Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

Zhao Ze was criticized by his mother as worthless and threw his chopsticks in anger.

"I won't eat anymore. I'm already pissed off by you!"

"If you don't want to eat, then don't eat. You are such a rascal. If possible, I really hope Xiaolian can be exchanged with you and become ours."

After Zhao Ze threw his chopsticks, he went back to the house angrily. He didn't know whether he was angry at his mother for criticizing him or for something else.

Shi Yan, who lived next door, heard everything about the lawsuit between the Zhao mother and son.

She knew that Aunt Liu liked her very much, but she didn't expect it to this extent. All in all, she had only been in this world for half a month, and after only half a month of getting along, Aunt Liu was willing to open up her heart to her. Shi Yan was both moved and a little ashamed.

She approached the Zhao family with a purpose in mind, and the only thing she could do now was to treat the Zhao family with kindness.

Shi Yan had already used the 5 yuan she got when the family split up to buy medicine and to bury Liang Zhi. Now that she had the ginseng, Shi Yan didn't plan to keep it for long, lest anyone would miss it. She planned to go to the town early the next morning to sell the ginseng for some money and buy some other things.

So she made sure that the Zhao family next door had finished their meal before she knocked on the Zhao family’s door.

Shi Yan didn't wait at the door for long before Liu Cuiping came to open the door. When she saw it was Shi Yan, Liu Cuiping was very happy and her lips curled up.

"Aunt, I have something to ask you. It's not convenient for me to come to your house, so let's talk at the door."

Liu Cuimiao really wanted to invite someone to come in and sit for a while and chat about family matters, but when Shi Yan said she didn't want to come in, she swallowed the invitation.

"Aunt, I want to take the ginseng I dug today to the city tomorrow to exchange for some household expenses, but I am not familiar with the way to the city. I want to ask if there is a bullock cart in the village that can take me there. If you need to give me some hard work money, I will make it up after I sell the ginseng."

"Oh, I thought it was a big deal! Isn't it just an ox cart? There is no need for any labor fee. Now the cows, pigs, and sheep, after the establishment of the commune, all these things belong to the village. As long as it is not the busy farming season, you can borrow an ox to pull the ox cart for free. Just prepare enough fodder for the ox to eat for three days. Borrow and return on the same day, and no one will gossip."

"Auntie, can I borrow it for half a day tomorrow? Also, I don't know how to drive a bullock cart. Can you help me ask who is free and willing to give me a ride?"

Liu Cuimiao: "This is easy. Although this cow belongs to the village, it is raised at Shuanzi's house at the end of the village. Shuanzi's grandfather is in charge of raising it, and he also gets work points. Shuanzi of his family doesn't work in the fields. I'll ask your brother Ze to talk to Shuanzi, and he promises to send you back and forth obediently. Your brother Ze may not be good at other things, but the few guys in the village who like to fool around with him all listen to him."

Liu Cuimiao really spoke like a mother, and her tone did not conceal her disdain for her son's idle behavior.

"Aunt, then I'd like to trouble Brother Ze to come over and help me with this matter today. I'll buy all the missing items at home tomorrow, and then find time to cook for you and invite your family to come over to my place to have some fun. Now it's getting dark, so I'll go home first."

"Okay, okay, okay. I'm not shy about that. I'm just waiting to taste your cooking skills."

After Shi Yan returned to her own courtyard, she immediately boiled water to wash up. Because the supernatural power that was spread around the courtyard had not been taken back yet, Shi Yan could still hear the voice of Aunt Liu next door calling Zhao Ze to go out and find someone while lying in bed.

Then there was the man's low reply and the door to the next yard was opened. The sound of footsteps gradually faded away. Shi Yan retracted her supernatural power, closed her eyes, and fell asleep in a second.

The next morning, Shi Yan picked out the best piece of clothing she had altered. It was a dark blue long dress with floral patterns. The collar, cuffs and hem were all ruffled, adding a touch of playfulness to the ordinary floral dress. Shi Yan happened to be still thin, and wearing such a dress injected some vitality into her rather delicate temperament.

After tidying herself up and picking up the small basket containing ginseng, Shi Yan opened the gate in a good mood and prepared to go look for someone. As soon as the door opened a crack, a force pushed against the gate from the outside. Shi Yan let go of the door and took a step back. The gate in front of her was pushed open little by little as if in slow motion, and then a bull's head stretched out in.

"Mou~"

The bull head that came in made a cry and then snorted. It seemed that it was very interested in the courtyard and wanted to stretch its head further in. However, halfway through, it was suddenly pulled back outside the door as if by something.

Shi Yan waited for a while, and made sure that the cow had no intention of coming in again, then she opened the gate completely from the inside, and the man and the cow outside the yard were exposed to Shi Yan's eyes.

"Sister-in-law, Shuanzi has diarrhea today. I'll take you to the city."

"Okay, I'll trouble you."

Shi Yan held Zhao Ze's arm and climbed onto the ox cart carefully. Before he even sat firmly, Zhao Ze felt as if he was scalded. He withdrew his arm that Shi Yan had supported, and Shi Yan, who was not sitting firmly, almost fell off the cart again.

"Sister-in-law, I didn't notice that you weren't sitting properly. Hold on tight now. It will take us about half an hour to get into the city. If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me."

Zhao Ze saw the little girl, who had finally regained some vitality, turned pale with fright because of his carelessness. He was filled with regret at the moment.

He didn't dare to move rashly. He watched the little girl nod to show that she was sitting firmly before he raised the whip to urge the old ox to move.

Taohua Village is just a small village with a small population and not many fields. There is no money to repair the road from the village to the town, so Shi Yan had to endure the bumpy ride for half an hour. When she was finally able to get off the car, her whole body was numb and her feet felt like they were stepping on cotton.

"Sister-in-law, please wait for me here. I'll leave the ox cart with a friend and will be back soon."

"it is good."

After getting Shi Yan's affirmative answer, Zhao Ze did not delay and drove the ox cart hurriedly to the alley not far away.

Zhao Ze's friend was someone he met on the black market. Usually, they hung out in the mountains all day long. Whenever they caught game, they would eat part of it and sell the rest to this friend.

This friend of mine is also a man with connections. In today's country where state-owned enterprises are everywhere, he secretly opened a private restaurant. Relying on the skills left by his ancestors who were royal chefs, he specializes in serving wealthy people. Not only is the work not tiring, he also earns much more than the chefs in state-owned restaurants.

Zhao Ze walked to the back door of a large courtyard deep in the alley with ease. He knocked on the door three times in a row. The door creaked open from the inside. Zhao Ze did not speak to the person inside. He handed the rope of the ox cart to the person who opened the door and hurried back.
