Chapter 54 - Going Out

“Huai County?” After eating her fill, Yue Jiaojiao lazily leaned against the cave and admired the scenery. “There should be more fun things in the county than in Wangshan Town, right?” She asked in a soft voice. “Let’s go take a look tomorrow.”

Because she had to go, Zhao Zhan waited for her to fall asleep before knocking on Li Zheng’s door in the middle of the night. He gave a copper coin and asked Li Zheng’s ox cart to send them to town the next day.

The next day, before dawn.

In a daze, Yue Jiaojiao felt someone holding her in their arms. When she realized it was Zhao Zhan, she let down her guard and fell asleep again.

When he saw Zhao Zhan carrying Yue Jiaojiao onto the cart, Lizheng was dumbfounded. “Zhao Zhan, you… ”

Zhao Zhan shook his head lightly and said in a low voice, “It’ll be a long journey. I want to let her sleep a little longer. Let’s go.”

What else could Yang Lizheng say? He didn’t even dare to rush the bull, afraid that he would make too much noise and wake Yue Jiaojiao who was sleeping soundly.

He had seen people who doted on their wives, but he had never seen someone who doted on their wives so much!

However, no matter what, this was the young couple’s business. In any case, Zhao Zhan was willing to dote on her so much, so what right did he have to be a busybody?

When the ox cart wobbled all the way to Wangshan Town, the sky had already turned bright.

Although Zhao Zhan had been using his handkerchief to carefully block the sunlight for her, Yue Jiaojiao still frowned when she sensed the light. She was about to speak when she sensed that something was wrong with the environment.

“You’re awake?”

Zhao Zhan moved the handkerchief away and lowered his head slightly. He used his hand to block the light from her eyes, afraid that it would hurt her eyes. “Do you want to sleep a little longer? ”

“I’m awake now.”

Yue Jiaojiao shook her head.

Sensing her movement, Zhao Zhan helped her up and leaned her against his body. He picked up the water bag from the basket and handed it to her. “Rinse your mouth and make do with it. You can brush your teeth after we change carriages. I brought a toothbrush and salt.”

This person was really meticulous to the point of considering everything.

The toothbrush that Yue Jiaojiao was using was made by Zhao Zhan after she described it to him. Afraid that she would be disgusted, Zhao Zhan changed from using willow branches and salt water to using a toothbrush and salt.

“You’re awake?” Lizheng had just parked the ox cart and was smiling at the two of them. “Aren’t you going to the county? Go quickly, it takes an hour and a half to get there by carriage from Wangshan Town.”

“Jiaojiao, wait for me here.”

Zhao Zhan made her sit down obediently and ran to a small stall to buy some food before running back. “I’ve troubled you to make a special trip here. Have some buns as thanks as well.”

“You don’t have to be so polite with me. You’ve already given me copper coins, so why did you run for nothing?”

Yang Lizheng couldn’t decline, so he took three meat buns.

These two children were honest and kind. If anyone in the village made up stories again in the future, he would definitely stand up and teach those who loved to gossip a lesson.

Zhao Zhan did not know that a few meat buns had made Lizheng think so much. He was carefully holding a wonton and feeding his wife. There was a smile in his voice as he said, “Didn’t you say that you wanted to eat small wonton that was just out of the pot a few days ago? Why don’t you try this restaurant’s food?”

He was afraid that the bowl would not be clean if it was placed on the ox cart, and he was also worried that she would burn her hands if she carried it herself.

Zhao Zhan’s hands were very steady, and the bowl in his hands did not even shake the entire time. Yue Jiaojiao had just woken up and was not particularly hungry, so she frowned as she ate more than half of the food.

“You’re full?” Zhao Zhan handed over a handkerchief that was still warm. “Wipe your hands.”
