Chapter 28: Going Out
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Gu Xin went back to her room and changed into a new set of clothes. She had several sets of clothes that Gu Nian couldn’t wear anymore. She was also thin and small, while Gu Nian had grown normally.
After changing her clothes, she combed her hair again.
Ever since she had started growing her hair, she had always learned how to comb her own hair. Anyway, she wasn’t very good at it.
Gu Xin came out of her room. Gu Nian, who had already tidied up, instantly saw the two bags on her head that were crooked. She couldn’t stand it anymore and said, “Xin Xin, come, I’ll comb your hair!”
Gu Nian knew how to comb her hair. She was very good with her hands. She had grown up with her brother when she was young, and he didn’t know how to comb her hair either. She had learned it all by herself.
Gu Xin’s eyes lit up when she heard this. She ran over and stood obediently in front of Gu Nian.

She first untied the two crooked bags on Gu Xin’s head and then combed her hair.
Gu Nian sighed in her heart as she combed her hair. The original owner’s black hair was so nice. Why did the original owner’s sister’s hair look like this?
This wasn’t called two bags, it was called two tugs!
Gu Xin saw Gu Nian take out her hair rope and said in surprise, “Sister, this is your favorite hair rope!”
Gu Nian’s hand paused and then said nonchalantly, “I don’t like it anymore. I’ll give it to you. I’m a big girl now. I don’t like this style anymore.”
Gu Xin expressed her understanding. Her sister was indeed like this. She would give her anything she didn’t like.
However, she really liked this headband. She thanked her cheerfully. “Thank you, Sister!”
Gu Nian heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that she couldn’t be too straightforward when treating this little girl. She had to find a reason.
At this moment, Cai Xiaolian changed into a clean set of clothes and came over to call the sisters. “Nian Nian, Xin Xin, are you done packing?”
“Right away!” Gu Nian quickly tied Gu Xin’s hair and led her out.
Cai Xiaolian’s clothes were all dusty and she didn’t wear much. She despised them very much, but there was nothing she could do at the moment.
She tied up all her hair at the back of her neck and combed the front of her hair. She looked much better.
The mother and daughter trio locked the door and set off.
After working for so long, it was only two hours.
The name of San Cha Kou Village was related to the terrain. There were three passageways at the entrance of their village. To the north was the Zhou family town, to the southwest was the Taoyuan County, to the east was the official road, and directly to the Yuzhou government. There was only a courier station in the middle.

The people of San Cha Kou Village usually rushed to the Zhou family town. It was only an hour’s walk. If they wanted to go to Taoyuan County, they would have to take the village’s ox-cart.
Cai Xiaolian did not want to go that far for the time being. She just wanted to go to the town to take a look.
The original owner’s memory had the impression of the Zhou family town. It was quite big. It was said that most of the shops in the Zhou family town were owned by wealthy merchants surnamed Zhou. Master Zhou had an only daughter and even married a high-ranking official in the capital city. However, the Zhou family’s children were weak and there were fewer relatives around.
Master Zhou had developed the Zhou family town by himself. There was also a dock in the town, and there were more boat merchants coming and going from the dock.
Generally speaking, the Zhou family town was not the kind of rural town that Cai Xiaolian thought it was. Therefore, she was more willing to visit the town than take an ox-cart to the county.
As long as she could buy the things she wanted to buy, that would be enough.
Along the way, she met many villagers who went out for a stroll. Cai Xiaolian greeted them one by one.
Gu Nian did not speak. She maintained an aloof persona, but she remembered people in her mind.
