Bai Lao Niang was carrying two large vegetable baskets, Bai Da was full of bamboo baskets and other utensils, and Bai Mingxuan was also carrying a basket full of vegetables.

Before they reached the entrance of the village, they saw a hazy shadow waiting in front of them, which was the ox cart of Uncle Tao's family.

The ox cart in Taohua Village has been operated by Uncle Tao's family for more than ten years, except when the farm is busy, the ox cart goes to the town every market day, generally goes in the morning, and comes back before noon, and when it is close to the New Year, the return journey is only a little later.

One penny per person, plus renting out while farming, can also make a lot of money in a year.

Now that Uncle Tao is old, his son Tao Da has inherited the job.

Peach Blossom Village is not very far from Taoxi Town, and it only takes an hour to walk past, but if you walk over, it will generally not be able to catch up with the good time.

Therefore, the white lady is willing to spend a few pennies to make this ox cart.

When she got closer, Bai Mingxuan saw the appearance of the oxcart clearly.

It's hard to say it's a car, because it's so shabby!

Just a few worn-out wooden planks of different sizes, put together into a cart like a large drawer, below which are two large wheels, and several leashes are put on the ox, relying on the ox to move to pull the cart away.

The car was covered with a layer of dry straw, and there was already a person sitting on it at this time, and she saw Bai Lao Niang and her party hurriedly greeted:

"Yo, sister-in-law Bai, take such a large family to the town? Come, come and sit beside me. ”

As he spoke, he shifted his body and patted the open space beside him.

"Sister-in-law Zhang, so early?" Aunt Bai stepped forward a few steps, put her things down, and asked with a smile.

"My little daughter is calling me to go to town again, but I can't hurry up!" She was smug and smiling.

The white lady beckoned, let the grandchildren get into the car, and turned her head and said:

"It was early, and my youngest daughter called me to her house! No, I picked up her nephews and nieces. ”

Mrs. Zhang's youngest daughter married to the town, which became a topic of conversation that she was proud of, and she subconsciously boasted today, but she forgot that Mrs. Bai also had a daughter who married to the town, and the family still opened a grocery store, which was more prosperous than her own merchant's aunt.

Hearing this, his face suddenly stiffened, and he sneered: "That's a coincidence, I went to my daughter's house as a guest today." ”

"Sit down! Don't drop things. The white lady turned her head and called her grandchildren to sit down, and quickly answered.

"Hey, today we're going to rent a stall at the market and sell some food. The vegetables in the field are cooked, and it will snow soon! If you don't pick it and sell it, I'm afraid that it will rot in the ground. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the vegetables in the basket and talked to her, "Hey, what did you bring?" Shall we go to the market first? I can't go to my son-in-law's house empty-handed......"

Bai Mingxuan and the others climbed into the ox cart and crowded together, took the basket, and the ox cart was full.

The simple ox cart couldn't seat many people, and now this was the extreme, so Bai Da walked to the town. Fortunately, he is a man in the prime of life, and the things he carries are not heavy, so he can still sit in a different place if he can't do it.

Tao Da, who was sitting in front, looked back and saw that they were all seated, flicked his whip, and shouted, "Sit tight!" Let's go! ”

With a "snap" of the whip, the ox cart began to move slowly.

The speed of this ox cart is similar to that of a human walk, although it is free of fatigue, but this uneven dirt road is uncomfortable, Bai Mingxuan tried to grab the car board, adjust the sitting position, and try to make himself feel better.

As the ox cart got farther and farther away from Taohua Village, the sky gradually brightened, and there were more and more pedestrians on the road.

More than an hour later, the ox cart arrived in the town of Peach Creek.

At the entrance of the town, the ox cart stopped on the side, and the Bai family got out of the car with help, and then turned around to take the things down, and the white lady took out the money bag from her arms, counted a few copper plates and handed them to Tao Da.

Then, after separating from Mrs. Zhang, he hurried to the market and rented a stall for five cents.

When the vegetables and baskets were set up on the stall, Bai Mingxuan breathed a sigh of relief and began to look at the market.

The market in Taoxi Town is really lively, and this street is full of all kinds of vendors, shouting and shouting at each other, bustling, and rubbing shoulders one after another.

There are hunters selling prey, and there are roe deer and pheasants on the stalls, and people sit in the back, shouting, "The pheasant roe deer that has just been beaten is sold cheaply!" ”

There are merchants walking the streets and alleys, with their backs against a wall, and the loaded goods are crowded with people, picking cloth and needlework while bargaining.

There are also people in the rivers and lakes who perform performances, and there is a clearing not far away, and a man holds a stick, bows his head and takes a sip of wine, and "poof" raises his head and spews out a fire dragon.

"Good!" "One more!" The onlookers applauded again and again.

Bai Mingxuan and the others were unconsciously attracted by the performance over there, staring directly at them with their eyes open, their mouths slightly open, and they were amazed in their hearts.

"Sell vegetables, sell vegetables! The freshly picked cabbage loofah is fresh and delicious! ”

The white lady shouted and brought them back to their senses.

Bai Mingxuan's face was slightly confused, and she really wanted to see it, so she asked tentatively, "Grandma, can we go over there and have a look?" ”

"I knew you guys wouldn't be able to stay, so let's go play!" Seeing this, the white lady shook her head with a smile and pushed them, "Go, go, let's go, look at the two little ones, don't get lost!" ”

Bai Mingxuan and the others walked out with smiles on their faces, cheering like fish in water.

Bai Minghui was immediately attracted by a jewelry stall as soon as she took a few steps, her eyes were shining, and she pulled Bai Mingxin to walk over there unconsciously.

The others didn't have any goals, so they followed.

The humble stall was surrounded by a group of people, making it difficult for people to get close, Bai Mingxuan took Bai Mingwei's hand and squeezed it over.

When she got closer, Bai Mingxuan took a look and saw that the stalls were piled up with some head ropes and vermilion hairpins, with rough workmanship and cheap materials, but in this bazaar, it was able to attract many girls and daughters-in-law from the countryside.

Bai Minghui took a peach wood hairpin, turned it over and over, looked at it carefully, and the love in her eyes was about to overflow.

When the vendor saw it, he said, "Girl, if you like it, buy it!" ”

One sentence brought Bai Minghui back to reality, she waved her hand again and again, blushing and said, "No, no, I'll take a look, I'll take a look." ”

Hurriedly put down the hairpin and pulled Bai Mingxin away.

"Sister, let's go over there and watch them do tricks!" Bai Mingxuan took the opportunity to propose.

"Uh-huh, let's go see the trick." Bai Minghui nodded hurriedly.

So the people went to the other side.

As the sun grew, there were more and more people in the bazaar.

"Sell sugar gourds, fragrant and sweet sugar gourds! A string only costs two pennies! ”

"Eggs are cheap! A penny! ”

"Grandma, how do you sell this dish?"

"Ouch! Which blind person dares to step on your mother......"

Several people were almost dispersed by the crowd, and finally walked into the circle of performance, Bai Mingxuan looked up and laughed out loud.
