Jiang Yue stared at his chubby little face and kissed him hard, "How about I take you to the grassland to play?"
"Where is the grassland? Is it all grass?"
"Not only that, there are large grasslands, and there are many cattle, sheep, and rabbits."
Sui Sui got excited when he heard it, "Then I want to go too!"
Jiang Yue picked him up and walked into the house, "Then you have to be obedient. If you tease cats and dogs all day long, people will dislike you."
Sui Sui retorted unconvincedly, "No! They all like me very much..."
Their family originally had five sheep, three females and two males. During the past three years, they gave birth to and raised fifteen more sheep.
The cows originally came in pairs, but last year the Wang family bought six or seven of them from somewhere, and also bought two more cows for them. They were also bred last year, and they give birth to three calves this year.
Jiang Yue nourished Sui Sui with both goat's milk and cow's milk, so he naturally grew stronger than the average child. But as a small person, he definitely couldn't eat much.
Jiang Yue took charge and asked Aunt Yuan to cook a big pot every day, and everyone in the village, regardless of gender or age, would drink a bowl.
At first, they didn't understand why they were trying to snatch milk from the lambs and calves. It was embarrassing. They weren't animals, and it wasn't like they'd been starving for milk for the past two years. But when they saw the owner drinking it himself, they realized it was a good thing.
Drinking only one bowl of milk a day may not produce any visible effects in the short term, but after two or three years, not only did the heights of Xiaomu, Zhaocai and Ping'an grow significantly, but the adults who often did hard labor also felt that they slept much more comfortably at night.
The forty-year-old man even said that when it rained, his legs and feet didn't hurt as much as before. This cow and goat milk is a great medicine for strengthening tendons and bones, and it also nourishes the stomach. He doesn't even need to see a doctor!
Jiang Yue: We should ask you to do advertising and promotion...
Although their farm was already doing quite well, and everything was progressing smoothly, Jiang Yue still wanted to take it a step further. She also wanted to know what was happening outside, and it would be nice to take her child out to see the world.
Since this year, Jiang’s fourth and fifth stores have opened.
The days gradually became stable. Jiang San was lively and courageous. He led people to travel alone to several nearby cities to buy and sell goods. He had grown into the leader of the Jiang family's small caravan.
Not to mention that Jiang Yue's decision to move some of the goods wouldn't have any impact on the shop, even if it did, it was the owner's decision. The head shopkeeper, Fan Bai, obeyed without hesitation, and Jiang San, a "freighter," had no objections.
Jiang Yue took away two carts of cloth and two bags of dried fish from the shop, and asked Jiang San to bring back a lot of shoe patterns, pots and pans, jars and cans when he went to Qingshui City to transport goods. These were basically daily necessities that people in the border town of the grassland were in short supply.
The most important and expensive salt was exchanged for a cart of watermelons from the Wang family.
The fruits and vegetables grown on the Jiang family farm had become a Yindu specialty. Almost every time they hosted a banquet or saw off guests, they would bring some fresh fruit from the shop. Last year, the large patch of melons they had planted in the fields had become a hot commodity, and naturally, the Wang family had also taken a fancy to them.
The Wang family had been in business for many years, so their foundation was naturally much stronger than the Jiang family, which had no roots. Over the past three years, they had not only revived their business in Yindu but also established a strong foundation in Qingshui City.
However, their business was different from that of the Jiang family shop. Apart from rare fruits, the Jiang family mostly did business with ordinary people.
The Wang family, on the other hand, dealt in silk, rouge, powder, and jewelry, and their clients were mostly wealthy families. Therefore, the two families were not in a competitive relationship, and because of their past connections, they had close ties and maintained a good relationship.
Jiang Yue and her family of three would not be back for three or four months. The shop in the city was left to Fan Bai, while Fan Mo and Fan Jin looked after the farm. Everything was on track, and nothing would go wrong whether she was there or not.
"Mom, can't we really take Dahua, Xiaohua and Heihei with us?" In the early morning of the day of departure, Suisui looked melancholy and hugged the dogs reluctantly.
These four had grown up, their long, thin bodies sitting upright, almost as tall as Sui Sui. All four of them stared at Jiang Yue eagerly.
Oh no, there's another Fan Jin staring at her.
Unfortunately, Jiang Yue was so cold-blooded and heartless. She shook her head decisively, "Several dogs have to guard our home, and my brothers and sisters have to stay home to watch over us. What if so many fruits are stolen?"
Sui Sui pursed her lips, lowered her head, hugged the dog's neck, and tears streamed down her face. "I will miss you guys. You must wait for me to come back and play with you!"
Jiang Yue was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. What kind of scene was this of life and death?
Jiang Nian looked at him quietly. Those dogs didn't look like they wanted to play with him.
He walked forward, grabbed his son by the scruff of the neck, and placed him on the shaft of the cart. "If you delay any longer, we won't be able to leave the house today."
Then he helped Jiang Yue onto the mule cart.
Aunt Yuan looked at the fair and tender little boy, wondering why the host family wanted to take such a young child on such a long journey. She felt worried and distressed. The weather was hot, and she was worried that they wouldn't have enough to eat on the road, so Aunt Yuan also made a lot of appetizing pickled vegetables and put them in a jar to make it easier to take.
After a few simple words, Jiang Nian drove away in the mule cart.
Sui Sui would still sit on the shaft of the cart, waving goodbye to his friends one by one, leaning his head out and shouting, "You must wait for me to come back!"
Jiang Yue put the straw hat on him and said, "You really have a genetic mutation. You don't look like your father or me. Where do you get so much to talk about every day?"
She pinched the little mouth with her hands, like a little duck, "Doesn't your mouth feel thirsty or tired?"
