"Wait a moment before you go,"
The two people looked at him in confusion, and he showed them his hand.
The hot weather dries clothes quickly, but fingers that have turned white from soaking become incriminating evidence. If the adults see it, they're in big trouble.
"Thank goodness Momo saw it. Let's wait here."
Among the three children, Chen Jia is the most afraid of adults.
Fang Yu's mother spoils her son, she never lays a hand on him no matter how mischievous he is, Jiang Mo follows a super good grandpa, and his parents have no control over him.
Chen Jia's mother is very busy with work and has a bad temper. When she makes a mistake, she will use bamboo sticks to whip her palms.
The three of them squatted under the shade of the tree, waiting, while the hot and dry wind blew towards them.
Chen Jia's fair face turned red from the heat, with sweat on her eyelashes, causing a bit of pain as it dripped into her eyes.
She has never been patient, and after a while, she couldn't squat still, constantly asking Jiang Mo, "Is it done yet?"
Fang Yu found her too noisy, so she climbed a tree and picked a few bunches of dark purple mulberries to finally shut her up.
Back at the design institute's residential area, Chen Jiafangyu greeted the adults at home and hurried to Jiang Mo's house to meet up.
They poured the spoils into the large basin in the kitchen, and Jiang Can excitedly reached out to touch it, only to be told by Chen Jia that clams can bite people, which scared him and made him withdraw his hand.
"Is your grandpa coming back late today, Momo?" Chen Jia asked, rolling her eyes.
Jiang Mo nodded.
Chen Jia said happily, "Then let's make dinner ourselves. Roasted river snails are so delicious."
None of them had ever cooked before, and Fang Yu felt a little excited.
"Which of you can cook?"
Chen Jia remembered helping her mother pick vegetables before, and volunteered by raising her hand.
Three people were hesitant, and Fang Yu was particularly blunt: "I think we should forget it. Chen Jia will definitely set the kitchen on fire when cooking."
Chen Jia was annoyed: "Don't underestimate me. The food I cook is delicious."
Chen Jia Remembering the scene of my mom cooking, she washed the rice in a proper manner and plugged in the rice cooker.
Jiang Mo fangYu Seeing her doing it quite competently, I felt relieved to hand over the cooking duties to her.
Chen Jia tied on Grandpa Jiang Mo's deep blue apron and raised her head, saying, "Welcome, esteemed guests. What would you like to eat?"
Jiang Mo: "Tomato and egg stir-fry."
Fang Yu: "Stir-fry river clams."
Jiang Can whispered on the side, "Sister Jia Jia, I remember grandpa said that river clams need to spit out sand first."
"Oh, Zhanzhan is right, the river clam needs to spit out the sand first."
Chen Jia drove them out, but Jiang Can refused to leave and insisted on helping Chen Jia to lay eggs.
Jiang Mo fangYu took the chessboard and lay on the living room floor to play Gomoku. Halfway through the game, there was a sudden scream from the kitchen.
Two boys rushed in and saw a fire in the pot. Chen Jia was standing on a stool, eyes wide with fear, holding a ladle full of water.
"Jia Jia don't--"
Jiang Mo was too late to stop it. Water poured into the boiling oil, and with a spark, the oil exploded like fireworks. Jiang Can, who was closest to the pot, immediately suffered the consequences.
Chen Jia had never heard Jiang Can cry so miserably before. Knowing that he had caused a big disaster, he was stunned for a few seconds, then also cried out in fear.
That night, in addition to the punishment for secretly playing in the water, Chen Jia also received a solid beating with bamboo sticks.
Mom really laid down the law this time. She knelt on the ground, her palms were red and bruised from being hit, and her skin was torn in one spot.
"Tell me, do you still dare to go to the river behind the adults' backs?"
"Wuwuwu... I'm too scared."
"Are you still going to open fire?"
"Mom, I was wrong, I won't do it again..."
Hearing her cry, the mother became even angrier and continued to beat her mercilessly. She heartlessly forbade her from crying, saying that she would be beaten again if she cried.
However, Fang Yu and Jiang Mo escaped unscathed as usual.
Jiang Can was urgently taken to the City People's Hospital by his grandfather. Jiang Mo's aunt, fearing that her son would be scarred, drove him back to Guangzhou from their relatives' home in Jingzhou overnight, and took him to the burn unit at a large hospital for treatment.
Because of this incident, Jiang Can's happy summer vacation ended early.
At the same time, Chen Jia's happy summer vacation also ended early.
Since the day after Jiang Can was taken away, her parents began to argue frequently, even resorting to violence. Finally, one night when no one was around, her mother asked Chen Jia who she would live with if her parents got divorced.
Chen Jia couldn't answer, and her world felt like it was falling apart.
Dad tells her stories, takes her to play everywhere, and mom makes all kinds of delicious food, and braids her hair and fans her with a hand fan.
Can't stand to be without one of them, she doesn't understand why they want to separate.
Could it be that because I never listen, the adults want to get a divorce?
Thinking of when they argued and mentioned her name, a sense of guilt struck Chen Jia, and she began to observe the adults' expressions.
As long as Mom has a cold face and Dad hangs his head, she becomes extremely fearful.
Children can't hide things in their hearts. In just a few days, her chin sharpened, her eyes widened surprisingly, and Fang Yu was startled when she brought pork rib and lotus root soup to her house.
"Chen Jia, why have you become so ugly?"
"Ayu, I want to ask you something," Chen Jia said with a worried expression.
"What?" Fang Yu raised the corner of his mouth.
"If you were my dad, would you dislike a child like me?"
