Chapter 31 Chicken Bus

Yang Chunyan walked to the door of the room and saw Zhou Huaian sitting on the bed looking at her sleepily, "Yan'er, hurry up and wash up, I have to go to the latrine."

Yang Chunyan put down the porcelain basin, "I'll go with you first and then wash it when I come back."

"Thank you, wife." Zhou Huaian got out of bed with a smile, put on his cloth shoes, took the oil lamp, and wanted to hug Yang Chunyan, but she pinched him and said, "Get out!"

"Don't be like this. We are a couple. If you are scared in the future, I will accompany you!"

Yang Chunyan rolled her eyes at him, "You think everyone looks like you, so you should be afraid even in your own home!"

Zhou Huaian smiled apologetically, "I'm naturally timid, I can't help it, hehe!"

The two went to the latrine together and came back. Yang Chunyan scrubbed and went to bed to rest.

Zhou Huaian looked at Yang Chunyan who was lying at his feet again, feeling itchy in his heart. He couldn't sleep and had nothing to say, "Honey, what time do you get up tomorrow morning to sell herbal medicine in Ning'an?"

Yang Chunyan was so tired that she couldn't even open her eyes. She said softly: "Go as soon as it gets dark." and fell asleep.

Zhou Huaian sat up and looked at Yang Chunyan who was sleeping. He picked up the pillow and lay beside her. Thinking of tomorrow's bet, he touched her cheek and whispered: "Let you go first, and I'll take care of you tomorrow night." !"

"Damn mosquito..." Yang Chunyan slapped him, turned over and muttered a few times, but there was no movement.

Zhou Huaian: "..."

Early the next morning, Yang Chunyan woke up when she heard Zhou's mother's shout outside the window. She quickly turned over and sat up, "Hey~ I'm up."

She rubbed her face and felt how good it was to be young! I used to wake up and stay up until dawn, but now I accidentally oversleep.

Zhou Huaian half-propped his body and looked at her sleepily, "Yan'er, is it dawn?"

Yang Chunyan put on her clothes, "Mom is calling, get up quickly, pack the herbs and put them in the basket, and set off after dinner."

"So tired!" Zhou Huaian rolled over, "I still want to sleep."

"Go to sleep! If you don't want money, just stay home and sleep in."

"Yes, why not!" Zhou Huaian suddenly woke up, turned over and got up.

Yang Chunyan laughed secretly, got out of bed, put on her pants and jacket, took out her cloth shoes, put them on, opened the door and walked out.

When the genius dawned, Zhou's father and the old man had already gotten up. The old man was sitting at the door of the hall smoking leaf cigarettes, and Zhou's father was knitting a basket.

Seeing her come out, Zhou's father said: "I will help you put those herbs in the bamboo basket and put them on the bus. Wait for Huai'an to push them. Your mother has also prepared the meal. Go and eat quickly and leave early. Save yourself from being too late and too hot."

"Okay, I'll just wash my face and go."

Yang Chunyan saw a chicken bus placed in the courtyard dam that she had not seen for a long time, with two large bamboo baskets tied to both sides.

The Chicken Bus probably got its name because its shape resembles a big rooster with its wings spread out: a huge wheel like a rooster's comb, with strong wooden frames on the two wings for stacking goods.
