Auntie Xiao had heard her talk about it before, and now she nodded and agreed quickly: "Okay, I also want to see what you are going to do."

Xia Wanniang took out a bamboo toothbrush that she had made in her spare time and placed it on the table: "Make this."

Aunt Xiao picked up the small toothbrush on the table and looked at it from left to right, but she still couldn't figure out what it was used for: "Mrs. Wan, what is this used for?"

Xia Wanniang explained: "This is a toothbrush for cleaning teeth. I also plan to make some toothpaste powder, but I don't have enough materials right now. I need to go to the pharmacy to buy some."

Aunt Xiao looked at it in surprise: "Use it to brush your teeth?"

Xia Wanniang nodded: "I just made this. If I can sell it, I can ask someone to help make it. I have all the materials."

Aunt Xiao looked at it from left to right and said, "It sounds quite interesting, but it will take some time for people to accept it."

Xia Wanniang: "I know, even if someone accepts it all at once, I'm afraid we won't be able to do so much."

Aunt Xiao nodded: "That makes sense, but we can give it a try." At this point she thought for a moment: "It will cost a lot of money to buy medicinal materials, do I have any money left?"

Xia Wanniang: "Mom, don't worry about the money. I can find a way."

Aunt Xiao: "Okay, I'm not worried at all that you are in charge of this family. Go to bed early, and we will go shopping together in the city tomorrow."

Xia Wanniang stood up and walked her out of the courtyard, then went to the three children's rooms and covered them and Lai Fu with quilts.

Lai Fu opened his eyes and looked at it, then curled himself up in his big tail and got into the warm bed.

The next day, the Xiao family prepared to go to the city together.

The expression on Xiao Zimu's face was the same as before, with a stern face, but if you looked closely you could see excitement in his eyes.

Xia Wanniang pinched his little face and said, "If you are happy, then you are happy. Why are you still looking so stern?"

Xiao Zimu turned his head away from her and said, "Who said I was happy? It's not like I haven't been to the city before."

"Really?" Xia Wanniang's voice was drawn out.

Xiao Zisen ran to him and said, "Brother, there are people selling sugar figurines in the city. I heard from Chouhu that if you are lucky, you can even see a circus or opera troupe there. It's really lively."

Xiao Zimu looked at him, his expression could no longer hold back: "Really?"

"Yeah, I heard there are also ones that can breathe fire and spin big vats. They're really interesting." Xiao Zisen described it vividly, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

Xiao Zilin quietly held Xia Wanniang's hand and said, "Mom, can I go to the bookstore to have a look?"

Xia Wanniang looked at the quiet child beside her and said, "Of course, but it will be a little later. Let's go sell some things first."

When Xiao Zilin heard this, he smiled and showed his two rows of teeth: "Okay."

When Xia Wanniang asked Lai Fu to look after the house, she saw his sad eyes: I also want to go to the city to play.

"I'll take you there next time. There are a lot of people in the city recently. If you get caught by accident, I'm afraid you'll lose your life."

Lai Fu took a step back when he heard this: "Then I'll go next time! Remember to buy me something delicious."

Xia Wanniang patted his little head gently: "Okay."

Auntie Xiao followed them. When they walked through the village, the villagers began to greet them: "Auntie Xiao, where are you going?"

She always replied with a smile that she was going to the city to buy New Year's goods.

"That's great. The city should be very busy these days."

Aunt Xiao smiled and asked, "Are you going?"

"No, we'll go in a few days."

Yaya's father Liu Bao saw them and greeted them with a smile: "Auntie Xiao, would you like to take the ox cart? I'm going to the city and I can give you a ride."

Aunt Xiao walked over with a smile: "Thank you very much, it also saves us from walking."

Liu Bao: "Don't be polite, come up quickly."

Xia Wanniang carried the three children onto the ox cart, and then she jumped lightly and sat on the cart herself.

Liu Bao saw that they were seated and drove the ox cart towards the city: "Auntie Xiao, there are many people in the city recently. You have to take good care of the children, otherwise they will be easily captured by beggars."

Aunt Xiao heard something different in his words: "Has something happened in the city recently?"

Liu Bao did not hide it: "I heard recently that some children and women were missing, but I don't know whether it is true or not, and the government did not issue any notice or anything like that."

Aunt Xiao glanced at Xia Wanniang and continued to ask, "Is this news true or false?"

"I guess this is true. Many families are looking for their children everywhere." Liu Bao paused and said, "By the way, Huang Ming is also missing."

"Missing?" Aunt Xiao looked surprised.
