Chapter 149: Eating Pancake
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After the Jiang family finally sent away the villagers who had come to thank them, they found themselves wide awake.
“Oh my, doing a good deed can be so tiring,” Jiang Xia sighed.
“Sister, are you tired? Let me massage you.” Jiang Gu, ever thoughtful, saw that Jiang Xia looked all soft and weary, and volunteered to massage her back.
Zhou Lan was touched by the sight, and even Jiang Chuan’s eyes turned teary.
Despite being so young, Jiang Gu was always so considerate.
“Alright Xiao Xia, enough with the sluggishness, come to the kitchen and help, I’m going to make something delicious for you all!” With a wave of her arm, Zhou Lan energetically dragged Jiang Xia towards the kitchen.
With nothing else to do, Jiang Chuan followed them.
Zhou Lan asked Jiang Chuan to take out the remaining flour from the cart and Jiang Xia to take out some wild vegetables from her interspace. Then, she skillfully mixed the flour with water and cut the wild vegetables into pieces.
“Mom, what are you making?” Jiang Gu asked, her big eyes full of curiosity, having never seen this method of cooking before.
“Today we are having something different. I am making pancakes for you!”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Gu’s eyes lit up. She stared at Zhou Lan with such intensity, as if she could jump into the flour.
Previously, when building their house and having Shen Mo living with them, Zhou Lan hadn’t dared to use such good flour for cooking, fearing suspicion.
Now, with only them at home, Zhou Lan finally had a chance to showcase her skills. Even Jiang Chuan and Jiang Xia were looking forward to it.
Making pancakes was one of Zhou Lan’s specialties.
After preparing the dough, Jiang Chuan lit the fire, Jiang Xia assisted Zhou Lan, and Jiang Gu cheered them on.
When the pancakes were ready, Jiang Gu ate them while praising Zhou Lan, “These are so delicious! Mom, you’re so good at cooking!”
“If you like them, eat more! I’ll make sure there’s enough today!” Zhou Lan said, wiping Jiang Gu’s mouth.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Gu stopped eating midway, returning her pancake to her bowl, her eyes filled with sadness.
“What’s wrong?” Jiang Xia noticed Jiang Gu’s unusual behavior and asked immediately.
“Sister, am I dreaming?”
Jiang Xia glanced at Jiang Chuan and Zhou Lan. They were looking at Jiang Gu with sympathy. “Why do you say that?”
“I’ve went to the county town, stayed in a hotel, visited a shopping mall, ate in a restaurant, and now I’m eating such delicious pancakes. I wouldn’t have dared to dream about these things before.” Jiang Gu’s voice grew softer as she spoke.
“Child, don’t talk like that. As long as your mom is here, you’ll never go hungry,” Zhou Lan, usually carefree, was moved by Jiang Gu’s words, her eyes welling up.
Hearing Zhou Lan’s words, Jiang Gu’s eyes reddened even more, “I wonder how big sister is doing now? If she can eat properly…”
This comment tugged at the heartstrings of the entire family.
Yes, they had made money and were enjoying good food and drinks, but they had almost forgotten that they hadn’t found their eldest sister yet.
In an instant, the lively atmosphere of the family dimmed, and they all lower their heads in silence.
“Don’t worry, Xiao Gu. If I can make enough money for you all to eat well, then 1 can definitely find your eldest sister,” the quiet Jiang Chuan said, patting Jiang Gu’s head, his eyes filled with indescribable determination
At this, Jiang Gu finally managed a tearful smile, looking sweetly at Jiang Chuan, “Mhm, Xiao Gu believes in Daddy.”
After eating and tidying up, Jiang Gu went off to play in the yard by herself.
Jiang Xia, Jiang Chuan, and Zhou Lan sat in the house, looking worried.
“We’re not living too badly now, and we have some money. Can we go to the Jiang family to ask for our elder sister’s address?” Jiang Xia was the first to ask Jiang Chuan.
“Yes, every time I think about our oldest daughter still being out there and not back home, my heart aches,” Zhou Lan also asked Jiang Chuan.
Even though in essence, Jiang Chuan’s family didn’t have much emotional connection with the eldest daughter, they had still received the original owner’s memories. Emotionally, they couldn’t let go of this bond thicker than water.
Jiang Chuan also scratched his head in distress. If they knew the eldest daughter’s address, they could even walk there. But they had to go through the entire Jiang family.
Right now, he had just led the villagers to sell wild vegetables and had some money on hand. But who knew what conditions the Jiang family would propose when the time came? He would really have a big headache then..
