Chapter 51 Late Return (Please collect and recommend tickets~)

Early the next morning, the Jiang family got busy.

Jiang old man and Jiang Bai each carried a load of firewood, and brought a few bamboo baskets woven by Jiang Song.

Jiang Yang picked up tangerine-stuffed pueraria root powder, some dried wild mushrooms, and Liu Su's embroidery.

The three of them went down the mountain together with the villagers with the hope of a family.

Jiang Song took Jiang Miao and the villagers together to dig kudzu roots and pick wild mountain fungi.

Jiang Yun and the three bouncing towards Mr. Su's house.

"Mr. Su~" A long distance away, the three began to wave their hands vigorously, "Good morning~~"

……

At the gate of the security hall, Jiang Yang was also waving vigorously—with the familiar drug boy.

Jiang Yang and a group of villagers were standing on the side of the street. Seeing Yaotong turn his head to look at him, he quickly pointed to the direction of the back door, signaling him to meet at the back door.

Unexpectedly, Yaotong glanced at him and stopped looking at him.

Jiang Yang was taken aback, feeling a little ominous in his heart.

The villagers walking by the side noticed something was wrong and quickly asked: "What's wrong? Didn't he see it?"

Jiang Yang shook his head, "I should have seen it, let's wait at the back door first."

But the truth is—they waited at the back door for a long time but no one came, and no one answered when they knocked on the door.

A villager worried: "Why has no one come for so long, is it because we have been delayed for too long?"

Because every family was busy weeding the winter wheat after the year, and it rained for several days, they were a few days later than the agreed date.

Jiang Yang frowned: "Shopkeeper Cao doesn't look like someone who would turn his back on him just because he was a few days late." What's more, it was because of the weather.

"Then... Could it be that he found a cheaper one and thinks ours is too expensive?"

"Even if you think it's expensive, you still have to say it? The price is negotiable..."

Everyone started guessing in a hurry, and people's hearts fluttered in the quiet alley for a while.

Jiang Yang could only appease everyone first: "You wait here, I will go up and ask."

"Okay, okay, you go and ask carefully, we are guarding things here."

A slightly older villager said: "Si Yang, talk to people well, and let us know if you accept it or not. If you really don't accept it, let's go to another house to ask, and don't conflict with others. what."

"Uncle, don't worry, I know it well."

Outside the gate of the security hall, many people had already gathered at this moment.

Those who came to see the clinic lined up outside the door, and those who had finished watching kept pouring out.

Jiang Yang was startled: I haven't been here for more than a month, is this security hall so popular?Although there were many people in Baoan Hall before, it was not like it is now.

But he didn't have time to think too much, so many villagers and kudzu powder were waiting in the alley, so after Jiang Yang locked the target, he plunged into the crowd and squeezed forward.

The people waiting at the side rushed forward when they saw him going straight, shouting again and again: "Hey, hey, what are you doing, line up, line up!"

Jiang Yang turned a deaf ear, crossed the crowd and approached Yaotong with a smile and apologized: "Brother Qiushi, long time no see, because of the New Year, this trip has been delayed for some time, is the shopkeeper in a hurry? We brought a lot of them this time." ..."

"Who are you?" The drug boy interrupted him, and glanced at him arrogantly, "If you want to see a doctor, you line up, if you don't see a doctor, you leave quickly, don't you see so many people like me? Don't make trouble here."

"Oh, yes, you see so many people every day, it's normal if you don't remember me. I'm to blame, I didn't make it clear to you first, I'm Jiang Siyang, who sells kudzu root powder stuffed with oranges in Lingkou Village, and was introduced by Mr. Su , you and shopkeeper Cao made the settlement together before, do you remember?"

Yaotong listened casually, but at the same time he did not forget to organize the order of the queue, "Hey, that fat man is you, don't push forward, if you do this again, you will go to the back of the queue."

The fat man clutched his stomach, sweating from the pain on his forehead, "Oh, I'm in so much pain, let me go in and see a doctor first, please..."

"It's useless to beg me. This is the rule set by the new shopkeeper. Look at everyone who comes to see the doctor. Which one is not in a hurry? You have to go in first. Does the doctor show you first or others? !"

After Yaotong finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Jiang Yang, and squinted at him for a while, "Oh~ it's you...you heard it too, we have changed to a new shopkeeper, and we won't accept kudzu root stuffed with oranges in the future."

Hearing this, Jiang Yang became a little anxious, "No, brother Qiushi, we made an appointment years ago...we picked them all the way from the mountain, if you can't just say no, don't!"

"Appointment? Who made an appointment with you, who do you go to! Go, go, go, don't ask me to report to the official again!"

……

In the evening, the sun withdrew its dazzling light and looked like an egg yolk.

Jiang Yun sat on the threshold of the main room, looking at the "egg yolk" hanging in the sky, and swallowed so greedily.

She hasn't eaten boiled eggs for several days...

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun stretched his neck and looked out of the courtyard.

Sitting in this position, you can just see the creek in the middle of the valley and the stone bridge above it through the courtyard gate, which is the only way to go home from the entrance of the village.

Jiang Yun withdrew his gaze in disappointment, his face full of melancholy, "Why hasn't Fourth Uncle come back... If he doesn't come back, he won't be able to eat meat buns tonight."

When Jiang Yueshan, who was standing facing the wall, heard this, he couldn't help poking his head and looking out of the courtyard, "Fourth Uncle must have gotten lost, right?"

Zhou Qiao, who was passing by, stopped, stretched out her hand and patted him on the head, and said angrily: "It's not good to memorize. Your fourth uncle followed your grandfather into the mountains to collect firewood when he was eight years old, and he followed you down the mountain when he was ten years old. Whoever loses him?" None will be lost."

After being scolded, Jiang Yueshan shrugged and continued to memorize the book while facing the wall, and muttered: "I am clearly memorizing it well..."

Jiang Yun also nodded again and again: "Second Aunt, he has been carrying it just now, and Mr. Su is still praising him for his improvement recently."

Zhou Qiao then patted his head with a smile on her face, "You're so good."

Jiang Yueshui on the side also looked up at her.

Zhou Qiao naturally praised her well-behaved and quiet elder son, she stretched out her hand and patted her head to compliment her, but in the blink of an eye, she saw Jiang Yun and Jiang Yue who were looking forward to him.

Zhou Qiao: ...

In the past, Old Man Jiang and the others went down the mountain to sell firewood, and it was not uncommon for them to come home late if the sale did not go well.

So at this moment, apart from the few children who are looking forward to the meat buns, Mrs. Zhou and the others are not worried at all.

But until the dinner was ready, Jiang Yang and the others were still missing, and Mrs. Zhou couldn't help becoming anxious, standing on the porch and looking out.

The sun was almost setting now, and they had never been back so late before.

Mrs. Zhou: "Da Lang, go to the village and ask if the others are back."

……

Knowing that none of the companions returned, Mrs. Zhou became even more worried.

So many people are delayed, it must not be such a trivial matter as being late to sell firewood...

Was it a conflict with someone in the town?Or was he sent to the government for selling medicine?Or was there an accident on the way up the mountain?
For a while, many pictures flashed in Mrs. Zhou's mind, and she couldn't help but turn pale.

"Mother, don't worry, I will go with Daniel and the others to welcome you."

"Alright." Mrs. Zhou nodded, it was better than doing nothing.

It's just that after Jiang Song left, there were only a few old and weak women and children left in the house. As the sky gradually darkened, the Jiang family was silent.

Old Madam Zhou sat in the main room without saying a word, seeing that her back was bent a lot, Zhou Qiao was holding Jiang Yue in the porch to feed, her eyes were slightly red.

 See you tomorrow~
