The shop clerk led Shen Qiushui to the warehouse, quickly weighed out the grains that Shen Qiushui wanted to buy, packed them in sacks, and moved them to the back door of the rice grain shop.

There are several sacks of swollen grains piled up at the back door, and many workers move the sacks to wooden carts.

The waiter in the shop ordered people to move the food bought by Shen Qiushui to the back door.

Seeing that it was inconvenient for Shen Qiushui to bring the child alone, he kindly asked:

"Guest officer, our store has a team dedicated to transporting grain, do you need it?"

In front of Shen Qiushui were the things she bought, there were several bags, she couldn't move them away alone, even if Mo Changtian was around, she couldn't move them all in one trip.

Although Shen Qiushui was moved by Xiao Er's proposal, he hesitated.

After paying for the food, she only has a small change left on her body, which may not be enough to pay the fare.

"How much does your caravan cost for a trip?" she asked.

"It costs [-] yuan to go alone. If you drop by, the price can be reduced by more than half. You don't have much, sir, so you can wait to see if there is anyone who drops by. Which village do you live in? I'll help you Ask."

The shop waiter had a very good attitude and didn't discriminate against Shen Qiushui just because she was poorly dressed.

Shen Qiushui reported the address, and the waiter asked her to wait there, and he went to see if he could find a convoy that was on the way.

Shen Qiushui, who was pulling the two children, nodded, and after the waiter left, he took the two children and walked a few steps outside the door to give way to the porter.

The workers carrying goods in the aisle at the door came and went. It was obvious that the temperature in this season was the most comfortable, but all of these workers were sweating profusely.

Carrying more than 100 kilograms of grain from the warehouse to the wooden cart outside the door, back and forth, flushed with exhaustion, earning hard money, such a job is not easy to find.

The price offered by the rice and grain shop is much higher than that of unloading goods at the dock. If you want to be a porter at the rice and grain shop, you have to have some connections to come.

"Mother, when will Daddy come back?" Mo Yu, who was a little bored waiting, pulled his mother to talk.

Shen Qiushui pinched Mo Yu's face, it was soft, these days I ate well at Granny Luo's house, Mo Yu's face grew some flesh, and the pinching felt even better.

Mo Yu pursed his lips on purpose, puffing up both cheeks.

Shen Qiushui let go of Mo Yu's little face, and replied, "Mother doesn't know when your father will come back."

Mo Changtian left in a hurry, she didn't even know what the other party was going to do, she only knew that Mo Changtian asked her to wait at the food store.

Mo Yu wasn't disappointed when he didn't get an answer, instead he pulled Mo Dong to play a slap game.

Mo Dong was a little unhappy.

He didn't like such childish games after he became sensible.

However, every time Mo Yu stared intently at Mo Dong with her big watery eyes, Mo Dong couldn't help but surrender and compromise directly.

Mo Dong stretched out his hand reluctantly.

"Hey." Mo Yu smirked, and immediately clapped hands with Mo Dong, muttering in his mouth: "You pat one, I pat another, a child has meat to eat..."

A child's soft voice sounded from the back door.

Shen Qiushui stood against the wall, quietly watching the two children play.

She didn't know how long she had watched it, nor could she count how many times she had recited that nursery rhyme in Mo Yu's mouth.

The shop waiter who received Shen Qiushui before came out from the back door, looked around for a moment, and only saw the three of Shen Qiushui who had already retreated to the side.

"Guest officer, you are lucky. There happens to be a transport convoy passing by Qinghe Town. You can take a ride. I have already agreed with the driver. Just give me fifteen cents."

This price is within Shen Qiushui's acceptable range. Fifteen Wen seems to be very expensive, but it is not.

After all, it took more than half a day to go from the county town to Huaishu Village, and they could still hitchhike back with the goods, saving time and effort, and the fifteen money was not a loss.

"When will the convoy leave?" Shen Qiushui asked.

"Leaving at no time."

Shen Qiushui thought to himself: One o'clock in the afternoon should be enough to wait for Mo Changtian to come over.

She nodded, took out her purse, and counted fifteen copper coins to the waiter.

After the waiter in the shop took the money, he immediately asked someone to move Shen Qiushui's few bags of grain to a convoy not far ahead.

Most of the convoy are wooden carts pulled by donkeys, and there are a few cattle among the donkeys. If you look carefully, you will find that the wooden carts of the convoy are uniformly carved with bird-like carvings.

The porter loaded Shen Qiushui's goods onto a wooden cart pulled by a donkey, and the waiter led Shen Qiushui to recognize the people in the convoy.

The team leader took a look at Shen Qiushui, and said, "You can wander around and come back before the end of time. There are people watching here, so you won't lose anything."

Although she nodded, she didn't leave, she just stood beside her.

These things are the future rations of the family, Shen Qiushui dare not be careless.

The two children squatted in front of her and picked the weeds growing near the corner of the wall to play.

Not long after, Mo Changtian found the back door of the rice store.

He entered the rice grain store and didn't see the three of Shen Qiushui, so he dragged the waiter to inquire. Fortunately, he asked the waiter who served Shen Qiushui as soon as he asked.

"Daddy!" Seeing her father appearing, Mo Yu immediately grinned and rushed towards Mo Changtian.

A pair of small hands are raised high.

Mo Changtian pulled Mo Yu into his arms, hooked Mo Yu's nose, and walked towards Shen Qiushui.

After approaching and standing still, he asked Shen Qiushui what he bought.

Shen Qiushui told Mo Changtian about the food he bought and the motorcade.

She looked up at Mo Changtian, "What did you do just now, why did you go for so long?"

"..." Mo Changtian met Shen Qiushui's eyes, his eyes flickered slightly, subconsciously concealing the matter about Mu Zhuzi, "I just met an acquaintance, and I chased after him and said a few words."

Mo Changtian made up a lame excuse.

If it was before, Mo Changtian would not have kept Shen Qiushui about his life experience, but now he guessed that his life experience was related to the previous dynasty, but he dared not speak easily.

The imperial court hates the remnants of the previous dynasty, once discovered, it will be dealt with immediately.

He should bear this risk alone.

Hearing this answer, Shen Qiushui had no doubts, nodded, and murmured: "Is that so..."

"Do you want to go shopping?" Mo Changtian asked.

Shen Qiushui naturally thought about it, it would be very boring to stay here all the time.

"But what about the food?" Shen Qiushui swept a circle of people in the convoy, took a step forward, leaned close to Mo Changtian's ear, and whispered his doubts.

After all, it is the ration of a large family, so we have to be cautious.

A smile flashed across Mo Changtian's eyes as he looked at the cute look of the little girl in front of him who was afraid that she would go hungry if she lost her food.

"The fleet of this rice store has a good reputation, and the grain they transport has never been lost." He explained.
