Chapter 57 - Chapter 57 - Mo Xiao Xia's Disappearance
Master Zhao was sitting on the oxcart, waiting for someone. Mo Xiao Yan walked over and asked: ”Grandpa Zhao, what do you think? We, this thing, do take up a lot of space here. I'd like to take your oxcart back to your place. It's still too early anyway, you can still rush back later to pull some people over. ”
Hearing that it was okay, Mo Xiao Yan was not worried anymore. As long as the price was reasonable, it could be negotiated.
”Then, Grandpa Zhao, how many coppers do you think you'll get for this trip?” Mo Xiao Yan asked.
The Master Zhao thought for a moment, then said: ”How about this, this trip to the Master Zhao is worth 40 copper coins, Little Xiao Yan, do you think that will work?”
Mo Xiao Yan thought about it for a while. Forty copper coins were not expensive, because if he were to return at this hour, he would not be able to get people to rush to the market.
”Mm, alright. Forty copper coins. Then let's go, Grandpa Zhao.” Mo Xiao Yan said happily.
Mo Lin Yu placed the barbeque on the ox-cart and the two sat inside. Then, the Master Zhao drove the ox-cart back to the village.
Mo Xiao Yan thought, if he were to go home every day, wouldn't he have to buy an ox-cart? He wanted to buy an ox-cart, but in order to do business, he would have to invest some money and save some money. He decided to wait until he had more money before he could consider buying an ox-cart.
When they reached the entrance of the village, Mo Xiao Yan paid for the oxcart and the two hurried back.
When he returned home, Lee's was drying his clothes.
Seeing that Mo Xiao Yan had returned so early, he said: ”Xiao Yan, why are you back so early today, are you not playing around in the town?”
Without waiting for Mo Xiao Yan to reply, Mo Lin Yu came in from the back with something in his hand. Lee's saw the barbecue rack Mo Lin Yu had put down.
He came over to take a closer look and said, ”How does this thing do those things you speak of?”
”Mother, you'll know when the time comes. This is very simple, not difficult at all. You'll understand once you see it.” Mo Xiao Yan said mischievously.
Lee's said, ”Girl, if only mother was that smart.”
”Xiao Yan, how do you know how to do all these?” Mo Lin Yu asked curiously.
”Big Brother, this is what I do every day. I've dreamed of it before, and I just wanted to see if I could earn some money.” Mo Xiao Yan spoke nonsense.
Hearing Mo Xiao Yan's words, Mo Lin Yu did not ask anymore, but he thought that this girl had a lot of clever ideas.
Lee's thought that Mo Xiao Yan was the one who earned the money from his family. He would spend it however he wanted, but it would also be a chance to earn money, so maybe it would also be a good idea.
”Are you all hungry? Mother will go cook. ” The Lee's said.
”Alright mother, let me give you a hand.” Mo Xiao Yan was in a good mood today.
Mo Lin Yu was also free right now, so he went to light a fire. The three of them worked together and very quickly, they finished cooking.
When Mo Xiao Xia was still not back yet, the Lee's said: ”Let's eat first, we'll leave some food for Xiao Xia to warm up in the pot later.”
”Sure, fine. I'll go get the rice.” Mo Xiao Yan said.
Recently, Mo Xiao Yan suddenly became so diligent and sensible, even Lee's was not used to it.
