Chapter 428 She is back
Anjiu lifted the quilt, sat up from the bed, and looked at the familiar cramped little room in front of him.
The fire not far away was burning brightly, making a slight crackling sound.
On the small table was hot water prepared by her grandmother and a plate of snacks including melon seeds and dried fruits.
She has come back.
An Jiu frowned slightly. When she was about to leave the other world, she saw her wife laid a red egg. It should be able to hatch the tribe members, right?
I hope the patriarch can get what he wants and get a true blood descendant of the clan.
She jumped out of bed, stretched her muscles, and walked out the door.
The sounds of grandma and her older sisters chatting and laughing came in through the crack in the door, bringing a warm and healing atmosphere to their daily lives.
When Anjiu pushed the door open, the two drowsy children who were guarding the stove suddenly cheered, brought her a cup of hot water, and stayed by her side, refusing to leave.
One of the grandmothers who loves to joke said with a smile: "It turns out that the little kids still want to play with the big kids. They were listless just now, but now their eyes are bright like two little light bulbs!"
A group of people laughed.
The look in grandma's eyes when she looked at Anjiu was full of love and doting, which made her think of the clan leader who was guarding the snail house alone.
She lowered her eyes somewhat uncomfortably.
Some things are just afraid of comparison.
The patriarch's lonely figure and the responsibilities he carried weighed heavily on her heart at this moment, as if she had been eroded by the patriarch's heavy loneliness in just seven days of experiencing another world.
It's just... quite sad.
Isn't what the clan leader expects is what she has now...
The two children looked at each other, and the aunt seemed unhappy. Could it be that she slept too much and was in a bad mood when she woke up?
Just when I was wondering whether I should leave quietly so as not to disturb my aunt, I suddenly heard a sentence - "Stretch out your hand so I can see it."
It's my aunt talking~
They came over and spread their hands neatly on the table.
When he looked down, he saw that his hands were dirty. Afraid that his aunt would dislike him, he quickly said, "Let's go wash our hands first. Aunt, wait for me!"
After saying that, they quickly ran to the basin and washed their hands carefully.
Anjiu held their small and short fingers and rubbed the rough and slightly swollen backs of their hands with his fingertips.
"I'm about to get frostbite."
The two children didn't understand, "What is frostbite?"
"It's itchy and painful, and it will crack and bleed." An Jiu found the hand oil he had collected before from the space, squeezed out a lump, and asked them to spread it evenly.
"It smells so good!"
The two children had never smelled such a pleasant smell before. They sniffed their noses and were extremely happy. They held their hands and sniffed around.
Anjiu took out a bottle of baby cream and applied some on their red cheeks.
"Take these two bottles home and apply a little on your hands and face before going to bed every day, and your skin will not hurt."
"No," the two children shook their heads, "Mom won't let us take anything from here."
"My aunt gave it to me. It's okay. Put it in your pocket and tell mom when you get home." An Jiu touched their heads and focused his attention on grandma.
Grandma sighed, "Winter is finally over. When spring comes, there will be work to do."
Another grandmother said, "That's right. I haven't paid the rent for this winter. Anyway, I'm not worried about it anymore since I've been delaying it for a long time!"
This statement was deeply agreed by other old sisters.
"It's the same in my house. To be honest, the current administrator is a good person. Apart from asking us to change the door, he has never asked for rent. If it were the previous one, everyone would have lived on the platform this winter!"
"It's good, but since he came, we don't have any living assistance at all. We have to live off our savings. The dried fish we stored during the rainy season have been eaten up long ago. If you didn't sell food here, I don't know how many people would have starved to death..."
"Hush, maybe it will be sent again in a few days. We have survived this winter, there is no need to talk about this."
The sisters changed the topic and started talking about Captain Pu who lived across the street.
"I haven't seen him for a while, Di Potato Seedling, do you know what he's been busy with recently?"
Grandma shook her head. "Since the beginning of winter, he has seldom come to my place. In the past month, he has been nowhere to be seen. I haven't heard him come back for days."
"I think so." The older sister who was closer to grandma glanced at Anjiu and shook her head gently at grandma, "It's not necessary. It's better for you two to live well."
"I know," Grandma also lowered her voice, "I always tell her that Xiaojiu listens to me, it's not true."
The elder sister looked at Anjiu quietly, put her head close to grandma's, and whispered:
"This child is getting more and more beautiful, and he has some abilities. You can't guarantee that someone will try to trick him. You have to keep a close eye on him. Love and affection are useless. It's better to just eat more meat..."
Although they spoke in low voices, the room was small and I could always hear a few words.
Anjiu was so embarrassed that he could only pretend that he didn't hear it and took the two children's hands to read their fortunes.
A Ling has a close relationship with her grandmother and has also suffered in this regard. She joined the conversation while wiping with a rag, and using her own past as an example, she spoke of her past with a heart-wrenching pain, saying that it was because of the hardship of not having parents to look after her that she ended up in this situation today.
When it comes to complaining about men, the other grandmas also joined in enthusiastically. With so many people around, there was no need to hide and whisper. One person would curse, and another would make another indirect comment.
Anjiu got goosebumps when he heard this. He quickly found an excuse and ran home with his two children.
call--
The moment the door was closed, Anjiu breathed a sigh of relief.
The grandmas and A Ling both meant well, but being besieged was terrifying. Especially at a time like this, whether she responded or not would be ignored, so it was better for her to slip away early.
The two children asked curiously, "Aunt, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay. Go sit by the stove and warm yourself. I'll find you two thick clothes to wear."
"No need, auntie," the two children sat obediently, "We are not cold."
Anjiu took out the clothes that were collected for them from the space while rummaging through the space.
As soon as it was taken out, sea water dripped down the packaging bag and all over the floor, and a lot of water accumulated in the bag.
"Oops, I forgot about that!"
Anjiu walked quickly to the window, stretched the bag outside, tore open an opening, took out the clothes and wrung them dry.
It was no longer snowing outside, and the wilderness was covered in white as far as the eye could see.
Although there was sunshine, it was like the small light in a refrigerator, with little temperature, and the air was still very cold.
In just a short while, her hands turned red from the cold.
Enduring the biting cold, she wrung out the remaining pieces and asked the two children to help boil some hot water.
These clothes need to be rinsed with water to remove the sea salt.
Otherwise the clothes will be stiff after drying and will smell like the sea.
A Ling's family had no stored water, and they were reluctant to use the precious water to wash clothes. The two children looked the same when they wore the water.
