Let’s split up if we want to. I have a system, so who should I be afraid of?
Chapter 14: Going to the Market by Oxcart
After dinner, the children cleaned up the dishes.
Su Panpan started boiling water in the back pot. She went to a side room that had been cleaned in the afternoon. The side room was next to the kitchen and there was a water outlet in the corner of the side room, next to the ground.
She got clean clothes for the children and lit an oil lamp. She first helped Yueyue take a bath, and then asked Xiaoxiao and Qin Xiao to take a bath in turn.
When she asked Qin Mu to take a bath, she especially reminded him to pay attention to the wound on his arm.
She went to the two front rooms and spread out some coarse cloth and bedding.
There was only a tattered quilt, which was laid in the left room, and in the right room, a tattered sheet was laid, and then a blanket was covered, and then thick clothes that were not worn were laid on top of the blanket.
The room on the left is for Qin Mu and Qin Xiao, and the room on the right is for Xiaoxiao, Yueyue and her. The three of them squeeze together but don't feel very cold.
"Mom, the house now is not drafty and is much warmer than the previous one. Can we live here forever?" Yueyue asked childishly, leaning against Su Panpan's right shoulder and holding her arm.
"Okay." Su Panpan's voice was full of tenderness.
She turned around and patted Yueyue's back gently. Soon, Yueyue fell asleep sweetly.
Although the children are thin, they all look good after taking a bath and cleaning themselves up.
"Mom, life now feels like a dream." Xiaoxiao on the other end couldn't help but sigh.
"Our lives will be better in the future. Go to bed early and smile. We have to go to the market tomorrow."
Soon, the room was filled with the sound of everyone's deep breathing.
……
Oh oh oh…oh oh oh…oh oh oh…
As the village rooster crowed for the third time, the sky began to brighten.
The first rays of morning light gently shine on the village, and wisps of smoke rise from the chimneys of every household.
The sunlight gradually penetrated the clouds and the village became clear.
The ancient trees, winding village roads, and scattered houses are all shrouded in golden sunlight, and the whole village looks like it is wearing a golden coat.
The hardworking villagers began to get busy, the clinking of farm tools and the bleating of cattle and sheep could be heard one after another.
Dewdrops hung on the tips of leaves, and the air was filled with the fresh scent of earth and grass.
Su Panpan and the children got up early and set off with the cloth.
The house she was supposed to visit was not far from Zhang Fulai's home, only about ten minutes' walk away. She thought it would be much easier if she could ride their ox cart to the market, so she went there early in the morning.
When Zhang's grandfather passed away, he left the Zhang family with a small amount of savings. After Zhang Fuzi's wife gave birth to two sons, he bought two calves for the family.
So the eldest son was named Zhang Daniu and the youngest son was named Zhang Erniu. Later, the two sons grew up, and the two cows also grew up.
Now he makes a living by delivering goods to the workshops and shops in the town every day. Occasionally, if he meets villagers going to the town, he will give them a ride and pay one cent per person.
Therefore, based on seniority, these two cows are the backbone of the family and half of the family's fortune. After all, our livelihood depends on these two guys!
The cooperation has always been very harmonious.
I have the impression that when the original owner was working in the Qin family courtyard, he often saw Zhang Daniu and Zhang Erniu driving two ox carts passing by the door, and would say hello to them.
When the weather is hot, the two brothers will occasionally come in to ask for some water.
Zhao appeared polite on the surface, asking Su Panpan to bring water to the two brothers and asking them to rest for a while. But as soon as they left, she became a different person, fanning herself frantically behind them, her hair flying everywhere, and she rolled her eyes and muttered to herself.
If the two brothers occasionally came back with some leftover fruits from the cart, Zhao, who had just rolled her eyes, would immediately put on a flattering smile: "How can I feel embarrassed? I'm really sorry, it's just a sip of water!" While saying sorry, she took the fruit and put it in her arms.
Finally, he stared at Guozi with shining eyes, and even stood on tiptoe to watch the backs of the two Zhang brothers leaving, not forgetting to raise his voice and add, "Next time you want to drink water, come to the milk!"
After all, such a good deal of getting a few big fruits in exchange for just a few sips of tea cannot be let others take it away.
Therefore, Su Panpan and the two brothers of the Zhang family had met each other several times and had some personal interactions with each other.
Before I knew it, I had arrived at Zhang's house.
Su Panpan asked the child to wait at the door of Zhang's house while she went in to ask.
"Brother Da Niu, Brother Er Niu, are you still loading the goods?" Seeing the two men wearing blue-gray coarse cloth and loading goods onto the ox cart, she greeted them loudly with a smile on her face.
"Oh, yes!" Zhang Daniu heard the voice, raised his head and looked at Su Panpan and the child standing at the door, a simple smile naturally appeared on his face, and asked curiously: "Panpan, are you going to the market too?" As he said that, he pulled the rope to tie up the goods neatly.
Zhang Erniu was loading goods onto another ox cart nearby.
Su Panpan stepped forward to help hold the goods and said, "Yes, the children and I are going to the market. We would like to take your ox cart to the town. I wonder if there is enough space for me, my four children, and some cloth. I want to take it to a tailor to make some clothes for the children."
Zhang Erniu patted his chest cheerfully, his face filled with a warm smile, and said loudly: "No problem, Madam Su, there is room for you to sit down."
Zhang Daniu nodded and agreed with a smile: "We have a lot of goods to transport today, but our ox cart is spacious. We can split it into two and it will be able to accommodate everyone. Don't worry!"
Soon, their cargo was loaded.
Su Panpan held Yueyue in her arms and sat in Zhang Daniu's car, while Xiaoxiao, Qin Xiao and Qin Mu held cloth and sat in Zhang Erniu's car.
"It's quite impressive to ride on this ox cart." It was Su Panpan's first time riding on an ancient means of transportation, and she suddenly felt that it seemed quite interesting.
Zhang Daniu was concentrating on driving the carriage, just smiling innocently. Zhang Erniu took over and said, "For grandeur, it has to be a horse-drawn carriage, and it has to run fast."
"Uncle Erniu, please buy a carriage next time so that we can benefit from it as well." Qin Xiao interrupted in a smart way.
Everyone chatted and laughed as they set off.
When passing by Qin's house on the way, Zhao's sharp, piercing, cursing voice suddenly came.
Listening carefully, he heard someone yelling at Fang and Shen. "You two useless people, all you do is eat for free all day and can't do any housework properly!"
At the same time, the sobbing sounds of Shen from the second house and the children could be heard faintly.
Shen cried and sobbed, "Mother, we do our best to take care of the housework every day and have never been lazy."
The children also cried out, "Grandma, please stop scolding my mother. Please stop."
Inside the house, brothers Qin Youqian and Qin Youwen were also busy, blaming each other and arguing. Qin Youqian shouted, "This is all your fault. You don't help the family enough on weekdays." Qin Youwen was not to be outdone and shot back, "How dare you criticize me? What good things have you done?"
It is estimated that Zhao was unhappy with her two daughters-in-law again. This commotion made the whole family in chaos and unable to live in peace.
