Chapter 39: Uncle Wang as a Full-time Driver

"Sister Xiaoxiao, you have almost finished buying things! We should go back. It's almost noon." Cui'er reminded her in the end, otherwise she might really miss the ox cart going back.

"Okay, let's go home quickly to call grandpa and the others and go back home." As she said that, she ran.

When they arrived at the door of the Zhu family, they saw their grandfather, eldest brother, Zhu Yun and others just walking out of the door.

"Why are you all out? Are you leaving now?"

"Yes! We saw that you hadn't come back yet, and we were afraid that we would run out of time, so we thought of waiting at the door. We could leave as soon as you came back." The eldest brother replied.

"Hurry, hurry, put all the things in your eldest brother's backpack, and we will go directly to the city gate." Grandpa Liu saw his granddaughter carrying a lot of things in large and small bags, and was worried that it would be inconvenient for her to walk later.

"Dad, don't be anxious. I'll ask Uncle Wang to drive the carriage to take you back later." Zhu Yun reminded her father when she saw that her father was in such a hurry.

Only then did Grandpa Liu remember, yes! The third brother's family had a carriage, but he said: "That's not good, it will take us a long time to go there and back. By then, I'm afraid it will be dark when Lao Wang comes back."

Grandpa Liu is also a person who cares about his reputation and doesn't want to trouble the Zhu family too much.

"That won't happen. Although Kuihua Village is quite a distance away from our Taohua Town, we have a horse-drawn carriage, which is much faster than an ox-drawn carriage!"

"Besides, it's not cost-effective for so many of you to take an ox cart. The money for the ox cart ride can buy half a pound of meat. The horse at home is idle anyway, so why not let it go out for a run to help digest the food." Zhu Yun said indifferently. In fact, she also knew that her father was shy and didn't want to trouble them. If she didn't say this, her father might still not agree.

When Grandpa Liu heard that the money for the carriage ride was enough to buy half a pound of meat, he immediately thought what his daughter-in-law said made sense and agreed immediately.

"Then I'll trouble you, Lao Wang."

Uncle Wang, who had been standing nearby, had already heard their arrangements. When he heard Grandpa Liu's words, he quickly waved his hand and said, "No trouble, no trouble. Wait here for a moment. I'll get a car and come right over."

So when they arrived at the city gate in their carriage, they found that the village's ox cart had just started.

Grandpa Liu immediately stopped Uncle Wang and said to Old Liu, who was driving the cart: "I'm sorry, Old Liu. The third daughter-in-law has arranged a car to take us back. We won't be riding in your ox cart today."

"It's alright, since your daughter-in-law has made such an arrangement, then you can leave quickly. My ox cart moves slowly, so I won't go with you."

"Okay, then you guys take your time." After saying that, he signaled Uncle Wang that he could leave.

The carriage was fast, and we arrived in half an hour. When we got home, Grandma Liu was surprised, "How come it was so fast?"

"Didn't your third daughter-in-law send a car to bring us back?" As he said that, he was about to call Uncle Wang in for some water.

"No, thank you for your kindness, brother. I have to go back quickly before it gets dark," said Uncle Wang as he turned his horse around.

At this time, Liu Xiaoxiao took out two candies from her pocket and handed them to Uncle Wang, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Wang. Take these candies to sweeten your mouth on the way. Be careful on your way. I won't keep you for dinner!"

"Okay, Xiaoxiao, go back quickly. I'm leaving now." Uncle Wang took the candy without any courtesy to Liu Xiaoxiao, said hello to Grandpa Liu, and left.

Liu Xiaoxiao also went home to distribute gifts to everyone.
