“Xiao Wu? You’re here?”
Upon hearing Jiang Chuan’s words, Jiang Xia also put down her work and scurried to the entrance, craning her neck to get a better look.
“Uncle Wu, you came at the perfect time. We have something for you!”
Jiang Xia reminded Jiang Chuan that they had brought something for Xiao Wu and their neighbor, Xiao Li.
“Right, right, come in quickly. We brought something for you.”
While speaking, Jiang Chuan gestured for Xiao Wu to come in. Before Xiao Wu could even say a word, he was cut off by the pair and simply followed them in.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtXiao Wu’s visit this time was quite casual. He saw them descend from the mountain and came to check on them. He even brought some food along.
The mother and daughter, who were tidying the house, were swift and efficient. In a short while, they had already cleaned the house nearly spotless and promptly invited Xiao Wu to sit down.
“Third Brother, I came today because…”
Before Xiao Wu could finish his sentence, Jiang Xia, bubbling with excitement, brought out a small package from the house and handed it to Xiao Wu.
“Uncle Wu, these are special seeds we saved for you and Uncle Li. These seeds are quite rare, and you can try planting them. Even if they don’t grow, it won’t affect anything.”
Xiao Wu was momentarily stunned, holding the package and uncertain of how to react.
Seeing Xiao Wu stunned, Jiang Xia waved her hand in front of his face and called out curiously, “Uncle Wu?”
Only then did Xiao Wu snap out of his daze, his eyes glistening with moisture.
Previously, he had always been tagging along with Jiang Chuan’s family, which displeased his own family. They claimed that Jiang Chuan, being driven out by the old Jiang family and had no future. They told him to not interact with them anymore.
Despite telling them about exchanging rabbit meat for grain, and Jiang Chuan’s family inviting him for meals, his family remained skeptical. They felt that without the support of relatives, it would be hard to get by in these times.
Although Xiao Wu disagreed, he couldn’t argue against his family, so he resorted to secrets visits to Jiang Chuan’s house.
No matter what others said, he thought Jiang Chuan was practical and capable, and he was willing to stick with them. He didn’t expect anything in return. Now, he can’t wait to see his family’s reaction when he brings these gifts home.
“Third brother, this gift is too valuable. I… I heard the village chief saying that you guys were going to share the seeds you found with everyone. I can just take those.”
Tears filled Xiao Wu’s eyes, which made Jiang Chuan burst into laughter. He patted Xiao Wu on the shoulder and said, “What’s with the tears, big guy? A man’s tears should not be shed lightly!”
Hearing this, both Jiang Xia and Jiang Gu, the young girls, stifled their laughter, while Xiao Wu turned his face aside, sniffing his nose.
“Third Brother, I don’t even know how to thank you for all these. I’ve heard from the Supply and Marketing Cooperative that vegetable seeds are expensive due to the difficulty of harvesting them. You guys gave me so many all at once. I…”
Xiao Wu spoke with a nasal voice, making Jiang Chuan family to not know whether to laugh or cry.
In fact, Xiao Wu was right. If it weren’t for Jiang Xia’s interspace, they might not have been able to collect so many seeds.

As they were chatting inside the house, a call came from outside.
“Has Third Brother Jiang returned?”
It was the voice of their neighbour, Xiao Li.
Jiang Chuan asked his family to entertain Xiao Wu as he went to open the door. Meanwhile, Jiang Xia plopped down next to Xiao Wu, starting to explain the characteristics of each type of seed to him.
Although Xiao Wu wasn’t very educated, he had a good memory. He was able to remember everything after Jiang Xia explained it once. By the time she was explaining the second type, Jiang Chuan had brought Xiao Li in.
The same process happened again, but Xiao Li was even more excited than Xiao Wu. Xiao Li not a man of many words, could only express his gratitude repeatedly, his eyes red-rimmed.
Jiang Xia explained the details about the seeds to both of them, and they listened attentively, nodding in agreement. In the end, it seemed as if they were looking at Jiang Xia with a hint of admiration.
Perhaps it might not be appropriate to say that two adults were admiring a child, but that was how Jiang Xia felt.
“Third Brother, Xiao Xia is really smart. She can distinguish and remember so many all these things. If it weren’t for our poor conditions now, a smart child like Xiao Xia would have to send her to school even if our families pooled the money!”
Xiao Wu who often followed the village chief around and had seen more of the world than most villagers. He knew the importance of education..
