A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

"Thank you, sister-in-law. By the way, sister-in-law, has there been any reply from the capital?"

"No wonder you came so early. I thought you were missing your elder brother, but it turns out you came to inquire about the reply from the capital."

After teasing Mo Yan, Sun Miaoyan continued, "Don't worry, I received the reply from the capital several days ago. The letter said that my father couldn't take leave due to work, so it was my mother and my third brother and his wife who came this time. According to the journey, it should take two or three days to reach the capital.

You came back at the right time.

Everyone in the letter was happy that you found the girl you liked. According to my mother's letter, my grandfather and grandmother even ate two big bowls of rice, haha."

Mo Yan smiled and said, "That's good. I'll prepare some things in the next two days before my mother and the others come. I'll also ask my sister-in-law to help me see if it's suitable."

"What's the big deal? Feel free to ask us. The most important thing for our family right now is your marriage. Other things can be put off until later."

"Okay, sister-in-law, I'll go back first. I'll come back in a couple of days when mother and the others arrive."

"Row."

After Mo Yan returned, although he knew that his mother and others would also bring some gifts, he still had to prepare some more.

So for the next two or three days.

Mo Yan took Mo Wen and Mo Qi to visit major rouge shops, jewelry shops, and clothing stores in the city, and bought whatever they found suitable.

Before they knew it, the three of them had bought a lot of things.

Although it was just a marriage proposal at that time, Mo Yan still wanted to give the best to Zhang Yunyue.

And here in Zhangjia Village.

After Mo Yan and the others left.

Zhang Yunyue thought that she had not visited Zhang Xingfeng since she came back, so she discussed it with Zhang's father and mother.

"Father, mother, I haven't been to town to see Xiaofeng since I came back. Xiaofeng and his family are busy with schoolwork now. They have to prepare for the exam in two months, so they don't have time to come back."

Mother Zhang: "Okay, it just so happens that I finished sewing clothes for Xiaofeng yesterday. I was thinking of asking someone who was going to work in town to take them there today, but I got so busy that I forgot about it. So we'll go tomorrow."

"Well, I'll bake some cookies for Xiaofeng and let him take them to the private school to eat with his classmates."

"Sister, I'll grill with you. I also want to go see the third brother with you tomorrow."

Zhang Yunyue always agreed to Xiaoxue's requests lovingly, but she also liked her even more because she knew that Xiaoxue would not make any bad requests.

"Okay, Xiaoxue."

One afternoon, Zhang Yunyue and Zhang Yunxue baked cookies at the old house. The rest of the bread was not made. It was hot now and the bread could not be kept for two days.

After the cookies were baked, they took them back to the next room.

The family wrapped the biscuits into packages with greaseproof paper, which made them convenient to eat and prevented moisture.

Leave a few packets at home, and give the rest to Zhang Xingfeng so that he can share them with his classmates.

The next day.

Because everyone knew that Zhang Xingfeng had to attend classes at a private school during the day, no one went there in the morning.

Instead, I planned to go around 3 p.m., and by the time I arrived in town, Xiaofeng would have finished school.

It was almost Shen time in the afternoon.

Father Zhang harnessed the carriage.

Zhang's mother carried the clothes she had sewn for Zhang Xingfeng, and Zhang Yunyue carried the biscuits she had packed yesterday, five bags in total.

Zhang's mother took Zhang Yunyue and Zhang Yunxue to sit in the carriage.

Zhang's father also sat in the front of the carriage, and then drove the carriage towards the town.

When they arrived in the town, Zhang's father drove the carriage to the back door of the food store.

Zhang Yunyue saw that it was almost time for Xiaofeng Private School to finish school.

"Mother, Xiaofeng's private school is almost over. Why don't we go pick him up there and give him a surprise."

"Okay, his father, then you drive the carriage into the backyard first, and the three of us will go pick up Xiaofeng."

"Okay, you go."

Zhang Yunyue and Zhang Yunxue each held one of Zhang's mother's arms, and the three of them headed towards the private school.

Halfway through the journey, the three of them smelled a fragrance.

Zhang Yunxue: "It smells so good! Sister, what does this smell like?"

Zhang Yunyue shook her head: "I don't know either. I haven't been to this street for a long time. The smell comes from that stall. Mother, let's go and take a look."

"Let's go and take a look. It smells good."

The three of them walked up to the stall.

"My three guests, you can try the fried bean paste cakes I made myself. They are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They are filled with bean paste. Don't worry, they are absolutely delicious. They are the only ones in town."

Zhang Yunyue watched the girl in front of the stall skillfully taking out a ball of glutinous rice from the basin, wrapping it with red bean paste, and then pressing it into a cake and placing it in the oil pan beside her. In front of the oil pan was a boy of about fourteen or fifteen years old, flipping the cake inside with long chopsticks.

Zhang Yunyue: "Boss, I want ten. Please help me pack them."

The girl at the stall immediately looked up at Zhang Yunyue and said with a smile, "Okay, wait a moment, girl. We still need four more. I'll fry them for you right away. Wait a moment."

"It's okay, we're not in a hurry."

Only then did Zhang Yunyue take a closer look at the girl in front of her. Her hair was tied on the side, braided into a pigtail, hanging to the side.

The girl in front of him looked clean and elegant.

Looking at the girl in front of him, Zhang Yunyue always felt a sense of familiarity, but he believed that he had never seen her before.

While Zhang Yunyue was still thinking, his thoughts were interrupted by the girl.

"Girl, your bean paste pancake is ready. It's delicious. Welcome to come again next time."

Zhang Yunyue smiled and said, "Okay, by the way, young lady, how much are these in total?"

"Five cents each, fifty cents in total."

Zhang Yunyue gave the money to the boy who was frying red bean paste cakes next to him, and then the three of them left.

Mother Zhang held the cake in her hand.

Zhang Yunyue and Zhang Yunxue each took a cake and started eating.

"It's delicious. It's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Sister, it's delicious."

"Yeah, I think it's delicious too."

The two of them ate bite by bite like this, and as soon as they arrived at the private school entrance, they finished the cakes in their hands.

Zhang Yunxue: "Sister, can I have another one later? This one is so delicious. I want to have another one."

"Okay, I bought exactly ten, one for each family member, and there's exactly one left, so I'll give this last one to you."

"Oh, so that's it. Then, sister, let's take the last one and each take half. This way, when mother and the others are eating, we can also eat with them."

Zhang Yunyue rubbed Zhang Yunxue's hair: "Okay, our Xiaoxue is really smart."

At this moment, more and more people are waiting to pick up their children at the private school gate.

The three of them didn't have to wait long before the door of the private school opened.

The students inside came out one after another.

The three of them stood aside, looking for Zhang Xingfeng among the crowd.
