Chapter 99 - 99: Doing Something Big
“Mother?”
Jiang Gu rubbed her eyes and woke up from her sleep.
“Xiao Gu is awake! Still sleepy? If you’re still sleepy, sleep for a while more.”
Hearing her mother’s voice, Jiang Gu arched her back and was about to sleep again. However, she realized that something was wrong the next second. She suddenly opened her eyes and called out for her mother.
“Yes, what’s wrong?” Zhou Lan asked.
Jiang Gu blinked and looked at the green patch of land around her with a puzzled expression.
“Mother, where are we?”
“The baby pig is awake!”
Before her mother could answer, Jiang Gu heard her sister’s teasing voice from behind.
“Stupid girl, how can you say that about your sister!”
“Dad, just say what you want to say. Can you not flick my head? What if I turn stupid?”
“It is just a flick, you will not turn stupid!”
“Is he really my biological father.”
As she listened to her sister and father bicker, Jiang Gu rubbed her little head against Zhou Lan’s back. She liked her current life very much. She and her sister didn’t have to worry about being sold every day, and her parents didn’t have to be forced to work by their grandparents every day.
She often wondered if her life was just a dream. When she woke up from the dream, she would still be in the house where her grandparents beat and scolded them every day.
She wondered why her parents and sister had become so powerful that she no longer had to starve and even had meat to eat.
However, Jiang Gu, who had little knowledge, would probably never understand the concept of transmigration, let alone think that her parents had already changed.
If she knew, she would have asked where her parents had gone.
“Mother, I can walk by myself. You don’t have to carry me anymore. You will get tired.” Jiang Gu spoke to Zhou Lan like a little adult.
A soft voice came from behind her, and Zhou Lan’s heart softened. She smiled and said, “Xiao Gu is very light. I am not tired. Xiao Gu is so light. I must feed you more after we leave the mountain.”
Even though Zhou Lan said so, Jiang Gu still couldn’t sit still. She twisted and turned on Zhou Lan’s back to stop her from carrying her. Zhou Lan had no choice but to put her down.
After being placed on the ground by Zhou Lan, Jiang Gu started looking around.
She had come to this forest twice with her mother and sister. It was where they picked wild vegetables.
Jiang Gu lowered her head shyly and said, “Mother, we left so early! Why didn’t you wake me up? I can walk on my own.”
Jiang Xia walked to Jiang Gu’s side and rubbed her head. “You’re a child. Why would you wake up so early Sleeping is good for your body.”
Jiang Chuan and Zhou Lan nodded in agreement. It was normal for children to sleep more!
Jiang Gu saw that she couldn’t persuade her family and could only change the topic, “Father, Mother, are we going up the mountain to stay for a long time? Why do you want to stay on the mountain for a long time?”
When she was at home, she had heard her parents say that they wanted to live on the mountain for a long time, but she didn’t quite understand what her parents wanted to do.
Jiang Chuan and Zhou Lan looked at each other. They didn’t know how to explain this to their younger daughter, but Jiang Xia helped them out.
Jiang Xia smiled mysteriously at Jiang Gu and said, “Father and Mother are preparing to do something big. If they succeed, they can help the village survive the famine! So don’t be surprised by what you see after entering the mountain. We’ll leave the mountain after we find the things. It won’t take too long, at most half a month or a month.”
Jiang Gu nodded. Her sister had always been mysterious. She just had to listen to her sister.
Because they were not in a hurry to climb the mountain this time, they walked slowly for two more hours and their stomach started growling.
After Xiao Wu and Xiao Li left yesterday, Zhou Lan made a lot of pancakes and cornbread that were easy to store.
After all, their family’s grain reserves were basically coarse grain, so they couldn’t make refined food. As for the things in Jiang Chuan’s car and Jiang Xia’s space, they could only take them out when they entered the deep mountains and were sure that they wouldn’t be discovered. At the same time, this would give Jiang Gu time to slowly accept it.
Jiang Gu took out some dry rations from her bag, as well as wild vegetables and sauce. They of them found a relatively flat rock and sat on it to eat..
