Chapter 75: Strawberries Out of Season

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Jiang Xia was impressed by her little sister’s ability to grasp the main point.

She thought Jiang Gu would be curious about the deal she wanted to make with young Master Shen.

Jiang Xia tapped Jiang Gu’s forehead and laughed, “You think about love at such a young age.”

“Jiang Xia, tell me!” Jiang Gu didn’t stop Jiang Xia from walking anymore. She just hugged Jiang Xia’s arm and begged for an answer as they walked.

“Mother said to find someone who dotes on you, but it’s hard to find someone as good as Father. You can say that he’s one in a million.” Jiang Xia said sadly.

Jiang Xia’s father was indeed good to her mother. She once heard from her eldest uncle that when her father was pursuing her mother, her mother’s family was against it. They thought that her mother, a young lady from a martial arts family, could not marry a weak young man who was still starting his own business.

However, it was her father to climbed the 999 steps of Tan Shui Temple on foot just to obtain a marriage talisman.

…..
Her father stood under the sun for two hours during the hottest time of the day in order to pass the test her uncle gave. This lasted for three months.

Her aunt had once told her a joke, saying that her father had destroyed three pots in their house in order to cook for her mother.

As the saying went, love that is too passionate can never last long. Her parent’s love did, however. It had not changed for years and even decades.

She had once been envious and told her friends that she also wanted this kind of love. However, as she grew older up, she understood that her parents were a rare case. If she really looked for someone according to that standard, she might never meet someone she could spend her entire life with.

Jiang Xia gave Jiang Gu a gentle smile. “Compared to a destined love, I prefer a love that is equal in strength. Complementing each other’s shortcomings. There is no one who gives more to the other. There are only two people fighting for their own goals, improving together, and being outstanding together.”

“Xiao Gu, if you want to find someone who loves you, you have to be outstanding first, understand?” Jiang Xia stroked Jiang Gu’s head and said.

Jiang Gu nodded blankly. “Jiang Xia, you are so smart!”

Jiang Xia looked at Jiang Gu and burst out laughing. “Look! You distracted me and made me talk too much about love. Don’t think too much first! You have to take care of yourself first. How can you meet a good guy when all you think about every day is how hungry you will be without food.”

At the mention of food, Jiang Gu’s small face fell. It was true. They do not have enough food. She did not have the time to think about guys.

When they arrived at the entrance of the Shen family’s house, the sisters were not in a hurry to enter. Instead, they found an empty space across the street and sat down.

Jiang Gu rested her elbows on her knees and propped up her small face with her hands as she looked at the beautiful girls passing by in boredom.

“Jiang Xia, you want to discuss a deal. Are you not going to knock on the door?”

Jiang Xia didn’t answer. She just put down the small basket and took out a strawberry from it and handed it to Jiang Gu.

Jiang Gu carefully took the strawberries and tilted her head, her eyes filled with confusion.

She did not do anything special today to be rewarded with strawberries.

“Eat! Today is an exception.” Jiang Xia said as she took out a strawberry and put it into her mouth.

A sweet taste spread in her mouth, instantly relieving the irritability brought by the heat.

Seeing Jiang Xia eat, Jiang Gu also started to eat in small bites.

Speaking of which, Jiang Gu and Jiang Xia really did not fit in with the atmosphere at the entrance of the Shen residence. The girls who came to the entrance of the Shen residence to wait for a chance encounter were all dressed up in bright and beautiful clothes. At the very least, they were simple and clean. It was the first time they saw patched clothes like theirs.

The girls passing by couldn’t help but notice them. But what they cared more about than the two sisters was what the two sisters ate.

Strawberry seasons were in April and it was already May now. Everyone was curious as to where they got their strawberries.

One of the girls walked to the two sisters and asked curiously, “Are you eating strawberries?”

Jiang Xia nodded.” Yes! What’s wrong?”

The girl looked at the red fruits in their hands and asked curiously, “Where did you get these strawberries? It’s already May. Are there still strawberries to pick?”

Jiang Xia smiled sweetly at the girl. “We found this when we entered the forest. There are very few of them..Do you want to try it?”
