Chapter 19: I'm Going to Town

Mr. Li and Mrs. Yao were discussing the problem of wild ginseng, they didn't understand the preservation method of this thing, they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to sell it if they delayed the time, but the field was also a big deal, and they couldn't be delayed, and finally Li Lanxi volunteered to sell it, Mrs. Yao was naturally not at ease, but Li Lanxi had to go to the town, and she still wanted to buy some medicine by the way, so there was a patient on Cangling Mountain.

Under Li Lanxi's soft grinding and hard bubbles, Mrs. Yao had no way at all, and finally agreed to go with Li Lanxi and Li Xiaohua, and the two of them had a companion.

Of course, Li Xiaohua's role is to take care of Li Lanxi, but Mrs. Yao is ruthless, if something happens to Li Lanxi, Li Xiaohua can't be solved with a beating.

Li Xiaohua was both happy and nervous, this was her second time in town, the first time was several years ago, and she almost couldn't remember what the town looked like.

However, seeing Mrs. Yao's fierce appearance, she was a little scared, she was only punished for kneeling today, but she can't have any more accidents, she will definitely keep an eye on her aunt and don't let her have an accident. The joy of being able to go to the town filled her heart, Li Xiaohua couldn't wait to get up, and hurried back to find out which clothes were cleaner and neater, and she would wear them tomorrow.

The other children also looked at Li Xiaohua's back with envy, in fact, they also wanted to go, but they knew that they couldn't go even if they mentioned it, so they didn't speak, but they began to think about the lively atmosphere in the town.

When they went to bed at night, Old Man Li and Mrs. Yao whispered in the house.

"You said that this third child is a little strange lately," Mrs. Yao asked with some confusion.

Old Man Li took off his clothes and lay on the bed, heard and pondered for a while, and said, "There is something wrong, and I am absent-minded at work, I don't know what is going on, you take the time to ask."

Mrs. Yao sighed, "The third child is also stubborn, and he can't blame us, it's him who admits death, and he blames that cheap hoof..., if it weren't for ......"

As she spoke, Mrs. Yao couldn't help but be angry.

At the beginning, Mrs. Yao was looking at the girl who was diligent and honest, so she found someone to give it, but who knew that the girl thought that their family was poor and unwilling to live or die, and then she quit her family, and everyone in the village knew about it.

Since then, Li Laosan has spoken, and no one can interfere in the future, the daughter-in-law must choose by herself, this choice, a few years have passed, the boys in the village have been married since they were sixteen or seventeen, and Li Laosan is twenty years old, and he is still playing singles.

Of course, there is also a part of the family that is poor and can't afford the bride price, ordinary people, poor, want to find a good woman with better conditions, and also want to find a better one, an older leftover man like Li Laosan, whose family background is not very good, is not easy to find.

There are also those who are poor in the family who can't open the pot, and they are willing to marry their daughters without a bride price, but Li Laosan is stubborn again, don't look at him who usually doesn't talk much, he is very assertive about marrying a daughter-in-law, one will say that others are black, and the other will say that others are ugly, and I don't know if it is true or false.

Early the next morning, when the sky was still bright, Li Xiaohua got up and knocked softly on the door outside Li Lanxi's house.

"Auntie, it's ..... get up."

"Hey, good.... Get up right away".

Li Lanxi hurriedly touched the black and got dressed, this girl is too early, it's all black.

When Li Lanxi got dressed, she asked Li Xiaohua to help tie a ponytail, her hair was too long, and she really didn't know how to tie her hair, she usually helped with Mrs. Yao, but now she can only let Li Xiaohua help.

The two of them washed their faces with a basin of cold water in the kitchen in the dark, and washed up indiscriminately.

Mrs. Yao was not very relieved, and she also got up in the dark and told her.

"Be careful on the road, wait for Uncle Niu's ox cart at the entrance of the village, whether you can sell it for money in the town, don't talk to strangers when you meet them, come back early, if you sell for money, put the money away, carry the eggs well, and eat them on the road for a while."

Mrs. Yao put two hard-boiled eggs into Li Lanxi's arms, which she cooked last night, so she kept them for her to eat in the morning.

Thinking about it, he went into the house again, counted fifty copper coins, put them in a purse, and took them out for Li Lanxi to carry.

"Put this away, don't drop it, buy what you want to eat, and don't eat what strangers give, so as not to encounter a kidnapper...",

Thinking about it, it seems that she is still not very relieved, and Mrs. Yao's brows are tightened.

Li Lanxi hurriedly responded, reassuring her, "Mother, don't worry, I know, don't worry about me, I'm smart."

Mrs. Yao smiled angrily, "Yes, you are the smartest, of course our daughter is smart, okay, go, otherwise it will be late, remember to come back early, my mother will wait for you to have lunch, remember to take a ride back when you come back, don't walk."

Li Lanxi nodded, hugged Mrs. Yao, and waved away with the basket on her back, "Mother, I know, I'm leaving, you go into the house and sleep more, it's not dawn yet."

The two of them came to the big tree at the head of the village in the dark, and there were already two or three women waiting for a ride, all of them were in the same village, everyone knew each other, and they were all chattering quietly.

Li Lanxi took out an egg from his arms and handed it to Li Xiaohua, "Oh, one for each person."

Li Xiaohua was pleasantly surprised, this, this is for her? But she still didn't answer, and shook her head, "Auntie, this is milk for you, you eat, I'm not hungry."

Li Lanxi directly put the egg in her hand, this child, she can eat it if she wants, and she pretends to be an adult, which is not cute.

"Eat for you, eat slowly, we don't bring water, be careful of choking" Li Lanxi did not allow her to refuse.

Li Xiaohua took the egg, touched it carefully, and saw that Li Lanxi really gave it to her, so she slowly peeled the shell, this is an egg, she hasn't eaten it for a long time, it smells delicious, but it's a pity that Xiaoduo is not there, otherwise she can give her half of it, and she has a little more good impression of Li Lanxi in her heart, she was actually jealous of Li Lanxi before, and even disliked her a little, but recently, unconsciously, she seems to think that her aunt is really good, and after she goes back, she will also tell Xiaoduo that her aunt is very good.

Li Lanxi didn't know that he had such an egg, so he bought Li Xiaohua, and after the two finished eating the eggs, Uncle Niu's ox cart also came.

Several women got into the car first, Li Lanxi and Li Xiaoduo also climbed up, and the woman who loved to joke smiled and said, "Xi girl, do you have to give double money for this weight, otherwise Uncle Niu will lose."

Li Lanxi smiled, knowing that this woman was not malicious, so she jokingly said, "If Uncle Niu is willing to accept it, I will definitely be willing to give it, Grandpa Niu, what do you say?"

"That's not going to happen, don't worry, girl, you just weigh another hundred pounds, and I won't take much uncle" Uncle Niu replied with a smile.

The women saw Li Lanxi speak generously, a little puzzled, they knew her, Li Lanxi didn't know her in the village, because she was the only big fat girl in their village, as long as she said the fat girl, they all knew that it was her, but it is said that this child has a good temper, the family is very spoiled, pampered, I don't know who it was last time, just because she said that she was fat, she jumped into the river, how can she be as generous as now.

Li Lanxi doesn't care about this, they look at her, she also looks at them, she doesn't feel that she should be inferior because she is fat.

Li Xiaohua stayed nervously, paying attention to Li Lanxi from time to time, for fear that she would be angry, and seeing that Li Lanxi did not react, she was relieved.

Uncle Niu saw that no one was coming, so he flicked the whip and let everyone sit firmly, and the ox cart left the village.
