Mu family's little lucky girl

Chapter 25 Buying Paper
Stepping on the moonlight, Chen Xiao was pulling the cart in front, while Mu Li and Old Man Mu were standing on one side pushing the cart.

Except for the old man Mu who would only say a few words when he was showing Chen Xiao the way, everyone was very quiet along the way. I haven't passed it all yet, and I don't have much energy; third, traveling is a strenuous task, so it is not appropriate to talk too much, and everyone preserves their energy in silence.

After passing this flat road, there is an uphill mountain road not far ahead. The mountain road is not smooth, there are not only many stones, but also potholes.

Although Chen Xiao went to the market with them, it looked like he was leading him, but the cart was full of his family's stuff, how could old man Mu have the nerve to let him pull the cart all the time?
The reason why Chen Xiao agreed to pull the scooter just now is because Mrs. Zhang is here, and it is difficult for him to refuse.

Now that he is far away, old man Mu will replace it with Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao refused, his eyes were exceptionally clear in the dark, and he breathed steadily: "Uncle Mu, I'm not tired, and this thing is not heavy, let me do it."

Old man Mu moved his lips, and after thinking about it, he felt that there was no need to keep being so polite to others. The child treats them well, and they will treat this child well in the future.

In the future, they will all be in the same village and live close together, so it would be nice to help their mother and child more in the future.

Thinking of this, old man Mu no longer persisted.

I just pushed the cart to the mountain road, because the angle of inclination was too high, and there was nothing blocking the cart, the baskets and bones rushed to the bottom of the cart.

The two pheasants tied to the rope also flapped their wings in fright, and the chicken feathers flew all over the sky.

Mu Li quickly caught the basket that was about to fall.

Everyone stumbled and walked, sweating a lot.

Along the way, Chen Xiao looked back at Mu Li inadvertently many times, and he wanted to stop and rest more than once, not because he felt very tired, but because he was worried that he would tire Mu Li.

Chen Xiao has practiced martial arts since he was a child. He has endured all kinds of hardships, and his physical fitness is better than ordinary people. Therefore, he feels much easier than others for the same journey. Now even he feels a little tired, which means that Mu Li and Old Man Mu should It's more tiring.

In the twilight of the morning, Chen Xiao could clearly see the fine sweat on Mu Li's forehead and the profuse sweat on Mu Li's face.

Without even thinking about it, he said: "Uncle Mu, Miss Mu, let's rest here for a while before leaving."

Old man Mu thinks this proposal is good.

Mu Li followed suit and walked nearly ten miles in one breath. Now she was so tired that her mouth was parched and she didn't want to say a word.

Old Man Mu sat down on the grass next to him, wiping the sweat off his face, and Chen Xiao didn't have any airs, and also sat down on the grass two steps away from Old Man Mu.

Mu Li stared at his free and unrestrained movements, and was stunned for a while.

Chen Xiao looked over, and Mu Li suddenly came back to his senses.

As if suddenly thinking of something, Mu Li went to get the water bag pinned to his waist, unscrewed the lid and handed it to old man Mu, "Father, drink some water."

Old man Mu was really thirsty, he drank a few gulps, then handed the water pouch to Mu Li, "Give Ah Heng a drink too."

Twilight nodded.

Walking in front of Chen Xiao, he passed the water bag forward, with a small smile in his eyes, "Here, drink it."

Chen Xiao was startled, the tips of his ears turned red again, but his face was still cold, "I'm not thirsty."

Mu Li smiled and said nothing, looking at his slightly dry lips, just holding up the water bag like that, which means that if you don't drink, I won't leave.

Chen Xiao couldn't stand her gaze and her stubbornness, so he took the water bag and took a few sips casually.

He didn't know why he was so nervous.

He had seen many beauties before, and Chen Xiao had never been like this before. He felt strange and puzzled, obviously the two had only met a few times.

Why do I feel a little embarrassed when I face her?

The three of them rested in place for a while before continuing to leave.

When we arrived at the market, the sky was not yet bright, and the market was already very lively, with people coming and going, bustling.

Almost all the good spots were taken up, old man Mu found a spot that was not so conspicuous, spread a piece of cloth on the ground, stacked up a dozen or so baskets that had been woven, and placed them one by one in front of him.

Mu Li considered that Chen Xiao had just arrived and was not familiar with Wanli Township, so she decided to take the initiative to be the guide of Wanli Township. Place collection.

Chen Xiao and old man Mu both thought this idea was good.

Mu Li asked: "Master Chen, what are we going to buy next?"

Chen Xiao felt troubled for a while, he set off too hastily this morning, Mrs. Zhang didn't have time to write the list, and he didn't know what to buy.

When moving, he and his mother brought all the clothes they could wear, so there was no need to buy clothes, and basically no need to buy daily necessities.

Chen Xiao thought about it, he and his mother are not very good at cooking, so they need to buy some ready-made meals to take home, but the summer is hot, and the meals are not kept, they can only be stored for one night at most, if you buy too much, Then it will be wasted again.

"Master Chen?" Mu Li waved his hand in front of his eyes.

Chen Xiao said "ah", came back to his senses, looked at the girl who was very close to him, and saw his gaffe in the eyes of the other party, Chen Xiao covered his mouth and coughed dryly, cleared his throat, slightly concealing his embarrassment : "Go buy some paper first."

Anyway, he will need paper when he goes to the academy to study later, and now he buys it in advance, so as to save himself another trip when he can.

Mu Li didn't say anything, and led him to a paper shop. When Chen Xiao was studying, the Four Treasures of Study he used were all the best, but they were not far behind.

But when he entered the shop, he chose the worst quality paper. The shopkeeper saw that he behaved elegantly and was wearing good quality clothes, and thought he was a son from somewhere, but he turned out to be a poor boy.

The look in Chen Xiao's eyes also changed from being courteous at first to being indifferent.

However, Chen Xiao didn't care about these things, he picked out the paper and took it to the account room to settle the settlement. When he left the shop, Mu Li asked again: "Mr. Chen, where are we going next?"

Chen Xiao said "Oh", then looked at Mu Li and asked back: "There shouldn't be anything to buy, right?"

"Huh?" Mu Li was confused.

She doesn't know either.

Chen Xiao looked into her eyes, and suddenly said: "Then there will be none."

Mu Li said "ah" again, and was scratched by Chen Xiao's confused face.

Could it be that her expression just now gave Mr. Chen some illusion?
"Mr. Chen, you should think about it again."

Mu Li always felt that Chen Xiao was a bit unreliable in his work, so he kindly reminded him.

"It's definitely gone." Chen Xiao didn't even hesitate at all.

Mu Li raised an eyebrow, Mr. Chen, is it really okay for you to be so casual?
　Do you think Chen Xiao is reliable in his work?
