Chapter 19

Grandma Jiang, who was preparing to ask Aunt Xu to make lunch, heard Qiao Xiazhi’s call and said, “Xiaomei, am I hallucinating? I seem to hear Xiazhi calling me.”

“Grandma.” Qiao Xiazhi continued to shout outside the house.

This time, Grandma Jiang was sure that it was Qiao Xiazhi. “It’s Xiazhi. It’s really Xiazhi who came to see me. Xiaomei, go open the door.”

“No, no, no, I’ll go. I’ll go open the door. You go and cook. You must be hungry at this time.”

Grandma Jiang said this and stood up and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

For more than two months, Grandma Jiang remembered what Qiao Xiazhi said every day and used eye drops to wash her eyes and drink milk on time.

Gradually, not only did my eyes stop shedding tears, but I could also see more and more clearly.

If Aunt Xu stood in front of her, she could still vaguely see Aunt Xu’s appearance.

This is already a very, very good recovery result.

As soon as she opened the door, Grandma Jiang saw Qiao Xiazhi in front of her. Just as she had thought, Xiazhi was very standard-looking and clean, and she and her grandson were a perfect match made in heaven.

“Summer Solstice~~” grandma shouted happily.

Qiao Xiazhi was also very happy when he saw that it was Grandma Jiang who opened the door, “Grandma, can you see now?”

“Come in first. I was just about to ask your Aunt Xu to cook, and you came just in time.” Grandma Jiang happily welcomed Qiao Xiazhi into the house.

As soon as Qiao Xiazhi entered the house, he quickly put down the backpack.

When Grandma Jiang saw this, she was so happy: “You kid, you came all right, but why are you bringing things for Grandma again? And such a big basket. Are you tired?”

Qiao Xiazhi smiled and said, “No, I heard from a friend that it rained in many places during the summer harvest, and the harvest season is not very good. It’s not bad in our area at the moment, and the impact is not great.”

“Then when the grain was distributed, I asked my family for more. I thought it would be hard for grandma to buy grain in the city, so I sent some to you. It’s not much, only 100 kilograms of flour and 50 kilograms of rice.”

“Also, there is this bacon, which my grandma asked me to bring to you for you to try, and some wild bamboo shoots.”

“And this milk powder. I bought two cans when I passed by the department store just now, thinking that grandma must have finished the ones at home.”

As Qiao Xiazhi spoke, he took everything out of the backpack.

Of course, she also injected supernatural powers into these things.

All of these will help Grandma Jiang recover her health.

Grandma Jiang looked at the table filled with food placed by Qiao Xiazhi and was so happy that she didn’t know what to say.

But if it were in the past, she would have burst into tears.

But now she can control it herself.

“I’m sorry to trouble you and your family. You think of grandma for everything, even the food.”

After Grandma Jiang finished speaking, Aunt Xu brought Qiao Xiazhi a glass of warm water and echoed:

“Miss Xiazhi came at the right time. I was worried about food these past two days, and then Miss Xiazhi sent us some food. Now that we have the food, it has finally solved our urgent problem.”

Grandma Jiang: “We have to give the money for the food to Xia Zhi later. Her family paid for it. We can’t just take it.”

“Don’t worry, I know.” Aunt Xu said, and then said to Qiao Xiazhi: “Miss Xiazhi, sit down and rest for a while, the food will be ready soon.”

Qiao Xiazhi: “Grandma, it’s just some food, no need to pay.”

Grandma Jiang: “I have to give it to you. I have to give it to you. You have to keep it. Only then can I eat the food. You have to know that the food is grown by you with great effort. You also have to carry it from the village to give it to me with great effort. You have to take this money no matter what.”

“As for the bacon your grandma asked you to bring me, I accepted it. And the milk powder you gave to grandma, she didn’t refuse it either. Thank you for always thinking about grandma during the summer solstice.”

When she came here for the first time, Grandma Jiang was not stupid. She could naturally see that Xia Zhi’s relationship with her grandson had not reached that stage yet.

However, now that Xia Zhi is thinking of her, and comes to visit her when his grandson is not at home, she knows that her hope has increased.

As long as her grandson is not a stupid person, it seems that she should have hope of having a great-grandson.

Before lunch started, Qiao Xiazhi washed her grandmother’s eyes and put eye drops in them.

“Grandma, your eyes look much better now. I don’t know when they will be able to see clearly again.”

“It’s all thanks to you.”

“Why did grandma say that?” Qiao Xiazhi pretended to be stupid.

“It’s all because of you. Grandma is happy, so you’ll get better soon.”

“After that, I often came to visit grandma and often made her happy.”

“Okay, okay, okay. Even though Yun Chen is not at home this time, you have to stay and accompany grandma.”

Qiao Xiazhi did not refuse. He had already discussed it with his family, so he agreed: “Okay, okay, then I will stay here for two more days. I will spend more time with grandma.”

When Grandma Jiang saw that Qiao Xiazhi agreed, she was so happy that she couldn’t stop smiling.

“Grandma’s eyesight has improved a lot in the past two days. You can go out for a walk with her tomorrow.”

Qiao Xiazhi: “Okay, I’ll take grandma out for a walk.”

Let’s put it this way. After lunch, grandma went to take a nap first, and Qiao Xiazhi read medical books in the living room.

After Aunt Xu was done, she handed her a glass of water and asked, “What book is Miss Xiazhi reading?”

“This is a medical book.” Qiao Xiazhi took the cup of water, “Thank you.”

Aunt Xu was shocked when she heard this: “Miss Xia Zhi can read medical books?”

Qiao Xiazhi: “Because my ancestors were doctors, my grandfather’s great-grandfather was once the imperial physician in the palace, and these books were left by him. Now when I have nothing to do, I ask my grandfather to bring the books to read and learn from them.”

After saying this, Aunt Xu suddenly began to doubt whether the old lady’s eyes had anything to do with her.

But it’s hard to say. Anyway, it’s a good thing that the old lady’s eyesight is getting better and better.

If it really has something to do with Miss Xia Zhi, then Miss Xia Zhi is a really great child.

If she really marries the old lady’s grandson in the future, she can really enjoy her retirement life again.

“Miss Xiazhi, take care of yourself. I’ll go see the old lady.”

Qiao Xiazhi nodded: “It’s okay, Aunt Xu, just do your thing.”

Qiao Xiazhi continued reading, and when Grandma Jiang woke up from her nap, she would chat with her.

Listen to Grandma Jiang tell everything about Jiang Yunchen’s life from birth to growing up.

Except for what happened when I was ten years old, everything else is worth being happy about.

Before he was ten years old, Jiang Yunchen was a very lively and cheerful boy. Later, when something happened at home, he always had a stern face, rarely smiled, and seldom spoke.

Grandma Jiang also told Qiao Xiazhi about Jiang Yunchen’s nickname ‘Thousand Years of Ice’.

The grandmother and granddaughter were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn’t even notice it was getting dark.

It wasn’t until Aunt Xu called out that dinner was ready that I reacted.

“Look, our Xiazhi is here. Chatting with grandma makes the day go by much faster. Let’s go, let’s eat. We can’t let our Xiazhi go hungry.”

In the evening, Grandma Jiang was in much better condition than before and ate a little more.

Aunt Xu saw it all and her face was filled with joy.

At nine o’clock in the evening, after Qiao Xiazhi made sure that everyone in the house was asleep, she tiptoed downstairs and left.

Then he armed himself fully and went to the alley where he had agreed to meet Uncle Xu.

Of course, before every transaction, she not only armed herself fully, but also changed her voice.

When she arrived at the place, she used her supernatural powers to make sure that there was no one around before she took out the food from the space.

500 kilograms of white rice and white flour each, and 300 kilograms of brown rice and corn flour each.

Originally, she thought she could just gather 1,000 kilograms, but then she thought that a bag of grain weighed 100 kilograms anyway, so it wouldn’t be a big deal to take out 16 bags.

Now that you’re here, wouldn’t it be nice to make a big profit?

Uncle Xu charged her 90 cents per pound for white rice and flour, 60 cents for brown rice, and 40 cents for cornmeal.

I earned twelve hundred this trip.

The twelve hundred was her personal property, which she could save up and spend slowly. Adding the three hundred she got from the watch and the six hundred extra ginseng she sold in the morning, she now had nearly two thousand in personal property, which was considered very wealthy.

The money and goods were settled, and there was no further conversation during the entire transaction except reporting the weight, checking the goods, and paying the money.

But at the last minute, Qiao Xiazhi said, “Two days later, at the same time and place, I’ll get you another 2,000 kilograms, do you want that?”

Qiao Xiazhi found it troublesome to deal with hundreds of kilograms of cargo. There were risks involved anyway, so it was better to do something big.

Besides, she was fully armed and her voice was changed, so it was still difficult to find out her identity with the technology at that time.

Besides, the black market in this parallel world is actually an unspoken existence by everyone. It can survive in this era because there is demand from the people.

There is also an old saying that goes, ‘Starvation kills the timid, and gluttony kills the bold.’

Since you are selling it anyway, and you don’t have to look for buyers one by one, why not spend more? Just don’t spend too much.

Instead of going through this process over and over again and increasing the risk, it is better to get it done once or twice and then withdraw. No one will know who she is.

Uncle Xu is a businessman. Since he can do business to his level, Qiao Xiazhi has nothing to worry about.

When he heard that he could help get another 1,000 kilograms, Uncle Xu nodded like a rooster pecking at rice, “Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.”

Two thousand kilograms, and you can make a few hundred dollars by reselling it, only a fool would refuse.

What’s more, since it was two thousand kilograms, he almost knew that it would be more and not less. Fortunately, he went back to get an extra thousand yuan at the last minute this time, otherwise the money would not be enough.

This time he really met a rich man.

He made three hundred yuan from selling those two ginsengs this morning! And he made several hundred yuan from selling the grains! If he wasn’t a wealthy man, what else could he be?

It seems that I must have a good relationship with this rich man in the future. Even if I don’t know who he is or his name, I still have to maintain a good relationship with him.

Maybe he will be able to cooperate with him next time when something great like this happens.

After returning quietly from the alley of the black market, Qiao Xiazhi went back to his room and fell into a sound sleep.

The next day, I accompanied Grandma Jiang to the department store as if nothing had happened.

When they arrived at the department store, grandma insisted that Qiao Xiazhi try on two sets of clothes. Qiao Xiazhi couldn’t resist grandma, so he had to accept it with pleasure.

In fact, this kind of mutual dedication is quite good.

Grandma knew that she was worried about her, so she brought her a lot of things in big and small bags. Grandma didn’t know what she needed, so she took her to buy nice clothes.

Because there is no girl who doesn’t like beautiful clothes.

Instead of being hypocritical and pushing it away, it is better to accept it with joy and then give it back from somewhere else.

This way grandma will feel better.

Today, grandma’s eyesight could be seen more clearly again. When Qiao Xiazhi put on new clothes, grandma could see that they looked nice and fit her well. She could also see that the girl in the new clothes was smiling happily, and grandma was very happy too.
