After rebirth, my childhood friend became a clingy person

17

There were too many things they bought, so Jiang Yuechu and Jiang Yannan discussed it and decided to hire an ox cart to send the things back. Jiang Yuechu followed the ox cart while Jiang Yannan rode his bike home.

The driver was Uncle Minfa from the east end of the village. He saw the little girl shivering in the cart, so he handed her a blanket in front of the cart and said, "Girl Yue, why are you wearing so little? Put this on quickly!"

At this time, Jiang Yuechu didn't care whether the felt was clean or not, and directly put it on his shoulders, which made him a little warmer. After blowing the cold wind for more than half an hour, he finally arrived home.

She unloaded the things on the ox cart, and then gave Uncle Minfa two cents. The uncle smiled and told her to call him if she had any problems in the town next time.

Jiang Yuechu nodded quickly, then carried the things back home. Jiang Yannan had already arrived home and had already burned charcoal in a basin.

It was only when Jiang Yueyi saw this that he remembered that he had forgotten to buy a stove.

Jiang Yannan dragged her to the charcoal brazier, sat her on a bamboo chair to warm herself by the fire, and looking at her red hands from the cold, he quickly pulled them over and rubbed them constantly, his eyes full of heartache.

Jiang Yuechu felt a little uncomfortable and tried to pull her hand out, but Jiang Yannan held it tightly. The boy lowered his head and rubbed her fingers carefully bit by bit, the back of her hand...

Looking at his focused expression, Jiang Yuechu was a little dazed and forgot to pull her hand out. Just like that, under his care, her hand slowly became warm.

"I forgot to buy the stove..." Jiang Yuechu suddenly came back to his senses and muttered.

"No need to buy a stove. I'll go chop some firewood tomorrow and burn more charcoal. We can just use the charcoal basin at night."

Using a charcoal basin is indeed much more convenient than a stove, but it consumes a lot of firewood, and Jiang Yannan will have to work hard again.

"You go collect firewood tomorrow. I'll go to the mountain to dig some winter bamboo shoots to sell."

"That thing doesn't taste good, will anyone want it?"

"Don't worry, it will definitely sell." People nowadays don't like to eat bamboo shoots, mainly because they don't know how to cook them. Once she makes them taste delicious, someone will definitely buy them.

After buying some meat in town in the morning, Jiang Yannan decided to have dumplings for dinner. Jiang Yuechu felt her mouth watering when she heard this. She nodded vigorously. It seemed like they hadn't had dumplings for a long time since they went to school.

It was mid-afternoon and the sun was no longer very warm. Jiang Yuechu hurriedly patted the quilt and put it away. When he returned to the kitchen, the boy had already prepared the stuffing and rolled out the dough.

Seeing that there was nothing she could do to help, she sat under the stove and made a fire.

The area under the stove is the warmest place in winter. Jiang Yuechu sits on a low stool, chin in hand, watching the busy boy intently.

He seemed to have grown taller, perhaps because the food was better. His whole body became taller and more slender. His once thin and pale face became handsome, and his facial features became clearer. His eyes were clear and bright, his nose was high, and his thin lips were slightly raised. He was a real beautiful boy. No wonder so many girls in the school liked him, including himself in his previous life, of course.

Jiang Yannan glanced at the girl on the stool, who seemed to be staring at his face in a daze. His ears began to turn red unconsciously. He used to hate this face of his, which brought him endless troubles at school, but today he felt secretly happy, as if Yue'er also liked this face of his.

Looking at the dazed girl, Jiang Yannan suddenly felt playful. He used his flour-soaked hands to touch Jiang Yuechu's face. The touch was smooth and delicate, and her skin was so soft that it seemed as if it could be blown away...

Jiang Yuechu was frightened by his sudden movement and almost fell off the stool. Fortunately, Jiang Yannan was quick to grab her arm.

Jiang Yuechu patted his chest with lingering fear, staring at him with all his might. The girl's eyes were sparkling, black and bright, and when she stared at him, she didn't look fierce at all, but rather a bit cute and charming.

Jiang Yannan's heart began to beat violently again. He turned around in a hurry and raised his hand to press on his chest, as if to suppress the heart that was beating faster and faster...

Jiang Yuechu looked at the young man standing there, his hands covering his heart, motionless, and was frightened. He quickly stood up and said, "Brother, what's wrong with you..."

"It's okay, go light the fire, the dumplings are ready to be put into the pot!"

"Is it really okay?"

"Um……"

……

"Sister Yuechu..."

When the two people in the kitchen were thinking about different things, a familiar voice came from outside.

As soon as Jiang Yue heard Chunyan's voice, he hurried out and opened the gate.

"Why is Chunyan here?"

"My mother said that she saw you guys coming back, so she asked me to bring you two fish. She caught them today..."

As he spoke, he handed over the two fish in the basin, each weighing probably less than two kilograms.

Jiang Yuechu didn't hesitate to take it and found a bucket to pour it in.

"Thank Aunt Zhang for me!"

"What's there to thank you for? My mom even asked me to come here to thank you!" Zhang Chunyan whispered in her ear. "My mom and I earned more than 200 yuan in one summer. My mom was so happy that she couldn't sleep for several days. If it weren't for you, how could we earn so much..."

"This is what you earned through your hard work. Why are you thanking me? It's too cold. Come eat at my house before you go back. We'll have dumplings tonight!"

"No, my mother has already cooked dinner at home. Then Yuechujie, I'll leave first!"

Seeing that she insisted on leaving, Jiang Yuechu didn't keep her any longer. "Do you have anything to do at home tomorrow?"

"no, what happened?"

"Then wait for me at home tomorrow. I'll call you and we'll go to the mountain to pick some bamboo shoots."

"I understand. I'm leaving now, Sister Yuechu."

Yuechu waved at her and waited until she was far away before closing the gate.

Back in the kitchen, the dumplings were ready, and the two of them were eating until they were steaming...

After washing the dishes, Jiang Yannan took some hot water from the hanging pot on the stove and washed his face and soaked his feet. Then he filled another basin with hot water and sent it to Jiang Yuechu's room...

The little girl was filling a glass bottle with hot water and stuffing it under the quilt.

Jiang Yannan put the basin on the ground, pressed Jiang Yuechu to sit on the bed, squatted down to take off her shoes, and slowly put her feet into the basin.

Jiang Yuechu stared at him blankly. "Brother..."

"Yue'er, it seems like I haven't washed your feet for a long time..."

"Brother, I... I've grown up..." Jiang Yuechu's face slowly turned red. She was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say. Her pair of snow-white feet were digging into the bottom of the basin, as if trying to dig a hole in it.

There was a hot charcoal basin burning beside the bed. Jiang Yuechu had never known that people could sweat in winter. Bubbles kept bubbling in her heart like boiling magma. The emotions that she had once suppressed deep in her heart suddenly jumped out and kept hitting her heart.

"Jiang Yannan..." she murmured.

Jiang Yannan's hands suddenly clenched the girl's feet, and his whole body stiffened. How long had it been since he heard her call his name?

"It hurts..." A soft cry woke him up, and he quickly let go of his hand and fled out of her room in a panic...
