Although Chen Ping agreed to his daughter Chen Meng’er’s request and said that he was going to the city to sell ginseng, he did not plan to bring his daughter with him.
As a father, he was not familiar with the city. He was unfamiliar with the place. Why would he bring his three-year-old daughter with him?
Because he was going to the city, Chen Ping and Liu Juan discussed for a while. They would not return the money they borrowed from Chen Ping’s brother, Chen Tao, for the time being. As they were going to be out of town, they had some money on them. So they planned to… wait until they sold the ginseng, then return the money to them.
Chen Ping and Liu Juan did not tell the three children at home when Chen Ping was going to sell the ginseng in the city. Chen Meng’er was also very obedient and did not ask this question because she knew clearly in her heart that even if you asked, you would not get the answer that she thought of.
Chen Haoxuan was a typical example of this. Ever since he heard that his father was going to sell ginseng in the city, he had remembered this matter in his heart. He was also tempted and wanted to go with her, so he would ask her parents from time to time, “Mom, when is dad going to sell ginseng in the city? Look, school is about to start soon.”
“There’s no rush. I’m quite busy these two days. I have to wait for the work in the city to be done before I go to sell ginseng in the city.” This was Liu Juan’s perfunctory answer to Chen Haoxuan.
Chen Haoxuan was a child after all. After asking many questions and getting the same answer, he threw this matter to the back of his mind.
Chen Meng’er, on the other hand, had been silently paying attention to her parents’ actions.
On the fourth night after Chen Meng’er discovered the ginseng, after dinner, Chen Meng’er saw her parents closing the door to their room and packing up something. When she saw this, Chen Meng’er’s spirits were lifted. She knew… her father should be leaving for the city tomorrow.
When she received the news that she wasn’t very prepared for, Chen Meng’er was slightly excited. Without batting an eyelid, she returned to the room where the three siblings were sleeping. Then, after her two brothers had fallen asleep, she closed her eyes, lay on the bed, and used her spiritual sense to enter the space. She began to tidy up. She packed some of the things in the supermarket that were in bulk, and some of the pastries that were currently sold on the market, into plastic bags. She also packed some candy.
Chen Meng’er saw that there was a dazzling array of delicious foods in the space supermarket, and she really wanted to take some out. However, the food was too eye-catching, and people would notice it if she took it out. Therefore, Chen Meng’er could only suppress the impulse in her heart and take some food out of the space.
That night, Chen Meng’er had something on her mind. Therefore, she didn’t fall asleep the whole night. At 4 am, when Chen Meng’er heard the movement in the next room, she sat up from the bed. Then, she quickly picked up the clothes that she had put on the bed and put them on. Then, she put on her shoes and got out of bed.
After everything was arranged, Chen Meng’er took the cloth bag of ginseng that her mother had given her as a reward and carried it on her shoulder. She was too small now. If she didn’t carry the cloth bag on her back… it would be completely dragged on the ground.
Although Chen Meng’er was excited, she also knew that she couldn’t wake up her two brothers at this time. Otherwise, let alone her, no one would be able to follow her this time.
Chen Meng’er gently opened the door and walked out. Then, she gently closed the door.
Chen Meng’er carried the cloth bag and went to the kitchen. At this moment, Liu Juan was preparing breakfast for her husband, Chen Ping, while Chen Ping was washing up. When the couple saw Chen Meng’er standing at the door…. their hands paused.
