Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 107 Transportation

“Brother Anqing!”

After walking a few steps, he could no longer carry the child. An Yue couldn't help but complain in her heart about his small body, which was too weak. However, physical fitness cannot be changed overnight.

At this time, the whole street was crowded and noisy. An Nian saw that Brother Anqing did not respond, so he thought he did not hear him. He hurried forward and shouted again: "Brother Anqing."

An Qing turned around and saw that it was An Nian and An Yue. He was very surprised and said, "Oh! Why are you two siblings?"

An Yue put the backpack on the ground, took a short break, and asked, "Brother An Qing, are you waiting for someone?"

"Yes!"

After An Nian put down the backpack, he asked without hesitation: "Who are you waiting for, brother?"

"Didn't my brother go to the county town a few days ago to inquire about jobs? He couldn't find one, so he asked someone to help him find out. He told me to wait for news from him here today, but I've been waiting for quite a while and he still hasn't come."

It is said that a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse’s son will dig holes, but there are exceptions to everything.

For example, this uncle and his wife are both very cunning, but their son Anqing is a simple and honest person.

Now that Anqing’s wedding is just around the corner, there will be one more mouth to feed at home. I guess he is also worried about how to make money!

My uncle's family has a lot of land. If the whole family works together to cultivate the land, I think there will be enough food for the whole family.

It's because my uncle has been preparing for the imperial examinations for many years and has spent all the family savings, but he is still just a student. Many people in the village are talking about him, saying that he is lazy and likes to eat.

Therefore, the men in the family were not helpful, and the two daughters had to help out. Later, after the two daughters got married, there was even less manpower in the family. This forced Anqing to start working in the fields with his mother at a very young age.

Later, when he was older, about fourteen or fifteen years old, he helped with the farm work at home. When he was not busy, he would go out to work, sometimes in the village, town, or even further to the county town.

In the past few years, he has earned a lot of money to supplement the family expenses.

However, having such an unreliable father is like a bottomless pit that will never end.

An Yue had nothing to do, so she asked, "Brother Anqing, how much money can you earn in a day working in the county town?"

“There are many kinds of workmanship, and each one is different.”

"Last year, I worked in the county town and earned between ninety and one hundred coins a day. I don't know how it will be this year."

An Yue wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "I do earn more in the county town! But isn't Brother An Qing going to welcome his sister-in-law into the family soon?"

"Yes! When you go out to work, won't you leave your sister-in-law at home?"

"There's nothing I can do about it. I believe she can understand me."

At this time, an ox cart was seen approaching from afar.

Anqing waved at him, smiled and shouted, "Uncle Wu, have you finished another trip?"

The man driving the ox cart smiled and replied, "Yes! There are a lot of people today, so we have to run more frequently."

An Yue asked: "Brother An Qing, what is this...?"

An Qing explained to Anyue: "This is Uncle Li Wu, the ox cart driver in our village. It's normal that you don't know him since you are still young."

An Yue thought to herself: [I really want to meet him now. I am so tired carrying these two backpacks.]

An Qing whispered to Anyue, "When he was young, he went up the mountain to chop firewood. When he was coming down the mountain, the ground slipped and he accidentally fell down the mountain."

"Later, he started to limp, so his family bought him a cow and asked him to drive a cart from the village to the town and back."

An Yue thought carefully and remembered that the original owner was still young at that time and vaguely remembered such an incident in her mind. In terms of relatives, this Li Wu was a relative of the village chief Li Huairen.

An Yue watched Li Wu getting closer and closer. He looked a few years older than her father, so she shouted, "Hello, uncle."

After Li Wu parked the ox cart, he turned around and asked An Qing, "Who are these two kids?"

An Qing quickly explained: "This is my second uncle's sister-in-law."

Li Wu suddenly realized, "Oh! So they are the two little kids from Tianshun's family? Have they grown up this big?"

An Yue smiled and asked, "Uncle, do you drive a bullock cart from the village to the town all year round?"

Li Wu nodded and said, "Yes! Are you and your brother going back to the village?"

"Yes! When will uncle return to the village?"

"Wait a little longer, we'll go back when there are six of us."

"Then can my sister and I take your ox cart back to the village?"

"This..." Li Wu was afraid that the siblings had no money, and looked embarrassed.

"Don't worry, uncle. We will definitely give you the money and won't make things difficult for you." An Yue said quickly.

Li Wu was relieved after hearing what An Yue said. He smiled and said, "A ride on the ox cart costs three cents, but considering that you two are small, five cents will do for each of you."

An Yue smiled and readily agreed: "Okay, then thank you uncle!"

At this time, three women came from the entrance of the town, talking and laughing, and got on the ox cart.

Li Wu asked, "Are you going back to Anqing? If so, there will be exactly six of us."

Anqing looked around and still didn't see the person he was waiting for, so he responded, "Okay, I'll be right back."

An Yue thought that in the future she could go to town by ox cart and wouldn't have to worry about buying more things.

The road was bumpy all the way and I felt like my whole body was about to fall apart. Fortunately, the town was not far from Baili Village, less than two kilometers round trip, and I arrived at the main road near my home in a short while.

After getting off the ox cart, An Yue asked, "Uncle, will you go to town tomorrow?"

Li Wu smiled and said, "I go there every day."

"Then when will uncle get here tomorrow? My sister and I will still have to take your ox cart to go to town."

Li Wu turned to An Yue and said, "Tomorrow at 11:00 a.m."

"That's fine. We two siblings will be waiting for you here."

"Okay, it's a deal!" Li Wu said, and then drove away in the ox cart.

After the three siblings got off the bus, An Qing saw that the siblings had a hard time carrying the backpacks, so he simply put Anyue's backpack on his back and prepared to help carry Anynian's backpack.

But An Yue didn't let An Qing mention it again. An Yue just squatted down and carried An Nian's backpack.

The three siblings returned to the yard.

Anqing brought the basket to the east room of the siblings. Seeing that it was full of seeds, he joked, "You two bought so many seeds. Are you really planning to plant crops?"

An Yue nodded and said, "Of course, didn't Brother An Qing also start working in the fields when he was very young?"

"Okay, okay, our Yueyue is capable. If you need your brother's help in the future, just let me know."

After Anqing finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to go back to the west room.

An Yue hurriedly called out, "Brother An Qing, wait a moment!"

An Yue quickly brought the strips of meat sent by Qin to the kitchen, cut them in half and handed them to An Qing, saying, "Brother An Qing, take this home!"

An Qing was a little puzzled and asked, "Why did Yueyue give me so much pork?"

An Yue said:
