Chapter 38 - Chapter 38

"Hehe, it's fine. The sun is too hot today and I'm feeling dizzy from the sun's rays. There's a carriage there, you should hurry up and go." Master Zhao didn't mind at all.

"Thank you, Grandpa Zhao. I'll be leaving first then."

Looking at the basket on the oxcart, Mo Xiao Yan was troubled again.

Seeing Mo Xiao Yan standing there motionlessly, Chen Zi Mo seemed to understand Mo Xiao Yan's problem.

"Xiao Qi, go and help take Xiao Yan's basket off his back. She can't even move a little girl like you." Chen Zi Mo said.

Hearing Chen Zi Mo's words, Mo Xiao Yan felt very grateful in his heart. He had asked the Master Zhao to help him carry it just now, and he was too embarrassed to trouble the other party anymore.

Xiao Qi jumped down from the carriage, picked up Mo Xiao Yan's basket and placed it on the carriage.

"Alright, little girl, hurry up and come up. We should hurry on our way." Xiao Qi said as he looked at Mo Xiao Yan who was standing on the ground.

"I know." Mo Xiao Yan awkwardly climbed onto the carriage.

The carriage was much more comfortable than the bumpy ox-cart. Although it was not as comfortable as a modern car, it was still good enough. A carriage was much more expensive than an ox-cart. In general, only wealthy people could afford a carriage like this.

"Xiao Yan, this basket is still a bit heavy. Did a little girl carry it from town?" Chen Zi Mo said as he looked at the basket that was filled to the brim.

"Of course, who else would it be?" Mo Xiao Yan asked.

"I didn't expect a little girl like you to be so tall and thin. You also have quite a bit of strength. I've really underestimated you."

Hearing him say that, Mo Xiao Yan was naturally unhappy. Although he was still a child, his mental age was still around 20 years old.

Mo Xiao Yan said expressionlessly: "Thank you for your praise."

Mo Xiao Yan pretended not to hear what Chen Zi Mo was saying behind him, and completely ignored him, making him feel a little awkward.

The Chen family happened to pass by Mo Xiao Yan's house, and the carriage arrived at Mo Xiao Yan's house, which also saved her from carrying such a heavy thing to such a far away.

Xiao Qi took the initiative to help Mo Xiao Yan out of the basket on his back.

Mo Xiao Yan thanked Xiao Qi but did not greet him. He carried the basket home with difficulty.

Xiao Qi stood outside, and felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. Chen Zi Mo didn't say anything, but still maintained his usual smile.

When Mo Xiao Yan returned home, he took out everything he bought today. The first thing he did was to take the meat out and put it in the basin filled with cold water.

In ancient times, it was inconvenient to do without a refrigerator. Things couldn't be stored, especially on such a hot day.

He took the vegetables out and placed them in the kitchen along with the new bowl. He also put the old one in an inconspicuous place. In the future, he would use the new bowl for his meal.

He quickly found a place to hide the rest of his silver today, and passed it to Lee's to keep after she returned.

After putting away all the things he had eaten today, Mo Xiao Yan sat down to rest for a while. Furthermore, he ate something good before coming back, otherwise, he would definitely be hungry by now.

Looks like they definitely came back very late today, and could only cook for themselves in the afternoon. With the previous time's experience, this time, it wouldn't be difficult for Mo Xiao Yan either. I just can't make it too delicious. It's good as long as it can be eaten. If it's too delicious, people will treat me as a monster. The original owner had never cooked before.
