"She has always liked sleeping on her stomach!" Jiang Wanting explained.

Jiang Jiyuan frowned and said, "When she was little, she liked to sleep lying flat on her back, with her hands raised above her head as if surrendering. How come she changed her sleeping position after only two years?"

"Children are changeable by nature. In a few days, she might like to sleep on her side again." Du Wanqing covered the two children with quilts.

"Brother, sister-in-law, you should go back to sleep too. Let's stop our work here for today and save some candles." Jiang Wanting put away the unfinished work.

Du Wanqing nodded and said, "Then we will go back and rest. You can go to sleep!"

Jiang Wenming did not sleep tonight. He went to the village patrol team. Every household had to send one person to patrol in case the Japanese suddenly came.

Jiang Jiyun was woken up by Xiaobao picking at her face. She sat up helplessly and when she opened her eyes she saw that Xiaobao had actually sat up by himself.

"Ah!" Jiang Jiyun exclaimed.

"Hehehe..." Xiaobao thought his sister was playing with him and started giggling.

When the people in the yard heard Jiang Jiyun's exclamation, they all ran into the house.

They saw two little people sitting face to face on the bed. Xiaobao was giggling and staggering, and Jiang Jiyun was supporting him carefully.

"Xiao Yun! What's wrong? Did Xiao Bao bully you again? He wasn't awake when I went out just now." Jiang Wanting came over, picked up Xiao Bao and went out to help him pee.

When Du Wanqing came over to help her put on her clothes and shoes, Jiang Jiyun finally realized, "Sister-in-law, Xiaobao can get up and sit by himself!"

"Old people always say that he can sit up at the age of seven and crawl at the age of eight. Although he is only nearly six months old, he has always been drinking milk powder. He is much stronger than those children who don't have milk or food. With a strong body, the bones will naturally grow well. It's not surprising that he can sit up now." Du Wanqing explained to her.

Jiang Jiyun got dressed and climbed out of bed and said, "That's right, I found so much milk powder for him to make him strong and powerful, but he actually bullied me. He is really heartless!"

When Jiang Jiyun walked out of the room, she saw several people exercising in the yard, so she ran over and started exercising too.

"Xiao Yun, I wanted to tell you last night that you must keep the pass safe. We..."

Before Jiang Jiyuan could finish his words, he saw a small yellow notebook in his sister's hand.

"Since you are so worried, I'd better leave it to you!" Jiang Jiyun pretended to take out the pass from his pocket and handed it to him.

Jiang Jiyuan took it and looked at it carefully before handing it to Ma Chao. "Can we forge it?"

"It should be possible. I'll send it to the contact point tonight and let them try it." Ma Chao also looked at it carefully.

"Then Brother Ma, go to the contact point in the evening to show the comrades whether you can make it. This book will be used in three days."

Ma Chao nodded, "I know. Now the main thing is to practice rowing and fishing."

Jiang Jiyuan sighed when he heard about rowing. The wooden basin in the water seemed to have its own ideas and he had no way to control it.

At this time, Jiang Wenming was catching up on his sleep. Everyone was moving and making very quiet sounds. Only Xiaobao, who knew nothing, was practicing his voice.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!  …"

Mr. Jiang Liu helplessly picked up the child and walked out to the yard, not wanting him to wake up Wenming.

After the sun came out, Jiang Jiyun had breakfast and followed his brothers to the river to watch them learn to row a boat.

Early in the morning, the aunties and grannies who were washing clothes by the river started laughing when they saw them learning to row. Yesterday afternoon, the three young men capsized their boats countless times, but they still wouldn't give up even though they hadn't learned how to row.

"Hello, grandmas!"

"Hello, aunties!"

"Hello sisters!"

Jiang Jiyun stood on the shore and greeted the women who were looking at him.

When the women heard Jiang Jiyun greeting them, they responded with a smile.

A woman asked Jiang Jiyun in broken Mandarin, "How old are you?"

"My sixth birthday is in four days. I will be one year older!" Jiang Jiyun counted on his fingers.

Jiang Jiyuan, who was listening to Yan Xuyang teaching them how to row on the shore, heard his sister talking about her birthday with the locals. He turned around and looked at his sister's somewhat lonely figure.

"Xiaoyun, come here!" Yan Xuyang watched Ma Chao sitting in the wooden basin and going into the water.

Jiang Jiyun ran over and looked at Ma Chao's trembling movements. Just as he was about to say something, he saw that the wooden basin overturned after he had just stroked it twice.

"Uh...is this the result of the brothers' whole day of practice yesterday?" Jiang Jiyun asked stupidly.

Jiang Jiyuan's face turned red when his sister told him that they all knew how to swim but couldn't row.

Yan Xuyang simply went into the water and stood in it to teach Ma Chao how to row the boat. The river was not deep anyway, and it was almost eleven o'clock before they were able to row the boat smoothly.

"I want to try it too!" Jiang Jiyun looked at the big basin and felt eager to try.

"Okay! Be careful!"

Jiang Jiyuan saw that his sister really wanted to play. Since they were all here and his sister could swim, he went up to her, picked her up and put her in the big basin.

Jiang Jiyun happily picked up the wooden paddle and started paddling. After paddling for a long time, she found that she was still going in circles.

"Puchi!" Ma Chao couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw the confused little girl.

Jiang Jiyun stood up from the basin tremblingly in defiance, and paddled twice in the water with the wooden paddle in her hand.

"Slow down, don't be in a hurry!" Jiang Jiyuan and Yan Xuyang reminded Jiang Jiyun.

Jiang Jiyun paddled left and right, and suddenly a fish jumped up. Jiang Jiyun was frightened by the big fish coming towards her, and she couldn't help but take a step back.

"thump!"

The fish fell into the big basin, and the person in the basin took a step back and fell into the water.

The accident happened so quickly that before the three people on the shore could react, Jiang Jiyun fell into the water.

"Ouch! The child fell into the water!"

"Hurry up and save people!"

"What are you still doing?"

……

The children from the village who were watching the excitement on the shore were shouting anxiously. Just as Ma Chao was about to go down, he saw Jiang Jiyun's little head popping out.

"Eat fish! Eat fish today!" Jiang Jiyun slapped the water angrily.

"Okay, let's eat fish!" Yan Xuyang came over, held the wooden basin and watched the fish moving from time to time.

“Ouch! Ah… wow wow wow…”

When Jiang Jiyun was almost at the shore, something suddenly bit her foot, and she burst into tears in pain.

Together with Yan Xuyang, they dragged the large wooden basin ashore, and when they heard her screams, they all ran over.

Ma Chao was close to her and grabbed Jiang Jiyun's clothes and lifted her up. They saw a big river clam stuck on her little foot.

"What a big clam!" A girl who was watching the fun nearby shouted in surprise when she saw the big clam.

Jiang Jiyun, who was still crying, looked down at the big black river clam that was biting his foot.

Jiang Jiyuan reached out and pried the clam apart to free Jiang Jiyun's foot.

"Sister, look at your spoils today, a fish and a big clam!"
