Jiang Xing left and did not return until evening.
Jiang Xiaoman had been waiting for him for a long time. She already knew that Little Flower would not escape this tribulation when she left, but when she saw him coming back empty-handed, she still couldnât help but shed some tears.
âUncle, you villain! Little Flower was still so young.â
Jiang Xing said, âItâs only because it was still young that it was very delicious.â
â......!!!â Xiaoman was so angry that she burst into tears.
She angrily ran to the pigpen and threw a handful of pigweed to the through, loudly saying âBig Flower, eat more. Get fatter so uncle canât carry you anymore!â
Jiang Xing couldnât coax her, so he could only leave and report back to Jiang Xiumei on the progress he made today.
âBut other than a letter, sometimes you also want to send goods to people. Then what should we do? So there must also be the corresponding people that handle the transportation of goods. They do the same thing as the post office but send goods instead of letters. Your uncles are probably going to do similar kinds of work, transporting goods from one place to another.â
âWhen the goods that need to be transported reach a certain size, then the corresponding scale is needed to transport it. At this stage, you would need a specialized team and management to do it. Take online shopping, for example, goods from one store could be sent to all parts of the country. Itâs impossible to do that alone.â
Xiaoman knew about the post office. There was one in the village, but it was already very old and tattered. There was an old grandpa that sits there all day reading the newspaper. Usually, almost no one went there. Even the mailboxâs locks were already rusty.
But there was a word there that she didnât know.
She already forgot about the topic with her uncle and asked the system while blinking her eyes. âWhat is online shopping?â
âItâs...â The system wanted to sigh, but unfortunately, it wasnât equipped with this feature. âItâs a method for shopping that will become popular in the future. Itâs just like how you usually buy candies, you can buy things from far, far away straight from here.â
âSo convenient?â She got up with a bang, her eyes sparkling. âThen why is it only available later, not now? Why havenât I heard of something so good before? How much later will it be? Later Uncle...â
âEnough!â The system couldnât bear it anymore. âWhy are there so many âwhyâs? I donât know! It is what it is, it doesnât exist now, it will only exist later! Itâs a question of the human worldâs development, it doesnât have anything to do with the system! Iâm a villain system, not an encyclopedia. Donât ask me âwhyâ anymore!â
Jiang Xiaoman heard that its tone was not very good, so she angrily shut her mouth, and was a little sad.
The two of them went quiet for a while, neither saying anything.
