strong> Chapter 61 Buying New Year's goods

After lunch, Yuan Anping pulled out two sweet potatoes from the bottom of the pot, put them in during cooking, and roasted them by the falling ashes. ｀｀し

It was a little hot, Yuan Anping pinched the end of the sweet potato and lifted it out, and asked a few of them in the yard: "Do any of you want to eat it?" I'll give you one. ”

The three of them all shook their heads, Sweet potatoes have already been injured, and they are not rare at all, not to mention that they have only eaten for a long time. Yuan Anping likes to bake sweet potatoes, but when he eats them, he will get a hand of black ash, after all, they are roasted at the bottom of the stove, which is different from the ones he used to buy on the street.

Yuan Anping bit the sweet potato and felt that it tasted very good, so he couldn't help but suggest: "Xiaohan, why don't you pick some small sweet potatoes to eat in the afternoon?" ”

"Okay." Yuan Anping's suggestion, of course Huo Xiaohan would not refuse.

"Cook it in the pot for a while, and the skin is sticky, it's the sweetest."

Zhongsun Lianjue said to him: "Don't just think about eating, memorize the article as soon as possible, don't forget that I have to memorize the exam today." ”

Yuan Anping nibbled on the sweet potato and said, "Don't worry, how could I forget." He didn't want to be beaten.

After eating the sweet potato, Yuan Anping took a pen and paper and came out: "Tomorrow, let's go to the county seat to do New Year's goods, everyone wants to buy something, I will write it down first, so as not to miss the purchase when I get it, and I have to run again." ”

Huo Xiaohan thought for a while and said: "You have to buy fragrant wax, and you have to use it to worship gods, sacrifices, and ancestors." There are also red paper, New Year's paintings, and firecrackers. ”

Zhong Sunrui thought of the various good things that his friends mentioned about the New Year, and couldn't help but ask: "Brother Anping, do you want to buy sugar?" ”

Yuan Anping was very refreshing: "Buy." ”

Huo Xiaohan thought for a while, "The seasoning at home is almost gone, and there is still salt." ”

Yuan Anping wrote: "Buy, buy more." ”

Zhongsun Lianjue said: "You have to prepare some paper. ”

"Okay."

"There is also fish, there must be fish on the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner."

"Understand, every year. Well, I'll make a note of that. "The chicken, fish, meat and eggs used for the New Year, everything else can be bought in the village, only the fish has to go to the county seat.

Several people thought about it again, and then made a note of what they wanted to buy.

Looking at the things listed on the paper, Yuan Anping counted them and found that there were not many of them. With a stroke of the pen, I added some snacks, and there were children visiting the door during the New Year, and there was something to entertain.

Everyone got up early the next morning, and there was movement in the village very early, and breakfast was eaten at home, so as not to spend money in the county seat.

As usual, everyone made an appointment to meet at the entrance of the village. Yuan Anping supported Lian Jue, the middle grandson who could walk with a cane. Today, the old man also went out with him, and it was time to go to Dr. Lin for a follow-up visit. As for how Zhongsun Lianjue should face his acquaintances when he sees them, it is not within Yuan Anping's consideration. In his opinion, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and what should be seen will be seen after all, so Yuan Anping didn't specifically remind the other party that Dr. Lin knew him. As for how many bad intentions are contained in it, and whether there is any suspicion of retaliating against Zhongsun Lianjue for beating him, only Yuan Anping himself knows best.

Huo Xiaohan followed Yuan Anping, and it was the first time he went to the county seat with the villagers. According to the modern people's view, for the people in the village, going to the county seat to do New Year's goods together is a big event.

Yuan Anping didn't expect it to be so coincidental, and he met the Huo family who came from the fork in the road. He subconsciously looked at Huo Xiaohan next to him.

Huo Xiaohan knew that he would run into them, but it was so close...... Since returning to the village, he has seen his mother for the first time, there is no sadness and sadness, some are embarrassed at most, and now the relationship between them, he doesn't know what to call these people in front of him.

Liu glanced at Huo Xiaohan, didn't make any face, as if he didn't see it, raised his feet and left. Huo Xiasheng, who was accompanying him, glared at Huo Xiaohan.

After these people left, Yuan Anping asked with concern: "Are you okay?" ”

Huo Xiaohan came back to his senses and smiled a little reluctantly: "It's okay." ”

Zhongsun Lianjue looked at Huo Xiaohan: "Some people are destined to have no fate, you don't have to be too sad." As long as you live with a clear conscience, you don't have to care too much about other people's eyes. He said this with great emotion.

Huo Xiaohan nodded: "Mr. Zhongsun, I understand." Looking at the departing figures, "I just don't know how to face them." ”

Yuan Anping said very easily when he heard this: "If you don't know how to face it, you won't face it, although the village is not big, it is not impossible to avoid them." ”

Huo Xiaohan knew that it could only be like this.

"Let's go quickly, lest everyone else arrives and they won't be able to wait."

"Okay." Huo Xiaohan didn't think about those things anymore, he was still looking forward to going to the county seat with everyone.

Seeing that Huo Xiaohan was back to normal, Yuan Anping was relieved. In fact, he can also leave the village to live elsewhere and spend some money to buy a house, and he does not live by farming. It's just that he can't just leave behind the children who want to learn.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Zhou Xiangzhi was talking to a few women who had a good relationship, and when she saw Yuan Anping and them, she beckoned Huo Xiaohan: "Xiaohan, come here." ”

Huo Xiaohan glanced at Yuan Anping.

Yuan Anping nodded: "Go, you follow the eldest lady." "Huo Xiaohan should have more contact with the people in the village, it would be better if he could make a friend, and he could share something on his mind with others.

Zhou Xiangzhi also felt that Huo Xiaohan's personality was too quiet, he didn't like to talk, and he needed help when he lived in the village for a long time. Therefore, when she had the opportunity, Zhou Xiangzhi pulled Huo Xiaohan into the crowd and contacted everyone.

Zhou Xiangzhi smiled and said to him: "Xiao Han, after entering the city, you follow us to do New Year's goods." ”

A woman smiled and said, "Yes, you are young and inexperienced, and you can save some money by following us." ”

Another woman smiled and said, "Sister Ying is the best at bargaining prices, and we are also following suit." ”

The woman who was called Sister Ying laughed and scolded: "Look at what you said, who doesn't know that you have the sharpest mouth." ”

Huo Xiaohan didn't have the ability to speak well, he couldn't take what others said, so he could only stand there and listen with a smile. Zhou Xiangzhi didn't have to chat with the few people in front of him, in fact, as long as he was in the crowd, everyone would not think that he was unsociable, and at most he would be thought stupid.

A woman saw Huo Xiaohan standing silently with a smile on his face, and after a closer look, she found that he was quite handsome, and greeted him with a smile: "Xiaohan, don't you see you going out?" "It's actually nothing to say.

"I ......" Huo Xiaohan didn't know what to say to be more suitable, he didn't go out much, mainly to avoid the Huo family.

Zhou Xiangzhi smiled and replied to him: "Anping's husband has a leg injury, and he needs to take care of him a lot, so he doesn't go out much." In the future, I will take him to work with you, he is thin-skinned, and you have to show some affection. ”

The women laughed and said that they couldn't talk about them so badly.

Several people also saw from Zhou Xiangzhi's attitude that Yuan Anping was going to marry Huo Xiaohan, otherwise how could Zhou Xiangzhi take Huo Xiaohan as if he was bringing his own family.

Huo Xiaohan just stood in the crowd, and occasionally asked him about any topic, he replied, most of the time listening to these women's words. He glanced at Yuan Xiaoyu, who was standing beside him.

Yuan Xiaoyu saw him coming, smiled at him, and then whispered to him, "Let's go to the car." "Someone started talking about her family, and she was embarrassed to stay. Seeing that Huo Xiaohan was not very comfortable, he felt that it was better to leave together. If you dodge it in this case, people will only think that she is shy.

"Okay." Huo Xiaohan was still a little unaccustomed to it, and after listening to Yuan Xiaoyu's suggestion, he walked away with her.

The two came to the car and stood at some distance from the others. Yuan Xiaoyu and Huo Xiaohan are not familiar with each other, because of Yuan Anping's relationship, they have to take care of Huo Xiaohan more.

Yuan Xiaoyu took the initiative to find something to say: "Xiaohan, do you remember everything you want to buy?" ”

"No, but I've got a note." As he spoke, he took out a paper and opened it, Yuan Anping and Zhongsun Lianjue would teach him literacy when they had time, and he knew most of the words on it.

Yuan Xiaoyu looked at what was written on the paper and said with a smile: "It's really thanks to Anping, if it was in the past, I wouldn't be able to read a single word on this paper." She also learned a lot of words with her brother, and every time she found that she already knew a lot of words, she felt an indescribable joy.

Huo Xiaohan also sighed: "It's good to be literate, don't be afraid to forget it." ”

Seeing this, Yuan Xiaoyu smiled and chatted with Huo Xiaohan about Yuan Anping, but he didn't have to worry that the other party wouldn't be able to answer.

Here, Yuan Anping met with a few children and chatted for a while. As for the people in the village who were the same age as him, they felt that they had nothing in common, and they would not take the initiative to talk to Yuan Anping.

After entering the city, I made an appointment with the children where they would gather later, told them to accompany them, and scared them that if they were taken away by human traffickers, they would not think about the New Year.

"Brother Anping, don't worry, we understand this." I don't know how many times I will be talked about by my father and mother every year, and my ears are calloused.

Finding that he was being ridiculed, Yuan Anping left decisively.

Zhongsun Lianjue looked at the medical hall in front of him, and when he found out who the doctor sitting in the hall was, his face was full of surprise.

When Dr. Lin saw them and got up with a smile. Seeing that Zhongsun Lianjue seemed to be surprised that he would be here, he greeted him with a smile: "Zhongsun Gongzi, long time no see." ”

Although Yuan Anping calls Zhongsun Lianjue every day, in fact, the other party is only in his forties, and he is still an uncle.

Zhongsun Lianjue was quite surprised: "I didn't expect Lin ...... Doctor, it will be in such a place. ”

Dr. Lin just smiled, and in public, some words were difficult to say.

Yuan Anping was very understanding, and after Lin Yi rushed over happily, he suggested: "Since you two haven't seen each other for so long, why don't you go to the back hall to have a good chat, and I'll take a few small ones to play first." We'll talk about the pulse when we get back. ”

The city is very lively, with stalls on both sides of the road next to each other. Yuan Anping was followed by a string of small tails. The children don't have much pocket money, so they're happy to get over it. Yuan Anping bought some fried peanuts and distributed them to them, and told them to follow him closely from time to time, and check the number of people from time to time, so as not to run around disobediently. I was tired, and I couldn't help but complain to them: "You all give me a little obedience, I wouldn't be with you if I knew it earlier, it's too much trouble." ”

"Haha, Brother Anping, you're too careful."

Yuan Anping glared: "Be careful to make the Wannian ship, in case you lose it, see how you celebrate the New Year!" Keep up with me honestly! ”

"Hee-hee-......" In private, everyone is not very afraid of him.

Huo Xiaohan is much better than Yuan Anping, and he followed Zhou Xiangzhi with Yuan Xiaoyu, listening to her tell the two of them, which one's cloth is cheap and good, and which one's shopkeeper gives the most fair price, which is very knowledgeable, and it is also very useful.

Zhou Xiangzhi told them: "You will live in the future, these are all things to pay attention to." This money can be saved, and you must be diligent and thrifty. Xiao Han, you and Anping don't have any elders to watch, so you have to think about it. In this life, the place where the flower should be spent has to be spent, but the place where the province has to be saved. ”

Huo Xiaohan nodded a little shyly.

After buying New Year's goods and returning to the village, everyone's enthusiasm was very high, and Yuan Anping felt tired enough.

Huo Xiaohan simply made dinner and asked Zhong Sunrui to call him grandpa, but Zhong Sunrui came back and said, "Grandpa said that he didn't eat dinner." ”

Huo Xiaohan was a little worried: "What's wrong with Mr.?" Isn't it uncomfortable? ”

Yuan Anping thought to himself: "What is this stimulus? ”

"I'd better go see him." Huo Xiaohan was a little uneasy.

Yuan Anping grabbed him: "Don't go, let him be alone." "Anyway, it must be related to the other party's past, and those things, they can't help the most.

Yuan An comforted Zhong Sun Rui peacefully: "Xiaorui, don't worry, I'll leave some food for your grandfather later, even if he is hungry, he will have something to eat." ”

Zhong Sunrui didn't know what to do, and when he heard Yuan Anping say this, he could only listen to him.

Fortunately, Zhongsun Lianjue didn't have an abnormality for long, and the next morning it was the same as before. Yuan Anping and Huo Xiaohan didn't gossip about what was going on, and they both felt that it was better not to mention it. 166 Reading Network
