Chapter 74 -74 The Little Girl Picking Mushrooms

“Grandma, I understand.”

Now, Ge Liutao said anything, Chiang Xiao would of course nod in agreement.

Soon, Chiang Songhai woke up as well, and upon seeing Chiang Xiao up so early, so full of energy, he couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time.

“You girl, you didn’t stay up all night excited, did you?”

“How could that be, if I hadn’t slept, how could I be so energetic?” Chiang Xiao cheekily approached him, her face brimming with pride, “Grandpa, if you don’t believe me, look, I look quite rosy now!”

Chiang Songhai took a look, and indeed she did.

Chiang Xiao had been seriously ill before, her face pale and wearied by sickness, but now her face was rosy and charming, her large eyes were black and sparkling, her lips were moist and cherry red, and she didn’t show any signs of illness at all.

Chiang Songhai nodded, “You do look rosy indeed.”

“It must be the eggs!” Chiang Xiao pursed her lips and smiled, “So in the future, our family should really eat more eggs to replenish our bodies. In the future, we won’t sell our eggs, but keep them for ourselves.”

Before, the eggs from their home were always saved to be sold, with at most one being eaten by her every two or three days; Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao never treated themselves to them.

Chiang Xiao decided to reassign the ownership of the eggs first.

Her own health didn’t matter too much, she had the Space after all, as long as she found the right herbs, but her grandparents needed to nourish themselves.

“Okay, we’ll listen to our Little,” Grandpa immediately agreed.

Chiang Xiao’s eyes curved into a smile, “Then Grandpa, you go have breakfast, I will go prepare for the mountain outing!”

“I’ve prepared a little shovel for you, what else do you need to take?” Chiang Songhai called out to her.

“I’ll check in the west room!” Chiang Xiao said as she ran into the west room.

It was her first time going up the mountain; she certainly couldn’t go empty-handed.

Inside the west room, after rummaging around, she found a small carrying basket.

It was something her grandfather had prepared for her before, to carry on her back when she followed Grandma to the vegetable patch during summer and winter vacations. Of course, it wasn’t to help, but to carry her playthings – sometimes wildflowers, sometimes snacks.

They just didn’t feel comfortable about leaving her alone at the house.

However, she hadn’t used the small carrying basket much.

Now that she had brought it out, Chiang Xiao felt it was just right. Since she was going to go up the mountain, she had to bring something back in order not to waste this great opportunity.

Then she saw a woodcutting knife. After thinking it over, Chiang Xiao put it in the Space, just in case it was needed.

The mountain was said to be dangerous, wasn’t it? It was always best to be prepared.

She also put a small bundle of hemp rope into the basket.

“Little, Grandpa has taken everything necessary, just follow Grandpa and you’ll be fine,” Chiang Songhai came over and saw her small basket, which made him smile, “This one is good, there should be mushrooms on the mountain now; you can be a little mushroom picking girl.”

Chiang Xiao’s eyes lit up; she had been so focused on herbs that she hadn’t considered picking mushrooms. Wild mushrooms could also be sold at the market, and the family could enjoy them as well.

Herbs were supposed to be sneakily placed into the Space by her, but bringing back some mountain products in the little basket was perfect.

Chiang Xiao wrapped up four scallion pancakes in oil paper and put them in her basket, also carrying a water bottle, looking forward to the trip out with Chiang Songhai immensely.

Ho Laidi was sweeping the courtyard. Hearing the movement, she squinted and asked a question, but Chiang Songhai, who had undergone an educational lecture from Chiang Xiao the previous night, subconsciously kept his wits about him.

“Sister-in-law, I am just taking Little to learn about recognizing medicinal herbs,” he said, but he didn’t mention that he was taking her up Bai Gu Mountain.

Ho Laidi scoffed.

“Her? After learning, she plans to become a Barefoot Doctor? To have those men calling her every day to lift their shirts and pull down their pants to treat itchiness?”

Are those the words of an elder?
