章節 204: Big Trouble in the Jiang Family

Aunt Guo's caution wasn't just about the advanced brigade title; she didn't want the entire brigade to resent Su Xiaoxiao because of someone else's mistakes. Winning the advanced brigade status wasn't just for prestige; it came with grain rewards, crucial for the grain-short winter months. After this year's selection, there would be a whole year until the next, giving people time to cool down.

"Yes, no rush. She's not showing yet anyway," Su Xiaoxiao agreed obediently.

After dinner, Jiang Yexun washed the dishes and the pot, then heated water for his mother and Su Xiaoxiao to soak their feet. Once everything was done, he tossed and turned in his room, waiting for the kerosene lamp in Aunt Guo's room to go out. After another ten minutes, he tiptoed out of his room and slipped into Su Xiaoxiao's.
