The next morning, Yang Dashan and his family took a bullock cart to the county town. Qingshan Village is close to the county town, but a little far from the town, so most people go to the county town, and the county town has a more complete variety of products.

The brothers and sisters chattered and laughed all the way, while Old Lady Yang and Mrs. Li discussed in a low voice what to buy next. The whole family was having a great time.

When they arrived at the county town, they drove a bullock cart to send the children to the private school. Li said to her daughter, "Xiaocao'er, come to your mother, let's go shopping. See if there is anything that you like, and I will buy it for you."

Xiao Cao hugged Damao's neck tightly: "No, no, go, go."

Damao: "Mom, let my sister come with us. It won't take long to deliver the New Year gifts. How about you wait here and we will come out as soon as possible?"

Just as he finished speaking, a carriage stopped nearby and Mr. Zheng's entourage got out of the carriage.

Da Mao and his friends had been to Master Zheng's courtyard several times and had seen him there. They hurried forward to greet him, "Hello, Uncle Quan."

Uncle Quan saw that the children were polite to a servant like him, so he did not hesitate to return the greeting and asked, "Did you gentlemen have an appointment with our old man today?"

Da Mao: "Yes, I made an appointment with the Master yesterday to visit him today. I wonder if the Master has time to see me."

Uncle Quan: "When there is time, our old man would like to invite a few gentlemen to meet at the mansion. I wonder if you have time to go with us?"

The brothers were stunned after hearing this. They had heard that Master Zheng had returned to the capital to be raised in honor and seemed to have been an official in the past. Why did he ask them to his home for no reason? They were just giving Master a New Year gift like everyone else, so why did they go to his home?

Xiao Caoer said in Mao's arms: "Go, I will."

Yang Dashan also saw that some children had not yet entered the school, so he walked over and asked, "Why haven't you entered yet? The teacher is waiting for you. What's the matter?"

Uncle Quan: "Is this your father?"

Damao came back to his senses and hurriedly introduced: "Yes, this is my father Yang Dashan, Dad, and this is Master Zheng's housekeeper Uncle Quan."

After the two sides exchanged greetings, Uncle Quan said to Yang Dashan, "It would be even better if Brother Yang could go with us."

This time Yang Dashan was confused, "Where are we going?"

Da Mao: "I originally agreed to meet the teacher at the academy, but Uncle Quan said that Master Zheng would meet at the mansion instead."

"But what's the matter?"

Uncle Quan whispered, "Sweet potatoes."

Dashan and his son felt nervous. After a while, Damao said, "Could you trouble Uncle Quan to wait for a moment? My two brothers have also agreed to visit you, so we can't break our promise."

Uncle Quan immediately smiled and said, "Of course, I'll just wait here."

Da Mao turned around and said to Er Mao and San Mao, "We have other things to do later. You two should take the things to the master. Go quickly and come back soon. We will wait for you here."

Ermao and Sanmao agreed and immediately put on their backpacks and went to the private school, while Simao stood obediently beside Li.

Yesterday, when Da Mao and his brothers returned home, Yang Dashan told them about Manager Wu taking away the sweet potatoes. They got the news so soon and they never expected that it was related to Master Zheng.

The Ermao brothers really went and came back quickly, and they came out in less than a quarter of an hour.

Li stretched out her hand and tried to take her daughter from Damao's arms while saying, "We won't go if you have something to do. Xiaocao, come with me."

Little Grass Girl started twisting her hair again, "Go, go, I'll go."

Uncle Quan saw the chubby white baby in Damao's arms and would occasionally glance at him. When he was discovered, he would smile at you with his gums showing.

"It's okay, let's go together. The chef in our house will make some snacks. Let the little kid help us try it then."

As long as Xiaocao wants to do something, there is nothing he can't do at the moment. There was no choice but for the whole family to get on the ox cart and follow Uncle Quan to Zheng's house.

Well, the others rode in the ox cart, Xiaocao struggled to get on the cart, Simao also wanted to follow his sister's pace, and Damao had no choice but to take his younger brother and sister-in-law as the representative of the Yang family and get on Uncle Quan's carriage.

It was the first time for Little Grass Girl to ride in a carriage. She looked around and was curious about everything.

Simao also watched as his sister was picking things up.

Uncle Quan took out a small plate of preserved fruits from a small compartment in the carriage and handed it to Xiao Caoer Simao, "Try to sweeten your mouth."

The brother and sister both looked at their eldest brother, and only when they saw him nod did they reach out and each took a piece.

Simao: Thank you, uncle."

Xiao Caoer also imitated his brother and said, "Thanks, Bobo."

Uncle Quan said kindly, "Be good, eat first and then take more."
