Chapter 3: Xiaohe (New Books for Recommendations, Favorites)

Jiang Chuan lay on the threshold, his little hand stretched out, as if he wanted to catch the wind of freedom, and he cried loudly in his mouth, tears and snot flowed down, and his little face was muddled.

Jiang Xiao watched Jiang Mei run over and skillfully coax Jiang Hai, Jiang Chuan cried while lying on the thin Jiang Mei, and his dirty hands kept wiping off her body.

It turned out that Jiang Mei was made so dirty by Jiang Chuan, and Jiang Mei didn't dislike it, she gently coaxed Jiang Chuan in her mouth, "Brother is good, brother is good" while checking his situation.

Looking at Jiang Mei, who was obviously also a child, but her movements were so skillful, Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded and wanted to go up to help, but Jiang Mei persuaded her to quit with a word.

"No wonder my brother cried, it turned out to be stinky."

As Jiang Mei ripped off Jiang Chuan's pants, an unspeakable stench came to her face, and Jiang Xiao hurriedly took a few steps back.

I saw Jiang Mei skillfully take off Jiang Chuan's dirty pants, wipe him clean with a towel dipped in water, and then go to change him into clean pants hanging outside the house.

Jiang Xiao turned her head to avoid suspicion when Jiang Chuan took off her pants, Jiang Mei cleaned up Jiang Chuan alone, she was sophisticated, she was used to doing this job at a glance, Jiang Chuan was in her hands, just like a doll, let her fiddle.

Jiang Xiao turned her head and looked at the half-torn rough perpetual calendar hanging on the wall of the Syrian-style bricks that had not been painted, and she looked at the date on it blankly, with only one question in her heart?

Isn't it said that the post-00s generation is the happiest? Spoiled for a generation?

She only felt sad, Jiang Xiao, the post-00s, and Jiang Mei, the post-05s, lived as hard as the post-70s and 80s, what a backward and poor place this is.

After Jiang Mei changed Jiang Chuan's pants, there was a coughing sound from the back of the hall, which startled Jiang Xiao, there was a room behind this hall where Jiang Xiao's grandparents lived.

At this moment, Jiang Xiao's grandfather didn't know where he went, and the grandmother who was paralyzed in bed was lying in the house.

Grandma Jiang coughed for a while, and then the old voice sounded, "After the pants are changed, remember to wash them, otherwise there will be no clothes to change." ”

"Okay, Grandma." Jiang Mei simply responded, and was about to go out with dirty pants, looking at Jiang Xing and saying: "Sister, you look at your brother, I'll wash my pants." ”

Jiang Xiao looked at Jiang Chuan, who had just changed into pants, and was lying on the ground playing at the moment, and suddenly stained the new pants, and felt that her head was too big, she couldn't take care of children!

Hurriedly stopped. "Jiang Mei and so on."

Jiang Xiao looked at Jiang Mei who turned around and smiled: "Sister go wash your pants, you take care of your younger brother." ”

That dirty brother, Jiang Xiao couldn't accept it for a while, so she went to wash her pants.

Jiang Mei nodded dryly, threw her dirty pants into an iron basin printed with peony flowers, and then put laundry detergent and brushes.

Jiang Xiao left the house with an iron basin, she was going to the river to wash clothes.

In fact, what age is it, every household has long been connected to water and electricity, and there is no longer a need to go to the river to wash clothes as before.

It's a pity that the old people in the village have always gone to the river to wash in order to save those few dollars and cents of water bills, but now that the sun is big, as the family's economic situation is getting better and better, some families no longer care about the water bills of those few dollars, and they are washing under the faucet at home.

Even those who have the conditions have already prepared a washing machine at home, so they don't have to wash their clothes by hand.

Only Jiang Xiao's family continues the tradition of washing clothes by the river, after all, their home is at the end of the village, which is the closest to the river.

If you walk a little way and wash it by the river, you can save a few dollars in water bills and buy some meat to eat, so why not.

Jiang Xiao followed his memory and slowly came to the river, just looked at the clock, it was now more than three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was big overhead, and there was no one on the road.

After all, now adults are going to work outside, and some of the remaining children in the village, because of the prevalence of mobile phones, take the mobile phones sent back by their parents to the only place in the village with WiFi, and the commissary at the entrance of the village to play games, and they have long stopped coming to the river to play.

The old man was fine, and he would not have braved the sun to come to the river at this time.

The river is not big, it looks five meters wide, and the bottom of the river is clearly visible as soon as the water reaches the calf of the river.

There is a clump of bamboo planted by the river for I don't know how many years it has been planted, a big one, criss-crossing like a small bamboo forest, I don't know how much I know on it, and it is chattering non-stop at the moment.

Jiang Xiao deliberately looked for a place where the shadow of the bamboo fell, it was cooler, put down the iron basin in his hand, Jiang Xiao stretched his waist.

The river is roaring, the bamboo shadows are heavy, the temperature here by the river is much lower than outside, and a gust of wind blows, which is not too comfortable.

Jiang Xiao suddenly felt that this kind of life seemed to be good, but all her good mood disappeared when she took out the stenching pants.

"!!!!"

When she saw that there was still a pile of yellow on the stinky pants, Jiang Xiao's mood was broken, and she threw her pants into the river with a shake of her hand.

She knew that Jiang Chuan pulled the stink, but she didn't expect him to pull the stink onto his pants.

knew this, so she let Jiang Mei wash it, what did she rob!

Heaven is going to kill her!

No, she must not be able to stay in such a poor place anymore, is her live broadcast career not good enough, or her life is not exquisite enough and not wanton enough, she actually inexplicably crossed over to this kind of place, and the small apartment she bought with a loan has not yet lived!

She must leave this place!!

When Jiang Xiao raised her head, the pants she threw into the river were gone, and when she looked up, she had floated down the river for a distance of seven or eight meters.

Looking at the pants that fluctuated with the river, Jiang Xiao was disgusted, why don't you want it?

That's it, saying that the pants were washed away by the water?

Accidentally lost it?

Snatched by a hungry dog??

That way she wouldn't have to wash the pants.

Later, she left the mountain, made money, and bought Jiang Chuan back ten pairs of eight new pants.

But Jiang Xiao immediately thought that in this poor family, even if it was a newborn child's clothes, there were only a few pieces left, and if there was one less pair of pants, Jiang Chuan would have no pants to wear.

She doesn't have the money to buy new pants for Jiang Chuan right now.

After struggling for a while, the pants had already drifted down the water to a distance of ten meters, Jiang Xiaocai gritted his teeth and rushed up, and went down to the river to pick up the pants.

Using his orchid finger to pinch a small point of his pants, he picked it up indescribably, and when he smelled the foul smell that had been floating for so long, Jiang Xiao regretted why he picked it up.

Under the impact of this foul smell, she turned her head in disgust.

"Huh!" Jiang Xiao's eyes lit up, and he bent down to pick up a stone in the water.
