Qi turned around and happened to see her son chewing maltose with his cheeks puffed up. She thought it was given to him by Liu Yong in the morning, so she said, "Tiedan, why are you eating it again?"

Tiedan looked up at his mother and said vaguely, "Well, my aunt gave it to me."

Ze Ge'er gave it to him? Qi's eyes flashed with surprise. After all, this was not cheap. They had given them a lot before. So she looked at Xia Mo disapprovingly and said, "Ze Ge'er, don't give it to him. We still have what we gave you before."

Xia Mo smiled, "What's the big deal, sister-in-law? I still have some at home." He then picked up the tightly tied paper bag in his hand, "I told Brother Ling before that I wanted to go to the city to see if I could sell these snacks, but he wasn't at home, so I can go and try today."

When Qi heard Xia Mo's plan, she immediately said with certainty: "This is a good idea. The candy you made is fragrant, soft, and very sweet. It will definitely be very popular."

"Yes, yes, auntie, the candies you made are really delicious and will definitely sell well!" Tiedan had just swallowed the maltose when he heard Xia Mo say that this was made to sell, so he looked up at Xia Mo and said seriously.

Xia Mo was immediately delighted when she heard that. She smiled with curved eyebrows and eyes. She lowered her head and looked down at Tiedan and said, "Then I'll accept Tiedan's good words. If it really sells well, then auntie will give you a small red envelope."

"Okay, then auntie, you have to keep your word." Tiedan's face flushed with joy and his eyes sparkled.

After all, his mother would only put a little red envelope under his pillow during the Chinese New Year, so he stretched out his little finger again and wanted to pinky promise with Xia Mo.

Seeing this, Xia Mo also stretched out his finger and took the initiative to hook his little finger, "Make a pinky promise. Don't change for a hundred years."

"Yeah!" Tiedan was satisfied.

Qi, who was unable to get a word in for some reason, silently glanced at their joined hands, with the corners of her eyes slightly raised. Is this a deal?

Just when she was about to tell Tiedan not to mess around, Liu Yong spoke first, holding up a bamboo cage full of wild animals, "Wife, you can also sit on the ox cart. Put this in the back and we can set off."

Qi nodded and walked over, then climbed onto the ox cart and sat next to Tiedan. Liu Yong also put the bamboo cage at the back of the ox cart and tied a hemp rope to the fences on both sides of the ox cart to prevent things from falling backwards due to bumps on the road.

After tying the knot of the hemp rope, Liu Yong walked to the front and untied the rope tied to the tree, then led the cow around and sat in the front from the side.

"Hold on tight, we're leaving." Liu Yong said.

"Sit tight, Dad, let's go!" Tiedan couldn't wait any longer. First, he hadn't been to the city to play for a long time, and second, his aunt was going to do business. As long as his aunt made money, he would have a small red envelope, hehe...

Liu Yong laughed twice, then whipped the whip and the ox cart began to move slowly.

Although it was daybreak, the crescent moon was still hanging in the sky, so they didn't meet many people before they walked out of the village. However, there was smoke rising from almost every house they passed by, and it seemed that they had already gotten up to prepare breakfast.

Because the journey was quite long, Xia Mo told Tiedan some little stories.

Thus, Xia Mo vividly told a wonderful simplified version of Journey to the West, and Tiedan's expression changed after hearing it. Even Qi and Liu Yong, who was sitting in front, looked unsatisfied...

Entering the city again and looking at the gradually prosperous streets, Xia Mo's heart was still extremely excited.

"Aunt, look, there are so many kites over there!" Tiedan was also very excited. He stood up suddenly and pointed to the small stall on the right in front of him, then shouted loudly to Xia Mo.

"Yeah, I saw it, I saw it." Xia Mo quickly raised his hand and grabbed his clothes to prevent him from falling down.

Qi was also quite helpless. After all, her son had a loud voice. His shouting instantly attracted many people's attention. So she awkwardly pulled Tiedan's clothes and said with a fierce face: "Sit down and don't shout."

"Oh, I see." When Tiedan saw his mother like this, he immediately sat down obediently. His voice instantly lowered a lot, but he looked at his mother with some dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Phew, Xia Mo turned his head away and laughed secretly in his heart, does this count as a little man being able to bend and stretch?

Even though Xia Mo tried hard to hold back his laughter, it still stained the corners of his eyes. What he didn't know was that upstairs in the inn ahead, there was a person standing in front of the window, staring at him blankly...
