Chapter 13 Rush to the Market

If you don't fight for three days, go to the house and uncover the tiles, this is Xia Shouzhi's true thoughts when he looks at his son. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Xia Yuanding, put a bundle on the rope king's body, knelt honestly, quite a bit of guilt, and finally Xia Li persuaded him, so that Xia Yuanding was spared the pain of flesh and skin.

Since then, Xia Yuanding has never played with those children to jump rope, which is a profound lesson.

The salt at home will eventually run out one day, daily life, firewood, rice, oil and salt, this salt is absolutely indispensable.

"The salt in the house is gone!"

"It's the market in three days, and when the time comes, bring everything with you!"

It's going to catch up with the market, and three days later, it just so happens that grandpa doesn't teach, and he happens to be free, can he go with him?

At that time, it must be my father and mother who will go together, how can there be two children left at home, although eight-year-old Xia Yingxue can already cook by herself, but after all, there are no adults at home.

Is it to keep them at Grandpa's house, this is very likely. After all, the distance between villages is very far away now, let alone going to the town market, it must be dark back and forth. The journey is tiring, and it is better for children to be taken care of at home than by relatives.

"Sister, what is the bazaar like?" Xia Yuanding asked curiously.

"Didn't you go there once, why do you still ask me?"

"But I've forgotten it now!"

"Bazaar, there are delicious fruits, sugar people, and fragrant flatbread!" Xia Yingxue said yearningly.

When Xia Yuanding heard it, it was all food, which was even better.

"Then do you think Daddy will take us with you?"

"It's unlikely, my father and mother are going to do business, and if they take us there, they may not be able to take care of us!" Xia Yingxue thought that it was impossible for her father and mother to take them.

"My sister will take care of me when the time comes, as long as we don't make trouble, my father and mother can take us there!" Xia Yuanding suggested.

"Maybe!" Xia Yingxue said uncertainly.

"Do you want to go?"

"I want to too!"

"Then I'll tell my mother to let her take the two of us with you, and you will have to help me talk then!"

"Good!"

With the support of his sister, Xia Yuanding fell asleep satisfied. As for his mother's disagreement, he will cry, make trouble, and use all means to break through the softest line of defense in your heart.

……

Day 1:

"Mother, can you take me to the market!" Xia Yuanding said with anticipation.

"You're still so young, when the time comes, you'll have fun at your grandfather's house, and you want to buy it for you." Xia Li didn't seem to see that trace of expectation from his son, so he disagreed.

"I've forgotten what the bazaar is like, so take me there!" Xia Yuanding tried to bring back memories of his mother once taking him to the market.

"When you're older, my mother will take you there when you're older!" Xia Li also forgot what it was like to take his son to the market for the first time.

"Mother, why don't you take me and my brother together, and I'll just look at my brother when the time comes!" Xia Yingxue said.

"Okay, let's not talk about it yet, my mother is going to serve dinner, your father is coming back soon!"

The noon of the first day was unsuccessful.

Day 2:

"Mother......

"Okay, don't talk about it, stay at home, the market is far away, you have to get up early in the morning, and you can't come back until dark, be good, just play at home."

"Mother, how old is my brother, you should take your brother out to see, my brother will go out in the future, how can I stay at home every day!" Xia Yingxue said on the side, this is a standard, this is what Xia Yuanding taught last night.

"Okay, my mother agreed, and when your father comes back, he agrees, and I'll take you with me!" After saying that, Xia Li was busy, but he was annoyed to death by the two children in the past two days.

Xia Yuanding and his sister looked at each other, it turned out that the hard work of the past two days was not worth it, and the breakthrough was still on the head of the family.

"Brother, what do you think?"

Dad's words, it's not easy to do.

Day 3:

"Dad, I want to go to the market with you!" At noon, while eating, Xia Yuanding made his request.

"If you don't stay at home, why do you want to go to the market?" Regarding this matter, Xia Shouzhi asked knowingly, he knew early on that his son was clamoring to go to the market, but he always pretended not to know.

"I want to follow my dad to learn more!" Xia Yuanding gave a high-sounding reason.

"What kind of insight can you grow from rushing to the market, isn't reading more insightful?" Xia Shouzhi felt that his son's reason was very.

"Dad, read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, haven't you heard of it?" Xia Yuanding reminded, but he forgot the source of this sentence, and besides, his father was a farmer, so it was strange that he could understand.

"Who said this, did your grandfather teach you?"

"That's right, that's what grandpa said, not only to learn the knowledge in books, but also to learn the knowledge of being a person and doing things!" At the critical moment, it doesn't matter, and these words are temporarily hung on the old man, and he can be regarded as pulling the tiger's skin.

"If you want to go, go and eat well!"

When it was done, he could finally see the outside world, Xia Yuanding bit the nest in his hand fiercely.

In the afternoon, Xia Shouzhi went to his second brother's house to pick up an ox cart and rushed back to his yard.

Xia Yuanding looked at this cow, he was the hero of their family. When the family was divided, their family did not have a cow, so they only gave it to his uncle, second uncle, and third uncle's family, and later the cow came down to give their family a head.

It is true to say that the old man is eccentric, just look at the uncle's house, it is directly a stone house, but their family lives in an adobe house. But that can't be helped, who made his father Xia Shouzhi get married late.

Because there is no cowshed, the cow has been kept in the second uncle's house, and Xia Shouzhi goes to feed the cow grass every day, so the cow is no stranger to him.

On the day of the market, when it was still dark, they all had to get up, and it was only five watches at this time, and Xia Yuanding estimated that it was only about four o'clock.

Xia Yuanding has been accustomed to the living habits of the countryside, and he has to go to bed when he is in time, and this period is called "getting up", that is, a watch. The second watch is in the middle of the day, the third watch is in the sub-hour, and the fifth watch is the second watch, that is, three to five o'clock before dawn.

began to wash, at this time my father and mother were already preparing, put the satin cloth on Niu Chen, the eggs were not good, the road was bumpy, and I had to hold it in my arms. There is also food, if you are hungry, stay on the road to eat. In the end, the mother also brought a package, and she had to bring everything she could, as well as the wine jar.

It would be nice if there was a carriage, but unfortunately there is not, the carriage only has one in the Du landlord's house, usually the villagers go to the market to take an ox cart, otherwise they have to walk.

"Everything is ready!" Xia Shouzhi confirmed it again, and didn't find that he had forgotten anything, so he locked the door.

The ox cart was covered with hay, and he and his sister sat in the back half of the cart, with his father driving the cart in front and his mother sitting in the middle of the cart.

As soon as the whip sounded, the ox began to move slowly.

Sitting on the ox cart, looking at the stars in the sky still twinkling, Orion due south can still see clearly, the moon is still the same moon, the stars are still the same star. It's just that the goddess in the Gui Palace is no longer called Chang'e, the uncle who chops wood has become her lover, and the jade rabbit is their love thing.

When passing by a reed field, Xia Yingxue happily sang a nursery rhyme:

"The reeds are high, the reeds are long, and the reeds are like snow and snow. The reed knows the wind and the rain the most.

The reeds are high, the reeds are long, and the reeds are playing hide and seek. How many high-ranking celebrities and fortunes are cowherds back then.

……

The reeds are high, the reeds are long, and the reeds are busy weaving. Weave into my bag, accompany me on a long voyage from now on.

The reeds are high, the reeds are long, and the sound of the reed flute is melodious. The shepherd boy is in the distance, which makes people worry about their father and mother. ”

On the sidewalk on the eastern side of Cuiping Mountain, in some dark nights, Xia Yingxue's singing spread far away, and the family's cordial conversation accompanied by the sound of joy woke up the small animals that were still sleeping.

The ox cart moved slowly, the sky was getting cooler, and Xia Yuanding could finally see the surrounding scene clearly, the roadside was overgrown with weeds, with dead leaves in winter and newly exposed green shoots. The village is still surrounded by a fertile field, but if you go far, you can't see where people live.

Further on, it was a deserted place, and Xia Yuanding was a little worried about whether there would be wild beasts. However, Xia Shouzhi never told him this, presumably there were no large beasts, otherwise they didn't seem to care, maybe he was too careful.

In fact, this uninhabited land is far away and not suitable for the growth of crops, even if there are wild beasts, they are in the depths of the Cuiping Mountains, and will not appear in flat areas, after more than 60 years of hunting in the Ning Dynasty, the number is already very small, and it is rare to really encounter a wild boar or something.
