Chapter 51: Stand up and kick
"This is a cassette of operas, this is a cassette of songs, they are all the most popular songs right now, you have to get tired of listening to them, and I will bring them to you next time I come back from school. In the future, if you want to get upset, listen to the song......"
Mother and daughter had a good day, and in the kitchen, she inserted a cassette tape and turned on the tape recorder on the spot.
With the sound of beautiful music, it seems that the flavor of this year is going to be extra strong.
The Spring Festival in the northern countryside is particularly lively, and this kind of excitement is not only available during the New Year, but has been there since the beginning of the year.
After entering the wax moon, Mingyue Town will not stop gathering, and people from Sili and Eight Townships will be bustling every day and begin to buy New Year's goods.
And there will be several times more people doing business on the streets of the town than usual!
Just those who sell Spring Festival couplets and window flowers can set up a street.
The same is true of Xu Nuo's fertilizer store, which will set up a bed board in front of the store at this time of the year, and begin to make temporary cameos to sell firecrackers, Spring Festival couplets, and sell some bulk peanuts, melon seeds, white sugar, brown sugar, and so on.
Because of the long time, rural people are not as eager as urban people when buying New Year's goods, and they don't need to buy everything at once in one day.
Instead, it's like deliberately going to the streets to crowd the hustle and bustle, going every day and coming back with a little bit of shopping a day.
Buy ginger today, garlic cloves, and rice the day after tomorrow......
You are you, you don't ride a car, just with your hands behind your back, humming Qin, holding a cigarette, occasionally seeing people in the village, laughing or nodding, even if you have said hello.
After going back, I sat at the door of my house smoking a cigarette and basking in the sun, and occasionally saw others coming back from the market, and I would ask a ridiculous question.
"Yo, I've made a fortune this year, and I've bought a pig to come back for the New Year, right?"
……
Of course, the above standards are the rhythm of life of rich people or ordinary people, like Tong Yao's family, which basically saves this kind of thing.
Every year during the Chinese New Year, their family will only go to buy some meat before the New Year, which is enough to make a few dumplings.
As for vegetables, my mother would prepare them in advance very early, green onions, white radish, I have them, and I don't need to spend money to buy them.
Early the next morning, shouts of promise rang out at the door of the house.
"Tong Yao!Tong Yao!Did you get up?It's on the set!Do you want to go......"
In the past, every year, the fertilizer lady promised to go to the market to help her parents look at the stall, of course, not in vain, otherwise she would not go with the character of promise.
And Tong Yao, one is to help others, and the other is to play with the promise, so she will follow almost every day.
This year is no exception, so the day after she came back, she came to call Tong Yao early in the morning.
"You come in first, I'll wash my face. ”
Tong Yao's voice came from the kitchen, and he walked into the kitchen with a promise.
After Tong Yao cleaned up, the two rode a bicycle and started riding from Yangshu Village to Mingyue Town.
When going uphill, Tong Yao was pedaling hard, and he listened to Xu Yu talking from behind.
"I heard that the county opened a battery car, that is, to put a battery on the bicycle, no one has to work hard, just pinch the handle of the car and run away, but unfortunately my dad does not agree to buy ......"
"I said eldest sister, this is uphill, if you have the kung fu to talk nonsense, can you go down and push me......"
Tong Yao snorted tiredly, promised to hear that he was going to go down to push the cart, quickly shut up, sat in the back seat and pretended to have no signal, and didn't say a word.
"I said don't play dead, huh...... This is uphill, big sister, why don't you go down and walk for a while. ”
"Hey, you're pretending to be asleep again, aren't you?"
……
Tong Yao shouted a few times, promising not to move, but she had no choice but to use her strength to continue to push.
Suddenly, just halfway up the hill, she felt as if the bike was a little unmoving......
Xu promised to hold Tong Yao's waist, ride a big horse and sit on the back seat of the bicycle, just as he was proud, but found that the swaying right-footed truck was inside, and he was about to call Tong Yao to stop, but he saw Tong Yao get up from the seat.
That's right, Tong Yao found that she couldn't kick anymore, so she stood up and pedaled......
With a click, the tears of painful promises came down.
When he came to Mingyue Town, he limped and pouted, and Tong Yao was still explaining while pushing the bicycle.
"I really don't blame me this time, I thought I couldn't pedal uphill, so I stood up and pedaled, besides, I told you to get down the cart a long time ago, and you have been pretending to be dead......"
……
Today is the ninth day of the lunar month, the market in Mingyue Town has been open for nine days, the street is bustling, even the road in the middle of the original street, at this moment has been densely set up temporary New Year's stalls.
Selling vegetables, fruits, meat, firecrackers, and Spring Festival couplets are all in sight.
The stall of the Promise family is in front of his fertilizer shop, right in the middle of the street.
When the two of them went, her parents were busy.
Their family's business has expanded again this year, in addition to fireworks and spring couplets, this year they have also added some peanuts, candies, rice, flour, grain and oil.
There are too many people visiting the market, and I can't expect Xu Zhenguo and his family to be busy at all.
So as soon as Xu Promise and Tong Yao went, they were immediately arranged to the fireworks and firecrackers area.
As for the price, it is also very simple, just go higher at this time.
The two took a bench from the store and sat in front of the stall, and promised to grab a large handful of melon seeds and peanuts from the side, so the two sold them while knocking, and then chatted at the same time.
"I said, can you send your 80,000 yuan this month?"
"I don't know......"
"What are you going to do if you send it down?"
"I'm going to pay off the debts I owe to my family first. ”
"Yes, yes, pay back the debt, but what about the rest?"
"The rest is slowly ......"
Promise:......
"Boss, how can you sell this kind of sky?"
"Twenty pieces of a board. ”
As he spoke, another business was completed, and a young man who was working in other places took his children and selected five diamond monkeys from the stall and got 100 yuan.
He promised to fill a bag for others, and then took the money and put it directly into his own pocket.
Tong Yao looked at the money box in front of her, then turned her head to look at her parents who were busy working on their backs, and whispered.
"You're so good, you forgot about the beating you took last year, and you dare to take money from the stall?"
When the two of them sold guns last year, Xu promised to put the money from selling guns into his pocket, but after buying them, Xu Zhenguo took a look at the accounts and found that not only did he not make money by selling guns, but he also lost money, but the guns were obviously sold out.
was puzzled, and finally under the threat of the belt, he promised to confess the facts of his crime, and was hanged and beaten.
But this year seems to be different, Xu promised to cover his mouth proudly and whispered.
"Last year, my dad was worried about my application for Baiyun Vocational and Technical College, I was beaten if I didn't steal money, and last year because I stole too much, even the capital was stolen, this year is different, I see no ......"
Xu Promise said proudly, and took out another thirty dollars from his pocket and threw it into the money box.
