The cake was wrapped in oil paper and placed in a basin to be carried in a backpack.
The oil paper was borrowed by Gu Shouxin when he went to the old house yesterday to borrow the ox. The old house happened to have oil paper.
The whole family went to the old house to inform him and then got into the ox-cart. Gu Shouxin drove the cart away.
"Shouxin, are you going to visit your relatives? Why are you the only one going?"
"I'm not going to visit my relatives. I'm going to the town to buy some things."
"Second Brother Gu, I heard that you owe money again. I say, kid, you're already so old. Don't go and mess around anymore. You'll bring trouble to your wife and children."
"Yeah, I know!"
"Second Brother Gu, I want to go to the town! Can you give me a ride?"
"One wen. Come on up!"
