After the separation, I took my whole family to eat delicious food and drink spicy

Chapter 125 Ordering a Carriage

After they had finished their stroll, Li Xiaoxiao guessed that Li Fang would also need to go to school, so she walked towards the village school.

When he arrived at the school gate, Li Xiaoxiao heard the sound of reading inside. Li Xiaoxiao stood there and listened for a while. When he was about to leave, he saw Li Fang walking out with a schoolbag on his back.

"Fang'er!" Li Xiaoxiao waved at him.

Li Fang saw Li Xiaoxiao and immediately ran over. "Sister, why are you here? Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"Not long ago, I just got here too." Li Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "Let's go home."

Li Xiaoxiao took Li Fang's hand and walked towards home together. On the way, Li Xiaoxiao asked Li Fang about his studies in school, "Fang'er, do you understand the teacher's lectures? If there is anything you don't understand, please ask the teacher immediately!"

"Don't worry, sister. I can understand everything the teacher says. He also said that with my current learning progress, I can try to take the children's singing exam in one or two years!" Li Fang said happily.

"Really? Our Fang is so awesome!" Li Xiaoxiao was also happy for Li Fang.

The two chatted as they walked, and when they got home, Mrs. Bai had already prepared dinner. The family sat around the table, eating and chatting happily.

"Mom, I plan to go to town tomorrow to ask Manager Zhao how he plans to arrange the chopped pepper business this year." Li Xiaoxiao said to Bai.

"Sister, can I go with you? I also want to visit the town." Li Linlin, who was standing aside, quickly spoke after hearing what Li Xiaoxiao said.

"Okay, tomorrow we'll have our uncle drive us there in a bullock cart, and we'll go to town and buy a horse-drawn carriage."

"Xiaoxiao, then ask your younger uncle to go with you, otherwise even if you buy a carriage, your older uncle won't be able to drive it alone." Bai reminded.

"Mom is so thoughtful. I'll go talk to my uncles after dinner." Li Xiaoxiao replied with a smile.

Chapter 125, Buying a Carriage, Returning Home

After dinner, Li Xiaoxiao went to his eldest and second uncles' homes and told them about going to town to buy a carriage the next day. Both uncles readily agreed and said they would come to help the next morning.

The next morning, sunlight filtered through sparse clouds, illuminating the bluestone path and bringing a touch of warmth to the quiet village. Li Xiaoxiao's family rose early, had a simple breakfast, and began preparing to depart. The eldest uncle drove the oxcart, while the younger uncle loaded two buckets of crayfish onto it. Li Xiaoxiao and Li Linlin sat excitedly on the cart, anticipating the upcoming trip to town.

Along the way, the oxcart slowly moved forward, and the scenery on both sides unfolded like a picture scroll. In the fields, the busy figures of farmers and the lush green crops complemented each other, forming a vivid pastoral scene. Li Xiaoxiao and Li Linlin chatted and laughed happily as they admired the scenery.

After a bumpy ride of over half an hour, they finally arrived in town. The streets were bustling with activity, with stalls overflowing with goods and the sounds of vendors clamoring for food. Li Xiaoxiao and Li Linlin headed straight for Xiangmanlou, while Bai Jing and Bai Dong took the crayfish they had brought to the kitchen.

When Shopkeeper Zhao saw Li Xiaoxiao, he greeted her warmly, "Little girl, you're here at last. I've been waiting for you!" Ever since he knew that Li Xiaoxiao was engaged to Yun Che, Shopkeeper Zhao had wanted to call Li Xiaoxiao "Madam, the boss's wife" directly, but Li Xiaoxiao refused and asked him to call her the same way as before. So Shopkeeper Zhao did as Li Xiaoxiao wished.

"Shopkeeper Zhao, how do you plan to arrange the chopped pepper business this year?" Li Xiaoxiao asked straight to the point.

Shopkeeper Zhao stroked his beard and said with a smile, "This year's business is still the same as in previous years, but the quantity may increase a little. Miss, please prepare it as soon as possible after you go back."

"Okay, no problem," Li Xiaoxiao agreed readily. "Manager Zhao, are you still buying dried bamboo shoots this year?" Li Xiaoxiao then asked.

"Yes, we will buy as much as you can. When you have the goods, just ask someone to deliver them to you." Shopkeeper Zhao replied.

"That's good. Manager Zhao, you can go ahead and do your work. We'll take our leave now."

After finishing the business, Li Xiaoxiao took Li Linlin and her two uncles to visit a carriage shop. There were several carriage shops in the town, and they looked at them one by one before finally choosing a spacious, comfortable, and reasonably priced carriage.

"This carriage is really nice, let's buy it!" Li Xiaoxiao nodded with satisfaction.

My uncle also agreed, "Yes, this carriage looks strong and durable. It's definitely a good idea to buy it."

So they negotiated a price with the carriage shop owner, paid a deposit, and agreed to pick up the carriage the next day.

After finishing these things, it was already late. Li Xiaoxiao took Li Linlin for a stroll around town, buying some daily necessities and snacks for the family. They also bought three three-pound portions of pork belly and six large ribs from their usual butcher shop. Li Linlin was incredibly excited, pointing at this and that to buy, then that to taste.

After they had finished their tour, they returned to the ox cart and prepared to go home.

The group set off on their return journey. The oxcart was piled high with things, and Li Xiaoxiao and Li Linlin sat on it, holding snacks in their hands, eating and chatting, looking very comfortable.

The sun shone on them, adding a bit of warmth to this cozy family. Li Xiaoxiao looked at the scene in front of her, her heart filled with emotion. Since she traveled to this era, she has experienced many ups and downs, but it is these experiences that make her cherish the happy time in front of her even more.

"Sister, look at the clouds over there, they are so beautiful!" Li Linlin suddenly shouted, pointing at the sky.

Li Xiaoxiao looked up and saw the clouds in the sky were a golden yellow, like a beautiful painting. She smiled and said to Li Linlin, "Yes, they are really beautiful. Linlin, you must cherish your present life and bloom with your own brilliance like these clouds in the future."

Li Linlin nodded, not quite understanding, but her eyes gleamed with determination. She knew her sister's words must make sense, and she would work hard to be an excellent person.

Along the way, they chatted and looked at the scenery, and before they knew it, they had returned to the village. It was almost noon, and smoke was rising from every household in the village.

After Bai Jing and Bai Dong helped Li Xiaoxiao move the things into the house, Li Xiaoxiao gave them the meat and bones she had bought. "Uncle, uncle, you've worked hard today. Take this meat back and cook it for my aunt and the others."

Bai Jing and Bai Dong both scratched their heads a little embarrassedly, "How can this be so embarrassing, Xiaoxiao."

"Why are you being so polite to me? Take it back now." Li Xiaoxiao stuffed the meat into their hands without saying a word.

The two looked at each other, smiled and nodded, "Then we won't refuse. Thank you, Xiaoxiao."

After Bai Jing and Bai Dong left, Li Xiaoxiao began to pack up the things she had bought. She thought to herself that these ingredients could be used to make many delicious dishes.
