Tan also sighed and nodded: "It's only like this, I'll go to Zhou Media's mother-in-law's house tomorrow to sit for a while, she has a lot of places, let her help inquire!" ”

Old Yang Tou told again: "Hmm." That's good, remember not to be empty-handed when you look back, the money that should be spent, you have to spend it, and the matchmaker can't be sloppy about the marriage of her children! ”

"I know, the water is cold, I'll wipe it up for you, you can go to bed and rest!"

"Hmm!"

Nothing was said all night.

Before dawn, Sun groped his way up to get up and put on his shoes.

The girl went back to the town to sell tofu, but she didn't have time to make breakfast, and the girl was in a hurry on an empty stomach.

This matter, Sun felt uncomfortable when he thought about it.

No, I have to go to town again this time, and I must let my daughter eat enough and go on the road!

The chimney is curling with smoke, the villagers of Changping Village are still snoring under the covers, and in the stove room of Yang Ruoqing's house, Sun is kneading cornmeal with a soybean oil lamp.

When dawn broke in the east, Yang Ruoqing came to the stove after washing.

Just in time for the fragrant and sweet tortillas to come out of the pan.

"Qing'er, wash up, right? Hurry up and eat, I've got an extra spoonful of caramel! ”

Sun Shi poured the boiling hot water into the clay pot and beckoned Yang Ruoqing.

"Hmm!"

Yang Ruoqing walked over, looked at the corn tortillas in the bowl, and was surprised.

"Yo, why is my mother so branded today?"

Pick up a thin, crispy tortilla and take a bite.

Well, it's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fragrant and sweet, it's delicious!

"I scooped up an extra bowl of noodles and branded the portion of Tang Lingzi." Sun said.

"Oh!" Yang Ruoqing nodded, standing by the pot and eating tortillas with relish.

When half of a cake was eaten, there was a gentle knock on the door in the courtyard of the side door.

"It's definitely Tang Lingzi who is here, I'll open the door!"

Before Yang Ruoqing could speak, Sun put down the crockpot with hot water in his hand, turned around and walked out of the stove room.

After a while, the Sun family turned back, followed by Luo Fengtang.

The low stove room, because of Luo Fengtang's sudden intrusion, looked even more low and cramped.

Yang Ruoqing smiled at Luo Fengtang: "Coming?" ”

"Hmm!" Luo Fengtang nodded.

"Tang Yanzi, come, the corn tortillas that have just come out of the pot, you eat them quickly!" Sun had already handed over the bread.

"Auntie, I'm not hungry, I just got a ...... from home"

Luo Fengtang glanced at the golden tortilla, his eyes lit up slightly, but he still politely postponed it.

Qing'er's family has just been separated, one is poor and two are white, and the rice and noodles they eat are all bought from the rice grain store in the town.

No matter how tempting the cake was, he couldn't bear to eat it.

However, Sun was still there to persuade: "Eat, eat, what are you going to see with your aunt?" ”

Seeing that Luo Fengtang still refused to answer, Sun secretly stabbed Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing came to her senses and said to Luo Fengtang: "My mother branded your share, you can eat it." When you're full, you have the strength to push the cart and hurry up! ”

"Hmm!"

Luo Fengtang lowered his eyes, thanked Sun, took the cake and ate it.

It's fragrant and sweet, and it's far better than those wild vegetable and multigrain cakes posted by Uncle......

Yang Ruoqing ate two cakes, and Luo Fengtang ate four under Sun's strong persuasion!

"Auntie, I'm really full, my stomach is about to burst, I really can't eat anymore!"

When the fifth cake was handed to him, Luo Fengtang tried his best to refuse.

"Half a child, eat a poor man, you are the right person to eat at your age! If you have one more cake, why can't you fit it? "Sun is still there to persuade.

Luo Fengtang turned his eyes for help to Yang Ruoqing, who was drinking water here.

Yang Ruoqing wiped the water stains from the corners of her mouth, and looked at Sun's behavior a little crying and laughing.

"Mother, I know you have good intentions, but this is not a duck cramming, you just follow Tang Lingzi!"

Yang Ruoqing spoke, and Sun had no choice but to give up.

However, he still wrapped the remaining few cornmeal tortillas in the bowl and stuffed them to Luo Fengtang.

"You take it, eat it when you're hungry on the road!"

……

The wheelbarrow was borrowed from Uncle Niu's family.

There are wooden shelves more than half a meter wide on the left and right sides of the bottom wheel for putting things.

With the same handlebars as a board car, the dirt roads in the countryside are a little bumpy.

A rope is tied to the front of the cart, and the rope is put around the waist of the cart person when the cart is pushed, so that the balance can be better maintained.

Four buckets of tofu, each on a wooden frame on either side.

Then use a hemp rope, wrap it around, tie it tightly, and you can go on the road.

"Qing'er, Tang Yanzi, be careful on the road, come home after delivering the tofu, don't delay!"

Sun sent them to the entrance of the village, gave them some advice, and then turned around and went back to the village.

Here, Tang Lingzi pushed a wheelbarrow and walked steadily on the country road.

Yang Ruoqing shook her hands and walked beside him, and the two of them walked towards Qingshui Town in the east with the rising sun......

From Changping Village to Qingshui Town, more than 30 miles.

Halfway through, you will pass a small forest with several forks in the road.

To the east to Qingshui Town, to the north to Wangjiang County, to the west...... Yang Ruoqing didn't know. To the south, it is to Mianniu Mountain.

"Tang Yanzi, it's still early, let's rest in the woods in front!"

Yang Ruoqing proposed.

The first time she carried a bunch of things with her fifth uncle Yang Huazhou to the town to catch the market, she didn't stop on the way.

Thirty miles of land, it's nothing!

However, Tang Lingzi was pushing a wheelbarrow, and there were more than 100 catties of tofu and water on the car.

The road conditions are not good, and he must be very tired of trying to maintain his balance!

Beside him, Luo Fengtang heard Yang Ruoqing's proposal and glanced sideways at her.

The girl's breath was a little unsteady, and her face was flushed.

He has good foot strength, and every time he used to carry dozens of pounds of beasts to the town, he arrived in one go.

She is a girl, and her foot strength must not be compared to his.

She must be tired!

Thinking of this, Luo Fengtang nodded: "Cheng, then let's rest!" ”

Put a rope around a stout tree, press down the handlebars of the wheelbarrow, and hold the wheels against the front and back of the wheels.

After finding such a clever balance, the tofu bucket does not need to be taken down, and the two of them can shake off their hands and rest.

Yang Ruoqing was sitting, Luo Fengtang was standing, and she took out a barrel container made of bamboo.

Peel off the bamboo lid on it, and the water inside is still warm.

"Tang Yanzi, drink saliva!"

Yang Ruoqing handed over the bamboo tube.

In the morning, I ate dry cakes, and after this long journey, my thirst was ironclad.

Sure enough, Luo Fengtang didn't think much about it, took the bamboo tube and poured two sips.

"Have you drunk yet? Or not? Yang Ruoqing asked with a smile.

Luo Fengtang shook his head: "I'm done." ”

He was about to put the lid back on his waist and pin the bamboo tube around his waist, when Yang Ruoqing suddenly took the bamboo tube back from his hand.
