Chapter 31: The Town

Previous Chapter

From the entrance of the village, you enter the mountain path, the mountain road is winding, the path is not wide, and the ox cart staggers on the potholed dirt road.

Along the way, the little bean sprouts sat on He's lap and looked around, curious, but there was nothing to see in this ravine, except for the occasional encounter with one or two villagers who went to the town, on both sides of the mountain road, grass, trees, high and low, staggered, after a while, the little fart child was not interested.

Finally, looking at the wider and wider mountain road, my eyes suddenly opened up, and I hurried to the official road, and the ox cart walked more steadily. Qin Xiaoduo moved, Mom, this ancient means of transportation is really too grinding, her buttocks are numb and painful, she feels that she urgently needs a cushion, and glanced at the little bean sprouts sitting on He's lap faintly, with indescribable envy in her eyes.

Uncle Hu said, this into the official road, not far from the town, at this time has been almost half an hour, the road is more ox carts, are from nearby villages to the town, not to mention pedestrians, three or three, not to mention the general lively!

Several children in the family were attracted by the scene in front of them, some chatted about family life, some played funny, everyone was full of smiles, a new day, a new beginning, always full of hope!

After about half an hour of wandering like this, I finally arrived at Lin'an Town.

The ox cart stopped at the entrance and exit of the town, and the family got out of the car neatly, especially Qin Xiaoduo, if it wasn't for the situation, she would have wanted to rub her buttocks.

Uncle Hu had other things, so he made an appointment for the return trip and left. The rest of the Qin family walked to the town along the flow of people, there were many children in the family, and several adults were holding them one by one, and people came and went, so as not to be scattered by the crowd.

What catches your eye is the vendors on both sides of the road, and there are many roadside stalls outside the town, all of which are villagers near Lin'an Town who pick up some of their own soil and sell them in the town.

The stalls in the town are much neater than those outside, selling vegetables, pork, and eggs...... All kinds of shouts and shouts are endless. Further inside, there are all kinds of shops and vendors selling food, bursts of incense, smelling the smell Qin Xiaoduo swallowed his saliva silently, and deeply doubted where he ate breakfast, and suddenly he was hungry.

Steamed bun shop, noodle shop, pancake stall...... Even the sugar gourd was seen, and now the little bean sprouts were not calm, the little bean sprouts were not calm, the little eyes stared, sniffed, then glanced at his mother, then at his grandmother, and finally collided with his sister.

Qin Xiaoduo: If you want to eat, you can tell your mother!

Little Bean Sprouts: Why don't you say it?

Qin Xiaoduo: Don't you want to eat!

Small bean sprouts: You don't eat it?

After a short eye contact, the two turned their heads silently, the wind was light, and now it was up to them to see who could hold on.

Qin Zuan and Zhou's came to the town this time and were not calm, they were thinking about their third son, and they didn't pay attention to the surrounding situation, so naturally they didn't see the child's miserable gluttony.

Walking in, until a small fork in the road, stopped, Zhou instructed He Shidao, "Your father and I will go to the academy to find your third brother first, you go to hand over the goods first, and then pull some cloth back, it seems that it is winter, and the children's winter clothes will start to be sewn." As for the rest, you look at it, and make up for what is short at home! ”

"Mother, I know!" Although He was curious about why his father and mother were looking for the third brother, he didn't look very good at the second elder's face, and the sensible didn't ask much, and she would naturally know when she knew about it. At the same time, He was also happy for his mother's trust in him.

"Wait under the big tree at the entrance of the town in that hour, you pay attention to the time." After Zhou finished speaking, he and Qin Zu'an went to the academy on another road, and He and Li led the children along the main street, passing by a grain and rice shop, turning a corner, passing through a small narrow alley, and after leaving the alley, they arrived at a spacious street.

This side is more spacious than the street in front, and the decoration of the shops is more exquisite, Qin Xiaoduo thought in his heart, this side should be regarded as the main street of the town, it is the central business district in modern times, there are many shops around, the shops are very large, inns, restaurants, embroidery workshops, these shops are lined up, neat and tidy.

He stopped at the door of an embroidery workshop, Qin Xiaoduo looked up at the door plaque, the three words Linglong Pavilion looked quite magnificent, the façade of the embroidery workshop was quite large, the owner of this shop must be rich, maybe it was still a chain! Qin Xiaoduo's heart kept shattering.

Followed He into the embroidery workshop, it was too early, there were not many customers in the store, and their family was not crowded when they went in, and the shop workers greeted them when they saw the comers, "Aunt He, come and deliver the goods, the shopkeeper is in the back hall, you come with me." After speaking, he took He Shi to the backyard in a hurry.

Qin Xiaoduo and a few people also began to visit the embroidery workshop, the clothes in this embroidery workshop are really complete, from cloth to ready-to-wear, from headdress to shoes and socks.

In the backyard hall, He put all kinds of embroideries embroidered by the family these days on the table, scattered some purse embroidered handkerchiefs, and cloth patterns, so that the shopkeeper Liu could see them one by one.

"Don't talk to me, I've been cooperating for so long, can I still worry about the goods you handed over here!" Shopkeeper Liu finished reading and asked the job to put things away.

"You can't say that, check carefully, we can both feel at ease!" He replied with a smile.

These embroideries were sold for a total of one or two or five dollars this trip, which is the embroidery that the family has saved for several months. In addition to the original family background left by the Qin family, the income over the years is the money from the sale of embroidery and the wages of the two Qin Zifu brothers to work in the town. The family is diligent, so in the case of the child's study, life is okay.

If you want to talk about embroidery, Zhou's embroidery was the best in the neighborhood when he was young, and he has also embroidered in the past two years, but his energy is not as good as before, He and Li also learned a lot, and the best one to learn is Qin Xiaoyi. On weekdays, she also studied with Zhou, and she was very talented, and Zhou was happy to teach her.

He took the money and walked towards the front hall with Shopkeeper Liu.

When Shopkeeper Liu heard that her family was here and was still waiting in the store, he immediately asked, "Do you want to buy some cloth this time?" ”

"It's true, it's cold this weather, and winter clothes should be prepared."

The young man in the back was particularly discerning, and as soon as the shopkeeper waved, he hurriedly stepped forward and enthusiastically told He Shi about the style in the recent shop, "Auntie, what color and style of cloth do you want to buy?" But do you want to buy clothes for your children? Shall I introduce you here? ”
