Chapter 3: Drought Begins



Grandpa Su took Su Nanxing to buy two new sets of clothes and shoes.

I also bought some cotton cloth, planning to make some underwear, socks, etc.

This cost a lot of money. The Su family was obviously not rich, but Grandpa Su smiled happily.

Finally, Grandpa Su bought a piece of meat and took it home, saying it was to celebrate the return of his eldest grandson.

On the way back on the ox cart, Su Nanxing looked at the happy smile on Grandpa Su's face and smiled unconsciously.

When I got home, Su Mu's fever had subsided and he woke up.

Grandpa Su smiled and said that it was really a double blessing for the family.

The Su family prepared a very sumptuous dinner!

Little Zhuzi's mouth was watering with greed, and he stared at the meat on the table with his big eyes without blinking.

For Xiao Zhuzi, there is not so much meat even during the Chinese New Year!

This evening's dinner is a formal welcome to Su Nanxing home.

The Su family also invited the village chief and some elders to witness the return of the eldest grandson of the Su family.

Su Nanxing was in the middle of it, and in a trance he thought that he was really the eldest grandson of the Su family.

But Su Nanxing thought again, it doesn’t matter even if there is no blood relationship.

As long as the Su family recognizes me, why can't I be the eldest grandson of the Su family?

After dinner, Su Nanxing found his grandfather and said that he wanted to go to the provincial capital to sell things.

At the same time, I also took the mineral water bottle.

The moment he saw the bottle, Grandpa Su, who claimed to be knowledgeable, also widened his eyes.

There are actually such beautiful and transparent bottles in this world! I have never heard of it before!

Grandpa Su wanted Su Nanxing to keep it as a family heirloom for future generations.

Then, Grandpa Su asked Grandma Su to give some silver to Su Nanxing.

Of course Su Nanxing confiscated it, saying that he brought the glass bottle here to sell.

Overseas, such glass bottles are not valuable.

Grandpa Su was quickly persuaded and planned to take Su Nanxing to the provincial capital tomorrow.

You need to get up early to go to the provincial capital and set off at five o'clock.

So Grandpa Su asked Su Nanxing to go and rest quickly.

Su Nanxing hadn't gotten up at five o'clock for a long time. He took out his mobile phone and set three alarms to prevent himself from not being able to get up.

The phone still works, but there is no signal and no internet.

You don’t have to worry about the battery level for now because there is a power bank in the bag.

It’s just that my phone has no internet connection, so I can only view the downloaded content.

Tonight, Su Nanxing looked at the delicious food she had taken photos of before, just to quench her thirst.

After watching it, I went to bed quickly. After all, I had to get up at 4:30 tomorrow and leave at 5:00.

At four o'clock in the morning, when it was still dark, the Su family's grandparents had already gotten up.

Grandma Su is in the kitchen, making pancakes.

Grandpa Su was on the side, cooking porridge and lighting the fire.

Both old people had smiles on their faces as they discussed their eldest grandson who had just returned home.

"This time we go to the capital, we must take a car, we can't walk. Nanxing has delicate skin and tender flesh, and you can tell at a glance that she has never suffered hardship.

He finally comes home, and as his grandparents, we can’t let him suffer.”

Grandma Su kept on giving instructions, her hands moving non-stop.

Grandpa Su agreed very much, “Our eldest grandson raised himself so well on his own.

He must have suffered a lot, so we must love him more in the future."

......

At 4:15, Su Nanxing's alarm clock rang.

For fear that someone might hear the noise, Su Nanxing set it to vibrate and placed it next to the pillow.

At 4:25, the alarm clock rang again.

After Su Nanxing turned it off, he covered his head again.

At half past four, the last alarm clock began to vibrate, and Su Nanxing finally sat up.

It was now early July and Su Nanxing was sweating all over.

After getting up, I took a shower first, then quickly had breakfast, and appeared at the village entrance with my grandfather on time.

The village oxcart sets out at five o'clock, and each person pays one penny to get to the town.

The bumpy ox cart made it impossible for Su Nanxing to catch up on his sleep.

After a lot of bumps and bruises, we finally arrived at the town and had to continue riding the ox cart.

This time, the ox cart to the county town was expensive, costing ten cents per person.

No wonder most villagers choose to walk, it is indeed expensive.

However, this time the ox cart is indeed more stable.

At least Su Nanxing felt like she had fallen asleep for a while.

On the ox cart, Su Nanxing and Grandpa Su had lunch.

It is a pancake made by Grandma Su. Although it is just a simple scallion pancake, it is very delicious.

Su Nanxing ate her fill and even ate half an egg.

When we arrived at the county town, we had to continue our journey, but this time it was a horse-drawn carriage.

The price is not particularly expensive because the county town is not far from the provincial capital.

Su Nanxing and Grandpa Su received fifteen cents.

The city was indeed extraordinary; the city walls alone were even taller.

The streets are very wide and there are many small vendors.

There are no buildings on either side of the road that are less than two stories high.

The level of prosperity is really incomparable to that of a small county town.

Grandpa Su seemed to be quite familiar with the provincial capital, and he took Su Nanxing directly to a pawnshop.

This pawnshop is located on the most prosperous street. It is three stories high and magnificent.

Grandpa Su said that this pawnshop was opened by the King of Zhennan and was the most fair.

Last time, Grandpa Su came here to pawn his things in order to pay for Su Mu's medical treatment, and he paid a lot of money.

After entering the shop, someone immediately came forward and said, "Hello, gentlemen. Would you like to pawn something?"
