Su Zhiyan saw Lu Yunqi waiting at the door and hurried forward, "Why are you here so early?"

The two agreed to go to town together today. Lu Yunqi knew that they had to leave early, so he waited at the door of the Su family early.

"Let's go. It's still a long way to the next village."

She brought a lot of dried fruits today, and Su He filled most of them in her backpack. She had a little difficulty carrying them.

After greeting Lu Yunqi, he said nothing more, adjusted the shoulder straps of his backpack, and prepared to move forward.

Suddenly she felt the basket on her back become lighter, and she leaned back out of habit.

A deep voice came from my ear: "Put it down, I'll carry the backpack."

Then, before Su He could react, the backpack on his shoulders was put down.

Su He raised her head and saw Lu Yunqi handing a small bag he was carrying to Su He, then he bent down and picked up the backpack.

"Brother Yunqi, no need, I can do it myself."

Su He waved his hands to refuse. He brought a lot of dried fruits today, which was not light, and it would take a long time to walk to the next village.

"Ah He, just let Yunqi carry you. It's okay. You go ahead. We have to go faster."

Su Zhiyan didn't bother to be polite with Lu Yunqi and urged Su He to hurry up and get on with his journey.

Seeing this, Su He had no choice but to hurry on his way. If they were late and couldn't catch up with Uncle Wei's ox cart, they would have to walk all the way to the town, which would really delay today's important event.

Lu Yunqi looked at the girl walking in front of him, his eyes flashed. These days, he also heard Su Zhiyan say that his niece's health has recovered.

And today they went to town to sell some food that Su He made himself.

While walking, you can still smell the faint fragrance wafting from the backpack.

These were things that the Su family sold for money. Lu Yunqi was tactful enough not to lift the gauze on the backpack to see what was inside, nor did he ask any questions.

Su Zhiyan and Lu Yunqi were chatting occasionally at first, but the conversation gradually died down after a while. At this time, there was no one on the small road leading to the next village. It was so quiet that only the panting of a few people on the way could be heard.

When they arrived at the intersection, the situation was the same as last time. Old Man Wei recognized Su Zhiyan and Lu Yunqi and greeted them with a smile.

At this time, Su He was so tired that he was out of breath. He sat on the ox cart, leaned against the backpack and closed his eyes to rest.

After an unknown amount of time, he heard a burst of bustling noise, the ox cart suddenly stopped, and Su He opened his eyes.

"Ah, we're here."

Su Zhiyan lifted their two backpacks and put them aside, then whispered to Su He, "We need to find a good spot quickly."

After saying that, he turned around and saw Lu Yunqi also carrying his bag, "Yunqi, let's meet again when we return to the village."

The three of them said goodbye to each other and went their separate ways.

With the experience from last time, Su He knew the way to the market this time. The two of them, each carrying a backpack, soon arrived at the market.

At this time, many people had come to the market, and it was still bustling with various selling sounds. Su He smiled slightly, looked around, and soon found an empty seat.

He tugged at Su Zhiyan's sleeve, pointed in the direction of the empty seat, and the two of them hurried forward.

Su He and the other man had just put down the backpack and had not yet had time to open the gauze on it.

Suddenly, the scene in front of him became dark. Su He looked up and saw that a lot of people had suddenly gathered in front of them.

Su Zhiyan was slightly stunned. Before he could figure out what was going on, he heard the crowd in front of him start shouting.

"Little girls, you are here."

"It kept us waiting for a while."

Su He blinked, still a little confused.

"Me, you don't recognize me. Last time I bought fruit rolls from you and my daughter loved them."

"That's right, my kid couldn't eat a while ago, but he actually liked the bag of fruit rolls I brought back. His appetite improved after he ate them."

"Little girl, today we're still selling the same fruit rolls from last time. I have to buy a few more packs this time. It's not enough."

After listening to the conversations of the people in front of him, Su He remembered that these people looked familiar and he had indeed bought things from them last time.

When he heard that they still needed to buy fruit rolls, he responded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, let's buy the fruit rolls from last time."

"Give me two packs."

"I want three packs."

"I, I, give me five packs. There are so many people at home, it's not enough."

Su He was quick and agile. She lifted the gauze on the backpack and began to wrap it up skillfully.

Su Zhiyan also came to his senses and took the copper coins handed over by the crowd.

Su He handed over the fruit rolls, lowered his head, and kept moving his hands while wrapping the dried fruits. He explained softly to the people in front of him:

"If you can't finish the fruit rolls you buy on the same day, you can put them in a jar and seal it tightly so they can be kept for a long time."

Now, those who were originally worried about not finishing the food and wasting it and only wanted to buy one or two packs can rest assured. Since they can keep it, they don’t have to worry and can buy more to take home.

It’s not easy to come to the town, and maybe I won’t meet this little girl setting up a stall next time.

After buying their food, the ladies didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, they introduced the fruit rolls to the people who came over to watch the fun.

"Don't tell me, this thing is sour and sweet, it's a good snack, mainly because the kids at home and my grandma like it."

"Of course not. My appetite is really good now. I am pestering you for this treat every day."

"Haha, Miss Ah He, if you don't come today, my kid will probably be angry when I get back."

Many people watching the fun were hesitant at first, but after listening to what a few people said, they bought a few packs.

It's well said, it doesn't hurt to give it a try.

People kept gathering in front of her and Su Zhiyan. Some took two packs, some took five packs. Soon, the basket full of fruit rolls was empty.

Fortunately, they brought more today. Su Zhiyan quickly brought over another backpack, and Su He didn't even bother to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Ten fingers flew quickly, and soon a package was wrapped, which he quickly handed to the person opposite.

They didn't know how long they were busy, but the crowd in front of them gradually dispersed, and only half of the fruit rolls were left in the basket.

"Ah He, sit down and rest for a while. There are not many people here right now. I can do it."

Su Zhiyan took the kettle and handed it to Su He. He was not as tired as Su He in charge of handling the money, but there were too many people and he didn't have time to help.

Su He did not refuse. She was busy for a long time and kept wrapping things. If someone asked her about something, she would explain to them while she was busy wrapping.

At this time, I was really tired and thirsty.

After watching for so long, Su Zhiyan was able to wrap one pretty well himself.

Su He saw that there were not many people and only one person came up from time to time, so he sat aside, drank some water and took a rest.
