Ling Xia and Aunt Li bought a bundle of leeks, and then continued to squeeze forward slowly, and then bought a handful of celery, and Chinese cabbage does not need to be bought, ordinary people will grow a lot of it at home, enough to eat for more than a year.
When they came out of the place where the vegetables were concentrated, Ling Xia and Aunt Li had more lotus roots and cucumbers in their hands, and whenever the Chinese New Year came, fresh vegetables were always very expensive, and the price could even be several times higher than usual, and such an inconspicuous vegetable had already cost a lot of money.
But there's no way, it's the New Year, it's just once a year, and you can't save it anyway.
When I turned to the other street, the scene changed completely, and it was full of clothes and shoes, rows of clothes hanging on shelves in the open air, colorful and beautiful, and makeshift sheds one after another.
Because everyone has to wear new clothes during the Chinese New Year, so now the business on every stall is so hot that the people who sell clothes are busy, and the time to make the most money is now all year round.
Aunt Li pointed to the front and said to Ling Xia, "I'll go over and buy a pair of shoes for my old Li, will you follow over and have a look or wait here?" ”
Ling Xia looked at Dongzi's slightly shabby clothes at this time, and said to Aunt Li: "I won't go, I want to buy clothes for Dongzi, and I will meet at the intersection over there." ”
Aunt Li said: "Okay, don't run around when the time comes, be careful of getting lost." ”
After Aunt Li left, Dongzi reached out and pulled her arm: "Sister, you don't need to buy me clothes, it's not like I can't wear them." ”
Ling Xia looked at him, and then looked at the clothes on her body, which He Jibei gave her at Christmas, originally she thought that these clothes were not too expensive, but now, she felt a deep sense of guilt, more than a thousand yuan of clothes were worn on her body, but her dear brother was not even willing to buy a piece of clothing for dozens of yuan.
She despised herself deeply.
She looked at Ling Dong, who was already up to her chin, because he was starting to grow taller, but his nutrition couldn't keep up, so his little face was extremely thin.
Ling Xia felt very uncomfortable, although she had started to make money, she would send a sum of money back to her family every month, although it was not a lot, but it was enough for them to improve their lives, after all, in this small mountain village, things were not too expensive. But she knew that her grandmother was reluctant to spend it, and she put away every penny and saved it well, for fear that when she would run out of money in the future, she was afraid that she had not touched the money she sent back.
She pulled Ling Dong and said to him a little fiercely: "My sister wants to buy it for you, if you want it, it won't cost much, come here, you can take a good look, which one you like better?" ”
Ling Dong timidly glanced at the clothes on the shelf, and then whispered: "Sister, I really don't need it, I don't need it, you can save money to go to school, you always use it a lot outside." ”
Ling Xia stretched out his hand and stroked his hair, and softened his breath: "Dongzi, I said to buy it for you, you can go and take a look, my sister will earn more money in the future, the hard days have passed, and in the future, my sister will take you and grandma to the city to buy clothes, and you will be dressed beautifully." ”
After saying that, she pulled him to a stall selling clothes and looked carefully, these clothes were very poorly made, and the style was not good enough, but it was good that the stall in the town could be like this, and she tried to find a few of them that were okay for Dongzi to try.
Dongzi and Ling Xia look very similar, they are both very good-looking, so they won't look ugly in anything, these slightly rough new clothes on the body, Ling Dong looks like a handsome little guy, very good looking.
Ling Xia nodded with satisfaction: "It's really worthy of my younger brother, he looks good in any dress, so he wants this, right?" ”
Ling Dong didn't have any opinions, it was already a luxury for him to have new clothes, he originally wanted to refuse, he didn't want Ling Xia to buy it for him, but he was afraid that she would scold him, so he kept his mouth shut and didn't speak.
Of course, subconsciously he wants new clothes, although he is sensible, he doesn't care if he wants these things, but a child, or has no ability to resist new clothes, just ask, who doesn't want to wear a beautiful start to school?
Although he said that he didn't care, but every year at the beginning of the winter vacation, everyone was comparing new clothes with each other, but he didn't, he could only pretend not to care about those, but there was inevitably a faint sense of inferiority in his heart.
Ling Xia bought him a pair of pants and a blouse, then looked at his somewhat dirty cotton jacket, frowned slightly, and bought him a thick sweater, and was about to take him there to buy shoes again, when he suddenly heard an unfamiliar voice in the noisy crowd-
"Xiaxia, Dongzi, are you coming to the market?"
Ling Xia turned around in response and saw a man in his thirties greeting them through the crowd, his eyes narrowing with a smile.
She was stunned, who was this person, she had obviously never seen it, but she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Ling Dong beside him stretched out his hand to greet him and shouted loudly: "Fifth uncle, you are also here to buy things, have you all done the New Year's goods?" Are you coming back for Chinese New Year this year? ”
It turned out that this person was the fifth uncle Ling Yunxiao, she had never seen him once, but he looked very similar to her deceased father, no wonder she looked at him familiarly.
Ling Yunxiao walked up to them and said to Ling Xia first: "Xia Xia has become a big girl in a blink of an eye, is it still used to going to school outside?" ”
Ling Xia nodded: "It's okay, there's nothing unaccustomed." ”
Then he said to Ling Dong: "The little guy has grown a lot this year, I won't go back to my hometown for the Chinese New Year this year, I just bought a house in the town, it's very spacious, everyone will come here for the New Year this year, there is an old house not far away, our family can also fit it, you go home and discuss it with grandma, see if it's good." ”
Ling Dong was a little embarrassed and said: "I'm afraid grandma won't agree, you forgot, last year, the third uncle wanted to come to his house for the New Year, but grandma didn't agree yet." ”
Ling Yunxiao said: "My mother is sometimes too stubborn, how comfortable it is to come to the town for the New Year." ”
Ling Dong said like a little adult: "Fifth uncle, grandma is not stubborn, it's just that you don't usually go back to see her, that is, she celebrates her birthday, August 15 and New Year's holidays, you will go home, she raised you, of course, I hope to see you more, although you are very busy with work, but, grandma, she really misses you, although she usually doesn't say anything, but I often see her holding your photos and looking at them vigorously, and when I see the end, I can't help crying." ”
Hearing his words, Ling Yunxiao's face was a little unnatural, after all, he was the youngest child in the family, and his mother loved him the most, and he was never willing to eat anything delicious, but he was left to him, and he worked hard for him to study in a junior college, and after graduation, he was assigned a good job.
But what about then?
After the exam, work, marriage, and children, gradually, he was estranged a lot from the original home, knowing that his mother had a difficult life, but he never refused to help her, even if he helped, he had to bear the white eyes of his daughter-in-law when he went home, and over time, he was content not to take care of his mother, only to go back to see it during the New Year's holidays, and bring some chicken, duck and fish to express it.
Later, he didn't even want to go back to that dilapidated home, the mountain village was so dilapidated, nothing was convenient, he had to use a stove for heating, he would choke people to death if he didn't get it right, and it was inconvenient to go to the toilet, in short, he already had some disgust there.
After Ling Dong's words, Ling Yunxiao felt very unhappy in his heart, so he said, "Do you still want to buy something?" I'll buy something and take it home, and I'll go home with you." ”
Ling Dong said: "Fifth uncle, you are usually so busy, and the fifth aunt will be worried, anyway, it is almost the New Year, and it is not too late to go back then." ”
Ling Yunxiao waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay to be idle today anyway, I'll go back." ”
In the final analysis, this Ling Yunxiao still has some conscience, just because after marrying a daughter-in-law and having a child, he can't take care of the family, and over time, he gradually forgets that there is an old man at home who needs to be taken care of, and he doesn't go back for a long time.
At this time, Aunt Li, who had bought shoes for Lao Li, also came over, she looked at Ling Yunxiao, and said with some surprise: "Oh, it's the fifth child, I haven't seen you for a long time, today your mother asked me to bring these two children to the market, but I didn't expect to run into you." ”
Ling Yunxiao said to her: "Hello Sister-in-law Li, she has been very busy at work, so she has less time to see Sister-in-law Li, how are you doing lately?" ”
Aunt Li said, "Okay, very good, have you finished shopping?" ”
Ling Yunxiao said: "I want to go home today, don't you haven't bought anything yet, I'll buy some New Year's goods for my mother to bring back later, and I'm just going back to the village with you." ”
For the rest of the day, the four of them swept around the market, each with a lot of things in their hands, and finally when the sun was a little westerly, they returned with a full load.
Of course, Ling Xia didn't pay any more money later, it was all bought by the fifth uncle, saying that it was bought for his mother, so how could Ling Xia be allowed to pay.
When I got home, my grandmother heard a voice and walked out of the house, and before anyone arrived, the voice came out first: "Are you back?" I'll see what you've bought. ”
Then, she walked out, and when she saw Ling Yunxiao walking in front, her whole body paused, and she said very unexpectedly: "Old Five, why do you have time to come?" ”
Ling Yunxiao lifted the things in his hand, and then said, "Mother, it's almost the New Year, I'm afraid that you will lack things here, so I bought some New Year's goods and sent them over, and bought you new clothes." ”
When grandma heard this, she was a little moved, and she thought to herself, when did this son have such a conscience? still thinking about whether she lacks things here, he patronized his small family a few years ago.
Ling Xia and Ling Dong hurriedly let Ling Yunxiao into the house, and then left him here for dinner, but unexpectedly, he said, "I came here today to send something to my mother, anyway, it's almost the New Year, so come back then." ”
Grandma didn't follow and said: "It's not close to the town, you have to walk half an hour to take the car, and then it takes more than half an hour to take the car. ”
Ling Yunxiao said: "I didn't say a word to Meimei before I came here, I came out in a hurry, and I didn't bring my mobile phone, so I'm afraid she will worry." ”
Grandma said: "The neighbor has a phone, you used to use it, and finally came to visit, so you are in such a hurry to leave?" ”
As soon as Ling Yunxiao was about to say something more, Ling Xia took out his mobile phone from his pocket and handed it to him: "Fifth Uncle use my beating, tell Fifth Aunt so that she won't worry." ”
Ling Yunxiao glanced at her and found that she was looking at him with a smile, as if she could see through what he was thinking, and at this time, he suddenly realized that the little girl who used to always drag her nose and run had grown up unconsciously.
