However, after chasing for one or two miles, they still did not see Jiang Yue and Xue Yan. They assumed that those two had horses to ride. Therefore, they would not be able to catch up even if they ran for miles and miles. Moreover, they did not know where they went. They did not even know where they lived. With a big sigh, they could only turn back.
Tao Jinyan and the elderly in the village who had difficulty walking had already arrived at the food. Seeing that Tao Zhen and the others had returned without catching up, everyone felt regretful.
They had given them so much food, vegetables, and even seeds to sustain themselves, but they had not even thanked them personally.
However, there was nothing they could do. They had already left. Tao Jinyan sighed. “Fortunately, Dahzhu thanked us on behalf of the entire village. Alright, alright, let’s move these back. They even gave us seeds. They were so thoughtful. Not only did they take care of our current situation, but they also took care of our future. Even if Dazhu didn’t tell us, we can tell with one look that these seeds are good. We also know that the final yield will be higher than the ordinary seeds we’ve been plating. We have to cherish them and work hard for them. We have to plant them well and not let them down.”
Everyone nodded with blurry eyes.
He finally felt that there was a future for his village.
After the grains, vegetables, and seeds were moved back to the village, they began to distribute them.
Naturally, they had to line up in an orderly manner.
When they were queuing up, they chatted.
Someone in the village laughed and said, “Rich families are different. Not only can they preserve last year’s oranges until this time of the year, but they can also preserve their vegetables until this time. Just looked at this cabbage. Our family planted it the earliest in the village this year. It now only sprouted.”
“When I was working in town, I heard people say that you can dig a cellar, store the vegetables in the cellar, and then seal the cellar. You can leave them there for a few months or until the next year, and they’ll still be as fresh as before. I didn’t believe it before, but now I do.” Another person laughed.
“I’ve never heard of this before. I’ve only heard of ice cellars. I heard that rich people would place ice in the cellar in winter and seal the cellar. Then, there would be ice to eat the following summer.” An old woman laughed.
“Yes, it should be similar to what they do. Whatever it is, everything is sealed in the underground cellar.” someone said.
“Yes, yes,” many people echoed.
Although they were chatting under the hot sun, their faces were filled with joy.
The others were the same.
Tao Zhen’s face was also full of smiles. As he helped his father divide the things, he spoke to Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou, who were also helping at the side.
After hearing that Zhang Dazhu did not see Jiang Yue and Xue Yan riding horses, nor did he see someone put the grain and vegetable seeds in the grass, he stopped what he was doing.
He found it strange.
Why did it feel like it was only Jiang Yue and Xue Yan that came to this place, and that there was no one else at all?
However, seeing that Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou didn’t know anything more, he didn’t ask further.
If it was strange, then so be it. Even if they were in front of him, he would not ask anything. He could tell they were oddballs, and so could his father. The two benefactors were very mysterious, but they helped Stone Village.
They were all poor farmers and had nothing to give in return. To be able to treat them well like this showed just how great those two benefactors were.
Since they were good people, even if they were mysterious and not willing to share about themselves, he was willing to trust his two benefactors and respect their wishes in remaining mysterious. He would not ask anything.
