187 There’s Still Me

As she listened, she was a little angry, but she also felt that it was funny.

A girl at her age still liked to go on a swing…

Then, her daughter and two children ran over and forced her onto the swing.

At first, Liu Shi refused, but after a while, she thought it was fun too.

Liu Shi sat on it briefly and let the three of them play by themselves.

Lin Xiaoyue and the two children played under the big tree for a long time. It was almost 4 o’clock before she went to prepare for the delivery.

Liu Shi also stopped her embroidery work and went to help.

Lin Xiaoyue first went to set up the ox-cart, and then led the ox to the road.

Then, she put the small table, utensils, brown sugar syrup, and a water bucket into the ox-cart.

Liu Shi, along with Li Xiao, brought the two children to help get the cold cakes from the stream.

By the time Lin Xiaoyue finished her work, Liu Shi and the others already brought the 20 buckets of cold cakes.

Li Xiao helped Lin Xiaoyue put them into the ox-cart. It was loaded in a short while.

“There are still 12 buckets of cold cakes left. Mom, bring the two children to the field to try and sell them.”

“By the way, tell the villagers that we won’t sell them in the fields anymore. If everyone wants to buy them, they should bring a bowl to our house to buy them, ” Lin Xiaoyue sat on the ox-cart and reminded Liu Shi.

“Don’t worry, I know what to do!” Liu Shi replied.

She then looked at Li Xiao, who was holding the reins and sitting beside Lin Xiaoyue.

“Xiao’er, keep an eye on her. Come back early.” She instructed.

“Yes, mom,” Li Xiao replied.

Only then did Liu Shi relax.

“Don’t go too fast!” She added.

“Alright! Bye!”

Then, they rode away.

On the way, Lin Xiaoyue told him about the plan to get the Jiang family to help out with chores.

Li Xiao nodded when he learned that he didn’t have to cut anymore grass and collect firewood.

“You don’t have to worry about the chores. Just do whatever you want to do. Lin Xiaoyue smiled and said to Li Xiao.

Li Xiao was touched.

“Okay.”

“In the future, when Qing’er and Xiaozhi start school, things will be easier,” Lin Xiaoyue sighed.

They had been busy with the house for more than a month, and now they were selling cold cakes, so they had almost no free time.

She also wanted to give herself a holiday.

“There’s still me,” Li Xiao suddenly said.

Lin Xiaoyue paused.

“I’ll make some money before winter,” Li Xiao said again, his eyes filled with determination.

Lin Xiaoyue was touched.

Did he think that she wouldn’t have any income if she couldn’t sell cold cakes?

Without explaining, Lin Xiaoyue patted Li Xiao’s shoulder.

“I trust you!”

He was a man after all, so he had to be given the opportunity to prove himself.

The two of them soon arrived at town as they talked.

Li Xiao did not follow Lin Xiaoyue to Ruyi Restaurant. Instead, he got off the ox-cart at the fork in the road to the dock.

Lin Xiaoyue rode the ox-cart alone to Ruyi Restaurant to deliver the cold cakes.

When she arrived, the shop assistant quickly helped to unload the goods.

“Your cold cakes are really popular. Only half a bucket is left from the 10 buckets you sold us. In the end, the manager distributed them to the staff. First come, first served. Those who didn’t get to eat are still complaining,” Chef Liu smiled and wrote a receipt for Lin Xiaoyue.

“Deliver 10 buckets tomorrow morning. I think your cold cakes will be popular for a while.”
