I sold grilled fish in the 70s!

Jianmei said, "I know that! But I'm a little reluctant to part with the snails and small fish we caught. Why don't you sell them and make some more money?"

Jianmei and Zhuzhu hurried downstairs and stopped beside the sink where they usually washed vegetables. A wave of familiarity washed over them instantly. How many joyful afternoons had they spent here in their past lives? This sink, now covered in moss, had visited their dreams many times. Every morning when they woke up, they would find a large wet patch on their pillow. Since Jianmei's passing, they often recalled the times they played and frolicked with Jianmei and Jianying when they were children...

Just as Zhuzhu was lost in thought, a string of water droplets flew towards her and landed squarely on her face. Looking closer, she realized that Jianmei was spraying water on her.

Jianmei said, "Wow! Sister-in-law, what are you thinking about so intently?"

Zhuzhu shook her head. It's nothing!

Holding a pair of pliers in one hand, Zhuzhu picked up a snail from the pool with the other and quickly cut off its tail with the pliers. Her movements were incredibly practiced, as if she did it all the time!

Jianmei, standing to the side, wasn't as skilled as Zhuzhu! Instead, she was clumsy. With a little effort, a snail actually jumped out of the pliers' clutches and hopped towards the ditch.

When Zhuzhu saw this, she burst into laughter. "Jianmei! How can there be someone in this world as incompetent as you?"

Jianmei pouted and said, "I'm not a god! I can't do everything..."

Zhuzhu gently nudged Jianmei with her shoulder and asked softly, "Do you believe in Bodhisattvas?"

Jianmei thought for a moment and said, "I think so! That night I seemed to see a sway..."

Zhuzhu asked affectionately, "What are you doing, Yiyao?"

Jianmei scratched her hair helplessly, "I can't remember for a moment! How come my memory is so bad now! Has Jianlin kept hitting my head until it's gone stupid!"

Jianlin, who had just finished showering, overheard this and was about to raise his hand to hit Jianmei on the head when he remembered what she had just said. So he had to pull his hand back down.

Jianlin said he was just stupid to begin with, yet he blamed others! My little pig Luo Luo's intelligence is truly worrying!

Jianmei was very unhappy when she heard her brother say that about her. She scooped up a lot of water with both hands and splashed it on Jianlin!

Of course, the proud and arrogant Jianlin wouldn't let his sister bully him like that! Without hesitation, he filled a basin with water from the sink and was about to splash it on Jianmei.

When Jianmei saw her brother's actions, she realized something was wrong and that her brother was about to unleash his fury, so she turned and ran.

As Jianmei ran, she teased Jianlin, "My dear brother, we're gentlemen! Gentlemen use words, not fists!"

Jianlin, carrying a basin of water, quickly chased after Jianmei, spilling the water everywhere because the basin was too full.

As Jianmei ran, she thought about how to shake off her annoying brother. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she ran quickly towards a moss-covered pond ahead. Just as she reached the edge of the pond, Jianmei suddenly stopped. Due to inertia, Jianlin couldn't stop abruptly, slipped on the moss, and fell into the small pond.

The basin of water that Jianlin was holding flew out due to inertia, and by sheer coincidence, it spilled all over Old Man Yang.

Old Man Yang was furious when he was doused with that basin of water.

Yang Jianlin, what exactly are you doing?

Old Man Yang gritted his teeth and spoke each word carefully.

Seeing that his father was about to lose his temper, Jianlin immediately cowered. He instinctively covered his head with his hands and squatted down.

Seeing his only son so cowardly, Old Man Yang couldn't bring himself to hit him. He squatted down and spoke to Jianlin in as gentle a voice as possible, "Hey! Son, what are you doing? I haven't even hit you yet, and you're already backing down? Are you even a real man anymore?"

Jianlin looked up in disbelief at his father, who was soaking wet. In Jianlin's memory, his father was always very strict! Whenever any of his siblings misbehaved or acted naughtily, his father would criticize them severely, but never like this.

This scene was witnessed by Old Man Yang! Upon seeing this, Old Man Yang quickly ran to Zhuzhu's side.

Old Man Yang said, "Zhuzhu, what's wrong with you today? Who were you talking to just now? And what is Xiaodu?"

Just as Zhuzhu was wondering how to explain, Old Man Yang spoke up again, "How did I get here? What am I doing here?"

Zhuzhu said, "Yes! Dad, what are you doing here? Did you take off your wet clothes and change them?"

Old Man Yang slapped his forehead hard. "That's right! I came to check on how your snails and small fish are coming along!"

Zhuzhu said, everything is ready! You and your relatives and friends in Jiekou can just wait to eat!

Old Man Yang clapped his hands happily and said, "Good! Good! Good!"

Old Man Yang went out wearing his straw hat and raincoat. After Old Man Yang had gone some distance, the system in Zhu Zhu's head popped up again.

"Hey! How could you be so silly? I'm the Heavenly Virtue System that comes with you, so of course I'm in your mind!"

Zhuzhu exclaimed in surprise, "How did you get into my head? Come out quickly!"

system.......

I can't explain it to you in a sentence or two. In short, from now on, when you talk to me, please talk to me silently in your mind. Otherwise, people will really think you've lost your mind! You like talking to thin air.

Oh! I forgot to wear a mask and disposable gloves when I was processing the snails! The fish and snails are a bit dirty today.

A short while later, a pair of disposable gloves and a mask appeared in front of Zhuzhu.

The system said haughtily, "By the way, if you need anything in the future, just do it this way!" It spoke to them in a very gentle tone.

Seeing that his son was stunned again, Old Man Yang put his arms around Jianlin's shoulders and gently shook him.

Jianlin then came to his senses. "What's wrong, Dad?"

Seeing that her father wasn't angry, Jianmei tentatively joked, "Dad, when you were shaking my brother just now, did you hear a thumping sound?"

Old Man Yang said, puzzled, "It sounds like I heard a little water coming from your brother's head."

Jianmei said, "It's over! My older brother has lost his mind!"

When Jianlin heard Jianmei say that to him, he raised his arm to hit Jianmei's head, but his hand was firmly grabbed by Old Man Yang.
