Old man Xiao has gained a lot.

He went to chat with Master Wu for a few words according to what the boss had taught him before, revealing Xiao Youfu's profession.

In the past, they all felt that their boss was a little lacking in morality, but now they are jealous and think that he is not easy to mess with.

Coupled with a young son who killed pigs, the force value exploded instantly.

Master Wu was afraid that they would have other thoughts about their belongings.

He regretted not leaving with the big team, but stopped to rest because his daughter-in-law and daughter were motion sickness.

Who would have thought that he would meet the Xiao family brothers.

Inevitably, the Xiao family was interested in making money, so he simply led Old Man Xiao to the mule cart and took two knives and more than ten catties of bacon.

At first, Old Man Xiao refused insincerely, but under Master Wu's repeated insistence, he finally came back with ham.

However, he also immediately said that he would take care of the Wu family more on the road.

Mrs. Xiao's eyes lit up when she saw the meat he was carrying: "So much meat, how much silver do you get?" ”

"No silver, this is given to us by the shopkeeper Wu, and you can also make a pot of bacon rice later."

Previously, Master Wu himself came to talk to him, and he deliberately added fuel and vinegar to his boss in order for his children and grandchildren to eat better.

It's also helpless, obviously their family sells meat, but only yesterday they ate more than ten catties of unsold meat with an open stomach.

There is also last year's cured bacon, which has two or three catties left, and I have been reluctant to eat it.

After speaking, he found out his two sons and spoke: "The Wu family was afraid that we would have bad intentions, so they said that they would give us 100 catties of rice, 50 catties of flour and two knives of bacon, and let the children in the family also go to the mule cart to squeeze it." ”

When Xiao Youfu heard what he said, he gave him a thumbs up: "No wonder they all say that ginger is old and spicy, dad, you are a white wolf with empty gloves." ”

The Wu family was so upright that he was embarrassed to think crookedly.

After all, even if you flee now, you haven't reached the end of the road, and your humanity has not been completely lost.

But if he really encounters a robbery, the Wu family should not count on him.

The bacon itself is fragrant, and the fat soaked in the rice is even more delicious.

At this lunch, everyone ate with smiles on their faces and mouths full of oil.

In the past, if you didn't celebrate the New Year's holiday, how could you be willing to waste food so much?

Only Mrs. Xiao's flesh hurts, and she ate more than ten catties of brown rice and more than one pound of bacon in this meal.

Especially when it was not enough to see her granddaughters eat a big bowl, and when she went to serve the meal again, she really couldn't help but stop it.

It's a pity that she endured it when she saw the boss staring at her on the side.

It is estimated that God is in a good mood, and the rain that has been falling for more than half a month has finally stopped, and the two families continue to hurry.

The rain was unpleasant, but the sun at the end of June was even more uncomfortable, and the sun made people dizzy.

When Wu heard that he could ride on the Wu family's mule cart, he and his three sons took turns to ride the Wu family's mule cart.

The mule cart in his own house is taken by Mrs. Xiao and the granddaughters of the Liu family.

As for Old Man Xiao, he also went to learn to drive a mule cart.

Last night drove the mule cart overnight, and the brothers were not skilled in the mule cart, so it can be said that they were forced to drive the ducks to the shelves.

Therefore they all walked by the mule with the reins.

Today, the old man Xiao sat on the side of the cart and hurried: "This is no different from driving the ox cart, when I was young, I often drove the ox cart, especially the ploughing field, and the cattle were indispensable..."

In fact, the mule is very tame, he just thinks he is useful, not an old drag on his children and grandchildren.

Xiao Wei, who was sitting in the mule cart, saw that the little sister and her mother were sweating, so she poked her head out and shouted: "Grandfather stop, I'll change my mother and come up and sit for a while." ”

When the mule cart stopped, Xiao Lian also got down from the mule cart neatly, and did not forget to complain: "Mother give me the hat, the sun is too big, and if we walk like this for more than half a month, we are afraid that we will be sunburned into black charcoal." ”

After Xiao Xiao got on the mule cart, he collapsed in the carriage: "Grandmother, give me some water to drink!" ”

Mrs. Xiao scooped out the last bit of water from the wooden bucket with a gourd ladle and handed it to her: "When the water in the car runs out, you have to talk to your grandfather, and stop when you see clean water." ”

Previously, in order to reduce the weight of the luggage, Xiao Youfu didn't even let everyone bring wooden boxes, but he brought more than half a bucket of water, and asked them to boil two large pots of boiling water.

Even a few years ago, the government often warned everyone to boil the water and drink it, but in the summer, ordinary people still prefer to drink cool well water.

"That's not good," Xiao Xiao knew her grandmother's habits, so she could only scare her: "The disease enters from the mouth, the water must be clean, the doctor said last time, the epidemic is likely to be spread from the water." ”

Old woman Xiao was stunned when she heard this: "Did the doctor say this again?" ”

Xiao Xiao also reacted that it was her grandmother who accompanied them to the hospital to see a doctor last time.

However, she still nodded very calmly: "Grandmother was worried about the medicine money at that time, and she didn't pay attention to the doctor's instructions for fear of death." ”

Thinking of the expensive medicine money, which still makes Mrs. Xiao's flesh hurt, she was worried: "People like us really can't afford to get sick, but this person is unfamiliar with the place, where to find well water?" ”

Xiao Xiao didn't have a golden finger, so he could only hope: "If you can meet a post station, or a small village in Chaliao, you will have a clean water source." ”

After speaking, he only drank two sips, and handed it to Liu: "Mother, drink some water first." ”

Liu rubbed her calves, she used to do housework needlework, even if it was pigweed, it was the time when the three daughters went to play.

That is, when the vegetable seedlings are planted, they are regarded as going to work in the field.

Therefore, it was really unbearable to walk so many roads, and I was a little dizzy in the sun before.

She only drank three sips and stopped drinking: "The remaining half is reserved for your sisters to drink." ”

At this time, Xiao Youfu walked from the front of the mule cart to the back, took the scoop in her hand and drank it all: "Bring me another scoop of water." ”

Liu said helplessly: "There is no water." ”

Xiao Youfu wiped the sweat on his face with his sleeve: "I'll go ahead to explore the way, and I have to find a place with water to rest." ”

With that, he trotted forward again.

It is said that the speed of the carriage is faster than that of the mule cart, but the body of the Wu family is a little weak, even if their family is sitting in the carriage, they have to stop for a while from time to time, either this one comes down to vomit, or that one says dizziness.

Therefore, when Xiao Youfu said that there was a tea house in front of the official road, they also said that they would rest their legs for a while.

Generally speaking, there will be post stations every 100 meters on the official road, which is to facilitate the rest of the officials.

But ordinary people can't enter the post station, so there will be people who build a tea house on the edge of the post station, so that it is safe and secure, and they can also earn some money for wine and food.

Master Wu thought more, they had a lot of rice and noodles in their mule cart, silver in the carriage, and silver tickets on him.

Therefore, he was afraid that the Xiao family brothers would have bad intentions, but now that he was finally about to arrive at the post station, he was going to spend more money to enter the post station to rest for a day or two.

In this way, you can take the opportunity to part ways with the Xiao family.

Otherwise, he would always feel uneasy.

It's a pity that he thinks beautifully, but the reality is cruel.

The inside of the tea house was empty, and even the tables and chairs were burned as firewood.

The two families hesitated, and decided to try their luck at the inn.

Fortunately, there were still seven or eight errand servants in the inn, and when they saw them, they did not turn away.
