Chapter 55: Ride the Ox Cart to the Market
"Oh~~~" The crowing of the rooster under the mountain sounded faintly one after another.
Gu Nanshan opened his eyes, looked at the sky outside through the window, listened to the long and shallow breathing of his wife beside him, and reached out to pat her back.
"Wake up."
"......" Ye Qing was still snoring.
Gu Nanshan looked at his wife in front of him and remembered that since she fell into the water, although her attitude towards him was much better than when she first got married, it could be said that she was caring.
But......
She always carried him sideways when she slept every night.
This posture silently shows her inner alienation and wariness of him.
There was a moment of silence.
Gu Nanshan saw that he couldn't wake her up, so he slightly increased the force in his hand and said, "...... Daughter-in-law, wake up, it's almost dawn, didn't you say you were going to the market today? ”
As soon as he heard the word "catch up", Ye Qing opened his eyes with a brush, and reflexively turned over and sat up, and the whole person was still stunned and was about to get out of bed: "Oh no~~~ Did I oversleep?" ”
"Don't worry, it's just dawning, and it's time." Gu Nanshan's voice was low, unhurried, with the magic of calming people's hearts.
When Ye Qing, who was in a panic, heard him say this, and then looked at the sky outside, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and patted his chest in fear: "Fortunately, you called me." ”
After speaking.
Ye Qing put on the stiff and grinding straw sandals, and rushed out of the house and into the kitchen.
After lighting the oil lamp made of rapeseed oil, washing his face and rinsing his mouth in the dim light, he took the oil lamp and entered the bedroom again, and took out the set of toiletries belonging to Gu Nanshan from the space.
"Nanshan, you also hurry up and wash up, and wait for us to have breakfast together."
"Hmm."
Gu Nanshan held a toothbrush in one hand and a transparent plastic water cup in the other, and began to brush his teeth with a somewhat rusty movement.
Ye Qing put the old wooden basin he had received from the old mansion next to the bed, so that he could spit out his mouthwash.
Wait for Gu Nanshan to finish washing.
Ye Qing took out the steaming steamed buns from the space, poured two cups of hot boiling water from the thermos kettle, and the two of them ate the steamed buns and boiling water.
Hurriedly finished breakfast.
Ye Qing took three white-flour steamed buns out, and gave them to Gu Nanshan with a thermos cup filled with boiling water.
"You will make do with it at noon, and when I come back in the afternoon, I will make you delicious tamales in the evening......
"Okay." Gu Nanshan: She really coaxed him like a child!
Ye Qing looked at the thermos water cup, and said with some worry: "If you hear Xiao Hei's cry outside the house, you should quickly hide these things, especially the water cup, don't let people find out." ”
"I'll be careful, don't worry." Gu Nanshan nodded solemnly.
Ye Qing walked out of the door.
told Xiao Hei to take care of his family, and left two steamed buns for Xiao Hei for lunch, and then rushed down the mountain with money and silver.
。。。。。。
The town of Dalianghekou is located at the confluence of two large rivers.
"Aunt Liu, Aunt Fu, how long will it take to get to the town?" Ye Qing sat on the flatbed ox cart with the two aunts and asked curiously.
The original owner in his memory has never been to the town once since he was a child.
Like Gu Nanshan, he is also a poor little man who doesn't hurt his parents, and he has been soaked in bitter water since he was a child.
Everyone on the ox cart heard Ye Qing's words.
Some people pouted their lips with disdain, their faces were full of superiority, and they scolded in their hearts - soil buns.
There is also compassion in the hearts of the people.
Aunt Liu and Aunt Fu glanced at Ye Qing distressedly.
"The distance from Gujia Village to Dalianghekou Town is about thirty-five miles, and it takes nearly an hour and a half to walk without stopping."
“?” Closer to an hour and a half, isn't that close to three hours?
Ye Qing felt that his legs began to weaken at the thought that it would take him so long to walk.
Mrs. Yu, who was sitting on the ox cart behind Ye Qing, saw Ye Qing and Aunt Liu Fu smiling happily, and her lowered eyes were full of resentment.
Sneered in my heart.
Laugh!
When you get to the town in a while, Ye, you slut, probably won't be able to laugh anymore.
The old lady can't clean you up now.
Some people can clean you up as a scourge slut......
