“It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just that the time is not right. Let’s save a little more money first,” Jiang Chuan said to Jiang Xia and Zhou Lan.
Jiang Xia, also worried about the same issues as Jiang Chuan, understood her father’s dilemma and didn’t ask further.
Knowing she couldn’t help much with this matter, Zhou Lan didn’t ask more either, and went out to play with Jiang Gu, leaving father and daughter alone in the house.
“Let’s put the matter of eldest sister aside for now. It’s time to solve the problem of Xiao Gu’s schooling.” said Jiang Xia.
Jiang Chuan heard and nodded in respond.
The issue of trading wild vegetables for grain has been solve.
After Jia Guang took back the wild vegetables, Xiao Li and Xiao Wu went to the county town with Jia Guang, brought back the grains overnight, and distributed them to each household the next morning. That’s why everyone came to thank Jiang Chuan’s family in the morning.
With a market for the wild vegetables, the villagers no longer had to worry about starvation for the time being.
Through conversations with the villagers, Jiang Chuan learned that the seeds they had distributed to each household before going to the county town had been planted.
Perhaps it was the effect of the interspace water, these seeds, even planted in normal space, seemed to grow better than average ones.
In that case, he could discuss with Jia Guang again to see if he wanted these vegetables. If he did, they wouldn’t have to worry about income. After all, there were plenty of vegetables stored in Jiang Xia’s interspace.
In that case, it was indeed time for Jiang Gu to go to school.
Jiang Chuan called Jiang Gu back from outside.
“Xiao Gu, do you want to go to school?”
“Yes, of course I do!” Jiang Gu, who had been taught by Jiang Xia to recognize many words, was looking forward to going to the school that Jiang Xia mentioned the most.
“Then Dad will arrange it for you.”
Jiang Chuan thought that the money he had now was enough for Jiang Gu to go to school. He would ask the village head for information on where to go to school. In short, the problem of Xiao Gu going to school could not be delayed.
“What about sister? Is she going to school with me?” Jiang Gu was thrilled to learn that she could go to school, but she didn’t forget about Jiang Xia.
“Your sister… Does she want to go?”
“I’ve been to school for a few days before, and the words 1 know are enough for me. Do I still need to go to school now?” Jiang Xia wanted to go to school with Jiang Gu, but the thought of being an adult among a bunch of children made her uncomfortable. Plus, with her level of knowledge, she thought going to school was a waste of time.
Jiang Chuan understood what Jiang Xia meant, but after all, they were living in this era, and having a diploma would be useful in the future.
If Jiang Xia didn’t want to go, it would be fine. But now they were living in the countryside. If they didn’t go to school, they would have to work in the fields, either to earn work points or to plant vegetables.
“If you don’t go to school, Xiao Xia will have to go to the fields with mom and dad.”
“No way, this…”
Jiang Xia was about to say that it wasn’t necessary, but on second thought, it seemed like she had no choice.
If her family did not work in the fields and relied on digging wild vegetables to make a fortune, that would be too ridiculous.
However, Jiang Xia had never planted anything before she died, and now he wanted her to work in the fields? Wouldn’t that kill her?
Perhaps when their times improved and they had some spare money, she could set up a stall in the county town and sell some fruits? After all, there were plenty of fruits in her space, all tasting good. She wouldn’t worry about not being able to sell them.
“Dad, how about…”
“No, Xiao Xia must go to school!” Suddenly, the always quiet Zhou Lan spoke up.
“Mom, you’re going to scare me to death!” Zhou Lan’s voice was so loud that she nearly yelled in Jiang Xia’s ear.
“Xiao Xia must go to school. Your sister is so young. If you go to school with her, you can look after her. Otherwise, what if she is bullied at school?”
Zhou Lan’s righteous words almost made Jiang Xia believe her.
But thinking back to the days when her mother wanted to train Jiang Gu to be her successor, shouting daily for Jiang Gu to learn martial arts with her, wasn’t it more likely that Jiang Gu would be the bully rather than the bullied?
“It’s not that 1…”
“Yay, sister can go to school with me! I’m so happy!”
