New Life of Broken Cedar - C119
“…”
Mu Fan muttered these words himself. The volume of his words was extremely low, so much so that even Gu Moyan wasn’t able to hear them clearly.
He earnestly advised, “In the future, after you finish reading, do you have any topic to discuss with the people you like?”
“Big brother Mo Yan and I can really chat.”
“I like it. We have to get along day and night.” Gu Moyan put down the things in her hands and looked up into the sky, as if she was trying to remember something.
Mu Fan looked at him, seeming to understand what he meant. He didn’t speak any further and continued to ponder.
After a long while, Gu Moyan turned to look at Mu Fan and asked, “Do you know if there’s any place that can melt iron?” He had just thought that since those items were no longer of use to him, why not take them and melt them together with him? After making some other things, he could even exchange them for silver taels.
Mu Fan cracked his fingers and raised his head to recall something. “We don’t have any here. We have to go to the city. But it will take a long time to get to the city, unless you get a car to take you there. ” After that, he moved closer to Gu Moyan and said, “Brother Mo Yan is going to the city. Bring me along as well. I want to go as well. I haven’t been there in a long time.”
Gu Moyan stepped back a little as she said to Mu Fan with a smile, “It’s because you don’t want to study, right? If your father knew, wouldn’t he have personally come to find me?”
“Tch!” Mu Fan stuck out his tongue and straightened his body, continuing to peel the beans. His strange appearance made Gu Moyan want to rub him a few times.
Then Gu Moyan began to talk again and threw the beans into the basket, “Uncle Zhang’s son is going to marry Ping’er, I haven’t even prepared a wedding present.”
“Big brother Mo Yan didn’t think of giving anything to you?” Mu Fan’s mind spun as he asked.
“I’ve seen other people getting married. My father and father didn’t bring any expensive gifts when they went to the wedding. It would be great if they had some good intentions. Brother Mo Yan doesn’t need to spend any money.”
Gu Moyan nodded. Seeing the clouds start to change, the clouds dispersed one by one, revealing the blue sky.
When Gu Moyan reached the village entrance, he saw a small winding road in front of him with weeds growing on both sides of it. It seemed that the village had been covered in weeds before.
When he had first looked around, he hadn’t noticed the surrounding scenery. Coming here, he was tired, hungry, and too busy to care. But how was he going to get to the city now? He had thought about it yesterday, and it was still unresolved.
“Little Yan?”
Gu Moyan turned around to look at the package. It was Uncle Zhang riding a donkey cart, waving at him as he walked in.
“But we have to leave this place?” When Old Zhang saw the package in Gu Mo Yan’s hand, his face was filled with doubt.
“No, just …” I want to go into the city and buy something. ”
“Does Little Yan not have any tools to go with?” Old Zhang raised his head and looked at the glaring sky, then looked at Gu Mo Yan’s side and asked.
Gu Moyan nodded, holding the package tightly in her hands.
Elder Zhang jumped down from the donkey cart, pushed Gu Moyan forward and said, “I’m going to bring this donkey cart home anyways. If you don’t have any tools, I’ll lend it to you. You can bring it to my house when you come back.” Then she looked at him with a smile.
“Yes, thank you, Uncle Zhang.” Gu Moyan carefully sat on the donkey cart. The wooden board was made of straw and was slightly stuck at the bottom, but it wasn’t too uncomfortable. She just needed to get used to it a little.
“You’re welcome. Little Yan, remember to come back early. Don’t get lost in the city.” Old Zhang joked behind him.
