C21 To catch up

When the sky was still gray and bright, Mo Linyu had already woken up. The first thing he did when he woke up was to wake Mo Xiaoyan up.

Dong dong dong ?

"Xiaoyan, are you up yet?" Mo Linyu asked.

Knocking on the door woke Mo Xiaoxia up. Seeing that Mo Xiaoyan was still sleeping soundly, she could only wake up. Mo Xiaoyan slept soundly, so the knocking on the door and Mo Linyu's shouts did not wake her up.

Mo Xiaoxia shook Mo Xiaoyan and said: "Xiaoyan, wake up, didn't you want to go to town today? Wake up quickly, Big Brother has already called you."

Mo Xiaoyan's eyes were still hazy and sleepy. The room was still dark and probably the sky wasn't even lit yet.

Mo Xiaoyan slowly groped her way to put it on, then went outside to wash her face in cold water. Only then did she feel a little more awake.

They went into the kitchen. Lady Li had already cooked some porridge, and it was even vegetable porridge. The two of them ate a bit, and then started on their journey.

The sky wasn't completely bright yet, and along the way, he didn't see many people. There were quite a few dogs barking.

"Big brother, how long do we have to walk for?" Mo Xiaoyan could not help but ask.

Mo Linyu replied: "Soon, go to the entrance of the village and get an ox carriage. Elder Zhao will be waiting there every day at this time."

The two of them walked quite quickly, and before long, they arrived at the entrance of the village. Right now, the ox-cart was parked there, and an old man was sitting there smoking a pipe.

"Elder Zhao, you're so early today. Have you eaten breakfast?" Mo Linyu smiled and greeted his.

"I just finished eating and it's still early. I think we'll need a while to get to the market. You guys sit here for a while, we'll hurry on our way once we're full." The Elder Zhao said.

"Grandpa Zhao, do you know how to put this basket in the way?" Mo Xiaoyan asked obediently.

"Hur hur, it's alright. Just let it go. It won't take up much space."

The two of them sat on the ox-cart. After a while, a few people came one after another, and after the ox-cart was full, they started to travel, the journey was bumpy, and Mo Xiaoyan was not used to riding on it for the first time.

After arriving at the market, there were quite a few people. Even though it was still early in the morning, this ancient people's market was really too early. They all woke up early in the morning to go to the market.

"Big Brother, shall we go to the medicine store now?" Mo Xiaoyan said.

"En, let's go. I'll bring you there."

He turned left and right before arriving at a medicine store. It appeared to be a large one with quite a large area.

"Shopkeeper, are you here to collect herbs?" Mo Xiaoyan asked.

The shopkeeper glanced at Mo Xiaoyan's basket and said: "Little girl, do you want to sell herbs?"

"Well, yes."

"Show me." The shopkeeper said.

Mo Xiaoyan handed the basket over to him. The shopkeeper glanced at it and said: "En, not bad. You basked it quite well. I'll weigh it for you."

"Thank you, Shopkeeper." Mo Xiaoyan said happily.

The shopkeeper said, "How about I give you eighty copper coins?"

When Mo Xiaoyan heard the price of eighty copper coins, she felt that it was not a small sum.

Mo Xiaoyan smiled and said: "Mn, good, thank you shopkeeper."

Walking out of the medicine store, Mo Xiaoyan wanted to hand over the eighty over copper coins to Mo Linyu, but Mo Linyu insisted on not giving it to him. Mo Xiaoyan felt very helpless, so she put it away and thought of giving it to Lady Li instead.

"Big Brother, I don't think there's any rice or vegetables left at home. Let's go buy some." Mo Xiaoyan said.

Mo Linyu thought about it, that was true, for the past few days, his family had been drinking brown rice porridge everyday, so there were no dishes.
