Chapter 208 Selling Brother 3
Chapter 208 Selling Brother 3
This shows how terrible habits are. Many people are bound by habits throughout their lives.
Xiao Cao'er: Oh, what a sin. I've read a lot of books in the past two years, and my reserve of poetry has been greatly improved. The literary level of my previous life is simply incomparable to that of now. If I also write a collection of poetry, will anyone read it?
The Prison of Habit
Habit is a terrible behavior.
Like an invisible rope that ties the soul tightly.
Day after day, repeating the same path,
Thinking gradually becomes rigid and dreams lose their wings.
Sinking in the vortex of habit,
I forgot that there were stars in the sky outside.
Mechanical movements, numb mind,
The color of life becomes dim and unclear.
Habits make us afraid of change.
Be content with the status quo and don't dare to cross the line.
How many wonderful possibilities have been missed?
In the comfort zone, I gradually lose myself.
Break the shackles of habit, escape the cage,
Be brave to pursue the unknown scenery.
Let life bloom again with brilliant light,
No longer blinded by the shadow of habit.
Xiao Cao finished writing this poem silently in his heart. He had an unformed idea in his mind, but he couldn't say it now. He had to plan it carefully.
Knowing that Qiangzi and the others all wanted to go to the capital for a tour, Xiaocaoer was silent for a long time.
"You can go if you want to. If it's not convenient to follow Mr. Zheng and his team, then go with the escort company, or see if the express delivery team has any missions to the capital, and go with them. I will give them some money and help them on the way. I believe they will agree."
"It doesn't matter who we go with, but there are so many of us, and the travel will cost a lot of money. You know us, our families may not give us much support." Xiaoxing said truthfully.
"Don't worry too much about the expenses. As long as you are not extravagant, I think I can still afford it. But if you spend money like water, then there will be nothing I can do. I will have to sell you and see if I can raise enough money for your return trip."
When everyone heard Xiaocao'er say that, they all felt relieved. Over the years, they would sometimes follow Sanmao to go around the area, and every time they came back, Sanmao would give them some wages. At first, they didn't want it, but Sanmao said that it would be difficult to take them out again if they didn't get paid, so they had no choice but to accept it. Later, when they followed him out again, they would do whatever they saw.
Now they were going to the capital, and they wanted to go with him. No one would say anything if Sanmao was not responsible for their expenses. However, he really did not have that much money to support this trip, so he had to tell Xiaocao'er the truth directly. There was nothing to hide. Xiaocao'er and Sanmao also knew their actual situation and could guess it.
"That's a bit too much. There are so many of us, and the travel expenses alone will be quite a lot," Xiaoxing said.
When everyone heard what he said, they relaxed at once and burst into laughter.
"Then let me go back and think about what I can do in the capital. I don't want to make a wasted trip. I'll discuss the feasibility with my third brother then. We still have a few days, and since my eldest brother and his friends are going back to the capital first, my third brother might stay for two more days."
"Si Mao said that he would start making arrangements for going to the capital city as soon as he returned to the provincial capital. Brother San Mao didn't go back to the provincial capital city with Brother Damao, so didn't they go to the capital city together?" Qiangzi asked.
"We are going to the capital together, but I heard him say that he might stay at home for two more days, depending on the specific situation." Xiao Caoer said and walked out. "Okay, everyone go back."
Xiao Caoer didn't find any flowers on the mountain, so he picked up a basket of firewood and carried it home. When he got home, it was already time for lunch.
When Simao saw Xiaocaoer coming into the courtyard, he ran over to help her take the basket on her back and asked in a low voice, "Sister, why did you take so long? Are there any flowers on the mountain now?"
"Yes, there were some, but they were not suitable, so I didn't pick them. I couldn't go there for nothing, so I just picked up a basket of firewood."
"You should have asked me to go with you to collect firewood. I have nothing to do at home anyway. Why did you go alone?" Simao muttered in dissatisfaction.
"I wanted to ask you to go with me, but have you forgotten what you said to me when I went out?" Xiao Cao'er said as she went back to the main room to drink water.
"What did I say when you left?" Simao asked puzzledly.
"You said you didn't dare to see Brother Qiangzi and the others, so you asked me to tell them that Third Brother went to the county town. I still went out through the back door carrying a backpack. You see, I was carrying a backpack and you didn't even know to help me. Now you blame me for not calling you? Humph." Xiaocao'er answered him after finishing drinking the water.
Simao: It seems like that happened, but did you call me? I don’t remember it. “Then from now on, sister, wherever you go, just call me and I’ll help you.”
"Thank you in advance, little brother." Xiao Cao'er said with a big smile, "But little brother, you will be going to the capital in a few days. If I want to go up the mountain, how can I call you? Should I write you a letter? And then you will fly back immediately after receiving the letter to accompany me to the mountain? How long will it take?"
Simao thought that he would be going to the capital in a few days, and he really couldn't accompany his sister, but when he heard his sister say that she would write a letter to him and then fly back, he was stunned. He hadn't learned Qinggong yet, and he couldn't fly from the capital to Qingshan Village.
"Sister, I haven't learned Qinggong yet. I can't even fly to the roof. How can I fly back from the capital? The fastest I can do is ride a horse. Even if I ride as fast as I can, it will take several days to get back. Otherwise, I will accompany you to the mountain a few more times in the next two days?"
Xiao Cao glanced at him and said, "Then you should study hard. Forget about going up the mountain. You should hurry up and pack your things. Take important things like books with you. Daily necessities don't matter. You can buy them when you get to the capital."
"Okay, I see. I have almost packed everything. Many of my books are in Mr. Fucheng's house, so I don't have many at home. Unlike my eldest brother, he has a lot of things."
"What do you mean not like me? What bad things did you say about me in front of my sister again?" Da Mao had been packing up all morning. When he came out of the room, he heard his younger brother saying bad things about him to his sister.
"No, no, brother, I didn't say anything bad about you. I just said you have a lot of stuff and it takes time to pack it up." Simao explained.
"Do I have a lot of things? I don't think so. They are just some books and daily necessities." Damao thought about the things he had packed and said.
