After escaping from famine, the evil stepmother was pampered by the villain Zaizai Tuan

Liu Yong looked up at Jiang Xiaohua, his eyes calm and without the slightest resentment.

"I also know that sooner or later such a day will come, but I just feel a bit reluctant to let it go."

He grinned and said, "Mom, I want to learn to drive a mule cart."

It's not easy enough for the stepmother to pull them up to this point.

As the eldest son in the family, he always has to share more for his stepmother and the family.

Jiang Xiaohua understood Liu Yong's intention and said with a smile, "You can learn more skills."

"However, you are too young to drive on the road. Someone will do this job."

She said and looked at Li Yuanzhi.

Li Yuanzhi immediately patted his chest and agreed, "I know how to ride a horse and drive a cart, just leave it to me!"

Aunt Zhou and others haven't come back yet from shopping.

Jiang Xiaohua's family stood under the lamp pole and waited for about a cup of tea.

Zhang Fugui ran over from the east road with a smile on his face, dragging a wooden frame cart in his hand.

"The car, the car is here!"

He stopped for a moment to catch his breath, then said, "What do you think of this car?"

Everyone circled the car twice.

Common flatbed style, but the wood looks dirty and old.

The board was covered with thick dust, and there were spider webs on the edges of the wheels.

Li Yuanzhi reached out and pressed a warped wooden board on the car.

As soon as he pressed it down, the wooden board stood up stubbornly and made an old creaking sound.

The expressions of the four little Doudings were a little indescribable.

Liu Ming said with a grimace, "This car won't fall apart when pulled, right?"

"No." Jiang Xiaohua replied, "As long as it is wiped clean and repaired, it will be ready for use."

Jiang Xiaohua has already seen the car, and the key parts such as the shaft and wheels are all intact.

Zhang Fugui smiled and nodded, "Mrs. Jiang is indeed knowledgeable."

"There are not many problems with this car. As long as the loosened wooden boards are tightened again, it can be used normally."

Jiang Xiaohua asked, "How much does this car cost?"

Zhang Fugui waved his hand, "No money required."

Several people were surprised: "No money?"

Zhang Fugui smiled honestly and explained the origin of this flatbed truck.

It turned out that some family members had left them outside for a long time.

Zhang Fugui had seen this car before, and just now he went to ask the owner of the house.

The original owner of the flatbed truck had bought a new carriage and disliked the fact that the old truck couldn't be sold, so it took up space at the door.

He originally hoped that someone would help him clean up the mess.

When Zhang Fugui arrived at his house, they hit it off and got a car for free.

Although Jiang Xiaohua was happy, she still had a clear mind and asked, "Did they give you the car so easily?"

"Are you required to do something else in exchange?"

Zhang Fugui wrote lightly, "It's not a big deal, just ask me to clean the big area at the door, remove all the debris, and clean it up for them."

Jiang Xiaohua looked at the dust on Zhang Fugui's body and felt very sorry.

She took out the three taels of silver she had prepared long ago and handed it to Li Yuanzhi.

Li Yuanzhi understood, took the silver, and stuffed it directly into Zhang Fugui's arms.

Of course, Zhang Fugui still tried to evade it in every possible way, "I just did a small favor, I didn't put in much effort."

As both men, Li Yuanzhi easily got into trouble with him.

In the end, he gave Zhang Fugui three taels of silver.

Zhang Fugui held the money in his hands and felt ashamed, "Three taels of silver is too much."

Jiang Xiaohua said, "Sister-in-law Huaihua took us in first."

"Brother Zhang saved a lot of money by helping me buy mules and cars."

"You deserve these commissions."

Zhang Fugui couldn't resist it again and again, so he had no choice but to accept the money.

Three taels of silver is definitely not a small sum for ordinary bankers.

It is enough for a family to live relatively comfortably for two to three months.

Zhang Fugui also knew people nearby, so he quickly went to pick up the tools.

Re-nail the loose nails on the car with your own hands.

"Now, let alone the capital, you can even go to the northwest, no problem!"

Jiang Xiaohua solemnly thanked her.

The sun was already setting in the west, and Zhang Fugui had to rush back home, so he said goodbye to Jiang Xiaohua and his family.

Aunt Zhou, Uncle Liu and others returned to the light pole.

When Jiang Xiaohua saw the newly bought mule and flatbed truck, they all admired them.

Uncle Heiwa touched the mule's smooth fur and said, "This is a very good animal."

"However, the better the animals, the more careful they need to be cared for."

"Don't make it too tired at ordinary times, so that it can be used for a long time."

Liu Yong was very interested in this, "Grandpa Heiwa, what else should I pay attention to when raising a mule?"

"How do you take careful care of it?"

Uncle Heiwa smiled and said, "What, you want to raise this mule?"

Liu Yong turned to look at Jiang Xiaohua.

Jiang Xiaohua responded with an encouraging smile and told him to do whatever he wanted to do.

Liu Yong then solemnly said, "From now on, I will take care of Daqing. I don't know how to do it. Please ask Grandpa Heiwa to teach me more."

This county town is too small, and a curfew is imposed at night, so outsiders are not allowed to sleep on the streets.

Jiang Xiaohua and others could only talk while walking towards the north gate of the county seat.

Uncle Heiwa told Liu Yong everything about raising the mules.

How to brush mules, how to prevent diseases when the weather is cold, how to mix feed...

Liu Yong listened extremely carefully. When he encountered something he didn't understand, he would ask questions from time to time. He had to understand everything.

When we walked out of the north gate of the county, it was already sunset.

Everyone found a leeward place near the official road and lit a bonfire.

Everyone had lunch in the city, and since they are not hungry yet, there is no need to make dinner.

Since everyone was alone, Jiang Xiaohua called Oolong out and took him to eat.

Oolong likes Xiaolongbao very much and can swallow three or five in one bite.

Xiao Miaomiao squatted next to it and patted it gently, "Eat slowly, there is still more."

On the other side, Li Yuanzhi and the boys were studying how to harness the mule cart.

Liu Guang said anxiously, "Mr. Li, do you know how to hitch a car?"

Liu Yong also looked at Daqing Mule worriedly, "Mr. Li, please be gentle, don't hurt Daqing."

While Li Yuanzhi was busy working, he said, "It's okay, he'll be fine soon. That's what I remember."

Although Li Yuanzhi had not driven a chariot himself, he had ridden in one.

He has never eaten pork before but has always seen pigs running away. He is still very confident in himself.

After some operations, the big green mule securely caught the flatbed truck.

All three boys clapped and cheered.

Mrs. Zhou, Uncle Liu and Mrs. Zhou sat around the fire to warm themselves.

Hearing the cheers, the four people looked over with smiles.

Aunt Zhou said, "Where do your family plan to go tomorrow?"

Uncle Liu Er had already planned and pointed out the road, "There are several villages over there, and I remember there is a lot of vacant land over there."

"Our family plans to find another place to take root and continue farming."

Aunt Zhou had another place to go, "I asked in the city and there is a small town not far to the west from here."
