Chapter 270: Chapter 266: Regret of the Past_1

Translator: 549690339

Wei Zhan and Xiao Chengyu spent two days at the Jiang family house.

On the third day, Chui Zhaochen prepared to take them home.

Wei Zhan accepted this bravely, understanding that if he didn’t return, he might be grounded for another six months, so he obediently boarded the carriage, waving goodbye to Huzi and the others: “I’ll come again during the New Year!”

Xiao Chengyu stubbornly refused to leave, kicking and punching the guard who was holding him and crying out for help.

“Ah ah ah! Help! I don’t want to go back! Wuwuwu… I want to get down! I’m not going back!”

The guard didn’t dare to use force, and the young master slipped out of his arms in an unguarded moment.

Xiao Chengyu swiftly ran to Yingbao, hugging her tightly: “Wuwuwu… I don’t want to go back, Sister Yingbao save me…”

Helplessly, Yingbao patted him, “Don’t you want your parents anymore?”

Xiao Chengyu shook his head firmly, his face wet with tears and snot, “No, I don’t.”

Yingbao was speechless, used the hem of his clothes to wipe his face, and coaxed him: “Then you go home first, and come play with your brother Wei Zhan later, okay?”

“No good.” Xiao Chengyu clung to her, sobbing and whimpering, feeling terribly wronged, “Mother won’t allow it.”

Yingbao thought for a while and said: “Then, sister will give you a pot of peach juice, you take it back and let your mother taste it. Maybe she will agree to let you stay here for a few more days.”

Xiao Chengyu blinked, and with his undeveloped mind, he felt that it made a lot of sense through his immature thoughts.

Because the peach juice was too delicious and could help digestion, even when he was full it didn’t harm his stomach or cause pain, surely his mother would like it.

“Then, then I want two pots.” Xiao Chengyu began to bargain.

One pot for his mother, and the other one would be for him to drink.

Yingbao: “Fine, two pots then.”

As long as she could send away this little troublemaker, even giving him three pots would be fine.

After all, the peach trees next to her Pupil Spring had already blossomed and fruited, producing peaches that were large, red, and sweet.

At this time of year, she alone could not finish eating the peaches and grapes and she couldn’t bring them out to share, so she had to cook them into peach juice or grape juice, occasionally bringing out a pot for her brother to drink.

Merely cooking fruit juice could not solve the problem, so she also brewed some peach wine and grape wine in her cave.

In Beijing, she had once bought a pot of yeast, and with the pots compensated by the Xiao family, she could brew a lot of wine.

When the wine was ready and the holidays came, she would bring out some as gifts, or keep the rest for family use.

Yingbao ran back to her house, brought two pots of peach juice for Xiao Chengyu.

Seeing Wei Zhan looking at her reproachfully, she gave him two pots as well, and then finally managed to send the two of them off.

Returning home, Jiang Quan was constantly eyeing his little cousin, pestering her with questions: “Where did you get so much peach juice?”

“I boiled it earlier, stored it in the house and didn’t take it out.” Yingbao replied calmly.

Jiang Quan suspected his little cousin was lying, but had no proof.

“Are you coming to the county seat with me?” he asked.

Yingbao: “No need.” The county store was managed by the two elder cousins, she didn’t need to involve herself in everything.

Moreover, the store side was building a house recently and accommodation would be inconvenient if she went.

Jiang Quan shook his head regretfully, and began to record the golden and silver mushrooms that the younger cousin had moved out.

Their store mainly made big money from the golden and silver mushrooms, and everything else was trifle.

However, this year’s gourds were surprisingly fruitful, drawing many people to the specialty store to buy.

The gourds grown by the villagers were basically sold by Jiang Quan, and every household had earned a good amount of money.

Even a few households in West Village that grew gourds had made a small fortune because of this.

Jiang Quan took a few baskets of mushrooms and dozens of gourds back to the county town. Accompanying him were his elder brother Jiang Cheng, along with Yuanbao and Jiang Jie.
