Chapter 62 - 62 - Losing the oxcart

Mo Xiao Yan thought that these strings would be sold off for now, let Mother have a taste, and let Xu Da Mu take the remaining ones.

"Mother, after I bake these strings, we will not sell them. Eat some of them, and we will bring the rest to the Uncle Xu to have a taste." Mo Xiao Yan said.

"That's fine, Mother won't eat it then. You can eat it, and then give the rest of the skewers to your Uncle Xu. I'll have to trouble you to take this too." Lee's thought so too.

After he was done roasting the meat, Mo Xiao Yan ate a bunch of it and gave it to Lee's. Lee's did not want to say anything about it, he just wanted to give it to Mo Xiao Yan to eat.

But how would Mo Xiao Yan be willing? His own mother had been busy for two days already, so he didn't even know what the smell of the roast meat was, so he stuffed it into Lee's's hands.

Lee's only ate it, and after tasting it, it tasted pretty good. It was quite fragrant, no wonder it sold so fast, so it was actually so delicious.

After eating, the Lee's suddenly thought of something.

"Oh yeah, Xiao Yan is going to be in Mid-Autumn tomorrow, I almost forgot about that. Should we buy some things so that we can make you guys something nice to eat?" The Lee's said.

Mother, let's go buy some pastries after we close our stall. We still have more dishes at home, so we won't buy any more at home. We'll just go buy some meat. Mo Xiao Yan said happily.

Lee's thought that this stall could earn him a few hundred dollars. To the poor rural families, this was just a small amount of money, if they did not stall for a day, they would earn less money.

"Then let's first send all of this to your Uncle Xu, then we can go buy something." The Lee's said.

"Yeah, that's what I thought too." Mo Xiao Yan was also very much in agreement. Lee's knew what both of them were lacking, they bought both at once.

Mo Xiao Yan asked Wang Da Cheng to help him look over some things before the two of them carried the heaviest barbecue rack over. After that, they brought some small things along as well.

The festivities were soon over. There were still quite a lot of people in the town, and the stalls that sold things were also packed. The two of them went to buy some pork chops and also some pastries from the bakery.

These pastries were still quite expensive. Seeing the copper coins she spent, Lee's started to feel sorry for her again. Why was this girl spending so much money just to buy a little bit of it, she even bought a lot of pastries and spent a lot of copper coins.

After exiting the cake shop, Lee's hurriedly said: "Xiao Yan, although we have earned a bit of money in the past few days, we still have a lot of money. We should save some money at least, don't buy so many things, just a bit is enough, it's not like it's New Year."

"Aiya, Mother, it's fine. We can just slowly earn it back." Mo Xiao Yan disapproved.

"Sigh, if this child wants to learn to live, he shouldn't spend so much money. He has to save some." Lee's had always been a bit frugal, so when she saw Mo Xiao Yan spending so much money, she definitely thought it was just random spending.

However, this method of earning money was something her daughter had thought of. No matter what she wanted to buy, the Lee's would not stop her.

"Mother, it looks like it's getting late, let's go to Master Zhao's ox-cart, there are definitely more people at the market today than usual, so we have to hurry, maybe if we go too late, we won't be able to get on the ox-cart." When Mo Xiao Yan thought of this, he became anxious. She didn't want to walk back since the journey was a bit far.

"That's right. If you didn't say that Mother had already forgotten about it, then let's hurry up and leave." When the Lee's heard Mo Xiao Yan's words, he instantly became anxious.

Actually, even if Lee's wanted to sit on the ox-cart, he could just go back. But his daughter had been tired out all day, so wouldn't it be too tiring to walk so far?

Carrying their belongings, the two of them quickly made their way to where the ox-cart was parked. There was no sign of the ox-cart anymore.

Mo Xiao Yan's heart was immediately marinated, what could he do?

"Mother, could it be that this Master Zhao has already gone back?" Mo Xiao Yan was a little unhappy now.

"We've spent quite a bit of time in the town today. The ox-cart must have left by now. It seems that we have to go back." Lee's also could not bear to watch her daughter walk so far.

"But he definitely hasn't returned yet. Isn't it already dark?" Mo Xiao Yan said unhappily.

"Sigh, that's all we can do now. Your grandfather is the only one in the village who pulled the ox-cart. There's no one else left in the village, so we can only walk back." Lee's couldn't do anything either.

Mo Xiao Yan could only accept his fate. After all, he had to buy so many things, it had taken a long time, if not he would definitely be able to catch an oxcart.

The ancient transportation was not convenient, Mo Xiao Yan thought that since he was here, he had to adapt to everything.

Fortunately, his family had been eating better and had some energy left in them. Otherwise, if he ate wild vegetable porridge every day, he would have starved for a few steps before being unable to breathe.

It was already completely dark as he walked. On the way, he stopped and walked. There was still a long way to go until he reached the village.

At this time, Mo Xiao Yan was thirsty, tired and hungry. Lee's also seemed to be very tired, because most of the things were taken by him, so he only took some pastries.

The two of them were sitting on the stones by the side of the road, resting, listening to what seemed to be coming from behind them.

Someone had probably come. The moonlight was slightly nearer, and it turned out to be a horse carriage. However, he did not know who it was.

Mo Xiao Yan thought about going to the village and wondered if he could help to pull the two of them over.

Just as the horse carriage was about to reach him, Mo Xiao Yan stood up and shouted from the side of the road: "Hey, may I ask if your horse carriage can pull us over? We can give you money. "

Fortunately, it was almost the middle of autumn and the moon was quite big. Although it was dark, one could still see the road clearly with the help of the moonlight. It was just that it was too tiring.

After hearing Mo Xiao Yan's shout, the carriage stopped in front of them.

Borrowing the moonlight, Mo Xiao Yan could clearly see that the person who jumped down was dressed in black. It was Leng Qian Ye.

Seeing that he was an acquaintance, Mo Xiao Yan was naturally very happy.

"Elder Brother Qian Ye, why is it you? Where are you going so late? " Mo Xiao Yan said happily.

"I'm going to your village now because I heard someone shouting in front of me. I didn't want to stop, but why does this sound so familiar? So, I stopped the carriage and came over to see that it was you." Leng Qian Ye said with a smile.

"Then Elder Brother Qian Ye, can you also bring my mother and I along?" Mo Xiao Yan asked.

"Hur hur, of course there won't be a problem." Leng Qian Ye readily agreed.
