Traveling through the 1940s, the whole village was massacred at the beginning

Chapter 938 Unable to Get Rid of My Brother

Although Jiang Jiyun was somewhat unwilling after her brother said that, she still obediently lay down on the small table in the yard and continued to bury herself in the dictionary that Gao had given her.

Time passed second by second, the sun gradually sank in the west, and the sky began to darken.

Xiao Tian and Jiang Wenming had already prepared the meal, and a fragrant aroma wafted from the kitchen.

"Dinner's ready!" Jiang Wenming shouted.

Hearing the shouts, everyone put down what they were doing and sat around the dining table in the courtyard.

Jiang Jiyuan then lit the mugwort mosquito coils that Jiang Jiyun had made by hand in the courtyard, so that even if everyone sat in the courtyard to eat, they wouldn't have to worry about being bitten by mosquitoes.

At the dinner table, everyone enjoyed the delicious dishes while chatting happily.

While everyone was distracted, Jiang Jiyun quietly passed on an important piece of information to her uncle: "Uncle, I've discovered that the person living next door seems to be a wealthy individual, and quite possibly the kind who embezzles public funds!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wenming's eyes lit up. He exchanged a glance with Jiang Jiyun and said, "If we don't take a bite of this juicy meat that's been delivered right to our mouths, wouldn't we be doing ourselves a disservice?"

However, he looked around and found that everyone was there. How could he avoid their gaze and go next door for a visit?

Just as Jiang Wenming was deep in thought, Jiang Jiyun suddenly put down his chopsticks and said, "It's been so long since I've had my uncle's cooking. I'm so full!"

Hu Dahe asked with a suspicious look, "Aren't you all together every day? Why doesn't your uncle cook?"

Recalling everything that had happened during this period, Xiaotian couldn't help but sigh, "How could I have time to cook every day! I usually just make some dark flour steamed buns and vegetable pancakes, and boiled eggs are what I eat the most. But who would have thought that during this special time, I would get so tired of eating boiled eggs!"

When Xiaotian mentioned eggs, Hu Dahe and the others fell silent.

Indeed, Ma Chao would bring out hundreds of baskets of eggs each time, but with so many of them, although the eggs seemed plentiful, they could only manage to make egg drop soup.

Moreover, this was not only the case in Ma Chao's area, but also in Fu Jingming's other places.

Each time, they have to prepare hundreds of empty baskets for rotation.

Even worse, sometimes there are also a bunch of chickens, ducks and geese with feathers still on, as well as pigs with feathers and internal organs still on.

Faced with these ingredients, they can only try their best to process and cook them to meet everyone's nutritional needs.

However, the number of cows in the space was limited, and her brother and uncle were adamant that she should not touch them. They said they would release the cows for plowing after the final victory.

Jiang Jiyun tried to explain that with tractors and other agricultural machinery available in the future, there would be no need to use oxen to plow the fields, but no matter what she said, her brother and uncle just wouldn't agree.

Therefore, Jiang Jiyun has never been able to taste fresh beef. She can only occasionally sneak out vacuum-packed braised beef from the space store or take out some beef from the refrigerator to satisfy her craving.

Jiang Jiyun stood up somewhat helplessly and walked slowly in the courtyard, muttering to himself as he walked, "Brother, I want to go out for a walk and get some exercise to help with digestion."

Hearing his sister's words, Jiang Jiyuan put down his chopsticks, looked up at her, and asked suspiciously, "Are you really just going out to digest your food?"

Jiang Jiyun nodded quickly and replied firmly, "Of course, what could possibly happen here? I'm just taking a stroll around and looking at things."

Her voice unconsciously lowered, as if she lacked confidence.

Jiang Jiyun turned around and walked quickly to the door, pointing to the distance and saying, "I also saw what looks like a night market over there."

Yan Ye looked over as well and nodded in agreement: "Yes, there is indeed a night market, but it mainly sells small trinkets, and it closes at 8 p.m. at the latest because there is a curfew here."

Jiang Jiyuan looked at his younger sister and said softly, "Then I'll go with you to take a look."

Jiang Jiyun wanted to refuse, but she shut her mouth when she saw that her brother had already stood up.

Jiang Wenming put down his chopsticks, stood up, and said to Xiao Tian and Xiao Wei, "Xiao Tian, ​​Xiao Wei, please clean up the dishes today."

Xiao Tian smiled and nodded, then turned to the person next to him and said, "Brother Wei, you can come too. I'll wash these dishes."

Xiao Wei hesitated for a moment, but Han Tao seemed to see his concerns and quickly said, "It's okay, Xiao Wei, we'll shower together. Just come along and take a look."

And so, what was originally just a plan for the uncle and nephew to go for a walk suddenly turned into a stroll for all four of them.

Jiang Jiyun silently held her uncle's hand and strolled leisurely along the roadside.

Jiang Jiyuan and Xiao Wei followed behind, keeping a certain distance and paying attention to their surroundings.

Neither of them noticed the subtle interactions between Jiang Jiyun and Jiang Wenming during this seemingly ordinary walk.

Their fingers sometimes touched lightly, sometimes intertwined, as if they were having a silent conversation.

Jiang Jiyun didn't see much for sale. She wandered over and saw a brightly lit area ahead. Curious, she went to see what it was for.

When Jiang Jiyuan saw his younger sister running into the "Red Mansion," he quickened his pace, grabbed his curious sister, and turned back.

"Hey hey hey..." Jiang Jiyun's feet were off the ground, and he struggled by waving his hands.

Jiang Wenming saw the house and guessed what it was. He turned around and chased after it, rescuing the person from Jiang Jiyuan's grasp.

"Uncle, my brother bullied me!" Jiang Jiyun complained.

Jiang Wenming said awkwardly, "Were you just trying to go to that place with the really bright lights?"

Jiang Jiyun asked, puzzled, "I just went to see what that place was for. Why are they using so many lights? The electricity bill must be huge. Our place doesn't even have electricity yet."

Jiang Wenming looked at her and said, "You're just a little kid, you can't go to that place."

"Why?" Jiang Jiyun turned to look in the direction of the house. She saw that only men were going in, so she knew what kind of place it was.

Jiang Jiyun asked in a low voice, "Is that a women's branch?"

Seeing her uncle and brothers looking at her in surprise, she raised an eyebrow and said, "What's so strange about that? I may be young, but I'm not stupid. I can see for myself."

"I'm hungry!" Jiang Jiyun said as she saw the wonton stall by the roadside.

Jiang Jiyuan rubbed her stomach. She had only been out for a short while to digest her food, and she was already hungry again.

"Brother, you guys go home first. Uncle and I will try the wontons here." After saying that, Jiang Jiyun ran to the stall and sat down.

Jiang Jiyuan agreed after seeing that the stall was not far from his residence and that he could see it from the entrance of the courtyard.
