A car accident, our family of three crossed

After the top group left, Song Ning suddenly felt that the air became a lot fresher, and his mood was better than ever before. He even hummed a little tune.

"Are you happy?" Hang Shuheng asked with a smile as he sat in front of the stove and helped her watch the fire.

"necessary."

Song Ning was in a good mood and worked more efficiently. He quickly cooked porridge and fried some egg pancakes, so he had a breakfast for the day.

"Eat quickly. After that, let's go to the county to buy some necessities. The food and daily necessities in this house are too shabby."

After breakfast, the family of three came to the village entrance and took a ox cart to the city.

"Shuheng, Shuheng's wife, are you going to the county?"

"Hey! Auntie is going to the city too?"

Some familiar aunts greeted me warmly when they saw me.

The driver was He Tiesheng, the eldest son of the village head. When there was no work in the fields, he would drive the ox cart to do this business, earning some errand fees for each round trip!

Shangtang Village is a village near the county seat. It is not far from the county seat. Some people who are reluctant to pay for a ride can walk to the market and arrive in an hour. Riding a ox cart will naturally be much faster.

Although the ox cart was much faster than walking, the swaying people were almost shaken to pieces. After a bumpy ride, Song Ning finally arrived at the county town just when he felt like he had lost all hope in life. After entering the city, everyone agreed on the time of return and the meeting place, and then rushed to their destinations. Song Ning was not sure when they would stop shopping, so he told them not to wait for them when the time came.

Walking on this real ancient street is a new experience, which is quite different from those commercialized ancient towns in later generations. Unlike those packaged ancient towns in later generations, this place is more ancient and has a better atmosphere.

Song Ning held Yangyang's hand and strolled around with great interest, as if they were visiting a new tourist attraction. Hang Shuheng followed silently behind the mother and son.

After walking around for a long time, they suddenly realized that they hadn't bought anything they should have bought, except for the candied haws in Yangyang's hand. So they put away their playfulness and went straight to the point, with the first destination being the grocery store.

I picked up some necessities at the grocery store, including oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, various seasonings and some daily necessities. I put them together and in the end I ended up buying quite a lot.

After storing the things at the grocery store, they went to the East Market and bought a lot of lean and fat pork. Seeing that they bought a lot, the stall owner generously gave them two pork ribs.

When passing by a pastry shop, he bought a lot of pastries. Finally, he went to the rice shop and bought fine rice and noodles. Since he bought a lot at one time, after some bargaining, the shopkeeper finally agreed to help deliver the goods for free.

I got on the carriage of the rice store, and stopped by the grocery store to pick up the stored items before returning home. It was almost time for lunch when I got home, so I was busy preparing lunch and started to sort out the items I bought.

Song Ning divided the chopped pork and pastries into several portions, all of which were used as gifts. He only kept some lean pork and the two ribs given by the meat stall owner for himself.

After she packed the items, she clapped her hands and joked, "Well, after buying all these things, our family will almost become paupers."

They really didn't have much silver left in their hands. These were the few private savings that the original owner and his wife had secretly saved with great difficulty. Now they had squandered all the money and it was all gone.

The weather was hot and things were difficult to store, so they took a short rest and then went out with their things. Since it was just past mealtime and everyone had not yet gone to work in the fields after lunch, they would not make a wasted trip.

They stopped outside a rather simple yard. Through the not-so-high fence, they could see what was going on in the yard. A boy of about sixteen or seventeen was hammering on some wood, and there was a boy of about ten helping him.

"Shuisheng! Are you busy?" Hang Shuheng shouted inside.

The young man turned around when he heard the voice and was a little surprised to see the person coming. He quickly stopped what he was doing and ran over to open the door.

"Uncle Hengzi, Auntie, why are you here? Come in and sit down!" The young man was a little surprised and hurriedly welcomed them into the yard, "Mudun, hurry up and pour some water for uncle and auntie."

The boy named Mudun dropped the wood in his hand and ran into the house, carrying a kettle and a bowl.

Uncle? Aunt? Hang Shuheng and Song Ning looked at each other. Are they that old? Helpless, they are too old!

"I brought you some pork and some snacks. Thanks to you that day, otherwise your uncle, aunt and Yangyang would have drowned in the river." In fact, they had already drowned.

Song Ning thanked them sincerely and gave them an extra bag of candy in their gift compared to other families. She had learned that it was this boy named Shuisheng who arrived first and jumped into the water to save people. It can be said that the three of them were rescued from the river by this boy, and the villagers who arrived later helped pull them ashore.

"No, no, I can't accept this. Uncle, aunt, you can take it back." As soon as Shuisheng saw what Song Ning offered, he knew it cost a lot of money, and he refused to take it no matter what.

Song Ning had no choice but to pass the things to Xiao Mudun. "Mudun, come and take them. There are some cakes and candies in here. Take them and eat them!"

Although Mudun swallowed hard, he still didn't take it, just waiting for his brother to express his opinion. Although the two brothers earned some money from carpentry and lived a decent life, they would not spend the spare money on candy. Their parents died early, and the two brothers depended on each other for life, but they were not greedy or competitive. It was rare to have such education.

Hang Shuheng took it from her, forced it into Mu Dun's hand and said, "Don't look at your elder brother, listen to your uncle, take it."

Mudun looked at his brother helplessly, and Shuisheng said in embarrassment: "Uncle Hengzi, we really can't accept this. I didn't save you for..."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Hang Shuheng raised his hand to interrupt him, pointing to the basket on his back and said, "We're not just sending gifts to your family. We'll send gifts to everyone who helped us that day. You didn't expect anything in return, but we can't go ungrateful."

He glanced at the tools and wood that Shuisheng used for carpentry in the yard, and said, "It just so happens that I want you to make a bathtub. If you really feel bad about it, you can earn less money. Your uncle Hengzi doesn't have much money left."

After hearing what he said, Shuisheng scratched his head in embarrassment, "No need, Uncle Hengzi, whatever kind of fight you want, I'll help you fight it, and it won't cost you any money."

Mudun, however, rushed to say with admiration: "Brother, you are a great carpenter. You will definitely be able to make the best one."

"I can't let you work for nothing. You still have to pay me. Let's discuss the details."

Hang Shuheng asked Song Ning to take Yangyang to the next house first, and then he took Shuisheng to the pile of wood where he was working.

Mu Dun saw that his brother had not nodded, but his attitude of rejection had softened, so he quickly ran into the kitchen with the things in his arms. He looked outside like a mouse stealing oil, and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he quickly opened the candy bag, peeled a candy and put it in his mouth. The sweetness made him smile with his eyes curved.
