Chapter 133: My sister's mouth is full of light and honey
The carriage shop was also closed.
This means that they have to go to Qili Town.
If you walk on your own, it will take about half a day.
A bit far.
What's more, they brought gifts with them, which was tiring to carry all the way.
The final result of the discussion was to lighten the gifts by half and store them in the town's grain store, then pack light and walk to Qili Town.
Little Yuanbao is very energetic. Although she is small, she is very strong. Plus, she is very enthusiastic, so she walks at a fast pace.
On the contrary, Cai was halfway through his walk when he started to pant and gasp.
The most tired one is Erbao.
Erbao is a little weaker and has not fully recovered yet.
Sanbao wiped his sweat and suggested, "Mom, big brother, why don't we buy a carriage? It will be convenient for us to go out in the future, so we don't have to rent a carriage every time."
Cai didn't even think about it. "We only go back to the Cai family once a year, on the second day of the Chinese New Year. There's no need to buy a carriage! Carriages are so expensive. Besides, no one in our village has ever bought a carriage unless they are doing big business outside."
The implication is that buying a horse-drawn carriage would attract some attention.
Who knew that the little kid would say, "Carriages are great, mom! You don't have to walk and get blisters on your feet. The baby loves riding in carriages."
My sister has spoken.
Dabao and Erbao's minds began to become active.
Er Bao said, "Of course we can consider it. Not only can we use it at grandma's house, but we can also use it when we go to town. It takes half an hour to walk to town, but if we take a horse carriage, it will only take half an incense stick of time to go back and forth. In the future, if big brother goes to Zhishu School, we can take a horse carriage to deliver food to him. When we deliver it, the food will not get cold."
Dabao coughed and said, "We don't need to think about Zhishu School yet. We need to go to the village school first."
There is only one university in Baili Town, called Zhishu School.
It is the most famous school within a hundred miles and has been open for hundreds of years. There are many teachers there, and the lowest one is a scholar with a good rank.
The admission requirements are quite strict, and not everyone can afford to go in.
According to the assessment, the children who can enter Zhishu School are all very outstanding.
Wang Tiangou is a student of Zhishu School. Last time when Xiao Yuanbao had a conflict with the Lao Tang family, he said he would report to the police on behalf of Xiao Yuanbao's family, and the Lao Tang family took a step back.
Because of the reputation of Zhishu Academy, everyone can't help but look up to it.
It is difficult to get into Zhishu School and the number of places is limited. Where should ordinary children go to study?
Village school!
Every large village has a village school.
If there is no village school in a small village, students can go to school in a nearby large village.
Tangjia Village is a large village with a village school.
Therefore, if Dabao and his friends want to go to school, they can only go to the village school first, and only those with outstanding performance can be selected to enter the Zhishu School.
Erbao said, "It's not like we can buy a carriage just because we want to. Carriages are also quite expensive. If we want to buy one, we can only consider old ones, which are replaced by people with money. We should consider the ones with the best value for money first."
Cai was also persuaded by the children.
Little Yuanbao is very active.
She often runs around, either catching ghosts for Mr. Liu's house or rescuing people for the landlord Shi. With her frequent outings, she really needs a carriage.
It comes in handy whether she goes back to her parents' home, her sons go to school, or her daughters go out to catch ghosts.
"The horses in the carriage need to be fed every day. In winter, there is no grass to eat, so they need to eat horse feed..."
Sanbao rushed to say, "I'll feed it! I'll feed it every day!"
Cai smiled and said, "Okay, you promised me that! From now on, the task of feeding the horses will be handed over to you. When the carriage shop in the town opens, I will ask your eldest brother to see if there is anyone suitable."
“Okay!!”
"Thank you, mother!"
The children were all very happy.
We chatted and laughed along the way, and it went pretty fast.
When they reached the end, little Yuanbao's arms and legs began to feel weak, so Dabao picked him up and walked with him.
Finally we arrived at Qili Town.
The people in Cai the peddler's house were having dinner. When they saw Xiao Yuanbao and her family of five coming, they were surprised and happy.
"Why are you here at this hour?"
People go back home early in the morning.
Cai the peddler had actually been waiting for the entire morning, but no one showed up.
I was having lunch, but I couldn't taste the food.
Finally, Cai and her friends arrived.
As soon as Little Yuanbao entered the house, he bowed to Cai the peddler and said, "Hello, Grandma. I wish you a happy new year! I wish you good health and a long life!"
Sanbao suspected that her sister's mouth was blessed and smeared with honey.
These words really made him speechless.
Too embarrassing.
Just like my eldest brother and second brother, I politely said, "Hello, grandma."
Cai the peddler laughed out loud, "Okay, okay, happy New Year to our little Yuanbao too. Hello to you all."
"Hurry up, old woman, Dashan's wife, go to the kitchen and make a few more delicious dishes. Dashan, bring in chairs and bowls for your sister and nephews. You two little ones, get some warm water for Third Aunt and wash the hands of her brothers and sisters..."
"Okay!"
Everyone agreed.
Cai and her friends went into the house and washed their hands and faces.
After walking for a whole morning, little Yuanbao would grab and play with anything interesting he saw on the road.
What a dry foxtail grass! What a passing bug!
She is the dirtiest among the group.
She was washed with a basin of black water.
After not seeing each other for a few days, Cai Dashan seemed much calmer, and the two children of the Cai family also had smiles on their faces.
Cai breathed a sigh of relief and was very happy.
After greeting Cai the peddler and his men, he looked around and asked, "Where's Cai Erfeng?"
Cai Huolang's smile froze immediately. "She is in her room and doesn't want to come out to eat with us. It's okay. Don't worry about her. Just ask her mother to bring her a bowl of rice in a while."
At this time, Cai's daughter-in-law and Cai's wife had already started serving the dishes again, bringing up several plates of hot dishes.
Mrs. Cai said, "Yes, don't worry about her. Let's eat. Sanya, your father and I have been looking forward to seeing you all morning. Now that you are here, your father will eat an extra bowl of rice."
Cai smiled and said, "Every time we come here, we always take a carriage, which is faster. Today, the carriage shop is closed, so we have to walk here, so we have come to this point. Mother, you have worked hard cooking."
When Mrs. Cai heard the word "mother", the wrinkles on her old face immediately relaxed a lot.
"Hey, it's not hard, it's not hard. I can still see with my eyes, and I can still cook for you. I have to thank Xiao Yuanbao every morning and evening, and thank Sanya for teaching the children..."
Cai the peddler was even happier to see this scene. Mrs. Cai had always been lukewarm towards Cai Sanya, but now the two could talk to each other normally. Sanya even gave Mrs. Cai such a big face and called her mother. This showed that the previous grievances were over and they had reconciled.
How could he not be happy?
A harmonious family will bring prosperity.
