Traveling through ancient times to get rid of poverty, the whole network sends me express delivery

Shen Wanning took a pleasant shower, came out of the express station, and fell into a sound sleep.

Before daybreak, Xu woke up Shen Wanning.

"Wan Ning, didn't you say yesterday that you and your third brother were going to the county to sell ginseng? You have to get up early, otherwise you won't be able to catch the oxcart going to town."

She was so excited about setting up the express station last night that she accidentally stayed up past midnight before going to bed. Now it was not even five o'clock and Xu woke her up.

Shen Wanning was dazed, but still got dressed.

Xu was about to get up to cook, but Shen Wanning pushed her down and continued to sleep.

"Sister-in-law, you don't have to get up so early to cook. My third brother and I can just have something to eat when we get to town."

Xu couldn't persuade her, so she had to lie down and continue to sleep.

The morning breeze was a bit chilly, and Shen Wanning just opened the door and shivered from the cold.

Aunt Zhang was already up, boiling water in the kitchen. She wouldn't normally get up this early, but she probably knew they were going to town and woke up so early today.

Lin Jingyou had finished washing up and was standing in the yard reciting a book.

"Mom, why did you get up so early today? Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Shen Wanning walked into the kitchen and saw Aunt Zhang had already put the pancakes on the pan.

"Oh, aren't we going to the county? Mother has been thinking about it, but she's still a little worried. Since I can't sleep, I might as well get up and make breakfast for you two. Take two of these pancakes each and eat them on the way."

Aunt Zhang scooped another spoonful of water from the inner pot and poured it into the basin. "Go and wash up quickly, the water will be cold soon. When you're done, take the cakes and ginseng and leave. The third child has already washed up and is waiting for you!"

Shen Wanning quickly finished washing up, and Lin Jingyou was waiting for her at the gate of the yard with four pancakes wrapped in oil paper in his hand.

"Hey, where's the ginseng?" Shen Wanning looked up and down but didn't see any ginseng.

Lin Jingyou's tone was filled with a hint of helplessness. "Mother said that ginseng is too valuable, and she was afraid that others would have bad thoughts if they saw it, so she stuffed it into my arms."

After saying this, he turned his back, revealing the bamboo basket behind him. "Then we'll say we're going to town to buy you some cloth to make clothes, and we'll also buy some old grain."

In the past, when I saw Lin Jingyou, he was always wearing a long gown and looked like a noble young man. But now, with a bamboo basket on his back, he looks like an ordinary man.

"Okay, let's go now! Mom said that we can see Tieniu's ox cart when we go to the village entrance. We will take the ox cart there, and it will cost two cents per person." Shen Wanning took out a bag of copper coins and shook it in front of Lin Jingyou.

These copper coins were just given to her by Aunt Zhang. They should be the few remaining coins in the house. She counted them and found that there were exactly 200 copper coins in it!

Although Aunt Zhang looked at the copper coins with reluctance, she still told her not to save them and to buy whatever she needed. This touched her deeply.

The morning light was dim and the fog lingering in the air had not yet dissipated. The two walked towards the village entrance side by side, without saying a word.

"Sister Wan Ning, are you hungry? Do you want to eat two pancakes first?" Lin Jingyou suddenly spoke, breaking the awkward silence.

"Then let me eat something!" Shen Wanning also felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, and didn't know what to say.

Lin Jingyou opened the oil paper, handed her a piece of pancake, and took a piece of pancake to eat himself.

"Drink some water. Eating biscuits dry is a bit choking." Lin Jingyou took off the kettle from his waist, unscrewed the lid, and handed it to Shen Wanning.

After Shen Wanning finished drinking the water, he did not dislike it. Instead of drinking directly from the pot, he poured it into his mouth.

Shen Wanning was a little surprised to see such a gentleman doing this, and she couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

Just as they reached the village entrance, Shen Wanning had finished the pancake in her hand. Lin Jingyou took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to her.

Shen Wanning was wiping her hands when Tie Niu drove a bullock cart towards them from afar.

After Shen Wanning finished wiping her hands, Lin Jingyou took the handkerchief and wiped his own hands.

Knowing that Shen Wanning didn't know Tie Niu, he took the initiative to walk up and talk to her, "Tie Niu, the two of us are going to town. Do you want to leave now with your ox cart, or wait for the others?"

Tie Niu glanced at him and Shen Wanning and sighed, "Hey, let's go now! At this time, every household is watching their money tightly, so who would be willing to spend money on a bus? It's been half a month, and you two and our family are the only ones who take the bus."

Tieniu is the eldest son of the village head and the only family in the village that has cows.

When the land needed to be plowed, the headman would rent out cows to the villagers to plow the land. On weekdays, Tie Niu would drive an ox cart to take people to the town to earn some money for travel expenses.

It takes more than half an hour to walk to the town, but less than half an hour to take an oxcart. In the past, most people would still choose to take a oxcart for four cents round trip.

But nowadays, there are no jobs to be found, crops have no harvest, and it is hard to make money outside. Basically, few people are willing to spend money on taking the bus.

"Okay, let's go!" Lin Jingyou took out four cents from somewhere and handed them to Tie Niu.

He took out the handkerchief again and wiped the cart before helping Shen Wanning sit on it.

"Hold on tight, we're leaving now!" Tie Niu said, driving the car and preparing to leave.

"Third Brother Lin, wait, wait for me!" A sweet voice came through the mist.

Tie Niu had no choice but to stop the car and wait.

After waiting for a while, a young girl emerged from the mist. She was wearing a long pink floral gown and a light green pleated skirt. This was the first time Shen Wanning had seen her dressed like this in Daqing Village.

All the women she had seen before, whether married or unmarried, basically wore coarse linen shirts and mostly trousers.

The woman stopped in front of the car, bent over and panted, "Third Brother Lin, wait for me, I want to go to town too."

"It's Xiuqin! Why are you dressed so beautifully today? Are you going to visit relatives in town?" Tie Niu took the two cents from Xiuqin and asked with a silly smile.

Fang Xiuqin said in a coquettish voice, "Brother Tieniu, what are you talking about? This is just an ordinary set of clothes. Why can't you wear it only when visiting relatives?"

After saying that, Fang Xiuqin pushed Shen Wanning aside, forcibly separating her from Lin Jingyou. As she got into the car, she rolled her eyes at Shen Wanning.

Shen Wanning rolled her eyes, confused. What were they pushing for?

"Is Third Brother Lin going to town too? What a coincidence! I'm going to town too! I wonder what Third Brother Lin is going to buy?" Fang Xiuqin just sat down, turned her head towards Lin Jingyou, and asked in a coquettish voice.

"Tie Niu, wait!" Lin Jingyou shouted, got out of the car and sat next to Shen Wanning. "Okay, Tie Niu, we're seated, we can go!"

Fang Xiuqin glared at Shen Wanning fiercely, gritting her teeth and smiling for dear life, "This must be Third Brother Lin's sister, Sister Wanning! I've heard of Sister Wanning's name a long time ago, but this is the first time I've seen her!"
