Chapter 13

It rained yesterday.

Today it is not as hot.

There is both sunshine and wind.

Jiang Wan left.

There is still a faint scent lingering in the courtyard.

It is not just the fragrance from Jiang Wan's body, but also the old clothes she left behind carried the fragrance.

Jiang Mianmian does not really like that smell.

Jiang Yu sits on the wooden post in the yard, concentrating on tearing off the cracked heel of her foot.

The pain makes her whimper and tears roll down.

Jiang Mianmian feels the pain just watching.

Her little fists tighten unconsciously.

As a result, after sister tore off the skin on her heel, she did not even treat it, just rinsed it with the cool water in the yard. Seeing that it stopped bleeding, she started sewing again.

Lying in a small wooden basin, Jiang Mianmian watches her sister happily working again.

Sister's personality is quite good. Other than speaking unpleasantly, she is happy most of the time.

She also does not hold grudges.

Jiang Mianmian's infant brain ponders for a while, then feels tired again and wants milk.

As she turns her head, she sees that little ant has crawled up again.

Persevering, it carefully crawls on the edge of the wooden basin.

It is very close. She can see that the little ant is very fit.

Jiang Mianmian quickly responds: "Ah ah." (Yes yes)

"Brother can take things from the prostitute, why can't I take things from Jiang Wan's side."

"Yi ya ya ya" (You're right)

"But brother helped them with work, he took payment, I didn't help Jiang Wan, she gave it to me for no reason. This must be what father said, gift for no reason, either adultery or theft. Whatever, since she gave it, not taking it would be a waste."

Jiang Mianmian nods: "Ah ah." (That's true too)

Sister just keeps repeating herself in circles, not a single useful piece of information was received.

Jiang Mianmian listens anxiously.

As a result, when she turns her head again, hey, that little black ant has crawled up again, crawled to the edge of the wooden basin again, and it even strenuously pushed a leaf on top?

If you don't look closely, you'd think a leaf just happened to fall on the basin.

Jiang Mianmian watches as the little ant drags the leaf, one step, two steps, three steps forward, crawling to the spot she pushed it down before.

Hiss!

Does it think I'm playing with it?

She really does not want to play.

Or is it pushing the leaf over to thank her?

It's said ants eat leaves.

Jiang Mianmian does not know how to communicate with this little ant. If she also had antennae on her head that would be great, maybe touching tips would convey meaning.

Watching the little ant laboriously dragging the leaf is quite amusing.

She reaches out her hand, wanting to grab that leaf.

Then she sees the little ant thinking she wants to push it again. Before her fingers even get close, it tightly grabs the leaf and jumps down first.

Clutching the leaf, the little ant floats down slowly, like holding a parachute...float...float...
