BXBX NOVEL Chapter 164 - 164 Going to Town
“Yes, I am. Why?” Lin Xiaoyue took two buckets of cold cakes and put them on the ground, looking at the two children.
The children’s eyes lit up.
“Can we go?” He immediately said.
!!
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and looked at the two children.
“What do you want? Tell me. I’ll buy it for you.” Thinking that the two children wanted to go shopping, Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
“We don’t want to buy anything. We just want to follow you to town to have a look,” Xiao Qing said.
Lin Xiaoyue looked at Xiao Qing in confusion.
He looked a little embarrassed.
“I’ve been here for so long, but I haven’t really been to town, apart from the time when you bought us home.”
“I have never been to town either!” Lin Xiaozhi added.
Qing’er had been there once, but he had never been before.
In the past, when his father was still around, he had never brought him to town. After he passed away, his mother also never brought him there. He also wanted to go to town to have a look.
In the future, he and Qing’er would be going to the academy in town to study. How could he not know the way?
Lin Xiaoyue paused.
“Alright then, let’s go together. But when we get to town, you’re not allowed to run around. You have to follow me.” She said with a smile.
She was so busy that she had neglected the two children.
It’s a good thing for them to go outside to broaden their horizons.
Not only to town, but also out of the county and the prefecture to take a look when she had the means.
“Thank you!” The two children’s faces immediately lit up.
“Let me help you carry a bucket!” Xiao Qing stepped forward.
“I’ll also help!” Seeing Xiao Qing’s actions, Lin Xiaozhi quickly followed.
Lin Xiaoyue quickly stopped him, “Qing’er, you take one, but not you Xiaozhi.”
He looked at Lin Xiaozhi, “you’re small. Don’t flip it over!”
Then, she turned to look at Xiao Qing.
“Qing’er, take Xiaozhi upstairs and wait outside the side door. We’ll set off after your uncle has set up the ox-cart.”
“Yes.” Xiao Qing responded, picked up the bucket of cold cakes, and left with Lin Xiaozhi.
Lin Xiaoyue then took the other two buckets of cold cakes from the pond, then stacked them all together.
Before they reached the main road, Li Xiao came.
He took the three buckets from Lin Xiaoyue and went upstairs.
Looking at Li Xiao’s tall back, Lin Xiaoyue’s heart felt warm.
“Don’t let the two children stay in town for too long,” Li Xiao suddenly said.
“Yes, we’ll definitely return before dark,” Lin Xiaoyue replied.
“Why don’t I deliver the goods?” Li Xiao frowned, still feeling a little uneasy.
“No need. Plant the pepper seedlings, then water them and sprinkle some plant ash in the coming two days. After you’re done, I’ll arrange for you to deliver them,” she said.
Li Xiao was silent.
“Alright,” he finally said.
“Come back before 11am, otherwise I’ll go to town to look for you all,” he said.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
“Alright,” she said.
He was really worried about her.
At the side door.
Li Xiao put the four buckets of cold cakes into the ox-cart, then watched them get on the ox-cart before going to the field.
Lin Xiaoyue rode the ox-cart out of the village. She chatted with the two children and soon they were on the main road.
“So, it’s up to you two to sell the cold cakes in the village tomorrow.” Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
Lin Xiaoyue suddenly had an idea.
“How about this, tomorrow you and mom will sell cold cakes at home. I will give you two as many copper coins as the number of bowls you sell. Then, you split the copper coins equally among yourselves.”
