33. Take an ox cart home

After Song Lingxue came out of the bookstore, she silently calculated the copper plate in her hand, and spent more than 300 yuan, but she still sighed in her heart, this money was too unspent, and there was not much left in a blink of an eye.

Next, she didn't dare to spend it indiscriminately, and she had to save a few pennies to go home in an ox cart, otherwise she wouldn't be able to resist going back with so many things.

Now is not the time to be busy with farming, coupled with this year's drought, many farmers will do some handicrafts or take the eggs and vegetables at home or the wild things found in the mountains, and sell them in the town market for some rations, so the people with cattle will pull the ox cart every other day, and the single person is two cents, if they take something, it will also be according to the price of the thing, ranging from one penny to three pennies, but the days are also added to three pennies.

Song Lingxue roughly calculated the number and weight of the pieces she sold today, and she had to add three cents anyway, that is, five cents, and she could buy five miscellaneous grains, but when she thought that she didn't have to be tired of dragging a bunch of things like an animal and walking nearly twenty miles back, the little distress in her heart was gone.

Money can be earned again after it is spent, but it is difficult to recover when the body collapses. Song Lingxue comforted herself like this, and then went to the incense powder shop again, and spent ten yuan to buy a piece of soaphorn pancreas and a small bag of slightly fragrant bath beans, and then took the last six yuan and went to the cowshed in the west of the town.

There is an old widower named Yao Qiye in Yaojia Village, there is only one married daughter in the family, and he is too old to plant the fields, so he rents out the two acres of first-class land and two acres of mountain land in the family.

When Song Lingxue came over, Yao Qiye was setting up an ox cart and preparing to leave, no one came to the town today, he was worried that this trip was in vain, and when he turned around, he saw Song Lingxue with a large bag in his hand.

"Da Zhuang's family, are you going back to the village?" Yao Qiye asked with a smile, although Yang Lihua has a bad reputation in Yaojia Village, but he doesn't care, as long as he can earn a few copper coins, he doesn't care if it is Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Mazi who are in the car!

"Yes, Seventh Master, I have other things left in other people's stores, so I have to bother you to come with me to get them." Song Lingxue also smiled back and said.

Yao Qiye was stunned for a moment, when did this big Zhuang family become so polite and polite? However, he didn't think much about it, so he put on the cow cage hood, and while setting up the ox cart to turn the direction, he let Song Lingxue sit up and asked: "There are a lot of things, it is estimated that I will have to occupy half of your ox cart alone, but I only have six wen in my hand, and the seven masters are too little!" ”

The reason why Song Lingxue had more money than usual was because she had bought a lot of things today, and she still wanted to ask the Seventh Master to send her to the door, so she naturally had an enthusiastic attitude.

"Look at what you said, they are all from the villagers, and the Seventh Master is the kind of person who is not close to people?" Yao Qiye obviously didn't expect her to become so polite, and smiled heartily: "It's okay, no one today, as long as our car can be put down, you can put it full, and you will be charged five Wen, this is the market, don't want more than one point Seven Masters." ”

Song Lingxue, who said in two sentences, was very proud in her heart, and couldn't help but praise in her heart, this seventh master is an understanding and knowledgeable person, and he is worthy of friendship in the future.

"Okay, then you're welcome." Song Lingxue smiled brightly, took out the last few copper plates, left only one, and gave the remaining five to the Seventh Master.

Then the ox cart began to walk slowly towards the street, first to the grain shop, put the bags on the cart board, and then to the embroidery shop of the horse lady, and put the sack of cloth in the cart.

Yao Qiye sped up a little, drove the ox cart out of the town, and staggered on the country road back to Yaojia Village.

Song Lingxue was alone in the car, which should have been very loose, but the pile of things she bought also accounted for more than half of the position, so she could only sit sideways on the frame, her legs drooping, and swaying back and forth with the slight bumps of the ox cart.

Before I knew it, another day had passed, and it was almost dusk, and half of the sunset was buried in the horizon, leaving the western half of the sky orange sunset.

In the early morning, in order to prevent the sun from rising and panicking, she hurried away, and the sky was still a little hazy, so she didn't pay much attention to the scenery of the countryside.

Now sitting leisurely on the ox cart, the seven masters didn't speak, and Song Lingxue was also happy.

The evening breeze has its own coolness, blowing from far and near, she dangles her legs, and under the loose half-step skirt is a loose wide-legged culottes, and there are wisps of cool breeze into the trouser legs, making the whole person cool.

At this time, the mood is relaxed and happy, that is, carefully admiring the scenery of the countryside, the mountains and fields are staggered, although it has not rained for several months, the green in the field is mixed with some slight yellow, but it is even more beautiful.

The wheat in the field has already tasseled, the buds have also formed cobs, the sorghum stalks have been knotted, and the soybeans on the field have just bloomed, and they need to pinch the sprouts and weed, and in two days it will be their turn to carry water to water the ground, and the men of the family will dig ditches, and they will watch their women.

Thinking of this, Song Lingxue was in no mood to look at the scenery again, the original owner was not only good at lip service, but also the number one who worked in the field, and followed Yao Dazhuang's father and son to work in the field together, hoeing the ground and dragging the grass to loosen the soil and water the ground, which was not much worse than them at all.

Even where there are edible wild things and wild fruits on the mountain, which bamboo shoots sprout in the bamboo forest after the rain, and which old tree grows edible mushrooms, she knows everything well, and can run to her basket before anyone else, and then take it to the town to exchange money.

It can be said that in addition to the search, the money in her hand has also been accumulated bit by bit.

Song Lingxue admires these very much, but she will not agree with such a way of making money, not to mention that she has to lose herself, the key is that she can't make much money, eat a few meals of white rice, white noodles and meat and it will be gone, as a modern person who eats and wears carefree life, this is simply unbearable for her.

But she will have to endure at least for a while, unless she can earn money quickly and improve the quality of life of the Yao family, she will naturally get more.

Thinking of this, she glanced at the seven masters who were driving the car safely in front of her, moved her body again, sat inside, and simply leaned on the sack that packed the cloth, and after making sure that she was safe and would not fall, she closed her eyes and entered the space.
