Chapter 91: Hiring an Oxcart to Go to Town



The remaining money can be used to make a fake collar for the son and daughter-in-law. If there is any left, it can be used to make a shoe upper for the stone.

Aunt Zhuang had just figured out how to arrange the cloth after receiving the cloth coupons.

As the two were talking, Captain Li Tiejun came back from outside.

Seeing Lin Yizhen sitting in the room, he hurried over and asked, "Lin Zhiqing, what's going on here? Why don't you go and call me back?"

The first sentence was said to Lin Yizhen, and the second sentence was said by Li Tiejun to his wife.

Aunt Zhuang glanced at Lin Yizhen and said, "I was chatting so well with Lin Zhiqing that I forgot! Come over here quickly! Lin Zhiqing has something to tell you. I'm going to the kitchen now."

When Lin Yizhen saw Li Tiejun coming, she quickly stood up and called out, "Captain! Excuse me!"

"Lin Zhiqing, please sit down. Don't be so polite. If you have something to say, just say it directly." Li Tiejun waved his hand at Lin Yizhen and said.

"Yes, it's like this. I've almost finished cleaning up my house. But after entering, I found that there was no water, which was inconvenient. So I wanted to ask the captain to help me find a well-drilling team to dig a well in the yard."

"Dig a well? Yeah, your place is a bit far from the river, so it's really inconvenient to carry water.

How about this! I'll go to the next village tomorrow; they have a well-drilling team there." Li Tiejun said after thinking for a moment.

When Lin Yizhen heard Li Tiejun say he could contact the drilling team, she quickly stood up and thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Captain!"

Li Tiejun said nonchalantly, "It's all a small matter. I'll go ask about it tomorrow and come back to tell you."

After talking about digging a well, Lin Yizhen asked the team leader where to buy a water tank.

When Lin Yizhen learned that they had to go to town, she felt a little headache.

Because it has been cold and snowed recently, old man Li, who drives the ox cart, has not been to the town for several days.

If she went to town to buy a water tank, she would definitely ask Old Man Li for help. She just didn't know if he would be willing to make the trip, after all, the cow was afraid of the cold.

In addition, the road is slippery, and it would be disastrous if the ox cart had an accident on the road.

But I can't not go, the Chinese New Year is only a month away.

She must move into her own house before the Chinese New Year, and she cannot do without a water tank.

After much deliberation, I decided to ask Old Man Li first. If he agreed to go, that would be great; if he didn't, I could find another way myself.

So, after leaving the captain's house, Lin Yizhen went to Old Man Li's house.

However, she was still holding a large cabbage given by Aunt Zhuang.

After finding Old Man Li and asking him, I learned that his ox cart would resume plying in the town from today.

However, it was not him who was driving the car, but his son.

After hearing this, Lin Yizhen made an agreement with Old Man Li directly: rent his ox cart for a day tomorrow, and the cost would be two dollars in total.

When Old Man Li heard such a high price, he agreed on the spot.

Lin Yizhen also paid a deposit of fifty cents on the spot and agreed to go directly to his house the next morning to take a ox cart to the town.

The reason why Lin Yizhen hired Old Man Li’s ox cart for a day.

In addition to buying a water tank, I also want to buy everything I need.

In addition, the Chinese New Year is only a month away, so Lin Yizhen wanted to buy some New Year's goods.

Plus, she had just built a new house and was planning to decorate it, so she had to buy a lot of things, and it would be impossible to transport them back without hiring a car.

After returning home, Lin Yizhen put the cabbage in the kitchen, then lay on the table and began to write down what she wanted to buy.

Things like incense burners, hall paintings, pots, bowls, ladles, basins, brooms, baskets, kerosene lamps, matches and various farm tools all need to be bought.

In short, there are a lot of things to buy.

Although there are many things in her space, all the things in her space are fine products from official kilns, and can even be said to be antiques.

Lin Yizhen didn't dare take them out. If someone found out, it would be no joke.

So, for your own safety, you should spend money to buy one!

After Lin Yizhen listed the things she wanted to buy on the list, she checked around the house to see if she had missed anything.

Lin Yizhen was busy at the new house until dark before returning to Ahua's home.

When I returned to Ahuapo's house, I found that she had just started cooking dinner. Usually, by this time, Ahuapo would have already prepared dinner.

Lin Yizhen didn't ask, she knew something must have delayed him.

Moreover, I noticed that Ahuapo was in a bad mood this morning.

So, it’s better not to ask, so as not to remind Ahua Po of those bad things again.

Lin Yizhen quietly sat behind the kitchen to light the fire, and did not stop until the porridge was cooked.

Then, start clearing the table and getting ready for dinner.

After dinner, Ahua Po put down her bowl without saying a word and went to the main room.

Seeing Ahuapo's increasingly unsteady steps, Lin Yizhen became increasingly worried. She didn't know what had happened to make Ahuapo so sad and worried?

Sigh! I hope Grandma Hua will be more open-minded. Lin Yizhen thought to herself while drinking her porridge.

After dinner, Lin Yizhen cleared the table, washed the dishes, and returned to her room. As usual, she went into her space to take a walk to digest her food, read a book, and then went to sleep.

The next day, I got up early to practice, wash up, and eat breakfast.

Then, he carried the backpack and went to Old Man Li's house to take the ox cart.

The driver was Li Daniu, the son of old man Li. He had heard from his father about this after he came back yesterday, so he had breakfast early this morning and was waiting at home.

Seeing Lin Yizhen coming over, he quickly put out the half-smoked homemade cigarette in his hand and stood up and said, "Lin Zhiqing is here! Have you had breakfast?"
