Shen Mo saw that Jiang Xia was quiet, and thought that she was unsure of his reason for being there. He quickly explained, "The wild vegetables you gave me last time were tasty. Even Uncle Wang agreed. I heard that your village is trading it for grain. I'm worried the wild vegetables might run out, so I came to trade for more."
He then pulled out three grain tickets from his pocket, asking, "Is this enough?"
Jiang Chuan's face changed when he heard this. He wondered why Shen Mo hadn't mentioned wanting wild vegetables before. Now that his daughter was home, did he suddenly want the wild vegetables?
Jiang Chuan liked Shen Mo. He was a hard worker, from a good family, and had even been a soldier. But, if Shen Mo was interested in his daughter, Jiang Chuan would have to rethink things.
"Xiao Xia, Xiao Gu, your mom isn't home today. So, if you want to have someone over for a meal, you'll need to help cook."
