An Exquisite Dog Hole (2)
“Grandma, what kind of wind is the Northwest wind? Where does it blow from? If I can’t even tell south from north and east from west, would I not even be able to eat the Northwest wind?”
Would a child like her starve to death?
Jiang Xiumei grit her teeth. “Yes, so I definitely can’t leave you two alone. Don’t worry, I’ll go back to worship the ancestors and warm up the stove, and come back when I’m done.”
“Can you not go back to the village?”
“No, this is the rule left by the ancestors.”
Jiang Xiaoman sighed and said, “Sigh, our ancestors really loved to make rules.” Rules for this, rules for that, there were rules for everything!
Jiang Xiumei ignored her and packed her stuff by herself, preparing to go back to the village.
Jiang Xiaoman had to play alone.
It didn’t matter that her friends didn’t come, she still had Yu Qingshi.
Originally, she wanted to call him and ask if he wanted to come to play, but Jiang Xiaoman didn’t want to waste the phone bill, nor did she want to shout to call him. So, she wrote him a note to ask.
She tied the note to Fragrance’s body and patted its bottom. “Fragrance, go.”
Fragrance seemed used to it, and it immediately tottered on its four piggy legs, going through the dog hole that Yu Wencheng made.
Although the dog hole was very exquisite and didn’t look like one at all, Yu Qingshi insisted on not going through it and went through the door every time he came to see Jiang Xiaoman. Gradually, the beautiful dog hole became a pathway for Fragrance.
Everytime, it came through this hole to find Miaomiao to play, and gradually it used the hole more frequently, such as helping its little master pass news like right now.
It had become so skillful that it didn’t even seem like a pig anymore.
After receiving the note from Jiang Xiaoman, Yu Qingshi only thought for three seconds before he gave up the homework he was writing and went out to play with her.
Two days before New Year, Jiang Xiumei went back to the village alone. Jiang Xing had also already come home.
She brought a lot of things in small and large bags. One, to let the neighbors try some new stuff, and two, to bring some gifts for Teacher Tang.
Jiang Xing helped her find a driver to drive her back so she wouldn’t encounter too much hassle on the trip.
Before leaving, Jiang Xiumei told Jiang Xing, “Xiaoman is very well-behaved now. She can eat, put on her clothes, and do her homework without being told to. There’s nothing to worry about. Take good care of her, don’t let her lose even a single strand of hair. If you go out to play with your bastard friends like last year, leaving Xiaoman alone at home and something were to happen, just wait for when I come back.”
Jiang Xing repeatedly said that he wouldn’t dare. All of his friends in the city were his business partners. What bastard friends? They were all respectable people.
After sending Jiang Xiumei away, the uncle and niece pair almost had nothing to eat for their first meal.
When Jiang Xiumei was at home, she would prepare warm rice and dishes, and the two of them just needed to wait and eat. Originally, Jiang Xing also had the skill to at least warm up food, but he had been a businessman in the past few years. He was so busy that he didn’t even have time to eat, let alone go to the kitchen. His food was usually prepared by someone else.
There was no maid at home either. Jiang Xiumei felt that it was a waste of money and didn’t want to hire one. She could clean the house by herself. Jiang Xing couldn’t talk her out of it, so he could only do as she wanted.
But now that Jiang Xiumei was gone, the two people learnt the pain of not having anything to eat.
Jiang Xing was sitting on the sofa, watching TV with her legs swaying to and fro. She saw the sky turning a little dark and wanted to eat. She told her uncle that she was hungry.
Jiang Xing told her to wait, Uncle would come right away. Then, he went to the kitchen.
But it didn’t take long for him to call for help from the kitchen. “Help, help, Xiaoman help!”
Jiang Xiaoman went to rescue him.
The uncle and niece looked at each other.
Jiang Xiaoman said with a burst of sadness, “Uncle, I’m hungry.”
Jiang Xing took out the New Year gifts from his partners from the refrigerators. There were chocolates, snacks and candies.
Their packaging was very exquisite, and the prices were very expensive.
He was now someone that people would send gifts to butter up to.
Jiang Xing opened a box of chocolates and stuffed a mouthful in his mouth, saying, “Un, it’s delicious. Quick, eat this. They’re imported goods, very expensive.”
Jiang Xiaoman also liked to eat them, but she clutched her belly and cried after eating them, “Uncle, I want to eat meat.”
If she didn’t eat meat, she wouldn’t have any strength.
She didn’t feel full even after eating a lot.
Jiang Xiaoman wanted to eat hot delicious chicken drumsticks, beef, pork, lamb and all kinds of meat.
She didn’t want to eat this cold, sweet and greasy chocolate!
Jiang sighed. It was too late to go next door for a meal, because Yu Wencheng wasn’t at home either. He took Yu Qingshi back to his in-laws’ house.
There was no other way, so he changed his clothes and took Xiaoman out to find food.
