After she became the brother of the male protagonist in the imperial examination, she became the spo

When talking about this, Guangdan felt a little melancholy. In the original book, this great general died of an old illness soon after conquering the Shaxi land.

Because of talking about the war in the west, Lin Xiaoniu seemed to be particularly excited, and his originally depressed mood gradually disappeared. He even did not complain when he saw the snow on the official road getting thicker and thicker.

Fang Cuihua, who was riding on the other ox cart, had a frown on her face, which made Mrs. Wu and her two grandchildren a little at a loss. The four-year-old child was too shy to speak, and Mrs. Wu didn't say anything except a few "oh oh" sounds to coax the child in her arms.

"You may still need to squeeze in when you go back." Fang Cuihua looked at the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren in front of her, as well as her friend who was driving a car outside. Only then did she remember that there were so many more people in the house all of a sudden, and accommodation would be a problem.

"As long as there's a place to warm up, it'll be fine." Mrs. Wu said with a relaxed expression.

Fang Cuihua was thankful at the moment that before coming to the city, Guangdan had messed around at home and made a few more quilts, but she soon realized that perhaps this little guy had anticipated this?

As for Mrs. Wu, although they were still on a snowy mountain road, she felt at ease. Although the host family was not very wealthy, the lady was kind-hearted and not a pushy person.

The interpersonal relationships in the host family are also simple, and even the lady does not directly reveal the identities of herself and her friends in front of everyone.

Instead, she said that she and the young master had hired her to grow herbs. It was said that there were not many slaves or servants in the fields in the countryside, so in order to avoid unnecessary gossip, she just let it go.

Although these did not have a big impact on Mrs. Wu's future life, she felt very comfortable.

The group came down from the official road before dark, and when they rested in the inn, the heavy snow still showed no sign of stopping.

"Is this road easy for you all?" the young waiter said with a smile while pouring hot tea.

"That's right! After all the hassles, we still encountered this heavy snow!" Lin Xiaoniu also started to complain with a smile.

"It's just that it's inconvenient for you to travel, otherwise we have to say that the snow this year is good, and auspicious snow means a good harvest. There will definitely be a good harvest next year!" The old man sitting at the door smoking welding cigarettes sighed as he looked at the snow on the courtyard wall.

"That's right." The farmers in Linjia Village all nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Wu got off the car as usual, settled the baby, and started to make tea to ward off the cold. When traveling in such a cold winter, the first priority is to avoid catching a cold.

With the company of Mrs. Wu, who understood pharmacology, Fang Cuihua and her group felt much more at ease. In addition, Guangdan had bought some medicines for dispelling colds and reducing fever at the pharmacy in the provincial capital early in the morning, in order to ensure their health on the road.

After dinner, everyone retreated to the kang, which was the only warm place in this weather.

"Oh, this winter, I still have to stay at home to keep warm!!" Lin Xiaoniu sighed as he stretched lazily on the warm kang.

"Hehe, then you can go back directly, and my brother and I will go to the county town to sell goods." Guangdan turned his head and joked with a smile.

"Don't even think about it! As long as we can make money, what does it matter if it's a little cold? As long as we don't freeze to death!" Lin Xiaoniu said with full morale.

The children of the Lin family are all afraid of being poor, so for Lin Xiaoniu, as long as there is an opportunity to make money, he will never let it go!

In the early morning, except for Guangdan on the kang, everyone else woke up early, looked at the thick snow in the yard and sighed. The usually lively morning became dull.

Fortunately, the snow stopped, so they had to continue on this road. When setting off, Fang Cuihua repeatedly reminded Uncle Fang and Uncle Chui that they must control the lead car well, as it was not very safe in the snow and cold.

The temperature is getting lower and lower. A few days ago, Lin Xiaoniu was the only one driving the cart, but now he and Guangdan take turns driving. Although Guangdan is young, he has already mastered the driving skills. It is just too cold for Lin Xiaoniu to drive alone.

Besides, ox carts and mule carts are extremely slow nowadays. The mules would even give up after a while and need to rest. So in the whole day, they only walked half a day's distance on normal days.

There was really no way to deal with the road conditions, but in the evening of that day, the convoy encountered a team of yamen runners who were shoveling snow on the official road.

"Which county does this section of official road belong to?" Guangdan, who was only a little way to the inn, asked curiously while pulling the reins.

Lin Xiaoniu in the carriage also stretched his neck to look, but it was pitch black outside the county town and he had no idea about other counties.

When he saw the yamen runners shoveling snow, Hammer immediately stopped his mule cart at a distance, and without saying a word, he went up to them with his small purse in his pocket, stuffed something into the hand of the yamen runner leader, complimented him a few words with a smile, and then came back.

Guangdan saw that the yamen runners who were originally shoveling snow in the middle of the road had retreated to the side of the road, and only started shoveling snow again after their cars had left.

"Money is still the most useful." Guangdan sighed.

"I don't know how much Brother Hammer gave me." Lin Xiaoniu only had money in his mind.

"It's worth it no matter how much we pay. Look, the road here is faster! Besides, if we don't spend some money, those yamen runners will definitely find excuses to embarrass us." Guangdan felt that Uncle Hammer was very sensible in doing things.

"This road is not paved for us." Lin Xiaoniu muttered unhappily.

After all, they all knew in their hearts that in a remote place like theirs, no one would shovel the snow on the official road unless dignitaries were passing by!

"Anyway, we are lucky. If the road ahead is good, we will be able to go home quickly!" Guangdan said with a happy grin.

"It better be!"

The uncle and nephew were whispering all the way and only stopped talking when they got to the inn. Guangdan felt that his mask was soaked from talking all the time and it would probably freeze at night.

As a result, because I talked too much in the cold wind during the day, the cold wind blew into my body, and I had bloating at night and tossed and turned on the kang, unable to sleep.

Mrs. Wu even made a small stove to boil medicine soup for Guangdan. After drinking the warm medicine soup in the middle of the night, he started to fart. Anyway, Guangdan was busy all night.

This also caused Lin Xiaoniu to feel regretful, thinking that he should not talk so much. Then he thought that his nephew's health was not good. Wasn't he talking all the time while driving the car, but he was fine!

When he got up in the morning, Guangdan felt weak and had no energy at all. Fortunately, the next section of the road was easy to walk on. Lin Xiaoniu didn't dare to give the job of driving the cart to Guangdan anymore, so he took it all on himself.

Ever since Guangdan caught a cold due to bloating, the little granddaughter of Mrs. Wu also developed a fever. It is even more worrying when a little baby gets sick, so the people who had previously focused their attention on the road now focus on this little baby who can't even speak.
