Chapter 19: Departure
However, Ye Erya had been with the Lu family once, and that was because the Lu family needed her to help carry things. Ye Dafu has to work again, so he can't go, Ye Daya is lame, and the Lu family can't look down on it, not to mention the youngest Ye Bao'er, the Lu family is worried that he will go to the town to eat or be tired and have to be carried.
"Eldest sister, do you want to go to the town today to sell herbs?" Hearing Ye Xuanxuan's inquiry, Ye Erya looked at the sky and said.
"Well, it's still early. If it's not far from town, let's go back as soon as possible! Ye Xuanxuan said with certainty.
She had to go out once today, and just in time to inquire about the price of the herbs. If there is really a profit, then it will have to be sold in the future.
After all, no one dares to pick a whole mountain of medicinal herbs! Qixian Mountain is their blessed land.
Ye Erya frowned, "Eldest sister, the town is not far away, and you can reach it in an hour and a half by walking." But your legs. Saying this, Ye Erya looked at her worriedly.
Ye Xuanxuan was also stunned when she heard this, thought for a while and said, "Aren't there often donkey carts and ox carts in the village? I remember that Grandpa Liu in the village often drove ox carts to the town, so let's hurry up and go out and see if we can get a ride! After speaking, he raised his hand and combed his hair, and then pulled Ye Bao'er, who was excited and expectant, and straightened his clothes.
He turned around and began to carefully pack up the medicinal herbs and put them in the bamboo back basket, thought about it, loaded the remaining potatoes, and grabbed the wild vegetables he picked on top and spread them flat. It looks like you're going to the town to sell wild vegetables, and even if you have good deeds, it's not a big problem.
Ye Erya saw that Ye Xuanxuan had to go, so she had to give up.
Looking at the yard, Ye Erya quickly grabbed the material and fed the chickens, and then went to the kitchen to take the pig food that had been prepared a long time ago to the pigsty and feed the pigs. Originally, she was going to feed them later, but she didn't know how long she would go, so she didn't worry that the yard would have to feed the livestock earlier.
In fact, Ye Erya wanted to go to the mountain pass again, and she also thought that the eldest sister would take them to the mountain pass in the afternoon to find food and herbs.
It's just that I didn't expect that the eldest sister wanted to go to town.
But she is also looking forward to going to town, after all, they are still children, and they all have a playful and curious heart.
After Ye Erya cleaned up, she took the initiative to carry the bamboo basket, and Ye Xuanxuan was helped by Ye Bao'er.
After locking the door, the three of them went to the village where they were waiting for the bus.
Every day in Yejia Village, the villagers who need to go to the town or the ox cart and donkey cart that pulls the cart gather at the entrance of the village, and set off after the cart is full.
At this point in time, the villagers are all in the field, and few people need to go to the town. They usually like to take an ox cart to the town in the morning, come back in the afternoon to eat, and work in the fields in the afternoon.
Sure enough, before the three of them reached the entrance of the village, they saw only an ox cart parked there, and Grandpa Liu, who was driving the car, was not in the car.
Ye Erya hesitated even more as she got closer and closer, she was very embarrassed. After all, the ox cart is to give copper plates, and none of them have copper plates on them. Ye Erya looked at Ye Xuanxuan worriedly.
Ye Xuanxuan also knew that she had to pay for the car, but she didn't have a penny on her now. But if you sell the herbs, you have it! It was the first time she sold something in ancient times, and she was still full of confidence.
As soon as he approached, Grandpa Liu heard footsteps and turned his head. When they saw that it was the three children of Ye Dafu's family, they were first stunned, and their eyes were full of surprise.
"Three babies, are they going to town?" Although Grandpa Liu was curious, he was also smiling, and after asking, he didn't say much, and moved a position that was enough for one person to go up.
Ye Xuanxuan had never seen this kind of ox cart, it was completely open, and there was no shed. The structure is also simple, with round piles that can be pulled on both sides, and wooden planks in the middle, which is a simple two-wheeled cart. The ox cart was also not very large, and could only seat six people.
Ye Xuanxuan didn't go up after listening to Grandpa Liu's words, looked at Grandpa Liu and said, "Grandpa Liu, our three sisters and brothers want to go to the town to sell something, I don't know how much you pay for an oxcart to pull a person?" After speaking, the three of them all looked at Grandpa Liu.
In other words, Grandpa Liu was stunned by what she asked, thought about it and said, "You all come up!" Grandpa Liu pulled you there, don't want copper plates. After speaking, she motioned to Ye Bao'er to help her sister up.
In fact, Grandpa Liu also knows the difficulties of his three children. Although there is a father who loves them, but after all, that one is the stepmother, and life must be difficult. And every time I see three children working, even the youngest Ye Baoer knows how to help. He is also a person with grandchildren, and he likes to look at such an obedient and sensible child. It's more about sympathizing with them.
Seeing that they didn't come up for a long time, Grandpa Liu was also surprised.
If ordinary villagers or children hear that they don't use copper plates, they must immediately drill into it. He was impressed by the three children, but he was a good boy who kept manners!
"Child, don't worry, what Grandpa Liu said is true, I really don't want your money. Come on! After saying that, he got up and got down and let the three children get better.
Ye Xuanxuan looked at such an old man, and her heart warmed. It seems that there are still many simple and kind people in this world. Looking at the old man's appearance, he should pity them!
Thinking like this, she is not hypocritical, as long as she sells the money, she will immediately make up for the car money.
After all, she also saw that Grandpa Liu's hair was gray, and the clothes on his body were also washed white, and there were some patches. Come to think of it, the life of Grandpa Liu's family is not easy!
After Ye Xuanxuan was helped by her younger siblings to get into the ox cart, she reached out and pulled the two of them up.
After seeing that they were already seated, Grandpa Liu, who was driving the car, shouted: "Good sitting!" Let's go! After saying that, he flicked the bullwhip and set off.
The ox cart was very slow, but according to the footsteps of their three siblings, they couldn't get to the town, mainly because of Ye Xuanxuan's legs. If the legs can walk normally, it doesn't take much effort to get to the town, but it's a pity that there is no money to treat the legs now, and the other two small ones who support Ye Xuanxuan can't walk fast.
In the afternoon, under the high sun, the ox cart drove slowly into the town.
At first, it was a country yellow earth road, and not far from the town, the ox cart drove up another avenue. The road was flat and wide, enough for six ox carts to walk side by side. Grandpa Liu looked at their strange eyes and smiled, and told them: "This is the official road of our Xianzhi Town, we will go to the town soon." ”
The road from the village to the town is first the village road, and then the official road.
After chatting casually for a while, the ox cart entered the town.
I saw a tall and majestic city gate standing at the exit of the official road. For Ye Erya and Ye Bao'er's big eyes, they are naturally tall and majestic, Ye Xuanxuan has seen the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the ancient city of Xi'an, etc., so the city wall gate of such a small town naturally can't shock her.
