Chapter 123: The Great Collection of the Wax Moon (Asking for Flowers)
In the next few days, several more families killed pigs, and Zhang Taiping was called over to eat a few more meals. Time squeaked in the increasingly cheerful atmosphere of the people, and it was the twentieth day of the lunar month. But it's time to clean up. Sweep away the dust and gloom of the old year before the year, and welcome the new year with a new look and new atmosphere.
The five adults worked together to clean the house. The places that should be refreshed are refreshed, the old things that should be thrown away are thrown away, and the layout of the house is replanned. Busy for most of the day, the house has changed a lot, a new look, the refreshed walls reflect the brightness of the room, and the mood is also bright, neat things, brand new appliances, and the atmosphere of the New Year is strong.
At dinner in the evening, Zhang Taiping said: "I'm going to go to Daji tomorrow to buy some New Year's goods, who is interested in going?" β
In fact, Zhang Taiping asked a little redundant, as long as a woman likes to do this thing, even the little girl always thinks about going to the market after a big set, and asks her father all day long when it's time to go to the set.
Fan Ming is no exception, she likes to participate in this kind of lively thing the most. As soon as Zhang Taiping's words fell, she raised her hand like a little girl and shouted: "I'll go, I'll go, is it the big set in the town?" β
Cai Yazhi was not at ease when she saw that everyone had gone to the house and no one took care of her, she had bought so many new electrical appliances, and there were many people with red eyes, what if no one in the family was stolen? Then he shook his head and signaled: You go, I won't go, and I have to leave someone at home.
Cai Xiaomei hadn't spoken yet, Fan Ming looked at Zhang Taiping and then at Cai Yazhi and said, "Then it's better for Sister Cai to go, I'll stay at home." β
Zhang Taiping knocked on the chopsticks and said: "Let's go, there is no one left at home, just leave Ah Huang and the lion at home, with the two of them here, no one can enter this house." Ah Huang and the lion are not vegetarians. β
The lion is still a little young and may be inexperienced, but Zhang Taiping is still very relieved of Ah Huang, after this less than half a year of growth again, not only has the lattice undergone earth-shaking changes, people can feel that their legs are weak at a glance, and their brains are smarter than before, and it is more than enough to guard their homes. What's more, there is a sentry on the roof, and the claws are not papier-mΓ’chΓ©, if you are caught with a claw, you will be crippled if you don't die. Therefore, Zhang Taiping is very relieved about the family, and it is good that it is not counted, otherwise he can only bear the terrible consequences himself.
Although Cai Yazhi is still not at ease, but Zhang Taiping said so, she will no longer object, in her life creed, it is definitely a husband's life first, basically as long as it is something that Zhang Taiping decides, as long as it is not particularly hurtful and harmful, she will not object anymore no matter whether it is right or wrong.
Early the next morning, everyone got up early, had breakfast, and set off in the car.
Zhang Taiping rode over on a motorcycle today, and Fan Ming wanted to sit in the back seat excitedly, but he was pulled by Xing Rushui before he reacted and sat in the car. Cai Xiaomei also sat in the Audi and wanted to pull the little girl in, but the little girl didn't go in alive or dead, and wanted to take her father's motorcycle. In the end, Cai Yazhi sat in the back seat and sandwiched the little girl between herself and Zhang Taiping's body.
Today, there are a lot of people in the village who go to the market, and a few people go directly to Wang Gui's car, the car is not big, and there are not many people, most of them are walking paths, and Fengyukou Village takes the car to the town from where. Wang Peng did not go with Zhang Taiping this time, but walked with several other young men in the village.
The snow is not cold, the snow is cold, there is still some snow on both sides of the road that has not melted clean, and the river is also frozen with a layer of ice flowers, and it is dry and cold in the early morning. If this kind of weather had been left in previous years, Cai Yazhi's hands would have frozen and rotted long ago, and there would be many cracks on her hands, which looked very seeping, and the pain was abnormal when she saw the water, and this was a year of freezing and rotting, and it would freeze again every year at this time. But what makes Cai Yazhi strange is that the past few years have been colder than in previous years, and at this time, her hands have not frozen, and they are still as white as onions.
Zhang Taiping did not wear a helmet, and wore sunglasses given by Cai Xiaomei. The air is too cold, the car is not fast, otherwise the cold and biting wind Cai Yazhi and her wife can't stand it, and there are really a lot of people in the villages inside and outside the road to catch the market.
Cai Yazhi learned from Yaya to put her hand into Zhang Taiping's pocket and put her arm around his waist, and put her head on his back. Cai Yazhi stuck to Zhang Taiping's back, there is no safer and warmer moment than this moment, Cai Yazhi only hopes that she can hold Zhang Taiping's waist and stick to his back forever.
Along the way, Zhang Tianping's domineering style attracted a lot of attention and amazement, followed by an Audi, all guessing where this is sacred.
There is a small train station in Yinzhen, and it is the busiest time of the year, and the large market on Yinzhen Cross extends to a few streets next to it. From afar, you can see people gathering from all directions. The car can't be driven, you have to take a detour a few miles away, someone is smart, set up a parking lot in front of their house a mile away, and charge for storing the car. Zhang Taiping and the others got out of the car early and deposited the car here, walking to Daji with the flow of people.
The last four or five big gatherings of the year are always crowded with people, and it is only a little past nine o'clock in the morning, and the streets are no longer moving, so the people can only move slowly. It's inconvenient to have too many people, but people in the countryside like to visit this kind of big market the most, lively! Although they all squeezed people into meat buns, everyone still had a cheerful smile on their faces, which is not a common scene, and it is only a few times a year.
The largest number of people in the crowd are the rural people from nearby villages who come to buy New Year's goods, and there may be no shortage of things to buy, all of them have snakeskin bags rolled in their hands, and Zhang Taiping's hands are no exception. Cai Yazhi carried a red cotton bag, Fan Ming carried a small bag of oxygen on her shoulder, Xing Rushui and Cai Xiaomei were empty, and they didn't bring anything.
Zhang Taiping is too tall, standing in the crowd is a flock of chickens, taller than the crowd, looking at it is a black head. Yaya sat on Zhang Taiping's neck and looked into the distance.
"That's a lot of people." The little girl sat on Zhang Taiping's neck and looked left and right with great interest.
Fan Ming is also as excited as Yaya, she has never seen so many people before, but now she can be in the middle of it, of course she is excited. Before going out, Xing Rushui repeatedly told her not to stay away from Zhang Taiping, so she has been following Zhang Taiping's pace closely.
Wherever Zhang Taiping passed, people were all overwhelmed by his momentum, and they would automatically fly away to a road, so although there were many people, Zhang Taiping and his party did not have much difficulty walking.
Most of the things sold in the last few episodes are some New Year's goods, with vegetables and clothes being the most. Vegetables are a must for the New Year, all year round, even people who are usually reluctant to buy some vegetables will buy some vegetables back, so the vegetable market is the most people, no matter what the dish, each stall is surrounded by three layers of three layers and three layers outside, only one person can buy another person can insert the foot. The price of vegetables is also growing rapidly, one price a day, mushrooms have risen to eight yuan a catty, and the big meat is also increasing by one dollar per episode and is still being sold out quickly. There is also an endless stream of people in the shops and shelves outside, and adults don't care about the year of the year, but they always buy a new dress or two for their children.
Zhang Taiping They went around the vegetable market and basically bought the vegetables they needed, and the big meat was not cut again, but they had already bought a lot in the village, and Zhang Taiping cut a few catties of beef and a few hairtails.
went to buy a few new clothes for Yaya, and the others bought them again, Cai Yazhi signaled that she had already bought several clothes this year, and she didn't need it, and the other three might not like the style here, so Zhang Taiping didn't force it.
Zhang Taiping's clothes cannot be bought in these stores, so they can only be made in tailor shops. The female shopkeeper in the store carefully measured Zhang Taiping's body and understood the style he needed.
After the incident, Zhang Taiping asked, "When can I come to pick it up?" β
"It's going to take four days."
Zhang Taiping said: "It's a little too long, let's do it earlier." β
The female shopkeeper looked at Zhang Taiping and said embarrassedly: "There are still many items in the front row, I will try to give you two days in advance before you can pick them up." β
Zhang Taiping thought about it, there were indeed many people who made clothes a year ago, and it was already good to be able to make clothes two days in advance, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go in two days." β
After paying the deposit and taking a note written by the female shopkeeper, everyone went out into the street again. Near noon, there were more people than when they first came in the morning, and they were all crowded together, and they could only move forward by squeezing through with great effort.
I have to buy some small and bits of things, just on the side street, there are a lot of people in Sister Pian, but it is much better than the main street. All the people on this street are peanuts, melon seeds, candy, and fruits.
Even some small tricks that are usually rarely seen have come out. There are those who use small traps to trap things, and there are also those who draw words on the spot with flowers and birds. There are also jade pendants with peace charms engraved on them. There are no longer a few people who sell landscape painting paper and couplet door beards. Even the gentleman who measured the word and told the fortune came out, Fan Ming still wanted to go up to try to see if it was accurate, but was pulled by Xing Rushui, these people live like a fine yes, it is not easy to fool you as a little girl, you can fool so much that you can't wait to put them as living immortals and worship them at home.
