Chapter 48

When Chen Shouxing came back from buying food, the sun was already in the west, and Mrs. Chen was calling He to cook.

Wang Hongmei and Li Pangya were sitting in the yard, removing seeds from cotton.

Chen Shouxing moved all the food on the donkey cart into the house, paid the cart fare, and then turned around and returned to the house.

Seeing him come back, Zhao Miaomiao handed him the large towel that had been wrung out on the basin.

Chen Shouxing wiped his face and said, "Daughter-in-law, shall we buy a donkey cart?"

Zhao Miaomiao thought for a while, Xianggong had to take a car every time he went to the county to write a letter, and it would be convenient for the family to buy a donkey cart, "Okay."

Chen Shouxing smiled, put his arms around her slender waist, and said softly, "I came back and saw Dad and the others picking food, and they were so tired that they were resting on the side of the road panting."

Zhao Miaomiao frowned. Her father-in-law and the others had to go back and forth several times to pick up the wheat at home and exchange it for corn in the town!

Chen Shouxing continued, "I think donkey carts are not expensive. If we have money on hand, we can buy a donkey cart. In the future, the family will not need to pick everything by itself. I'm so tired! I don't need to pay for a cart to go back and forth to the county."

Zhao Miaomiao nodded and replied, "We still have a little more than one tael of silver in our hands. If we want to buy a donkey cart, we should start with the dowry..."

The money to buy the donkey can't be used for his wife's dowry. Chen Shouxing frowned and said, "Daughter-in-law, don't be in a hurry with the donkey cart. After buying the donkey, the wooden cart will not be ready for a while. I will wait for another ten days and collect the next month's rent." It’s not too late for money.”

A donkey costs about one tael of silver, and if the money for the wooden cart is included, it is only about two taels of silver.

Zhao Miaomiao shook her head and said, "You don't have to wait to collect the rent. I'll hand in the embroidery work in two days and I'll have money."

Chen Shouxing listened and said with a smile, "Then I'll go to the carpenter tomorrow to order a wooden cart."

Zhao Miaomiao responded.

In the blink of an eye two days later, after handing over the fat son to Mrs. Chen, Zhao Miaomiao went out with Chen Shouxing with her belongings, took the ox cart at the entrance of the village, and got off at the gate of the county seat.

After they went to the embroidery shop to hand in the embroidery work, they then went to the cattle and donkey market, where there were shouts of sellers everywhere, and there were people selling cattle, donkeys, mules and horses. They went around and compared the prices of various grass donkeys, By the way, inquire about the price of cattle.

A big yellow cow costs eight taels of silver, a thinner one costs six taels, and a mule costs seven taels.

They bought a straw donkey for one or two cents, then went to the carpenter's place, picked up the wooden cart, and paid the rest of his wages.

After setting up the donkey cart, Zhao Miaomiao got into the donkey cart, and Chen Shouxing drove the donkey with his braids. When he got home, he stepped into the courtyard and saw the scene in front of him.

Mrs. Chen was very fond of the little chubby little boy. She kissed and hugged her and kept shouting, "Grandma's sweet grandson is so lucky. Look at how round his head is. He is as smart as his father. His eyes are so bright." Turning around, it's a smart one at a glance..."

Wang Hongmei and Li Pangya should agree.

"This face is as white and soft as a bun. He looks different from the children in our village. He will definitely be a promising person and enjoy happiness in the future!"

"Look at these little hands, the little toes are fleshy, and they will definitely catch money in the future."

The little chubby was dazed by the kiss, his small eyes blinked, and he looked at the little fleshy hand that had been pinched, pinched, and bitten.

Ruirui's little feet silently moved back and forth.

Zhao Miaomiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, looking at the elder son who was so scared that his eyes widened, and the younger son who was praised by his mother-in-law and sister-in-law.

Chen Shouxing twitched the corners of his mouth and shouted, "Mother!"

Zhao Miaomiao squatted down, smiled and stretched out her hand towards the little fat man, and the little guy immediately threw himself into her arms with tears in his eyes.

Old lady Chen kept looking at Xiaopangdun, and replied lightly, "Yes."

Chen Shouxing coughed and said, "Mom, Miao Miao and I bought a donkey cart..."

!!!

Mrs. Chen suddenly raised her eyes, looked at him and said, "What donkey cart? Did you and Miao Miao buy a donkey cart?"

Chen Shouxing smiled and nodded.

Wang Hongmei and Fatty Li looked at each other with shock in their eyes, the uncle bought a donkey cart!
Mrs. Chen raised her hand and was about to hit her son, "You bastard, why did you buy a donkey cart? Waste of money! She also said that money is tight, and she doesn't know how to save money, Rui Ruinian..."

She almost slipped the tongue, but she immediately changed her words and cursed, "Ruirui is not young anymore, you hoard more money and spend money recklessly!"

Wang Hongmei/Li Pangya: Isn’t Ruirui only five years old?Not too young?

Chen Shouxing was well prepared. He held his mother's hand and said, "Mom, listen to what my son said. After buying a donkey cart, dad and the others won't have to be so tired. They won't have to carry burdens to exchange for food. It's easier to harvest firewood in the summer and autumn." It’s convenient to go anywhere in town.”

Old lady Chen raised her eyebrows, of course she knew about this, but working harder could save money, and the youngest son even said to pay for Ruirui's education, which cost money to buy a donkey cart, she was worried!

He scolded angrily, "What's the hard work? How many families in this village don't live like this, what's so convenient? How far can we go? How many times do we go out? You'll waste your money and make your old lady mad!"

Chen Shouxing stretched out his hand to her and said softly, "Mother, they are them, and I have money, so naturally I want my parents to live more comfortably!"

The son is filial, and Mrs. Chen is warm in her heart, but it is related to her grandson's study. How can she feel comfortable? She held his ear and continued to scold, "You have fart money, and you are so eager, what will Ruirui do in the future, and still want to... fart!"

After mentioning Ruirui three or two times, Chen Shouxing understood that his mother was afraid that he would spend all his money. Ruirui had no money to study, so he immediately couldn't laugh or cry, "Mom, don't worry, I have enough money, otherwise Miaomiao can give me money to buy a donkey cart." ?”

Mrs. Chen was silent for a while, no matter how filial Miao Miao was, it was impossible for Miao Miao to buy a donkey cart with Ruirui's school money, so she believed him a little bit.

I still feel sorry for the money, which was paid by my youngest son himself, and he muttered, "Then you can't buy a donkey cart, you can save more money..."

Chen Shouxing sighed helplessly.

Zhao Miaomiao smiled and said, "Mom, I have this donkey. My husband went to the county to write letters to people to save money on transportation. Besides, if you don't use the donkey, you can just resell it. There is no need to waste money."

Mrs. Chen blinked, it seemed to be the reason!This is definitely not because I am stupid, but because my younger son always spends money randomly and misleads her!

Zhao Miaomiao and Chen Shouxing looked at each other and smiled.

Mrs. Chen frowned again and said, "I bought a donkey cart, can you still use the money?"

Naturally, the family can afford a donkey cart, but the farmers only have to pay attention to the weather and don’t leave more money. How can that be done?

Zhao Miaomiao nodded and said, "Mom, it's enough! Don't worry about us, you and your father-in-law just need to take good care of your health."

Wang Hongmei and Li Fatya were very happy. Although it was my uncle's donkey cart, before we separated, we used it together!
In the evening, everyone in the Chen family knew that Chen Shouxing had bought a donkey cart, and they all had smiles on their faces.

The children in the family looked around the grass donkey and fed it with corn stalks.
