"Hui 'er, this meat is precious. We've already spent a lot of money today, so we can't spend anymore. We have to be thrifty. It's alright, Mother will secretly cook this meat for you. "
Hearing Huo Chunhua's words, Zhao Xinhui reluctantly agreed.
"Alright then, Mother. You promised to only let me eat it."
"Mm, mm."
After Huo Chunhua and Zhao Xinhui were ready to go back, they realized that Old Father Hu's carriage was no longer there.
"Where did Old Man Hu die? Why can't we find him? "Huo Chunhua was a little anxious.
Zhao Xinhui frowned and asked, "Mother, Old Man Hu couldn't have already gone back, right?"
"Ah? That damned old man went back? "
Huo Chunhua thought that it was possible. But she and Zhao Xinhui hadn't come back yet, so why did he go back?
Yang City was quite a distance away from the village, so they couldn't possibly walk back.
"Mother, we can't even find him here. He must have gone back. What should we do? Mother, I don't want to walk. It's such a long journey, it's so tiring. "Zhao Xinhui complained unhappily.
She had been spoiled since she was young and couldn't bear even the slightest bit of hardship.
"Hui 'er, don't worry. Mother will think of something." Huo Chunhua comforted her.
They couldn't walk back. Old Father Hu had already left. They couldn't stay in Yang City for a day and take Old Father Hu's carriage tomorrow.
Right now, they could only ask other ox-cart drivers if they could go to Shui Lan Village.
There were many ox-carts and horse carriages parked in Yang City. They were specially used to transport goods.
Huo Chunhua asked a few. The lowest price to Shui Lan Village was thirty copper coins.
Thirty copper coins. Huo Chunhua really couldn't bear to part with it. These two catties of pork didn't even cost thirty copper coins.
"Hui 'er, if we can't do it, why don't we walk back slowly? Look, if we rent a carriage, why don't Mother buy you an extra catty of pork to eat? Don't you think so? "
Zhao Xinhui arrived early in the morning and had wandered around Yang City for a long time. She was already tired. Now that Huo Chunhua said this, she immediately squatted and said angrily to Huo Chunhua, "Mother, I'm so tired. I don't want to do it. If I walk back, I'll probably have to lie in bed for a few days."
"Okay, okay, okay. I won't go, I won't go. Then Mother will charter an ox cart to go back, okay? "
Only then did Zhao Xinhui stop making a fuss. "Okay."
Huo Chunhua reluctantly took out her purse. After paying thirty copper coins, the coachman drove the two of them towards Shui Lan Village.
They had spent a lot of money on this trip, and there wasn't much money left at home. Along the way, Huo Chunhua was distressed and worried about how to earn some money back.
When Papa Hu's carriage arrived at the village, Zhao Yun 'er bid farewell to Mu Lan and returned home.
This time, Zhao Yun 'er didn't bring any meat buns back from town. She wanted to make them herself.
The buns she made tasted better. Thinking about it, the buns made from half a catty of meat were much more cost-effective than buying meat buns.
When Zhao Yun 'er arrived home, the two children were already obediently waiting in the room.
"Sister, Doudou and I also caught bullfrogs today." Zhao Tianfu stood and pointed at the bullfrogs in the wooden bucket.
Last time, Zhao Yun 'er asked him to identify them, and Zhao Tianfu remembered them.
Now that he saw the bullfrogs in the wooden bucket, he really didn't catch the wrong ones. They weren't toads.
"Sister, we have a lot of them in the fields. Doudou and I caught a few in a short while. Cook them for us for lunch."
