can only be stewed. Add some green onions to remove the fishy smell.

But if Jiang Xiaowen remembered correctly, the stepmother came back and dug up a few onions, but there were no scallions.

Looking again, there was a small paper bag next to the fire, containing the little coarse salt they had left. Not far away was a rusty kitchen knife that Jiang Xiaoxin had thrown away after killing the fish.

 Jiang Xiaowen pressed his eyebrows helplessly.

 Lao Di, exposed.

 Who had told him before that his stepmother must not know these things?

Jiang Xiaowen sighed quietly and no longer struggled with these issues.

"give it to me!"

Li Jing was staring at the fish in the stone pot, holding Jiang Xiaoya in her arms to prevent her from running around. When she saw the **** in Jiang Xiaowen's hand, she stood up.

Jiang Xiaowen smiled warmly and said, "I'm going to go hoeing. I'm afraid I'm going to be hungry, so I'll drink some corn paste first."

 “I’ve eaten, you eat!”

As soon as the corn mush came out of the pot, Li Jing ate her portion in the stone pot. Because it was too hot, she blew it on and fed Jiang Xiaoya a few mouthfuls, then left it alone, planning to feed her after it cooled down a bit.

have eaten?

Jiang Xiaowen raised his eyebrows in surprise, but said nothing. He obediently handed over the hoe, and then wanted to hug Jiang Xiaoya, who was pouting and spitting bubbles.

Jiang Xiaoya reluctantly patted Jiang Xiaowen's hand, but Li Jing didn't let him hold her. She looked at Jiang Xiaoya who recognized him and said softly, "I can hold her."

 After saying that, he turned around and walked toward the side of the thatched house against the mountain.

Jiang Xiaowen blinked lightly, and then looked at Jiang Xiaoxin, who had been staring at the stone pot, unable to pull his eyes out. Inexplicably, he felt that his movements and expressions at this time were somewhat similar to those of his stepmother just now.

He burst into laughter and patted his brother, who had ignored him since he came back. "Why don't you eat the cooked polenta and why are you not active in eating today?"

Jiang Xiaoxin shook his head without interest, "No, I want to save my stomach for fish." After hearing this, Jiang Xiaowen twitched the corner of his mouth, "A little bit of corn paste, are you sure you will lose your stomach after eating it?"

 “No matter what, I want to eat fish!”

Jiang Xiaoxin's bright eyes widened and he stared at the fish in the stone pot. Jiang Xiaowen stopped caring about him and collected the vegetables that his stepmother had picked.

At this time, when he saw the mint mixed in it again, Jiang Xiaowen paused.

 Mint, has the effect of soothing the throat.

After thinking about it, Jiang Xiaowen whispered to Jiang Xiaoxin: "I'm going out for a while and I'll be back soon!"

Jiang Xiaoxin was only focused on the fish, nodding his head and saying "hmm" twice, without asking where he was going.

 …

Li Jing held Jiang Xiaoya in one hand and used a **** in the other hand to **** the ground, but her movements were not as neat as usual.

The movement of the **** seemed to be very light when it landed on the ground, and it dug very deep into the ground. After a while, Li Jing dug a large area without blushing or breathing.

Jiang Xiaoya seemed to be amused, she giggled, pointed at the ground and shouted: "Cool, hoe, hoe..."

Li Jing curled her lips and smiled to coax the little girl, "Okay, hoe, **** deeply, okay?"

 “hoe, cool…”

Jiang Xiaoya spoke syllable after syllable. Although her speech was still clumsy, Jiang Xiaoxin was pleasantly surprised.

 “Xiaoya can’t say anything else. Xiaoya, come and call me second brother.”

 Jiang Xiaoxin shouted excitedly on the spot.

Jiang Xiaoya called "Guo" as always, which still made Jiang Xiaoxin jump up and down with joy.

“Xiaoya is great, I know our Xiaoya is the smartest.”
