Chapter 99: Trade Fairs
Early in the morning, the white leaves who are used to getting up early are also a little late, compared with the busy and fast-paced life in the provincial capital, this is still a bustling city is slightly more quiet, soothing the tired hearts of the children returning home, and making life a little more comfortable.
Coming to the living room, the bright sunlight shone into the room through the window, and the white mother walked into the kitchen humming a song, tied her apron and was about to start making breakfast.
"Mom, why are you so happy today?"
"My son is happy to be back."
Bai Ye smiled lightly and walked into the kitchen.
"I would have been happier if I had brought my daughter-in-law back sooner."
Bai Ye sighed helplessly and quickly changed the topic.
"Need help?"
"No, go wash up, you'll be ready to eat soon."
"Hmm."
When he returned to the kitchen door again, breakfast was already on the table in the dining room, Bai Ye sat opposite his mother and ate breakfast in a big gulp, although this is a common food in the province, he has not eaten it for a long time since Bai Ma's own hand.
"Sure enough, it's still mom's taste the most fragrant."
"That's, if you like to eat, eat more, and the kitchen is still cherry."
"Hmm."
"What are your arrangements for today?"
"Go to Guzhen, she wants to go to the fair, Mom, do you want to go together?"
"Okay, but I won't use a light bulb when you young people go shopping, and I'll ask your aunt in a moment."
Shiraba nodded and continued to bury his head in eating.
After finishing breakfast, Bai Ye helped his mother clean up the kitchen before going back to the room to change clothes, they made an appointment to go out at half past ten, and when they got there, they went to eat first, and then walked slowly.
Two fathers are working in the unit, the three holidays of the bonfire festival should be put before it begins, at half past ten in the morning, the two mothers and two children went out together, the place where the exhibition is held at this time of year is overcrowded, and it is difficult to find a parking space for private cars, so several people chose the bus.
The ancient town is close to the suburbs, used to be the terminal of many road buses, and now it has extended out a lot, because there are many tourists who come here during the festival, the bus company temporarily dispatched many other lines of bus to run the special line of the exhibition, and the roads near the ancient town have become very congested, and it is almost half past eleven when they finally get off the bus.
The station is right next to the main gate of the old town, and when you walk to the gate with the crowds, you can see the railway that runs over the entire old town, and if it is the same as in previous years, the fair should be on the street after crossing the railway.
"Let's go have lunch and then go shopping!"
There were no objections from a few people, and everyone walked along the main street, which was very wide, with shops on both sides, and a row of movable RV stalls in the center.
It took a lot of effort to finally come to the street entrance of the fair, Chen Xiaodi found the entrance of the food street at a glance, and walked there quickly. went to a store to find a place to sit down, Chen Xiaodi, who was in a state of excitement all the way, finally calmed down, the two mothers ordered food at the door, and the two children sat in the corner of the simple board room chatting.
The spacious shop filled up quickly, and the things they ordered were quickly served. It's lunch, but it's all about eating, and at this fair, foods such as rice noodles and hot and sour noodles are staple foods, and more are eaten with a variety of specialties.
Now in front of a few people are hot hot and sour noodles, as well as crispy chicken thighs and large slices of tofu just out of the pot. Sauces, desserts, dried goods, nuts, skewers, and ice cream constitute the main content of the food court, and sometimes you can see some special foods from outside the province, in short, most of them are usually not eaten.
At the time, mothers would buy clothes for their two children, but now they are mostly bought online, and the main purpose of coming here has become food, and of course, sometimes they can also buy some affordable and high-quality daily necessities.
After lunch, a few people continued to set off, regardless of whether they bought anything or not, since they came, they should always take a look at the whole fair, and maybe they could meet something good.
In the past, when the trade fair was held in front of the house, there were several streets every year, stretching for several kilometers, and it took two or three trips to complete them all. Now it belongs to the main traffic road, the exhibition has not been held there for many years, and now the exhibition is much larger due to the venue limitations, but it is still lively, and the board houses stretch along the streets of the ancient town, and it looks like it will take a long time.
"I want to eat this!"
Seeing a stall selling all kinds of ice cream from a distance, Chen Xiaodi almost ran to the stall, there were already some people gathered here, and she had to wait patiently in line. In this scorching sun, cold things are always very welcome.
Bai Ye just wanted Chen Xiaodi to eat less cold things, but he saw that the two mothers also came over and asked Chen Xiaodi to help them bring two ice creams. Since you can't stop it, you can only go with her, Bai Ye sighed helplessly, just as a girl who had just bought ice cream walked past him, and he caught a glimpse of a lot of fruit sandwiched between the ice cream, which looked very delicious.
In the end, Bai Ye was also stuffed with an ice cream in Chen Xiaodi's hand, fresh fruit and sweet ice cream, it can be a supreme enjoyment in such an air. Chen Xiaodi gulped down ice cream and smiled contentedly.
The street was not long, but it was not short, and by the time a few people finally finished walking around, it was close to four o'clock in the afternoon. Everyone was a little tired from walking, so they found a shady place to sit down and rest at the roadside stall, and ordered a few things to eat for dinner.
I thought I wouldn't buy too many things, but it turned out to be a full load, Bai's mother bought some dry goods and sauces, Chen's mother bought some nuts, and the rest were the things that the two children loved to eat. Carrying large bags of things in their hands, several people gave up the idea of walking home slowly, and patiently lined up at the back of the line to wait for the bus.
When I got home, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening, Chen Xiaodi threw the bag and collapsed on the bed and didn't want to move, tired all day, it was impossible to learn, just have fun for a while. When he received Chen Xiaodi's message, Bai Ye had just finished writing today's card, and when he boarded the game unhurriedly, Chen Xiaodi was already online.
"I'm running the division's door, wait a minute."
Waiting for the empty time in the white leaves in Chang'an City around the stalls, to see if they can find any good things, passing by the post station next to the archway saw someone is setting off fireworks, is made of roses and diamonds in the shape of a heart.
The fireworks were beautiful, and there was a player's doppelganger standing next to it, and the bubbles above his head were rolling for what he wanted. Bai Ye's heart suddenly moved, and he turned back to find the fireworks seller, and also studied the fireworks puzzle.
