"Sister, you sit here, I'll sit here." Su gently pushed Su Qingqing to Gu Yunyu's side, and sat down with Su Qingqing.

She sat on the other side of Su Qingqing.

Who knows, Chen Jiu said, "Oh, you three adults can't all sit in the back of the car, the cow can't pull it, and the back of the car can only sit lightly." ”

Mu Jinyan, who understands mechanics, said, "Uncle Nine is right, Yingying sits in the middle, let Huzi sit in the back of the car, he is small." ”

Huzi yawned, climbed to the back of the car and sat down.

The rear of the car was wide, allowing him to lie down and sleep half-curled up.

Huzi is very satisfied with the location.

In this way, Su Qing had to sit next to Gu Yunyu.

She jumped out of the car on the spot and refused to sit down.

Su Qingqing's face was calm, "Okay, don't make trouble, among the people in this car, the three of you are the lightest, you don't sit in the back of the car, who will sit in the car?" ”

Su looked at the cart of people gently, Chen Jiu and his son were strong, and they were at the front of the ox cart pressing the cart.

In the middle sat Su Qingqing and Mu Jinxing.

At the back of the car are her, Gu Yunyu and Huzi.

And Huzi is the smallest and has already laid down, so she has to sit next to Gu Yunyu.

This young man has a strange temper, and he is a so-called genius boy, and she is a scumbag.

In her life, she was overwhelmed by her sister and brother-in-law, but she didn't want to deal with any other talented students.

That would make her look rubbish.

Besides, this Gu Yunyu's mouth is very poisonous when he speaks.

She's better to stay away.

"Ah Xing is shorter than him, and he is even thinner, why does Ah Xing sit in the middle and he sits in the back of the car?" Su Qingqing found a problem.

"I only sit in the back of the car, and I don't like to look at other people's backs." Gu Yunyu said coldly.

Su raised her eyebrows slightly, "Yo, this is not your carriage, you are still picky?" ”

"It's not your carriage either!" Gu Yunyu sneered at each other.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing, do you want to rush to the market?" Su lightly pressed Su lightly to the back of the car and sat down.

Su gently sat on a needle carpet, but also had to sit down.

Everyone sat down, Chen Jiu waved at Mu Jinyan, who saw him off, and drove the ox cart forward.

"Go back and look at the children, Xianggong." Su Qingqing also waved at Mu Jinyan.

Wake up early, too late to make breakfast.

She and Su went to the market together, and the two people who could cook at home were not at home, and I didn't know if Mu Jinyan would arrange the other four small meals.

"I'll be optimistic about them, Yingying don't worry." Mu Jinyan said very surely.

The ox cart walked slowly, and gradually, the light of the light in front of Mu's house disappeared.

Su Qingqing quietly took out the pocket watch in the space to look at the time, it was a quarter past four in the morning.

According to the speed of the ox cart, it is estimated that it will arrive at more than five o'clock in the morning.

The village is rugged, and the old cow is still pulling 7 people, and he can't walk fast, and the speed of people is about the same, but on this hot day, people can walk and eat, and the old cow has this endurance.

Getting up too early, Su Qingqing became sleepy.

In order not to let himself doze off, Su Qingqing chatted with Chen Jiu about family life.

Chen Jiu told her that the local Bison Ridge is the 15th day of the Lunar New Year, and the other five days are small markets.

The Jiming Ridge next door is staggered with the days of the Bison Ridge market, every month is every 369 small market, and every 3rd and 19th is the big market.

The two townships are also far apart, separated by more than ten miles, and the market days are staggered, so that those who rely on buying and selling mountain goods can often rush to the market to do business.

Today is the first day of the new year, and it is the big market day in Bison Ridge Township.

Su Qingqing saw that on the road leading to the township market, there were villages walking by from time to time.

or carrying a burden, or riding a donkey, or driving an ox cart, or a mule cart.

The only thing that was not driven by a carriage or a horse rode showed that horses were not very popular in the village.

Su Qingqing asked Chen Jiu, "Uncle Jiu, I almost didn't see any horses along the way." ”

Chen Jiudao, "Horses are expensive and not easy to raise, they are only suitable for running, but not for farm work." Donkeys are the cheapest, oxen have the most strength, and mules have more strength than horses. ”

He then spoke about the prices of the three types of livestock, which are common in the village.

"Ten years ago, there was no war in the Northland, and the price of cattle was not expensive, just like horses. The cheap ones are twenty taels, the expensive ones are forty taels, and later, I don't know what year it began, the price of cows has risen sharply, and now the price of cows is sixty taels, and cows are eighty taels a head.

“……”

"The price of horses is more expensive, the cheap ones are about 30 taels, and the expensive ones are hundreds of taels, and ordinary people can't afford them. Only donkeys that are not good at running and have little strength have not increased in price, ten taels to twenty-one heads more than ten years ago, and now the cheapest little donkey is ten taels and one heads, young female donkeys are thirty or two heads, and young male donkeys are twenty or two heads. The price of a mule is cheaper than that of a cow or a horse and a little more expensive than a donkey because of the strength of the mule. ”

Su Qingqing counted his money.

In addition to the wages for building the house, and the expenses of these days, she still has eighty taels left.

However, what she said to her family was that there were still twenty-nine taels left.

This money can be used to buy a donkey or a mule.

Su Qingqing chatted with Chen Jiu, and the others either listened quietly or dozed off.

For example, Chen Jiu's son leaned on the handrail of the cart and fell asleep.

Mu Jinxing was sleeping leaning on Chen Jiu's son.

Huzi was just over five years old, not to mention, he fell asleep when he got into the car.

He was small, curled up in the back of the car.

Sue gently hugged her knees and dozed off from time to time.

Only Gu Yunyu is in the best spirit, and he took advantage of the faint light of the torch on the front of the oxcart to take out the book in his sleeve from time to time to read a few sentences, and then memorized it quietly.

Su Qingqing, who was sitting next to him, was curious about what book he was reading, and when he closed the book, Su gently looked at the cover of the book and read, "Xiweiwu......, what kind of book is this?" ”

Gu Yunyu couldn't help but tugging at the corners of her lips, "This is "West Sign", not Xi Weiwu!" Are you illiterate? ”

Su lightly widened his eyes, "This is obviously Xiweiwu, how can it be Xizheng Fu?" Who are you coaxing? ”

Gu Yunyu looked at her like a fool, turned her head, and ignored her again.

Su Qingqing, who only has a first year of junior high school education, but has poor grades to the point of only one place in his homework, feels that his self-esteem has been insulted.

She pulled Su Qingqing in front of her, "Sister, you come to recognize these three words!" ”

Su Qingqing turned around and saw that on the cover of the book in Gu Yunyu's hand, the words "Western Signs" were impressively printed.

The sign is written in ancient times.

The modern way of writing is: levy endowment, and the three words are "Western Expedition Fu"

"Those three words are the West Expedition Fu", gently." Su shook her head speechlessly.

My little sister doesn't like to study, look, it's embarrassing in front of the top students, right?

I actually mispronounced the word!

Three words wrong!
