Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Transportation was inconvenient at this time and people rarely traveled around. It is as if there was a line between the town and the countryside that is difficult to cross. This made many girls hope that they could marry into town.

The soldiers heard the entire conversation between the Young Master Shen and Officer Wang previously and he could not help but agree. The situation in the countryside was indeed the way the little girl had described.

The soldier’s family always lived in a village. His mother wrote a letter to him two days ago asking if he could mail back some food stamps so that she could purchase food at the grains station.

It was ridiculous how as farmers, they still had to go out to purchase grains.

Seeing that the soldier was silent, Shen Mo left without saying anything.

Putting Shen Mo aside, Jiang Xia felt a little uneasy after chatting with his father.

“What’s wrong, Jiang Xia?” Jiang Gu asked Jiang Xia, “Are you unhappy?”

Jiang Xia smiled, “No, I’m just thinking about how much food we can get from the autumn harvest this year.”

At this time, the group of people had already set foot on the road back to the village. Jiang Xia was already familiar with this road after walking it several times. Every time she saw the slightly desolate scenery by the roadside, she could not help but feel heavy.

Since the spring planting, it had only rained three times during the autumn harvest.

Jiang Xia was worried, and so was Jiang Gu. Although she knew that her parents and sister were very capable, what about her friend’s families? Without food, people would starve to death.

“Jiang Xia, let’s go back to the village and tell Grandpa Chief to let everyone start stockpiling food now! Only eat the food that cannot be kept for long.”

Jiang Gu’s serious tone made Jiang Xia laugh.

In fact, the village chief had already mentioned this when they were exchanging food, but her sister’s brain was indeed fast.

Jiang Xia thought for a moment and moved to the carriage, sitting beside Jiang Chuan.

“Dad, other than wild vegetables and hunting, we have to think of other ways. I remember that there are many crops that can be planted after the autumn harvest. Although they have to be harvested next year, it is also a way to increase food. Also, during these two trips up the mountain, I found that there are many seeds of herbs in the mountains. We can try to cultivate them in my space. If it works, we can give them to the villagers and let them grow them themselves. It can also be a source of income.”

Zhou Lan frowned and said, “Xiao Xia, you are worrying too much. This is not something we should worry about.”

Zhou Lan said this not because she was cold-blooded, but because she had experienced being backstabbed despite being a good person.

In the modern world, when Jiang Chuan’s company was thriving, Zhou Lan saw a child who was about the same age as Jiang Xia at an event that could not afford to attend school. She felt sorry for the child and provided him with assistance.

Who would have thought that as the child grew up, not only did he not feel grateful towards Zhou Lan, but he hated her instead?

It was all because of a pair of branded shoes. After the child successfully entered high school like Jiang Xia, a lot of students started comparing him to others. He contacted Zhou Lan and asked for a pair of branded shoes but Zhou Lan rejected him. Zhou Lan thought that as high school students, their main focus should be on studies and not who wore the most expensive shoes.

That child felt humiliated and started insulting Zhou Lan on the internet.

After being married for so many years, Jiang Chuan could tell at a glance what Zhou Lan was worried about. He smiled and said, “It won’t happen like before. There are still many good people in this world. You can’t stop trusting people just because you fell once, right?”

“Mother, you should still remember the three years of famine written in the books, right?” Jiang Xia said. “When I was learning this, I went to check the information. The records were far more tragic than the textbooks. Now that we are in this era, how can we not want to do something to save it? Mother, think about those uncles and aunts who helped us.. Do you really have the heart to watch them die in front of us?”
