There is a mountain in her arms

"Yes! Second Uncle, I am obsessed."

The two slapped their thighs at the same time, and something clicked in their heads. The children in the inner room saw the two adults getting excited and hurried over to join in the fun.

"Dad, what are you talking about?"

"Children should not ask about adult matters. Jiang Zixiao, you should eat less sweets, as they can easily make you fat."

As Jiang Weiguo waved his hand, he saw the pastry crumbs around his son's mouth and couldn't help but scold him.

"Dad, you can't lose your temper with me today, it's New Year's Day. Have you forgotten what grandma said?"

"You little brat, I'll remember this for you."

Jiang Weiguo laughed out of anger. His mother said this yesterday, and he took it as a get-out-of-jail-free ticket.

"Brother, Zixiao has the same personality as I did when I was a child. Why are you arguing with him? Look, I'm grown up now, and I'm pretty good, aren't I?"

Jiang Weiping likes Zixiao's liveliness. His son is a little mature, and he often feels that he lacks the fun of being a father.

"Tsk, you ate a lot of shit when you were a kid, do you need me to reminisce with you?"

As soon as Jiang Weiguo said this, three pairs of round eyes stared at Jiang Weiping. Jiang Weiping felt a little embarrassed and pretended to clear his throat.

"Really? No, brother, you must have remembered it wrongly. Zihao, go to the village with your cousins! There are still many children of your age in the village. Don't stay at home every day, go out and socialize more."

"Zixiao, you are familiar with the village, take your cousin to meet more people, and then I will treat you to a delicious meal in town."

"A word is settled!"

"a man of his words!"

"Zihao, An'an, let's go find Goudan and Huzi! I heard they caught a big turtle, shall we go take a look?"

"Big turtle? There are turtles in our freshwater river?"

An An was really interested, so she went out with them. When Jiang Zixiao went out, he stuffed his pockets full of money, calling it a gift for his friends on New Year's Day.

Jiang Yicheng had nothing to do and was about to go back to her room to read a book when Jiang Weiping called her.

"Chengcheng, come and talk to us. You were very smart when you were a kid. Now help me analyze the changes in the future."

"Uncle, you think too highly of me. How can I understand the future? You must have experienced more than I have!"

"Hahahaha, you're still so harsh with your words."

Although it was winter, Jiang Yichen still didn't like the sun, so he came out wearing a straw hat that Grandpa Jiang used for work.

"Chengcheng, you can help uncle and his family settle down in the city, can you also help me, your second uncle?"

"Uncle, isn't your job in the provincial capital very good?"

"But there is not much room for advancement. Your second aunt is not well educated, so she is outstanding in a small county, but not in the provincial capital. She has been relying on odd jobs to earn a living these years. Now the times are changing so fast, and our salaries are just enough to barely cover all the expenses of the family. But now many places are laying off employees, and your second aunt, a temporary worker, was also laid off and is now taking care of the family."

"Oh! So what do you mean? Do you want to develop in Beijing?"

"No, no, I haven't thought about it yet. Your cousins ​​have already transferred schools before going to the provincial capital. They finally adapted to the new school, and I don't want to affect their mood again. I heard from your grandfather that they can run a fruit shop to support your expenses in Beijing. What do you think about asking your second aunt to open a fruit shop in the provincial capital as well?"

"Uncle, I'm not a Daluo Jinxian. This requires understanding many factors such as geographical location. I don't know if it will work, but you can try."

"Ah? You can't give any advice?"

"Uncle, you've read more books than I have. Think about it more."

"This has nothing to do with studying. If I had your brain, I wouldn't have bothered to go to college. Isn't this also for a better life in the future?"

"Uncle, let me put it this way. I don't know what the situation is like where you are, but if you want to start a small business, you should do it as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the streets are full of people doing this, you will lose the opportunity. Doing business is risky. It depends on whether you have the ability to be the first to try it."

Jiang Weiping had always been a smart person, and he immediately understood the meaning.

"I understand."

"Second brother, what do you understand?"

"Brother, what Cheng Cheng means is that these few years are the best time to do business, but it may not be the case once this boom is over. Take you for example, if you hadn't taken the lead over others, would you be able to stay stable in the city now?"

"Oh! I see. There are definitely more opportunities in the provincial capital than in our city. You must seize this opportunity. It doesn't matter what you do, as long as you are good at it."

"I know."

"Weiguo, Weiping, you can have lunch at our house! We can also tell you about our experience in opening a store."

Grandma Jiang estimated that it was time to prepare lunch, so she invited them to eat.

"I think it's feasible. It's a good opportunity for me to share the little I know."

Jiang Weiguo thought it was good and Jiang Weiping couldn't ask for more.

"Okay, thank you for troubling Second Aunt."

"It's Chinese New Year, and you're having dinner at our house to boost our popularity. You guys chat first, I'll go get ready."

Grandma Jiang waved her hand and winked at Jiang Yichen, who followed in with understanding.

There are too many wild animals in Jiang Yichen's space now. Since Achu was able to absorb spiritual energy, he no longer eats these ordinary animals.

She wanted to catch some and sell them, but unfortunately there were outsiders at home every day, and she had no reason to sell them.

When Grandma Jiang found out, she and Grandpa Jiang killed a batch of pheasants and rabbits in the space and placed them in a warehouse for a certain period of time so that they would not go bad no matter how long they were kept.

"How many?"

"Two wild rabbits and one pheasant! Let's cook the wild rabbits spicy and the pheasant peppery. Your second uncle and his family like to eat this."

"Grandma, let's make some chicken soup! It's cold, and hot soup is good for your skin. Add some red dates and wolfberries to it, and it will beautify your skin."

"Okay, it's up to you."

Grandma Jiang was very skillful, and she chopped up the hare and pheasant in just a few strokes. She also took out the bacon, smoked ribs, and sausages, and after everything was ready, Jiang Yicheng skillfully started to cook.

"Thump, thump, thump, thump"

As the aroma of meat wafted from the kitchen, the three people in the yard could hardly sit still. Jiang Zixiao took the lead and came in with a black object, followed by Jiang Zihao and An An.

"Jiang Zixiao, why are you covered in mud?"

When Jiang Weiguo saw his sloppy look, he felt a dull pain in his temples.

"Dad, look, what is this?"

"what?"

Jiang Zixiao moved the hanging black round thing closer to him. Jiang Weiguo subconsciously moved back and was on the verge of getting angry.

"Brother, it looks like a turtle. This is a good thing. Zixiao, where did you get it from?"

Jiang Weiping suddenly saw a small head sticking out of the black shell, and it looked like a turtle.

"Uncle, I caught it in the muddy field near my second grandfather's house where the educated youth lived."

"How did you know this was there?"

"Hu Zi and Goudan told me that they also caught one for fun. Grandpa Guan Er passed by with Niu Niu and said that this thing is very nutritious to eat. So I asked them where they caught it, and wanted to try my luck. I didn't expect that I would actually encounter one."

"Of course soft-shelled turtles are a great tonic. Brother, I didn't expect that there is such a thing in the silt land that the village has always looked down upon. Can we cultivate it?"

"I'm not the village chief anymore. I have no say in this matter."

"Uncle, isn't this a turtle? Does it have several names?"

“Although both turtles and soft-shelled turtles belong to the order Testudinata, they are obviously different in family, morphology, diet, and living habits.

Different families: turtles belong to the family Testudinidae, while soft-shell turtles belong to the family Trionycii.

Different shapes: The turtle's back shell is hard and has various patterns on it, and its head and limbs can be retracted into the shell; the soft-shell turtle's back shell is softer, has no patterns, and has a soft membrane on the surface, and its head and limbs cannot be retracted into the shell.

Different eating habits: Turtles are generally omnivorous animals and like to eat small fish, shrimps, etc.; soft-shelled turtles have relatively simple eating habits and like to eat small fish, shrimps, snails, clams and other aquatic animals.

Different living habits: Turtles are amphibians and can live both in water and on land; soft-shelled turtles mainly live in fresh water.

Different personalities: Turtles are relatively docile and generally won’t bite people; soft-shelled turtles are ferocious and like to bite people, and once they bite, they won’t let go easily.

"Bite? How can it bite with such a small mouth?"

"You are always surprised by what you have never seen! That's why I tell you to read more books. Otherwise, if you come across something good, you will let it slip away from under your nose."

Jiang Weiguo took the opportunity to teach him a lesson, and Jiang Zixiao curled his lips.

"Dad, is it because Grandpa Guan Er has read too many books that he knows that turtles are a great tonic?"

"That's because he has a lot of life experience, and it's also a gradual accumulation."

"Tsk! That's nonsense! I won't talk to you anymore. There are not many people here. I'll ask Second Grandma to kill them and make soup. Second Grandpa Guan said that the taste is really unforgettable."

Jiang Zixiao ran to the kitchen covered in mud, and they could all hear his loud voice from outside.

"Second Auntie, can you make soup out of this for us?"

"Turtle? Zixiao, did you catch this? Is it injured?"

"No! Second Grandma, I stepped on it, and Second Grandpa Guan helped me get it up."

"Zixiao, Second Grandma will prepare lunch soon. Why don't you take it home or I will cook it for you in the evening? This thing needs to be cooked for a long time. I'm afraid it's too late now."

"If we don't bring it back, there won't be enough for everyone at home. Second Grandma, then save it for dinner."

When Jiang Weiguo heard that it was his uncle Guan who helped, he suddenly realized that he had thought that his little brat was lucky and didn't get bitten!

"Okay! An'an, take Zixiao to wash up and wash off the mud, then change into clean clothes. Zixiao, put the clothes in the sun to dry, and when the mud is dry, rub it and it will fall off."

"Got it, Second Grandma. An An, take me there."

Seeing his son's behavior, Jiang Weiguo wished he could go back to school and retrain him.

"Second brother, you said that all three children grew up together, why do you only worry about this one?"

"Brother, how can you say that? Zixiao is such a good guy, he has brought you so much laughter and joy. Otherwise, you would have a headache if there were three people in your family who are useless."

Jiang Weiping turned his gaze to his son with envy in his eyes.

"Hey! If you say so, I should thank him for this genetic mutation. Second brother, how about we take turns taking care of him?"

"Huh? Brother, you know, I don't need to worry about Zihao at all. Miaomiao always goes to her mother when she has problems. I'm busy with work all day and don't have time to take care of the child."

Jiang Weiping decisively withdrew his gaze. He liked Zixiao's noise, but his family had finally settled down, and he didn't dare to invite a bomb back home.

"Humph! Are you trying to play tricks on me? Are you looking for a fight?"

"My bad, my bad."

Jiang Weiping quickly begged for mercy, but Grandpa Jiang stood aside. Grandma Jiang shouted at Grandpa Jiang from the kitchen, and he immediately left.

"Old man, set the table and eat."

When the food was served, Jiang Zixiao had just finished cleaning up. Seeing the table full of delicious food, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

"There are so many delicious foods. An An, every day in your house is like Chinese New Year."

"Zixiao, if it tastes good, eat more. I'll make you turtle soup tonight."

"Yes!"

After Jiang Zixiao and other elders took their seats and started eating, he grabbed a rabbit head to eat before they even sat down.

"Second Auntie, I never get tired of eating this spicy rabbit head. My mom has made it several times, but it's not as tasty as this."

"Next time I'll ask your mom what's going on."

Grandma Jiang loves people to praise the delicious food she cooks.

Jiang Weiguo's temples were throbbing. He glanced at Jiang Zixiao and decided to ignore it. He then started talking about business with his uncle and brother.

The meal lasted almost two hours. The younger generations had already left, and Jiang Weiping kept asking Grandpa Jiang and Jiang Weiguo about their experience in opening a store.

"Dad, are you done yet? Help me kill this black thing."

Jiang Zixiao was still thinking about the turtle soup! He heard from his second grandmother that the turtle soup had to be slowly boiled to be nutritious, but she would not kill this black thing.

"Here I come. I really owe you in my last life."

Jiang Weiguo had eaten and drunk his fill, and seeing that the brat was still bothering his second aunt, he quickly stood up.

Jiang Zixiao and the other two were all curiously watching. Jiang Weiguo was lucky enough to have seen someone else do it. Even though he was being stared at eagerly by three pairs of eyes, he was not at all flustered.

Jiang Zixiao didn't feel relieved until he saw Grandma Jiang pour the turtle into the casserole.

"Second Madam, how long does it take to stew this?"

"This will take two hours!"

"It must be delicious after taking so long."

"That's right. You should drink more when the time comes. This is the result of your hard work."

"Second Grandma, you should drink more too. Isn't it said to be nutritious? You and Second Grandpa can also replenish your body."

"Thank you, Zixiao."

"Second Grandma, this is all thanks to you. An'an, I want to try my luck, do you and Zihao want to go?"

"Why are you going? It's muddy over there. If you sink in, it will be too late to rescue you."

Jiang Weiguo couldn't help it now. He was doing inappropriate things every day. If something really happened, it would be too late to regret.

"But turtle soup is nutritious, and I want to catch a few more to nourish grandpa and grandma."

Jiang Zixiao felt a little aggrieved, so Jiang Wei came out to smooth things over.

"Brother, how about we two adults follow together? It just so happens that I just ate too much and want to digest the food."

Jiang Weiguo now had a way out, and after hearing his son's reasons, he nodded.

"Then let's go take a look together. If there really are a lot of these things, we can report it to the village."

"You say you are no longer the village chief, but you still worry about the village chief."

Jiang Weiguo pretended not to hear Jiang Weiping's muttering and went out first.

"What are you still standing there for? Don't you want to go?"

Seeing that his nephew didn't move, Jiang Weiping nudged Jiang Zixiao's butt with his knee to remind him.

"go with!"
