C38 Anorexia

"Hehe, it's fine. The sun is too hot today and I'm feeling dizzy from the sun's rays. There's a carriage there, you should hurry up and go." Elder Zhao didn't mind at all.

"Thank you, Grandpa Zhao. I'll be leaving first then."

Looking at the basket on the oxcart, Mo Xiaoyan was troubled again.

Seeing Mo Xiaoyan standing there motionlessly, Chen Zimo seemed to understand Mo Xiaoyan's problem.

"Xiao Qi, go and help take Xiaoyan's basket off her back. She can't even move a little girl like you." Chen Zimo said.

Hearing Chen Zimo's words, Mo Xiaoyan felt very grateful in his heart. She had asked the Elder Zhao to help him carry it just now, and she was too embarrassed to trouble the other party anymore.

Xiao Qi jumped down from the carriage, picked up Mo Xiaoyan's basket and placed it on the carriage.

"Alright, little girl, hurry up and come up. We should hurry on our way." Xiao Qi said as he looked at Mo Xiaoyan who was standing on the ground.

"I know." Mo Xiaoyan awkwardly climbed onto the carriage.

The carriage was much more comfortable than the bumpy ox-cart. Although it was not as comfortable as a modern car, it was still good enough. A carriage was much more expensive than an ox-cart. In general, only wealthy people could afford a carriage like this.

"Xiaoyan, this basket is still a bit heavy. Did a little girl carry it from town?" Chen Zimo said as he looked at the basket that was filled to the brim.

"Of course, who else would it be?" Mo Xiaoyan asked.

"I didn't expect a little girl like you to be so tall and thin. You also have quite a bit of strength. I've really underestimated you."

Hearing him say that, Mo Xiaoyan was naturally unhappy. Although she was still a child, her mental age was still around 20 years old.

Mo Xiaoyan said expressionlessly: "Thank you for your praise."

Mo Xiaoyan pretended not to hear what Chen Zimo was saying behind him, and completely ignored him, making him feel a little awkward.

The Chen family happened to pass by Mo Xiaoyan's house, and the carriage arrived at Mo Xiaoyan's house, which also saved her from carrying such a heavy thing to such a far away.

Xiao Qi took the initiative to help Mo Xiaoyan out of the basket on her back.

Mo Xiaoyan thanked Xiao Qi but did not greet him. She carried the basket home with difficulty.

Xiao Qi stood outside, and felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. Chen Zimo didn't say anything, but still maintained his usual smile.

When Mo Xiaoyan returned home, she took out everything she bought today. The first thing she did was to take the meat out and put it in the basin filled with cold water.

In ancient times, it was inconvenient to do without a refrigerator. Things couldn't be stored, especially on such a hot day.

He took the vegetables out and placed them in the kitchen along with the new bowl. He also put the old one in an inconspicuous place. In the future, he would use the new bowl for his meal.

He quickly found a place to hide the rest of his silver today, and passed it to Lady Li to keep after she returned.

After putting away all the things she had eaten today, Mo Xiaoyan sat down to rest for a while. Furthermore, she ate something good before coming back, otherwise, she would definitely be hungry by now.

Looks like they definitely came back very late today, and could only cook for themselves in the afternoon. With the previous time's experience, this time, it wouldn't be difficult for Mo Xiaoyan either. I just can't make it too delicious. It's good as long as it can be eaten. If it's too delicious, people will treat me as a monster. The original owner had never cooked before.
