Chapter 239 No brain

  Sun Qiuxue is young, only four years old, two steamed buns are definitely not enough to eat, especially the black-faced steamed buns are so big that they are not delicious.

  Sun Dongxue took advantage of the time when her parents turned to pack up, and packed the steamed buns left by herself and her sister into the bag.

  By the time Sun Manbo had packed up his things and turned back to find their sisters to ask for steamed buns, Sun Dongxue had already taken his sister into Yu Xiaolian's carriage.

  Although Sun Dongxue is young, she can look at the height of her eyebrows. She knows who her father is afraid of now, and his father is afraid of Aunt Yu now. As long as she follows Aunt Yu all the way, her father will not dare to come over.

  There are two more bullock carts. This time, everyone can sit down after being squeezed together. Their footsteps are faster than before.

   It was still Su Jingchen's carriage that led the way, but this time there was no one else in the carriage except Yu Xiaolian and sister Sun Dongxue.

  In order for Yu Xiaolian to lie down in the carriage, Su Jingchen insisted on arranging everyone else to go to another car.

  Because the bullock carts are open-top wooden carts, each cart can seat many people. Although it is a bit crowded, they all sat down.

  Yu Xiaolian was not sleepy today, so she took out the prepared snacks from her bag.

  Yu Xiaolian smiled and handed it to Sun Dongxue, but Sun Dongxue refused to eat it.

  Sun Dongxue waved her hands again and again, refusing to take it, "Auntie, no need, we haven't eaten the steamed buns in the morning, and they're in the bundle. I'm not hungry at all."

  As long as Aunt Yu can let the two of them stay in her car, she will be very grateful. How dare she eat such expensive and beautiful dim sum.

  Sun Dongxue's so-called exquisite and beautiful desserts are actually egg yolk pies and grape-flavored crispy rolls.

  Yu Xiaolian simply threatened them, "Here, you can take it. A good boy is obedient. If you are not obedient, you will not be allowed to take the lead."

  Sun Dongxue took the egg yolk pie nervously, and gave one to Sun Qiuxue, "Qiuer, thank you, aunt."

   "Thank you, aunt." Sun Qiuxue spoke in a childish voice.

  Yu Xiaolian pinched Sun Qiuxue's face, and said with a smile, "You're welcome!"

  These two children are so thin that she looks distressed.

   I feel sorry for them not being able to eat enough, and I feel sorry for their parents who are like that.

  Sun Manbo is impersonal, like a filial fool, Manbo's daughter-in-law is too honest, and she belongs to the kind of person who can't give a fart even if the three sticks.

  But Sun Dongxue is a child with a lot of dexterity, and Yu Xiaolian is very proud of her.

   "Eat it!" Yu Xiaolian pushed the snacks on the fur skin towards the two sisters, "You can take whatever you want."

   After finishing speaking, Yu Xiaolian raised the curtain of the carriage again and asked Su Jingchen, "What do you want to eat?"

  Su Jingchen said, "Tang, give me one of yesterday's candy, peach flavor."

  Yu Xiaolian handed Su Jingchen a handful of candies. In order to facilitate her eating candies on the road, these peach-flavored candies were packaged in oiled paper in advance by her, just to keep them on the road.

  Su Jingchen peeled off a candy wrapper, put the candy in his mouth, and stuffed the other candies into his bosom.

  If there were only the two of them in this car, then he would definitely ask Yu Xiaolian to tell him what happened there, but no, there are other people in the car.

   Even if you are anxious to know, you have to endure it.

   After walking for a long time, Su Jingchen said to Yu Xiaolian, "Look at the map, how far is the water source ahead?"

  Yu Xiaolian was lying flat in the carriage. It was noon, and she was sleepy again.

  Hearing Su Jingchen's words, she raised the curtain and looked out, "I have to go for another hour."

   After walking for another hour or so, there will be a village ahead, and there is an ancient well in the center of the village. She has walked back and forth twice, and she already knows the route without looking at the map.

  One hour was enough for her to take a nap, and Yu Xiaolian lay back again.

   When Su Jingchen took the lead in driving the carriage into the village and wanted to fetch water and drink the horses, the villagers stopped him.

   "Don't fetch water!"

   "Yes, if you want to use the water in our village, you have to give money. If you don't give money, you can't use it for nothing."

  Yu Xiaolian jumped out of the car, "Uncle, I just passed by the village some time ago, and you didn't stop me from fetching water at that time?"

The middle-aged man who took the lead held a pole carrying water in his hand, gesticulated and rowed with a straight face, and said to them, "That's what we didn't understand before, but now someone from our village came back from Beidi and said that Beidi Water can be sold for big bucks.

  Our village is in the middle of Zicheng and Laicheng. There is no front and back here. Our village has water sources. Therefore, our water is very precious, and we have to sell it for money. "

   Yu Xiaolian frowned and asked, "Then how much do you want?"

  The middle-aged man blurted out, "A bucket of water is five cents."

  So happy, I think the price was negotiated by people in their village a long time ago.

   "Brother, we have a lot of people and a lot of livestock, and we all need drinking water. Can you give us a little cheaper?" Sun Daji's wife smiled and approached.

The big man showed hesitation, and glanced at the person next to him. The thin person next to him touched him with his arm, "I finally met a rich convoy, why don't we make a good fortune? What can I give home?" buy food?"

  The big man glanced at Yu Xiaolian's carriage and ox cart, and his heart sank, "You are not refugees, you are rich people, what price will you negotiate with us?

   Pay for water. "

  Five cents a bucket is actually not expensive anymore. They have paid taxes on their food, once in autumn, and increased their income some time ago. They can't live happily anymore.

  Su Jingchen asked Yu Xiaolian, "How far is it from the water source in front?"

  Yu Xiaolian said, "Just buy water here!"

  Although there is a town ahead, it takes another two hours to walk. People still have water in their water bags to drink, but cattle and horses have to drink water.

  Yu Xiaolian took out a silver coin and handed it to the leading man.

   Turning his head to the Sun family, he said, "Go fetch water!"

  The Sun family went to fetch water, and Yu Xiaolian asked the big man, who in the village came back from Beidi? How long have you been back?

  The big man held the silver coin, feeling a little excited, "The one who came back from the Northland is a merchant from our village, and he just got home a few days ago.

  Don't blame him for selling water to us. If you want to blame it, blame the bad world. The court has increased taxes year after year, and we old farmers are almost dying.

  After you leave, we will take this dime and go to the town to buy some food, and then we will share some among our families. Why don’t we have to survive until the autumn harvest! "

  Over there, the Sun family drank enough water for the cattle and horses, filled their water bladders with water, and then sat around the ancient well to rest.

  They want to take out the food for cooking, but listen, this big man said that there is no food in their village, who dares to take out the food?

   Isn't this waiting to be hated? What if they rob it?

  Sun Wuye thought a lot, secretly held down the rice bag, and whispered, "Don't cook yet."

  Sun Dalin's wife wondered, "Father, there is water here, and we have spent money. If we don't cook now, when will we do it?"

   Sun Wuye glared at the eldest daughter-in-law, "I don't have a brain, I won't fill the wooden basins and barrels with water, and I will do it after I get out of this village."
