Chapter 33 Buying New Year's Goods
Last night, Xiaoice hail, Chen Chunhua got up cold, and when she opened the door, a strong wind blew in outside.
Chen Chunhua shook her body and took a closer look, hey, there is a layer of white on the ground. "It's snowing!" Saying that, ran to the yard, it was still dark, Chen Chunhua rubbed her hands, the snow on the ground was still soft, grabbed a handful, stacked it into a snowball, and smashed one outside.
Seeing Chen Chunhua in the courtyard outside, the second child packed up her things and carried them out of the house, and put a thick cloak on her.
"Daughter-in-law, let's go, I'm late for a while, but I can't catch up!"
"Alas!"
There are many people who go to the town today, except for the ox cart in the village chief's house, and there is also an ox cart, and I don't know which house it is.
Chen Chunhua and the second child squeezed onto the ox cart in the village chief's house, and the black light was blind, and they couldn't see the truth. Chen Chunhua just sat up, someone patted her shoulder, turned her head and looked, coincidentally, the second aunt was also there.
"Second aunt!"
"Alas, Chunhua is in a hurry to go to the town to buy New Year's goods?" The second aunt came over and was next to Chen Chunhua, this person was still not so cold when they got together, Chen Chunhua sighed and said. "Alas, this is unknown, the day after tomorrow is Xiao Nian, I will go with the second brother."
"That's good, this year, it's been a lively year in the boss's house."
Resting on this side, the village chief snorted. "Guys, sit tight!"
Along the way, there were many people and lively, and the two ox carts were one in front of the other, and I didn't know which one started the way.
By daybreak, everyone was in town.
Chen Chunhua and the second aunt discussed, and went shopping together, but she didn't follow the second child to send wild things.
"Second aunt, sister-in-law Ah Lian asked me to bring her two catties of meat." Chen Chunhua doesn't care about forgetting this, and she doesn't know what to do for the New Year here, the original owner's memory has never been to the town, and she will do what she does in the house.
"Go back to the butcher stall, let's go over there first!" The second aunt walked closely beside Chen Chunhua, there were many people on the street, and it was estimated that the New Year was coming, and everyone rushed to buy New Year's goods.
"Second aunt, I've been here for the first year, I don't know what to do in the house, what are you buying?"
"What can I buy, isn't this New Year just to buy a pound of sugar, half a pound of melon seeds or something, just put it on hold." The two of them talked, and the second aunt took Chen Chunhua to a dry goods store.
When I walked into the house, I saw that the large and small frames were filled with melon seeds, preserved fruits, and some pastries.
"Just look at it, tell me what you want, the price is easy to say!" The boss is a middle-aged man, and he looks real.
The second aunt glanced at each other a few times and said. "I weigh a pound of melon seeds, half a pound of preserved fruits, and a bag of pastries."
"Alas, Cheng, these melon seeds, do you want to give birth or fry?" The boss was not ambiguous, pulled two pieces of cloth and put them on the stall, and scooped the preserved fruit from the basket with a weighing plate and weighed it.
"Raw, raw!" The melon seeds can be neat in the house, and the price of this speculation is also expensive, and it is not cost-effective to buy. Seeing that the second aunt bought these, Chen Chunhua kept staring at those pastries.
She can't say whether this pastry is good or not, she hasn't tried it, but it looks good. "How much is a pound of melon seeds?"
"I won't give you too much, five dollars a pound, this year's good goods, you look at these seeds, they are very full!"
The boss weighed the preserved fruit and grabbed a handful of melon seeds for Chen Chunhua to look at.
Chen Chunhua nodded and said. "I want two catties, what is the price of preserved fruits? And what about the pastry? ”
"Preserved fruit, six wen, the pastry depends on what you want, the mung bean cake is twelve wen a pack, and the rest are ten wen." The boss weighed the melon seeds and preserved fruits, wrapped them in a cloth and handed them to the second aunt, who counted the copper coins and put the things in the basket.
"Two catties of melon seeds, two packs of pastries, and one pound of preserved fruits." Chen Chunhua thought that these should be about the same, she hadn't seen any relatives in the house since she got married, so she didn't ask.
"Cheng, I'll give you a title!" The boss smiled, how could he not be happy if the business was good. Ma Li gave these things in order, and Chen Chunhua was not ambiguous, and gave the copper money happily.
From the work shop, the second aunt took Chen Chunhua to turn two alleys. "Second aunt, where is this?"
"Hey, my mother-in-law's brother-in-law, the old lady in her house sat in this house, and she went back to the door, and called me to come and have a look!" The second aunt stopped, raised her hand and knocked on the door.
Chen Chunhua didn't make a sound, waited for a while, the door opened, and an elderly mother-in-law came out, glanced at the second aunt and Chen Chunhua, and said. "Who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Aunt Li!" The second aunt replied, and the mother-in-law closed the door and asked them to wait.
After waiting for a while, the door opened, and a neat mother-in-law came out of it, looking at the second aunt, and said warmly. "Girl, why are you here!"
"Auntie, I'm just stopping by to take a look, it's not going back to my brother-in-law to come to my house to worry about you, I see you, I'll go back to her and bring her a message, this year, maybe go back to the house?"
"Alas, what's the matter, there's something going on in the owner's house, it's a toss!" Old Aunt Li patted the second aunt's hand. "Bring a message to my girl, I'll go back to the house after the New Year, don't worry about me!"
"Cheng, I turned around to her and said, auntie, what's going on in this owner's house?" Looking at Aunt Li's appearance, it is estimated that this owner is not having a good time.
"What can happen, the old lady in the owner's house, the former child was sick, and she didn't have a chance to talk in bed, so she called several Lang Zhong in the town to look, and now it has become a medicine jar."
"This person, you can't think about anything more, you should come all the time."
"Alas, I have to go to work, the old lady can't live without people." Aunt Li said a word and hurriedly returned to the house. Chen Chunhua stood aside and looked up at the alley. I haven't seen any adobe houses in the town, they are all green bricks.
"Spring flowers, let's go, I'll go buy a bag of pasta."
"Done!"
Chen Chunhua followed the second aunt, and the two of them walked around for a while, but the basket was full. After buying what they should have bought, the two of them went to the grain and oil store.
"Second aunt, you're here." The second aunt and Chen Chunhua went in, and the young man who was busy in the house greeted them.
"Baby, I'll come over and buy a bag of pasta, and you go back to the village to bring it back to me."
"Done!"
Chen Chunhua looked at the flour and pointed to one of the bags. "I want this bag!"
"Okay!"
The price of flour is high, Chen Chunhua asked for a bag, and it cost ninety children. It's easy to spend money and it's hard to make money, but in one morning, Chen Chunhua's purse has lost a lot of weight.
Coming out of the grain and oil shop, the second aunt pulled this Chen Chunhua Road. "Chunhua, aren't you going to bring two catties of meat to Ah Lian?"
"Alas, I have this head, if you don't mention it, you almost forgot about it!" Chen Chunhua patted her head, and forgot about it while shopping, this sister-in-law Ah Lian said that it was good, if she forgot it, she would get along with each other in the future, and she would have to say nothing.
