YM778.TV Chapter 1558: You Can't Tell?
“The wheat in my space is still in the storage room, it’s not too late to take it out when we need to use it.”
Xue Yan had no objections at all. He nodded again. “Then when we come back from the village, we’ll hire two aunties to help us make the paste.”
“Sure. Sounds like a plan,” Jiang Yue had no objections either.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard footsteps rushing out from next door. Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou had changed into their best clothes and rushed in front of them.
Even though they were in their best clothes, the clothes they were still had patches in them. It was just that there were not as many patches as the clothes they usually wore.
However, after changing their clothes, Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou were in a much better mood than before.
Not long after, Tao Zhen also arrived. He was leading an ox, and the ox was pulling a wooden cart. Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou didn’t wait for Tao Zhen to come over. They had already rushed over, and it was their turn to lead the ox cart.
Although the people of Stone Village were malnourished and weak, the ox looked well-fed and very strong.
Even if Jiang Yue could get on the ox cart by herself, Xue Yan still helped Jiang Yue, constantly looking out for Jiang Yue and the baby growing inside of her.
When he heard that Zhang Shoushou was going, Tao Zhen couldn’t help but remind Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou to behave, afraid that they would cause trouble for Jiang Yue and Xue Yan.
Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou agreed happily.
Then, Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou also got on the ox cart and sat in the front, helping to drive the ox cart. From time to time, they would turn back and chat with Xue Yan and Jiang Yue, who were sitting at the back.
Although the ox cart was slow and bumpy, it was better than walking. Xue Yan was constantly on edge and wanted Zhang Dazhu to slow down the ox cart, but Jiang Yue stopped him before he spoke up.
Jiang Yue shook her head at him, indicating that she was fine. It also meant that he didn’t have to be so worried about her.
Even though Xue Yan was still unsure about it, he ultimately kept his mouth shut. Allowing them to steer the ox cart as they see fit.
“Dazhu, what day is it today?” Jiang Yue asked after the ox cart had walked for a while.
Jiang Yue had asked this question the last time. At that time, Zhang Dazhu felt that it was strange. But this time, Zhang Dazhu didn’t care if it was strange or not. He answered directly, “It’s the twenty-second of May.”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other. It had indeed been more than a month, or almost two months before they came back from Da Chen.
It was good that the people of Stone Village trusted them, this lowered the chances of them asking questions.
It would be more convenient for them to ask random questions like this without sounding suspicious.
After the ox cart left Stone Village, it went in the direction they planned to go, leading to Yaoshui Town.
After some time, they finally saw other villages. Unlike Stone Village, which was scattered, these villages were very densely packed.
They had heard Village Chief Tao Jinyan say that it would take about two hours to walk from Stone Village to Yaoshui Town. Now, it was faster to take an ox cart than to walk. Therefore, it had only been half an hour when they arrived at Yaoshui Town.
Yaoshui Town was quite big, probably because there were many villages around it. Although it was not as prosperous as the current Pingan Town of Da Ling, it was not inferior to how it was before.
If it weren’t for the fact that many people on the road were wearing patched clothes and were farmers, one wouldn’t be able to tell that the farmers here were living so hard just by looking at the lively shops on both sides.
