As they gradually went deeper into this prosperous yet peaceful land, an inexplicable sense of belonging surged in everyone's heart.

The newly added carriages not only made the team look larger, but also seemed to carry more hopes and dreams. They moved slowly on the winding path, their wheels rolling over the road surface mixed with fallen leaves and mud, making a steady and reassuring sound.

The scenery along the way is like a beautiful painting slowly unfolding. In the distance, the mountains are overlapping and the forests are colorful, as if they are the most proud work of nature.

Occasionally, one or two returning birds fly across the sky, leaving behind a series of clear chirps, adding a bit of liveliness and vitality to this quiet journey.

Liu's mother agreed with their idea of ​​hiring someone to farm: "You definitely need to hire someone to do the work, whether it's farming or other business. Caixia, every time you arrive in a county town, you should sell some of your stored things and accumulate silver little by little for future preparations. You don't have to go to Shanqing County to exchange for silver all at once. It's not good to have too many good things."

"I know, mother. I have sold a lot of the things I have. Some of them can be exchanged for some money, and some of them are of commemorative value. I will keep them. The money I get will be enough for our early life and business. We will make a lot of money in the future."

"kindness……"

All three are full of expectations for the future.

Walking became much lighter.

Liu Xiaolu held Liu Caixia's arm and felt the cheerful atmosphere, and her steps also jumped up and down.

Liu Caixia was swaying along with the shaking.

Every morning I would walk with Liu Caixia, and only when I was tired would I sit on the mule cart to rest.

Following behind them was a mule cart driven by Mrs. Tan. This mule cart was usually used by Liu Caixia and her family, and they usually carried a few children with them.

At this time, sitting on the mule cart were Liu Xiaomei, Fang Chenhao and Luo Junning, two children aged five or six and a three-year-old. The age difference between them was not very big. They had become familiar with each other and often played together.

In addition, Fang Chenhao and Luo Junning are both boys, and Luo Junning especially likes to stick to Fang Chenhao, the little brother.

Fang Chenhao also took good care of Luo Junning, and occasionally secretly took out candies and snacks from his collection to give to Luo Junning.

But he was very well behaved. His sister told him that their secrets should not be told to others casually, and she also told him about the situation in the team. He was already old enough to be sensible, and he remembered a lot of things after his sister told him.

Liu Caiyun walked beside them, always paying attention to the movements of the children on the mule cart, and chatting with them from time to time. The mule cart's bed was very simple, just a normal two-wheeled cart.

There was only a partition at the back, and the three front sides were boards where people could sit directly. There were some things placed on the car, namely quilts and mattresses for the group of people.

On rainy days, the children would ride in the mule cart at the back, which was used to store things and covered with a waterproof cloth to keep out the rain.

The relationship between Liu Xiaomei and Liu Caiyun has made great progress after spending some time together.

Under Liu Caiyun's care, Liu Xiaomei gained a lot of weight and was dressed up neatly by Liu Caiyun.

Her round little face became more and more rosy, and she looked especially cute with two pigtails.

Especially after I had the means, although the clothes I wore were not very gorgeous and expensive, they were clean.

By chance, Liu Xiaomei changed her name to call Liu Caiyun "mother".

Liu Xiaomei rode in a mule cart all the way. Only when they were resting or eating would Liu Caiyun take her down to walk around and exercise.

Even so, a day's exercise is enough.

She also knew how good Liu Caiyun was to her, and she never changed her way of calling her mother. It was also due to her personality. Her parents died when she was very young, and she had to depend on her grandmother for everything, so she developed a timid and shy character.

The moment Liu Xiaomei called Liu Caiyun "mother".

Only then did Liu Caiyun feel that she truly had a daughter, and her future goal was to raise Liu Xiaomei well.

She didn't know what would happen in the future, and this was her only thought at that moment.

At the back of the team was another mule cart driven by Mrs. Zhao. Luo Hong and his wife followed the mule cart. Sometimes when they got tired, they would switch with Mrs. Zhao. He had already learned to drive a mule cart, so there was no need to make himself so tired.

What they are carrying here is basically food.

They had a large population and consumed food quickly, so every time they arrived at a county town, they would stock up on food again.

Even if there is still a lot of food left over and they have not finished eating it, they will buy some to store.

When Liu Caixia and her mother occasionally had free time, they would try to communicate with the local residents and inquire about local customs and habits in their not-so-fluent Mandarin.

By the way, ask about the affairs of this dynasty and understand some of the current situations.

Most of the villagers are simple and warm-hearted, but most of them are farmers and don't know much. Maybe there are a few men in a village who go out and bring back some gossip.

The entire Dayuan country is currently in a state of food shortage, and the county town they just passed through is considered to be in a good situation.

Food prices have gone up a lot again. The Chinese New Year is just half a month away, and food will definitely be more expensive by then. If we have the conditions to store more food now, the pressure will be much less when we settle down later.

Luo Hong and his wife were also chatting idly. After all, the old woman was still there, and they couldn't stray too far from the mule cart, unlike Liu's three men in front who would be much farther away from the ones behind if they walked faster.

Fang Chenxi is now also following Luo Hong and his wife. She and her brother were previously assigned to the same family as Luo Hong and his wife. Qi Xin also treats her like her own grandson and takes care of them.

She is only fourteen years old this year, which is equivalent to a third-year junior high school student in modern times. She used to struggle to survive with her younger brother, just holding on on one breath. Now she has relaxed a lot and has become more talkative.

Finally, Lin Weizhong followed with his newly bought carriage. Before they bought the carriage, he and Lin Keyu followed behind Liu's father and the others. The three Liu Hao brothers were always the last ones to follow.

As night fell, they chose to camp near a village that looked quite lively.

The bonfire was lit, the firelight illuminated everyone's face and dispelled the chill of the night.

Lin Weizhong and several other men walked up to Zhang Hu and listened to Zhang Hu talk about some precautions and essentials of horse riding.

There are also things to be aware of when driving a horse-drawn carriage.
