Chapter 28: Going to My Sister's House for the New Year

Since the last time he came to the vegetable market, Lin Lu has forgotten how many years have passed, after all, he can't cook, and he doesn't like to hang out in the vegetable market.

The market has been rectified many times, the layout has been different from many years ago, it has become more tidy, there is a dilapidated small supermarket outside the market, there is a rocking car at the door, my mother will spend two dollars when buying vegetables, let him sit in the rocking car and shake it by himself, Dad's father is called grandpa ~~ Dad's mother is called grandma ~~

Now the small supermarket has been demolished and replaced by a fruit store, and all the small shops in the neighborhood have been changed.

Although growing up in a big city, but the changes in the big city, many times the forest road can not be clearly felt, just like everyone has seen the old man, everyone has seen the flowers bloom, but the process of people and the process of flowering, this imperceptible change is quiet, imperceptible, suddenly come back to their senses, only to realize that it has been so long.

If you don't look at the photos, it is difficult for Lin Lu to clearly recall what her mother looked like when she was young, but she remembers that her mother had long hair at that time, and I don't know what year it began, and her mother changed to the classic short hair of his current wife.

Looking at Li Xingruo, who was full of youth and vitality around him, Lin Lu couldn't help but sigh a little, his mother had such a youthful life back then.

The more complex growth experience than his peers seeped into Lin Lu's body, quietly changing him, making him have a more delicate and mature mind.

"It turns out that the market is here, it's quite big!" Li Xingruo curiously looked at the surrounding environment around the market.

"How does it compare with the market over there of Sister Xingruo's house?" Lin Lu took her from the east gate of the market and walked in, the door was completely open before, and some guard bars were installed at some point, which was probably left over from the previous epidemic prevention, and the various health code travel card processes posted on the wall have not been torn off.

"Well, my house is an ordinary town market, it is more appropriate to say that it is a market, there are a lot of stalls outside, but the real market is not big inside."

"The bazaar must be livelier, right?" Lin Lu said curiously.

"It used to be very lively, there were a lot of people when I was in the market, the streets were narrow, there were pedestrians and motorcycles everywhere, but now it is much more deserted, the young people in the town have gone to the big city, and there are not many young people in the town at ordinary times, but when it comes to the New Year, people who go to other places will come back, and it will be very lively at that time! There are stalls selling couplets, selling New Year's goods, and paper treasures, incense, candles, and fireworks. ”

"That's just the opposite, it's usually quite lively, but the city is very deserted during the Chinese New Year, there are few cars on the street, there are few people, and it's quiet."

"What about you?"

"Me?"

The children in the city have few New Year's activities, like his family situation, the New Year is even more boring, Chinese New Year's Eve have a meal at home, on the first day of the new year, he followed his mother and sister to his stepfather's house to pay a New Year's greeting, on the second day of the new year, he went to his mother's house to pay a New Year's greeting, and on the third day of the new year, he went to his father's place to pay a New Year's greeting......

He can go anywhere, but except for his own home, he is a little uncomfortable everywhere on Lin Road, and gradually, if it is not necessary, he simply does not go to pay New Year's greetings, and takes his sisters to play by himself, so that his mother and Uncle Wen can deal with it.

"I'm bored, too." Lin Lu didn't explain much.

"That's right."

Li Xingruo nodded, also remembering his situation, so he smiled casually: "Then when you have the opportunity, you come to my town to play, and my sister will take you to set off fireworks!" ”

"Sister Xingruo, don't lie to me, I'm very simple, if you are invited, I will really go this year! The town of Wutong in Liangxi, right! Lin Lu said with a serious face.

“……”

Why don't you play according to the routine! You shouldn't be polite and say next time!

“…… Come! Definitely not kidding you! ”

"Sounds a little reluctant?"

"No, no."

"Sister Xingruo, where will I stay after I go?"

“…… My home! Lots of room! ”

"Sister Xingruo, you are so good."

I don't know if it's this extraordinarily sweet 'Sister Xingruo', or Lin Lu's irresistible juvenile smile, Li Xingruo lowered his head a little shyly when he heard this, and he actually felt a little itchy and unbearable feeling in his heart, is this a wrong reaction?

"Haha, didn't you say it, if you need help, just look for your sister!" Li Xingruo gently pulled the hair from her ears with her fingers, and said in a big sister's style.

"But if I go to Sister Xingruo's house for the New Year, my uncle and aunt won't think I'm the person you're talking to, right?"

“……?!”

Seeing that Li Xingruo was stunned, and there was a nervous appearance that he was seriously thinking about countermeasures, Lin Lu couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'm scaring you!" If I go, I'll wear my uniform! ”

“…… Right! You're wearing your school uniform! My mom and dad won't get me wrong! ”

The little girl suddenly realized that this was really a good idea.

Regardless of whether Li Xingruo was joking or not, Lin Lu didn't plan to really go, but it did feel quite heartwarming at this moment.

The market at 6 o'clock in the evening is different from that in the morning, and the crowd of people who come to buy groceries is basically young and middle-aged, most of whom have just finished work, and there are more housewives and elderly people in the morning market.

Lin Lu didn't know how to buy vegetables and cook, so he had to be a tool man who carried vegetables, followed Li Xingruo, and watched her go grocery shopping.

"Girl, come and see this dish, it's all fresh! I just got transferred in the afternoon! ”

"Girl, I want some big bones, no, it's good to make soup for your brother! Lad goes to high school, right? Give him a good make-up! ”

"Grab some prawns, girl? Alive! Sold forty in the morning, thirty-nine for you now! ”

The stall owners are also more enthusiastic than in the morning, after all, the market is almost closed, and some meat and vegetables are a little cheaper than in the morning, but don't underestimate these few cents, many people still rely on this discount to live.

Li Xingruo also found it interesting to hear it, and said to Lin Lu with a smile: "They really treat you as my brother!" ”

"Why don't I take off my uniform?"

"Don't! Otherwise, I won't take you with me. Li Xingruo hurriedly stopped.

"It seems that Sister Xingruo enjoys the feeling of having a younger brother to help carry the vegetables."

"It's okay~"

Walking to a pork stall, Li Xingruo bent down, lifted the soft long hair next to his ears with one hand to prevent the hair from getting dirty on the counter, and picked up the clip on the countertop with the other hand, picking and picking a few pieces of meat and ribs, occasionally getting a little closer and smelling the smell of meat, looking very professional.

"It's all fresh! Don't worry, girl! ”

"How do you sell this foreleg meat and ribs?"

"Seventeen front leg meat, twenty-eight ribs, and two dollars more expensive in the morning!"

Now the market price is transparent, generally not to buy a lot, the boss will not bargain, Li Xingruo thought for a while, then picked up the picked meat aside, and the proprietress took it to the scale.

"Twenty-six yuan plus fifty plus thirty, girl, you can give fifty-six yuan!"

"Thank you, boss, that rib helped me chop it into small pieces, a little smaller, not too big."

"No problem!"

That's all it takes to buy vegetables in the south, even if it's five yuan of meat, the boss will happily sell it to you, not to mention chopping the ribs, and it's no problem to let the boss help slice eight portions of meat and stir two portions into filling.

"Will you buy too much? You can't finish it at once......" Lin Lu couldn't help, so he had to stand beside her.

"No, there is a refrigerator, buy it back and put it away, you don't have to buy it every day."

After all, she usually has to go to work, and Li Xingruo is not sure that she will have time to buy vegetables every time, but it is not good to buy too much at one time, so she calculated that the amount of about two or three days is the most appropriate.

Hmm, it seems that Lin Lu is also included subconsciously, after all, if she just eats it herself, this meat is used to fry a side dish or something, and she has no problem eating it for a week.

"Come, girl."

"Give it to me."

The proprietress put the meat in a bag, and Lin Lu took the initiative to come over as a tool man to pick up the vegetables and took the bag from the proprietress in her hand.

"Is this your brother? Sister and brother, this gene is okay! Looks good enough! ”

"Yes, the proprietress is so accurate in looking at people~!"

Li Xingruo laughed wickedly, it was a good feeling to have a vegetable picker and bodyguard named 'Brother'.
