Lu Yanzheng nodded, looked away, his ears slightly red. "There's nothing good in this shop, but you can't go wrong buying gold. It can help you whenever you encounter difficulties."
Jiang Qinyu was completely stunned. Was that what she meant?
"These are too valuable, I can't accept them." Jiang Qinyu returned the box, keeping only the small box containing the gourd pendant.
Lu Yanzheng, without saying a word, shoved it into her arms again, saying, "You are my wife, so my things are naturally yours. If you don't keep them, who will?"
After saying that, he carried the two children into the car and quickly got into the driver's seat.
In fact, Lu Yanzheng also wanted to take Jiang Qinyu up with him, but he knew without a doubt that if he did that, he probably wouldn't even be able to get into the room tonight.
His words stunned Jiang Qinyu for a while. She only came to her senses after seeing him get into the car and quickly climbed into the car as well.
As the carriage curtain fell, the temperature on Jiang Qinyu's face gradually rose.
What did Lu Yanzheng mean by that? Did he want to be her husband and wife?
"Auntie, why is your face so red?" Pan'er's innocent voice rang in my ears.
Jiang Qinyu quickly covered her mouth, "Don't talk nonsense, why am I blushing?"
"Pan'er, you've misjudged." Shu Fan said matter-of-factly, while constantly giving Pan'er meaningful glances.
The two were twins, and Pan'er quickly understood what Shu Fan meant. She nodded hurriedly, pulled Jiang Qinyu's hand away, and said, "Oh dear, I was mistaken just now. Aunt's face is clearly visible."
Jiang Qinyu: "..."
The two little ones' antics extinguished any budding interest she might have had.
Sigh, no matter what Lu Yanzheng means, they are husband and wife in name only. He just bought her some gold jewelry, not that he was going to hand over his entire fortune to her. Why is she overthinking this?
With that in mind, Jiang Qinyu felt at ease putting a bunch of boxes in the carriage, planning to put them away when they got back.
Of course, this time she learned her lesson and was determined not to put these gold jewelry pieces into the system.
"Qinqin, we've arrived," came Lu Yanzheng's voice.
Jiang Qinyu immediately said to the two children, "You two don't need to go down. Auntie will go check and come back right away."
Lu Yanzheng didn't get out of the car. He pointed to the alley ahead and said to Jiang Qinyu, who had gotten out, "It's at the very end. Do you need me to go with you?"
He didn't even get out of the car, his meaning couldn't be clearer. Jiang Qinyu said irritably, "No need, I just want to check how much water there is. I'll go by myself and be back soon."
After saying that, she turned and went into the alley.
She's not stupid. Although Lu Yanzheng didn't say anything, he was clearly already suspicious of her.
But for Jiang Qinyu, not placing plastic hoses in the other wells would only arouse more suspicion, so she had decided on the way here that no matter what Lu Yanzheng thought, she would place them.
Let him guess whether the natural disaster is about to end or she has interfered.
Jiang Qinyu was quick and returned in no time.
Seeing how confident and poised she was, Lu Yanzheng wondered if he was overthinking things, but he still took Jiang Qinyu to the next place.
In this way, they soon explored all the other wells in the city.
Along the way, Lu Yanzheng would stop whenever he saw something that interested the two children and buy them a lot of toys.
At this time, there were no food or snacks for sale in the border town. After all, people were struggling to get enough to eat, so how could they possibly sell food?
Only a few artisans still come out to sell small items, and they are just gambling, hoping that someone will buy their things so that they can earn a living for their families.
On the way back, Shufan and Pan'er played with some toys for a while, but soon lost interest.
"Auntie, they're so pitiful," Shufan suddenly said. "Let's hurry up and plant the sweet potatoes so that everyone here can have enough to eat!"
Jiang Qinyu patted his head and said, "This is an adult's matter, Shufan, don't worry about it."
"Luckily, Auntie grew sweet potatoes, otherwise we would have gone hungry too." Pan'er's little face was almost scrunched up, and she sighed like a little adult.
The feeling of hunger was unbearable, and she never wanted to go hungry again.
Jiang Qinyu chuckled and asked, "So, will you still be picky about food from now on?"
These past two days, Pan'er has been eating Uncle Zhao's cooking, but she complains that it doesn't taste as good as Jiang Qinyu's cooking, and her appetite has decreased by a third.
Pan'er quickly waved her hand, "No, no, Pan'er will definitely eat well from now on!"
Even if Grandpa Zhao's cooking isn't as delicious as her aunt's, she'll still finish every last bite of food!
Lu Yanzheng overheard their conversation from outside the carriage curtain, and couldn't help but smile.
He risked his life to guard the border city so that all the people could live such a life.
...
When the group returned to their residence, Uncle Chen was already waiting at the door.
Upon seeing them return, Uncle Chen eagerly took the two children away.
Lu Yanzheng said seemingly casually, "If all the wells in the city could increase their water volume, then farming in the other city would definitely not be a problem."
Jiang Qinyu tightened her grip on the box, then smiled nonchalantly, "Yes, maybe the drought is about to end!"
Whether it will succeed or not is anyone's guess. In any case, her abilities are limited, and this is all she can do. As for how the border town will develop in the future, that's not within her consideration.
Jiang Qinyu went back to her bedroom first, locked all her things in the closet, and then came out to eat.
That night, Lu Yanzheng did not return to the mansion, and Jiang Qinyu took the opportunity to check the situation on the second floor of the newly opened supermarket system.
The second floor mainly consists of clothing and footwear counters, including a shop specializing in military overcoats, hats, and boots. Since Jiang Qinyu transmigrated during the summer, these were considered out-of-season clothes, so the counter still had quite a bit of stock.
Unfortunately, these were all Jiang Qinyu's deductions, because she needed to continue completing tasks to unlock each counter on the second floor, and now the tasks were no longer prompted by voice, but were directly displayed in her mind.
For example, right now, Jiang Qinyu needs to collect different kinds of animal fur, plus one piece of each kind of cloth, and also complete one hundred transactions in the mall system in order to unlock a specialty store.
The only good thing for Jiang Qinyu is that now that the unlocking task is completed, she can choose which counter to open herself.
Thinking that neither she nor her two children had any suitable shoes, Jiang Qinyu decided to unlock the shoe store after completing the mission!
Five days later, Qin Shen brought all the old farmers to the general's mansion.
"General Qin, have the sweet potato seedlings that Madam prepared really sprouted?"
"This is the first time I've ever heard of breeding using only water."
"Me too. If we can see the sweet potato seedlings that Madam is cultivating today, we'll really have broadened our horizons..."
Jiang Qinyu and Lu Yanzheng were already waiting for them in the backyard.
Lu Yanzheng did not go to the military base today. He had already dealt with the urgent matters a few days ago, and he would not need to go for the next few days unless there was an emergency.
“They’re here,” Lu Yanzheng said.
