Chapter 48: Looking for Uncle Li to be the driver

Yi Mingxue didn't bother with Carpenter Wang and just put the money into his hand.

"Just for these two ingenuities of yours, I've spent the money well."

Carpenter Wang knew that she was comforting himself, and he became more determined to make the carriage ready for her.

"Da Ya... thank you..." Carpenter Wang accepted the balance with tears in his eyes.

He also watched Yi Yutang try to sit and walk with his own eyes, and after finding no problems, he said goodbye and left.

Yi Yutang was very happy, and the corners of his curled lips never dropped.

The other radish dices were also very excited and immediately pushed Yi Yutang to go for a walk.

Yi Mingxue is not a true ancient and would never restrain their childlike nature.

He only asked a few words to pay attention to safety and then let them go.

Just when Carpenter Wang left, the two of them finalized the time.

The carriage can be ready in about half a month.

Then in the next half month, she has to find a way to buy Dongdong a little companion.

When the time comes, one will solicit customers and the other will solicit goods. A two-pronged approach will quickly open up the situation.

Next, she still needed a driver to drive the carriage.

Thinking of this, Yi Mingxue simply closed the door and went to Aunt Li's house next door.

As soon as I walked to the door, I heard scattered quarrels coming from inside.

Aunt Li's voice was a little excited as she said, "... If you ask me to go find Daya at this time, wouldn't that be like those villains in the village who are unjust for profit?"

"Then how can it be the same? Those people want to freeload, we just want to learn technology, and then open up wasteland and plant our own crops!" Uncle Li obviously disapproved of his wife's idea.

"But...why did Da Ya have to tell us? She and I have gotten closer recently, but to put it bluntly, she doesn't owe us anything."

"Oh, you are so stupid. Isn't it just because we have a good relationship that we can talk easily?" Uncle Li was so anxious that he was usually a very shrewd woman, but why couldn't he turn around today?

Aunt Li didn't understand what he meant, but she just didn't want to take advantage of others based on a superficial affection.

"I won't go! I can't open this door. If you want to go, you can do it yourself!"

"you……"

Immediately afterwards, there was a moment of silence.

Apparently the two people in the room got into a temper over this matter.

Yi Mingxue waited for a while, and after seeing that the two of them did not discuss the topic again, she knocked on the Li family's door.

"Second Aunt, are you at home?"

The door to the house was quickly opened from the inside.

Aunt Li looked at Yi Mingxue with a somewhat embarrassed expression and asked, "Here you are! Daya, why are you here?"

"Come into the room and talk?" Yi Mingxue pretended not to hear anything and said with a smile.

Aunt Li quickly let her into the house.

Although the kang was not heated, the room was much warmer than outside.

Uncle Li was sitting aside smoking a dry cigarette, while the two children were playing on the kang.

Seeing Yi Mingxue coming in, she quickly stood up and made way for her.

"Da Ya, come on! Come in and sit down."

Yi Mingxue was not polite and sat down at the table.

She went straight to the point, "Second uncle, I heard from our second aunt that you have driven an ox cart before, right?"

Uncle Li didn't know why, so he nodded and replied, "Yes, I helped my relatives run around for a while a few years ago. What happened?"

Yi Mingxue felt happy, and the corners of her lips naturally curved.

"But do you still remember how to use it?"

"That's natural! As long as I learn this thing, I won't forget it. It's just that I haven't done it for a long time, so I may be a little sloppy. I think it will take a few hours to get used to it, and then there will be no problem." Speaking of this, Uncle Li's eyes said

There was also a look of fascination.

Those early days of driving trucks and delivering goods were really the proudest moments in his life.

Firstly, he travels all over the country and sees a lot; secondly, with more wages, the life of the mother-in-law and children at home becomes easier.

The most important thing is that he really likes driving.

Unfortunately, successive years of drought later made it difficult for everyone to do business.

The business of my relative's family also collapsed, and I also lost my job.

I returned to the village and farmed for several years, but I never thought that the more I farmed, the poorer I would become, and the more I farmed, the more I would starve.

When he thought of his two sons who were howling with hunger in the middle of the night, he simply showed off his old face and said to Yi Mingxue.

"Da Ya, you came just in time. Uncle has something to tell you..."

Yi Mingxue did not let go of the expression on Uncle Li's face.

Naturally, I could see his expression when talking about the life of driving a cart, and his embarrassment when he couldn't grow a good harvest.

Just as he was about to speak, he interrupted:

"I know it's shameless to say this, but I really have no choice."

"Can you tell me and your aunt about your melon skills? We want to grow some too, otherwise this winter will be really difficult."

He stated the request in one breath.

After all, if his mother-in-law can't speak, then so can he himself.

But for the sake of this family, even if he would be ridiculed by Yi Mingxue, a junior, he still had to give it a try with his old face.

Unexpectedly, the expected rejection and ridicule did not appear.

Instead, Yi Mingxue let out a chuckle.

"Uncle, don't be impatient."

"That kind of skill doesn't matter. I came here today to find you a better job."

Uncle Li and Aunt Li looked at her in surprise.

Yi Mingxue didn't show off any more.

He directly told the old couple that he would be delivering goods for Boss Mei in ten days and that he would start a truck business.

"And not only to pull goods, I also asked Carpenter Wang to get a carriage, and then I will also go to Qiyang Town to run business of delivering people."

Uncle Li was stunned when he heard this.

Second Aunt Li slapped her thigh and suddenly realized, "I'm just telling you, why are you buying a horse?"

"It turns out you had a plan. You girl are really capable."

Yi Mingxue smiled, "It's a pity that my driving skills are not as good as our second uncle's, so I'm not here to discuss with you to see if I can hire my second uncle to drive the car for me!"

This is a huge happy event.

There is no reason for the Li family not to agree.

Uncle Li was so excited that he stopped smoking cigarettes and stood up directly and said cheerfully.

"You said the carts and horses are in your yard? Come on! Show me."

As he said that, he walked towards the door first.

Aunt Li also followed closely behind.

Yi Mingxue wanted to laugh a little. As she followed, she shouted from behind, "Second uncle, we haven't discussed the wages yet!"

Unexpectedly, Uncle Li, who had already walked into the yard, said loudly without looking back.

"It doesn't matter, I'm willing to do this job no matter how much you pay."

Yi Mingxue: "..."

It seems that since ancient times, men have not been able to resist cars.

The three of them came to the Yi family's yard.

Uncle Li first walked around the newly painted cart.

Knocked in the east, looked in the west, and reinforced the position of the mortise and tenon.

Then he came to Dongdong's temporary stable, touched the horse's head, and praised him happily.

"This horse is great! It runs fast!"

When he thought that he could live a life of driving cars again, Uncle Li was as happy as Yi Tianlei who just got a wheelchair today.

Without any hesitation, he turned his head and nodded to Yi Mingxue behind him.

Seriously and solemnly.

"I can definitely do this job well, boss!"
