Xiaobao and Fengzhi walked on the way to Baishan.

Whenever Xiaobao looked back, Feng Zhi always lowered his head and smiled shallowly. Xiaobao felt that his feet were not on the snow, but on the cotton. Xiaobao's head was a little dizzy, like the big cabinet had just finished smoking a cigarette.

"Fengzhi, why are the clothes you wore when you went to work with your relatives today and the other day?" Xiaobao asked.

Feng Zhi didn't speak, his face turned crimson.

Looking at the patched clothes and pants, Xiaobao patted his chest, "When you get to Brother Baishan, I'll tear a few feet of cloth for you, and you can make a new dress to wear." ”

"No, you buy it for me." Feng Zhi said categorically.

Xiaobao was speechless for a while.

After thinking about it, Xiaobao said: "I inquired, we are both the same year, and I am a few months older than you." Even if the eldest brother bought it for his sister, otherwise, I would have pulled a few feet of cloth for Liu Wancai, you are my sister, is he my brother-in-law. ”

Feng Zhi lowered his head and just didn't speak. After a long time, he raised his head and said, "Even if you borrow this cloth money." When I went home, I told Liu Wancai that my father had made money and asked my cousin Baishan to give it to me. ”

"Okay, let's just say that." Xiaobao agreed.

After negotiating one thing, both of them felt a lot more relaxed. One after the other, they walked towards Baishan.

As soon as I walked into Baishan, there were suddenly more people. Carrying baskets, carrying burdens, pushing wheelbarrows, and the bustling flow of people driving horse-drawn carriages all poured towards Baishan.

Kashiwayama was originally a small village. However, since the Japanese built the railway a few years ago and built a railway station in Kashiwayama, there have been more and more households. I don't know when the market will be opened every few days, and there will be more people.

The year is closed, and the New Year is like passing. So there are a lot of people selling things today, and there are also a lot of people buying New Year's goods. A small street that is not long is crowded with people.

As soon as he entered the bazaar, Feng Zhi's eyes were not enough. I couldn't stop turning my head to look at the things placed on both sides of the street, and my steps became smaller and smaller.

Xiaobao grabbed Fengzhi's arm and pointed to the shop on the side of the road with his fingers, "I drank a bowl of big dumpling porridge in the morning, and my chest was attached to my back." Why don't you go for a bowl of mutton soup before you buy something? ”

After speaking, Xiaobao squeezed through the crowd and walked towards the shop.

"You know how to spend money." Feng Zhi muttered a sentence in a low voice, and squeezed over.

"Is the little couple going to the market or going to relatives? Come on in, there's a seat inside. What to eat? A big lady greeted at the door. The voice was loud and long, like singing.

Xiaobao said, "Two bowls of mutton soup and four flour cakes." After speaking, he and Feng Zhi found a small table and sat down.

"Okay," the aunt turned into the back room like a gust of wind.

Ever since she heard the three words of the little couple, Feng Zhi has been blushing and looking cramped and uneasy.

Two bowls of mutton soup and four sheets of flour cakes were quickly placed on the table.

Xiaobao picked up a cake and handed it to Fengzhi, and he also picked up one and said that he would start eating, and he ate it.

Feng Zhi took a small bite of cake and drank soup. She hadn't seen meat for more than half a year, and she hadn't eaten white noodles.

When Xiaobao's bowl of soup was almost finished, Feng Zhi only drank half a bowl. As if remembering something, Xiaobao shouted: "Boss, two more dough cakes and a bowl of mutton soup." ”

After the soup was served, Xiaobao poured half of it into the bowl of Fengzhi without saying a word. Then he whispered: "Three pieces of bread per person, if you can't finish eating, you can eat it on the way back." ”

Xiaobao finished eating three flour cakes, and Feng Zhi had just finished eating, and was wrapping the remaining bread with a hand towel.

"Boss, settle the score." Xiaobao shouted.

"Have you eaten the little two?" The aunt walked over with a smile. "It's a penny in total."

Xiaobao handed over a five-yuan ticket and waited for the aunt to find money.

"It's so expensive." Feng Zhi muttered in a low voice.

The aunt's face was cold, and she turned her face and smiled: "This girl looks good and can live a good life." No way, that's the price. We don't make a lot of money all year round. Come back after eating - give birth to a noble son early! ”

After the two of them walked out, looking at the red phoenix branches, Xiaobao said, "I'll buy you cloth first." ”

Walking into the cloth village, Fengzhi's eyes were glued to the cotton cloth and satin of different colors and colors.

"Or make a satin dress," Xiaobao encouraged.

Feng Zhi pursed her lips, took away the hand that was stroking the silk with difficulty, and turned around and walked towards the place where the cotton cloth was sold. The expression was like parting from life and death.

Feng Zhi quickly bought Liu Wancai a few feet of navy blue cotton cloth and picked it up for himself. She looked at this cloth, and then at that cloth, and for a long time she couldn't decide what to do. I had to turn my head and ask Xiaobao: "Which one do you think looks good?" ”

Xiaobao smiled and said, "You look good in whatever you wear." "I secretly praised myself for being self-taught.

Feng Zhi glanced at him with disgust. I gritted my teeth and picked a blue flower with a white background.

The two men walked back down the street. Xiaobao looked at the phoenix branch holding two pieces of cloth and said, "There are still twenty yuan here, you still have to buy some New Year's goods." After speaking, he grabbed Feng Zhi's right hand and forced the money into her hand.

"Aren't you going to your cousin's house? I still have to go to the pharmacy to buy some medicine for Qi Erye. Xiaobao said.

Feng Zhi nodded, "Then you'll go back to the village today?" ”

"Not necessarily, if things go well, I'll go back today. If it doesn't go well, I'll leave tomorrow. Xiaobao said.

"Then I'll go first." Feng Zhi took a deep look at Xiaobao and turned to leave.

Xiaobao also squeezed into the crowd, but he didn't take a few steps before he stood under the eaves of a shop and looked back, watching Feng Zhi slowly walk away.

Xiaobao shook his head, when he listened to the two of them, Miss Sichun in the play always didn't think about it, and now she was a little stunned.

Stopping an old man passing by, Xiaobao asked, "Old man, do you always know how to go to the crude medicine shop?" ”

The old man pointed to the west with his hand, "Fifty meters ahead, and you will be there." ”

Xiaobao looked for directions.

Leaving the main street suddenly became much more scarce, and the houses became sparse. A blue cloth banner hangs in front of the door of a five-room tiled house.

As soon as Xiaobao opened the cotton curtain and walked into the pharmacy, a young man greeted him: "The old customer is here, what kind of medicine do you want to buy?" ”

Xiaobao looked left and right, and when he saw the guy alone, he asked, "Why are you alone?" Is your boss here? ”

"Looking for a boss? The boss is in the back room. Boss - someone is looking for" The guy shouted back.

The curtain was lifted, and a middle-aged man with a knife face walked out.

"Hey, you're the shopkeeper? You've made a fortune. Xiaobao said with a grin.

"I'm here to talk to the boss about a small deal, see if we can talk about it later," Xiaobao said again.

The middle-aged man looked Xiaobao up and down a few times, nodded and said, "Okay, the little old guest will talk to me in the back." ”

The boss lifted the curtain and led Xiaobao through the corridor to the back room, the boss first cleaned up the pen and paper inkstone on the table for writing prescriptions, and then pointed to the chair and said to Xiaobao: "Little old guest, please take a seat." ”

Xiaobao didn't sit down first. I saw him unbutton his padded jacket, take out a paper bag from his waist and put it on the table, and then sat down in a big way.

The boss stepped forward and picked up the paper bag and checked it in his hand, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.
