Jiang Yue knew from Gu Ye's expression that he probably had never paid attention to this aspect.
Men seem to be naturally insensitive to gossip, especially people like Gu Ye.
Gu Ye was still waiting for Jiang Yue to continue speaking, but Jiang Yue simply skipped the topic.
"Gu Ye, is there a big market today? Is it far from Huamu Commune?"
"Yes, there is a big market," Gu Ye thought for a moment and said with certainty, "It's not far away!"
Jiang Yue had asked Mrs. Zhao about the time of the big market before. The town holds the market on the 3rd and 5th of each month, while several nearby villages hold the market on the 27th of each month. Today was the 22nd day of the lunar calendar.
However, Jiang Yue only knew that there was a market in the village today, but he didn't know the exact location. After all, he had never cared about these things before and had never bought vegetables twice.
"Then let's go back and buy some vegetables to take home." Jiang Yue had actually dealt with the villagers nearby. The dozens of eggs she cooked in the pot were bought from the villagers.
"good!"
Ten minutes later, Jiang Yue took off her straw hat and fanned herself. She looked ahead and could not even see the shadow of the Flower and Tree Commune, so she asked Gu Ye: "Didn't they say it would take ten minutes to walk there? Why haven't we arrived yet? Gu Ye, did you go the wrong direction?"
Gu Ye was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said faintly: "I didn't go wrong!"
Jiang Yue put his hands over his eyes to shield his sunshade and looked ahead again, "Why haven't we reached the commune yet?" After walking for so long, he should be able to see the place at least.
Gu Ye was silent for a while longer before he spoke: "It's true that it took me less than ten minutes to walk, but I didn't consider you and Ning Ning--"
"Huh?" Jiang Yue was stunned, and went over Gu Ye's words in her mind. Then the corner of her mouth twitched, "You directly said that my legs are short!"
Ningning was carried by Gu Ye within a few minutes of walking. Only Jiang Yue was walking. Jiang Yue didn't know whether she should thank Gu Ye or not. She even blamed him for saving her face.
Gu Ye glanced at Jiang Yue and said, "Your legs are not short, you just walk too slowly!"
Jiang Yue: “…”
Isn't this just a disguised way of saying that she can't walk fast because her legs are short?
"Gu Ye, tell me the truth, how long will it take?" Jiang Yue lost her temper.
"According to your speed, it should take another... quarter of an hour!"
Jiang Yue: “…”
This time she did not miss the two-second pause before Gu Ye said a quarter of an hour, and the word "吧" he said at the end.
What does this mean? This means that the quarter of an hour that Gu Ye said is still a conservative estimate!
Jiang Yue suddenly felt both of her legs become heavy.
But now that we have come this far, we can only keep moving forward.
After walking and stopping along the way, 25 minutes later, Huamu Commune finally appeared in front of us.
"Do you want to take a break?" Seeing Jiang Yue's flushed face and sweat all over her forehead, Gu Ye shook his head.
"No more rest, hurry up and buy it, we still have to go to the market!" Jiang Yue ignored Gu Ye's disgusted expression, holding her breath in her heart, wasn't it just that she walked a little slowly? Was it necessary to look at her like that? And shook her head, why did she shake her head!
"Mom, have some water!" Ningning handed over the kettle considerately.
"Thank you, Ningning baby!" This was Jiang Yue's water bottle. She had been carrying it on her back at first, but halfway through the journey she could no longer walk and the water bottle was too heavy to carry on her back, so Gu Ye took it from her.
Jiang Yue took a sip of water and glanced at Gu Ye out of the corner of her eye, feeling a little jealous.
She walked as fast as a dog, but Gu Ye, holding Ningning, walked as if he was taking a walk. His face was not red, he was not out of breath, and there was not even a drop of sweat on his head. His physical strength was too good!
Gu Ye should have contacted the Flower and Tree Commune in advance. As soon as the two of them entered, a middle-aged man in a white "Dacron" shirt and gray pants came to greet them. He introduced himself as Manager Lin of the flower nursery.
It was Jiang Yue’s first time to visit the Flower and Tree Commune. She was quite curious about the place and was surprised to find that there were greenhouses here.
"Captain Gu, the roses you want to see are over here!" Manager Lin led Gu Ye and Jiang Yue to the left front, while enthusiastically introducing the nurseries on both sides of the road to them, "Mulberry trees are planted here, and orange trees are in front."
"Mulberry tree? Are there mulberries for sale?" Jiang Yue remembered that May should be the season when mulberries ripen.
"Haha, that's not the case. This batch of saplings were planted this year, and it's not time for them to bear fruit yet!" Manager Lin said with a smile.
"Is that so?" Jiang Yue also laughed, "I thought there were mulberries to eat!"
But Jiang Yue was not disappointed. She had gotten used to the life of not having everything she wanted in this era. Now that she could have enough food to eat and meat for every meal, she was already very satisfied.
Arriving at the flower garden, Jiang Yue followed Manager Lin in to pick flowers. Gu Ye was holding Ning Ning and was one step behind. Jiang Yue heard Ning Ning asking Gu Ye: "Dad, what are mulberries? Can they be eaten?"
The little girl's eyes light up when she hears about food.
Jiang Yue didn't hear clearly what Gu Ye described to Ning Ning. She picked two pots of roses and specifically asked if they were climbing ones. She also chose large seedlings that already had many flower buds. Manager Lin said that if they were planted now, they would bloom in a week or two at most.
In this way, she wouldn't be afraid of not seeing the flowers bloom until the day she left the family compound.
Jiang Yue picked a few more pots of flowers. Gu Ye paid the money and made an appointment with Manager Lin for the delivery of the flowers. Then the family of three headed for the market.
There are six pots of flowers in total, and the total cost is less than two dollars.
Jiang Yue remembered that Gu Ye had said before that it was only a few minutes' walk from Huamu Commune to the market. She automatically compared her leg length with that of Gu Ye and concluded that it would take her about fifteen minutes to walk there.
She couldn't rest in the middle of the process!
"Your physical fitness is too bad! It's just that you lack exercise!" Gu Ye endured it all the way, but still couldn't help criticizing Jiang Yue, "Starting tomorrow, you will go to the playground with me to run ten laps every morning!"
