"Minghua, I'm sorry." Jiang Changxing said sullenly, thinking of that well-behaved and sensible daughter, how could he not feel sad in his heart, he felt guilty and blamed himself, if he wasn't too cowardly and couldn't even protect his own daughter, how could he let Jiang Xiaoyang die?

"No, I'm the one who should say I'm sorry." Zhang Minghua sobbed lowly, not daring to speak loudly, for fear that Jiang Guyu next door would hear it.

"Nope."

Jiang Changxing hugged Zhang Minghua over and said reproachfully.

……

Early the next morning, Jiang Guyu heard that Yan Qiu had entered the city with his burden early, and Jiang Changxing also got up to go to the mountains to chop firewood, working in the village school during the day, and going to the mountains to chop firewood early in the morning, so that Yan Qiu could go into the city to sell firewood every day.

In the early morning, the bird seemed to be singing, the bright sunlight illuminated through the room, after Jiang Guyu got dressed, she looked at her still swollen feet, and couldn't help but move little by little, but it hurt too much, every step she moved, she felt like she was pulling her flesh painfully.

"Xiaoyu, why are you up? It hurts, right? Zhang Minghua listened to the subtle sound in the room, and immediately ran in, and saw Jiang Guyu holding the bed, moving step by step, her little face was pale, which made her feel distressed immediately, and she wanted to carry Jiang Guyu, but Jiang Guyu was unwilling, so she half-leaned on Zhang Minghua and walked to the yard step by step.

The verdant mountains, the chickens at home have slowly grown up, foraging for food in the yard, next to the vegetable garden, planting some vegetables, looking very leisurely and comfortable life.

"Wow, the air is sweet." Jiang Guyu took a deep breath and said, "Mother, I'll go to the yard and sit in the morning sun." ”

"Okay, you stand up, my mother will go and get you a stool." Zhang Minghua said, then went into the house to get a stool for Jiang Guyu to sit on, and then went to boil porridge again.

After a simple breakfast, Jiang Changxing went to work in the village school, Zhang Minghua took the soles of his socks and held them in the sun, and Jiang Guyu sat aside with a brush and was slowly practicing calligraphy.

The naughty hen pecked next to her from time to time, which made her laugh and said, "Mother, when do you think this hen will lay eggs?" ”

"It's still early, and when the autumn harvest comes, it will probably fall." Zhang Minghua replied with a smile, looked at Jiang Guyu and asked, "Want to eat eggs?" Mother will cook it for you now. ”

Zhang Minghua was about to get up and boil eggs as she spoke, but Jiang Guyu hurriedly stopped: "Mother, no, I'll just ask casually." ”

"How is it, how about the words I write?" Jiang Guyu proudly put it in front of Zhang Minghua, her words have improved very quickly recently, and even she looks like she can be called Juanxiu.

Compared to the words that crawled like earthworms at the beginning, if it was written by elementary school students before, then now it is at least like the words written by junior high school students, although it has not yet become a pen, but at least it is quite beautiful.

Zhang Minghua looked at it carefully, she didn't recognize what those words meant, but looking at the words of general size, she couldn't help but appreciate: "Yes, there is progress." ”

"Hee-hee." Jiang Guyu was affirmed by Zhang Minghua, and his heart was even more excited.

……

When night fell, without her dragging, Yan Qiu returned on time before the sun went down every day, on this day, Jiang Guyu suddenly remembered something, and secretly asked Yan Qiu: "Yan Qiu, you say, are horses very expensive?" ”

"Horses?" Yan Qiu was a little strange, he didn't understand why Jiang Guyu asked this, he nodded and smiled: "It's quite expensive." ”

Yan Qiu's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Do you want to take the carriage?" That's fine, next time you're going to the city, I'll hire you a carriage in advance. ”

"Is there a carriage to hire? Is it expensive? As soon as Jiang Guyu heard that there was a carriage to hire, he immediately looked at Yan Qiu with wide eyes, and couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Yes, once you come to our village, it should cost fifty yuan." Yan Qiuluo estimated in his heart and said.

When Jiang Guyu heard this, he immediately looked at Yan Qiu with wide eyes and said, "This is too expensive!" ”

"Sort of." Yan Qiu nodded, looked at Jiang Guyu's shocked look helplessly, and couldn't help but say: "The carriage is for the rich people's family, don't blame the people for being expensive, you look at the horses, even if they are a little worse, they cost thirty taels of silver, and the carriage work, even if the wood doesn't cost money, but the carpentry fee is also a lot of money, not to mention a few taels of silver." ”

Jiang Guyu nodded, this is similar to the shuttle bus in the previous life, and there are taxis, all of which require investment, but if it is really done, it should still make money, she asked again: "By the way, how many people can be seated in that carriage?" ”

"Five or six." Yan Qiu said and asked rhetorically, "What, you want to do this carriage business?" ”

Jiang Guyu was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Yan Qiu's mind to turn so fast, she nodded and said: "You see how inconvenient it is for our village to go to the city, except for the carriage in Lizheng's house, there is no one else, if we have a carriage to go to the city every day, will you take a carriage to go?" ”

“……”

Yan Qiu was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Then if your price is too high, people will definitely not go, but if the price is low, it will not be easy for your capital to be returned." ”

"Yes, if one person has a few pennies, is it less?" Jiang Guyu muttered and began to count with his fingers, even if one person is five yuan, five people are twenty-five yuan, these ten days are two hundred and fifty yuan, and one hundred days is two thousand five hundred yuan, if you say a year, you can earn seven or eight taels of silver, and the cost will take about six or seven years to return to the capital, no, this is too little.

"Then you can only collect money back and forth." Jiang Guyu muttered, let Yan Qiu next to him listen, couldn't help laughing, looking at her serious look, he really couldn't bear to bother, and when she was almost done, he said: "Actually, it doesn't have to be a carriage, people's carriages are good-looking, carrying noble people, if it is specially used to transport people, you can deliberately make it bigger and wider, in this way, it should not be much of a problem to carry six or seven people." ”

Yan Qiu added: "And the terrain where we go to the city here is flat, there is no slope, and there will not be much damage to the horses." ”

"yes, I think too, so do you think it's feasible?" Jiang Guyu blinked and looked at Yan Qiu, looking expectant, in fact, if she could do it, then her father would have a stable job to do, the repair of the school, and the cutting of firewood to sell, were all hard physical work, and she was very distressed when she looked at it.

"Feasible." Yan Qiu nodded, looked at Jiang Guyu hesitantly, and only then did he feel that it was a penny that was difficult to defeat a hero, this idea was good, but if it was really to be put into practice, it was still very difficult, and the first thing to bear the brunt of it was the money to buy a horse, where did it come from?
