Chapter 003: Visiting the Bazaar

Regarding Gu Meimei's upbringing, Mo Xiaohe was deeply entangled in this. In her heart, she really hopes that Xiao Baozi can become a lady with a temperament, marry when she is old in the future, find a husband who can love her, not worry about silver at home, and give a lot of dowry to accompany her, so that Gu Meimei has no worries about food and clothing.

But if you want to cultivate, you have to ask your grandmother from an early age, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, all of which are compulsory, and use this way to bind your daughter's life, is this a good job?

Gu Meimei has been very sensible since she was a child, except for watching Erzhuang practice martial arts, she has no other hobbies at all, and she always stares at the woodcutter in the firewood room, which makes Mo Xiaohe break out in a cold sweat several times, afraid that she will hurt herself.

A little older, Meimei no longer likes to play with girls, and runs crazy with Erzhuang all day long, the brother and sister have a good relationship, she is happy to see it, but there is no little bit of the delicate appearance that a daughter's family should have, what can I do?

It is said that three years old looks old, Mo Xiaohe is a little suspicious that Gu Meimei has hidden violent attributes.

"Husband, the child is still young, or let her relax for a few years, and talk about it later."

Mo Xiaohe couldn't bear it, this little girl is more and more like Gu Zheng, Erzhuang looks like herself, she is young, she has a heart, and she has more eyes, and she doesn't know who she is.

The two buns are not too worry-free, Mo Xiaohe is worried about the next generation, the genetics are too strong!

"It's fine."

Gu Zheng was still a little disappointed that Meimei was not the kind of white and fat delicate bun he thought, but he found that Gu Meimei had excellent roots and bones, and she was completely a good seedling for martial arts.

In the future, which man you will fall in love with, you will directly use the robbery and conquer by force, and the fist is the last word.

"Is there a father who educates his daughter like this?"

Mo Xiaohe couldn't cry or laugh, and wanted to pick and choose. Neither husband nor wife wants to ask for buns anymore, mainly because these two are already difficult to do.

"My daughter is my own, and others are not in my consideration."

Gu Zheng is very protective, he thinks, with a father like him, how can he not let his daughter be bullied, and there is also Erzhuang, a brother, to support her. He has to be strict with Erzhuang, otherwise he will lose the fight in the future, which will make him very faceless.

Xiucai met Bing, he couldn't explain it clearly, Mo Xiaohe felt quite powerless, every time he wanted to theorize a few words, he would remember what his husband said, home is not a place to be reasonable, and he found her sensitive point, and when he said this topic, he was tickled, hugged, and thrown directly on the bed to perform a difficult action movie, and she found that Gu Zheng was becoming more and more domineering.

The couple has been married for seven years, and the legendary seven-year itch has not yet come, the two are intimate, Mo Xiaohe will still drool over her husband's abdominal muscles and mermaid line, and she can't touch it enough. It's another night, Mo Xiaohe is in good spirits, the years have treated her well, she has been the mother of two babies, she still has a girl-like face and figure, bright and elegant, walking to the middle of the crowd, it will immediately attract everyone's attention.

In winter, the small village at the foot of the mountain is covered with snow, and the chimneys above the roofs of every house are steaming gray, staining the snow above the roofs to look dirty.

Thick icicles under the eaves, children wearing thick jackets, playing sleds in the snow, laughter everywhere, embellished the quiet village, embellished with color and vitality.

"You go play with Erzhuzi, and wait for me and your father to come back and pick you up." Erzhuzi is Erzhuang's little friend, he looks a little stupid, and he is as honest as his father. Until now, the Erzhuzi family still doesn't know their identity, so they can get along naturally and will not be afraid.

The children's friendship is very simple, Mo Xiaohe doesn't want it to be mixed with some forces, and the Erzhuzi family likes Erzhuang and Meimei very much, Mo Xiaohe is very relieved to let them play together. "Dad, mother, you go to the market, don't forget to bring me and my sister sugar gourds, the biggest one."

Gu Erzhuang is a natural foodie, like Mo Xiaohe, he is irresistible to food, but the strange thing is that Xiaowa only loves meat, in addition, it is sugar gourd, and he doesn't look at other small snacks. If it weren't for the fact that the people in the village had lived for generations and knew the roots, she was really afraid of a kidnapper and tricked Er Zhuang away with a string of sugar gourds, but her son shouldn't be so stupid.

"Meimei, do you have anything you want?"

Mo Xiaohe turned his head, rubbed his hands hot, covered Gu Meimei's red face, and then kissed it. Her daughter doesn't like to talk, but she doesn't exclude family closeness, and her little eyes are shining. The child has privileges, it should be a little demanding, and it's okay to be willful, she can afford it anyway.

"Mother, I want a cloth tiger."

Gu Meimei lowered her head and thought about it seriously, she saw that the tiger with a big cloth sewn by Erzhuzi was very good-looking, she could sleep with her arms, and she could also be used as a pillow.

"Okay, my mother gives you two, how do you divide it?"

Mo Xiaohe touched Gu Meimei's hair, and she was kind and seductive.

"Give one to my brother." Gu Meimei quickly understood, and her mother said that their family was the closest person, and they should share any good things, but her brother didn't seem to like it very much, so she didn't mention the two.

When it was still hot, she caught two green worms on the grape trellis in the backyard and gave one to her brother, and he was not happy. "Good."

Mo Xiaohe didn't know the mental activities of his daughter, and happily went out of the village with her husband Gu Zheng.

In the 11th month of the lunar calendar, it is the busiest time in Licheng, and after a few days, there will be fewer and fewer people on the streets.

Merchants who come to the city to do business, are ready to set off on the road, back to their hometown for the New Year, because of the heavy snow in the north, the road has to be well prepared in advance, and so on the twelfth lunar month, the snow is deep, the streets are difficult to travel, trapped on the road, can not go back.

After the snow, the market is overcrowded, the winter in the city is long, there is half a year for half a year, the people are in the house cat winter, nothing to do, take advantage of the time, will also brave the cold to go out for a walk.

In a year, the things in the eleventh month of the lunar calendar are the cheapest, there are two months before the New Year, the merchants are in a hurry to return, the backlog of goods, can not take away have to be dealt with cheaply, if there is that there will be a counteroffer, can spend a low price, find good things.

Gu Meimei's favorite cloth tiger, the process is complicated, there are stuffed with cotton, some stuffed with buckwheat husk, these are not difficult for the ingenious woman, the cloth is sewn, the stitches are fine, handmade, no worse than the modern sewing machine.

Mo Xiaohe asked for three at once, and the hawker saw that she was happy, and he didn't bargain, so he took the initiative to send a red tiger bag, and carried it out on his back during the New Year's Festival, decorated with dried fruits and snacks to give away, and visited relatives and friends, which was a little more festive.

"Husband, you think about it, when we go back, we have to buy a few strings of sugar gourds for Erzhuang."

It's rare for Erzhuang to mention it, Mo Xiaohe kept it in mind, she was afraid that she would meet something else and distract herself, so she couldn't meet her son's requirements, seeing his disappointed little eyes, Mo Xiaohe would be very unbearable, and felt that she had made a mistake. "Okay, let's buy some more hawthorn and go back."

It's not convenient to buy something on the mountain, in case Er Zhuang wants to eat, he has to wait for several days, it's better to buy hawthorn at home, and it's not troublesome to make rock sugar gourds, Gu Zheng decided to take this as a reward for Er Zhuang to practice martial arts. The bazaar is mostly for food and cold items, fur is the most popular, small to cheap rabbit skin, a little more expensive mink, no matter how poor the family, can also ensure that everyone has a fur, after all, cotton jackets are not resistant to the wind.

More than 20 years ago, the emperor and queen personally went out to fight and lived in Licheng for a while. The congenital physical fitness of the Dayue soldiers was weak, and they were not enough to suffer a lot from the enemy compared with the barbarians who grew up in harsh conditions and all the people were soldiers.

Mo Yan came up with an idea to collect duck down in the Dayue range and make it into a down jacket and eiderdown quilt, which was worn lightly, but it was warmer than cotton wool, and his body was light, and his reaction was much more flexible.

Over the years, duck down has become an indispensable thing for the people of Licheng to keep warm, and the price of ducks has risen to twice that of hens.

The weather is cold, the hen does not like to lay eggs, there are those who are exquisite, specially set aside a room, maintain the temperature, so that the hen can lay a few more eggs, beat the tooth sacrifice, and eggs have become a hot thing in the market.

The people's meals are even more single, radish, cabbage, potatoes, and sauerkraut, some summer stored dried vegetables, Mo Xiaohe has been here for a few years, and has not yet gotten used to it, she carved out a vacant land in the backyard of the city lord's mansion, built a vegetable greenhouse, because she did not have any experience, the first two years were not very successful, she specially invited an experienced old farmer in the countryside, summed up the experience in failure, a few days ago it is said that the eggplant has hung fruit, that is, the growth cycle is relatively long, if successful, she is ready to promote it in the rich family first, and then slowly spread, This is a process, and it will not be achieved overnight, so that the people of Licheng can eat cheap green vegetables in winter, and there is a long way to go.
