Thinking of it, Banniang went to the painting case in the house to take the paper, cut it to the size of the palm of her hand one by one, adjusted the gouache on the painting case, and began to draw.

When Qi Niang was done, the hellokitty Banniang also drew six or seven pieces, and Qi Niang showed the one-foot-tall cat lady to Banniang: "See how?" It's not as interesting as your drawing, but I tried my best. ”

Banniang took a look, it really looked like that, although it couldn't be compared with what I bought in the mall before, but Qi Niang made it like this, it was also considered to be full of shapes and spirits, and the handiwork was also very fine.

"It's good-looking, I look back at Xiao Shi, I must like it."

Qi Niang held it in her hand, and she couldn't put it down, and said with a smile: "It's still not as good as the sixth sister's craftsmanship, if she does it, it will definitely not be worse than the one you painted." ”

Banniang said: "Or Qi Niang has time to make another one, didn't my father say that he would go to Linchuan with the fourth brother and the fifth brother?" Go back and let Daddy go a little bit and give it to the sixth sister. ”

Liuniang is alone in the old house in Linchuan with her grandmother, there is only one porter and an old woman, grandmother's incident, most of Liuniang's hands, it is not easy, and the sixth sister is a sensible, when she returned to Nanfeng in the New Year, Qiniang also heard her mention it by chance, and now she also does some embroidery work to sell, so this has always saved a lot of money for the family.

Qi Niang sighed when she thought about it: "The sixth sister is alone with her grandmother in Linchuan, and she is lonely when she thinks about it, how can there be any excitement in the place of brothers and sisters at home?" But she was alone. ”

Liuniang's character is resolute, which is very different from Qi Niang's gentleness and amiability. Probably followed her grandmother since she was a child, and she had to make her own decisions about everything, so she developed such a character, but in the opinion of Banniang, Liuniang's kind is even more appreciative.

"Seventh sister, don't be sad, I'm at home with nothing to do, and I want to go to see my grandmother, don't my parents and brothers praise me for the delicious food I cook? If I take my father's fortune and go to Linchuan, take care of my grandmother for a few days, and make soup for her old man every day, maybe my grandmother's body can be adjusted better. When I turned around, I begged my father to go. Accompanying the sixth sister for a few days like this, she can also be more relaxed. ”

"Well, then you talk to your father, your father usually loves you the most, and he will definitely respond, but it's a pity that my mother is going to give birth, and my sister-in-law is busy with this big family's work, and I have to stay and help her, or I want to go with you."

"It's okay if my sister can't go, and it's not that the sixth sister won't come back, so it's better for you to make another puppet and give it to the sixth sister when the time comes, she will definitely like it too."

The two sisters spoke for a while, and seeing that the sky was dark, as soon as Qi Niang put down the needle money in her hand, she felt the sore milk on her neck, and couldn't help but raise her hand and rub it.

Seeing this, Banniang stepped forward to rub it for her, Qi Niang was amused, and said angrily: "Where is it so tired?" Seeing that it is getting dark, let's go to the front yard to help my sister-in-law make dinner. I ate early, and didn't I have to go to the night market in the evening to buy things for the holidays? ”

The two sisters went to the front yard and entered the kitchen, only to find that Wu had already prepared dinner. Because there are two or three hundred zongzi cooked, in addition to keeping tomorrow's favors, they can also eat a lot at home, so Wu only cooked some porridge and a few pickles in the evening.

The three sisters-in-law hurriedly began to prepare dinner, the porridge was filled with porridge, and the dumplings were filled with zongzi, and they went to the main house with their things, but they found that at some point, the father and the eldest brother and the second brother were talking in the hall. Set up the table, the family ate, because there was nothing to clean up, the Wu family could do a busy job, Banniang had no doubt about agreeing, and their brothers and sisters went to the night market together. The eldest and second naturally wouldn't join in the fun, and Shiro was impatient to go out with a few small ones, and each went back to the house.

Zhu thought that there were still some things to buy, so he took out the copper coin, asked Wulang and Qi Niang to divide it and put it in a brocade bag, tied it around their waists, and the brothers and sisters and two little nephews shook it up the street together.

At this time, Nanfeng City is already lit up, and because there is no curfew, there are more pedestrians on the street than during the day. When I arrived at the night market in the city, I saw that the streets were full of people, with lanterns hanging in front of the houses, and the lights in the shops were bright.

The Northern Song Dynasty of the Zhao Dynasty in history is an era of inheriting the past and opening up the future, the rapid development of material science and technology, the prosperity of foreign trade, the four major inventions have three major inventions, that is, in the Song Dynasty, although Zeng Banniang is not very clear whether the current Great Song Dynasty can be compared with the Song Dynasty in the previous life, but as far as she knows, this firewood room of the Great Song Dynasty is not a little worse than the Northern Song Dynasty of the Zhao Dynasty.

Although Nanfeng is only a small county of Jianchang Army, but Jiangxi is a rich place, I heard the second brother said, the Great Song Dynasty a year's annual tribute, one-third of the Jiangnan Road, Jiangxi is also a famous rich place on Jiangnan Road, the atmosphere is civilized, education is prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

Although Nanfeng is a small county, but the war in the late Tang Dynasty and the five dynasties did not cause disaster, more than 100 years of rest and recuperation, the fields are fat, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the production is extremely abundant, probably because of the reason that it is almost the Dragon Boat Festival, the night market is crowded, wearing gorgeous clothes and hats, or cloth long shirts and hemp and kudzu short shirts, and then there are silk skirts, men and women, old and young, rich and poor, all kinds of people, etc., the network is endless.

There are all kinds of shops on both sides of the street, such as paper shops, candle shops, tooth brushing shops, headscarf shops, powder shops, medicine shops, Qibao shops, white clothes shops, belt shops, iron shops, velvet shops, crown shops, tin shops, light pai shops, cloud ladder silk shoes shops, silk knot shops, flower shops, folding fan shops, green grate fan shops, cage shops, gold shops, head and face shops, green shop, gold paper shops, lacquer shops, gold and silver shops, rhino skin shops, pillow crown shops, bead shops...... Everyone says 360 lines, but there is a Song Dynasty, it is said that there are large and small lines, there are more than 400 lines, which shows how developed the business in the Song Dynasty. Although there is a small fork in the pace of history now, the pace of the times may not have changed much.

In addition to all kinds of merchants, there are also merchants on the street, jugglers, fighting Guan Pu, setting up stalls to tell fortunes, selling all kinds of food, peddling things, all kinds of strange shouting and singing.

Banniang loves to visit the morning market and night market, watching these vivid pictures full of life, and listening to the shouting and singing of the small traders who are strange and soliciting business, and the words must have rhymes, and the content is different. All for the purpose of novelty and attracting people, so as to attract business. Speaking of which, when I ate steamed dumplings in my previous life, I heard my grandfather tell me a joke about the Song people who were guilty of shouting business words.

It is said that there was a dumpling seller during the Shaosheng period of Song Zhezong, and he created a kind of crying voice: "If you lose, you will lose me!" It means that my steamed dumplings are sold cheaply, and I would rather suffer a loss myself, but also let customers get benefits. This shouting sounded like there was nothing out of the ordinary except that he didn't know what he was selling, but the peddler who sold steamed dumplings received a hundred blows of sticks because of this shouting. It turned out that the then queen Meng was abolished and relegated to live in Yaohua Palace outside Jinshuimen.

How did this guy who sells dumplings know this? Every time I walked in front of the door of Yaohua Palace, I put down my burden and sighed, and shouted: "If you lose, you will lose me!" Sighing in front of the deposed queen's residence itself makes people suspect sympathy, and shouting again, "If you lose, you will lose me!" "There is even more of a grievance, and the arresters of Kaifeng Mansion quickly arrested this old man and beat him with a hundred rods. After being beaten, the old man who sold steamed dumplings realized that shouting is not something that can be created casually, but business still has to be done, and it is not okay to do business without shouting, so this old man created a new shout: "Wait for me to put down and rest!" ”

Fortunately, there was no emperor in the Northern Song Dynasty at that time, otherwise "wait for me to put down and rest" would be suspected of having something to do with the emperor letting go of power and retreating to the second line. In this way, this hard-pressed little merchant is not hard-pressed home.

The current Great Song Kingdom is obviously the same, and the night market is constantly shouting and selling.

Every time Banniang thinks of such an allusion, and then listens to those shouts, she always purses her lips and laughs.

But my heart is full of nostalgia.

I don't know what happened to my grandfather and grandmother in my previous life.

They must have been heartbroken by her early death. Or, if you have a good dream at midnight, you can also know that your granddaughter is living hard and happily in a distant time and space?

The street is full of people, the lantern lanterns are hung high in front of the shops, looking and listening, it makes people feel full of fireworks, so lively and prosperous, if you ignore the clothes of the crowd, it is actually back to the time and space that you dream back to night and night.

Wulang took the lead, Banniang and Qijie joined hands in the center, Jiulang and Jue'er pulled Huang'er behind, passing by a place to buy peach branches and willow branches and sunflower Buddha Dao Ai, Qi Niang asked: "Why don't you buy some more?" ”

Banniang shook her head: "Why do you need to buy these again?" When I was in the countryside yesterday, didn't I bring a lot of them back? Because I was afraid of wilting, as soon as I came back yesterday, I let Jue'er still be raised in the water, and when I waited for the fifth day of the new year, I would definitely be able to use it. ”

Qi Niang stopped talking.

Bypassing this load, in front of it is a chicken bus (a kind of unicycle rickshaw, comrades should have seen it on TV, this is an ancient folk common means of transportation), supported by wooden planks on both sides, keeping the body stable, and full of colorful searches, Banniang pulled Qi Niang forward to watch.

On the small chicken bus, there are a lot of dazzling items, and there are all kinds of objects used in the Dragon Boat Festival, and there are some people around.

From time to time, the peddler also shouted loudly, with a crisp voice and interesting words.

Tonight, one is to hang out and play with his brother and nephew, and the other is to buy some items for the festival.

The car is hung with a variety of stripes and clear silk threads embroidered and woven into the "Baisuo" that can be worn or given away, with mugwort leaves cut into a small tiger shape, worn on the head can ward off evil "Ai Hu", with a color cut into a small talisman, worn on the head, inserted in the sideburns hairpin "Fu Zong", there are legends that can be used to treat boils, can poison other pests, embroidered centipedes, worms, snakes, scorpions, grass insects and other ornaments, wear on the body of the "five poison map", the things used, almost all available.
