70: Arrival
"Okay, there is hot water in the pot, go fetch water to wash your face and feet, go to bed early today, get up early tomorrow and go to the town, it's late and there are a lot of people in the town, and everything has been bought."
It was already dark when he returned home from the old mansion, and in addition to setting the day when he was in the old mansion, Erlin also talked a lot to Old Man Ding, and they were very happy.
After Wang finished speaking, he went to feed the pigs, the pigs at home have not been fed yet, although they will be killed in two days, but they must also be fed, maybe they can grow some meat in these two days.
When she finished feeding the pigs, the brother and sister hadn't gone to sleep yet, so she asked them, "Why don't you go to sleep yet, don't you want to go to town tomorrow?" ”
"We're going, we're going to sleep."
"We're going, just thinking about what delicious food my mother will buy tomorrow."
The brother and sister said one after the other.
"Why do you think so much, hurry up and go to bed, if anyone can't get up tomorrow, I won't take him there."
"Let's go to sleep."
When the brother and sister heard this, they immediately dispersed and went back to their houses to sleep.
Wang smiled in the moonlight, and went to fetch water to wash before returning to the house.
"Why haven't you slept yet?"
Xin'er still slept with them when she was young, and Wang asked her when she saw that Xin'er was still with her eyes open.
"Mother, I can't sleep."
"What's wrong?"
"I can't sleep at the thought of going to the town to buy something, mother, you said that there are not many people in the town tomorrow, is there a lot of delicious food?"
Xin'er is young after all, and when she thinks of going to town, she thinks of those delicious foods.
"There must be a lot of people in the town, so you must be obedient when the time comes, this is the New Year, there are many more people in the town than on weekdays, and there are more flowers, if you get lost, you won't be able to find your parents, you know?"
"I know Mother, I will be obedient and obedient and follow you will not run 'messy', I don't want to leave you."
Xin'er was a little scared and hugged one of Wang's hands and said.
"Okay, mother knows, then let's sleep obediently."
"Hmm."
After a while, Wang thought she was asleep, and suddenly said in her heart: "Mother, I still can't sleep." ”
"......" Wang Shimo.
"That mother hums a little tune for you." After thinking about it, Wang said to Xin'er.
"Okay, I like the little tune of Niang Hum the most."
"Okay, then you close your eyes."
Xin'er obediently closed her eyes, and when Wang saw it, she began to hum a small tune softly: "Sleep...... Go to sleep...... My good darling......"
With Wang's soft tune, it didn't take long for Xin'er to fall asleep, and Wang covered her with a quilt and slowly fell asleep herself.
The next day, early in the morning, the family went out to town with a basket on their backs.
Originally, a few people wanted to go by ox cart, and the village chief's ox cart would carry people to the town from time to time when the Chinese New Year was approaching.
It's just a pity, today the village chief's family killed pigs, and no one drove the ox cart, so the family walked by themselves.
"Dad, how long are we left, I can't walk."
Xin'er was very excited when she went out, and she walked fast, but she couldn't walk after her excitement was halfway through, and she really walked a long way, and she really couldn't keep up with her age.
"Come, mother's back to you."
Looking at the panting Xin'er, Wang squatted down and let Xin'er climb on her back.
"It's better for me to carry her, you carry her."
Erlin took off the scarf on his back and put it beside Wang, squatted down and put his heart on his back.
Seeing that Erlin had already carried his heart on his back, the Wang family could only pick up the back and put it on his back, and the family continued to hurry.
"It's finally here."
As soon as I arrived in the town, there were already a lot of people on the streets, bustling with people.
At this time, it was still early, and it was about the hour, and the family had not yet eaten breakfast, so Erlin took a few people to a noodle stall and asked for three bowls of somen noodles.
Wang ate a bowl with Xin'er, and after eating the noodles, the family paid for the money before they went shopping.
As time passed, the town became more and more crowded with people.
"Dad, let's go buy the salt first."
After a few people walked around for a while, the Wang family proposed to buy salt, which is something they must buy today, and there are many more people who buy salt during the Chinese New Year.
During the Chinese New Year, many people with good family conditions want to kill pigs, and they will definitely not be able to eat them for a while, and they are more used to marinate bacon and keep it for later.
Erlin: When they arrived at the salt shop, there were several people lined up in front of them, and a few people waited for a while before it was their turn.
"How much?"
The guy at the salt shop didn't look at people and asked directly.
"Three pounds."
Wang handed over the bag of salt he had brought from home, and then handed over the money he had prepared.
Salt is very expensive, one pound costs fifty wen, three catties one hundred and fifty wen, a large bunch.
After buying salt, the family went to buy other things.
This time, they were going to buy all the things for the New Year, and this time the Wang family also brought a lot of money.
Speaking of money, the last time I went to Wang's house, the Wang family gave fifty Wen to Wang Meihua, plus the "medicine" fee paid by Erlin before almost went to the small two hundred Wen, and there was less than one or two left in the family, fortunately, the Wang family did a lot of embroidery work in the winter months, and earned a little more, otherwise they would not necessarily kill pigs this year, and the money of the Ding family's parents has not been repaid.
This time, there were a lot of things to buy, and Wang brought a tael of silver, so he was afraid that he would not have enough money to buy things at that time.
In fact, there is nothing to buy for the New Year, this year Wang is not going to make new clothes, this year's conditions are there, next year.
The family is not short of clothes to wear, just Xin'er has been born in the past two years The family has added two new clothes, plus the old clothes from before are enough to wear, so there is no hurry.
This way, you need to spend less money.
After buying some red paper peanut snacks and the like, the family was ready to go home.
"Mother, wait a minute."
"What for?"
"I said to buy candy for Xin'er, let's go buy two strings of sugar gourds."
"Then let's go together."
"Okay."
Before the Chinese New Year, there were more people selling sugar gourds in the town, and after a few steps, I saw a sugar gourd seller, and I reluctantly took out four pennies from my arms to buy four strings of sugar gourds.
"Na, mother, here you go, Dad, this is for you, na, this is yours."
Youyi gave the sugar gourd he bought to the Wang family.
"Thank you, brother."
Xin'er happily accepted it, but Wang and Erlin put away the sugar gourd.
"Mother, why don't you eat."
"Your father and I don't like to eat it, take this back and you can eat it tomorrow."
"Why don't you like to eat sugar gourds when they are so delicious, you can taste them, they are delicious."
Xin'er handed her sugar gourd to Wang's mouth.
"Mother doesn't eat, you can eat yourself. Okay, the things are also bought, let's go home. Wang tilted his head.
"Okay."
The family walked back with a bag full of things.
Just as Xin'er and the others were walking home, guests also came to Qingshui Town.
"Dad, are you here?"
The carriage stopped suddenly, and the boy in the carriage asked with some excitement.
"Well, here, we'll stay at the inn today." The boy's father also said with some joy.
"It's finally here, I'm about to fall apart."
As he spoke, a boy of five or six years old jumped out of the carriage. Read the latest chapter of "Words Farmhouse Paw Book House" for free for the first time.
