The journey back to the village was long. When they ca, Jiang’s family had hitched a ride with Zhou Juan’s father.

On their return, however, they were riding back grandly on a donkey cart, with Jia Guang included.

When they returned to the village, the sky was almost dark. However, yet it didn’t stop familiar faces from greeting the family from a distance as they approached.

Everyone was curious. They wondered why they had returned to the village so soon.

As they reached the entrance to their ho, many villagers had already rushed to Jiang Chuan’s door after hearing the news.

“Brother Jiang, why are you back so soon?”

Their neighbor Xiao Li was undoubtedly the happiest to see them. Thanks to Zhou Lan, who always invited Xiao Li over for als whenever they cooked sothing delicious.

“We’re back, and we bring good news!” Jiang Chuan announced cheerfully.

“What good news?” Xiao Li asked, glancing at Jia Guang who had returned with them.

“I’ve heard you can dig up wild vegetables here. If that’s true, 1’11 buy them from you and trade for grain,” Jia Guang stepped forward at the right mont.

The crowd looked at each other, skeptical of the stranger’s words. Could there really be soone willing to offer grain for vegetables?

Xiao Li, however, trusted the Jiang family unconditionally. On hearing Jia Guang’s words, he promptly volunteered, “Really? While you were away, 1 went up the mountain and dug up so wild vegetables. II planned to eat them myself, but I could show them to you?”

Jia Guang was a smart man. He could tell from Xiao Li’s words that this village indeed had sothing unique to offer.

“Alright, let see. If they’re of good quality, I’ll buy them.”

When Xiao Li heard this, he quickly ran ho and brought over a large basket of wild vegetables that he had dug up.

After a quick inspection, Jia Guang confird that these were the sa as what the Jiang family had brought him. He said, “Alright, I’ll take these. They weigh about four pounds, right? 1’11 trade you two pounds of cornal. Does that sound fair?”

“Absolutely! That’s a great deal!”

Exchanging four pounds of wild vegetables for two pounds of cornal was an irresistible offer.

Jiang Chuan’s business attracted the attention of the village chief. As Xiao Li finalized the deal, the village chief walked over from the crowd.

“Chief.” Jiang Chuan greeted.

“Grandpa Chief,” Jiang Xia and Jiang Gu chid in.

“Hey, Xiao Xia, Xiao Gu, you’re back.” The village chief looked at the two children kindly before turning his attention to Jia Guang, “And who might this be?”

Following the family’s respectful address towards the elderly man, Jia Guang also respectfully introduced himself to the Village Chief.

“Oh, 1 see,” the Village Chief nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing the Village Chief, a few villagers gathered their courage and asked Jia Guang, “Do you want the vegetables from our hos too?”

“Yes, as long as you have them, I’ll buy them.”

“My ho has so.”

“And mine too.”

“Can I trade so too?”

His words instantly sparked excitent among the villagers.

As more and more people started talking, the Village Chief first silenced the noisy voices, then walked up to Jia Guang with a smile, and said, “Since you are here with the Jiang family to buy wild vegetables, why don’t I find a couple of villagers who are familiar with the area? They can help you gather the vegetables and accompany you to pick up the grain. What do you think?”

Jia Guang looked around and saw quite a crowd gathered outside the Jiang’s house. Realizing it would take a while if he went by himself, he agreed, “Alright.”

“Xiao Li, Xiao Wu,” seeing that Jia Guang agreed, the village chief shouted towards the crowd.

Xiao Li and Xiao Wu imdiately stepped forward, ready to follow the village chief’s instructions to gather wild vegetables in the village.

During the few days when Jiang Chuan was not ho, the villagers had been cultivating the seeds left by him. Their spare ti was spent digging wild vegetables from the mountains.

These wild vegetables were rare during this drought. Every household that managed to find so didn’t consu them right away. They saved them at ho, hoping to trade them for so grain.

Little did they know, their wish was about to co true in such an unexpected way..
