There are two streets connecting the east and west city gates and the north and south city gates respectively in the ancient town castle, and the large and small lanes crisscrossing on both sides of the street are paved with bluestone slabs in the middle, and river pebbles are paved on both sides, and some are all paved with river pebbles.

The old market street that runs through the north and south of the ancient town is more than 600 meters long, 6-8 meters wide, the center of the street is all paved with bluestone slabs, because of the topographical relationship of high north and low south, the street forms "nine bends and thirteen bends" with the shape, just like a green dragon that is about to fly.

The south city gate is connected to a newly repaired main street, the length of the "market street" is more than 100 meters, and the end of the street is the newly built farmers' market and bazaar.

At this time, the residents on both sides of the ancient street will take out a little bit of what they have made at home, and put it at the door in a basket or frame to sell.

Nowadays, most of the people who go to sell things go to the market. In addition to the various shops, both sides of the main street are filled with various stalls, so the "Market Street" has become the new main street, which quickly replaced the commercial function of the old street in the town.

Today is the market day in the town, as early as the first year of Tang Tiancheng, there is a five-day market period, and there are a lot of people rushing to the market every market day.

There were a lot of people on the street, too many. If it comes to the New Year's holiday, it's called a lively, that's called a crowd! It's like squeezing the morning subway in Shanghai.

Vendors stood on both sides of the street doing business, stalls from stall to stall, and people buying things one after another. 20 years later, Shanghai's Nanjing Road and Chenghuang Temple must be willing to bow down!

In the ancient town, because the villagers are very familiar with each other, if there are strangers from other places who do not know each other entering the village through the city gate, everyone will pay a little attention, so there has been no incident of children being abducted and trafficked.

In the village, children can walk around the castle with peace of mind, as long as they do not go to the bus station outside the city gates. Even if one person walks down the street, parents are relieved.

Tan Liyun's small stall is the street of Main Street, and Lin Ziqing walked to her mother's stall alone.

There is a square table in the stall, where pots and spoons of fairy grass jelly are placed. Today, the weather is a little hot, it is now more than ten o'clock in the morning, and there are a few guests sitting at another large round table eating fairy grass jelly.

"Mom," Lin Ziqing shouted

Tan Liyun, who was frying triangle cakes with her head down, raised her head and saw Lin Ziqing standing alone in front of the stall.

"Qingqing, why did you come out alone, the street is very crowded, why don't you come with your father?"

Lin Ziqing walked to the back of the stall to tease Lin Zitian, who was sitting in a "sitting chair" made of wood. This is the old stroller, which cannot be pushed and walked, and there is a wooden bolt in the middle to prevent children from coming out and walking around.

"Dad went to grandma's house, grandma's house caught a little piglet today, grandma asked dad to take a look"

Lin Ziqing looked at the sweat on her mother's forehead, pursed her lips, did not ask for food, and habitually took out her pocket to find out the tissue, only to realize where there was a napkin at this time...... She didn't even have a handkerchief.

"Do you want to eat a bowl of fairy grass jelly?" Tan Liyun looked up, she fried a triangle cake, wiped her hands on the apron, and did not pour the rice milk into the pot for the time being.

"I don't eat it, it's hot today, I'm sure I'll sell out!"

"Sister, out, out." Lin Zitian grabbed Lin Ziqing with both hands, looked at her with expectant eyes, and wanted to get out of the chair.

After sitting for a long time, he was full of impatience and wanted to go down to the ground for a walk, Tan Liyun suspected that there were too many people, so he didn't let him come out, and only threw a few wooden toys for him to play with.

"Let my brother come out, it's okay, I'll look at him, it's right here at the stall, don't go away."

Lin Ziqing opened the wooden bolt on the chair and released Lin Zitian, and he jumped happily as soon as he came out.

After a few guests finished eating, paid and left, Tan Liyun threw the money into a box made of iron next to her.

Lin Ziqing glanced at the gross ticket in the box, as well as a few points of banknotes and a few coins. Lin Ziqing said to her mother: "How much money was sold today, or I will help you calculate, let me practice arithmetic."

In fact, she wanted to see how much money her mother could make at this time, and in the future, she would find a way to help Tan Lirong come up with some other business ideas, selling food that most people in these ancient towns would make, and the income was not considerable.

Tan Liyun trustfully handed the iron box to her, because she had already taught Lin Ziqing to know the size of the coin, and she also knew that her addition and subtraction within a hundred was good.

Lin Ziqing poured out all the coins in the box and arranged them on the table according to their size, and Lin Zitian wanted to get close to the table to grab the money when he saw it.

"Money, money." Lin Zitian looked at the money on the table unwillingly, stretched out one hand, and wanted to grab it.

Lin Ziqing counted it, a total of less than 30 yuan, from 6 o'clock in the morning to now, only so much, remove the cost, can not earn 10 yuan a day, which makes 20 years later, she doesn't know what to buy when she takes out a hundred yuan, sighs, now the price is really cheap, this is still a market day.

"Mom, it's calculated, it's a total of twenty-eight yuan, three cents and five cents." Lin Ziqing put all the money in the iron box, and when she handed it to her mother, she asked casually

"Mom, have you thought about doing something else? It's tiring to do this, and you can't make much money, have you considered anything else? ”

"If you don't do this, what do you do, children, what do you know how to do? , okay, why don't you give me ideas when you grow up! Mom, I'll just listen to you and do something else. Tan Liyun pointed at Lin Ziqing's forehead with a finger and said disapprerovingly

"I ......" Lin Ziqing wanted to say, she knew a lot, but at her current age, with this small body, what to say was not convincing at all, she lowered her head in frustration and didn't say anything more.

"Okay, okay, mom knows that Qingqing is the most well-behaved, I want my mother not to work so hard, you, as long as you go to school hard, study hard, and be admitted to a good school in the future, my mother won't worry about anything, you know!" Tan Liyun gently rubbed her daughter's shoulder with her hand, she wanted to touch her head, but Lin Ziqing was wearing a hat.

"Good ......" I was going to give my mother an idea today, but failed, Lin Ziqing collapsed her shoulders in discouragement, this road is still long, keep working hard!

The days passed like this, except for Saturday to learn painting and calligraphy, Lin Ziqing went to her aunt's house to do homework with her cousin every day after school, and followed Huang Feng to learn the textbooks learned by those children.

What Lin Ziqing wants, she still has to rely on her own struggle, so she doesn't think very highly of herself, she feels that she can do anything, and the purpose of trying to learn from them is to make herself very smart in front of her parents, she decided to wait for herself to plant a seed in her parents' hearts that she is a "little genius", and they will agree a little to what she wants to do in the future.

In the blink of an eye, late autumn has arrived, and the pace of winter is approaching, the old people in the village began to make cotton shoes, cotton clothes and cotton pants for the juniors of the family when they were slack.

After Tan Liyun came back from the stall every day, she took out the wool and began to knit sweaters, her hands were very skillful, and the knitted sweaters were very beautiful, Lin Ziqing liked them very much.

In her previous life, her mother knitted a lot of sweaters for her, and in the end, only those sweaters were left for Lin Ziqing......
