157 New Year's goods
A bright light flashed in Yun Fang's mind, as if something was about to come out, but Yun Fang thought about it carefully, but didn't catch anything, Yun Fang couldn't help frowning.
Yun Fang shook her mind like this, and her mother had already taken out more than a dozen or twenty eldest sons from the placket of her clothes and handed them into Li Yuzhen's hands, and said inexplicably, "...... Although the money is not much, it is still enough to add a new dress for the New Year to the eldest girl, and the child is growing up day by day, no matter what others say or not, he should not wear the patches of clothes all day long. β
"The eldest girl is blessed, and the eldest aunt is worried about it," Li Yuzhen took the eldest son handed over by her mother with a faint expression, gently checked it, and then pulled her lips and muttered, "The eldest girl is blessed, and no one cares about the fourth and Liya, and no one cares how tattered they are." β
Although Li Yuzhen muttered to herself, her voice was not much lower, although the market was a little noisy, the people around her still heard it clearly.
The mother's expression was dark, her lips moved, as if she wanted to say something, but Guo Bowen hurriedly pulled Li Yuzhen's sleeve for a long time, and persuaded in a low voice, "The eldest sister gave the money, let's quickly tear the cloth for the children to make clothes, the children are still waiting at home." β
Guo Bowen smiled apologetically at his eldest sister as he spoke, and then pulled Li Yuzhen's sleeve and hurriedly walked towards the lively fabric stall.
I don't know what Guo Bowen said again, Li Yuzhen's voice suddenly became louder, and she pulled Guo Bowen and walked to another stall, "Why is the eldest girl wearing such good clothes for a ten-year,......-old child?
"Okay, okay, all listen to you, all listen to you. Guo Bowen seemed to give in, for fear that Li Yuzhen would say something unpleasant again, so he pulled Li Yuzhen's sleeve and hurriedly walked towards the stall in the distance.
Looking at the back of Guo Bowenhe and Li Yuzhen, Yun Fang finally couldn't help but pout, this Li Yuzhen's face is really not ordinarily thick, just because she heard a few gossips from the Mao family and the flower woman, she asked for a small sum of money from her mother, and she got what she wanted but was not grateful, and wanted more, this is a typical lack of people's hearts, right?
However, looking at her mother's gloomy look, Yun Fang's complaint swallowed back. Li Yuzhen's scoundrel is rude, how could her mother not know it, but it involves her uncle Guo Bowen, who is her mother's only younger brother, she understands intellectually, but emotionally she can't bear to embarrass her uncle, and her mother is also in a dilemma.
Yun Fang shook her head helplessly and distressedly, exchanged a look with Yun Hua, and the two of them stepped forward, grabbed her mother's arm one by one, and pointed to Aunt Ju who was seriously looking at the fabric at a stall not far away, and said, "Mother, my godmother has been picking for a long time, let's go over and have a look." β
As soon as Yun Fang's words fell, Aunt Ju over there seemed to have a heart with her, holding an apricot-yellow material in her hand, and beckoned, "Old sister, Fang'er, Hua'er, come and take a look, I look at this material very well." β
The mother took the opportunity to put away the gloom on her face, and responded with a smile, "It's quite bright from a distance, let's take a closer look." β
As she spoke, the mother seemed to have changed her mind, and walked towards Aunt Ju with Yun Fang and Yun Hua, and the small stone that was a few steps behind followed silently.
Aunt Ju has a good eye, this time it is to make clothes for the first time for her goddaughter Yunfang, she is even more attentive, and she is not stingy with money, just pick the most suitable texture and color. After repeated comparisons, I finally chose a fabric with an apricot yellow background decorated with small flowers, which looked fresh and playful and cute.
After buying the fabric, and not handing over the materials to the tailor in the bazaar, Aunt Ju said in a big way, "This year, those people are in a hurry to do a lot of work, and the clothes they make are not fine, and they have wasted the materials we carefully selected, so I should make them myself." β
"That's a good dare," my mother said with a smile, "However, seeing that the New Year is coming, I'm afraid that there will be a lot of things in my sister's house, and there will be a lot of people in your family." β
The mother is euphemistic to talk about the other two daughters-in-law of Aunt Ju, since they began to date, there is a lot of chatting about this piece, but rarely mention the matter of her daughter-in-law in the two rooms from Aunt Ju's mouth, it can be imagined that the relationship between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not harmonious, if Aunt Ju makes clothes for Yunfang at this moment of the New Year, and is seen by the daughter-in-law, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not be unhappy.
I don't know if Aunt Ju understood her mother's euphemistic prompt, the look on her face did not change, and she said with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm just busy making clothes for my goddaughter, and I still have time to make clothes for my goddaughter, and my goddaughter's business is better than God." β
Seeing that Aunt Ju was so sure, the mother swallowed the excuse on the side of her mouth, pushed Yun Fang with a smile, and said jokingly, "You girl is so blessed, you have such a godmother who really treats you as a treasure, why don't you hurry up and thank you." β
"Ouch, I'm good to my goddaughter, but I don't want her to say 'thank you'," Aunt Ju hurriedly said, "I'm a goddaughter, it's my goddaughter's pain to be my daughter, and I want to find myself an intimate little padded jacket." β
Talking and laughing, the group left the stalls selling fabrics and ready-to-wear in the West Market, and came to the stalls selling pork. The price of pork sold in each stall is not expensive, but there are still not many people to buy, even if there are some to get up, it is only three catties and five catties apart, and there is no big purchase of ten catties and eight catties in the front, and the pork on those stalls is still piled up in large piles, and the stall owner's face is not very good-looking.
At the beginning, Yun Fang was still a little curious, why are so few people buying such cheap pork? People here attach so much importance to the Chinese New Year, they should buy more while it is cheap.
But after thinking about it for a while, Yun Fang immediately understood the key, and secretly scolded herself for thinking too naΓ―ve and simple, and almost made a joke. The price of pork is not high, but the big fat pig is even cheaper, every household is reluctant to sell or kill, in previous years, the money that could be obtained steadily, but this year it has not arrived, can the big guy not be anxious? Buying meat for the New Year is naturally not willing to spend money.
Yun Fang figured it out, and everyone knew it in their hearts, even their voices were much lower, and they walked quickly through the pork stall and rushed to the stall selling vegetables.
There are a lot of all kinds of green vegetables, but there is no hot scene of buying and selling on the big market in previous years, and I think it is also because of the cheap big fat pigs this year.
The Lan family has just made a big business, although they haven't seen the cash yet, but they are willing to take out the money set aside in advance for the New Year to spend, because things are cheaper than in previous years, their New Year's goods are more abundant, they buy all kinds of vegetables, and they also buy some dried fruits for the first time.
Aunt Ju is also a solid family, and she is doing New Year's goods with the Lan family, and she has bought everything she should buy, and she bought it all the way, and everyone's back basket is full of Deng. Especially the small stones, not only did he carry a full basket on his back, but he also carried things on both hands.
Seeing the sun rise obliquely, it was about to reach the top of my head.
The group walked from the fabric ready-to-wear stall at the west end of the market to the stall selling children's gadgets at the east end of the bazaar, and the mother took Yun Fang to buy a few children's gadgets, Yun Fang understood that these were prepared for the grandsons and granddaughters of the Ju family, since they were going to Li Zigou for lunch, if they met, they could not lose their manners.
After a trip, everyone was a little tired, and the things that should be bought were almost done, and everyone rushed to the horse shop where the carriages and horses were kept.
With the carriage, of course, there was no need to carry things, and everyone happily put all the things on their backs on the carriage, rubbed their sore shoulders, and waited for Dashan and Li Yonglian to converge.
It was already noon, and Yun Fang and the others didn't wait long before they saw Dashan and Li Yonglian coming over from afar, and they whispered something as they walked.
