"Mom, this is my first time riding in a ox cart!" Zhang Feixuan said excitedly in the ox cart.
"Me too, me too!" The seven-headed Zhang Feiyi was not to be outdone.
"You will have plenty of opportunities to ride this ox cart in the future!" Jian Xiu said lightly.
This is true. If the two of them really enter the Academy, they will definitely have to ride a bullock cart when they come back.
"Sit tight, we are about to set off now." Zhang Zhiyong said with a smile.
"Uncle Zhiyong, we are all seated!" several people said in unison.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhiyong suddenly frowned and walked home in a hurry.
"If there is any emergency, you guys wait here first!" Before leaving, Zhang Zhiyong shouted to the people on the ox cart.
Since it was a rare trip to the county town, Jian Xiu naturally brought along the dried bamboo shoots she had dried.
There is also some plantain as well.
As soon as it was brought forward, Niu Qian occupied more than half of the space.
Fortunately, these things are not heavy and can be piled together.
In the ox cart, when Li was looking at Jian Xiu, she couldn't help but feel sour and asked in a sarcastic tone:
"Jian Xiu, where are you and your family going?"
"Aunt Li, look at what you are saying. We are already on the ox cart and you are still asking where we are going? Aren't you asking even though you already know the answer?" Jian Xiu said expressionlessly.
In the entire Zhangjia Village, there is only one ox cart, which is owned by Zhang Zhiyong.
Everyone in the village knew that his ox cart only went to the county town once in the morning.
Anyone who rides a bullock cart is basically going to Quanyong County.
"Jian Xiu, what do you mean by that? I'm just asking casually. I've noticed that you've changed completely since the four of you separated. You act like you're so great. Don't you see the things you brought? They almost take up half of this ox cart. Are you embarrassed?"
Originally, Jian Xiu didn't want to argue with her too much, but she also understood that if she ignored her, she might get worse.
In the past, she and Chen Sixi from the 贗房 were best friends.
Speaking of the old house, Wang Xiuying, the headmistress, didn't have much to say.
The eldest wife, Fang Miaojuan, was a very versatile person, but she didn't have any overly vicious intentions.
Just looking at the two children she raised, you can tell that she has a good heart.
The most amazing one is Chen Sixi from the 崗房.
Relying on her mother's family's power, she bullied the original body a lot in the past.
She did a lot of sinister things in the entire old house, but she didn't do much real work.
It can be said that Chen Sixi is the most lazy and cunning person.
The Li in front of her is on good terms with her, so one can imagine her character.
Thinking of this, Jian Xiu asked Li: "Aunt Li, you really stumped me. I gave Brother Zhiyong two more copper coins just now, and everyone saw it."
Having said this, Jian Xiu lowered her head, glanced at the backpack next to Li, and continued:
"It's you, Aunt Li, who can't do that. Your backpack is so big, and there's one on the side. There's room for another person. You should at least give Brother Zhiyong another copper coin. Otherwise, it's not fair to us. We're all riding in the ox cart. We agreed that if you carry the backpack yourself and it doesn't bother others, you don't have to pay extra copper coins. But if you leave it there like you did, you'll have to pay two copper coins."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the women in the ox cart turned sideways to look at Li.
"You... you are just talking nonsense. I have been riding in a bullock cart like this many times. When did I have to pay extra copper coins? No... no such thing, don't vent your anger... you..."
After saying 누, he even started to stutter.
When Zhang Zhiyong came back, he saw the blushing Li and the calm Jian Xiu at first sight.
I don't understand, he just left to relieve himself, how did it turn out like this?
Looking at the awkward atmosphere in the ox cart, Zhang Zhiyong immediately guessed that something must have happened.
After all, it's nothing more than some trivial matters in a woman's home.
However, just because Zhang Zhiyong pretended not to see it doesn't mean that others also pretended not to see it.
So Aunt Zhao at the side couldn't help but asked Zhang Zhiyong:
"Zhiyong, your ox must be very tired from doing this every day. Look at all the baskets on the ox cart. Have you collected the money?"
After saying this, Mrs. Li suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Aunt Zhao.
His eyes were full of anger.
Aunt Zhao seemed not to notice her. She had disliked Li for a long time.
How could I let go of this rare opportunity?
After listening to Aunt Zhao's words, Zhang Zhiyong slowly understood what had happened in the ox cart just now?
Seeing Jian Xiu's half-smile, Zhang Zhiyong immediately stretched out his right hand towards Li and said:
"Aunt Li, your two backpacks are really big. They can definitely hold two more people. Look, you..."
"Zhang Zhiyong, what do you mean? You are bullying me. This is clearly... it is..."
When it came to this, he couldn't utter a word, and was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick.
She wanted to say that Jian Xiu also had two backpacks.
But Jian Xiu just said that she gave two more copper coins, which means that she also has to give two more copper coins.
If you calculate it this way, plus myself, isn't it just a copper coin?
Li's family was not very wealthy, and everyone in the family had to tighten their belts to make ends meet.
Anyone would feel bad if they just took away a penny.
Thinking of this, Li could only pick up her backpack and get off the ox cart in disappointment.
Seeing this, Aunt Zhao felt comfortable and immediately moved a little closer to Jian Xiu.
Aunt Zhao's daughter and Jian Xiu have always gotten along well, so she naturally became closer to Jian Xiu.
"Jian Xiu, tell me the truth, is there something wrong with you? Why do I see you going to the county town so often recently?"
As she got closer, Aunt Zhao asked with concern.
"What can I do? Aunt Zhao, if you are free, why don't you go to Jian's village to see Sister Xue."
"Sister Xue? What happened to her? She was fine when she came back last time?"
This time, Aunt Zhao was really panicked.
She must have given birth to a pair of children. Zhang Xuemei was the eldest daughter and married into Jianjia Village.
My son Zhang Xueshi is only four years old this year, but he is quite well-behaved and hardworking.
But even so, Aunt Zhao loved Zhang Xuemei very much.
Although her family was not wealthy, Zhang Xuemei had everything that others had.
