When Wen Songtao saw the grains, oils, and so many daily necessities, he understood perfectly well that this girl had probably traveled to many places to gather everything she needed.
"Put it inside, old woman, you deal with it first, I'll take care of it with the kids."
Jiang Qiao placed the food that needed to be eaten in front of him, and put all the things that needed to be carried in the storage room.
"This is a radio I brought for you. Keep it safe. Take a look and see if it's missing anything. I'll go out in a couple of days and buy some more."
Wen Songtao gave a wry smile. "I don't think we're lacking anything. You have everything here, even several barrels of lamp oil for the lamps we use. What could we possibly need?"
Even though he had thought things through when he came, it took a long time, and all the supplies were used up. But this girl, she even managed to get so much toilet paper for them.
You know, even the old man doesn't want to sigh anymore. He just feels that the child has gone to so much trouble. No one could be more thoughtful than this girl.
The cloth was piled up in stacks; he had no idea how the child had been transported over.
How did you get here?
"A friend helped bring it over, and I rowed back myself. Grandpa, don't look anymore, I'll take you to eat seafood, it's fresh, just caught from the sea today—"
Wen Songtao was terrified when he heard this. He knew his granddaughter was brave, but he never imagined she would be so audacious.
"You silly girl, do you know how dangerous this is? You're not allowed to do this again."
Jiang Qiao smiled and put her arm around the old man's arm. "Grandpa, I was just worried that you would worry. Besides, I just prepared the seafood, so I have to let you eat it while it's still fresh. Otherwise, it will get damp and become inedible. So, I had no choice but to do this."
Do you think it's appropriate for me to bring these things over in broad daylight?
I had no other choice but to do this. Let's hurry up and eat the seafood; I'll tell you what happened later.
The elderly folks hadn't eaten such fresh seafood in a long time, and even Zhou Yaru couldn't help but tear up when she suddenly saw it.
This is something only their granddaughter could think of; if you tried it on someone else, even their children wouldn't have done it.
"Come on, stop staring and eat! Grandpa, look at these things, do you want to give them away?"
The old man shook his head. "It's already this late, they're probably all asleep. Everything's cooked, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
As for fish and the like, Jiang Qiao marinated them. Fortunately, she had the foresight not to bring out too much fresh seafood, but she still had a lot of work to do.
Even so, it was still a lot for the three of them. If the old lady hadn't been afraid of overeating, she definitely wouldn't have stopped talking.
"Girl, hurry up and wash up and go to bed. You've been traveling for so long."
Jiang Qiao nodded. She was really tired. After washing up, she lay down on the bed and slept soundly through the night until dawn. If the old man hadn't called her to return the boat, Jiang Qiao wouldn't have wanted to wake up.
Jiang Hu had been waiting on the shore for a long time, having set off with the people who were escorting the students. He had been worried about Jiang Qiao the night before, so he came over early this morning to check on her, fearing that something might have happened to her.
Fortunately, Jianghu didn't even notice that his mouth was wide open when he saw the little girl rowing behind his brother-in-law's boat.
"This girl—"
Actually, I was secretly worried about Jiang Qiao's lack of sleep. When Jiang Qiao arrived at their house last night, it was already very late. It would be too much for most people to go back after all that.
"Brother Jianghu—"
Jiang Qiao waved to Jianghu from afar, and Jianghu's brother-in-law watched with a smile from the boat.
"Brother, why did you come so early? Are you here to welcome us? That's too kind of you."
Jianghu snorted, "I see you every day, what's there to greet? In a bit, hurry up and take the little girl back."
"Okay, okay, it's no big deal."
The children had all left. Jianghu slipped a package to his brother-in-law. It wasn't brought by Jiang Qiao; he figured if she had it, she would have sent it to her father.
I secretly fished and sold the fish these past two days to buy two packs of snacks to give to my parents.
"These snacks are for Mom and Dad—"
Then, after whispering a few words in her brother-in-law's ear, Jiang Qiao saw the village chief's son nod happily.
She guessed that Jianghu probably wanted to go fishing with his brother-in-law. As for how much they could catch, that was no longer her concern. Since the net had already been given away, her intentions had been conveyed.
When Jiang Qiao returned by boat, she noticed that neither the old lady nor the old man were home, and she guessed that they had probably sent something out.
She wanted to rest for a while, but she didn't sleep well, and ended up sleeping until noon.
The old lady was already busy in the kitchen cooking for her. The meal for the three of them was simple: stewed fish, a pot of flatbread, and a cold dish. It was a simple yet plentiful meal for them.
After the elderly couple finished their meal, they watched their granddaughter put down her chopsticks before they began to tell her about what had happened that morning.
"We've sent everything over. There are only a few households, so everyone can share the food. We can't possibly eat more than that."
Jiang Qiao smiled and nodded, "If you want to eat, I'll bring you some next time. It's just crab, right? This time, we can try some freshwater crab."
Wen Songtao nodded, "That's good. Just make a few, we can't eat that many."
Jiang Qiao then told the old man and woman about what had happened when she went out.
"Since you understand this, then treat the patient properly, regardless of their identity, just consider it as forming a good connection."
"Girl, you should stay here for two days and then leave. It's not convenient to go in and out of here. You've prepared plenty of things for us, enough for our daily needs."
Jiang Qiao nodded. "Grandpa, I'm going hunting this afternoon. I don't know when I'll be back. I'll leave some meat here for you. Even if I leave, at least you won't lack this."
Wen Songtao shook his head. "You brought so much fresh meat and ham, enough for the two of us. Hunting is too conspicuous, so we don't need this. Let's leave tomorrow."
The old man was sending his granddaughter away, and the old woman was a little reluctant to let her go. It was just the two of them, and there was no one else at home, so they were feeling quite lonely.
However, she also knew that she had come here to avoid unnecessary trouble, as it was really inconvenient for the child to come and go.
Jiang Qiao and Wen Songtao chatted in the house for a while. The main reason was that the old man was worried about the two children and asked Jiang Qiao to go and check on his son's family, as well as his younger sister. He urged Jiang Qiao to move her things away as soon as possible.
"Thinking about it now, that place is a bit unsafe. Even burying it deep in the mountains would be better than leaving it there. After all, people come and go, which could easily cause trouble."
By the way, ask your great-aunt. If she's come to terms with it, then take her with you. If she hasn't, then let her stay there.
Tell me, why is this brat so stubborn—"
