As for the remaining children, Uncle Zhao had already taken a small wooden stool from beside him and placed it on the ground. They climbed onto the car without much effort by stepping on the stool.
Da Shu and Er Zhu first carried the large basket onto the carriage before climbing up themselves. Mao Mao, on the other hand, had already put the two baskets in his hands into the large basket when he learned that he could take the carriage. He then easily climbed onto the carriage behind Shi Tou, holding two bamboo poles.
Da Shu and Er Zhu noticed that the wooden planks of the carriage were carved with exquisite patterns. Not only was there no foul smell from livestock, but there was also a faint fragrance wafting from the carriage. They carefully lowered their heads and stepped into the carriage.
The carriage was spotless and exquisite. Da Shu and Er Zhu stood at the door, not knowing where to sit. At the same time, they were both very glad that they hadn't dawdled or been lazy that morning and had washed the big basket clean. Otherwise, they would have been embarrassed to bring it in.
Seeing that they were stunned, Min Yueqing said, "Sit wherever you like, don't be shy."
Da Shu and Er Zhu quickly thanked the lady and found a seat nearby. No sooner had they sat down than Shi Tou and Ma Mao came in.
Seeing that they were sitting on one side of the couch, Shi Tou naturally walked to the other side of the couch and beckoned Mao Mao to come in and sit with him, so that everyone could sit comfortably.
The bamboo pole that Mao Mao was holding was a bit long, so Shi Tou helped Mao Mao put it on the floor of the carriage. One end was under their feet, and the other end was suspended from the carriage frame through the curtain.
Seeing that they had all boarded the carriage, Uncle Zhao put away the small wooden stool and prepared to set off with his horse. Only then did he suddenly realize that something was wrong. His wife had only told him to drive to the door to pick them up, but she hadn't said where they were going.
Uncle Zhao had no choice but to ask through the carriage curtain, "Madam, where are we going?"
Upon hearing this question, Min Yueqing suddenly realized the problem and asked Mao Mao and the other two, "Can any of you give Uncle Zhao directions?"
Erzhu, who was sitting by the car door, immediately stood up. He had been feeling a bit uncomfortable sitting inside, so he volunteered, "Madam, I'll go right away."
He then got out of the carriage and plopped down next to Uncle Zhao. With Erzhu pointing the way, the carriage finally started moving.
