Poor little thing is eating melons and watching the drama in the period literature
Chapter 98: Someone from the Cowshed
No matter whether it is an NPC or not, as long as ginseng works, it’s fine.
Yu Qingxu said, "Have you agreed on the price? Let's write a letter and you can mail it back tomorrow when you go to work."
"There were only two children at the time, so we had to talk to their parents about the price."
Jiang Yuanyuan's grandmother is a nice person, but her mother is a little unreasonable. What if she insists on accusing her of lying to the child?
"Anyway, it should be more expensive than the one you bought last time."
Yu Qingtang thought for a moment and said, "If I report too much, I will definitely encounter good ginseng in the future."
“…You don’t have to buy so much.”

Along with the family’s money came an ox cart pulling people.
"Cheng Bo, who are you pulling?"
A child passed by and saw the stranger in the cart and curiously asked Cheng Bo who was driving the ox cart.
Cheng Bo waved the whip in his hand and chased the child away: "Go away, don't block the road."
He drove all the way to the cowshed, where the captain was already waiting.
An old man who looked to be in his sixties or seventies and a middle-aged couple in their thirties or forties got off the ox cart.
Cheng Bo dismantled the ox cart and led the ox back to the cowshed. When he came out, he passed by Xiao Zijing who was lying on the door panel and peeking, and raised his hand to touch his head.
"Eat it." A piece of fruit candy.
Xiao Zijing looked up and smiled at him.
"Thank you, Grandpa Cheng."
The team leader arranged the people into the cowshed and said a few words of encouragement: "The organization asked you to come here to reflect on your mistakes. Our team doesn't like to do those nonsense things. Just listen to the instructions and work hard, and we won't make things difficult for you."
Su Xuenong, leaning on a crutch, struggled to carry his luggage into the cowshed. The man from the middle-aged couple came forward to help him, and he whispered a word of thanks.
The captain looked at his slightly staggering steps, shook his head slightly, sighed, and turned back.
The living quarters in the cowshed were like a large dormitory, and they used bamboo frames to separate the rooms into individual rooms for each family.
Xiao Zijing pointed to the empty rooms and said, "No one lives in these rooms."
Lin You and Chu Jiahui didn't expect to see such a young child in the cowshed, and they felt sad for a moment.
“Xiao Xiao!”
When Grandpa Xiao received the news, he hurried back as fast as he could.
Many of the people who were sent to the bullpen were wrongly accused, but many of them were indeed bad elements.
He hadn't gotten to know the three new people well yet, and he was worried about leaving Xiao Xiao alone with them.
When Xiao Zijing heard his grandfather's voice, he ran out immediately.
"Grandpa, the captain and Grandpa Cheng sent three people here, and I'm letting them choose their rooms."
Grandpa Xiao touched his little head and praised: "Xiaoxiao is awesome!"
"My name is Xiao Fengping. I used to be a teacher. This is my grandson. His full name is Xiao Zijing and his nickname is Xiao Xiao."
Seeing that his attitude was okay, the three newcomers introduced themselves.
"My name is Su Xuenong, and I used to be a teacher." Su Xuenong, who looked to be in his 70s, introduced himself first.
In fact, he is only 66 years old this year.
He was originally in good health, but was locked up in a small dark room and tortured. Although one of his legs was not disabled, it was almost the same.
At this time, he could hardly stand, so Grandpa Xiao quickly stepped forward and helped him sit on the bench.
"Brother, let's sit down and talk. You guys sit down too."
The middle-aged couple sat down and the man introduced himself: "My name is Lin You, and this is my wife Chu Jiahui."
He touched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "I used to work in an office, and I would write some articles when I had free time. My wife used to teach in a middle school, but later she was in poor health and stayed at home to recuperate."
He looks very honest, but I didn't expect that he can actually write articles.
They were all wanderers in the world, and Grandpa Xiao was not interested in exploring what kind of articles he had written in the past that led to him being demoted.
"Xiao Xiao, pour a glass of water for grandpa and the uncles and aunts."
There was only one kettle with boiling water in the cowshed, and two military kettles filled with boiled water.
The environment in the cowshed was not good to begin with, so Ji Baishu asked them to clean it every day. He also tried his best to ask them to drink boiled water.
Xiao Zijing couldn't lift the kettle, so he could only pour them boiled water.
Chu Jiahui saw Xiao Zijing take out three clean porcelain bowls from the cupboard and wanted to go forward to help.
Lin You asked her to sit still: "I'll do it. You're not in good health and you've been sitting on the ox cart for so long. Sit down and rest for a while."
The arrival of people in the cowshed was not a big deal that caused a stir in the team, so the three of them stayed in the cowshed quietly.
The members of the three-person team, who were originally full of anxiety, ignored them and no one came to throw stones, criticize or insult them, so they all felt a little relaxed.
Fortunately, they were lucky and were sent down here.

Yu Qingxu withdrew money from the post office in town and went to Jiang Yuanyuan's house with his wallet.
Jiang Yuanyuan's family only has her, her grandmother, and Bai Yishu who has a disability.
Grandma Jiang’s surname is Zhou, so we’ll call her Ms. Zhou here.
Zhou had been waiting for them at home. Many roots of the ginseng had been dug up, but it was old and in good condition. Ji Baizhu set the price at 700 yuan.
Although Jiang Yuanyuan would often encounter wild animals offering themselves to her when she went up the mountain, she could also always find some precious mushrooms, wild vegetables and fruits that others could not find.
But all these sales only made a small amount of money, and this was the first time I made such a big deal.
"Here I am, come in quickly."
They led the two people into the room, closed the door tightly, and then thoughtfully poured a bowl of brown sugar water for them.
At the same time, she did not forget to pour brown sugar water for the two children watching. Jiang Yuanyuan held the bowl and drank it up.
Bai Yishu thanked him politely before drinking.
After Jiang Yuanyuan finished drinking, she ran to Yu Qingtang. Yu Qingtang thought she wanted to drink more, so he handed her his bowl.
Zhou frowned and said, "Yuanyuan, you've already eaten two candies today. You can't drink sugar water anymore, or your teeth will get worms."
Jiang Yuanyuan shook her head: "Yuanyuan doesn't want to drink sugar water."
"Yuanyuan likes Sister Yu."
Yu Qingtang had always been very popular among children. Her nephews and nieces all liked to stay around him when they were young.
I didn't expect that this physique was still there after traveling through time, and it actually charmed the little Fuwa.
"It's okay, Grandma Zhou, just let her sit next to me."
"We have brought the money, please check it."
Yu Qingxu took out a stack of RMB from his bag, including 100-yuan notes, 50-yuan notes and 20-yuan notes. He sorted out 700 yuan and gave it to Zhou, asking her to count it.
Zhou was not polite and carefully counted the money in front of them before taking out a wooden box and handing it to them.
Yu Qingxu opened the box and pretended to take a look.
How could he understand ginseng, so he signaled Yu Qingtang with his eyes to take a look too.
Yu Qingtang nodded as soon as he saw that it was the same one as before.
The stuff was prepared by Ji Baishu, and she trusted Ji Baishu's character.
After the transaction was completed, the two were about to leave, and Jiang Yuanyuan followed Yu Qingtang out.
