Since the whole family was busy preparing for the Dragon Boat Festival, basically all the housework was left to grandma and my little aunt Erya.

Although festivals should be festive and joyful, the Lin family is too busy to care about that at this moment.

On the fourth day of May, Lin Daniu, Lin Xiaoniu and his two sons went out in a grand manner.

The family's cart was taken to the town by Lin Erniu to transport fish balls, so this time Lin Daniu pushed the cart, while Lin Xiaoniu and Gouwei carried the load on their shoulders.

Even the naked ones carried small cloth bags, which contained their evening food.

It was still mid-morning when we set out from Linjia Village. The sun was high in the sky, and the plants and trees in the woods were shaking their heads wildly.

"Gudan, let's walk and rest today, at most we'll get tarnished, so you should slow down with your short legs."

Lin Daniu turned his head and looked at Guangdan, who was struggling with his short legs and panting, and joked with a smile.

Guangdan glanced at everyone with resentment. Except for himself, everyone else had good leg strength.

In this era, people basically traveled on foot, which was incomparable to later generations when there were various means of transportation to choose from.

Even if a wealthier family has a cow, the cow is treated not much different from the eldest grandson in the family.

After all, it’s a cow!

As Guangdan walked, he was still thinking about the cow. He thought about the price of calves in the town and decided that he couldn't afford them.

Perhaps because of the festival, there are obviously more people on the road to the county town than usual.

Lin Xiaoniu was chatting with his companions all the way. One good thing about being a peddler is that there is nothing he doesn't know about the surrounding area, and he can basically chat about anything.

Lin Daniu and Gouwei and his son were listening happily on the side, only Guangdan was looking curiously at the farmlands and villages along the road.

Looking at the smooth path not far away, Guangdan asked curiously, "This village road is really nice! It probably won't be bumpy even after the rain!"

Lin Xiaoniu followed Guangdan's line of sight and grinned as he said, "Mr. Li in this village has a son who passed the imperial examination and became a scholar a few years ago. Mr. Li was so happy that he built a road for him."

"Oh, that's such a happy event!" Lin Daniu said with envy as he looked at the many blue brick and tile houses in the village.

"This village seems to be quite rich. The houses seem to be better than ours." Gouwei also said curiously.

"I'm afraid you don't know this, but I know this village! I'm very familiar with it! Mr. Li is a kind person, willing to do work for the villagers, and we are all from the same family, so we are getting rich slowly! I heard that Mr. Li has a daughter who married to the capital city!"

The middle-aged man pulling the cart next to him grinned and said cheerfully, with a look full of "Ask me! Ask me!"

Lin Xiaoniu did not let the man down, and asked curiously, "Oh, brother, how did you know that? I've been here to sell goods, and the people here are very generous!"

"Hahaha, of course not. If you have money, you won't be stingy! My niece married into this village! During festivals, she never returns empty-handed!"

The man spoke with a tone of complete smugness, which made Guangdan curious and turned his head to look at him for a long time.

But at this moment, Guangdan couldn't help but think that the Linjia Village in the original book was even better than this village. Many people even came from far away to attend the clan's school.

I just want to get some of Lin Xingzhi's wisdom.

"Oh, I wish our village could be like this!" said Gouwei, sighing softly.

In the past, he thought that Linjia Village was already very wealthy. After all, it was quite good compared with the surrounding villages.

Now I feel that I am still short-sighted. Thinking of this, I looked at my uncle with some envy.

My uncle is out there, so he probably knows everything, right? That's great!

At this moment, the honest man Gouwei suddenly had the idea of ​​going out to take a look.

Most of the people he met along the way were simple and honest men. Lin Xiaoniu was an active person and he also inquired about a lot of things happening in the county.

The further Guangdan walked, the heavier his feet felt. His good mood at the beginning gradually disappeared, and he felt that he could hardly walk anymore.

But this time, no one was carrying him! So he could only grit his teeth and follow, but he walked slower and slower.

"Are you unable to walk anymore?" Gouwei looked at the sweat on his brother's forehead and asked with concern while thinking about how to carry the boy.

"Gudan can't walk anymore? Come to daddy!" Lin Daniu was afraid that Gouwei would lift Guangdan up directly, so he quickly found a place on the wheelbarrow and said.

Guangdan didn't have time to be polite at this moment, he really couldn't take it anymore!

He limped to Lin Daniu's side, tiptoed and sat down on him.

"Thank you, Dad. I'll go to the county town to buy you some wine!" He said this while tilting his head back with a tired smile on his face.

"You said you had to come, what can you do in the county town?" Lin Daniu muttered a few words without giving him any face, then he mustered up his strength and started pushing the cart.

The brat is a bit heavy!

At this time, Lin Xiaoniu glanced at the two orchids in his basket. Both of them already had small flower buds. According to Guangdan, it would definitely be more expensive to sell them in the county town than in the town.

"Thank you for your hard work, Dad!" Guangdan said with a smile, and then Lin Daniu felt like he was choked and didn't know what to say for a moment.

As for Guangdan, how should I put it, he has deeper feelings for Fang Cuihua. Lin Daniu is not good at expressing himself and he spends his days in the fields. Guangdan feels that he and Lin Daniu can be considered a loving father and a filial son, right?

There's not much intimacy between father and son, but when you think about how smart Goudan is, Lin Daniu and him are just like that, so there's no discomfort in your heart.

When the sun set, the group had reached the outskirts of the city.

"It's probably about ten miles to go. Where are you going to rest, my friends?" the man pulling the cart asked Lin Xiaoniu directly.

"We are planning to go to the county tomorrow morning and find a temple here to spend the night." Lin Xiaoniu had already become familiar with the people along the way, so he simply told them his plan directly.

"That's a coincidence! There's a temple of the God of Wealth nearby! There's an empty house next to it! Every time we go there to rest, we also pray for good luck!"

The middle-aged man motioned Lin Xiaoniu to follow him. Although he was alone, there were a lot of things on the cart, and it was obvious that he often went to the county town.

Lin Xiaoniu glanced at Lin Daniu, then quickly said a few nice words and followed him.

After all, it is better to have someone lead them than to go to the mountains to look for it by themselves. They are not familiar with the county town at all!

Only Guangdan was thinking at this time, what if the uncle was a bad guy, wouldn’t they be walking into a den of thieves?

Lin Xiaoniu: You don't have to think like that. How much are we worth? We are worth nothing at all!
