Chapter 44 Borrowing an Ox Cart

Because tomorrow is the day to go to the market in Daxing Town, Zhong and the others did not go to Siguniang Mountain to cut firewood in the afternoon. This afternoon, they have to pack up the firewood piled up at home and tie them up neatly. They will go to the market in Daxing Town tomorrow. market.

People in the town are very picky when buying firewood. Firstly, it depends on the quality of the firewood, and secondly, it depends on the appearance of the firewood.

Yan Xiaosi was not very good at doing these things, and Yan Shuyun had an injury on her foot, so the two of them did chores for Zhong and the others, passing water, knives and vines for binding firewood.

In the evening, Mrs. Zhong and the others tied up five pieces of firewood.

Yan Xiaosi looked at the five neatly stacked bundles of firewood, frowned, a little worried.

"Mother, are these five bundles of firewood going to be sold at the market in Daxing Town tomorrow?"

Mrs. Zhong nodded and replied: "Mother will get up earlier in the morning, pick up two bundles of firewood and go to Daxing Town, and then come back, together with your elder sister and second sister, get the remaining three bundles of firewood to the town. , the midwinter is getting closer and closer, we need to earn some money as soon as possible, one is to prepare rations for the winter, and the other is to find a way to repair the dilapidated grass temple we live in, so as not to be unable to withstand the wind and snow in winter."

Yan Xiaosi's eyes fell on Zhong's body, looking at Zhong's slightly hunched back, her eyes were a little sore, and she turned her eyes to the three Yan Shuqin sisters, and saw that the three were pale and thin, with Malnourished and not tall, her eye sockets became more sore and swollen.

In the past, the three sisters Zhong and Yan Shuqin carried firewood on their shoulders to the town to sell. Such heavy work had already exceeded the capacity of the four of them.

"With so much firewood, I'd better borrow an ox cart to take it to Daxing Town."

Zhong immediately stopped her: "Xiao Si, where are you going to borrow an ox cart? Don't go, mother still has strength."

Since Yan Bowen's death, the third house of Yan's family has become the most down-and-out family in Shaoyao Village. With Zhong's Kefu's reputation as a broom star, almost no one in the village wants to deal with the third house of Yan's family, let alone borrow things. Therefore, Mrs. Zhong would rather be a little tired than Yan Xiaosi to beg for help and see people's faces.

Yan Xiaosi's footsteps did not stop, "Mother, Tian Dazhuang's family has an ox cart, I got close to Tian Dazhuang, so I went to borrow it."

Yan Xiaosi stubbornly left the Pocao Temple and walked to Tian Dazhuang's house in the middle of the village.

The four Zhong's mother and daughter looked at her leaving back, but none of the four had any hope that she could borrow Tian Dazhuang's family's ox cart.

Yan Shuqin said: "Mother, can the fourth brother borrow an ox cart? Although the fourth brother often plays with brother Da Zhuang, Tian Da Zhuang has a tough mother, and his mother may not lend the ox cart easily. Fourth brother."

Zhong sighed, and said: "Since Xiaosi wants to try it, let her try it. If she doesn't try, she won't give up. It's getting late, let's go inside and cook dinner."

When Yan Xiaosi arrived at Tian Dazhuang's house, Tian Dazhuang's mother was cooking dinner.

As soon as he got outside the door, Yan Xiaosi smelled the smell of fried meat, like the smell of twice-cooked pork. This body was seriously short of meat, and when he smelled the smell of meat, alarm bells rang out in his stomach.

It feels like I haven’t eaten twice-cooked pork in a century.

The military doctor of the dignified army field army has been reduced to the point where he becomes greedy when he smells the smell of fried meat.

Yan Xiaosi licked the corners of her mouth, touched her slumped belly, with a look of disdain and disdain for herself, but she still remembered that she came to Tian Dazhuang's house tonight to borrow an ox cart.
