Chapter 231: Shopping
Kowtow this kind of thing, Yu Jingze won't join in the fun.
Bo Zhong and the others kowtowed, and Aunt Lin also gave a red envelope, look at this, touch that, I feel very distressed, although there is no blood relationship, but I feel hundreds of times closer than my relatives!
Lin Yue came out with candy and entertained them.
Shu Yu smiled and stretched out his hand to him: "Little uncle, Happy New Year, bring the red envelope!" β
Lin Yue laughed: "You little ghost! You're the smartest! "The New Year's red envelope is an auspicious picture, although he doesn't have much money in his hand, but he is ready, and he will take it out at this time to give his brother and sister a few points.
Yu Jingze also took out a big red envelope and handed it to Aunt Lin with both hands, "Auntie, thank you for the care you gave to these five children and elders, I am a layman, I can't come up with anything good, these are not much, you always take them to buy two sets of new clothes to wear." β
Aunt Lin excused herself in every possible way, and Yu Jingze tightened her face, "Are you looking down on me?" β
Aunt Lin had no choice but to accept it.
A group of people were lively here for a while, and Aunt Lin sent them away with a smile: "Okay, you guys go out for a walk, you don't have to accompany me, an old woman, and come back at noon to come over for dinner later." β
Bo Zhong said yes and led a few small ones out.
Yu Jingze also got up, "I'm not worried, I have to follow and watch." β
Lin Yue sent them out of the gate before turning around and going back to help the old lady prepare lunch together.
Not long after doing this, Yuan Ning and Su Heting came over, Su Heting tore off his beard while entering the gate, and asked Yuan Ning to see if there was anything inconsiderate.
Yuan Ning said with a smile: "It's already very good-looking!" β
Su Heting pulled his clothes, lest he be said to be old, because there were already many passers-by pointing at them along the way, but their intimate attitude was not like a father and daughter at all......
Aunt Lin couldn't close her mouth happily when she saw them coming, Yuan Ning led Su Heting and kowtowed to Aunt Lin, and didn't ask for a red envelope, "We are all married, we are adults, so we don't want this." β
They also brought a lot of things over, bacon, cured meat, bacon and bacon and fish. There are also some refreshments.
Aunt Lin said angrily: "Then don't send me anything in the future." β
"That's different!" Yuan Ning stood up with Su Heting's outstretched hand, "You are grandma, we should honor you." That's it, I'm too little to take! β
Lin Yue was a little cramped on the side, alas, this niece and son-in-law is the county master, and he has to salute when he sees him on weekdays, but today he ......
Aunt Lin looked left and right, and said with a smile: "Ah Yue, according to the seniority, you are an elder, but in the yamen, you are a subordinate, so let's do it, you can see the courtesy." β
Lin Yue looked at Su Heting, Su Heting smiled and arched his hand at him: "Little uncle." β
Lin Yue blushed in embarrassment, and didn't know whether to agree or not.
A few people sat and talked for a while, and Aunt Lin urged them to go out: "You two have a rare day to stop throughout the year, take advantage of the Chinese New Year to go out for a walk, and come over for dinner later, those small ones, I also instructed them." β
Yuan Ning has not really been in a relaxed mood since he crossed over, and he has gone to the street for a purpose before, either with Ji Xiu, and his heart is always hanging.
So her interest in shopping is also very high.
The two got up to say goodbye to Aunt Lin's mother and son, Su Heting re-disguised, and the two went to the street.
In fact, the streets on the first day of the Lunar New Year are not lively, and the pedestrians who come and go are all purposeful: New Year's greetings.
The New Year's goods that should be purchased are all purchased before the year, and the gifts that should be brought to visit relatives and friends have been prepared for a long time, so there are few vendors buying things on the street.
That is, there are more snacks to sell, after all, this is a rare day of the year when children can spend money freely.
The vendor who walked through the streets and alleys selling sugar gourds with straw handles shouted in a long voice: "Rock sugar gourdβcrisp and sweet rock sugar gourdβ"
Su Heting looked down at the girl walking beside him, "You must rarely eat this kind of thing, right?" β
Yuan Ning thought about it, he had eaten it a long time ago, and there were many types of rock sugar gourds on his side, not only hawthorn, but also various fruits.
Even if it is a kind of hawthorn, it is divided into several categories, almost all of which are cut from the core, with bean paste in the middle, chocolate, orange petals, and simply processed hawthorn into flat slices.
The taste is good, and the price is beautiful.
But when she got here, she really hadn't eaten once, so she nodded thinking about it.
Su Heting called out to a vendor selling rock sugar gourds and chose two large strings.
The hawker vigorously promoted: "My rock sugar gourd is a family handicraft, you can see that this rock sugar is thin and translucent, and it is crunchy when you take a bite!"
"The red in this mountain is also carefully selected, and there are no bad beans!"
"Then don't be in a hurry to leave, let's taste it first, if it's really delicious, let's buy a few more skewers, there are many children at home." Su Heting first gave two strings of money and handed one of the strings of sugar gourds to Yuan Ning.
Yuan Ning took it and took a bite, the yellowish rock sugar had a sweet fragrance, it was really crispy, and the hawthorn was not too sour, it was very refreshing to freeze in the cold wind for so long.
She narrowed her eyes and nodded at Su Heting.
Su Heting looked at the straw handle on the peddler's shoulder, "That's it, we want the whole handle, how much do you say." β
The hawker was overjoyed, there were few people on the street on the first day of the new year, he was looking for children everywhere, and he originally planned to sell out on this day, but who knew that he would meet such a big customer.
He said the price, and Su Heting gave the money, paid an extra five cents in a tip, and asked him to send it to the Lin family.
The peddler happily ran away with the straw handle.
The husband and wife continued to walk forward while nibbling on a sugar gourd.
Yuan Ning looked at the bluestone slab under his feet and asked, "This is what you laid after you came?" "It doesn't look old.
Su Heting bowed, "The previous roads were all in tatters, and after the bandits, I transported all the bluestone slabs in the bandits' nest to the city and re-paved the road." β
Although Tianqing County is slowly recovering, the houses on both sides of the road are still very old, and even the houses of the leading figures are some years old.
In those years, no one dared to show their wealth, even if they married their daughters-in-law and daughters, no one dared to publicize them.
Now that the days are better, the street scene doesn't look a little good.
Yuan Ning remembered the previous city lighting project, so he suggested: "If there is money in the treasury, you can help these people repair the house, and then find paint to help paint the wall, it will look much better."
"It would be better if every household planted some vigorous plants and flowers in front of and behind the house. Tianqing County may become a small garden town. β
