Chapter 289: Struggling

Following.

It's not dawn yet.

Little Aning knocked on the door.

Although they were mentally prepared to get up early, Qian Yong and the four of them were still confused for a while.

It took a while to sober up.

"When can't you sell spurges, why do you get up so early."

Sun Chao yawned and complained.

Xiao Aning said: "If you go late, you won't be able to sell it." ”

With such a little prickly melon, even if they are all sold, how much silver can they be sold.

Not even a glass of wine he drinks on a regular day is enough, as for this so early.

Sun Chao thought so in his heart, but he didn't say so.

After living in Liji Village for half a month, he is no longer the teenager who didn't eat minced meat.

He is well aware that it is extremely difficult for the villagers here to support themselves.

It's not uncommon to get up early and go to the market to sell vegetables just to earn a few cents.

"There are four bags of prickly melons, we each carry one bag, Xiao Aning, you lead the way in front!"

Qian Yong rubbed his eyes a few times and spoke.

"Okay."

The other three teenagers didn't say anything more, nodded, carried the thorn melon on the ground, and followed Xiao Aning in a certain direction.

The period before dawn was the darkest, and it was not an exaggeration to say that the five fingers could not be seen, and if it weren't for the four teenagers walking together, it would inevitably be shocking in their hearts.

"Little Aning, without us, how did you sell melons before?"

Sun Chao followed behind Xiao Aning and asked curiously.

Xiao Aning didn't take anything, he felt very relaxed, and the whole person looked very happy, jumping up and down: "It's all Eye with E, carrying a bag of melons on his forehead, and Eye carrying three bags." ”

Put it before.

When Xiao Aning said this, the four teenagers must have scoffed when they heard it.

With such a heavy thorn melon, can you carry a little doll the size of a half?

And the old man who looks skinny and bones, can carry three bags?

How can it be!

However, after getting along day and night for half a month, they know better than anyone else.

Xiao Aning didn't lie, she can indeed carry such a heavy thing!

Qian Yong and the four of them had been curious about this for a long time.

Xiao Aning's thin body, where did such a powerful force burst out.

In the end, there was no answer.

"It's not easy."

Sun Chao looked at Xiao Aning who was bouncing in front of him and let out a sigh.

He thought of himself, from childhood to adulthood, he was clothed and fed, and he stretched out his hand and opened his mouth to eat, and even wherever he went, someone carried him, otherwise it was a carriage.

Even so, he often felt that he was suffering and had a temper tantrum with his parents and elders.

And Xiao Aning, as long as he has something to eat and can do less work, he can cheer.

Her happiness came so simply, just a little less suffering.

However, you must know that she is only a half-old child now, and she should be carefree at an age.

Sun Chao thought so and fell silent.

The other three teenagers were also silent.

Obviously, at this moment, they all had the same idea as Sun Chao.

Minutes and seconds passed.

The sky was getting brighter.

Xiao Aning picked a few red wildflowers from the side of the road, stuck them in the hair of the four teenagers, and giggled.

The four teenagers looked at the wildflowers on each other's heads, and they all smiled.

A ray of morning light shone from the sky.

Looking into the distance, you can see that the morning sun is slowly rising.

Sun Chao looked at the rising sun in the distance in a daze, and his heart was greatly shocked.

After living for so many years, it was the first time that he had discovered that the sky was so beautiful in the early morning.

At this moment, thousands of emotions surged from the bottom of my heart.

He had the idea of letting time stand still forever in this moment.

In addition to him, the other three teenagers also felt a long-lost sense of satisfaction.

Obviously still hungry, still doing this work, there are all kinds of unknown bird calls in my ears, and mosquito bites that can't be avoided.

But they just feel happy, they just feel satisfied.

In such a beautiful atmosphere, even the resentment of the original Fang Xiu has dissipated a lot.

It's a pity......

That feeling didn't last long.

Half an hour later.

The tired teenagers finally couldn't help it and asked, "Little Aning, how long do you have to go?" ”

Xiao Aning said: "After walking for more than an hour, it will almost be there." ”

I've been walking for more than half an hour, and I have to walk for another hour!

Just to sell four bags of stinging melons?

Could it be that in the nearby market, the prickly melon can't be sold?

Qian Yong frowned and said, "Isn't there a market nearby?" ”

Xiao Aning said: "Yes! Eye took him to it once before, and he also bought a string of sugar gourds for him. ”

"Then why don't you sell it there? To run that far? ”

Sun Chao followed up and raised the question in his heart.

Xiao Aning was slightly stunned when he heard this question.

The little head thought for a long time, shook his head, and said, "I don't know, anyway, I go to Wangji Town to sell melons." ”

When Qian Yong heard this, he didn't know what to say for a while.

Although they didn't know why the old man had to travel so far to sell melons, they definitely wouldn't do it.

"Little Aning, let's not run so far, where is the nearest market, you take us there, sell the melons early, and go back to your father as soon as possible to help."

Qian Yong quickly made a decision, looked at Xiao Aning, and said so.

When Xiao Aning heard this, he hesitated.

After all, in the past, everything was sold in Wangji Town, and it was never before that I went to the nearby market.

"Don't worry, it's just four bags of prickly melons, it's the same wherever it is sold, just sell it at the nearby market."

Qian Yong saw Xiao Aning hesitating, and spoke again to persuade.

After struggling for a long time, Xiao Aning finally nodded and said, "Okay, listen to you." ”

"Lead the way."

"Hmm."

Little Aning turned around and walked ahead.

Qian Yong and the four followed.

After two or three sticks of incense.

Under the guidance of Xiao Aning, Qian Yong and the four of them came to a small market.

Vendors set up stalls along both sides of the road, selling everything from to side.

The sound of shouting is endless, adding a bit of lively atmosphere to the place.

It's not the first time for Xiao Aning to come to the market, but every time she comes, she feels very excited, and she doesn't come to the market to eat good things.

In fact, she has followed her father to the market so many times, and she has only eaten a bunch of sugar gourds so far, and the taste, she has always remembered until now, is very sweet.

The reason why I am excited is that I can see new things that I can't see in the village.

For example, the hairpin for girls, and some novel gadgets, such as masks made of unknown things, and the little old man who pinched candy.

Once, she stood in front of someone's stall and watched people pinching candy, and she was stunned for half an hour, and she didn't even move.

Although it is only a small market, everything here still makes this little Aning, who grew up in the village since he was a child, and can be happy for a long time with less work, feels extremely novel.

"I didn't expect that there is a market in this place, but it looks a little smaller."

Sun Chao carried the thorn melon, walked on the road, and looked around curiously.

It was the first time he had seen such a market, and he thought it was very interesting.

"Where there are people, there is a market, this is an inevitable thing, this neighborhood is not next to the county seat, let alone next to the city, the villagers spontaneously organize the market, it is normal."

Liu Bin, who was obsessed with the way of businessmen, stood up and explained.

"I see."

Sun Chao nodded, feeling that what he said was reasonable.

"Don't talk, find a good position to occupy, we have to find a way to sell these four bags of melons!"

Qian Yong opened his mouth to remind.

In Chang'an, although he spends extravagantly, his character is okay, he never bullies others, and he will not stumble others behind his back.

Coming here, his personality has not changed much.

Therefore, the other three were also willing to listen to him.

"Okay, listen to you, Brother Qian!"

Another teenager, that is, Qian Yong's dogleg, was busy echoing.

Although the other two teenagers did not echo, they also listened to him and began to look for a suitable position.

After half a stick of incense, several people finally found a suitable position.

Before the first buyer came to the door, I saw several strong men with big shoulders and round waists coming up.

"Where did you guys come from, you don't allow stalls here, do you know?"

When Qian Yong heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he wanted to say: Where did Lao Tzu come from and have a fart relationship with you! And why not set up a stall!

Before he could say anything, he heard Sun Chao on the side say, "Aren't they all gone." ”

Sun Chao said as he pointed to the others.

The strong man in the lead sneered and said, "Everyone has paid the money, what about your money!" ”

"You have to pay money to set up a stall outside the city, where is there such a thing in the world!"

Sun Chao was stunned at first, and then said indignantly.

When the leading strong man heard this, his expression changed a little, he glanced up and down at Sun Chao and the four of them, frowned, and asked: "Where did you come from, looking at your fine skin and tender meat, you look like the son of a big family, what kind of prickly melons are you selling here." ”

"You are not qualified to know our identity!"

Qian Yong's eyes did not have the slightest fear, and his tone was flat.

The leading strong man glanced at him and said coldly:

"To tell you the truth, this piece of land is mine, and you want to set up a stall? OK! Don't put it on my ground!

Today I have already reminded you that if you dare to set up a stall here next time, even if I beat you up, I will take advantage of it when you arrive at the Yamen! ”

After speaking, the leading strong man took a few people and wandered elsewhere.

The four teenagers glanced at each other, and they could all see the solemnity in each other's eyes.

They know it in their hearts.

The strong man in front of him let them go, but he didn't want to cause trouble.

If they dare to set up a stall here, they are afraid that they will provoke a severe beating.

"Brother Yong, what should I do next?"

Sun Chao looked at Qian Yong and asked.

Qian Yong was silent for a few breaths, looked at Xiao Aning, and asked, "Are there any other markets around here?" ”

Xiao Aning thought for a while and nodded: "There is another one." ”

"Take us there."

"Good!"

Thereupon.

Xiao Aning and the four teenagers left here with the thorn melons on their backs.

It's time for another stick or two of incense.

The four of them came to another market, not too far away.

It's even bigger than the previous bazaar.

Liu Bin quickly found a suitable position.

After setting up the prickly melon, the four of them sat there quietly, waiting for someone to come and buy it.

Minutes and seconds passed.

After a stick of incense, no one came to ask the price, and no one even looked here.

Liu Bin sat in place, looking at the passers-by coming and going, and the whole person was a little trance.

He really didn't understand why no one asked the price of so many passers-by.

Could it be that all the people around here don't eat thorn melons?

"We don't have any problems with this thorn melon, right? Why doesn't anyone buy it? ”

After another stick of incense, Liu Bin finally couldn't help but ask.

The other three teenagers, plus a little Aning, all had the same idea.

Why didn't anyone buy it?

Just as they were puzzled, a voice came from beside them.

"Every family in our area grows thorn melons, who do you think you plan to sell this little thorn melon to?"

As soon as this remark came out.

Qian Yong and the four of them were all stunned.
