Uncle Jiang watched with delight as his son, Jiang Hu, ran toward him. He thought to himself with joy, "Da Hu has finally grown up! He's so enthusiastic about helping me carry his basket."
Jiang Hu grinned, greeted him, and walked towards the oxcart without stopping.
Uncle Jiang's hand, which was handing over the basket, froze, and he awkwardly withdrew his hand.
That kid!
At this time, only Jiang Wanwan and her daughter and a pile of things remained on the oxcart; the other women had already gotten off and gone home.
Jiang Hehu's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets at the sight of the load piled high on the oxcart.
"Third Uncle, Wanwan, this is...our family's?" Jiang He asked incredulously, pointing at the items on the oxcart.
"Yes, my father and I bought it," Jiang Wanwan said with a smile.
"My goodness, buying so many things must cost a lot of money."
"Wow, is that... is that rice?" Jiang Hu, with his sharp eyes, pointed to the several cloth bags on the oxcart and asked.
"Yes, I also bought you some malt candy. I'll share it with you later."
"Maltose!" the boys exclaimed in shock, their eyes suddenly lighting up with delight.
Even the usually awkward Jiang Xun couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.
My sister actually bought them candy!
God knows, no one has ever bought them candy before.
Growing up, they still didn't know what sugar tasted like; they had only heard their friends in the village talk about it.
My sister is so good to them. They should earn money for her in the future, to buy her pretty clothes and jewelry!
The boys grinned, their teeth practically disappearing from their eyes.
Jiang Wanwan looked at Ah Zhong and said, "Uncle Ah Zhong, we have a lot of things at home. Could you please take us to our doorstep?"
“Okay, no problem,” Ah Zhong said.
Jiang Wanwan called to Jiang Xun and the others, "What are you all standing there for? Come on up and sit down."
Jiang Hehu and the others' eyes lit up even more. Not only would they get candy, but they could also ride in an oxcart to their doorstep!
That's enough for them to brag about for a while!
The group hurriedly climbed onto the oxcart.
After Ah Zhong saw that Jiang He and the others were seated, he cracked the ox whip and pulled hard on the reins, and the old ox slowly walked towards Jiang Wanwan's house.
Uncle Jiang stood there, and Er Kang waved, "Hey, I haven't gotten on the oxcart yet. Wait for me!"
Jiang Hu laughed heartily, "Dad, you can walk home by yourself."
Soon, the oxcart stopped in front of Old Jiang's house.
The laughter and conversation of Jiang Xun and his group attracted the attention of the Jiang family. Thinking that something serious had happened, they all stopped what they were doing and rushed to the gate of the courtyard.
"What's all this commotion about?" Grandma Jiang asked, opening the door as she did so.
The old woman had sharp eyes and immediately spotted the large pile of things on the oxcart. She paused for a moment, then quickly rushed to the oxcart.
After a moment of surprise, Old Man Jiang and the others jogged over to the oxcart.
Grandma Jiang's eyes scanned everything like a scanner. "My goodness, these things, you bought them?"
Her hand, which was pointing at the things, was trembling slightly.
Since our family gradually fell into poverty, we've never bought so many things so extravagantly!
Old Man Jiang and the others all turned their gazes to Jiang Wanwan and her father.
“Yes, Fifth Aunt, these all belong to your family,” Ah Zhong replied.
"What! Spendthrift! Spendthrift!" Old Mrs. Jiang stared, her face flushed, repeating several times. "Where's the second son? Did he spend all the money from selling eggs on these things?"
