"Okay, are you done with your anger? I'll take you to take a shower and change your clothes. No wonder Brother Ji Yuan dislikes you, you're really too dirty."

Jiang Wanting took the little girl from Jiang Wenming and took her to the room to take a bath and change clothes.

When Yan Xuyang's car stopped, Ma Chao went over to help him take down several net bags from the back of the car.

"You guys have gained a lot by the river today!"

Ma Chao looked at the net bag that contained a lot of green-shelled eggs in the grass ball, another net bag that was full of small crabs and a turtle, the net bag next to it was full of snails, and the last net bag was full of small fish.

"Today we saw a reed beach by the river. We went in and caught ducks and picked up duck eggs. We also caught small crabs and fish from the puddles and rocks by the river."

"Where did this little turtle come from?" Jiang Wenming asked as he picked up the turtle.

Yan Xuyang smiled and told the story of the two turtles biting Jiang Jiyun's clothes and spanking her while she was walking.

He also said that he met the Imperial Army patrolling the riverside, and it was they who reminded him and his sister to look for it in the reeds.

Ma Chao's face changed after hearing this. "You said there are people patrolling the river?"

Yan Xuyang nodded and said, "It's possible that not all riverbanks are patrolled, because there are many boats there, and they probably patrol to watch the boats."

"All the boats have been confiscated by the Imperial Army. It must be difficult to cross the river now?" Jiang Jiyuan said with a frown.

Jiang Jiyun came out clean and heard what her brother said, "Brother, those ships all have dog-skin plaster flags, and I saw two large ships with gun ports!"

"warship!"

"warship!"

Jiang Jiyuan and Ma Chao said it in unison that when they were trying to cross the river at the riverside in Y City before, they were bombed by the Japanese warships and jumped into the river to escape.

Fortunately, they managed to swim back to the shore alive with their men. However, after experiencing battle after battle, only about twenty people were left in their entire regiment.

Unexpectedly, they heard the whereabouts of the two warships again today. The two looked at each other and decided to go and investigate at night.

"I'm hungry! Brother, go and cook!" Jiang Jiyun looked at her brother who was still squatting there.

Jiang Jiyuan turned around and looked at his sister who was tanned after a whole summer. He felt really disgusted.

"Got it! What does the little ancestor want to eat?" Jiang Jiyuan stood up and walked over to Jiang Jiyun and picked him up.

“Pimple soup!”

Jiang Jiyun remembered that her brother only knew how to make dumpling soup, and that was the only thing that was edible.

Master Jiang Liu took the turtle and wild duck and carried them away to deal with them. Yan Xuyang followed with the snails, crabs and small fish.

Jiang Wanting came out holding Xiaobao, and when he saw Jiang Jiyun, he waved his hands vigorously at her.

Jiang Jiyuan put his sister down and went to make dumpling soup for her. Jiang Jiyun could only go over and hold the little one.

"Sister Wanting, please take him away. His saliva is all over my face..." After holding him for just a while, I heard Jiang Jiyun's cry for help.

When Du Wanqing came out, she saw Jiang Jiyun lying on the mat on the floor of the main room, with Xiaobao holding her head and biting it with saliva all over it.

She went over, picked up Xiaobao and quickly got the bottle for him. When she came out again, she saw Jiang Jiyun sitting on the mat with messy hair and a look of despair on his face.

"You've only been taking care of the baby for a while today and he became like this. Your sister Wanting takes care of him every day. All babies are like this." Du Wanqing came over holding the little baby who was drinking milk.

Jiang Jiyun looked at Xiaobao who had calmed down and asked, "Are all children like this? I was definitely not like this when I was a child. My mother said I was very well behaved!"

Jiang Jiyuan came over with his sister's bowl and laughed when he heard her words, "Well, you are quite well behaved."

Jiang Jiyun looked up and saw his brother coming. He became happy when he heard his brother say that he was a very well-behaved child.

Who knew he would suddenly say, "She's only well behaved when she's asleep, otherwise why would I carry her on my back all day and take her climbing trees and hunting? As soon as I put her down, she would howl so loudly that the roof would almost be blown off."

The smile on Jiang Jiyun's face froze there. She looked at her sister-in-law aggrievedly, "Sister-in-law, my brother bullied me! My mother said that I was the most obedient child, even more obedient than my brother when he was a child."

Du Wanqing glared at Jiang Jiyuan and said, "Our Xiaoyun is the best. I have been with you for so long and you are really sensible. You can kill the devils at the age of five. You also saved Xiaobao and Wanting. Without you, so many people would not be able to come here alive."

Jiang Jiyuan knew he was wrong and came over to apologize, saying, "Brother, I was just being sarcastic. I love you so much, I was afraid that someone would steal you away, so I carried you on my back every day to prevent anyone from stealing you."

Jiang Jiyun's little face suddenly turned red. She suddenly realized that she was already a teenager and not really five years old. Why did she sometimes have a temper like a child?

Seeing that his sister was no longer angry, Jiang Jiyuan came over and fed her the dumpling soup with a spoon.

The girl started to stagger while eating, and Jiang Jiyuan quickly reached out to catch her.

"Give me the bowl!" Du Wanqing put down Xiaobao who had fallen asleep after drinking milk.

Jiang Jiyuan handed her the bowl and carefully put his sister on the mat to sleep. When he saw the calluses on the little girl's hands and then looked at her feet, where the blisters had appeared before, there were calluses all over her feet, and tears came to his eyes.

"me…"

Du Wanqing saw the man's tears falling one by one, and she sighed and comforted him, "At least she is still alive. As long as she is alive, there is hope. Those who can survive in this world have already used up all their luck."

"I know. If I had known such a big thing would happen to my family, I would not have left home to join the army. She must have been very scared when my mother died and she was alone in the village! I heard from Sixth Grandpa that when he saw my sister, she was still carrying Xiaobao." Jiang Jiyuan couldn't imagine how such a small child could survive with a newborn baby.

"If you love her so much, why do you always make her angry?" Du Wanqing asked in confusion as she saw how much he loved his sister.

Jiang Jiyuan put a piece of clothing on his sister's belly and explained, "She looks like a little adult, so I just want her to keep her childishness."

"Jiang Jiyuan, you are wrong. If she hadn't been more calm, she might have died long ago. What you should do now is not to let her keep her childish innocence, but to teach her how to survive in troubled times." Du Wanqing looked at Jiang Jiyuan with disapproval.

Jiang Jiyuan looked up at his wife and was stunned. Did he do something wrong? Isn't that right? His father and their group leader both said that girls should be pampered.

"If it were a peaceful time, I wouldn't object to how you raise her, big brother! This is a chaotic time! In this chaotic time where you can't be sure of your future, you want to raise her to be a naive girl? That's courting death!"

Jiang Jiyuan lowered his head and said sullenly, "But aren't we going to H City? When things settle down, I'll send her to school, and she won't have to worry about these things anymore!"
