CHAPTER IX

Compared with ten years ago, the market is much cleaner now, but no matter how clean it is, it can't escape the strange smell of vegetables, fruits, meat, and spices mixed in the air, Song Jia sighed, the scene of black water flowing all over the ground gave him too much stimulation, making him forget that no matter how clean the market is, the taste is not very good.

The old man likes to go to one house to buy things, and Song Jia is dragging his feet behind with a vegetable basket, his face wrinkled like orange peel.

Grandma saw it and scolded with a smile: "I don't have any patience at all, okay, you can put the vegetables you bought and put them at Aunt Zhang, who sells fruits, go shopping by yourself, and when you are tired of shopping, you will go to Aunt Zhang's place and wait for grandma." ā€

Song Jia cheered and ran away without a trace.

Aunt Zhang, who sells fruits, has known her since she was very young, and she is an old acquaintance with Song Jia's grandmother. She has been selling fruits in the market for more than ten years, and she is enthusiastic and hearty, and Song Jia's grandmother will buy a few catties at her stall every time she comes to the market.

"Jiajia!" Aunt Zhang was very happy when she saw Song Jia, she beckoned Song Jia to come and sit down, and asked him with a smile, "Have you come back for a long time?" ā€

"A few days ago." Song Jia greeted Aunt Zhang with a smile: "Zhang Xianxian, I haven't seen you for a long time." ā€

"Oh, you're so old, you're going to become an adult, taller than you." Aunt Zhang forced an orange into his hand, "Eat oranges, and all the other fruits here have to be washed, so I have to ask Jiajia to eat oranges." ā€

Song Jia took it generously and thanked him with a smile: "Thank you, Auntie." ā€

"You doll, thank you for what?" After Aunt Zhang asked Song Jia to bring things to the stall, she saw Song Jia looking idle and smiled: "There are nails on the bench?" I just can't sit still. Forget it, forget it, Jiajia, you can go shopping by yourself, and I'll be back in a while. ā€

Song Jia grimaced and ran away.

Nearly the end of the year, the market is naturally rich, Song Jia is full of interest, he thinks that after staying for a long time, the smell is nothing. After a few laps, I turned to the vegetable section. After a few glances, he planned to go to the fresh fish area next door to see crabs and prawns, but he saw an extremely familiar figure in the corner of his eyes.

He rubbed his eyes and looked at it again in disbelief. And then I just squeezed through the crowd.

"How do you sell this cabbage?"

"Octagonal."

"Why is it so expensive, it's cheaper."

"It's not expensive, everyone else sells nine corners for a piece, and I only have eight anise here."

"If you want it, weigh two catties."

Song Jia stood aside and watched, the man had a courteous smiling face, and his movements in his hands were not disorderly, weighing vegetables, looking for money, and dealing with new guests in his busy time. A handful of loose gross tickets were revealed in a worn waist bag.

"How do you sell Chinese cabbage?"

"Octagonal ......" Chen Chuan was stunned as soon as he raised his head. The usual smile on his face froze at the corners of his mouth.

"Why are you......" he whispered.

Song Jia squeezed behind his vegetable burden, there were a lot of people, and the crowd collided and the two of them squeezed so that there was not even a slit in the middle.

"My grandmother's house is here, and I'm coming back for the New Year." Song Jia grabbed his hair, and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed - maybe it was just because he found another side that his classmates didn't want to be noticed. He and Chen Chuan were so close that in such a noisy market, they only needed to whisper.

Chen Chuan lowered his eyes, "It's going to be the New Year, and the price of the dishes is very good." Suddenly, he said a word to the horse.

"You're amazing." Song Jia grabbed Chen Chuan's shoulder and squeezed it hard, "It's really powerful." ā€

"How do you sell white bags?" Someone came to ask again.

"One piece two!" Song Jia let go of Chen Chuan's hand and said loudly. He smiled with crooked eyebrows, "Look so fresh, and with water!" ā€

Chen Chuan was taken aback. That's four cents more expensive than he was before. It's also two cents more expensive than the greengrocer next to him.

Cold sweat broke out in his palms.

"It's expensive, it's cheaper."

"As soon as ......" Chen Chuan wanted to speak, Song Jia's feet stepped on.

"You go and ask, where is there such a cheap one," Song Jia smiled and helped the guests load vegetables into the wooden scale in Chen Chuan's hand, "We are all home-grown vegetables, all of them are farmhouse fertilizer, and they are very fresh!" ā€

"You baby is really good at talking." The guest was amused by Song Jia, and no longer cared about the price of the dish, "Give me a three-pound scale." ā€

"I want it!" Song Jia said happily. He moved quickly, Chen Chuan weighed the weight, he had already taken the plastic bag on his side, and when he saw that the food was weighed, he loaded it and handed it to the guest in a few clicks, and Chen Chuan handed it out to find the money.

I can't tell that I've never done anything like this before.

Everyone wants to be happy during the New Year, and they don't want to worry about a dime or two. Two clean teenagers, one handsome and one delicate, with a sincere and thoughtful smile, which is pleasing to the eye and comfortable, and there are more people who buy vegetables with them unconsciously.

"What are you doing today?" Chen Chuan asked him in the interval, the vegetables in the burden were almost sold. They had time to crouch down and catch their breath. Chen Chuan sorted out the few vegetables left in his burden, and then remembered that he had forgotten to ask Song Jia why he was here.

Judging from his understanding of Song Jia, he didn't think that this person might have come to buy vegetables.

"Yikes!" Song Jia suddenly stood up with a bitter face: "I'm here with my grandmother!" She's definitely waiting for me! Saying that, he was about to run out in a panic.

"Wait, wait!" Chen Chuan hurriedly grabbed him, stood up and pulled his pockets and threw the remaining vegetables into it, "Mentioned." ā€

His eyes looked in other directions, and the bright red crept from his face to his neck, "Thank you." ā€

Song Jia originally wanted to say that he didn't want it, and originally wanted to say that this was the dish you were going to sell. As a result, he couldn't say anything, just smirked and took it, he thought about it for a long time, and finally said "oh".

Then he turned around and ran, and after a while, he couldn't see anyone.

Chen Chuan watched Song Jia's back disappear, he lowered his head and looked at the empty vegetable picks, and slowly smiled.

Grandma waited at Aunt Zhang's fruit stall for a long time, but the old man was not in a hurry, and put the purchased vegetables behind the stall, and stood and chatted with acquaintances. The fruit stall is near the gate, if Song Jia wants to go out of the market, she will definitely pass by here, she already knows that Song Jia is not out, then it must be in the market.

"Grandma." Song Jia said hello and greeted Aunt Zhang: "Zhang Xianxian." ā€

"Where did you go?" After waiting for a long time, my grandmother didn't blame him, but I felt strange when I saw him carrying a bag of cabbage: "You still buy vegetables?" ā€

"No," Song Jiagang wanted to say that it was given by his classmates, but he changed his words in the middle of speaking: "Oh, I want to eat sweet and sour cabbage, grandma, you didn't buy it." ā€

Grandma didn't think about it so much, and after listening to Song Jia's words, she smiled and said, "Okay, I'll make it for you at night." ā€

Song Jia followed her grandmother home, and when she got on the bus, she remembered that he had forgotten to ask Chen Chuan why he was selling vegetables here.

"Triangle ......," he pronounced unconsciously.

Grandma heard him and asked, "Do you want to go to the triangle?" ā€

"It's not." He hurriedly denied it, thought about it and asked, "Does the triangle belong here?" ā€

"yes."

"I heard someone say today that they are selling vegetables from Triangle." Song Jia said cautiously.

"Yes," Grandma pulled her hair, "the price starts here." It's just that it takes hours to walk, and it's hard work. ā€

Song Jia asked puzzledly: "Why don't you take the car?" ā€

Grandma patted her grandson's head lovingly: "The people who come from the triangle to sell vegetables are farmers, who is willing to spend money to take a car?" Everyone gets up at three or four o'clock and walks to the vegetable market. The old man looked at Song Jia with an incredible expression, and pursed his lips and laughed: "You, you haven't suffered since you were a child, probably you can't imagine it." ā€

Later, Song Jia asked Chen Chuan if it was very hard to sell vegetables, and Chen Chuan said that he didn't feel hard, and he had been used to running with his father since he was a child.

It was a life that Song Jia, who grew up in the city, could never understand and imagine.

On the way home, Song Jia was depressed, and her grandmother asked for a long time before she said she was tired. The old man felt sorry for the child, and hurriedly said that Song Jia would not have to follow him in the future. Who knew that Song Jia immediately said: "I still have to come." ā€

"Jiajia, aren't you tired?"

"Oh......" Song Jia was speechless, but he said forcefully: "I'm bored at home." ā€

Grandma was glad to have someone to accompany her to the market, "Yes." "Laughing makes the corners of my eyes wrinkle more.

Early the next morning, Song Jia urged her grandmother to go to the market: "The food in the morning is fresh, and it can be used as exercise." He said in a heartfelt voice.

"Jiajia, when are you so diligent?" The second brother who just arrived home last night teased him.

"You used to be a lazy worm, but now you're not diligent." Song Jia glared at the second brother.

The second brother was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Jiajia, your mouth is really scary." After speaking, he pinched Song Jia's nose affectionately.

Song Jia took her grandmother out and hurriedly got on the bus. The anxious appearance made my grandmother laugh: "Jiajia, where are you buying vegetables, people who don't know still think that you are in a hurry to reincarnate." ā€

Song Jia's face flushed, and he finally sat in his seat.

When he arrived at the vegetable market, he patiently accompanied his grandmother to see a few stalls, and he couldn't help it.

"Grandma, I'm going to see it myself." Song Jia and her grandmother are coquettish.

Song Jia's grandmother had long known that this would be the result, she waved her hand, "and said to accompany her grandmother to buy vegetables," the old man pretended to be angry, "Go and go, go and play by yourself." ā€

Song Jia was overjoyed, and did not forget to put on a high hat for his grandmother: "Grandma is the best." Then he ran away.

There were a lot of people in the morning market, Song Jia squeezed in the crowd for a long time, and forgot yesterday's place in the middle, and it took a lot of effort to find Chen Chuan.

"Chen Chuan!" He watched the guests buy the vegetables and leave, and ran over to greet Chen Chuan: "Are you here again?" ā€

"I'm coming before the New Year." Chen Chuan straightened up and looked at Song Jia a little strangely: "Why are you here again?" ā€

"Can't I come?" Song Jia said confidently, and then stepped to Chen Chuan's side, "You stand on the side." ā€

Chen Chuan gave up his place to Song Jia in a daze, and then watched Song Jia start shouting.

"Oh, no!" He was a little anxious, "Don't tell me that your family lives in a vegetable market." ā€

"Oh, my grandmother told me to accompany her to buy groceries, and I came to play with you when I was bored." Song Jia looked impatient, "Grandma said that I was okay anyway, and I had to come to buy vegetables with her in the future." ā€

Song Jia's grandmother sneezed: "One thought, two scolding, three colds, which one is talking about me?" ā€
