Jiang Gu sat on the other side of Jiang Xia, her figure shielded by her, and being especially well-behaved, she hadn’t spoken, so Tian Zao hadn’t noticed her until now.

Now that Jiang Xia turned slightly, Jiang Gu was revealed.

Seeing such a cute little girl, Tian Zao couldn’t resist squeezing her cheek. If Jiang Xia was too clever to inquire directly, perhaps this little girl wouldn’t be as reserved in speaking?

Thus, Tian Zao began to cozy up to Jiang Gu, asking, “Is the little missy hungry?”

Jiang Gu nodded her head.

Tian Zao continued, “If you’re hungry, why not eat a piece of meat to fill your stomach?”

Longing showed in Jiang Gu’s eyes as she gazed at the braised pork ribs, but she still firmly shook her head and said, “I can’t, dad and mom haven’t come back yet, 1 want to wait for them so we can eat together!”

Tian Zao didn’t expect that the two daughters taught by Jiang Chuan would be so obedient and sensible, truly endearing.

Then she remembered that at noon, the public canteen had boiled eggs. Worried that she and Shen Mo would be too tired and hungry after the afternoon’s journey, she took two eggs and put them in her pocket, but with the busy afternoon, she had forgotten to eat them. Now, she could just take them out and give them to Jiang Gu.

After receiving them, Jiang Gu politely said thank you, and then skillfully peeled an egg, even showing off to Jiang Xia, “Second sister, look, the egg I peeled is intact, not even a bit of the egg white is broken!”

Jiang Xia looked at her younger sister with indulgence, smiling and ruffling her hair, “Xiao Gu is so great, still the best at peeling eggs!”

Tian Zao astutely caught a piece of information: Jiang Gu must often eat eggs to speak of it in such a manner, and the two sisters might even compete to see whose egg peeling was the most flawless.

This was a common game among rural children, but now with food being scarce and almost no one raising chickens, eggs naturally became a rare supply, and the game had vanished among the children.

Tian Zao looked at Jiang Gu and asked, “Does your family often eat eggs?”

Jiang Gu nodded, “Yes, every morning mom boils an egg for each of us, and we also have a box of hot milk. Mom says we are growing, so we must keep up with nutrition.”

Tian Zao was momentarily stunned; this family not only ate eggs daily but also drank milk, living better than she had imagined.

Jiang Xia, listening by the side, didn’t seem to intend to stop the conversation. Their family’s life was getting better, and the stuff in their interspace realm was growing more abundant; they couldn’t always hide it.

Since it was difficult to explain to the villagers, it was better to straightforwardly tell everyone that their life was gradually improving and to let people know that their improving circumstances were due to Jiang Chuan’s capabilities.

That way, even if their family brought out anything unusual in the future, like the green-tailed prawns from Jiang Xia’s interspace, the villagers wouldn’t find it strange.

However, Jiang Xia also worried, as people often envied those who lived better lives than themselves. Jiang Chuan had faced difficulties before, and everyone had helped, firstly because of their sincerity, and secondly out of pity, as people tend to sympathize with those less fortunate.

But now, the Jiang family was living increasingly better lives, even surpassing other families that were originally well-off, like Chen Xing, the leader of Pushan village. This could inevitably attract envy and give rise to gossip, something evident from the village rumors.

Although the village head chief stepped in to stop the rumors, there were still one or two scheming individuals who discussed these things privately.

Jiang Xia and the rest didn’t care about these comments and viewpoints, but Jiang Xia worried that such rumors could affect Jiang Gu.

Children can be the most outspoken, and if Jiang Gu was teased by her classmates because of these things when she went to primary school, would it cause her psychological harm?

This was also why Zhou Lan insisted on Jiang Xia accompanying Jiang Gu to school, and why Jiang Xia did not refuse.

After listening, Tian Zao became thoughtful. Since the village accountant’s affair was directly related to her, she couldn’t help but pay some attention to the Jiang family’s development during her investigation.

In the process of her visits and conversations with people, Tian Zao couldn’t help but ask about Jiang Chuan’s character and attitude towards life..
