I sold grilled fish in the 70s!

The next morning, as the first rays of sunlight shone on Jianmei's chubby face, she impatiently shook her little head. The sunlight seemed like a mischievous child, playing with a long, thin feather on Jianmei's face. Still asleep, Jianmei stretched out her hands and waved them in front of her, as if trying to chase the naughty child away.

"Stop it! Are you trying to annoy me? Can't you see everyone else is sleeping?" Jianmei muttered under her breath.

Uncle Sunshine ignored Jianmei's grumbling and continued to play with her little face with his long, thin feather. Jianmei had no choice but to sit up with her eyes closed, but when she tried to get up, she found that her neck was tightly wrapped around a slender arm. It was as if the owner of that arm was afraid that she would disappear into thin air at any moment. In order not to wake the sleeping Zhuzhu, Jianmei carefully removed the arm from her neck.

Just as Jianmei was about to get up, she felt dizzy and had to go back to sleep.

Zhuzhu was having some kind of nightmare when a crystal-clear tear rolled down her fair, rosy cheek. Jianmei, who was resting with her eyes closed against the headboard, didn't notice anything amiss with Zhuzhu.

But after a while, Zhuzhu started talking in her sleep, "Rosa! Rosa! I miss your mother so much! I keep dreaming that your mother comes to my house with a change of clothes. Or I dream that your mother sits by my bedside and gently calls me Zhuzhu, Zhuzhu."

Jianmei was curious when she heard Zhuzhu talking in her sleep. Just as she was about to lie down next to Zhuzhu, Jianying, who was fast asleep, suddenly hugged her leg. Jianmei shook her head helplessly and lay back down.

At this moment, Longzhen carried a bowl of honey water and sat down by Jianmei and Zhuzhu's bedside. Longzhen gently patted Jianmei's back, and Jianmei, seeing her mother sitting by the bed, quickly got up.

Longzhen, worried that her eldest daughter would wake her other sleeping daughters, gestured for Jianmei to slow down. Jianmei understood her mother's meaning and was about to slow down when Zhuzhu woke up.

While rubbing her sleepy eyes, Zhuzhu said, "Yiyao, why are you awake so early? Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

Longzhen smiled and said, "What are you talking about, child? If I sleep in late in the morning, who will make breakfast for us?"

Zhuzhu winked playfully at Longzhen; "Of course it's me! From now on, I'll make all the breakfasts for my good medicine doctor!"

Longzhen: Great! Then I can sleep in late in the mornings from now on.

Zhuzhu: Yes! Yes! You don't know how comfortable it is to sleep in late in the morning!

Longzhen: Hehe! I think I should make breakfast for our family from now on! You guys will grow up faster if you sleep in a little longer.

Zhuzhu, we're not little girls anymore! Do we still need to grow taller?

Jianmei: Hi! Sister-in-law, you don't know that in Yiyao's eyes, we've always been children who never grow up.

After saying that, Jianmei immediately jumped off the bed and ran quickly towards the door of the room.

Longzhen; What's wrong with you, child? Why are you running so fast?

Jianmei: Shake it! Today is market day! Are we going to take our catch from yesterday afternoon to the market to sell?

Longzhen also wanted to say that the results of your battle yesterday afternoon were already long gone, even though Jianmei's chubby figure was already in Dad's and Uncle's bellies.

Jianmei dashed into her kitchen like a rocket, and just as she was about to head towards the place where she kept small fish and loaches, she saw her father already standing there waiting for a long time.

Old Man Yang: My Fatty, what are you doing here so early in the morning instead of washing your face and brushing your teeth?

Jianmei was afraid of upsetting her father, so she didn't answer Old Man Yang's question. Jianmei walked past Old Man Yang and lifted the lid off the bucket.

Jianmei looked down and saw that the bucket was empty, so she sat down on the floor and burst into tears.

Where are the fish? Where are the fish? Where did the little fish we caught go? I remember putting them here, how could they be gone?

Seeing how amusing his daughter was, Old Man Yang joked, "The loach and small fish you and your sister-in-law fried smell so good! Of course, it'll attract mice to our house!"

Upon hearing her eldest daughter crying, Longzhen quickly ran to Jianmei's side and squatted down.

Longzhen pointed to the dark, muddy ground and said to Jianmei, "How old are you now? How can you be so insensible? How could you sit down without even looking at how dirty this floor is?"

Jianmei heard her mother talking to her, so she opened her eyes and looked at Longzhen. A crystal-clear tear was slowly sliding down Jianmei's little face.

You silly child! You forgot that we invited relatives from Jiekou to our house for dinner last night. The loach and small fish you fried have already been completely digested by our relatives.

Haha! My chubby little girl got drunk last night and was still half asleep this morning!

Longzhen, even though you think alcohol is a good thing, you should still drink less! Jianmei feels they are still very young, so she tries to keep them from drinking too much. Last night, Jianmei asked if drinking too much alcohol would damage their brains.

Old Man Yang said impatiently, "Don't listen to Jianmei's nonsense. She's talking rubbish about how drinking will ruin your brain."

Longzhen shook his head helplessly and then took Jianmei's hand and walked towards the washroom.

Wherever people gather, there is gossip, and the small ditch in front of Zhuzhu's house is the liveliest place. Many villagers like to bring their clothes from the previous day to the ditch in front of Zhuzhu's house to wash them.

Grandma Jia: Hehe! Have you heard? Yesterday, Longzhen's youngest daughter fell in the field and got covered in mud.

My mother-in-law said: Haha, my husband told us about this as soon as he got home yesterday evening. I can't help but laugh at the thought of Yingying covered in mud from head to toe!

Grandma Jia: You know, Longzhen is really something! How could she let those older kids take Yingying to the fields to do chores without her consent?

Grandma said that Longzhen told her that yesterday afternoon she had to go to the vegetable garden to plant some vegetables and didn't have time to take care of Yingying. That's why she asked the older children to take Yingying to the field.

Grandma Kui patted Grandma Yi's shoulder; "Have you all heard? The child who fainted in the farmland of Longzhen a few days ago has unfortunately passed away!"

Grandma, grandma; Ah! How could this happen? I saw this child so lively and energetic just a while ago, how could he suddenly pass away?

Grandma: Oh! How could this happen? I saw this child running around happily just a while ago, how could he suddenly pass away?

Grandma Kui; there's a rumor going around that there's a nasty thing living in Longzhen's field. This nasty thing won't harm us adults, but it will attack our children!

Grandma put her clothes in the ditch and then put them on the stone slab and rubbed them vigorously.

So, I often tell my younger brother at home not to go play in Longzhen's fields for a while! To avoid any trouble. Grandma Kui suddenly lowered her voice.

Grandma Jia: I heard that yesterday afternoon, Longzhen's two girls fished out a lot of snails and loaches from her farmland!

Grandma Kui: I've heard about this too! Old Man Yang even went to the border crossing to invite many relatives over for dinner...

Ding-dong! Good morning, my dear master! I didn't pop up automatically, have you forgotten about me?

While Zhuzhu was brushing her teeth, the system in her head popped up.

Zhu Zhu spoke through her consciousness and the system: "Hmm, what are you doing in my head? Aren't you going out to play? Let me tell you! The countryside is now filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, and the air is fresh. Even in modern times, my hometown is known as the 'Deep Breathing Town.'"

Um! Just to clarify, I'm just a system that can only stay in your brain forever. If one day I really disappear from your head, that will be... ...

Okay! Don't say any more, I know what you mean!
