Wang Guihua was very unwilling in her heart, thought about it and said carefully: "Mom, let Xiaomei go with her, she is a year older than Xiaozhu and Xiao Nian, she has never been to the town, and there happens to be a big brother and sister-in-law, so let her follow to open her eyes." ”

Mother Xu glanced up at her, she knew what her daughter-in-law had in mind.

"Hmm" said, "Go, go, let's go, a few children except for the junior!" ”

Li Yubo was a little embarrassed, "I take so many children alone, and besides, on this cold day, they can't walk, how can they be done?" ”

She doesn't want to take the girl of the second family, and she is reluctant to bring a big one, and now she still wants her to take the small one?

Besides, there are fewer people who go, more money at her disposal, and the two children can eat better.

It's a pity that the old lady was not as good as she wanted, so she thought about it and waved her hand, "Let the second and third children go tomorrow and bring the children to have fun!" As he spoke, he looked at his third daughter-in-law and said meaningfully: "Five yuan, enough for you to spend, just buy some for your sister-in-law to go back to her parents' house tomorrow." It's the New Year, and I don't expect you to give me anything left! ”

The old lady also wanted to open it, the four big fat pigs sold a few days ago, the family received a lot of money, and the boss mailed back the salary, and the family's money was enough to spend.

The New Year is just a fun, the children like it, let them follow to be happy!

Li Yubo was not annoyed that his little caution was seen through, and said with a smile: "Okay, then let the second and third children go, just to help take care of the children." ”

Mother Xu said: "It's not in vain, let them catch a few chickens, sell them, and come back for some money." ”

Li Yubo agreed, so he notified the second and third children to catch chickens.

Xu Lao Er came in with his teeth picked, "Mom, our family is not short of money, and we didn't have much meat left last time, so I kept this chicken and ate it!" ”

Mother Xu raised her eyes and scolded him: "Eat, eat, eat, know how to eat all day long, so many chickens have eaten you, are you defeated?" Xu Lao Er was not annoyed, and approached the old lady and said with a smile: "It's the New Year, you can't eat some meat all year round!" He muttered in a low voice, "It's not that our family can't afford to eat, why do you live so hard?" ”

Mother Xu glared at him and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's not enough to kill two chickens for the New Year!" Do you see who is willing to do it? It's just our family, with your eldest brother's salary, so that you can eat well and be full, don't be content! ”

There are a lot of two chickens, and Xu Lao Er slapped the old lady with a fart, and went out to catch chickens with satisfaction.

Xu Zhenhua walked very fast with Xu Nian in his arms, and Lin Tong couldn't catch up with him if he walked fast, so he could only run away from him by one meter.

Half a mile apart, it was Xu Laosan who was carrying a few tightly tied chickens in his hands, followed by Li Yubo, leading the small pillar in one hand, and running a cheerful iron pillar next to him, and the family was talking and laughing.

A little further back is Xu Lao Er, who has his hands in his sleeves and hums an unknown tune in his mouth, followed by his two daughters holding hands.

Xiaomei walked slowly, Xiaohong pulled her, and followed Xu Lao Er all the way, for fear of being left behind.

Before the end of the year, most of the villagers went to the market in the morning, and now they are in the town. Now walking on the mountain road, except for the three groups of the Xu family, they rarely encounter pedestrians on the road.

By the time Xu Zhenhua and the others walked fast, when they arrived in the town, Daji was already crowded.

Lin Tong had never seen a large rural gathering, and such a lively scene made her surprised and a little excited at the same time.

Lin Tong was surprised and a little puzzled at the same time, "Didn't you say that we are very poor here?" Looking at this level of prosperity, you can't be poor, huh? ”

"It's okay to live in the town, but it's okay to be poor." Xu Zhenhua answered her question, "Besides, it's almost the New Year, every family in the countryside raises some chickens and ducks, and after the New Year, how many selling points are exchanged for money and have a good New Year." ”

Lin Tong nodded when she heard this, her understanding of this era was vague, the descriptions in the novel were not all correct, and the descriptions of her mother and grandmother were only approximate.

She was afraid that individuals were not allowed to do business in this era, but now it seems that large rural gatherings and farmers have been allowed to set up stalls, which is a good thing for her.

In fact, there are usually stalls in the town, and most of them are flexible, there are very few such people, after all, not everyone dares to be the one who eats crabs.

But now that the New Year is approaching, farmers in the nearby villages will sell their own output in exchange for money to buy New Year's goods. No matter how difficult it is, they will also think of changing some money for New Year's goods, and after a hard year, they will have a good New Year, and they are looking forward to a good harvest in the coming year.

What came to sell in the countryside was nothing more than a chicken, or some of his own grain, and there were also homespun cloths woven by the countryside themselves, and Lin Tong was not interested after watching it for a while.

"Xu Zhenhua, let's go buy cloth first."

Xu Zhenhua took the two to the only supply and marketing cooperatives in the town, and there were many people in the supply and marketing cooperatives, especially those selling candy and snacks, as well as the liquor counter, which was full of people.

"Let's buy some candy for Xiao Nian later." Lin Tong twisted his neck to watch the excitement.

"No, they can buy it." Xu Zhenhua took her straight to the counter selling fabrics.

There are more than a dozen counters selling fabrics, but most of the colors are black, blue, and gray. There are also a lot of flower cloths, mainly for rural areas, but Lin Tong doesn't like it.

The cotton jacket she is wearing now is a flower cloth, and she wants to make an external jacket to put on the outside of the cotton jacket, so she chooses and chooses a gray cloth.

Supply and marketing cooperatives can be cut, or they can be done here.

It is not difficult for the original owner to make a shoe and sew a piece of clothing, but it is not possible to cut it.

Lin Tong communicated with the tailoring master for a long time and made a dress with small lapels that was more fashionable at that time, but she insisted on asking the master to add a belt to the back of her waist, so that she could show her thinner figure.

"It's pretty." The old master praised her, "I didn't expect you to be quite discerning, this style is very prosperous in the city, and we really don't do much." "Many people are embarrassed and think that this waist shape is a bit improper.

Lin Tong smiled, "I also see that someone looks good like this." She didn't dare to make too out-of-the-ordinary models, but she really didn't like the kind of waistless fat models, so she could only change it slightly, in fact, the style was somewhat similar to Lenin's outfit, but I didn't expect it to be praised like this.

"Lin Tong, you come to make new clothes!" Lin Tong was talking to the master, and two rural daughters-in-law who were about the same age as her came over, and one of them asked enviously.

The other didn't speak to her, but looked at the man standing aside, and his tone was a little sour, "Oh, Brother Zhenhua, when did you come back?" I heard you're married, right? It's a good fate to marry you! ”
