Mrs. Tan also sighed and nodded: "That's all we can do. Tomorrow I will go to Matchmaker Zhou's house to sit for a while. She travels to many places, so let her help inquire!"

Old Yangtou warned again: "Yeah. That's good. When you go back, remember not to leave empty-handed. You have to spend the money you should spend. The matchmaker can't be careless about your children's marriage!"

"I understand. The water is cold. I'll wipe it up for you. You can go to bed and rest!"

"Um!"

A night of silence.

Before dawn, Mrs. Sun climbed up and put on her clothes and shoes.

My daughter went back to town to sell tofu, and she didn't have time to make breakfast, so she went on an empty stomach.

When Sun thought about this incident, she felt uncomfortable.

No, I have to go to town again today, and I must make sure my daughter is full before heading out!

The smoke from the chimney is curling up, and the villagers in Changping Village are still snoring in bed. In the kitchen of Yang Ruoqing's house, Mrs. Sun is kneading cornmeal with a soybean oil lamp.

When dawn broke in the east, Yang Ruoqing finished washing and came to the kitchen.

Just in time for the fragrant and sweet corn pancakes to be cooked.

"Qing'er, have you washed up? Come over and eat quickly, I left an extra spoonful of caramel!"

Mrs. Sun put boiling hot water into the earthen pot and called Yang Ruoqing.

"Um!"

Yang Ruoqing walked over and was surprised when she saw the tortillas in the bowl.

"Hey, why are you doing so many things?"

Picked up a thin and crispy tortilla and took a bite.

Well, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, fragrant and sweet, so delicious!

"I scooped out an extra bowl of flour and baked Tang Yazi's portion," said Sun.

"Oh!" Yang Ruoqing nodded, standing by the pot and eating corn pancakes with relish.

When half of the pancake was eaten, there was a gentle knock on the door at the side door.

"It's definitely Tang Yazi who's here. I'll open the door!"

Before Yang Ruoqing could say anything, Mrs. Sun put down the pot of hot water in her hand, turned around and left the kitchen.

After a while, Sun returned, followed by Luo Fengtang.

The low kitchen looked even lower and cramped because of Luo Fengtang's sudden intrusion.

Yang Ruoqing smiled at Luo Fengtang: "Coming?"

"Yeah!" Luo Fengtang nodded.

"Tangyazi, come here, eat the corn pancakes that have just come out of the pan!" Mrs. Sun had already handed over the corn pancakes.

"Auntie, I'm not hungry. I just ate something from home..."

Luo Fengtang glanced at the golden tortilla, his eyes lit up slightly, but he still politely postponed it.

Qing'er's family had just been separated, and they were very poor. All the rice and noodles they ate were bought from rice and grain shops in the town.

No matter how tempting the cake was, he couldn't bear to eat it.

However, Ms. Sun was still there urging her: "Eat, eat, why are you and I seeing each other outside?"

Seeing that Luo Fengtang still refused to answer, Sun secretly poked Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing came over understandingly and said to Luo Fengtang: "My mother will bake your share, you can just eat it. Once you are full, you will have the strength to push the cart on the road!"

"Um!"

Luo Fengtang lowered his eyes, thanked Mrs. Sun, took the pancake and ate it.

It's fragrant and sweet, far more delicious than those wild vegetable and grain cakes posted by my uncle...

Yang Ruoqing ate two pancakes, and Luo Fengtang, under Sun's strong coaxing, ate four!

"Auntie, I'm really full. My stomach is about to burst. I really can't eat anymore!"

When the fifth cake was handed to him, Luo Fengtang declined it with all his strength.

"Young man, you are a poor man. You are eating properly at your age! Why can't you fit in one more pancake?" Mrs. Sun was still there to persuade her.

Luo Fengtang looked for help at Yang Ruoqing, who was drinking water.

Yang Ruoqing wiped the water stains from the corners of her mouth, looking at Sun's behavior and she couldn't laugh or cry.

"Mom, I know you have good intentions, but this is not a fillip, so just do what you want!"

Yang Ruoqing said something, but Sun had no choice but to give it up.

However, he still wrapped the remaining cornmeal pancakes in the bowl and stuffed them into Luo Fengtang.

"Take it with you and eat when you get hungry on the way!"

…

The unicycle was borrowed from Uncle Daniu's family.

There are wooden shelves more than half a meter wide on the left and right sides of the bottom wheel for storing things.

The handlebars are the same as those of a scooter, and the road in rural Tuba is a bit bumpy.

There is a rope tied to the front of the cart. When pushing the cart, the rope is put around the waist of the person pushing the cart, so that the balance can be better maintained.

Four barrels of tofu are placed on wooden frames on both sides.

Then use a piece of hemp rope, wrap it around, then tie it tightly, and you can hit the road.

"Qing'er, Tangyazi, be careful on the road. Come home as soon as you finish delivering the tofu, don't delay!"

Mrs. Sun sent them to the entrance of the village, gave them some instructions, and then turned back to the village.

Here, Tang Yazi is pushing a wheelbarrow and walking steadily on the country road.

Yang Ruoqing waved her hands and walked beside him. The two of them faced the rising sun and walked toward Qingshui Town in the east...

From Changping Village to Qingshui Town, it is more than thirty miles.

Halfway through, we have to pass through a small forest with several forked roads.

Go east to Qingshui Town, go north to Wangjiang County, go west... Yang Ruoqing doesn't know. Go south, go to Mianniu Mountain.

"Tangyazi, it's still early, let's rest in the woods ahead!"

Yang Ruoqing suggested.

This was the first time she came to the town with her fifth uncle Yang Huazhou to go to the market, carrying a bunch of things on her back, and didn't even stop on the way.

Thirty miles of land is nothing!

However, Tang Yazi was pushing a wheelbarrow, and there were more than a hundred kilograms of tofu and water in the wheelbarrow.

The road conditions were not good, so he had to work hard to maintain his balance, which must have been very tiring!

Beside him, Luo Fengtang heard Yang Ruoqing's suggestion and glanced sideways at her.

The girl's breathing was a little unsteady as she walked, and her face was flushed.

He has good leg strength. In the past, every time he carried an animal weighing dozens of kilograms to the town, he could reach it in one go.

She is a girl, and her foot strength cannot compare with him.

She must be tired!

Thinking of this, Luo Fengtang nodded: "Okay, then let's take a rest!"

Put a rope around a thick tree, press down the handle of the wheelbarrow, and use stones to support the front and rear wheels.

After finding such an ingenious balance point, the tofu bucket does not need to be taken down, and the two of them can rest aside.

Yang Ruoqing was sitting and Luo Fengtang was standing. She took out a bucket container made of bamboo.

When you open the bamboo lid, the water inside is still warm.

"Tangyaozi, drink some water!"

Yang Ruoqing handed over the bamboo tube.

I had eaten dry biscuits in the morning, and after traveling a long distance, I was definitely thirsty.

Sure enough, Luo Fengtang didn't think much, took the bamboo tube, raised his head and took two sips.

"Have you finished drinking? Do you want more?" Yang Ruoqing asked with a smile.

Luo Fengtang shook his head: "I'm done drinking."
Chapter completed!
