The next day. Before dawn, Ning Qingxi was pulled out of the hot bed by her grandmother.

She slept in a daze and stared at her hair like a little madman, and hurriedly put the quilt back on, and a muttering voice came from the quilt, "Milk, let me sleep for a while." ”

Wang Xiujuan stopped moving, "Then you can think about it." We're going to the county, so it's up to you to decide whether you want to go or not. "It's such a cold day, if Ning Qingxi didn't want to go by herself, Wang Xiujuan also wanted to let her stop going. Anyway, you can go when the weather is warm in spring.

Ning Qingxi listened and rolled around with the quilt, exposed his head from the quilt, and barely opened his eyes, "Are you going so early?" It's not even dawn yet. ”

"It takes three hours to walk from here to the county, and it takes us more than an hour to take an ox cart, so why not early?"

"This ox cart is not our own, the time has to be determined by others." There are a lot of people going to the county today, and it just so happens that the village chief's son is also going, and everyone is partnering with the village chief's family to go to the county with his ox cart, and they can save a penny or two.

Ning Qingxi resigned himself to his fate after a few minutes. Now she is proficient in wearing these ancient clothes. After getting up and cleaning up, she washed with the hot water that Fang Chunmei boiled next to her while cooking. After eating, it was not yet dawn.

"Today I will go to the county with Evergreen Xixi, and tomorrow I will change you, there can be no one at home." Wang Xiujuan and Ning Qingxi made a lot of chilblain cream, and occasionally two or three people from the village would come to buy it.

Fang Chunmei gave up after going to her mother's house once, and sold it in the village every day. Li Dafeng is selling well.

Ning Laosan smiled and said, "Okay, mother, you and your eldest brother and Xixi can rest assured." With me and my second brother watching at home, there is no problem. ”

By the time Ning Qingxi and her father and grandmother arrived, most of them had gone to the meeting point at the entrance of the village, and they were all people who were going to the county to buy things together.

After the village chief's daughter-in-law saw the last person coming, she beckoned everyone, "Let's get in the car." Everyone is here, let's go! ”

After Ning Changrong got into the ox cart, he pulled Ning Qingxi and his mother up, and found a better position for the two of them, sheltered from the wind, and it was not so bumpy. put a lot of straw under the buttocks of the grandparents and grandchildren, and put some under their seats, the three of them sat in rows, and Ning Changrong sat on the outside to shield them from the wind.

He has been to the county seat so many times, and the ox cart has not been less, and he knows exactly what the situation is on this road.

The people in the car praised it when they saw it.

"Evergreen is really filial."

"Evergreen really loves her daughter."

Ning Changrong smiled at everyone in response.

Wang Xiujuan took out a piece of cloth and surrounded her and Ning Qingxi's upper bodies, and the two leaned together with their heads together.

Ning Changrong also brought an extra piece of clothing to cover his head, so as not to give him a headache from the wind.

The appearance of the family is not abrupt in the car, and the others are similar, all trying to wrap their heads around their necks and shrink their bodies.

Sitting on the ox cart, Ning Qingxi felt the wooden wheel swaying on the dirt road, and panicked, "Milk, this is black and numb, can the cow see the road clearly?" ”

Before Wang Xiujuan could speak, the village chief's daughter-in-law laughed when she heard it, "My cow is not missing this road, Xixi can rest assured." I can't fall, and if I fall, I'm an aunt. ”

Ning Qingxi smiled a little embarrassed at the village chief's daughter-in-law, and smiled embarrassedly.

Wang Xiujuan also smiled kindly at the village elder and daughter-in-law, rubbing against other people's cars. There should be no less courtesy.

The village chief's family also had to go out by themselves, so they confiscated the big guy's money. If you deliberately borrow an ox cart from his family, you have to collect some hard-earned money from the cattle depending on the time.

What Ning Qingxi said before was heard and ridiculed, and when he talked to Wang Xiujuan again, he lowered his voice, and the two of them whispered in the dark cloth and didn't know what they were talking about.

The people in the ox cart were amazed, the village could get along with their granddaughter so well, and it was the first time that they could take their granddaughter like this.

Thinking that if it were to be replaced by himself, he would be revived by his granddaughter before he died of illness, and maybe he would be able to love his granddaughter like Mrs. Wang. Ning Qingxi woke up too early, whispered with her grandmother for a while and fell asleep, leaning on her shoulder and half asleep.

Ning Changrong sat outside the two of them and closed his eyes to recuperate, he was not sleepy when he got used to it.

The people in the car saw that the family was asleep and subconsciously lowered the volume.

"Evergreen is really calm, this business has been robbed and he is still in the mood to go to the county."

"Someone stole my craft, I have to be in a hurry and can't sleep."

"Your son got another job today?"

"Yes. However, it is only sixty wen for a fire kang, and a few people can't share much money. ”

"It's all to blame for those who killed a thousand knives, otherwise we would have made a good profit. I'm thinking about how much more meat I can cut this year to make dumplings. ”

"These immoral things will be punished sooner or later!"

The people in the car finally quieted after scolding for half an hour and being tired, and there was only the creaking sound of the wooden wheels on the road when they came into contact with the ground.

It was the eldest son of the village chief who drove the car, and when he saw the three big characters of Taixi County, he shouted: "It's at the county gate." ”

A group of people in the car immediately cheered up.

Wang Xiujuan moved the position of her buttocks, and she was numb from sitting for so long, "Mom, it's done, it's really not easy to come back and forth." "Her son Ning Changrong came on his legs most of the time before, how much sin does this have to suffer?

Ning Qingxi yawned and touched his tears, "Dad, this is Taixi County?" ”

I think the city walls are too low! It's just two or three floors.

The ox cart gradually approached the city gate, and the soldiers at the gate could be vaguely seen shouting at the people.

One person in the car paid a penny for the toll, and gave it to the village chief's son to the soldiers at the city gate, and some families didn't know that the city began to collect tolls.

At this time, he sighed and patted his legs, muttering that he knew that the trustee could buy it.

The village chief's family also gave an extra two cents because of the ox cart.

After collecting the money, the village chief's son jumped out of the ox cart and bent down to hand over the copper plate. "Official. This is our entrance fee to Xiayuan Village. The ox cart added two pennies. ”

The soldier at the gate of the city weighed the copper coins, counted the heads, looked at the people in the car, raised his hand, and said, "Come in, come in." Hurry up and don't delay the people behind you into the city. ”

"Okay, okay. Drive. The eldest son of the village quickly sat back on the handle of the cart, carried the ox cart and quickly passed through the city gate, looking for a place to put the ox cart before everyone got out of the car.

The daughter-in-law of the village chief instructed everyone, "Let's go shopping." In the afternoon, we will gather here and return to the village, if anyone forgets the time, the car will not wait. ”

Ning Changrong's family thanked the people in the village who wanted to go shopping with them, and walked alone on the street.

Ning Qingxi thought about the scene at the gate of the city, "It's so expensive." If you come here, you don't do anything, and you don't have a penny. "She made a bottle of chilblain cream with her grandmother at home and only made a penny.
