Since he decided to go to the county town, Jiang Chuan wanted to bring Zhou Lan and Jiang Gu with him this time.
Ever since the village started having bus services, Jiang Gu had always wanted to ride the big four-wheeled bus. The last time they went to the city, only Jiang Xia and Jiang Chuan went, leaving Jiang Gu disappointed for quite a while. But this time, when she heard that she could also go, she was overjoyed.
Zhou Lan quickly packed some snacks for the journey. They planned to return on the same day, so there was no need to prepare much. As long as there was something to satisfy Jiang Gu and Jiang Xia’s midday cravings, it would be enough.
As she was packing, Zhou Lan asked, “What are we planning to exchange in the town this time?”
Jiang Xia had already thought about this question.
The few Isatis root plants they found on the mountain yesterday all belonged to Jiang Xia. Last night, she even set aside a piece of land in her interspace to plant them. After just one night, a large area of Isatis roots had grown.
Jiang Xia decided to take half of the Isatis roots to a pharmacy in the county town. If they could exchange it for some money, it would be great. If not, they could also exchange it for food tickets or something similar.
Winter was approaching, and although they had enough fabric at home, they lacked cotton. Without cotton, they couldn’t make cotton-padded jackets or quilts.
Initially, Jiang Xia wanted to exchange all the Isatis roots. But with the current drought in various places, suddenly presenting so many Isatis roots and claiming they were picked from the mountain wouldn’t be believable.
Then they planned to revisit the restaurant they had been to before, to exchange a basket of wild vegetables and some tickets for pork, so they could host guests in the evening.
As she was thinking, Jiang Xia suddenly had an idea, “Mom, your meat sauce is so delicious. Why don’t we bring a few jars of it to Jia Guang’s house in the county town to see if we can exchange it for some money?”
Jia Guang was the youngest son of a wealthy family. Every time Jiang Xia went to the city, he would buy a large basket of wild vegetables from her. This slightly arrogant but generous man had a particular pursuit of delicious food and paid great attention to the freshness of vegetables. This is why he was willing to spend a lot on her fresh and tender wild veggies.
It’s a pity he was born in this era, which hadn’t yet fully developed. Had he been born in later times, he would definitely be someone who values the quality of life.
After listening to her daughter describe this boy, Zhou Lan’s heart was ignited with excitement. She looked at her daughter with a teasing expression, thinking of all the romance novels she had read, “Sweetie, it seems like you have quite the romantic fortune. Do you think your superpower isn’t just having a special space, but also attracting endless romances?”
Jiang Xia was left speechless by her mother’s cheekiness. She wondered, weren’t her parents loving enough? Why were they always trying to matchmake her?
Ignoring her mother, Jiang Xia retreated into her space to pack.
Seeing her daughter’s shy demeanor, Zhou Lan chuckled to herself and cheerfully went to pack the meat sauce.
Early the next morning, before the dawn had fully broken, and a hazy light filled the horizon, outshining even the stars.
Jiang Xia’s family was already up and ready. Jiang Gu, still drowsy from sleep, was pulled out of bed, rubbing her eyes, and followed her family obediently.
They woke up this early not to catch the first bus but to head to the county town when the villagers were still asleep, and the roads were mostly empty. Jiang Chuan could drive their SUV to the county town. This would not only save time but also avoid the crowded buses.
After their previous unpleasant encounter with a mean woman on a bus, Jiang Xia had a bad impression of bus rides. She didn’t want Jiang Gu to have a bad experience, so she suggested driving early.
Jiang Chuan went out first to get the car, while Zhou Lan, holding Jiang Gu, followed with Jiang Xia. Once the door was securely locked, they proceeded outside.
Jiang Xia and Zhou Lan looked at the empty space behind Jiang Chuan, puzzled, “Why haven’t you brought out the car?”
Jiang Chuan was equally puzzled, “The car is right here. Can’t you see it?”
He looked up at the dim sky and pointed at the massive SUV.. Even if it was still dark, such a big vehicle shouldn’t be invisible, right?
