Chapter 58: Hurry
After a few days of cloudy weather, it finally let people see the faint light it emitted after the clouds on the day of the rush. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Xi Wei in the morning is like a little girl poking her head out, gentle and shy, which makes people like it tightly.
Song and a large family stood on the side of the road at the entrance of the village and waited, waiting for the company's ox cart to pass by. Xing Youyou was tightly carried behind her by her eldest brother with a dark blue cotton strap, the baby's life was used to it, so that she was used to sleeping lazily in the morning, and getting up so early today really made her feel very sleepy. Lying on the eldest brother's body, smelling the familiar smell on his body made her feel very relieved, turned her head, changed her side, smashed the saliva flowing out of the teeth, and Xing fell asleep fragrantly.
Feeling the movement of the little sister on his back, Xing Youliang smiled softly, took a deep breath of the cold air in this winter, expelled the drowsiness in his brain, and noticed that there seemed to be a big thing approaching in the mist in the distance.
"Grandma, the ox cart seems to have arrived. ”
Song: "Yes, but it seems to be full." ”
Song looked at the ox cart that was slowly approaching, there were several people pulled on the small cart board, and some agricultural goods, heh, even his own mother was there.
Song recognized the old lady Xiong sitting on it at a glance, and of course the old lady Xiong also saw her, but she turned her head and didn't see it at a glance.
The thin black man who was driving the car parked the car in front of the Song family,
"I'm sorry, old lady, there are too many of you to fit, or you can wait for the next trip, or you can walk. ”
Graphite Village is not close to the town, there are ten miles of road, Fu Xiaojian is reluctant in his heart,
"Squeeze, squeeze, there's still a place here. So saying, he squeezed himself into the ox cart.
The man who was driving the car hurriedly got out of the car and pulled him down.
"No, it's not that you can't sit down, it's that the cow can't pull such a heavy thing. ”
Fu Xiaojian had no choice but to follow Song to the town.
By the time they reached the town, the sun had completely / showed its head, covering the whole town in a warm golden yellow.
This town is not big, but it is very lively, maybe because it is almost the New Year, the streets are surging with layers of people, bustling, so that the sleeping Xing Youyou is also woken up.
There are a lot of people on the street, men, women, old and young, but most of them are dressed in dark blue or black and gray clothes, and occasionally a little other color, and they must be from good families living in this town.
The streets are bustling, with many vendors selling citrus, cabbage, and dried cowpeas from their yards on both sides of the smooth mud road, as well as windmills selling sugar gourds next to the windmill owner. These two stalls are full of children, of course, including foodie Xing Youqian.
Xing Youqian looked pitifully at a child of about the same age next to him who cherished the sugar gourd he cherished one by one, and almost didn't put his eyeballs on it.
Song looked at the pitiful appearance of the little grandson, walked up and spent two cents to buy him a sugar gourd,
"No, little gluttonous cat. ”
Xing Youqian took it and strung it into a string of red in his hand, and the shiny sugar gourd stretched out his tongue and added it gently. The sweet taste made him smile and squint, and when he was about to take a bite to taste what was inside, he was snatched away by his uncle, who had been eyeing him all the time, and bit off two of them in one bite.
"Wow~" Xing Youqian stood on the street and cried all of a sudden, causing many people to look sideways.
Xing Youyou looked at this uncle who snatched the child's sugar gourd very speechlessly, and really wanted to pretend that he didn't know him, there was still such a person.
Song slapped his son, who was a bull above him,
"Don't be ashamed, you, hurry up and return it. ”
Fu Xiaojian, who was chewing on the sugar gourd in his mouth, argued inarticulately,
"I'll just taste it, it's pretty good, No, I'll give it back to you, I'm still crying when I'm so old, isn't it embarrassing?"
The whole family suddenly looked at Fu Xiaojian, who was shameless, with petrification.
Although the streets were very lively, the Song family did not forget their purpose, they came to exchange food. However, to exchange food, you must first exchange food stamps. Food stamps are not something that can be bought anywhere, and they have to be in the hands of people who eat public food. Some of them will exchange their food stamps for other things, such as money, on the day of the rush.
Maybe it was because it was almost the Chinese New Year, and Song saw at a glance that a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue suit and a hat of the same style was standing at the door of a household on the street, exchanging the food stamps in his hand for an egg seller. Song stepped forward to talk to the man, wanting to exchange all the food stamps in his hand.
When the Song family was busy exchanging food stamps, the sharp-eyed Xing Youyou saw that in the courtyard of this good-looking house, there was one of the people sitting who seemed to be her own grandmother.
"Brother, you see grandma is inside. Xing Youqian pointed to the old lady Xiong who was nodding and smiling in the courtyard.
"Yo, are you still acquaintances of Old Lady Xiong?" asked the middle-aged man in a dark blue suit.
"Well, I know, this is your house?" asked Song.
"yes, that's where I live. ”
"Then what are you doing when she comes on?"
"Oh, come and dear. ”
Xing Youyou used her toes to think that she knew who she was helping to kiss, it must be for her daughter Xing Guihua, who wants to spoil the heavens.
After the Song family negotiated the price, the sentence had grain in exchange for 50 catties of national food stamps with ten yuan in his hand. (Of course, Yoyo has put the money back in its original place). Just as the group was about to go to the grain station to exchange the food stamps for grain, they saw that the gate of the supply and marketing cooperatives was full of people.
The walls on both sides of the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperatives are full of various ink paintings, and the stalls set up next to the wall are also placed with various New Year's dolls, as well as couplets, blessing characters and so on. Of course, the most popular of them is the New Year's doll, the chubby cute doll holding the fat carp, smiling so sweetly.
Song was also attracted by this festive New Year's painting, and took out the money to buy one, and Xing Youliang carried Xing Youyou directly into the store.
On three walls of the store are two-meter-high wooden containers, which are divided into various sizes of lattices by cross-shaped wooden strips, some of which are about 30 centimeters square, and some are 70 centimeters long. There are all kinds of goods on it, including wine, cigarettes, spices, brown sugar, white sugar, soap, needlework, stationery and so on.
Xing Youliang couldn't take his eyes off the stationery in the glass cabinet at hand, Xing Youqian looked at the various candies in front of him, and Xing Youyou saw the big words "seeds" written on the shelf next to him at a glance.
Fu Xiaojian, who was pulling the fair-eyed saleswoman in the counter, was not interested in anything, and he didn't seem to see the other party's disgusted expression towards him at all. And a male salesman next to him looked at this and didn't buy anything, and Fu Xiaojian, who was like a beggar, directly caught up with people.
"Let's go, where did the beggar come from, it stinks to death. ”
