“It’s like this, Chief. During this period of time, my family traded wild vegetables and prey for a lot of things. My family has enough support for now, so I want to bring my family to the mountains more often to see if there’s anything in the mountains that can help the village.” Jiang Chuan said carefully.

Unexpectedly, the village chief frowned when he heard that. “Jiang Chuan, I know you want to do something for the village, but you can’t go up the mountain. You were lucky to come down from the mountain before, you can’t go up again.”

After listening to the village chief’s words, Jiang Chuan respected the village chief a lot more.

Not only did Jiang Chuan’s decision to go up the mountain not affect the village chief, but if it was really as Jiang Chuan said, it might even bring benefits to the village. However, the village chief objected immediately. In this era of famine, the village chief really put people first.

Although he knew that the village chief was being kind, Jiang Chuan still had to say it out loud. “Chief, you said it yourself. We might not be able to count on the autumn harvest this year, so we have to take risks. Compared to the autumn harvest, we might as well explore the way ahead of time. Besides, our family has been to the mountains many times during this period of time. Nothing will happen.”

The village chief frowned. How could he not understand this principle? However, entering the mountain…

“When you went up the mountain before, you always walked around the foot of the mountain. If you want to explore deeper, we will go together. It’s too dangerous for your family to move alone.”

Seeing that the village chief insisted, Jiang Chuan had no choice but to give up. At the same time, he brought up another matter that his daughter had told him before, which was to teach the children to read.

Although studying might not be of much use now, in a few years, the country would start to recruit talent in large quantities. Some jobs would require employees to be literate. Even if they were not of use now, they might be of use in the future.

Jiang Chuan told the village chief about his thoughts and he agreed with them.

There were only a few officials in their village who were literate, but since the drought, they had been busy running to the town or finding ways to save food. The rest of the people in the countryside did not care about these things.

After Jiang Chuan left, he told Jiang Xia what had happened, and Jiang Xia also shared the conversation her mother had with the village chief’s wife.

Jiang Xia and Jiang Gu were the only ones left outside. However, Jiang Gu was asleep in the carriage as she had not been sleeping well for the past few days.

Zhou Lan saw what was happening and carried Jiang Gu out of the carriage to put her to bed first. Before leaving, Zhou Lan told Jiang Xia to stay put and wait for her father.

“Father, Mother is really thoughtful. Now that Village Chief’s wife has spoken, if anyone wants to slander us in the future, we will have someone to support us.”

Jiang Chuan nodded.

Jiang Chuan and Zhou Lan began to plan for the mountain while Jiang Xia prepared how to teach the children.

Their plan was probably to live on the mountain for the time being, dig up more seeds and cultivate them in the Jiang Xia space to see what plants there were.

When winter came, they would get more firewood at home. If there were children who wanted to learn to read, they would come to their house directly. Jiang Xia would start by teaching the letters and help the children in the village learn more knowledge bit by bit.

Before they went up the mountain, they had to make another trip to the town to exchange more things.

Time gradually passed, and in the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.

Not only was Jiang Xia’s family busy, but the town was also busy.

The town received news that someone of a very high rank came down to inspect the town. The man from town quickly closed his shop door and asked everyone to go to the other grains station to buy and sell grains.

However, Jiang Chuan’s family managed to arrive before the man close the door. It was only Jiang Chuan and his family there. Although they had borrowed the carriage from the village, they told the village chief that they had things to discuss and that the other villagers did not need to go along.

After everything that happened, the village chief trusted Jiang Chuan’s family quite a bit and agreed that Jiang Chuan’s family could visit town alone.

Although Jiang Chuan was not very familiar with driving the carriage at first, he got used to it after awhile..
