Two days later, early in the morning...
"Wan'er, I'll go to the market later. Go to the village and borrow a cart from Aunt Li, and we'll bring over the corn and sweet potatoes we dug the past two days." Ling Niang, dressed in plain gray clothes, told Yu Wan while loading the corn into the basket. .
"Okay, I'll go then." After saying that, he went out and ran to Aunt Li's house at the east end of the village. Dahuang saw Yu Wan going out and chased after him.
"Go back quickly, we have to hurry up." Ling Niang shouted to Yu Wan who had already run away.
Yu Wan came to the door of Aunt Li's yard and looked in: "Aunt Li, have you gotten up?"
Aunt Li in the house heard someone calling her, walked to the door of the house and looked towards the door of the courtyard. When she saw Yu Wan coming, she rushed forward: "It's girl Wan. What do you want to see aunt for? Where's your mother?"
"My mother and my family are here. I'm sorry to bother you so early. Didn't my mother ask me to borrow a cart from you so that I can take the vegetables from the field to the market and sell them? I just wanted to ask you if you can use it? No. If so, let’s borrow it first.”
He said and scratched his head in embarrassment.
Aunt Li was also happy: "Auntie, no need. Here, the cart is in the corner of the courtyard. You can take it and use it."
After speaking, he pointed to a wooden car in the west corner of the yard.
This is a wheelbarrow, with a load-bearing panel that is large at the top and small at the bottom. It is shaped like a trapezoidal trolley. Not to mention that the ancients were quite wise. The sides of the body are also designed to fix and support large baskets. The positions of the handles are It was polished and polished. It can be seen that although this car is a bit worn out, it has a high usage rate, is practical and lightweight.
Yu Wan didn't say much. She thanked her and walked over to try to push the car. It was a bit difficult for her eight-year-old body to push the car, but she could still move around.
Dahuang is also joining in the fun, turning left, right, and right.
Aunt Li saw Yu Wan's posture and stumbled onto the road while pushing the cart:
"Girl, if you can't, my aunt will help you push her home. If you're like this, you won't be able to walk steadily." After saying that, he planned to help.
Yu Wan quickly refused: "No, Auntie, I can do it, but I wasn't very skilled just now. Do you think I can do it now?"
After stabilizing the body, the car seemed to be better than before and he said: "Auntie, don't worry, you are busy with your work, don't delay your work, Auntie, I'm leaving first."
After saying that, he pushed the cart away, and Da Huang followed Yu Wan, wagging his tail.
Looking at the person, the dog, and the car that was not walking in a straight line, Aunt Li couldn't help but said with a smile: "Hey! This kid..."
I turned around and went into the yard and got busy.
Not far from Aunt Li's house was Yu Jiang's house. Yu Jiang happened to hear their conversation and saw Yu Wan's funny push-cart appearance. He shook his head and smiled helplessly.
He closed the courtyard door, walked quickly to Yu Wan, took the car that Yu Wan was pushing crookedly on the handle, and said, "A Wan, you are young, this job is not suitable for you, Uncle Jiang will help you."
Yu Wan was startled by the sudden appearance of Yu Jiang, and almost lost control of the car. Fortunately, Yu Jiang caught him in time. Seeing that Yu Jiang was coming, she did not try to show off, and said with relief: "Fortunately, Uncle Jiang is here. This The car looks light, but it’s quite hard to push. Uncle Jiang, you helped me a lot.”
After saying that, he still rubbed his shoulders in a dignified manner.
Yu Jiang couldn't help but laugh when he heard what Yu Wan said about borrowing the donkey from Poxia:
"You, don't be brave if you have nothing to do. This kind of strenuous work is not suitable for a girl's family. If I need help in the future, I will ask your Uncle Jiang for help. Do you understand?"
Yu Wan felt funny in her heart. This silly man was quite smart. He used the flowers I borrowed to offer to Buddha. This was something she was happy to see happen. Thinking about how to bring Yu Jiang and Ling Niang together, the more the better. What do you think? Yu Jiang is still a good man.
Thinking of this, he returned to Yu Jiang: "Okay, if there is any work that I can't do in the future, I will come over to see Uncle Jiang. Uncle Jiang, please don't bother me."
"No, Uncle Jiang doesn't mind it..." I wish you would come here every day, so that I would have a reason to see Ling Niang. Yu Jiang did not dare to say the following words, he only dared to think in his heart.
The two chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at Yu Wan's house. In the courtyard, Ling Niang filled two baskets with the things she wanted to sell. When she saw Yu Wan coming back, she was about to go out to help, but she didn't expect to see Yu Jiang at the door. There was a lot of trouble in front of the widow in broad daylight, and Ling Niang was a little embarrassed.
But when I saw Yu Jiang coming to help, I couldn’t just drive him away:
"Brother Jiang is here. Thank you for your hard work. This girl feels bad every time she catches up with you to help."
When Yu Jiang heard Ling Niang talking to him, his little heart burst into bloom, and he felt uneasy and said: "Hey, sister Ling, what kind words are you saying? I only helped because I saw that the little girl couldn't do anything on her own. No trouble.”
After saying that, he neatly lifted a basket to help fix it to the side of the car and said:
"This is something we need to go to the market today. I'll help you load it."
If you look carefully at this moment, you will see that there is a trace of blush on Yu Jiang's bronze, angular face, a rough man.
Ling Niang was always happy when she saw that Yu Jiang was so eager to help, even though she was indeed exhausted:
"That's all thanks to Brother Jiang."
"Hi, you're welcome." Yu Jiang responded carelessly.
When Yu Chen heard the noise outside the house, he got up from the bed. When he saw Uncle Jiang, whom he admired most, he immediately ran over excitedly:
"Uncle Jiang, Uncle Jiang, you are here!"
"Uncle Jiang, when will you teach me archery?"
After saying that, he stretched out his hands for Yu Jiang to hug him.
Yu Jiang had just finished fixing a basket, turned around, inserted his hands one by one under Yu Chen's armpits, lifted him up, and picked up Yu Chen: "Achen wants to learn archery? Okay, then how about Uncle Jiang teach you archery?"
"Okay, okay, once I learn how to do that, I can hunt chickens for my mother and sister every day, and by the way, I will also give them to Uncle Jiang and Dahuang." Yu Chen said solemnly in Yu Jiang's arms.
Yu Jiang couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he heard this, because his position in this kid's heart was on the same level as Dahuang.
Hearing Yu Chen call himself a humane "woof, woof", he barked twice in response.
Yu Jiang: "..."
After a while of tossing, the cart was filled to the brim. It would be really difficult for Ling Niang to push it alone.
Only Ling Niang and Yu Wan tied a rope in front of the car, with Yu Wan pulling in front and Ling Niang pushing behind, so that the wheel could move forward.
They thought they were going to do the same thing this time, but they didn't expect Yu Jiang to push the car and walk out of the hospital without saying anything. Yu Wan was naturally happy to see this, but Ling Niang was embarrassed and worried again. She was worried about being seen. Making irresponsible remarks is not good for Yu Jiang’s reputation. I feel sorry for asking Yu Jiang to help me every time:
"Brother Jiang, just go to the market with me and Wan'er pushing the cart, so I don't have to trouble you anymore."
Yu Jiang continued pushing the cart without being polite and said: "Sister Ling, don't waste your time. It will be noon in a while. You two are weak. By the time you push it to the market, everyone will have dispersed. Now I am It’s okay, I’m about to go to the market for a walk, so hurry up and pack your things and close the door to follow.”
Seeing this posture, Ling Niang had no choice but to put on her straw hat, hold Yu Chen's hand, and told Yu Wan not to leave anything behind, so she went out first. The thing was the embroidery job Ling Niang had received at the embroidery house, and she planned to take it to the embroidery house. Sell for silver.
Yu Wan checked again and again that nothing was left behind, and after locking the door, she took Dahuang and chased Ling Niang and the others.
