Jiang Xia nodded and wanted to put the candy back into Zhou Juan’s hand. However, Zhou Juan held her hand and said with a smile, “Don’t reject me! My father gave you these because he likes your family. Besides, my father works in a sugar factory. He can always get more!”

Jiang Xia could not reject the offer and took the candies.

Thinking of the sugar factory that Zhou Juan mentioned, Jiang Xia couldn’t help but ask, “A sugar factory? Is it out of town?”

Zhou Juan nodded. “It’s in the county town. It’ll take five to six hours by carriage from here to the county town. It’s a long distance, but the county town is much better than here. Oh right, if there’s a chance in the future, I’ll bring you there to take a look.”

“Alright!” Jiang Xia didn’t reject this. She would only be able to think of more ways to prevent everyone from starving if she saw more of them.

The sky was covered with a layer of orange gauze. The family sat on the carriage with relaxed expressions. Jiang Xia peeled a candy and placed it in Jiang Gu’s mouth.

Jiang Gu was so happy that she got to eat some sweets she felt like she was floating on clouds. Her body that was leaning against Jiang Xia went soft.

Jiang Xia poked Jiang Gu’s forehead and laughed. “Jiang Gu, look at your face.”

Jiang Gu continued to hug Jiang Xia’s arm, “Jiang Xia, candies are really delicious! Uncle Zhou is so generous to give us so much sugar.”

In fact, this was a pleasant surprise for Jiang Xia. She didn’t expect to be able to talk about the daughter of a sugar factory worker.

However, it did make sense to meet someone like her as people near the Shen Residence should be well off.

Jiang Chuan and Zhou Lan were driving the carriage in front. They turned around and looked at their two daughters who were snuggling together. There was helplessness in their eyes, but more so, they doted on them.

Xiao Xia was really not afraid of anything. No one was sure if this was a good or bad trait.

Jiang Xia actually went to the Shen residence to get people to talk about the current situation. She was still surprised by what the short man in town had said about higher-ups coming to inspect the situation.

After all that, she still manages to meet someone whose father works in a sugar factory and she had asked so many questions.

Jiang Chuan and Zhou Lan looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other’s eyes. It was their fault as parents for making their daughter worry so much every day.

Jiang Xia and Jiang Gu had fallen asleep on the bumpy ride home. Perhaps they were used to this road, or perhaps they were really tired.

On the other side, after Jiang Chuan’s family left, Zhou Juan and her father ate the stir-fried vegetables and could not help but sigh, “This is almost as good as meat!”

Zhou Juan’s father had the same feeling. After picking up some vegetables with his chopsticks, he said, “Xiao Juan, if Jiang Xia comes to town again in the future, you should get closer to her.”

“Hmm?”

Zhou Juan didn’t understand why her father would suddenly say this, but she was still quite willing to chat with Jiang Xia. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have invited her over today.

“I don’t think Jiang Chuan’s family is an ordinary farmer. Their mannerisms are very good, especially Jiang Xia’s. She’s a good girl. You can learn a lot from her.”

Zhou Juan nodded and recalled what Jiang Xia said the other day. “I don’t think she’s a twelve-year-old child.”

As she recalled, she remembered the sweet taste of the strawberries that day. When she had the chance, she would go to Jiang Xia and see if she could pick such sweet strawberries.

She still remembered the day she chatted with Jiang Xia. That night, she dreamed that she was eating strawberries!

Jiang Chuan returned to the village and told the village chief that the higher-ups might send people to visit the village but the village chief sat on the brick bed for a long time without answering.

Jiang Xia raised her head and looked at the village chief in confusion. The village chief’s expression was normal but the hand holding the pipe was trembling..
