  Chapter 77 What a coincidence

  Huo Erhuai couldn't believe that his family's boat could leave a cabin.

   Seeing his unbelievable look, Huo Xi nodded at him: "Yes. Brother Zhao Sui may think that we are going to go north with Nian'er. There are weak and weak on board, and the decision is to leave one for us."

  Huo Erhuai was both happy and worried after hearing this.

   Pulling Huo Xi away and avoiding the crowd, he whispered: "I didn't bring my thoughts. Are we cheating the yamen?"

   Little ordinary people can't afford to offend officials.

   "We didn't lie to them. Did they ask something?" Huo Xi didn't care.

   It's just leaving a cabin.

   And it’s better to be a little special, there are always some people who praise the high and depress the low. It's a bit special, it makes people feel that there are people in their yamen, so that they can act more smoothly along the way.

   comforted: "Dad, don't worry, nothing is wrong. Daddy, me, and uncle, the three of us have to spend the night on the boat, so we can't leave a place that can shelter from the wind and rain? My uncle and I are still two children."

  Huo Erhuai was stunned for a moment, that's right, there are still two children on board, and he felt relieved.

  Looking at the bamboo piece in his hand again, the width of **** and the length of a palm, there are words he doesn't know written on it. Asked in a low voice: "Just now the boy from the Zhao family said that the amount of food is recorded on the bamboo piece. How much is it?"

   "Eighty stone."

   "Eighty stone?"

  Huo Erhuai tilted his head and counted. He knew how much food his family's boat could hold in these days. Just now I heard that the load is eight cents, so my boat must carry at least one hundred stones.

   Only eighty stones of grain are shipped now?

  Huo Erhuai's heart skipped a beat, and he glanced at Zhao Sui.

   "Your brother Zhao Sui helped us this time. We have to remember his favor."

  Otherwise, if it is enough to hold a hundred stones of grain, the cloth, wine, bedding, etc. on the ship may not be able to hold it.

  Huo Xi nodded. Otherwise, how can there be someone in the court who is good at being an official? There is someone they know in the Hebo Institute, who can bring them a lot of convenience.

   After returning to the boat, he told Yang Fu about the situation. Yang Fu was also very happy, and said that he would give Zhao Sui crabs to eat when he saw Zhao Sui next time.

Huo Xi said to Huo Erhuai: "Father, go back to Taoyedu at night, tell everyone, and ask them about their situation. See if there is any problem with putting our cloth on their boat and whether it can be shipped. It is best to let Taoye Everyone from Dudu will be the first group to set off with us at Maoshi the day after tomorrow. It’s good to have someone to take care of you.”

  Huo Erhuai nodded straightly, and agreed.

   "Xi'er, are we not going back to Taoyedu at night?" Yang Fu asked her.

   "We're going to look for mother at night, and we're going to take things to Huai'an. Dad will pick us up early tomorrow morning. I'm afraid we won't have time to look for mother tomorrow."

"OK."

  Huo Xi and Yang Fu entered the outer city and met Kan Er near Qionghua Lane.

   "Little lady of the Huo family!"

  Huo Xi was stunned when he saw him, what a coincidence? She quickly smiled at him: "Big Brother."

   "My surname is Mu. My father is Zhao, my son is Mu, that Mu."

  Huo Xi nodded and smiled at him: "Brother Mu."

  Which wood? What is the father's covenant, and what is the son's covenant? Yang Fu looked at this and that. It seems that he and Xi'er haven't read enough books.

  Kan Er looked at Huo Xi, approving in his heart, he was indeed a child from a wealthy family. Look at the other one, I'm afraid I don't know what his last name is.

   "What a coincidence, I was relaxing with my young master in Mochou Lake, and I happened to meet you."

  Huo Xi turned his head to look, but he didn't see the proud young master, nor did he see another guard beside him.

   "Yeah. What a coincidence. We're always on the water."

   "I know, so it's a coincidence."

After Kan Er finished speaking, he glanced at their back baskets: "Is there any bald butter? My young master doesn't have your bald butter, and the rice is not delicious. Didn't you say that there are shrimps last time, and I will tell you Buy some."

  Huo Xi was very happy, there are repeat customers now.

   "Yes, there are several kinds of shrimp, but they are all on the boat."

  Seeing the regretful expression on the other party's face, Huo Xi thought for a while and said, "If you can get to the outer city ferry tomorrow morning, I can give it to you."

  Kan Er's eyes lit up: "All right, I'll be waiting for you at the ferry in the outer city tomorrow morning."

  What's the matter early in the morning, squatting in Qionghua Lane every day for the past few days, but no one is squatting.

  Having Huo Xi's permission, Kan Er left briskly. Today, I don't need to keep an eye on him anymore.

  Yang Fu is very happy when someone buys the things he makes at home and gets money.

   "Xi'er, what's that brother's last name?"

   "The surname is Mu. The emperor or the princes worship their ancestors. They have strict regulations. The father who lives on the left is Zhao, and the son who lives on the right is Mu. It is that Mu. I will teach you to write 'Zhaomu' at night."

  Yang Fu nodded, and silently recited in his heart "the father who lives on the left is Zhao, and the son who lives on the right is Mu". At night, he was able to learn two more characters, and he also understood the ancestral temple system.

   Before the two turned into Qionghua Lane, they saw Mrs. Yang. With Nian'er on his back, he was carrying things in both hands.

   "Mother!" "Sister!" The two hurried over.

  Mr. Yang turned her head and saw that it was them, she smiled: "Xi'er, Fu'er."

   The two ran to take the things in Yang's hands, seeing Huo Nian dancing happily when he saw them, he stepped forward to tease them.

  The family happily walked to the small courtyard they rented.

   "Sister, did you go shopping? What did you buy?" Yang Fu looked at the many things in his hand.

   "Some things to eat." Yang said casually, seeing the two children very happy.

  Mr. Yang went ashore to live these days. Although she was not used to being away from her husband, Huo Xi and Yang Fu, her life was much richer.

  From being uncomfortable at the beginning, to being able to chat and amuse with people in the alley now, to go in and out of teahouses and restaurants with a normal look, and bargaining with fellow fish sellers in the fish market street, just like a woman living in the market.

  The door to the new world is wide open.

   After entering the small courtyard, Mrs. Yang hadn't finished talking about what she had done that day.

  Yang Fu's eyes widened when he heard this, "Sister, you have a rich day. I thought you would be boring."

"The first two days were a bit uncomfortable. I felt that the yard was empty, and I wandered around the yard with my mind full of thoughts. I didn't know what to do. Whenever I was free, I wanted to sit down and mend the fishnet. There was no fishnet to mend, and there was no smell of water. I feel uncomfortable all over.”

  Huo Xi laughed. Mrs. Yang has been floating on the water for ten years, and once she went ashore to live, she couldn't get used to it.

"Two days ago, Xi'er told me that I wanted to make some snacks to go with the wine, so I carried Nian'er to the teahouses and wine shops outside, and I could sit there for half a day for a penny, and they didn't chase us away. I just sat inside and watched how the little ladies selling wine yelled and what they were selling."

"You don't know, those little ladies who sell wine and snacks can earn a lot of money in a day. In addition to selling wine and food, they also get rewards from many customers. They earn at least two or three taels of silver a day! Tsk tsk .”

   Yang's envy is broken.

  Where is it like them, floating in the water, blown by the wind and rain. When the net is empty, I feel uncomfortable, and when the net is full, although I am happy, being dragged into the water does not happen once or twice.

  Sometimes I can’t sell twenty or thirty coins for a few days.

   Fortunately, they are getting along now.

   "Sister, why did you buy such candy?" Yang Fu looked at Yang with a puzzled expression.

  His sister floated away as soon as she landed? Are you willing to buy so much expensive candy?

   Are you going to work tomorrow? I feel like I'm completely confused, and I don't know the world beyond the mountain. My water cream is used up, so I can only ask Hungry Mo to buy medicine and run errands, and the pharmacy only has Pien Tze Huang and Dabao, I am so worried~
