The relatives who came today and the two aunts of the eldest cousin also came with their children. The eldest cousin Yi Fengjiao went to work and was not at home, Tian Miaomiao fell asleep as soon as she entered the door. Tian Qingqing, another relative, didn't know her, and when she saw that there was nothing to do with her, she told her mother Hao Lanxin that she was going to the city to have fun.
The so-called city, refers to the old Wuyou county seat in the past, it is said that the radius is two square kilometers, there are city walls on all sides, there is a moat outside the city wall, the city gate is built in the east, west, north and south, and a wooden bridge is built on the moat outside the city gate for vehicles and pedestrians to enter and exit the county.
Now the city wall has been built into a ring road, the bridge is also called the old bridgehead, and the east, west and south passes (no north pass) have been integrated with the county seat. However, people are still accustomed to calling the old county seat "the city".
Aunt Hao Lange's house is east of the old Qiaotou in Dongguan, so it is naturally not "in the city".
"There are a lot of people in the city, you are a little child, get lost, don't make trouble." Hao Lanxin stopped.
"Mom, it's okay, I have a mouth under my nose. Can't remember and won't ask? Tian Qingqing insisted on her opinion.
Hao Lanxin knows her daughter's ability. Seeing that her daughter wanted to go, for the sake of insurance, she still told her eldest sister to let Hao Lange send a child to accompany Tian Qingqing.
The first to bear the brunt is the ten-year-old third cousin Yi Shouyi. And I have to take Tian Qingqing with me on a bicycle.
Tian Qingqing secretly rejoiced in her heart: In this way, you can go to a few more places.
The aunt has five children, Yi Fengmin is the eldest, 20 years old this year, the second, the third, and the fourth, all of whom are boys, named Yi Shouxin, Yi Shouren, and Yi Shouyi, and the ages are 17, 14, and 10 years old. The fifth child is a girl, six years old this year. Because he is young, he is still nursing his child. It is said that he also slept under the same bed with his mother at night, and sometimes wet the bed.
The third cousin is very fat and strong, half a head taller than Wen Xiaoxu, and can sit on a bicycle seat and ride. Although the buttocks twisted and twisted, the car was very stable, and Tian Qingqing sat on the back seat frame and did not feel in a trance at all.
"Qingqing, where do you say we are going, say it, and I'll take you there." Yi Shouyi asked.
"Whatever. I don't know anywhere anyway. Tian Qingqing said.
As a result, it still followed the route hinted by Tian Qingqing.
The current county seat is too dilapidated, and there are many old buildings on both sides of the street. The streets are very narrow, so I just missed the car. There is not a single building, and there are very few shops on the street.
The most prosperous and lively is the cross street: the northeast corner is the county department store, the northwest corner is the county hardware store, the southwest corner is the Chengguan supply and marketing cooperative, and the southeast corner is the county food store department. To the east of the food store department is the meat store department, where Hu Daxia's man Yang Canxin works as an accountant.
"Let's go to the department store." Yi Shou Yi Jian yƬ.
The department store is the largest and most complete shopping mall in Wuyou County, and the average country man comes, even if he doesn't buy or sell, he has to go to the department store to see and open his eyes.
Tian Qingqing was not interested in it, shook his head and said, "We don't buy anything again, so we went." Let's go north. ā
When she was in the previous Shitian Miao Miao period, her work unit was in the north of the old county seat, and she wanted to revisit the old land there.
I rode a little north to the old bridge to the north. Now the old bridge is still there, and the water is murmuring under the bridge. This is something that Tian Qingqing did not expect. Because in the previous Tian Miao Miao period, it was already a very wide T-shaped intersection, and the address of the city wall and moat was built with courtyards and people's houses. There are two-storey or three-storey buildings on the street, and its prosperity is no less than that of the old cross street.
On the west side of the old bridgehead, on the south bank of the moat, there is a small sign that reads "Rice Flour Processing" and an arrow pointing inside.
"There are face-grinding people here?" Tian Qingqing jumped off the bicycle and pointed to the sign and asked.
"Hmm." Yi Shouyi saw Tian Qingqing walking inside, and said: "Inside is a face-grinding machine, a rice grinding machine, I don't look at it." ā
"Did you come here to change your face?" Tian Qingqing ignored Yi Shouyi's obstruction, and while causing a topic, he kept walking in.
"Hmm." Yi Shouyi saw that Tian Qingqing had no intention of stopping, so he also walked along, and said: "There is one here in the city, and there is another one at the old bridge." It's as far away as we are. We generally come here. ā
"Well ground here?"
"I don't know. Probably to say it's clean. ā
The noodle grinding room was built on the south bank of the moat, and there were two open rooms, and there was really only one machine for grinding noodles and one machine for grinding rice. The shopkeeper was dressed in dusty clothes and was grinding corn. The machine "boomed", and the dust flew in the room.
Three women stood on the sidelines, as if waiting to grind noodles or mill rice.
This is the first rice noodle processing point that Tian Qingqing has seen since he crossed. Thinking of the hard work of my parents pushing the mills, I thought: When the corn in the space is ripe, I will take it here for processing. Never let your parents push the mill again.
On the north bank of the moat is the county grain station. This has been in place since the time of Tian Miao Miao in the previous world, and it is also the gate facing east. Tian Miaomiao once had a grain relationship here, so she has an impression.
Seeing the familiar places in his previous life, Tian Qingqing was in a good mood, and he felt like he was revisiting on the spot.
To the west of the county grain station is a flour mill, and this Tian Qingqing also had an impression in his previous life. Because she used to buy flour there.
"Let's go to the flour mill." Tian Qingqing said.
"Let's go." Yi Shouyi immediately turned around the bicycle, "However, there is no way to look at it." ā
The flour mill is next to the grain station, and the noodle store and the grain station store are side by side, both of which are located in the north facing south, and there are slippery bungalows.
Tian Qingqing and Yi Shouyi pushed their bicycles and walked. Because there were a lot of people who changed their faces, coming and going, Tian Qingqing was afraid of being touched, so he didn't let Yi Shouyi get in the car.
Tian Qingqing stood in front of the door of the noodle room, looking at the successive noodle pickers, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: There is really no fish market in the river, and there is not a grain of wheat at home, how can people have so much wheat? It seems that the standard of living of his family is the lowest in this period.
After looking at it for a while, Tian Qingqing found that after the noodle changer handed over the noodles to the staff, the staff asked the noodle changer to carry the whole bag of flour outside, pour it into the pocket they brought themselves, and then hand over the empty noodle bag when they took the zero.
After the dough changer finished pouring the flour, there was still some flour on the noodle bag, despite shaking vigorously.
In my previous life, I heard my aunt say that there were several old ladies in Dongguan who came to sweep the noodle bags every day. The family can't finish the flour they sweeped.
Now, it seems, the old ladies haven't shown up yet.
However, when Seda Miaomiao was working in the past, the cloth noodle bag had been replaced with a woven bag, so there was no need to pour it at all.
In this way, the noodle sweeping bag appeared after now, before Tian Miaomiao's work.
Then, if you sweep the noodle bag yourself and sweep a few catties a day, you can also solve the problem of eating flour at home. It can also replenish food. Although there is corn in the space, it is just around the corner. But there is nothing else at home except corn, and I can't even eat a hot noodle soup. Don't talk about others, when you think of the fragrant fried noodles you ate in your previous life, you will drool unconsciously when you bite into the oily dumplings.
Right! Have time to sweep a day and see how much you can sweep?!
"Let's go, don't look at it." Tian Qingqing looked at it for a while, thought about it for a while, and said to Yi Shouyi.
They followed the same road and came to the north of the old bridgehead. Tian Qingqing still wanted to go north, but was blocked by Yi Shouyi: "There is nothing there, just crops, what to see there?" You haven't seen enough land at home?! ā
Tian Qingqing was embarrassed. I remembered that Tian Miaomiao came to work after graduating from university in the early nineties. That's more than 20 years! The construction of cities and towns began in the 80s and gradually accelerated in the future. It's only the early seventies, and there's nothing.
Tian Qingqing laughed in her heart that she was confused, and she no longer had any interest in playing, so the two went home.
When I got home, my eldest cousin Yi Fengjiao came back.
Yi Fengjiao is 1.65 meters tall. The complexion is pale. When he doesn't speak, he looks even more beautiful, dignified, and simple. Her bright eyes were not particularly large, covered with long, slightly curled eyelashes, raised, shiny, low, quiet.
Twenty years old is a good year for the girls to bloom with flowers! This is vividly expressed in Yi Fengjiao's body.
"Sister Jiao, you're off work." Tian Qingqing greeted her first and approached her very generously. - When she was in the hospital, Yi Fengjiao once followed her aunt to see her, so she knew her.
"Qingqing is here!" Yi Fengjiao spoke non-standard Mandarin and said like a silver bell.
Yi Fengjiao was born and grew up. She speaks Mandarin, is she flaunting her status as a broadcaster? Or is there a corresponding call for universal Mandarin? Tian Qingqing didn't know, but it sounded very good. It reminded her of her college days in her previous two lives, where teachers and students spoke Mandarin.
Yi Fengjiao took Tian Qingqing's hand, looked at it, and asked, "Qingqing, you put your hand into the boiling oil pot, and you really didn't hurt at all?" ā
Tian Qingqing nodded: "No." ā
Yi Fengjiao: "Qingqing, what did you think before you put your hand in the oil pot?" ā
Tian Qingqing: "I don't want to give her money." She said, 'Whoever dares to stretch out his hand into the pan of oil, I will give him or her twenty dollars!! I don't want her money, as long as she doesn't give me the twenty dollars to exorcise the demons." So, I ...... I'll just ......"
Yi Fengjiao: "Qingqing, you are doing the right thing, you have had a fearless spirit of no ~ production ~ level ~ level ~ revolution ~ life since you were a child." Still, if someone interviews you, you can't say money. This is the set of sealing, funding, and repairing. You should say that it is to break superstition, expose the ghostly tricks of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, and maintain the red color ~ government ~ power ......"
Seeing that her relatives were looking at her with strange eyes, Yi Fengjiao stopped talking, took a steamed bun from the grate, broke it in two, handed half of it to Tian Qingqing, ate half of it herself, and said, "Qingqing, come to my house, you have to wait for lunch." ā
Tian Qingqing saw that her mother Hao Lanxin was helping her aunt work in the kitchen, and Tian Miaomiao was still sleeping, so she followed Yi Fengjiao to the Xili room. RS
