Chapter 112 Temporarily separated
Du Wanqing came over and helped her lie down. "It's just a pair of children's shoes. I can make it in a moment."
Master Jiang Liu also left two small yellow croakers for Yan Xuyang. "If you can't use them to buy a house, I'll give them to you when you get there. You're already grown up and you'll definitely have to get married. You'll be the only one left in your family, so you'll have to leave a descendant!"
"Grandpa, I will help my brother and uncle save up the betrothal gifts." Jiang Jiyun spoke with red eyes.
"Snapped!"
Jiang Wenming patted her gently, and saw that the little girl's eyes were red. "Are you reluctant to leave? How about you go with your uncle first?"
Jiang Jiyun shook his head, "No, I have to look after my sister-in-law, she's pregnant with my nephew!"
"Haha...so you abandoned your uncle?" Jiang Wenming looked at her aggrievedly.
Jiang Jiyun immediately stopped hugging his neck, came out of his arms and hugged his sister-in-law, "No one can compare to my sister-in-law now."
"Hahaha……"
"Hahaha……"
They all laughed when they saw Jiang Jiyun who was too realistic.
The next morning, at dawn, Jiang Jiyun got up and went to the kitchen. She smelled the aroma of the braised meat and poked it with chopsticks.
"How about it?"
Jiang Jiyuan had been watching over the pot all night. After simmering over low heat, the aroma became stronger and stronger. He closed the doors and windows of his kitchen and blocked the gaps in the windows with clothes. He also poked them with chopsticks.
"Then let's fish it out. Give half of the braised meat to Sixth Grandpa and the others to take on the road, and give them more of the black-faced steamed buns." Jiang Jiyun nodded as he stood on the wooden block.
Jiang Jiyuan was so worried that his sister would fall headfirst into the pot, so he came over and held his sister with one hand and put her down, "Go back and fix your hair, it's all sticking up."
Jiang Jiyun used both hands to scratch his head. "There's really no way to deal with this. They just have their own ideas. No matter how I pull them down, they will still stand up. Maybe that way they can see farther."
"puff……"
Several people who were rinsing their mouths at the kitchen door sprayed out the mouthwash.
Master Jiang Liu came in after washing his face. "Xiao Yun, stay with your sister-in-law during this period, okay? As soon as Wanting can get out of bed and walk, come and join us, okay?"
"Sixth Grandpa, I understand. We should be able to be reunited in less than a month." Jiang Jiyun looked at them reluctantly and nodded.
Yan Xuyang had also harnessed the ox cart, and with the help of Du Wanqing, all the goods were loaded onto the cart.
Jiang Jiyun brought over a large empty clay pot and wiped the inside again and again before handing it to her brother.
Jiang Jiyuan scooped out nearly a full pot of braised meat. Jiang Liuye came over to stop him and said, "You don't need so much. Wanting is injured, your wife is pregnant, and you are injured too. You all need to eat more meat to replenish your body."
"We cleaned the pig intestines and lungs last night. They are also meat. You and John can eat more." Jiang Jiyuan thought about the way John ate last night and was worried that his family would go hungry on the road.
Mr. Jiang Liu and Ma Chao used new crutches, while John used an old one, and they all got on the ox cart.
Jiang Wenming wrapped Xiaobao in a quilt and tied him to his chest with a cloth strip. He was still asleep at this time, and Du Wanqing brought a small hat and put it on him.
Jiang Jiyun and Du Wanqing stood at the door and tears came down as they watched the group of people disappear from their sight.
"Sister-in-law, I haven't been separated from Sixth Grandpa and the others since I got out."
Hearing the sobs in her sister-in-law's voice, Du Wanqing took her little hand and walked into the house, and saw Jiang Wanting who was already crying.
"I'm sorry, sister-in-law. I'm a burden to everyone." Jiang Wanting apologized crying.
"Silly girl, we are a family, and I'm pregnant now, and it's not convenient for me to travel. Should I also say sorry to you? Or will you leave me alone?" Du Wanqing used a handkerchief to wipe Jiang Wanting's tears.
Jiang Jiyun ran to look at the pig intestines and other offal stewing in the pot, added firewood to the stove, and then came back to wait for her sister-in-law to braid her hair.
"We are the only women left at home now. I'll go outside and keep an eye on things!" Jiang Jiyun went out after tying her pigtails.
Du Wanqing took the clothes of several people and prepared to go out to wash them. "Wanting, the most important thing for you now is to take care of your body. Don't think too much."
"Ok!"
Jiang Wanting nodded and continued to lie down. She really wanted to lie down and have a good sleep.
It was past nine o'clock when Jiang Jiyuan and Yan Xuyang finally got them on the boat. It was only after Jiang Liuye sent ten wealthy foreigners that he was willing to take the risk of sending them to the other side.
"Brother Ma, I leave them to you!" Jiang Jiyuan said to Ma Chao.
"Don't worry! I will protect them as long as I am here." Ma Chao patted his shoulder.
Yan Xuyang watched the boat going farther and farther away and waved to the people on the boat.
"Buzzing..."
"Buzzing..."
Jiang Jiyuan saw Japanese planes flying overhead. The troops originally stationed here had already evacuated because too many people were killed in the last bombing.
"There are no troops here anymore, what else do they want to do?" Jiang Jiyuan and Yan Xuyang hid.
"Let's go back quickly. I suspect the Japanese are going to make some big move. There are only two women and a child left at home. Even if something happens, we can't escape." Jiang Jiyuan waited until the plane flew away and then took Yan Xuyang and drove the ox cart back.
Jiang Jiyun from Caijiagou looked up and saw a plane flying overhead, and was then carried into the house by Du Wanqing.
"That's the Japanese reconnaissance plane. It looks like they are going to take action again." Du Wanqing took her and hid in the room.
Jiang Jiyun lit a cigarette in the corner of the room and took an antidote. Soon, Jiang Wanting and Du Wanqing fell into a deep sleep.
Jiang Jiyun put away all the things in the house, hid the meat in the clay pot, and put away the stew in the big pot, to be put out later.
Finally, she sent her sister-in-law and sister Wanting into the space bed, and she hid in the space herself.
She sat in front of the screen and looked outside, and sure enough, not long after, she saw a group of Imperial Army being led over by people from Caijiagou.
"Didn't you say that foreigner lived here? Where is he?"
A woman said, "He was really here last night. Someone from his family rescued him from the woods over there. He also said his name was John! This is really none of our business. Please don't kill us!"
"Captain, there's no one in here, and everything is cleaned up neatly. But the stove is still scalding hot, so the person should not have gone far." The person who went to search the house came over to report.
"Go after them. They must have found a way to cross the river. Most of the boats they had before have been blown up. Take a team to the riverside to check. If they have already crossed the river, tell Taijun to contact the people on the other side to resolve the situation."
"Captain, with the temperature in the stove they haven't had time to reach the river yet. We might be able to catch them if we chase them over there." A squad leader of the Imperial Army pointed to the road that Jiang Jiyun and his men had taken to the river to fish.
