Chapter 90 On the Road
When I came to the entrance of the village, not far from the big locust tree, an ox cart was waiting, and the driver was still an old acquaintance, Uncle Li, Li Datong.
"Brother Li has been waiting for a long time..."Yuan Dashuo saw this, so he hugged Yuan Cheng and smiled and walked over to say hello.
Li Datong turned around when he heard the sound, and hurriedly got out of the car and said with a smile: "No, no, I just arrived for a while." β
Yuan Man obediently called: "Uncle Li." β
Li Datong also squinted his eyes happily, answered, and teased: "How is the girl today?" β
The two of them used to sell herbs and knew each other well.
Yuan Man still smiled and nodded, Wen smiled embarrassedly, and then asked Yuan Wu Yuan to embroider Yuan Cheng and greet them, and said with a smile: "Call people quickly, why don't stupid children say hello to people?" β
Yuan Wu scratched his head with a smile and said, "Uncle Li." Yuan Xiu couldn't speak and just laughed, Yuan Cheng nestled in Yuan Dashuo's arms, hugged his father's neck, although he was a little uneasy, he still shouted in a small voice, "Uncle Li is good." β
Yuan Wu often comes out and walks around, Li Datong has seen it, but he has not seen other Yuan Xiu, Yuan Cheng and Wen Shi much, but he is a trader, he has the ability to see, and he knows that it is because of Ge's, so he doesn't say much, just beckons their family to get in the car and sit.
The carts were lined with hay mats, which were simply and haphazardly braided so that they would not spread out or get on people.
Yuan Man was carried by Wen on the ox cart, Yuan Xiu was the same, Yuan Wu got into the car by himself, Wen finally got into the car, after sitting firmly, Yuan Dashuo also handed Yuan Cheng to Wen, Wen hugged his youngest son in front of him, and told the other children to sit tight.
Yuan Dashuo placed his daughter-in-law and children well, and then he stepped over and sat on the ox cart.
"All seated? Okay! Then let's go! Li Datong laughed and shouted.
The Yuan family laughed happily, the attitude of the people in the village recently made the Wen family uneasy, and now she was more at ease when she saw that the people were not as terrible as she imagined.
If the whole village is really at odds with their Yuan family, then living in this kind of village is a kind of torment.
Fortunately, it didn't get to the worst.
The ox cart walked steadily on the mountain path, and the car rolled over the dirt road, and the town was on the other side of the mountain, so it was also a winding mountain road.
Talking more than once along the way, Li Datong was a talkative, able to speak, and soon became acquainted with the family, and even Yuan Cheng would talk to him.
"Uncle Li, is there a lot of sugar in town?" Children's words are always naΓ―ve, and the things they focus on are not too much eating and playing, and Yuan Cheng is no exception.
"Yes! What kind of sugar do you want, what kind of sugar you want! You can also draw candy men! There are also rock sugar gourds, bunches of red fruits wrapped in syrup, which are beautiful! Li Datong talked to Yuan Cheng with a smile, not impatient at all.
"Then I heard that there are people in the town who juggle and juggle! Up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire! Are these also true? β
Li Datong had just answered Yuan Cheng's words, and Yuan Wu here also asked curiously.
Because he often goes out, occasionally helps out in the fields, and the boys are more playful, he also learned from his peers in the village.
It's a pity that he didn't dare to go to the town with them, because his grandmother wouldn't let him, so he really didn't dare to go secretly as the children in the village said.
Because of this, his friends laughed at him for being guts, and later gradually became estranged from him.
Yuan Wu thought of this, his mood was a little low, he couldn't help it, Ge is not like the grandmothers of other families in the village, she is strict, and her temperament is bad, if she really finds out once, then he and his parents, brothers and sisters will suffer.
Yuan Wu had too many scruples, so he was restrained and did not dare to be presumptuous.
His emotions were only for a moment, and the words were covered up completely, so no one noticed.
"Yes! Both! Our town is not as good as other towns in the ravines, we are along the east side of the town by the Dongjiang River, and the west side is connected to the main official road! Whether it's transporting goods, or going north and south, it's very convenient! β
Li Datong was a little proud of the science, and the little whip was shaken.
"Yes, so there are a lot of people in our town, you have to follow your father and mother carefully in a while, and hold your hands well! Don't be photographed by the flowers! β
In the end, they are fathers and mothers, and the children are going out for the first time, so naturally they have to give some instructions.
"yes, yes, you'll have to keep up." Wen also echoed Yuan Dashuodao.
The four children heard their father's explanation, so they obediently agreed, and Yuan Man didn't dare to take it lightly, hearing that the flow of people in the popular science town was so large and so chaotic, of course he had to take care of his younger siblings.
"You don't need to be so afraid, the officials in our town don't eat rice, and if they want to mess up, it's also messy on the east dock of the town, and our fallen flowers are very safe!"
Li Datong began to talk about science popularization when he talked about this, he was a businessman, and he often walked around the town and the surrounding villages, so he knew more than ordinary people.
Yuan Man listened to popular science honestly, in the end, he wanted to live here, whether it was in the town or in the village, it was always good to know more about this place.
Then she learned from Uncle Li.
Yanjiang Town is a very old town, because it is close to the Dongjiang River, the transportation is convenient, and there are many passenger and cargo ships coming and going, so it has always been very prosperous.
The location separated by half a mountain from their Qingshan Village is the south of the town, and the area connecting the south of the town to the north of the town is collectively called Luohua, which is also an old place name known by the locals.
It is said that at the beginning, Yanjiang Town was not called Yanjiang Town, this is just a small village called Luohua, the number of people gradually expanded, and the scope of the village gradually expanded.
Yanjiang Town is very large and is mainly divided into several places.
To the north of the town are some old residential areas, which are the residences of some of the wealthy and noble men who seized the opportunity to make a fortune when the waterway was first opened.
The south of the town is also a large number of ordinary residential areas, with a large number of people, and the old and new houses are also densely packed, so there are also some small commercial streets to facilitate the daily needs of the residents here.
Castle Peak Village and nearby villagers also come here most often to buy and sell things.
The west side of the town is the official road, and there are endless mountains there, and near the official road are various farms of all sizes, which have been spreading to the west, and most of them belong to the family property in the name of the big men in the town, and there are one or two landlords' territories scattered together.
As for the east of the town, the economic zone of Yanjiang Town is near the wharf on the east side of the town, where the lights are bright, and even in the middle of the night, you can find many shops that are not closed, which can be said to be the most prosperous place.
In addition, the center of the town is a large bazaar, and many things can be harvested there, whether it is wholesale or going to Taobao shellfish.
All in all, this riverside town is indeed an amazing place!
