The village adjacent to Maliutun was also called the mountain village at the earliest, and the older generation still has people calling these two villages before and after the village, and the village that went out of the west entrance of the village was Wangjiazhuang.

It is said that it was because a big family surnamed Wang bought a large amount of land and renamed Qiantun Wangjiazhuang, and Houtun in the mountain village was also renamed Maliutun.

However, with the entry and reproduction of the Wang family, this village has already become a veritable large village with the surname Wang.

A carriage in Wangjiazhuang was parked on the only road leading to the commune and the county seat, and it was already crowded with villagers and baskets.

The boss who drove the carriage was also surnamed Wang, and he looked about the same age as Aunt Liang, so the relationship between the two families should be good. Far away, Aunt Liang shouted that the brothers of the Wang family have been waiting for a long time, I'm sorry.

Over there, her old brother of the Wang family raised his voice: Brother and sister of the Liang family, you slow down, what is my old brother, why didn't he go with you?

Not only is the relationship between the two families good, but the aunt and aunt of Wangjiazhuang are also good and sincere. One by one, people came to push the basket or something, and then moved and squeezed it, just to make room for it.

Guan Ping'an was held on her lap by an old lady her grandmother's age, and she listened to them babble before the carriage even had time to start.

The topic ranged from the introduction of their Guan family sisters, to the four sons of the Guan family, and her aunt Guan Huanxi, who was a mountain phoenix.

Then the conversation began with her aunt, and by the time the commune stopped, the situation of several marriageable girls and young men was clear to her.

It turned out that there was a matchmaker in the carriage. It's not the kind of opera that 'has a pair of big feet, a long cigarette pouch in his mouth, a coat, and a black mole on his face'.

The eldest lady in people's hometown is not the one who messes with the mandarin duck spectrum in order to make money. You ask Guan Ping'an, how do you know? Just look at Aunt Liang's attitude.

She is still praising her grandsons, and is grateful to the other party for finding a good daughter-in-law for her Liang family. Feelings, who now want to think about the candidate for the eldest grandson.

The commune is about ten miles away from Maliutun. If you walk, it takes more than an hour for adults, not to mention three children and a Liang aunt with inconvenient legs.

Usually, the three golden brothers of the Guan family run back and forth by themselves, and there are villages all the way, except for the dirt road or potholes, the road will not be desolate.

It is undoubtedly much faster to be able to get to the commune by carriage than on foot, and it would be better if there were no bumps in the jump.

The market was set up in the commune's original vegetable market, located on the left side of the commune, and there was also a buying station nearby, which was dedicated to buying the people's surplus agricultural and sideline products.

However, it is the ninth day of the year, and there is a big bazaar, and many members and comrades usually set up stalls in the bazaar, and buy some daily necessities by the way.

When they came, the market was bustling with activity, full of people, and even more relatives, from neighboring villages, rushing to sell goods......

Open your voice and say hello, you are greeted by warm smiles, almost everyone knows each other, it is a big gathering of ten miles and eight villages!

Most of the things in the baskets in Wangjiazhuang belong to their production team, and the middle-aged man who sat in the carriage the day before yesterday was said to be the accountant of Wangjiazhuang.

Because in these years, they don't want to sell some things privately, otherwise they are speculative, so the accountant and the boss Uncle Wang came to set up a stall to sell things from their production team.

Of course, it's still okay to sell things grown in your own land. However, if it is rice, grain, pork, poultry and the like, it is definitely not possible for private individuals.

The contents of the basket carried by the aunt and lady in the same car had to go to the purchase station next to it, where there was already a queue in front of the door.

Of course, the most common people in line are the ones who sell baskets and baskets, and the ladies have more types, and there are all kinds of herbal insoles.

These things are different from seasonal fruits and vegetables, wild fruits and mountain goods and eggs in the mountains, so they will not set up stalls and always go directly to the purchase station.

When they arrived at the ground, Aunt Liang and the old ladies of Wangjiazhuang made an appointment for the return trip and dispersed. On the way here, she said that she was mainly here to buy some salt and soy sauce or something.

As for why not go to the consignment point in Tunli?

Guan Ping'an estimated that Aunt Liang also has an opinion on Aunt Ma Widow!

"Xiaozhuzi is pulling your sister, An An grabbed my clothes, you know?"

Guan Ping'an looked at the thighs in the crowd of people in the market, glanced at the stall in Wangjiazhuang not far away, grabbed the corner of her clothes, and nodded seriously, "Grandma Liang, if you can't find me, I must be waiting for you here, there is a big tree, I saw it." ”

Aunt Liang saw that such a young person as her was still talking seriously, and she immediately laughed happily.

Compared with Guan Xiaozhu, who nodded casually to herself and looked around, she undoubtedly liked Guan Ping'an more, "Wait a minute, Grandma Liang will buy you candy, don't go with people you don't know, understand?"

A trace of impatience flashed in Guan Xiaozhu's eyes, and finally took Guan Ping'an's little hand, and said with a smile, "Grandma Liang, let's go, I'll watch her." ”

There are not only many people in the market, but when they get closer, it is also very large, all the size of the Maliutun Drying Field, it seems that there are many stalls, but in fact, the goods are still very single.

I just went into a small piece of land, and I slipped through to sell vegetables.

Now the vegetable gardens have just been sown, and the vegetables sold are basically some vegetables from the previous year, such as cabbage, potatoes and radishes.

Vegetables and eggs are also collected at the purchase station, but the purchase price is relatively low, so if you sell them yourself, it will take some time, but the price will be slightly higher.

For example, this egg can be sold for 5 cents and 5 cents in the market, but it can only be sold for 5 cents at the purchase station, which can be a full 5 cents more.

Don't look down on this money, it looks very small at first glance, but the farmer's life is not eager to break a penny in half. If you add up a lot, you will save a lot.

These are the words that her grandmother often put on her lips.

There are some stalls of mountain goods and wild vegetables on the middle road, and after this road is a stall selling non-staple food. There are fewer varieties than vegetables.

Guan Ping'an saw that the most was vermicelli, and the number was not much, and then he stood on tiptoe and tilted his little head, and what he saw was tofu and some bean sprouts.

According to Liang Zhihong's words, the vermicelli is basically produced by the rice mills and mills of the nearby production team, and they can be exchanged for money tickets or grain at the market.

You can also bring your own things, go to these small workshops in person, and hand over some manual processing costs. For example, tofu, her family uses soybeans to be processed at the mill next door every year.

And there are many farmers who have poured beans on their own beans, and the villagers who are not in a hurry are willing to take advantage of the big market and come here early to squat and sell slowly.

There is a lady who exchanged two eggs for two catties of bean sprouts, saying that what is the common saying is that eggs are exchanged for salt, and the two do not look for money.

I don't understand!

But Guan Ping'an somewhat understood why her grandmother was so precious to the hens in the house. Eggs are not equal to silver, especially since everyone is willing to exchange them, so they can be regarded as taking what they need.
