A time-travelling peasant girl becomes a wealthy woman

Chapter 13 First Meeting with Yang Lijun

Aunt Huang Liu just needed to go to town to buy some daily necessities, and unexpectedly ran into Huang Bo's family.

"Yes, Sixth Aunt." Huang Bo replied, "Hui Niang is going to the embroidery shop to exchange handkerchiefs, and she will take the children to the town to have a look and go out for a walk to relax."

The villagers also knew that the little girl in Huang Bo's family had fallen seriously ill some time ago, and Doctor Yan had visited his home several times.

"This family has seven coppers, so it's fourteen coppers for the whole trip."

Aunt Huang smacked her lips, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Aunt Huang Liu is a big mouth, loves to gossip, and loves to take advantage of others. If Uncle Huang Liu was not a brother of Mr. Huang within the fifth degree of kinship, he would not like to associate with her.

"I haven't taken my child out in these years. Qi Lin is already eleven years old. He will soon grow up to be a big boy. It's time for him to go out and see the world."

"There's no point in going out and seeing the world. You'll have to dig for food in the fields anyway. If you see too much of the colorful world outside, I'm afraid you won't be able to return to your roots~"

Huang Bo smiled and said nothing more.

Seeing him like this, Aunt Huang Liu stopped talking, turned around, got in the car, found a seat and sat down.

Huang Bo and his family also got on the car.

After a while, two or three more villagers came over. They greeted each other and got on the car and waited.

The old man pulling the cart is named Huang Youde. People in the village call him Uncle De. He is 57 years old this year and is still in good health. He used to serve in the army.

He was seen walking slowly from a nearby house, holding a pipe in his mouth. He stood in front of the ox cart and paused for a moment before asking, "Bozi? Are you and your family going to the market?"

It just so happened that today was the market day in town, and Huang Bo's family happened to be there.

"No. Hui Niang is going to the embroidery shop in town to hand in and take on some work, and she wants to take the kids for a walk. Uncle De, you said today is a market day? Isn't this a coincidence?"

Uncle De nodded with a smile and said, "It's a coincidence. There's a market in town today. There are a lot of people. You have to keep an eye on the children, especially the little girls. They are so cute that they can easily attract beggars."

Huang Bo nodded repeatedly and hugged his girl tightly.

Although Huang Mulin is only five years old, he has inherited all the advantages of his parents' facial features.

She has fair skin, black and bright watery eyes, a delicate nose and a small mouth, and her thick black hair is tied into two small buns, making her look like a little fairy. This appearance is rare in the countryside, or even in the county town.

Huang Bo deeply agreed with Uncle De’s reminder.

The car slowly drove towards the town. The road was bumpy and Huang Mulin's little butt was a little sore. She was still sitting on Huang Bo's lap!

The scenery along the road is very nice. If you live in a city of steel and concrete for a long time, you will never see such unpolluted mountains and clear waters.

After more than half an hour, we arrived in the town.

When everyone got off the bus, Uncle De reminded them that he would only wait until a quarter past noon, and those who arrived late would not be waited for and would have to walk back by themselves.

Huang Mulin was attracted by the bustling crowd and the dazzling array of stalls. He hugged Huang Bo's neck and kept leaning his head forward.

Huang Bo remembered Uncle De's reminder and held her tightly. Seeing her impatient look, he couldn't help feeling happy.

"First, go and hand in the embroidery work with your mother and get new embroidery work, then we'll go shopping."

Huang Bo held his daughter in his arms and asked his sons to hold each other's hands, repeatedly reminding them not to get separated. If they really got separated, they should go to the town gate to find Uncle De and not wander around.

As for his daughter, he would never let go even if he died.

The family moved slowly with the crowded crowd. Huang Bo let his wife walk in front, and his sons protected their mother on both sides. He stood behind to hold back the crowd that was pushing forward.

It took us nearly quarter of an hour to finally get to the embroidery shop. On market day, there were quite a lot of customers in the shop, and the waiter who was receiving the guests was busy like a top.

The owner of the embroidery shop, Yang Lijun, is a woman in her thirties. She looks as beautiful and dignified as her name. If she hadn't been standing behind the counter, one would have thought she was the wife of some wealthy family.

But no one has ever seen her husband, and some people have tried to inquire about him, but she has dismissed them all.

"Sister Yang, I'm here to hand in my embroidery. Is that convenient?" He Hui Niang stepped forward.

Because Yang Lijun got along well with He Huiniang and liked her serious, down-to-earth and non-calculating personality, she asked He Huiniang to call her Sister Yang. Other employees did not receive such treatment.

"Hui Niang." Yang Lijun looked away from the ledger. "Okay, give it to me. It just so happens that the market is selling fast today."

He Hui Niang immediately took out a neatly folded handkerchief from her bag and handed it to her. Yang Lijun took a quick look at it, paid her, gave her some more cloth, and told her to go back and continue working.

During the conversation, Yang Lijun inadvertently looked up at the door and met Huang Mulin's eyes, which were staring at her with curiosity.

This little girl is so beautiful.

Yang Lijun said secretly.

Huang Mulin made eye contact with her and smiled sweetly at her without avoiding her gaze.

This is my mother's boss, we have to behave well.

"Oh, whose doll is this? It's so adorable." Yang Lijun said, and she stepped out from the counter involuntarily, and soon came to Huang Mulin: "Little girl, are you here to buy something?"

"No, pretty auntie," Huang Mulin replied, "I am here to accompany my mother to make money."

Although Huang Mulin secretly complained that she was an old aunt trying to be cute, she was only five years old, so she still had to behave like a child in public.

"Mother?"

"Sister Yang, it's me." He Hui Niang spoke at the right time.

"Your daughter?" Yang Lijun asked in surprise, "You never told me your daughter was so beautiful!"

After hearing this, He Hui Niang and Huang Mulin felt embarrassed, but the men in the family were so happy that their tails were lifted up.

Yang Lijun didn't care about anyone else and reached out to hug him. Huang Mulin also liked this pretty and dignified woman, so he reached out for Yang Lijun to take her.

"She's really pretty." Yang Lijun had seen a lot of people, and there weren't many girls this pretty in the capital. "What's her name?"

"Aunt, my name is Huang Mulin. Mu from Mu Ze, Lin from Gan Lin."

"Oh, this is amazing. He even knows how to explain the name. Mu Ze Gan Lin, what a good name."

Huang Mulin gave her another big smile.

"Are you taking the children out to the market?"

Looking at the other children, all of them have good looks. Although their facial features are not as stunning as Huang Mulin's, they all have thick eyebrows and big eyes, and their facial features are regular, so they will definitely be good when they grow up.

"Yes." He Hui Niang took over the conversation: "My five children have never been to town since they were born. Today I wanted to send you a handkerchief and take them out at the same time, and it just so happened that we ran into the market."

Yang Lijun held the child for a while, reluctant to let go. She quickly walked to the counter, holding the child in her left hand, and took out a small silver lock from the drawer with her right hand and hung it directly around Huang Mulin's neck.
