Mo Qinghe made the suggestion, and upon hearing it, Old Lady Mo immediately agreed.
The third son hasn't been to town for many years. It's really a pity for him. He used to love to travel around, but now he's stuck in a wheelchair and can't go anywhere.
Mo Qinghe arrived in town yesterday and explored the whole place, so he knew exactly what was for sale. Now he was happy to be able to go shopping with his wife!
The group headed to the town again. Unlike before, when they would just buy something and leave, this time they explored the town more thoroughly, though they only visited the food and household goods streets.
Everyone was happy and spent money more generously. Since there was an oxcart, they didn't have to worry about not being able to get the goods back, so they didn't think too much about what they bought. They just bought what they thought was useful and could be used!
In the end, they really did buy a lot. Everyone carried and hung them, and walking on the street, they really attracted attention, causing many people to stick their heads out to look curiously.
Actually, Su Nanxi bought the most. She had already decided what she wanted to buy, so she bought without hesitation and then handed the items to Mo Qinghe beside her.
Mo Qinghe was happy to be his wife's little helper. It was his first time accompanying his wife shopping, which was quite novel and interesting. His wife was in charge of buying things, and he was in charge of carrying them. He followed his wife's lead.
I bought mostly household items this time. It was getting late, so I didn't have time to shop around thoroughly. Next time I need to come out earlier because I'm moving to a new house and need to buy some new things.
Everyone else was beaming with joy. Perhaps it was because this was their first real shopping trip, and they were so excited that they walked with a spring in their step, chatting non-stop on the way back.
With the children at home, Mr. and Mrs. Mo would stay home to look after them. After taking the children to work on the mountain, they would eagerly wait for them to return.
Mo Jiaxing went to school as usual. When he returned home early, he saw a group of people standing and sitting at the gate of his yard. His heart skipped a beat. What had happened?
I quickly ran back, just in case something bad had happened!
Mo Jiarong saw him and went to greet him happily, saying, "Brother, you're back! Why did you run so fast? Are you hungry? Auntie has cooked dinner, and we can eat right away!"
When the other children saw their eldest brother return, they all stood up, rushed forward, and surrounded him, chattering excitedly.
Mo Jiaxing, panting, carefully observed the expressions of his younger siblings. They weren't sad or upset, which was good news. They were even smiling, so they must be alright!
Mo Jiaxing breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Why are you all blocking the entrance?"
Mo Dongmei looked up and said, "We're waiting for Grandpa and Grandma to come back! My uncle said that Grandma and Third Aunt are coming back today. They went to pick them up by oxcart this morning, so they should be back soon!"
Mo Jiaxing suddenly realized that he had heard his father say that he was going to pick up his grandmother and aunt. He had gone to school early in the morning and hadn't seen them leave, so he had forgotten about it for a moment.
Since everyone's waiting at the door, he might as well wait with them! As the eldest brother, he can't fall behind his younger siblings!
So, another person sat at the door.
Zhao was a little puzzled. She clearly heard Mo Jiaxing's voice, but he hadn't come in for quite a while. When she came out to check, good heavens! The leader was sitting by the door!
I smiled helplessly. Oh well, let them be!
She doesn't understand children's affairs, so she lets them do as they please!
She washed the vegetables first, so that when everyone got home, she could cook and eat.
Mo Lao Er was chopping wood on the side. He had just cleaned the chicken coop and dumped the manure in one place to ferment naturally. Now, while chopping wood, he would occasionally glance at the child by the door.
Suddenly, the children at the door started shouting with joy, and the entrance area instantly became abuzz with excitement.
Mo Lao Er was startled and missed chopping the firewood, instead splitting it into the soil next to him.
What happened? Have they come back?
They abandoned the axe, leaving it in the dirt, and Mo Lao Er happily ran towards the door.
Sure enough, they came back with a huge amount of stuff, filling the oxcart to the brim. No wonder the children were so happy; they came back with so much stuff, and the adult was happy too!
"Don't just focus on having fun, come and help carry these things. If you can carry them, then carry them; if you can't, then take something lighter," Mo Lao Er reminded the children.
"good!"
The children realized what was happening and all rushed forward to help.
Grandma Mo got off the oxcart, looked up at her home, and sighed, "My own home is so comfortable and cozy!"
The children told Grandma Mo to go back and sit for a while, and that they would come and move her things.
Grandma Mo was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Great! Our children are all hardworking and considerate! Grandma will go inside first and chat with you later!"
The children, having been praised, were even more motivated and worked even harder. It was truly a happy day!
Soon the moving was finished, and Old Man Mo returned the oxcart, giving the owner a few copper coins.
Zhao also came out to help. Seeing that there was a lot of food, she asked, "Mother, how are these dishes prepared? Are we eating them now or tonight?"
Grandma Mo chuckled, "Meat tastes best when it's fresh. Let's cook it now, and we can eat the leftovers tonight. We're having such a good time today, so let's enjoy a good meal!"
Zhao understood instantly, took the basket to fill it, and said, "Alright!"
She knew she was going to take Li Yunmei home today, but she didn't see Li Yunmei come back with her. Seeing how happy her mother-in-law was, she figured things must have been resolved perfectly, so they should definitely celebrate and have a good meal!
Qin also went to help. With many people working together, the work got faster. Su Nanxi took charge of the cooking and added plenty of seasonings. The aroma was so strong that the house could hardly bear it, and the fragrance kept wafting out.
"Tsk tsk! Who made this dish again? The aroma is so strong!"
"It must be either the village chief's or the Mo family's! But the meat at the village chief's house doesn't smell as good, this must be the Mo family's!"
"Indeed! The village chief's family has been eating meat more often lately. I heard they opened a small shop, and business is booming! It was originally run by the eldest son, but now the younger son wants to open one too! They've made money. If I had some money, I'd open one too!"
"You really think it's that easy to start a business? Since ancient times, which business doesn't require capital? Besides, we're all from humble backgrounds, illiterate, and we might get ripped off without even realizing it! To do this kind of business, you need to know a few words and be able to do arithmetic!"
"Then they can learn from them. Young people are quick-witted. They'll gradually learn by seeing and learning more, right? It's better than spending their whole lives crawling in the mud! We old folks don't need to think about it. The younger generation of young people have a chance to try!"
"That's absolutely true! If you want to make a change, you have to try! The village chief's family hesitated back then, but when he saw that other businesses were thriving, he got anxious and finally decided to take a gamble. Now things are stable, aren't they?"
The Mo family was unaware of their discussion when someone entered through the door.
