CHAPTER XIII

Xiao Yan didn't eat anything at night because she was talking about things, there wasn't much fish in the first place, and there was only a small plate left after sending out two bowls, and she was not too cold to this kind of spicy food, so she gave it to her brother after eating a few bites.

I didn't expect Xiaohui to look small, but her stomach was so full, she ate a belly of dim sum at someone's house, not to mention, and when she came back, she ate most of the plate of fish, and she had no food at home, so she only got fish for dinner, and she didn't dare to put too much salt for fear of being too salty. I was afraid that I would eat too much spicy food and get angry, so Xiaohui drank a pot of water.

Xiaohui fell asleep after eating and drinking for a while, and snorted happily, and she walked back and forth in the space, studied the screen, saw that there was nothing new, and walked around and ate a circle of fruits, just to fill the stomach, but although the fruits are good, they are all big, and the top ones are as sweet as honey, although she eats a few although they are full of water, but the more they eat and drink, there is nothing in the wooden house, there is only a small river where there is water outside, and there are fish jumping happily, If she is asked to drink like the ancients on TV, she is really a little uncomfortable.

I was thirsty, and I wasn't in the mood to go shopping anymore, so I had to come out, but fortunately she didn't have anything else at home, and there was a well, but I wasn't afraid of being thirsty.

When I came back, I drank half a scoop of water, and fell asleep.

Sleep early, wake up early, the next day before the birds flew up the branches chirping, Xiao Yan opened her eyes, she saw the red fluttering little face like the big apple she ate last night, and she couldn't bear to wake him up when she was sleeping.

After getting up, she wanted to go to the morning market to see if she could buy some food to eat first, after all these years, she didn't know the current prices, and she didn't know what she could buy with a piece of two cents and three cents in her hand!

She remembered that the morning market was on the main street of their village, and it was usually early in winter, and there would be no one when she got up late, so she got up and washed up and quickly went out with all her current belongings, and her house was not close to the main street, and it would take about five or six minutes to walk. But the more she walked, the more strange she felt, the street was empty, not even a person took out the garbage, and when she walked to the center of the street, she couldn't see a single seller, and then she only saw a few school-looking children walking towards her with small bags on their backs.

She was in the middle of the street, her face was confused, she didn't have a watch, she didn't know what time it was, she only knew that she would come out at dawn, could it be that she came early.

The children passed by her, and they all looked at her strangely, wondering what she was doing. She pulled the nearest child and asked, "What time is it, little friend?" ”

The child was black and chubby, and was suddenly pulled by a stranger, his eyes widened in horror, and then he seemed to use all his strength, "Wow, Mom! ”

Xiao Yan was frightened and quickly let go of his hand, and the child took the opportunity to run away and keep up with the 'big army', and the children also ran faster than rabbits as if they were about to be 'abducted/sold'.

"What?" Xiao Yan doesn't seem to know the village where she grew up, maybe she has a wrong memory for too long, but she clearly remembers that there is a morning market, she doesn't give up and continues to move forward, thinking if she can meet someone and ask, the streets are lined with closed doors and courtyards, go farther, and finally see a big house that seems to be a façade with an open door, she took two steps to see, and sure enough, it was a façade.

Just as she wanted to walk in and take a look, an aunt who was coming out of the inside stopped her outside, "Hey, I haven't opened the door yet, I'll come back later." She glanced inside and saw all kinds of goods behind the high counters, household items, food, and fabrics for making clothes.

Xiao Yan patted her head and said to herself, "You are such an idiot, how can there be a seller in the eighties now, of course you are going here." This must be a state-run store, she only remembers the bustle of her village's morning market, and she doesn't remember exactly when it started, and perhaps many of her memories as a child are limited to those unpleasant things that occupy most of them.

Thinking about Feng Dong's mother's shop, it was also opened after layers of relationships, she walked back depressed, and she didn't even have the mood to go in and have a look, as far as what she could buy with this little money, it was serious to go to the river and think about getting a few fish in exchange for something.

Xiao Yan wanted to get a few dishes to try last time she fished, but she didn't think about coming again, so the simple fishing rod was thrown away, hidden in the grass, and no one found it and picked it up.

Fishing is a patient job, if she is really this age, she will definitely not be able to sit for a long time waiting for the fish to be hooked, but the soul is already a forty-year-old aunt-level person, but she feels that she doesn't have to do anything, sitting here with a fishing rod in hand, enjoying the freshness and tranquility of the morning air, is an incomparably beautiful thing.

Because of the morning, Xiao Yan's harvest this time is not bad, at least much stronger than yesterday, a total of seven or eight fish, there are many fish, she has no place to put them, a few before are fine, get a few grasses around, through the mouth of the fish to carry it, but now there are more than that, Xiao Yan chose a few larger ones to wear and carry, and the other few smaller ones were put back into the water, anyway, these small fish can't change anything, or put them back in the water.

The sun is getting warmer, she looks at the day is not early, so she plans to go home with the fish, she thinks with great interest, I don't know how much food these can be exchanged, she is not very demanding, just change two cakes to mix today.

"Whoa!" Thinking while walking, she was excited, and suddenly a column of water rushed out in front of her, and then sprinkled directly in front of her, almost splashing her with a soup chicken, she patted her chest with palpitations, and looked in the direction where the water was splashed, and saw that the girl who was not tall was holding a basin and looked at her apologetically, and kept saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't expect anyone, didn't splash it!" As she spoke, she noticed a few fish in Xiao Yan's hand, and her eyes lit up.

"It's fine." Xiao Yan waved her hand, indicating that it was okay, she splashed it anyway, and she was about to leave, when the girl stopped, "You are Xiao Yan, right?" ”

Xiao Yan tilted her head and thought about it, making sure she didn't know her, although she lived in a village, Xiao Yan knew a few neighbors and classmates, and she rarely knew anyone from other classes, she was a person who didn't like to make friends everywhere.

"You are?"

"I'm Sister Li Ling, you and Li Ling were in the same class in elementary school, did you forget? You used to come to our house to do your homework! Sister Li Ling's smile was almost behind her ears, and she had to glance at the fish in her hand from time to time.

Xiao Yan didn't finish junior high school in her previous life, she didn't read it, she didn't remember the names of her junior high school classmates, how could she remember the names of her elementary school classmates, but she still had a little impression of this Li Ling, she remembered that she didn't read it after finishing elementary school, they don't pay much attention to education in the countryside here, children can go to school if they are willing to go to school, and they can't go to school if they don't want to.

She remembered that there was always one less in their class, and one less in their class, and her impression of Li Ling was not because she dropped out of school early, but because she later went out to work, married a rich man, and came back to the province to sit in a big car, and many villagers were very envious of her at that time for having such an opportunity.

"Oh, big sister! I didn't think about it for a while, are you cooking? Xiao Yan pretended to realize that in fact, she had already noticed that the other party should be dating her for the fish in her hand.

Sure enough, without saying a word, Sister Li Ling got straight to the point and said, "Well, but I don't know what to eat every day, I see that the fish in your hand is quite fresh, where did you get it!" ”

When Tong Guò found out this morning that there was no morning market here, she knew that although the economy was now open, the supplies were still relatively scarce in their place, and there was no one to sell anything, so it was not new for the other party to take a fancy to her fish.

"Oh, I caught it in the river."

"You're really capable," a look of envy gave him a look, "can't you sell it?" ”

Xiao Yan didn't expect the other party to be so direct, but she originally wanted to change some food, and immediately proposed to change some food, the other party's eyes were higher when she heard it, and she said you wait, so she went into the house and came out with a small pot of steamed buns, the steamed buns were white and fat, half a catty, Xiao Yan's eyes were straight, she hadn't seen such a big steamed bun for a long time, she rarely cooked by herself outside, and the steamed buns she bought were not as big as a palm, and they were made of yeast, which were flattened when pinched, and there were not many noodles at all, how could there be a home-steamed one.

"Two big steamed buns, how about a fish for you?"

"No, three steamed buns." Xiao Yan has four fish in his hand, although they are big, but they are only bigger than the small fish yesterday, far from being very big, but they are not as expensive as they are scarce.

Sister Li Ling hesitated for a while, then gritted her teeth, "Okay, change two." She counted the bowl and counted one short, so she went into the house and got another, "How do you take it?" ”

Xiao Yan saw that she couldn't take six steamed buns, and she didn't have any convenient bags, so she licked her face and said, "Sister, you borrow me this small basin for use, and I'll go back and send the basin back to you." ”

The eldest sister thought that she lived in a village and knew each other, so she agreed, and the deal was only concluded from then on.

Xiao Yan was holding the remaining two fish in one hand and a pot of steamed buns in the other, and she was so happy.

Patronizing and happy, before she arrived at the door, she heard a cry, the sound came from the back room, she sighed in her heart, did the little brother wake up and see that he couldn't see himself crying, she quickly pushed the door open, carried something and rushed in.

"Sister-sister-woo."

When I entered the house, I heard Xiaohui's loud cry.

At this time, Xiaohui was sitting on the ground, crying breathlessly, Xiao Yan put down the things, picked him up, and asked him what was wrong, but he couldn't say why.
