Chapter 108 99 Tips for Driving a Sled

The next day, early in the morning, Master Liu came to pick them up on a sled.

Mingdai brought all the mushrooms she had collected in the past few days, a total of 150 kilograms, filling three baskets.

After securing it, Mingdai got in the car.

However, Zhou Sinian did not sit next to her as usual. Instead, he went around the back of the sled and sat next to Mr. Liu Sanye.

Master Liu:!!!!!!

He stiffened his body, slowly turned his head, and looked at Mingdai for help.

He was just slapped by a lunatic, he is scared!!

Ming Dai was also surprised: "Zhou Sinian, what are you doing sitting there? Come back quickly, we are about to set off."

Zhou Sinian looked at the horse's buttocks excitedly, and the horse's legs trembled and its buttocks shook continuously.

"I'm going to sit here. I can see clearly."

"Why are you looking at the horse's butt? You shaved all the hair off."

Horse: Please, don't Q me!

Zhou Sinian looked at the reins in Mr. Liu's hand and said excitedly, "Mingdai, I'm going to learn to ride a sled. I'll take you with me when I learn it."

Only then did Mingdai realize that he wanted to learn sledding from Mr. Liu Sanye.

That's fine. If there really is a dog, playing sledding on the snow and ice would be much more interesting than watching lambs fighting at home!

"Okay, but you can't hit Third Master. Third Master still has to teach you."

Mr. Liu smiled gratefully at Mingdai, his two gaps between teeth clearly visible.

Zhou Sinian had no choice but to turn around and looked at Mr. Liu impatiently: "I won't hit you."

Master Liu breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to raise the whip, he heard someone say, "I'll beat you again if you can't learn."

“Bang!”

His hand shook and the whip hit his leg, but luckily the wound was thick.

Then, along the way, Mingdai heard Mr. Liu San gritted his leaky front teeth and kept instilling ninety-nine little tricks of driving a sled into Zhou Sinian.

Zhou Sinian was patient, which was rare. Even though Mingdai had difficulty listening to what Mr. Liu San said, he did not get angry and continued to learn patiently.

After passing the commune and speeding towards the county town, there was almost no one on the road. Occasionally there would be a car returning, also with a horse-drawn sleigh, and it went very fast.

Zhou Sinian interrupted Master Liu, who was still chattering about how to avoid obstacles, and stretched out his hand to him.

"Give it to me."

Mr. Liu Sanye obeyed subconsciously, and by the time he reacted, the reins were already in Zhou Sinian's hands.

Master Liu:!!!!!!

Ming Dai: ???? ??? !! What are you doing to him!!

Master Liu: I said I don’t know, do you believe me? ! !

Zhou Sinian had no idea how devastated the two of them were. He raised the whip and hit the horse's butt.

With a neigh, the horse spread its legs and rushed forward, taking the sled with it.

Mingdai leaned back and clung to the vegetable basket tightly.

Liu Sanye hugged the front of the car, trembling and muttering softly: "My mother, she won't survive this time. Liu Dazhu must remember that I don't want to be buried next to my father. My father hurts when he hits people, and it must hurt when he hits ghosts!!!"

Zhou Sinian was extremely excited. He thought the horse was not running fast enough, so he whipped the horse's butt again.

The surrounding scenery flashed by quickly, and Mingdai and the others soon caught up with the sled in front of them.

The sled shoveled past at high speed, stirring up a cloud of flying snow.

"Pah, pah, pah! Who the hell is that? How can you rush the sled like that!!!"

Mingdai and the others could not hear the cursing behind them at all, all they could hear was the whistling sound of the wind.

When they were about to enter the county town, Zhou Sinian's speed finally slowed down and gradually became stable.

He turned around with a lingering feeling and looked at Mingdai with shining eyes: "Mingdai! I'll play with you when we go back!"

Mingdai lifted her hair from her face and said to him seriously, "No!"

Zhou Sinian was unhappy: "I ride very well!"

Mingdai checked the vegetable basket and the things they brought. Fortunately, she put a lot of newspapers in it, so the vegetables were not damaged.

"That's not called riding a sled, that's called driving a sled! Hurry up and give the reins back to Third Master! Look how scared he is, his face has turned pale!"

Zhou Sinian pursed his lips and glared at Master Liu San. Seeing him shrink his neck in fear, he passed the reins to him.

When they arrived at the back door of the county government, Mingdai held a basket and Zhou Sinian carried two, and they walked in together.

On the way, Zhou Sinian was still fighting for the right to drive the sled back: "Mingdai, I'm faster than him."

Ming Dai rolled her eyes at him and said, "It's too fast, it's dangerous. We still need to take our stuff back. What if it gets damaged?"

Zhou Sinian sighed: "Okay, then I'll go slower, but it won't be fun if I go slower."

Ming Dai comforted him: "When we get back, we can play dog ​​sledding. You can go faster."

Dogs can't run as fast as horses, right?

Right?

Zhou Sinian was happy then, carrying the basket and following her into the kitchen.

Give the mushrooms to Chef Zhou and explain clearly that there won't be so many mushrooms in the future.

Chef Zhou also understood that the quantity delivered this time was enough for them to consume for a while. After all, this thing was really expensive, so he asked them to deliver it again before the holiday.

This is the best way. Mingdai takes the note approved by Chef Zhou to collect the money.

The two of them came out of the back door of the county government with smiles on their faces and found Mr. Liu San who was watching the car.

"Third Master, let's go to the county train station!"

Master Liu Sanye breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhou Sinian did not come over to sit on the horse this time. He responded happily, cracked the whip, and the horse started to run.

When they arrived at the county train station, Mingdai asked Mr. Liu San to wait outside while she and Zhou Sinian carried the sacks in.

After waiting inside for a while, a train came into the station with a rumble, spewing black smoke.

The two stood aside and waited for everyone to leave before walking to the receiving area.

A man in work clothes was waiting.

Ming Dai brought Zhou Sinian forward: "Is it Uncle Sun?"

The middle-aged man looked up: "I am, you are Ming Dai?"

He deliberately took a closer look at the tall Zhou Sinian, his eyes scanning his red headscarf several times.

Ming Dai smiled and nodded: "Uncle Sun, thank you for your help."

The grandson waved his hands and said, "What's the trouble? We are your relatives. Come with me."

He brought the two men to the unloading area, and behind the cover of the cargo boxes, they saw two sacks on the ground.

Looking at the things Mingdai and Dai were carrying, he smiled happily, as he also had a share in them.

The two of them didn't say much, just exchanged the things, and the old grandson took out another envelope and gave it to Mingdai.

"Okay, you guys go ahead. There are too many people around. I'll find someone to move this up there later. Your Aunt Niu will send you a letter after you get there."

Mingdai nodded happily and pointed to a basket she had specially taken out. The things inside were covered with a piece of cloth.

"Uncle Sun, this is my New Year gift for Aunt Niu. Please take it with you so I don't have to send it again."

The old man nodded: "Okay, no problem."

"Then we'll leave first!"

The two men said goodbye. Zhou Sinian carried one sack on his shoulder and held the other in his hand, and went to find Mr. Liu Sanye outside.

Mr. Liu San looked at it curiously, and Mingdai explained that it was something sent by a relative.

She just saw that Aunt Niu was very careful and all the things were packed in post office parcels.

The mission in the county town was completed. The three of them went to the state-owned hotel to buy buns. Mingdai and Liu Sanye had two each, and Zhou Sinian had six for himself. After eating, they went home happily.

When she got home, Mingdai took her things into the space and planned to see what was inside.

There were four enamel basins wrapped in cloth, two boxes of gloves containing six enamel pots, a box of soap, two sets of pillowcases, and several pairs of Liberation shoes.

Mingdai opened Aunt Niu's letter, carefully checked the quantity of the items, and calculated the prices of the items she had traded in the past. They were about the same, so neither party suffered a loss.

Mingdai estimated that she had added some more things and fastened the pocket again.

All that was left was to hand these over to Auntie Huang and have her help exchange them with the villagers.
