My grandfather refused: "I think he's in a bad mood, I guess he likes to be quiet." The bazaar is so chaotic. He didn't necessarily want to go. ”

I nodded, okay, I hope he's better soon.

We went to the market in the town together, in addition to wanting to buy some New Year's goods, I also went to the bookstore to buy a few books, now there are very few people who do business, they are all state-run stores, but before the New Year, generally no one cares, so there will be many people who take their own things out to sell goods, carrying baskets and walking around, carefully asking people if they want eggs or fungus pheasants and the like, seeing that the situation is not right, quickly ran. Of course, most of them still buy it in state-run stores.

This street is really a very lively place, and it has since developed into a business district in the town, and many people who bought houses and stores here earlier have made a fortune. The widow Li Jinfeng in our village had a business suit here, which was given to her by a good old man, and it was just a broken bungalow at that time, and it was not worth much. When she was demolished, she added a little money and changed to a commercial uniform, but no one expected that later, the development would be so good? Her commercial uniform was already worth at least two million in the back.

After Gao Haisheng found out about it, he regretted not buying one in advance, and said that I was a loser, and it was better to marry Li Jinfeng from the beginning.

I already knew Gao Haisheng's true face at that time, and I was numb to his shamelessness.

Now that I think about this, I'm a little excited, now that I know what the future holds, why don't I buy a house here and make a lot of money?

Grandpa grabbed me and said, "What's the fuss? ”

I nodded, and walked over there with my grandfather, and I was really startled to see the bustling crowd, there were too many people here, right? I grabbed my grandfather's hand vigorously, for fear of getting lost.

"Why so many people!"

"Of course. My grandfather smiled and said, "You didn't want to come with me before, but this year is really different." ”

In my previous life, I didn't want to come to such a place, dirty and messy, and it was so cold outside, my grandfather came out to buy New Year's goods by himself, and then married into the city, and this town never came again, and now I accompany my grandfather to come, I think it's actually quite interesting.

We first went to the bookstore to buy books, but the store there was too small and there were no textbooks for sale, so I bought a cut book, as well as a simple accounting book related to accounting. It's very old, the cover is broken, and the waiter doesn't mean to be cheap.

I didn't care, I took the money and left with my grandfather.

We continued to walk through the market, it was really too crowded, and I was worried about my grandfather's safety.

My grandfather smiled and said, "There are more people, more lively! Say what you want, I'll buy it for you." ”

I clapped my hands and laughed, "Then let's buy something delicious." ”

Fungus, red dates, dried walnuts, sugar cubes, sugar gourds, a pack of calcium milk biscuits, and two canned fruits, we bought so many delicious things in front of everyone's eyes. I also bought alabaster and incense powder, and the jealousy in the eyes of the people around me was about to fly out of the sky.

Also, I bought a bottle of red wine for my grandfather. The bottle and workmanship were rough, there was sediment of sediment in it, and the color was not very pure, but it was already a good thing at that time.

My grandfather refused several times and wouldn't let me buy it.

I said, "Take it, this wine is delicious." "Gao Haisheng's family likes to drink, and the money used is my grandfather's, these grandsons can drink, why can't my grandfather drink it?

When my grandfather saw that I bought it back, he was still very happy and accepted it with a smile.

Because I wanted to make clothes, I bought a thick flannel cloth, blue, which I could make a coat for my grandfather and wear it at the beginning of spring, and the rest of the fabric was probably enough for Mr. Zhao to make a vest. I told my grandfather what I thought.

My grandfather happily took out the money and the cloth ticket: "Cheng! You have the final say." I listen to you. ”

When we were shopping for groceries, we met a lot of people from the same village, and even educated youth, but because my staff was very poor, no one greeted us, so we just nodded and passed. I didn't see anything strange in their eyes, and I didn't hear those scandals about me, I don't know if it was because of the Chinese New Year, so Aunt Zhu didn't have the heart to say these words to others?

Otherwise, when I was preparing for the New Year's string of relatives, I began to arrange me?

"I don't know what she thinks, but she didn't say it, but she was quite calm. ”

"Whatever he thinks, if she dares to speak ill of you, she'll die. My grandfather said.

We finally bought some stove candy, just in time to see Lin Xiaoyan, she bought dried kelp at the stall diagonally opposite, although it was going to be the New Year, but looking at her still wearing old clothes, her family background was really not good.

Kelp is very cheap, nine cents can buy a large bundle, used to cook soup or mix cold vegetables, stir-fry vegetables, when the spring is opened, the potatoes and cabbage at home are eaten up, it is the time when the green and yellow are not connected, you can use kelp to deal with this period of hard time. I eat until the vegetables in the garden in the summer come down.

I saw Lin Xiaoyan put some steel hammers in her hand, as if she was counting money, but counting was not enough, her forehead was sweaty, and she looked very anxious.

The salesman who sold kelp said impatiently, "Okay, whether you want to buy it or not, if you don't buy it, just go aside! What about so many people? How can you do it in front of you?"

The coin in Lin Xiaoyan's hand fell under the counter, she screamed, and hurriedly squatted over there to pick up the money, but with so many people, walking around, she couldn't find it at all, and she was already anxious to cry.

I walked over and put a dollar in her hand: "You go buy kelp." I can't find the money. ”

"Ah, it's you!" she looked at me in surprise, surprised and delighted: "Xiu'er, you are so good." But so much money ......"

"What's this? Just pay me back when you have the money, and my grandfather and I will leave first. I waved at her and grabbed my grandfather and left. I walked a few steps, and when I looked back, I saw that Lin Xiaoyan was already holding the bundle of kelp, and she was still looking for me, and when she saw me turn around, she waved her hand happily. A big smile came.

I also feel that it is really a pleasure to help people and solve their urgent needs.

My grandfather said to me, "Well done girl." Why don't you go with her? I can go back first. ”

I smiled, "Lin Xiaoyan is a shy person, I guess she doesn't know what to say to me now, and I don't want her to think that I used this little favor to buy her." Take your time. "I want to be friends with Lin Xiaoyan, but I have a bad reputation, what if people don't look down on me, wouldn't it be a hot face and a cold ass.

"So, okay, it makes sense. ”

When we went home, there were scattered snowflakes, and we saw Mr. Zhao sweeping the snow at the gate of the yard from a distance.

My grandfather waved at him and shouted, "No need to sweep." This snow can't even cover the ground!"

Mr. Zhao said: "It's okay, I'm also idle, and I can't help you with anything else." Alas, did you buy a book?" he saw the book in my hand, his eyes lit up, and he was a person who loved to learn.

I quickly shook the book in front of him.

He said: "You like to read so much, I'll get you a book for you to see, I have novels there, world classics." ”

I refused: "I can't read a few words, I really can't read, Mr. Zhao, do you have any middle school textbooks there? ”

Mr. Zhao was stunned: "Do you want to study?"

I smiled embarrassedly, "I thought if I could, I'd look at the textbooks and learn about culture." In the future, there will be a correspondence university self-examination school in the city, which can be a little better than the general school. I just wanted to give it a try, and with a diploma, it would be easier to find a job in the city in the future. ”

Mr. Zhao smiled apologetically: "But I don't have a textbook over there." ”

I was a little disappointed, but I still smiled, and said that it didn't matter, I would talk about it later, how to get this book, there are few people in the village who read, and the textbooks are not easy to find, and I am embarrassed to beg my grandfather.

Mr. Zhao said, "Don't worry, I want to find a way." It's a good thing for people to be self-motivated, and only by reading more can they have a future. ”

I nodded, and Mr. Zhao went back.

My grandfather and I were just about to go in, when we suddenly heard the tip of a woman from the Lin family, and then the sound of a child screaming.

The woman of the Lin family shouted, "This is flour, loser, do you know how expensive it is, and it's all turned to the ground!"

Her man said: "He doesn't understand anything, it's useless for you to scold!

The woman was already crying: "Such a little flour is gone, and I still eat fart dumplings for the New Year!" The child didn't understand and knew that he laughed, and the man kept comforting her, and my grandfather and I looked at each other. It's not easy for every family.

I said, "Otherwise, we ......."

"No, I can't. Grandpa waved his hand: "Give it to her family, do you want to lend it to others?" There is a total of one family with such white noodles, this case can't be opened, let's pretend not to know! That child is a problem, let's send noodles over, doesn't it mean that we know about their family? ”

I had no choice but to forget it, and I was busy for a few more days, sweeping the house, doing cleaning, dismantling quilts and washing mattresses, frying noodles and meatballs, and cooking red beans to make red bean buns.

Every family is so busy, in the previous life, it was all done by my grandfather, and in this life I have done it all by myself.

Mr. Zhao often stayed in his house day by day without going out, and he didn't know what he was busy with. Neither my grandfather nor I asked.

On the morning of the twenty-eighth, I took some flour and went to the village mill.

There are people here who are watching and doing business with the villagers, and the people can take the flour to exchange for the noodles, dumpling skins, twist flowers, etc., or they can take the coarse grain for fine grain, and the fine grain for coarse grain. He makes the difference from the middle.

I'm going to change a little bit of rice today.
