Xiaoxiao began to complain, "Honey, this ox cart is so slow. At this rate, when will we ever reach dicine King Valley? We’re wasting all our ti on the road."
This ti, they had indeed miscalculated, only thinking about the problem that their child had no milk to drink, but forgetting that dairy cows are such slow creatures.
"Wife, after we get to Lin County, let’s buy a little milking goat," Yang Ming suggested upon hearing his wife’s complaints, "We’ll leave the dairy cow in Lin County and switch to a horse carriage."
"..." A milking goat? Is that feasible? But anyway, it’s probably faster than a dairy cow, but, "Husband, can the goat keep up with the speed of the horse carriage?"
"In Lin County, let’s find soone to modify this carriage, lengthen the back and load up the milking goat."
Upon hearing this suggestion, Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up. He was so smart—her 21st-century brain hadn’t thought of that at all. She knew nothing about these cows and horses, "Husband, let’s do as you said, we’ll buy a milking goat in Lin County. How are you so smart, what’s your brain made of..."
Xiaoxiao showered Yang Ming with praises. Yang Ming smiled, having only thought of this idea while driving the cart because he couldn’t stand the ox cart’s speed anymore.
The ox cart was indeed very slow; a journey that would take a horse carriage a single day took them three days, with stops along the way.
Moreover, with no villages on the road, they had to spend two nights in the cart.
Filled with regret for making his wife spend the nights in the wilderness, Yang Ming blad himself for his oversight.
Finally, on the afternoon of the third day, they reached Joy Grand Theater in Lin County.
It was just the ti for the afternoon show, and Xiaoxiao got off the cart to see the crowd lined up to enter, well-organized.
Looking at the other side, there was a long line for tickets, again very orderly.
Seeing this scene made Xiaoxiao very happy. The Grand Theater had been open for ten days already, and the ticket sales were still booming. This assured her that the business would continue to thrive for a while, which ant her journey wouldn’t be an issue. She felt relieved.
Seeing that the queue now included not only n but won and children too convinced her that the transformation of the Grand Theater was a huge success. People had finally changed their perception of the forr Yixiang Courtyard.
The ticket seller saw Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming and imdiately shouted, "Boss lady, boss!"
Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming approached with their child. Xiaoxiao asked, "How are the ticket sales going?"
"Boss lady, tickets for next month are already sold out," the ticket seller said with excitent and pride.
Hearing this, Xiaoxiao was extrely surprised. She had not expected the business to be this booming. If that was the case, her being away for a while posed even less of an issue, "Then you keep selling tickets, we’re going inside."
"Okay, boss, boss lady, take your ti," the ticket seller continued selling tickets.
Yang Ming and Xiaoxiao, holding their child, entered the Grand Theater. Upon entering, they were spotted by Manager Tian, "Boss lady, boss, you’re back."
"Yes, have soone heat up so water; we need to clean up first, we’ll talk later," Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming had been on the road for three days without a proper chance to wash up, and with a child, they definitely needed to tidy up.
"Alright, I’ll take care of it right away."
