Zhou Lan didn’t give Jiang Xia a chance to refuse, saying this and then quickly walking to Jiang Chuan to repeat her words.

Jiang Chuan originally planned to accompany Zhou Lan, but he was concerned that he might slow her down, so he allowed Zhou Lan to go alone.

After Zhou Lan left, Jiang Xia returned the camera to the glasses uncle, who seemed so nervous that it amused her.

It wasn’t that the glasses uncle was stingy, but rather the photographs inside the camera were quite important.

Jiang Xia returned to Shen Mo’s side and they exchanged glances, falling into a moment of silence.

Finally, Jiang Xia broke the silence. She didn’t want any misunderstandings. “Don’t mind my mother’s earlier words. Her personality is a bit…” She searched for the right words before continuing, “eccentric. If she said anything, just ignore it.”

Shen Mo looked at Jiang Xia, his expression somewhat softened. He could feel that this girl had no intentional desire to get close to him.

“Your mother just told me to rest well during this time, not to exercise vigorously, and provided some methods for wound care. She didn’t say anything else,” Shen Mo replied.

Jiang Xia nodded.” That’s good.”

The conversation fell into a stalemate again, but this time, it was Shen Mo who found a topic.

“The village chief mentioned that you all went up the mountain in search of food for the villagers, did you find it?”

Bringing up this topic, Jiang Xia showed a bright smile.

“We found it. Although the villagers have to try planting them themselves, 1 think it’s worth a shot.”

Shen Mo looked at Jiang Xia’s sparkling eyes full of hope, and for a moment he was lost in thought. Snapping back to reality, he simply nodded his head.

Unexpectedly, the more Jiang Xia thought about it, the happier she got. She directly took out the seeds from the bag and began explaining them to Shen Mo.

Initially, Shen Mo didn’t pay much attention, but as he listened, he grew more serious. According to Jiang Xia, these seeds have a much higher yield than regular ones. If the villagers really could grow them, they would have more food stored for winter, which would help them last longer.

Perhaps because she was thinking about how it could help the villagers, Jiang Xia was too absorbed in her own joy to notice the change in Shen Mo’s expression.

Shen Mo noticed that when Jiang Xia talked about being able to do something for the villagers, there was a twinkle in her eyes. This surprised Shen Mo.”

Life was bearable a few years ago, but ever since the famine spread, people have become more focused on their own survival. Instances of people fighting over a single bite to eat were not uncommon, so who would have the capacity to consider others?

In response to Jiang Xia’s explanation, Shen Mo inquired, “What do you think is the solution to the famine?”

Shen Mo’s question left Jiang Xia startled. Not that she didn’t know how to respond, but she suddenly realized that she had shared too much with Shen Mo. The ancient warning of ‘loose lips sink ships’ came to mind.

Seeing that Jiang Xia didn’t respond right away, Shen Mo couldn’t help but smile to himself, thinking it was odd to ask such a question to a young girl. Just as he was about to say that his question was merely casual, he heard Jiang Xia speak up.

“To solve the famine, the country has to come up with a policy. We ordinary people just have to comply.”After saying that, Jiang Xia revealed her signature smile.

Shen Mo knew from her response that she did have some ideas, but was probably too afraid to voice them.

“You don’t dare to say?” Shen Mo asked, looking directly into Jiang Xia’s eyes.

Jiang Xia simply smiled and remained silent, while Shen Mo continued, “If you have thoughts, speak them out. We are not living in a feudal dynasty without freedom of speech. A country can only develop better if it listens to its people.” “Will they listen if I speak?” Jiang Xia asked with a smile.

“They will. Just like you said before, the government will send people to investigate.”

Jiang Xia raised his eyebrows. It seemed like he had to hear something from her.

Jiang Xia arched an eyebrow, noting his insistence on hearing her thoughts. “The current famine is due to two factors,” she began. “Firstly, there’s the drought, which is a natural disaster and out of our control. Secondly, there’s the communal dining system. In our village, for example, because we saw people starving to death last year, the village chief distributed grain to everyone. If everyone eats together, regardless of whether there’s enough food, people will strive to eat, even if they are already full. Doesn’t the old saying go, ‘Better to burst from eating than to die of starvation’? However, if the grain is distributed to each household, everyone will conserve food, maybe eat less per meal, but they won’t starve to death. Hence, other villages could also implement this approach, following our village’s lead.”

After explaining the situation to Shen Mo, Jiang Xia felt that if all areas distributed grain, the village chief would no longer have to worry so much..
