The old lady was unwilling to say more, and Jiang Qiao was too embarrassed to press her for details. She guessed that there might be some conflict at home.

Unable to figure it out, she simply packed up the house and her belongings. She planned to go back that night, and before leaving, she had to make proper arrangements there. Since this was Xiao Jiang Qiao's relative, and she had taken over the body of someone else's daughter, she had to take responsibility for these relatives on behalf of Xiao Jiang Qiao.

With a sigh, I quickly went to cook, steamed two pots of buns, ate my fill, and then took a nap. When I woke up, it was already dark.

Jiang Qiao put everything into her spatial storage, locked the door, and went out. Once she reached a secluded spot, she released the car and drove towards the countryside. This was much more comfortable than measuring the distance with her own two feet.

When she arrived, she put the car away beforehand and walked to their old family house.

She took everything out of her spatial storage one by one. She brought a lot this time because she was going to visit her parents. She didn't know how long she would stay there, so she prepared a lot this time.

Qiao Jie was about to go to sleep when there was an unexpected knock on the door.

"Who is this? It's the middle of the night, don't let people sleep! Wait a minute—"

Jiang Qiao was secretly delighted; the old man would never have expected her to come over so late at night.

To be honest, when Qiao Jie saw that big smiling face at the door, he was really startled and thought he was seeing things.

"Jiang Qiao? No, why did you come at this time? It's so dangerous, so late at night. Aren't you afraid something might happen?"

Jiang Qiao smiled and looked at the old man. "Grandpa Qiao, someone brought me here. It's Ning Hao's friend. He also brought me some things. Please help me, I can't carry them all."

Seeing the things behind his granddaughter, Qiao Jie wanted to smile wryly, "You little rascal, you've brought the whole house here, how come you have so much stuff?"

As Jiang Qiao carried the things into the courtyard, she said, "Prepare more. When we leave, at least my grandpa and the others will have something to eat. Who knows how long this canteen will last? I think they'll end up eating us out of house and home."

Qiao Jie really didn't dare to say these words, nor did he dare to think about them. He couldn't explain or understand the current situation. Only this girl was bold enough to say anything.

"Be careful, don't let anyone hear you."

After moving everything into the house, Jiang Qiao and the old man were exhausted. There was so much grain, oil, meat, and cooked food, he didn't even have time to check it all. He wanted to rest first.

Jiang Qiao, having recovered, quickly got up. "Grandpa Qiao, you rest first, I'll go find my grandpa."

"Please change your clothes first. I've already made you some new ones; this one is yours."

After saying that, she left carrying several packages. She was taking Gu Hanting and the others' clothes and food with her, as she didn't have the strength to carry them herself and it wasn't convenient for her to use her spatial ability.

Gu Hanting and the others were still awake. He was watching his two grandsons practice their writing. He hadn't expected his granddaughter, who had been gone for several days, to return at this time.

Seeing the child carrying so many things in, the old man quickly got off the kang (a heated brick bed) to help take them from him.

"What are you doing? Moving house? When did you get back? I didn't see you."

Jiang Qiao was really tired. She poured herself a bowl of water and said, "Grandpa, these are your clothes and shoes for all four seasons. Please wear them first. I just finished making them. I've been busy with this for the past few days."

Also, I brought some rice, flour, food, and supplements. What should I do with them? Are they safe to leave with you?

Gu Hanting was a little confused. "What? There's food too?"

Jiang Qiao nodded. "Grandpa, you should go and see how those things are arranged. Grandpa Qiao and I can't stay here forever. I still have to go find my parents. These things are for you to prepare. Big brother, stop writing and hurry up."

Those two brothers were no longer in the mood to write. As soon as they heard there was food, they were overjoyed. Ever since their sister came, they had been eating better than during the New Year.

"grandfather--"

Even though they wanted to, the two children still looked up at the old man.

Gu Hanting was still speechless with shock. There was no doubt that Jiang Qiao was their child.

It's already quite remarkable that so many clothes could be prepared in such a short time. He wasn't so naive as to think that Qiao Jie's family could have accumulated so many cloth coupons. He always felt that the girl must have used other means.

However, when Gu Hanting saw what Jiang Qiao brought, he was speechless.

They were all high-quality goods, things that you might not be able to buy even if you had money or tickets, because these things are in short supply on the market, but this girl just happened to bring them here.

They've only known each other for a few days, and this child is already so devoted to them. It would be a lie for the old man not to feel gratified. A child who cares about the family will never have a bad heart, no matter where he is raised.

Qiao Jie glanced at the items and was speechless. It was no simple matter that he had picked up a granddaughter on the road; she was practically a little god of wealth.

"Don't just stand there, hurry up and think of a way to hide the things, Grandpa Qiao. Our family's portion has already been left at home. Keep some of these for us to eat temporarily, and we'll see what Grandpa does with the rest."

Qiao Jie wasn't just after these things; he knew exactly what he was doing. If there were some here, he'd definitely have some stored back home. This girl was very sensible.

Gu Hanting hesitated for a moment, "It's safer to leave the things here with you. I can just take some over temporarily. There's a hidden compartment in the kitchen where things are safer."

They were all family, so the old man didn't hide anything, and besides, that place really wasn't that useful.

At a spot where a wedge was driven into the wall, it was rotated twice, causing a section of the wall to move, and then a dark hole appeared.

Gu Hanting raised an eyebrow at everyone and said, "Come in and have a look. It's not a big place. It was originally built to provide temporary shelter in case of war. Now it's a good place to hide things."

The mezzanine space wasn't too big or too small, enough to accommodate about ten people, but it was completely empty.

Jiang Qiao didn't ask anything else and quickly told the people to move things inside.

Seeing that his granddaughter had even prepared a small pot and a clay pot for the three of them, Gu Hanting couldn't help but laugh. How could this girl be so thoughtful, able to think of such a thing?

Not to mention the pot, Jiang Qiao even prepared a lot of seasonings, leaving some outside, and the rest can be picked up whenever needed.

"Grandpa Qiao, just give the key to my grandpa before you leave, so it will be convenient for them to come and pick up the things in the middle of the night."

Gu Hanting and the others took some of the food that couldn't be stored, leaving some for Qiao Jie and Jiang Qiao. The main reason was that the two of them couldn't stay here any longer; Qiao Jie should go back, and Jiang Qiao should also set off.
