Jiang Chuan nodded and followed the man into the house.
Although Jiang Xia was smart, she was still young and it was best if she was not involved in the conversation they are going to have.
Hence, while everyone was busy, she brought Jiang Gu to the supply and marketing club to walk around.
Previously, she had been in a hurry and did not take a good look at the goods inside. However, they had some extra time today.
Jiang Xia and Jiang Gu entered from the door on the extreme left and saw a dazzling array of daily necessities such as candles, soap, mirrors, scissors, and so on.
The items are all organized nicely. Apart from daily necessities, there were also cloth, grain, salt, oil, pastries, and other commodities.
There were not many people there in the supply and marketing cooperative there at the time. It did not take long for the two of them to finish exploring the place.
…..
Before they left, Jiang Xia stopped in her tracks as Jiang Gu pulled her hand. Jiang Xia realized then that her sister was still a child. Jiang Gu was staring at the candy in a container with a longing expression.
Ever since the biscuits they had, Jiang Xia had not asked her father to take out anything else from the car. Not to mention that those items were modern days products. If Jiang Gu were to try that food, it was not going to be easy to live knowing she will not be having it anymore.
“Wait until these two years arc over,” Jiang Xia consoled. “When everything gets better, I’ll buy you lots of sweets.”
Jiang Gu nodded obediently and did not say anything else. The two of them left the supply and marketing club.
Jiang Xia was about to bring Jiang Gu around the town when she saw her carriage being surrounded.
As the sisters approached, they heard a girl in the crowd exclaim, “Young Master Shen is really handsome!”
Young Master Shen?
Jiang Xia and Jiang Gu took advantage of their small size and slipped into the crowd.
“Shen Mo! This is the dish I like! You’re not allowed to snatch it from me!” the girl said angrily.
The man called Shen Mo had his back facing the crowd. Jiang Xia couldn’t see his face, but his voice was already very pleasant.
“Jiang Qing, stop making a fuss.”
The two men beside Shen Mo saw that the matter had blown up and whispered something in his ear. Shen Mo turned around and gave the surround a good look. Only then did Jiang Xia see Shen Mo’s appearance.
The man’s facial features were well-defined and handsome. He was wearing a white shirt and dark green military pants. He stood straight and exuded the dignified aura of a soldier.
This face? Jiang Xia felt that it looked familiar.
Jiang Xia brought Jiang Gu to Jiang Chuan’s side. At this time, Jiang Chuan had already finished talking to the short man, and the short man was stuck between the man and the woman.
When Jiang Chuan saw Jiang Xia, he gave her an ‘OK’ sign that no one could see.
Jiang Xia’s eyes lit up. It seemed that the situation will get better as they could start doing small business in private.
“I don’t care. Shen Mo, this thing is mine. Pack it up for me.”
The girl called Jiang Qing pointed at the wild vegetables on the ground and said rudely.
Shen Mo took a deep look at Jiang Qing and turned to leave. When Jiang Qing followed him, she made sure to ask the short man to send the items to the house on the west side of the town.
“Dad, what’s going on?” Jiang Xia asked after the crowd had dispersed.
Jiang Chuan was about to answer when Zhou Lan interrupted him. “What else can it be? This little girl wants to attract that boy’s attention!”
“Huh?” Jiang Xia widened her eyes in surprise.
Zhou Lan continued to add, “That little girl was chasing after the boy. When she saw that the boy liked our wild vegetables, she said that she wanted to buy them for him. In the end, it turned out like what you saw!”
Jiang Gu opened her mouth wide, and Jiang Xia clicked her tongue in wonder.
“Can, can she do this?” Jiang Gu asked with her eyes wide open.
Zhou Lan saw the confused look on Xiao Gu’s face and instantly smiled.
Jiang Xia knew that this was not good. Her mother’s expression seemed like she was going to tell Jiang Gu about the story she read in the novel. Xiao Gu should not be misled by her mother and become someone that is obsessed with the happy ending kind of love.
“Mother, Xiao Gu is still young. Don’t tell her that you’ve seen those books and movies. If she becomes a person with bad morals, what will happen in the future?”
“No, no, I won’t. Hurry up and talk to your father.. He’s still waiting for you!”
