The waiter led Shen Qiushui to the warehouse, and quickly weighed out the grain Shen Qiushui wanted to buy, packed it in sacks, and moved it to the back door of the rice and grain shop.

There were several bulging sacks filled with grain stacked at the back door, and many workers were moving the sacks onto wooden carts.

The waiter directed people to move the food Shen Qiushui bought to the back door.

Seeing that it was inconvenient for Shen Qiushui to carry the child alone, he kindly asked:

"Sir, our store has a fleet of trucks specially designed to transport food. Do you need it?"

There were several bags of things she bought piled in front of Shen Qiushui. She couldn't move them away by herself. Even if Mo Changtian was here, she couldn't move them all in one trip.

Although Shen Qiushui was moved by the waiter's suggestion, he was a little hesitant.

After paying for the food, she only had a small change left, which might not be enough to pay the fare.

"How much does it cost to run your fleet?" she asked.

"It costs fifty coins to make the trip alone. If you come along, the price can be reduced by more than half. Sir, you don't have much, so you can wait and see if anyone comes along. Which village do you live in? I'll help you. Ask."

The waiter in the shop had a very good attitude and did not discriminate against Shen Qiushui because she was poorly dressed.

Shen Qiushui reported her address, and the waiter asked her to wait where she was while he went to see if he could find a convoy on the way.

Shen Qiushui, who was holding the two children, nodded. After the waiter left, he took the two children and walked a few steps outside the door to make room for the porter.

Workers carrying goods came and went in the aisle at the door. The temperature in this season was obviously the most comfortable, but all of these workers were sweating profusely.

Carrying more than a hundred kilograms of grain from the warehouse to the wooden cart outside the door, back and forth, my face was red from exhaustion, and I earned hard-earned money. Such a job is not easy to find.

The price offered by the rice and grain shop is much higher than that of unloading goods at the dock. If you want to work as a porter in a rice and grain shop, you need to have some connections.

"Mom, when will daddy come back?" Mo Yu, who was a little bored waiting, asked her mother to talk.

Shen Qiushui pinched Mo Yu's cheek, which felt soft. She had eaten well at Granny Luo's house these days, and Mo Yu's face had grown some flesh, so it felt better when pinched.

Mo Yu pouted deliberately, making both cheeks bulge.

Shen Qiushui let go of Mo Yu's little face and replied, "Mother doesn't know when your father will come back."

Mo Changtian left in a hurry. She didn't even know what he was going to do. She only knew that Mo Changtian asked her to wait at the food store.

Mo Yu was not disappointed when she couldn't get the answer, but instead pulled Mo Dong to play a slap game.

Mo Dong was a little unhappy.

He stopped liking such childish games when he became wiser.

However, every time Mo Yu stared at Mo Dong with her big watery eyes, Mo Dong couldn't bear to be cruel, surrendered, and compromised directly.

Mo Dong reached out his hand extremely reluctantly.

"Hehe." Mo Yu giggled, and immediately high-fived Mo Dong, muttering: "If you pat one and I pat one, a child will have meat to eat..."

The soft voice of a child sounded at the back door.

Shen Qiushui stood against the wall, quietly watching the two children playing.

She didn't know how long she had been watching, and she couldn't count how many times she had read the children's song from Mo Yu's mouth.

The waiter who had previously received Shen Qiu Shui walked out of the back door and looked around for a moment before he saw Shen Qiu Shui and the others who had already stepped aside.

"Sir, you are very lucky. There happens to be a transport convoy passing through Qinghe Town. You can take a ride. I have already made an agreement with the driver. Just give me fifteen cents."

This price was within Shen Qiushui's acceptable range. Fifteen Wen seemed expensive, but it was not.

After all, it takes a long time to walk from the county seat to Huaishu Village. They can also hitchhike back with the goods, saving time and effort. The fifteen cents spent is not a loss.

"When will the convoy leave?" Shen Qiushui asked.

"It's not time to leave."

Shen Qiushui thought: One o'clock in the afternoon should be enough time to wait for Mo Changtian to come.

She nodded, took out her purse, and counted fifteen coins to the waiter.

After the waiter collected the money, he immediately asked people to move Shen Qiushui's bags of food to a convoy not far ahead.

Most of the convoy is wooden carts pulled by donkeys, with a few oxen mixed in among the donkeys. If you look closely, you will find that the wooden carts of the convoy are uniformly carved with bird-like carvings.

The porter loaded Shen Qiushui's goods onto a wooden cart pulled by a donkey, and the waiter led Shen Qiushui to recognize the people in the convoy.

The leader of the convoy looked at Shen Qiu Shui and said, "You can wander around and come back before the end of the day. There will be people watching here and nothing will be lost."

Although she nodded, she did not leave, but stood beside him.

These things are the family's future rations, and Shen Qiushui doesn't dare to be careless.

The two children squatted in front of her and played with the weeds growing in the corner.

Not long after, Mo Changtian found the back door of the rice and grain shop.

When he entered the rice and grain shop, he didn't see Shen Qiu Shui or the other three, so he asked the waiter to ask. Fortunately, he asked the waiter who received Shen Qiu Shui.

"Daddy!" Mo Yu saw her father appear and immediately rushed towards Mo Changtian with a grin.

A pair of small hands were raised high.

Mo Changtian took Mo Yu into his arms, hooked the tip of Mo Yu's nose, and walked towards Shen Qiushui.

After approaching and standing still, he asked Shen Qiushui what he bought.

Shen Qiushui told Mo Changtian about the food he bought and the fleet.

She raised her eyes and looked at Mo Changtian, "What were you doing just now? Why were you there for so long?"

"..." Mo Changtian met Shen Qiushui's eyes, his eyes flickered slightly, and he subconsciously concealed the matter about Mu Zhuzi, "I just met an acquaintance, so I caught up with him and said a few words."

Mo Changtian made up a lame excuse.

In the past, Mo Changtian would not have kept anything about his life experience from Shen Qiushui, but now he guessed that his life experience was related to the previous dynasty, but he did not dare to speak easily.

The imperial court hates the remnants of the previous dynasty extremely, and will deal with them immediately once discovered.

He can bear this risk alone.

Hearing this answer, Shen Qiushui had no doubts, nodded and murmured: "That's it..."

"Do you want to go shopping?" Mo Changtian asked.

Shen Qiushui naturally thought that it would be boring to stay here all the time.

"But what to do with the food?" Shen Qiushui scanned the people in the convoy, took a step forward, leaned into Mo Changtian's ear, and whispered his doubts.

After all, it is food for a large family, so we have to be careful.

Mo Changtian looked at the cute little woman in front of him who was worried that she would starve if she lost the food, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

"The fleet of this rice and grain store has a pretty good reputation. The grain they transport has never been lost," he explained.
