Since it is not a market today, there are few people and stalls in the town, only a few local vendors in the town are selling Chinese cabbage and turnips. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Because almost all the cabbage in the field froze to death at this time, the cabbage is very expensive now, twice as expensive as usual.
This is also the third time Yuzhu has come to town, and when she first came back, she was still very young, and it was Dacai and Yuye who brought her here, and she was just able to walk at that time. The second time was when Mr. Xiaoshan was sick half a month ago. She still looked so excited, jumping and jumping around and looking around for vendors. Zishan and Tian Jie each picked a cabbage and a few good-looking white radish, they wanted to buy something else, but there seemed to be nothing else to choose from, only a piece of old pumpkin that was picked by others, and they didn't seem to be moved by its ugly appearance. They are still walking forward, hoping to buy more things, at least tomorrow for a few people's food!
Yuzhu has been jumping in front, and from time to time she runs back to hold the hand of the purple shirt, she is so happy.
After walking for a long time, we reached the end of the town, and there was no more vendor selling anything in front of me, only one stall selling pork was still open, and the sign said 'Lao Wang Butcher's Shop'. Lao Wang is also in a hurry to sell these pieces of pork, because this is the leftover from yesterday's market, and if it can't be sold today, it can only be fed to the dogs at night.
There is a woman sitting behind the board, holding a child in her arms, biting the **** and drinking milk! The child's appearance of drinking milk is very cute, much like the virtue of the puppy when he was born, desperately sucking. Wang was settling accounts in the small house in the back, and Wang's mother was cleaning up in the hut, as if it was about to close.
Yuzhu jumped up and took the hand of the purple shirt again, and said happily: "Teacher Xiaoshan, there is pork in front." Zi Shirt and Tian Jie were also very happy to hear it, at least there will be fresh meat tomorrow, they smiled, ready to buy a quick pork, thinking that if they were lucky, they might keep pork ribs or pig's feet for them! Yuzhu let go of the purple shirt's hand and ran forward again.
When Zi Shirt and Tian Jie approached, they saw Yuzhu suddenly standing two meters away from the front of the board. The woman was intently breastfeeding her child, not realizing the little girl in front of her, who was not much taller than the board. Tian Jie was even more excited when she saw a pig's foot lying on the side of the board, and almost rushed directly to the board, but did not notice the sudden abnormality of Yuzhu.
Purple Shirt squatted and hugged Yuzhu's small shoulders, and found that Yuzhu was crying, and the tears had already flowed into her mouth, but she didn't make a sound.
"What's wrong? It's not a twisted foot, is it? ”
Yuzhu didn't make a sound, just sobbed silently, and stood motionless and sobbed.
When Zi Shan raised her head and saw the woman in front of her who was beckoning Tian Jie to buy pig's feet, she understood everything, so she put her arm around Zi Shan's shoulders and helped her wipe the tears that had not dried from the corners of her eyes.
Tian Jie was still standing on the board, thinking about whether to buy the whole pig's feet. After a while, Yuzhu couldn't accept the reality in front of her, and ran behind her with the hand of her purple shirt, like a wild horse on the loose, without the slightest restraint. She cried, weeping bitterly and running wildly.
When Tian Jie turned around after buying pig's feet, he found that the purple shirt and Yuzhu were already fifty meters away, and the purple shirt was holding the jade bead, and the jade bead stood like that, crying loudly. The world at this time seems to be her alone, maybe she is in another world at this time, and no one can stop this cry from life.
"Mom! Mom"
Yuzhu finally cried out her anger to the world, and she cried this, resentful. It's like you're dreaming, but it's not a dream, it's a beautiful dream, but it's much scary than a dream. This is the reality, the reality that Yuzhu has not been ready to accept for two years, after all, she is too young, an eight-year-old child.
This roar startled Tian Jie, who was carrying a pig's foot, and also startled the poor woman of Yuzhu's mother. She glanced at Yuzhu even more than once, but finally entered the house and handed over the extra income to the vulgar pig dealer. They laughed, smiling at this extra income.
On the way back, Yuzhu was still crying, silent, she was tired enough. The purple shirt kept comforting her, and Tian Jie followed behind, and she seemed even more helpless.
The purple shirt was around her shoulder, she was wearing the cotton clothes that Yuye bought for her, which was rotten, but she had been wearing it for ten days, and she refused to change it and had no clothes for her to change. "Is it okay for my sister to buy you a dress in the big city for the Chinese New Year?"
"Hmm!"
"Do you want to go to the big city with your sister for the New Year? My sister takes you on a roller coaster ride and takes you to eat a lot of delicious food. ”
"Hmm!"
"Take grandma over again, let's celebrate the New Year together, okay?"
"Hmm!"
"Let's know about today's events, don't tell grandma, okay?" "Hmm!" "Then let's pull the hook and keep this secret together."
Zi Shan cried and hugged Yuzhu's shoulder, at this time she was the same as Yuzhu, looking so helpless. Like a kitten that has lost its mother, it is constantly wandering, crying, and praying in the sunset, on the streets of the city, in the countryside, and in the ruins and wilderness.
After returning home, Grandma Du sat on the threshold alone, and the hoe stood cleanly next to her, emitting a bright blade light. No one knows what grandma was doing in the field just now, and now they don't have the heart to know what grandma has done. Yuzhu fell headlong into her grandmother's arms and cried bitterly, almost knocking her grandmother down.
"How's that going? Hey, girl! What are you crying about! Grandma asked eagerly, and she almost cried with Yuzhu.
The purple shirt stood by the railing, looking at the sunset, looking at the children on the opposite side laughing and playing together, and never dared to look directly into the eyes of his grandmother.
Tian Jie put down the things in her hand, pretended to smile and said to her grandmother, "Hehe! Grandmother. All right! When I came back just now, I ran too fast and fell, and Yuzhu was anxious to complain to you! It's all right! Grandma hugged Yuzhu, kissed Yuzhu's forehead, put her face to her face, and said to Yuzhu kindly: "I didn't cry when I fell before, are you coquettish in front of the two teachers!" Hey! It's all right! The girls are eight years old! ”
The creek kept flowing eastward, against the direction of the setting sun, and was not bound by the cold of winter, but went with its nature. But the last leaf finally withered, unable to endure the frost and fog of winter, and chose to take advantage of the beautiful winter season of sunset to wither, leaving no fragrance in the world.
