The province of Tingyuan is located in the southwest direction, with a vast land area, and in addition to the large area of Kyoto, there are also many small territories scattered around. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Gudao Village is one of those many small territories. It is located northeast of Kyoto.

"Qing'er, today is your birthday, come back early when the things are sold, and my mother will cook you a few good dishes." A thick woman's voice sounded, and a woman in coarse linen stood in front of the door of a small tiled house, and said to the woman who was packing up the vegetable basket.

"Knowing Mother, Qing'er will definitely come back early today." The woman named Qing'er lowered her head, put the dishes into the big basket in order, and responded with a smile.

The woman's head bowed slightly, leaning against the door, looking at her own daughter who was so virtuous, and the relief in her heart did not know how much.

After a busy quarter of an hour, Qi Qing packed up the vegetable basket, got up and looked back at his mother, walked to her side in one step, took her hand, and his eyes fell on the clothes she had sewn and mended many times.

"Mother, I sold vegetables today, pull some cloth back, so that I can make clothes for you to spend the winter."

The woman's face was full of smiles, and she patted Qi Qing's hand with a smile: "Don't remember your mother, your mother still has clothes to wear." ”

Qi Qing took his mother's hand with his backhand: "Mother~ I'll pull some cloth back and make you a dress, and the rest of the cloth can also be made into some collars, this winter, it won't be so cold." ”

Listening to the girl's request, the smile on the woman's face became thicker: "Okay, Qing'er is in charge." ”

"Hey, hey." Lowering his head and chuckling twice, Qi Qing's body quickly walked to the vegetable basket again, and with great difficulty moved the vegetable basket onto the cart, he turned around and smiled at his mother: "Mother, I'm leaving." ”

The woman's head kept nodding, and she stretched out her hand again and beckoned.

Only then did Qi Qing turn around and push the cart with a little difficulty towards the lively main street.

Gudao Town is not big, a square town, the longest diagonal road is only two quarters of an hour, and every family can say a word or two when they see it, and say hello.

The fifteenth day of the first month of each month is the day of the market.

On this day, every family would bring things to the main street to sell, so that they could exchange something to subsidize their homes.

"Xiaoqing, your mother didn't come out today?" A woman about the age of Qi Qing's mother, carrying many straw objects, met her on the path.

"Huh! Hello Aunt Le. It was getting colder and colder, so I didn't let my mother come out. Saying that, Qi Qing lowered his head a little embarrassed.

When Aunt Le heard this, she also smiled Yan Yan on her face: "Xiaoqing is good, it's like our family, I don't do things every day!" As he spoke, he lowered his brows and looked at a boy in his teens beside him, and slapped his shoulder with his hand at the same time.

The little boy's face was obviously not good-looking, and his little nose was already wrinkled violently.

Qi Qing almost used all his strength to push the cart, hearing this, his steps finally stopped slightly, glanced at the male baby, and said with a smile: "Aunt Le, Xiaole is still young, when he is older, he will definitely be sensible!" ”

Hearing this, Aunt Le's eyebrows and eyes were all gone, as if she suddenly remembered something, she touched the basket behind her with her backhand, tossed for a long time, and took out a square straw box.

"Come on, Xiaoqing. This is a new compilation by the eldest mother, you take it, pretending to be jewelry or something. ”

When Qi Qing heard this, he was obviously anxious: "Auntie, how can I take your things!" ”

Aunt Le didn't care, she put the small box on the upper part of the cart, and cleared the place where the broken money was placed.

"Auntie likes Xiaoqing to be sensible, and the box is not worth a few dollars, you can use it, ah!" After speaking, as if she was afraid that Qi Qing would send things back again, Aunt Le hurriedly took Xiaole's hand, sped up her steps, and left.

Qi Qing stood in place, he didn't know what to do, the back rope of the cart was on his back, and his hands kept holding the push hand of the cart, he must not be able to get out, looking at the figure of Aunt Le and Xiaole walking away quickly, a faint smile swelled on the corner of Qi Qing's mouth.

Then I waited for the market and sent some food to Aunt Le. Thinking like this in his heart, Qi Qing didn't bother much, and began to push the cart hard.

In the bazaar, there are already a lot of people who come out of the market, some sell jewelry, some sell some home-made dim sum, of course, a large part of them are like Qi Qing, who come out to sell the vegetables they grow.

Qi Qing pushed the cart to the middle of the street near the town gate, and rushed early in the morning to find a better location to sell more vegetables.

Pull down the cart, ready to spread everything out. Qi Qing raised his eyes and looked around, only to find that Aunt Le was at the end of the street, looked down at the vegetables in his hand, picked a few bundles of fresh ones, and quietly received them below.

The sun gradually rose, the sun shone down, and fell on the ancient road town, and the market gradually became lively with this day.

"Come and see, fresh fish! Live fish! Big brother, come and see my fish! ”

"Li's soup dumplings in Gudao Town! Hot soup dumplings, a penny, not delicious and don't need money! ”

"Rock sugar gourd, rock sugar gourd, rock sugar gourd-little doll, let your father and mother buy it for you to eat-"

The lively shouting and bargaining sounds of coming and going surrounded the entire Gudao Town, and the shallow and simple wind also made Qi Qing feel warm.

She is a woman, and she can't do it as loudly as others, but she also does her best to scrub and clean her own dishes and place them neatly, but many people come to her stall.

"Girl, what about the turnips?" An elderly woman walked up to her stall and looked at it for a long time with slightly dizzy eyes, before pointing to the radish farthest away from her and asked.

"Mother-in-law, this radish is two for a penny." The corners of Qi Qing's mouth were full of smiles, but they were also full of respect.

The mother-in-law squinted, looked at it for a while, pointed to the sweet potato closest to her and asked, "What about this sweet potato?" ”

"Sweet potatoes are two pennies and three, mother-in-law."

"That'...... Then I want four turnips and three sweet potatoes......" After pausing for a while, the mother-in-law squinted her eyes as if she had thought for a long time, and then said slowly.

"Okay~" As he spoke, Qi Qing had already stretched out his hand and began to pick up vegetables, all of which were put in the vegetable basket handed over by his mother-in-law.

"Mother-in-law, you have taken it." Qi Qing moved quickly, and after a while, he picked all the dishes.

The old woman trembled her hands, handed the four coins in her hand to Qi Qing, and then took her basket.

Confirming that her mother-in-law had already taken the basket, Qi Qing let go of her hand, and did not forget to smile and say with concern: "Mother-in-law, you have taken it~Walk slowly~" (To be continued.) )
