Although Old Xu was a bullock cart driver, he had a son who was a soldier, and I heard he was even an officer, so the easy job of driving the bullock cart could be assigned to him.
As the oxcart slowly moved along, Qian Duoduo felt her little bottom getting numb. She shifted uncomfortably and looked up to see Old Mrs. Liu's slanted eyes. She turned her head and leaned on Jin Jinxiu's shoulder. Jin Jinxiu knew the oxcart was hard, but there was nothing she could do about it.
