Chapter 42: Going up the mountain again

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Everyone praised Zhou Lan for her thoughtfulness and promised that they would complete building the house before sunset tomorrow.

That night, those who helped Jiang Chuan were all smiling from ear to ear. Thinking that there will be more vegetables tomorrow, many of them were so excited it was as if it was the new year.

In order to prevent any thieves, Jiang Chuan and Zhou Lan left their belongings in their neighbor’s house.

Jiang Chuan had learned that their neighbors were nice people from his conversation with the village chief. Most of them enjoy being alone which is why they moved to this part of the village.

Perhaps because of the excitement, Jiang Gu woke up earlier than usual and woke the whole family up.

Jiang Xia opened his eyes slowly and looked at the sky and figured out it was only about four o ‘clock. However, when she remembered that she had to go up the mountain later, she resisted the urge to sleep and got up.

Jiang Chuan and Zhou Lan were also in a daze, but they knew that they should only sleep after the house was built, so they got up one by one to wash their faces.

…..

Last night, they left a basin in front of their neighbor’s house. Water was in short supply these days. Jiang Chuan and Zhou Lan had to walk all the way to the village entrance to get half a bucket of water. The family took turns using it.

In this era where there was no food and clothing and hygiene was not so important.

Compared to Jiang Xia’s listless expression, Jiang Gu was a lot more excited, “Jiang Xia, this basin is so beautiful. It’s even better than the one in uncle’s room!”

Jiang Fu and Wang Fen loved their eldest son so much that they would send all the good things to their eldest son’s house.

Jiang Chuan’s situation was the complete opposite. Instead, he was scolded by the two because he had asked to change the broken basin when Jiang Gu got hurt using it.

Jiang Xia patted Jiang Gu’s head. She truly loved her younger sister, who had been bullied so much living with the Jiang family.

While Jiang Xia and Jiang Gu were chatting, Zhou Lan and Jiang Chuan were making breakfast. It wasn’t that the two sisters didn’t want to help, but they were forced not to by their father.

Last night, they had to borrow a big pot in order to cook the porridge. But this morning, Zhou Lan used a smaller pot so she did not need any help. All Jiang Chuan did was to make sure Zhou Lan did not feel hot while cooking.

The two of them were clearly an old couple, but they still like to stick together. Jiang Xia and Jiang Gu felt sour watching them as they also yearned for this kind of love. There are many people in the world, and it was not easy to meet someone to be the love of their life.

In the modern era, there was a saying that said love was a luxury that could only be encountered but not sought.

In order to prevent them from running out of energy, Zhou Lan used the water from Jiang Xia’s interspace when she cooked. Jiang Chuan took out an empty bottle of mineral water, and Jiang Xia put it back into the interspace after she finished using it.

After the family of four had a sumptuous meal, Zhou Lan brought Jiang Xia to the village entrance.

Jiang Chuan helped Zhou Lan carry her basket and said, “Be careful when you go up the mountain. Don’t travel too deep in. If you encounter any problem with wild beasts or even from the people that are going, hide. Come back soon.”

Jiang Chuan was right, there would always be some people with evil intentions in the year of the grain shortage.

Zhou Lan nodded and turned to look at Jiang Chuan and they smiled at each other.

Jiang Xia glanced at his mother, who was so strong that she could beat up five strong men on her own. Jiang Xia wanted to assume her father’s words were for her instead, yet her father was holding her mother’s hand while he was talking.

When Zhou Lan and her daughter arrived at the village entrance, they found that there were already eleven or twelve women waiting there with baskets on their backs. After interacting around, Jiang Xia confirmed that they were all people who were willing to help her family.

The village head’s wife was the first to speak, “Zhou Lan, I’ve counted for you. We still have three more wives going, let’s wait a little longer.”

Zhou Lan nodded. If it weren’t for the village head’s wife helping her, she really wouldn’t have remembered who was who.

After about five minutes, three more people arrived, and everyone was finally there.

Jiang Xia counted the number of people again. There were a total of 15 people. Since they were the ones to bring them up the mountain, they had to be responsible for them.

Seeing that the sky had already brightened, Zhou Lan and Jiang Xia led their people toward the mountain.

After walking this route twice, the mother and daughter were quite familiar with it. In addition, there were villages around, so they would not encounter any danger on the road. This was also why the village men agreed that their women could follow them up the mountain..
