Shocking The World After Bringing My Family Back In Time!

Chapter 45  A good meal

Zhou Lan blushed and kept quiet. It was Jiang Xia who answered frankly, "It's not that we are not willing to help. We just wanted to make sure we repay the people who helped us when we most needed it. If we manage to find more places with better harvests in the future, we will naturally share it."

The village chief's wife smiled generously, "That's right. Xiao Xia is the one who understands and knows how to repay the kindness. Zhou Lan, you and your husband are really blessed. Look at how smart your kid is."

Jiang Xia blushed in embarrassment at the compliment and Zhou Lan nodded with a smile. All mothers enjoy hearing praises about their daughters.

"Oh right, I suddenly thought of something. When I went to town to exchange for food yesterday, I forgot to ask if wild vegetables can be exchanged for food. Fellow villagers, maybe we can dig up some more and see what we can exchange for."

After Zhou Lan's reminder, the women finally reacted and went back to dig up some vegetables. However, there was still quite a lot left, which gave the wild vegetables time to grow again.

When they returned to the village, they took another route that did not pass by the other villages.The road into the village had also been changed to a path that was not often used.

The group left early and returned to the village to prepare for noon.

Jiang Xia's eyes lit up when she saw that they had already reached the roof of the house.

"Zhou Lan, you guys are back so soon!" A young boy with sharp eyes immediately saw the team carrying baskets and shouted.

The men who were helping to build the house also looked over and see their wives.

"Zhou Lan, how many wild vegetables did you guys manage to harvest?"A man asked as he jumped down from the roof.

Jiang Xia chuckled, revealing her small teeth. She placed her small basket backpack on the ground for everyone to see.

The small basket was filled to the brim, and the green vegetables made one's appetite increase.

"Xiao Xia! Where on earth did you find such a good wild vegetable? I'm getting hungry."

The village chief's wife walked to his side and showed him the half-filled basket of wild vegetables. The village chief's eyes were wide open. This time, it was not only the Jiang Xia family that had wild vegetables. The other families that had come to help had wild vegetables to eat as well.

This made the village chief sigh. He had offered to help Jiang Chuan and his family because they were in trouble. It had to be true that good people will be rewarded.

A group of married men looked at the wild vegetables that their wives had brought back and wished they could have a bite of the unwashed vegetables. As for those who were not married, they could only watch others show off to them.

"Hey! Old Li, are you still happy being single? There are so many benefits to marrying a wife! When I get home, my wife can even cook wild vegetables for me! Are you envious?"

The man known as Old Li spat at the person who spoke, "Zhou Lan is taking us there tomorrow! What are you showing off for?"

"Oh, it is tomorrow! Oh, you even have to go up the mountain yourself! Tsk tsk!"

The speaker deliberately dragged out his voice. Old Li hated him so much while everyone just laughed when they saw them bickering.

The men all mentioned that they will skip lunch and try to finish the house in one go. Instead, they would have a good meal in the evening and then go home to sleep.

Jiang Chuan's family was very happy to see them being so forthright. Zhou Lan brought Jiang Xia and Jiang Gu to the well to get water to wash the vegetables. They didn't expect the other wives to come too, with extra vegetables in their hands.

Jiang Xia was surprised and asked, "Why are you all washing the vegetables too? The wild vegetables that mother and I dug up are enough for us to cook this wild vegetable dish."

One of the women looked at Jiang Xia and smiled, "It's a good day today considering your house will be done.Thanks to you, we've dug up so many wild vegetables. My husband said to get some spices from home so we can cook a good meal."

A group of women was washing vegetables by the well, all of them showing smiles.

However, in the eyes of some people, this smile was not the same. Some of their eyes turned red as they looked at the green vegetables in their hands.
