Jiang Gu’s eyes curved into crescents as she said, “Uncle Li said that there is a market on the east street occasionally. Everyone will go there to buy things! Uncle Li said that there are more things in the market than in the supply and marketing club!”

Jiang Xia’s eyes lit up when she heard that. Didn’t they say that private transactions were speculation? Why was there a market to go to? She was quite curious.

However, before Jiang Xia could be happy her father said something, “The market does not open all the time. It only appears during major festivals, such as Christmas, which is celebrated by everyone.”

“Is there a fixed date?” When Jiang Gu asked.

Zhou Lan patted Jiang Gu’s head and said, “When the market opens, Father and Mother will bring you and your sister to play.”

“Really?” Jiang Gu looked at Zhou Lan eagerly.

Jiang Gu was a sensible child and would rarely ask her parents for anything. However, due to the changes in her parents during this period of time, she would occasionally voice her thoughts.

“Of course, Xiao Gu is Father and Mother’s little treasure. Father and Mother will try their best to help fulfill Xiao Gu’s wish.”

Jiang Gu’s eyes reddened when she heard Zhou Lan’s words. She lowered her head and nodded with great effort.

Jiang Xia saw everything and felt a little comforted. The Zhou Lan from this world did not treat Jiang Gu the way her mother treated her now. She still cared for her but she did want a son for her third child.

In this era, even though the country had already opened up, the idea of favoring men over women in many places still could not be changed.

When they were almost done eating, Jiang Chuan went to pay the bill. There was a silent group of people eating next to him. The waiter didn’t say anything to make things difficult this time.

Zhou Lan wiped Jiang Gu’s mouth with a handkerchief and asked, “Xiao Gu, is this meal delicious?”

Jiang Gu nodded her head. “Delicious! In the future, I will work harder and earn a lot of food stamps and money to bring you all here to eat.”

The smile on Jiang Xia’s face froze. She suddenly remembered that her elder sister was still in the ravine. She had been too busy at home recently and did not have time to think about that situation. However, it was not possible to bring her sister home just yet.

Firstly, although they knew the general location where their sister was sold, they did not know the specific route and village.

Secondly, they had not settled down yet. Even if they fought with Old Jiang’s family to get the position of her elder sister, they would still have to suffer trying to bring her back from the mountains.

Moreover, although their mother was strong, no one dared to say that there would not be any accidents.

Jiang Xia could not help but sigh. At the same time, she also heard her mother’s sigh. It seemed that the two of them were thinking the same thing.

At this moment, Wang Wen suddenly walked over and smiled at Jiang Xia. “Girls, are you ready to leave?”

Jiang Xia nodded not knowing why he asked.

“It’s like this. We want someone to lead us to the countryside in the future. Is there any way to contact you?” Wang Wen asked.

The traffic was inconvenient at this time, and there were very few ways to send messages. Jiang Xia couldn’t think of a good idea at the moment.

Suddenly, Jiang Xia glanced at the basket from the corner of his eye and his eyes lit up. “Uncle, my father is in contact with Uncle Li’s family who lives in the west of the town. If you want to find us, you can tell Uncle Li!”

Wang Wen thought for a moment before realizing who Uncle Li was.

Wang Wen was once again impressed by Jiang Xia. She said they were friends but Wang Wen knew that the man had been doing business in private.

Wang Wen nodded showing his agreement.

Previously, he could tell that the little girl did not want to have any contact with them. As long as there was a channel to find them, it was fine. It did not matter what method they used..
