Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Selling Fish_1

By the time they got home, it was pitch dark.

The three brothers had icicles on their clothes, shivering from the cold.

Elder Brother Jiang couldn't stop sneezing and rubbing his nose.

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Zhou hurriedly pulled her husband to the back of the stove to undress and warm up.

Old Man Jiang and his wife were scrambling about. They first had their grandson fetch clothes, then instructed their granddaughter to heat up water to wash the faces and hands of the eldest, second, and third sons, and change their clothes.

"Aiya, how did you all get so wet? Ah, your hair is filled with ice."

The old lady Jiang was frantic; she quickly searched for dried evodia fruit to brew hot water for the children to dispel their coldness.

After warming himself by the fire, Third Brother Jiang recovered quickly. With his thirteen-year-old nephew, they temporarily stored the fish in the large vat at home and ate two bowls of steaming dough knots before he went home.
