The interaction between Old Yang and the children gradually made the atmosphere in the carriage less awkward and tense than before.

The two lovely children were born to be the adults' happy pills. All kinds of whimsical words and phrases came out of their mouths, making the adults laugh from time to time. Even Tan, who had been angry with Liu before, was gradually relieved by the two children. Although she still didn't say much, the corners of her mouth would rise from time to time, but she was afraid that others would see her laugh, so she quickly tried to press the corners of her mouth down.

By the time the carriage was approaching the town, the two little ones were full of peanuts and tired of talking. Tuantuan fell asleep on Shaoyao, while Yuanyuan dozed off directly on Old Yang's lap.

Old Yang held Yuanyuan in his arms and looked at the chubby child in his arms, feeling a sense of accomplishment.

Mrs. Tan, who was standing by, picked up a small blanket and covered Yuanyuan with it, with a hint of kindness in her eyes.

This scene was noticed by Yang Ruoqing, who was resting with her eyes closed in the same carriage. Yang Ruoqing smiled secretly, thinking that this old lady had been strong-willed all her life, especially when it came to her mouth, she would never give in, whether she was right or wrong. However, underneath this old lady's body covered with hedgehog thorns, she had a soft heart.

As various shouts and voices and the sound of wheels rolling gradually came from outside the carriage, Tan lifted a corner of the curtain and glanced outside.

"We're in town."

Old Yang also looked outside through the hole created by Tan, but before he could see what was inside, the curtain was lowered again by the old lady.

"Why are you so impatient, old woman? I haven't even figured out where it is."

"What are you looking at? Isn't it enough for me to look at you?" Tan said unhappily. She glanced at the two children who were still sleeping. "The two children haven't woken up yet. The cool wind is coming in through the car window. What should I do?"

As soon as Mrs. Tan said this, Old Yang immediately lost his temper.

He glanced at the two sleeping children and chuckled, "These two little ones can fall asleep even in a carriage."

"What's more, it's just the two of them. Fatty is asleep too!" Tan said again.

At this time, Yang Ruoqing opened her eyes, stretched and looked at Tan: "Grandma, you are so noisy."

Tan's face immediately turned green, and she subconsciously wanted to open the car curtains to let the cold air in to sober up Yang Ruoqing.

But he finally held back his outstretched hand because Tuantuan was whimpering and was about to wake up.

Tan turned her face away, not looking at Yang Ruoqing, nor talking to her.

Old Yang gave Yang Ruoqing a look that said 'it has to be you'.

Yang Ruoqing felt that the old couple were sometimes like two old children. When they were together, they would be nice to each other, as if they had not gotten along enough in this life and agreed to live together in the next life.

But after a while, the two had a quarrel and they wanted to strangle each other to death right now and never bother each other in the next life.

When things are going well, we unite to face the outside world, and everyone else becomes an outsider.

When the two of them were having a quarrel, and old Yang couldn't win the argument with Tan, if a powerful external aid like Yang Ruoqing jumped out at this time, the old man would be very happy and gloat over the misfortune.

"Qing'er, I heard the noise outside. We should have reached the town center, right?" Old Yang asked Yang Ruoqing again.

The old lady sat near the window on the left, blocking the window to prevent Old Yang from seeing outside.

Yang Ruoqing sat by the window on the right, and the old man sat in the middle, holding Yuanyuan in his arms. The poor old man wanted to find out what was happening outside, so he could only ask Yang Ruoqing. Yang Ruoqing took out her coat to put on the children who were about to wake up to keep them warm, and at the same time quickly lifted the curtain and glanced out the window, and told Old Yang: "We are almost at the town entrance, but we haven't entered the town yet!"

"Why is the entrance of the town so lively? When did our Qingshui Town become so crowded?" Old Yang was a little surprised.

Tan was also a little puzzled. Seeing that the two children had woken up and were getting dressed, she secretly lifted the curtains a little and looked out at the two sides of the official road. Indeed, there were people coming in and out.

Some were pushing carts, some were carrying loads, some were driving ox carts, and some were simply carrying backpacks taller than themselves...

"He really is a businessman coming to market..." said Tan.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Originally, the first and fifteenth day of every month in the town were the big market days. Now, on the first day of the first lunar month, everyone is busy paying New Year's greetings, and on the fifteenth day, everyone is at home celebrating the Lantern Festival. So today, on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, it is a double date, and the sun has come out, so the villagers from the mountains and outside the mountains are busy coming to the town to attend the big market!"

When Old Yang and Mrs. Tan heard this, they suddenly understood.

Old Yang said, "No wonder there are so many people! There must be a lot of rare goods!"

When Tan heard this, she was moved and said to Old Yang, "Go slower and see if there are any rare things Mei'er might need, and bring some back to her."

Old Yang said to Tan, "You have to tell Qing'er this. The carriage belongs to the Luo family, and there are many people on the road. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient if we rashly stop the carriage in the middle of the road to buy things."

Tan then looked at Yang Ruoqing, "Fatty..."

Yang Ruoqing turned around and said to Xingwang who was driving the car in front, "Drive the car directly to the backyard of Tianxiang Tower and store it there."

"Yes, ma'am!"

Yang Ruoqing turned to Tan and said, "We will walk from Tianxianglou to my aunt's place. It's not far and we can pass through the main street in the center of the town. People who go to the market basically set up stalls on both sides of the street. We can walk there and you can buy things along the way."

At this point, Yang Ruoqing glanced at Tan's bound feet again and said, "I just don't know if your legs can support it."

Tan was not used to Yang Ruoqing staring at her feet like this, so she quickly shoved her feet under the stool and said, "Although I have bound feet, I can climb mountains and cross rivers, so you don't have to worry!"

The carriage entered the town's south gate and passed by Baimeizhai.

Old Yang wanted to lift the curtain to take a glimpse, but Tan held his hands down.

"What are you looking at? Don't look!"

Facing Tan's vicious tone, Old Yang was puzzled. "I went to see how the business of Dabai's shop was going. From the noise, it seemed that there were quite a few people buying buns and steamed buns..."

Tan then shouted at Old Yang: "Whether his shop is doing well or not has nothing to do with us. He made a lot of money but he won't give you a cent!"

"What are you saying? I'm his grandfather, so what if I take a look at my grandson's shop?"

"I said you are not allowed to look at it, so you are not allowed to look at it!" Tan's domineering attitude came up again, "That unfilial guy doesn't even recognize Mei'er as his mother, so why should we recognize him?"

"We have to stick to our daughter. The grandson belongs to the Wang family and has nothing to do with us!" (End of this chapter)
