At this point, Chi Yu paused for a moment, then continued:
"Qiaoya, do you know how long it takes to walk back from Wangwanli?"
Due to the previous earthquake, some sections of the road from Wangwanli to here are damaged and require a detour.
In addition, since it's uphill, walking is much slower than going downhill.
It's unbearably hot during the day, and it's not safe to travel at night, so why bother with all that trouble?
A cenotaph can be erected anytime, so why does it have to be now?
Wang Qiaoya pursed her lips and said after a while, "Aunt, there's a saying in Wangwan Village."
It is said that the Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate someone who has died.
Therefore, if someone in the village dies outside, they try their best to bring them back before the Dragon Boat Festival.
"Since we can't bring my parents' bodies back, I want Jiabao and Tao'er to go back and build a cenotaph for them."
Chun Tao, who had remained silent the entire time, was now the backbone of the Wang family, perhaps because of her academic ability.
Even Wang Qiaoya, the eldest sister, was willing to listen to her.
Sure enough, after seeing the disapproval in Chi Yu's eyes, Wang Chuntao tugged at Wang Qiaoya's sleeve.
After the other person looked over, she said, "Big sister, my aunt is doing this for our own good, let's just let it go this time."
In a few days, we'll go to that crevice and burn more paper money for Nier and the others.
The situation is unusual now, so I don't think they'll blame us!
Yes, Wang Chuntao wanted to go back, mainly to build a cenotaph for her poor younger sister.
The more words she learned, the more principles she understood.
Therefore, she hated her grandmother's unreasonable behavior and her parents' cowardice and blind filial piety.
It's just a pity for my younger sister; she was so young, and this tragedy happened to her.
She only wanted her sister's soul to return to her hometown; that was all!
Wang Qiaoya had no idea what her younger sister was really thinking.
She looked at the other person, and seeing determination in her eyes, she then said to Chi Yu:
"Aunt, since you say you don't recommend we go back, then I'll listen to you."
Chi Yu didn't want to talk to her anymore, especially since she felt that Wang Qiaoya's difference before and after marriage was quite significant.
Upon hearing this, she nodded first, then got up and went back into the house.
When he came out again, he was carrying two baskets.
She handed one of the baskets to Wang Chuntao.
"Chuntao, there are thirty eggs in here, and a bag of brown sugar weighing one pound."
Your older sister is pregnant, and as her aunt, I can't leave without showing my support.
After you take this home, make two sweet egg soups for your older sister every day to help her recover.
Chuntao was indeed the most intelligent girl in the Wang family, even though she never came down the mountain after arriving at Chijia'ao.
But it also shows how precious food is now, let alone brown sugar and eggs.
This isn't something you can buy just with money!
She didn't know what the situation was like in the county town, but she could guess a thing or two from the things in her aunt's shop.
The county town has not yet recovered to its pre-disaster state last year, and many things cannot be bought with money.
Even my aunt couldn't get one!
After all, we haven't been able to get any more brown sugar since it sold out before the Lunar New Year.
And the eggs were never sold.
People themselves are starving, so where would they find the grain to feed the chickens?
They don't raise chickens in Chijia'ao, and the people down the mountain don't have enough food to raise them, so eggs are a rare commodity.
My aunt gave me thirty eggs and a pound of brown sugar.
This would be considered a grand gesture at any time, let alone now.
