Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space
Chapter 35 Buying a Donkey Cart
Needless to say, the two dishes were approved by Manager Liu when they were served. Duan Hongyi also told Xiao Wan to bring the recipes and he could make the decision himself. He believed that Xiao Wan would not let him down.
After Xiao Wan finished the handover with Manager Liu, she left with her father to prepare to buy some things needed for the construction the next day.
Xiao Wan thought about the many things she had to bring back and immediately began to worry. She asked her father, "Dad, we can't always hire a cart to bring things back. How about buying a donkey cart? We don't need the money for one. Is that okay, Dad?"
As Xiao Wan thought about it, she felt more and more that she should buy a donkey cart, so she couldn't help but pull her father's sleeve and act like a child.
Ever since Xiao Wan fell down the mountain and recovered, Old Man Xiao has been taking care of all the big and small things in the family. He and Liu are very distressed, especially himself. His daughter earns money to support the family, but he can't help much.
It was rare to see his daughter acting like a little girl, so Old Man Xiao felt so soft-hearted that he nodded and agreed to his daughter's request.
Xiao Wan smiled with her eyes curved. She was used to driving in Hyundai, and she really couldn't handle driving like this every day.
At this time, a carriage passed by. Duan Hongyi sat in the carriage and opened the window, watching Xiao Wan and Xiao's father acting coquettishly. He was mesmerized for a moment. It was the first time he saw her smile so happily and act like a little girl.
When talking about business with her, she acted so serious like a little adult that Duan Hongyi even thought he was talking to an older adult.
He paused, came back to his senses, used his fan to lift the curtain of the car, got out and greeted Xiao Wan.
Sitting next to him was a woman who looked better dressed than the average maid. She looked at her young master curiously and got off the car as well.
When Xiao Wan saw him, her eyes lit up again. The weather was not hot, so why did this guy always appear with a fan? Xiao Wan asked unconsciously.
It's quite pleasing to the eyes.
After hearing Xiao Wan's words, Duan Hongyi's face stiffened unnaturally, the smile on the corner of his lips froze, and he almost sprained his foot when getting out of the car.
Why do I feel a little embarrassed? Doesn't this girl know what it means to see through something but not say it? He is just pretending to be cultured, okay?
Xiao Wan stuck out her tongue when she saw Duan Hongyi's embarrassed expression. Old Man Xiao also pulled his daughter and glared at Xiao Wan in an angry manner.
The woman who got off the car saw her young master talking to a little girl. The girl looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a light green plain dress, with curved eyebrows and a fair face. It was obvious that she had a close relationship with her young master.
The woman couldn't help but reveal a look of jealousy on her face, and she looked at Xiao Wan with an unfriendly attitude.
However, when Xiao Wan saw the woman behind Duan Hongyi, a knowing smile appeared on her face, and she looked at Duan Hongyi with a playful look.
Duan Hongyi coughed a few times to ease his unnatural mood, then bowed and asked, "Uncle Xiao, Miss Xiao, where are you going? I'll give you a ride."
"Boss Duan, we just came out of Yunkelai. We have already taught this month's recipes to Chef Wang, and we are going to buy a donkey cart for transportation." Xiao Wan also replied to Duan Hongyi seriously to avoid further embarrassment.
"Well, it's time to buy a donkey cart. It's convenient for traveling back and forth. Do you and Uncle Xiao understand the characteristics of donkeys?"
Father Xiao shook his head awkwardly, and Xiao Wan also looked confused. Duan Hongyi sighed when he saw this. It was rare to see Xiao Wan being so clueless and cute, so he said, "Let Duan Qing choose from your group. He knows more."
Xiao Wan's eyes lit up and she looked at Duan Qing with a smile, which made Duan Qing feel uncomfortable and pinched the corner of his clothes.
Duan Hongyi's eyes became even deeper. Such a vivid Xiao Wan was particularly attractive.
Duan Hongyi gave the carriage to Xiao Wan, and the woman said indignantly, "Master, what are you going to do?"
When Xiao Wan heard this and saw the woman's unfriendly expression, she repeatedly refused. Duan Hongyi glanced at the woman coldly and said, "Hongdou, step back."
Then he asked Duan Qing to accompany the Xiao family to buy a donkey cart, and he left first.
The woman named Hongdou pulled her handkerchief, glared at Xiao Wan hatefully, then turned around and followed Duan Hongyi.
Xiao Wan felt innocent and was about to refuse, but Duan Qing made a "please" gesture for Xiao Wan and her father to get in the car. Xiao Wan had no choice but to get in the car.
When they arrived at the market at the westernmost end of the town, there were horse-drawn and donkey-drawn carts gathered there. Duan Qing carefully examined the donkeys' eyes, hooves, and fur, and finally picked out a docile adult female donkey. He also bought a cart to harness it, spending a total of fifteen taels of silver.
Xiao Wan secretly fed the donkey some spiritual spring water while no one was paying attention. The female donkey rubbed Xiao Wan's hand even more docilely, which made Duan Qing look surprised.
Duan Qing simply taught some driving skills. After saying goodbye to Duan Qing, Xiao Wan and her father sat on the donkey cart and slowly drove towards Xiao Tie's family.
When Xiao Tiequan saw Xiao Wan and his father coming over, his face showed a complicated expression. He stammered and wanted to speak but didn't know how to open his mouth.
Xiao Wan probably understood, but seeing that Xiao Tiequan didn't say anything, she didn't say anything more. She packed her things and went straight home with her father.
Old Man Xiao patted Xiao Tiequan on the shoulder and said nothing more.
Xiao Tiequan looked at the backs of the Xiao family's father and son, and slowly lowered his head.
