Sweet Garden Sands

Chapter 38

38
When Ke Meng saw that his son had really bought the ox cart, there was a trace of worry on his brows.

Ke Zhong went back to the house, took the knife and the basket, and took his son out to mow the grass.

And Ke Shuisheng tied the cow to the pillar outside his silkworm house, and went out with the silver.

Ke Yushi's youngest son, Ke Weijie, jumped onto the bullock cart, jumped up happily, and shouted as he jumped.

"Jie'er, stop making trouble, don't scare the cow!" Ke Mengshi yelled and pulled Ke Weijie down.

Ke Weijie curled his lips unconvinced, and ran out.

Ke Yushi also curled his lips, looked at Ke Hanxue, and dared not speak out.

Ke Jiangshi took her two daughters and stood under the eaves, looking at the cow from a distance with envy in her eyes.

"Mother, uncle bought a cow, can we go to the town to play in the future?" Zhu'er raised her head and asked Ke Jiangshi softly.

Ke Jiangshi just smiled and didn't answer.

"Pearl, I will take you and your sister to the town to play when I have time." Ke Hanxue walked towards Ke Jiangshi with a smile.

"Xue'er, don't spoil these two children!" Ke Jiangshi laughed.

"Third Aunt, Qin'er and Zhu'er are sensible!"

Ke Jiangshi smiled, but didn't answer. "

Ke Hanxue and Ke Jiangshi were talking, and seeing grandma measure the rice from her parents' room into the kitchen, she hurried over and took the rice and vegetables from Ke Mengshi's hands.

"Grandma, I'll cook. Your waist is uncomfortable. You should go and rest."

"My waist is much better." Ke Mengshi laughed, but didn't insist too much, and let Ke Hanxue go.

Seeing Ke Mengshi coming out of the kitchen, Ke Yushi leaned over to Ke Mengshi and asked in a low voice: "Mother, look at the big brother's battle, does he want to use this bullock cart to pull people?"

"Maybe." Ke Mengshi replied in a dispirited voice.

Ke Yu glanced at the kitchen, and said, "Mother, the ancestors of our old Ke family read sage books, do you really ask elder brother to do such a lowly job?"

"Otherwise, what should I do? Tell me where to get two more acres of mulberry gardens for the big house, so that they don't have to lose face for their livelihood!" Ke Mengshi was panicked at first, but this Ke Yushi has no eyesight , He insisted on hitting the muzzle at this time.

Ke Yu curled his lips, and accused Ke Meng in dissatisfaction: "Mother, I knew you had a lump in your heart when I divided the two acres of mulberry garden more than Dafang! But this is what the elder brother agreed to, not me. Forcing him, do you need to take your anger out on me so eccentrically?"

"Ke Yushi, when did I feel uncomfortable because your second house was divided into two acres of mulberry gardens? You think that if you divide the family, you can disrespect your elders and sow discord, don't you?" The words were quite angry, in fact, she just saw Ke Shuisheng pulling a bullock cart for a living, and she felt ashamed of him. Ke Meng felt that if she could give her eldest son more mulberry gardens, he would not be forced to to this.

Seeing that Ke Mengshi was really angry and spoke so loudly again, Ke Yushi's momentum suddenly faltered, and he muttered in a voice that only he could hear: "You are partial to the big house."

The crime of being disrespectful to elders is not something Ke Yushi can bear as a woman. Disrespecting elders and not being filial to parents is the top of the seven, and Ke Yushi dares to say anything else.

Ke Mengshi was not in the mood to quarrel with Ke Yushi any more, so he glared at her and went back to the room.

Ke Hanxue was worried that Ke Shuisheng would not be ashamed to attract guests, and planned to follow the car for a few more days, and let him go to town alone after his father got used to it.

Early the next morning, Ke Hanxue got up and made porridge.

After cooking the porridge, Ke Hanxue spread out three more pancakes for lunch for himself, his father and sister. After thinking about it, Ke Hanxue cooked three more eggs, one for Honger and two for Go to town for my sister.

After breakfast, Ke Shuisheng's father and daughter drove an ox cart to the bottom of the big mulberry tree at the entrance of the village. There were already four women waiting there under the mulberry tree.

These four women, Ke Hanxue, felt that they were unfamiliar, and they should not be from Shuihe Village.

When the four people saw the ox cart, they shouted happily: "Here we come, here we come, Shuihe Village really has an ox cart to ride in."

"Aunts, are you going to the town?" Ke Hanxue jumped out of the car and asked with a smile.

"Yes, yes, yesterday I heard from Mrs. Zhou in our village that there are bullock carts in Shuihe Village. We didn't really believe it, but I didn't expect it to exist!" A woman in her 30s laughed.

"I also heard from people in our village who came back from the town yesterday that there is an ox cart to ride in Shuihe Village. Why don't you come and try your luck and see if you can ride in it." Another old woman also said.

It turned out that these people only knew that Shuihe Village also had bullock carts after hearing from the person who rode in Ke Shuisheng's bullock cart yesterday, so they waited here early in the morning.

Ke Hanxue listened to the words of a few people, and by the way, he promoted his own ox cart: "Several aunts, our ox cart will wait under this mulberry tree every day at this time, please help a few aunts when they go back Go around and tell everyone, let the villagers come and ride in my ox cart, and you don’t have to go so far.”

"Little girl, you don't need to tell me, we will also tell the good news to our villagers." Several women said.

"Then my father and I will thank the aunts first." Ke Hanxue winked at them and smiled.

Watching his daughter chatting with several women, Ke Shuisheng just sat on the front of the car and smiled.

Several people waited for about a quarter of an hour, but before anyone came, Ke Shuisheng couldn't sit still, and kept stretching his neck to look around.

Seeing this, Ke Hanxue walked over and whispered to Ke Shuisheng: "Dad, don't worry, we just bought this bullock cart yesterday, and many people don't know it. After a long time, there will naturally be more people riding in the car." .”

After listening to his daughter's words, Ke Shuisheng relaxed his anxiety.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Ke Hanxue said to the women: "Aunts, please sit down and leave now."

"We're leaving, isn't this car full yet?" Several people were surprised.

"It's getting late, and you have to go if you're not full, or you'll have to delay the affairs of a few aunts." Ke Hanxue smiled at the few people, and then asked Ke Shuisheng to flick the whip, and the cow started to move.

"Oh, big brother, little girl, you really know how to be considerate of others, just focus on this, we will wait for your ox cart when we go to town." A woman said
"That's right, unlike that idiot in Xiangshui Village, even if it's the second bus, no matter whether it's early or late, the bus won't leave until it's full of people." Another woman also said.

As soon as the bullock cart walked less than 100 meters, Ke Hanxue heard someone calling her father's name.

Looking back, it seems to be Ke Yuanze, the youngest son of the head of Shuihe Village.

"Father, wait a minute, it seems to be Uncle Yuanze." Ke Hanxue asked Ke Shuisheng to stop the ox cart.
