Even if Xiao Youfu had been prepared, he couldn't help but grit his teeth: "The mule cart was originally forty taels?" That's too much? ”

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Today's mule carts are sold for sixty-five taels, this is a mess, everything is rising, and it is our people who suffer." ”

When Xiao Xiao heard what he said, he understood that there was no possibility of a counteroffer.

However, his family has a thin foundation, and he has bought a mule cart, so I am afraid that there will be no money left.

Hey, she decided to practice bows and arrows diligently after she went back, and she could also do chivalrous acts on the road, and also earn some extra money by the way.

"These three horses and mules are very strong, physically stronger than donkeys and mules, docile in temperament, and live longer than horses and donkeys."

"As long as the horses and mules are well fed and rested, they can pull about a thousand catties and walk seventy or eighty miles a day."

In the end, they spent sixty taels on a sturdy mule, and another six taels for the simplest carriage.

The shopkeeper gave some extra oilcloth and two large bags of feed, and also whispered: "Since yesterday, the entry and exit control has been stricter, I heard that some people want to come in and have been injured by the officials with knives, even if they want to go out, it is not easy." ”

After speaking, he heard the little guy shouting to himself, patted Old Man Xiao's shoulder, and sighed: "Brother, take care!" ”

Old Man Xiao couldn't hide his sadness: "Take care too!" ”

Xiao Youfu is shy again.

Old Man Xiao cherished the mules he bought at a great price, and personally drove the mule cart to prepare to go home.

Xiao Youfu simply asked his father to drive the mule cart back, and he took his three daughters to He's house.

The He family is at the end of the street, the location is relatively remote, there are three small storefronts in front, and the back is where their family lives.

When they looked at each other, the Liu family was not only satisfied with He Dalang, but also satisfied that the He family had their own store and house.

There are five main rooms, three wings on the left and right, and a small courtyard.

This will be left to the eldest son in the future, so his daughter will not have to worry about her livelihood in the future.

"Hey, why are you closing the door?" After Xiao Xiao finished speaking, he stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After a while, He Saburo came to open the door and saw that they were not happy and surprised: "Why are you here?" ”

He was only twelve years old, and he couldn't be happy and angry.

Xiao Youfu's originally smiling face sank: "What?" Can't we come? ”

He Saburo also looked angry: "The people who have the epidemic are all locked up in the mountains, how can you come out and harm people?" ”

After saying that, I wanted to close the door.

"Little rabbit, it's not your turn to show Lao Tzu here." Xiao Youfu raised his foot and kicked the door open, he was not a good man and a woman, at this moment, seeing that this yellow-mouthed boy dared to show his face, he could still bear it.

He Sanlang not only didn't shut people out of the door, but was also casually pulled by Xiao Youfu, and when he fell, his chin just hit the stool, and he cried in pain.

Xiao Wei's face suddenly became ugly, but he didn't stop his father from making trouble, but followed in.

Xiao Lian glanced at her sister vigilantly.

My sister didn't like her father's gangster appearance the most, and she was afraid that she would quarrel with her father again at this time, but let the He family watch the fun.

Xiao Xiao wanted to help his forehead, but the original owner had studied in the town for a few years, and he liked gentle and polite scholars at a young age.

But this black cauldron, she can only carry it.

She didn't know what the second sister meant: "What are you looking at me?" Take care of the eldest sister more! ”

Father He and the other two sons heard the cry of the younger son, and they also came out, just when they saw the father and daughter of the Xiao family, coming from the back door of the store.

He Dalang is of medium height, with thick eyebrows and big eyes on his light wheat-colored face, and he smiles first when he meets people, and in a place like the town, he can also be regarded as a dignified young man.

But at this moment, when he saw Xiao Wei, he was pleasantly surprised: "You're fine!" ”

didn't care about the younger brother who was still crying in the shop, and only Xiao Wei was in his eyes.

Even if Xiao Wei is wearing white and short brown hair at this moment, she still can't hide her beauty.

He still remembers the first time he saw her, she was wearing a goose-yellow cross-collar dress, and her complexion became more and more fair, with willow eyebrows and apricot eyes on her goose egg face, and when she smiled slightly, her eyes were full of waves, like peach blossoms blooming on a spring day.

After hearing that the adults drove all the infected patients into the reservoir, he was also so anxious that if his father and mother hadn't stopped him, he would have wanted to pick her up.

Xiao Wei glanced at him, then at the mule cart in the yard, and at the luggage wrapped in oiled paper, and didn't speak, just lowered his eyes and stood behind his father.

Shopkeeper He didn't expect that the father and daughter of the Xiao family would appear in his house.

He resisted the urge to retreat, smiled and clasped his fists and saluted: "In-laws, it's really good that you are all safe and sound, I originally wanted to go to the old man to inquire about your news." ”

The main reason is that he saw that the father and daughter were ruddy and not sickly, and they didn't come with luggage, that is, they had already come out and settled down at Xiao Laoer's side.

Therefore, his tone was more sincere, as if he was in his heart: "I heard that the town is now under martial law, and it is not allowed to enter or leave, so I spent money to make a point, and prepared to leave quietly at night." ”

"If you want to go, let's go together."

On the other side, Mrs. He favored her youngest son, and went to the shop to coax her younger son, knowing that Xiao Youfu had bullied him, her angry willow eyebrows stood up.

She doesn't look down on Xiao Wei, Xiao Youfu is a bastard, and the Liu family lives in the countryside, so they all suspect that the dowry for Xiao Wei has been spent.

Thinking of her own boss who had identified Xiao Wei with all her heart, and was still thinking about going to find Xiao Wei a few days ago, she was still full of anger when she thought about it now.

However, she also knew that she was about to leave home, and she still had to rely on her husband and eldest son, so she came over and said: "Their little couple got married at the end of the year, and now I don't know if we can meet in the future. ”

Immediately, he looked at Xiao Youfu again, with a somewhat ostentatious tone: "My cousin married to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and my brother-in-law also works in the yamen, so we are ready to go to them." ”

"If Xiao Wei enters the door today, then we are real in-laws, and you can also follow us to Jiangsu and Zhejiang."

It's not that she is optimistic about Xiao Wei, but the family originally hired two mothers-in-law to help with laundry, cooking, and cleaning, but now they have also quit their jobs, and the family's work falls on her, which is really hard.

If Xiao Wei is willing to enter the door now, these things can be handed over to her to do in the future, and he will be free.

Xiao Youfu raised his foot and kicked He Dalang: "Do your spring and autumn dream, Lao Tzu is not dead yet, dare to wronged my daughter!" ”

He Dalang didn't expect that his future father-in-law would kick him, and without being on guard, he was really kicked to the ground, and he couldn't get up for a while.

Mrs. He's face turned pale with fright, and she took a few steps back before she dared to scream: "Come on, help!" ”
