This house needs to be repaired better than ordinary farmers, because his family has a cow. When farmers are busy and need to cultivate land, malt drives the cattle everywhere to cultivate land, and nearby villages will go, so the annual income is OK.

    Hearing Du Xiuheng''s voice, Qiao Mai came out of the room and saw his brother and sister. He smiled and said, "you''re coming. Come first and wait a minute. I''ll load the goods and we can go."

    Du Xiuheng took Du Xiaoli in, helped Qiao Mai load the goods to be dragged to the county, and then put the firewood on it. Qiao Mai drove out with an ox cart.

    Hongshui village is near the county seat, not far away, but it takes more than an hour to walk. Du Xiuheng was afraid that Du Xiaoli couldn''t go that far. When he learned that Qiao Mai was going to drive an ox cart into the city today, he came to take a ride.

    Qiao Mai was driving ahead. Du Xiaoli sat on the board, shaking his legs and holding a grass picked when he went out. He was in a very comfortable mood. The rising sun shines on her, making her in a particularly good mood.

    She had taken any means of transportation in her previous life, but she had not made an ox cart. Now she feels that taking this is better than taking an airplane or high-speed rail.

    "Be careful, sister. Don''t fall." Du Xiuheng sat next to Du Xiaoli and told her to shake her feet restlessly.

    "No," said Du Xiaoli. Her balance was so good that she didn''t have to worry about falling. "Uncle malt, how long will it take us to get there?"

    "There''s still an hour or so," replied Joe Mai, whipping the cow''s ass.

    "It''s still so long!" Du Xiaoli was surprised. Haven''t they gone for a while?

    "Ha ha, in fact, this ox cart is not much faster than people''s feet. If you want to be fast, you can only take a carriage! But carriages are generally owned by those big families in the city." Qiao Mai replied with a smile.

    Knowing that there was still so long, Du Xiaoli took out the cake made last night, handed one to Qiao Mai and said, "Uncle malt, have a cake."

    Joe wheat got up early in the morning to load and didn''t eat breakfast. He''s really a little hungry now. He impolitely took the cake made by Du Xiaoli, took a bite and said, "Xiaoli, is this your cake? It tastes good!"

    "Well, there was no rice at home, so I baked some cakes with sweet potatoes." Du Xiaoli gave one to Du Xiuheng and took one to chew.

    More than an hour later, when Du Xiaoli felt that he was about to be stunned, they finally arrived at the county seat.

    "How lively!" Du Xiaoli exclaimed, looking at the people coming and going in the street.

    The houses here are all wooden houses, which are very similar to those in ancient towns in previous lives. The street is very wide. In addition to those who open shops and do business, some people jump on a burden to sell things.

    When they got to the city, Joe Mai put them down and said, "I''ll unload at the market. It''s estimated that it will take an hour before and after. Well, I''ll start from the market at noon and pick you up here, and then we''ll go home together."

    Joe Mai said that and drove away with the ox cart.

    Du Xiaoli calculated that it should be 9 a.m. now. At a quarter past noon, that is, after 11 o''clock, they have two hours to sell firewood and buy things.

    "Brother, we are in such a hurry. Can we come in time?" Du Xiaoli asked.

    "Don''t worry, we usually have fixed sellers to sell firewood. We go directly to Li''s house." Du Xiuheng said, carrying firewood on his back, led Du Xiaoli to turn in from the street, then walked through several alleys and came to the backyard of a large family.

    "Here we are." Du Xiuheng let go of Du Xiaoli''s hand and knocked on the door.

    A woman in her thirties opened the door, saw Du Xiuheng and said, "why haven''t you sent firewood these days?"

    Obviously, I know du Xiuheng.

    "Aunt Cao, I accidentally hurt my leg two days ago. I just brought you firewood." Du Xiuheng replied.

    Aunt Cao waved her hand and said, "hurry and carry the firewood in. Is this your sister?"

    Du Xiaoli smiled sweetly at Aunt Cao and shouted, "aunt Cao."

    "Ah, what a good boy. Carry it in and have a rest in the yard." aunt Cao felt tired of Du Xiaoli''s voice and said with a smile.

    "Thank you, aunt Cao!" Du Xiaoli followed the firewood into the backyard and frowned when he saw that there was a poured meal in the bucket in the corner of the backyard.

    As the saying goes, Zhumen''s wine and meat stink and the road is frozen to death. At this time, many people can''t afford to eat, but these big families still eat big fish and meat, and the things thrown away are better than many people.

    Aunt Cao and other two people put it down and gave Du Xiuheng ten copper coins, which was only about one yuan in modern times. Seeing that Du Xiuheng carefully collected the copper plate, Du Xiaoli couldn''t help sighing.

    They are really poor now!

    But fortunately, the price is low now. If you want to change to a previous life, you can''t even take the bus for this one dollar!

    Du Xiuheng worked hard to cut firewood all day before selling so many copper plates, which was not enough for their living expenses. But the poor brothers and sisters in the human world gave more.

    It''s really too cheap labor! She narrowed her eyes. Instead of this, she might as well let him study well at home. Of course, the premise is that they have a stable income. Now that she had made up her mind, Du Xiaoli began to think about a way to make money, which could not only make them worry about food and clothing, but also let Du Xiuheng continue to study. At least he is a person who has muddled through modern society. He can always find a way! When she was thinking about things in a daze, Du Xiuheng had said goodbye to Aunt Cao and led her out. When she got to the door, she regained her consciousness, turned around and waved goodbye to Aunt Cao. "Sister, what are you thinking?" Du Xiuheng asked when he saw Du Xiaoli thinking again. Du Xiaoli raised her head, looked at Du Xiuheng''s thin but strong shoulders and asked, "brother, do you want to continue reading?" Du Xiuheng''s body stiffened, and his eyes were full of longing and sadness. Seeing Du Xiaoli''s asking eyes, she said, "I don''t read anymore. I promised my mother to raise my sister well." "I know." Du Xiaoli saw Du Xiuheng''s eyes and understood his desire. He smiled and said, "brother, let''s go shopping, otherwise it will be too late for a while." the brothers and sisters went to buy some daily necessities, a bag of rice and a bag of flour, and some seeds of current vegetables. Although their fields are gone, they can still grow some vegetables on the mountain. "Brother, is there a place to make iron in our county?" Du Xiaoli asked when everything was about the same. "Yes, there''s one two blocks behind where we wait for uncle malt. Do you want to buy anything?" Du Xiuheng asked.
