Time flies and Li Ruyi and Li Ankang are also thirteen years old.

The teacher in the school is getting older, and he has been ill for a long time, which seems to be life-threatening, and he has not recovered intermittently.

Li Ankang's strong interest in dialogue books continues to this day, and he has written a lot intermittently. From jerky at the beginning to gradually smoother later on.

After no longer having to go to school, Mao Xiaosui and the two were thinking of sending Li Ankang to the county to study for another two years.

Li Ankang has grown very fast in the past few years, and the shadow of his short stature in previous years is no longer visible, and his facial features are becoming more and more like Li Yunshan, but he is still childish and looks much gentler than Li Yunshan.

When they were discussing Li Ankang's future destination, Li Ankang said, "I want to go outside and have a look."

Li Yunshan's first reaction was to refuse, and Mao Xiaosui was almost the same.

Li Ankang showed a different determination than before. He said, "I want to see the world that my mother said, see the mountains and rivers, and experience the excitement that is different from that in the town... I am not a child anymore and can take care of myself."

Mao Xiaosui asked him, "Are you serious that you don't want to read anymore?"

Li Ankang nodded firmly.

Mao Xiaosui glanced at Li Yunshan. When he saw his frown, he smiled and asked, "Do you think you have grown up? Do you have the ability to support yourself? If you want to see the world, then you have money."

Li Ankang blinked, as if he was discouraged, and asked in a low and uncertain voice, "Won't Mom give me any money?"

"Of course." Mao Xiaosui pointed at Li Ruyi, "She helps earn money in the store. You have spent a lot on studying over the years. Your father and I asked you to study, so naturally it cannot be counted on you, but since you don't After studying, you have to support yourself. This is the rule and the way to survive. After all, there is no free food in the world. You have to understand this truth. You can't help in the store as you wish, but you have to go out and have fun. "

Li Ruyi nodded, "It's not fair."

Li Ankang accepted it calmly and asked, "Then how do I make money and what do I need to do?"

Mao Xiaosui was happy, "Would you rather work to earn money than study?"

Li Ankang nodded, "I don't like it."

Mao Xiaosui stopped trying to persuade him and said, "Then you can run the business with your Uncle Qin. Don't you want to go out and have a look? This job is quite suitable for you."

Li Ankang agreed.

Ding Pingshun started his own business a few years ago, but now it is Su Yong who runs the business in the shop. It happened that they were going out these days, so Mao Xiaosui thought it would be good to let Li Ankang go. It not only allows him to see the outside world, but also allows him to experience the difficulty and sadness of life. The most important point is that he is too young and has never gone out alone. You can use this as an excuse to make him more familiar, so that he will not be too panicked when going out in the future.

Since he is a buddy, the cost of business trips is naturally limited. The money was drawn directly from the shop. Qin An estimated the number of days, one or two a day.

There was no shortage of money in the family, and Li Ankang didn't have much idea about spending money. He just felt that the money was too little. He wanted to get more money, but Qin An ruthlessly refused and said, "One tael of silver can buy sixty kilograms of white rice, which is enough for one person." A person lives for one month. You are used to being a young master, and you don’t know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are."

Li Ankang and Li Ruyi were born with treasures and had never suffered, so they naturally didn't know about it, but they didn't force it. They collected the money carefully and set off with Qin An.

Mao Xiaosui and Li Yunshan didn't send him off either. Starting from the town, Li Ankang was quite disappointed and kept looking back.

Qin An smiled and said, "We only went there for a while and then came back. We still want to see the outside world."

Li Ankang replied, "It's my first time leaving home, so it's normal to have to leave."

Qin An shrugged.

_

The farthest place Li Ankang has been is the county. And it was several years ago.

Li Ankang was always excited about this trip. He held Wangwang in his arms and talked to Qin An all the time.

The weather was cool in the early summer morning, and the carriage was still a little cold when walking on it. Fortunately, the two of them were dressed thickly enough, so they didn't feel cold.

We set off in the morning and stopped for a while on the road at noon. When we were about to eat, several people driving carriages also stopped. After asking, I found out that they were going to Su County to deliver goods.

In the morning, Mao Xiaosui made a lot of food, and they were lighting a fire and heating it in jars.

The pork slices with beans and sweet and sour pork ribs smelled delicious. There wasn't much, so Qin An didn't ask them to join them. .

It probably tasted too good and those people kept staring at it while they were eating.

Li Ankang smiled and asked, "Would you like to eat something together?"

Qin An's eyes twitched. There weren't many things in the first place, two yuan for this, three yuan for that. In the end, he wasn't even full.

The group of people pulled the goods slowly and left first after eating. They also had to wash the pots.

Qin An was too lazy to wash up and ordered Li Ankang to "go wash up."

Li Ankang didn't ask why. He dug some soil and wiped the oil from the jar, then went to the river to wash it.

When he came back from washing, Qin An was eating sesame seed cakes. Li Ankang put the jar away and said, "I'm not full either."

"I still don't believe you when I say you're heartless." Qin An scolded, "That's food for the two of us. You have to share it with others. There's no meat in the sesame cakes."

Li Ankang was a little embarrassed, "I'm just being polite."

Qin An snorted, sat down to the side after eating and drinking, and pointed his chin at the horse rope, "Come on, Pingshun is already able to drive and deliver goods at this age."

Li Ankang nodded and tried to drive. He found that it was not difficult. Just when he was about to say to Qin An, "Get some sleep." When he turned around, he found that the man had fallen asleep leaning against the car.

Li Ankang didn't know the road, but the tracks of the truck in front of him were obvious, so he followed it.

The two horses ran fast and caught up with the people in a short time. After saying hello and asking for directions, I went to Li Ankang and walked forward.

Qin An originally just wanted to squint for a while, but unexpectedly fell asleep and woke up to find that he was almost at the inn.

Li Ankang probably felt it was novel, he was quite happy along the way, didn't feel tired, and was smiling.

Qin An stretched out and asked him, "Are you tired?"

Li Ankang shook his head, "You're not tired, just rest. I'll drive from now on."

Qin An didn't insist. He turned around and took out a water bottle from the carriage and took a few sips.

It was still early when they arrived at the inn. In order to save money, they stayed in a room for two people. Li Ankang ordered a bucket of water to take a bath. Qin An was lying on the bed and reminded leisurely, "You have to pay for this part of the money yourself."

Li Ankang was speechless, "Uncle Qin, you are really a money-lover."

Qin An laughed and said, "This is what your mother meant."

Li Ankang took a comfortable bath and went out to order some food.

After eating, the two went to sleep directly. After a day's journey, Li Ankang was also tired, and his excitement about going out gradually subsided.

The inn was noisy with people coming and going, and sometimes people came to stay in the hotel in the middle of the night. Fortunately, Li Ankang was young and slept deeply, so he was not affected. When he woke up in the morning, he was an energetic young man again.

Qin An was used to running over the years, so he fell asleep quite well, but he woke up several times in the middle of the night, feeling that he didn't get enough sleep.

After having breakfast and grabbing some steamed buns, they went to Su County first.
