The tenth day of August

The morning sun is quiet and elegant, the morning light penetrates the window lattice, the cicadas chirp and the birds call, singing softly.

Because I can also follow Sister A to the rally today, Brother got up early with excitement.

In order to earn a few pennies more, he used the careful opportunity of the rural people to sell poultry without a teacher.

Early in the morning, he picked a lot of leaves for the rabbits to eat, and it was better to eat more than less, although the vegetable leaves did not account for much, but it did not prevent him from wanting to sell the rabbits at a good price.

After feeding the rabbits, when he saw that it was almost dark, he ran back to the room and woke up Sister Ah with all his might.

Because of the rally, Song Huan specially asked his brother to get up when he saw him last night, and he was in a hurry rather than late.

At three o'clock, Song Huan was woken up by his brother.

Song Huan rubbed his still stunned head, and only got up after being sober for a long time.

When Ah Di called Song Huan, Fu Yuanzhi also woke up and got up a quarter of an hour earlier than Song Huan.

Song Huan went to the side of the water tank to scoop water to wet his face with a ladle of water, and applied it directly to his face, which instantly eliminated the drowsiness.

Fu Yuanzhi didn't go to the assembly with Song Huan's sister and brother, so he asked him to stay at home and dispose of yesterday's fir fungus and chestnut, dry it in the sun, and peel it in the skin.

For lunch, let him cook the leftover rice porridge and eat it himself, and if nothing happens today, he should be able to buy some rice back.

There were wild boars and four rabbits in the back basket, and the wild boar still had a faint breath when it came back, Song Huan poured him a bowl of water and ignored it, it was best to survive, and there was no way if he couldn't survive.

The wild boar has a lot of strength, and when it regains its strength, it may run away in the middle of the night.

Song Huan carried the prey on his back and took his brother to the meeting slowly.

The rally is in Dongxi Village, which is next door to Big Banyan Village, a hill away, and you will reach Dongxi Village after climbing over that hill.

If you look down from the mountain, you can see why the rally was held in Dongxi Village.

Dongxi Village has a superior geographical location, most of the flat land, the houses are scattered, one by one, and the population is also large, according to the number of houses, it is about three times more than the big banyan tree village.

There is a large piece of flat land at the entrance of Dongxi Village, which is specially set up by Li Zheng for everyone to catch up with the market, there are few transactions in silver money, basically barter, for example, Zhang San wants to buy some lamp oil, Li Si said that he has to use three catties of rice to exchange, but Zhang San only has beans, and he has to go to Wang Wu to exchange beans for rice before he can buy lamp oil.

Except for the cloth, needlework, thread and books that had to be bought with silver money, which had to be spent in the town, no one would spend extra money in private, and because of this form all year round, everyone would not bring money to the assembly.

Song Huan didn't expect this to be the case when she came, and she couldn't help frowning.

This time the prey she hunted was really good, she didn't want to barter so easily, and the people here did not have a particularly large demand for meat, mainly because the meat was expensive, they had a demand but could not afford to eat it, and another one was that there was no white rice used for trading here, only yellowed old rice and rice bran and beans and the like.

She observed for a while, this assembly actually has everything it should have, but the quality of the product can only be carried out by people who meet this level of consumption.

There is also a stall here that sells pork, not much is sold, looking at the butcher's dozing appearance, you can know that his business is not good, and he does not sell much meat, I can't see the weight of a whole pig, it is estimated that this meat is not today.

So she didn't want to exchange the prey she had caught so hard, and here, she definitely couldn't exchange it for her ideal thing.

No wonder Song Dad goes to the town every time, not to the rally.

Song Huan recalled the distance to the town, in fact, for herself, the distance is acceptable, from the big banyan tree village to the town only need to climb over two hills, but she has already arrived in Dongxi Village, according to the road to the town in Dongxi Village, you have to climb over three hills, there is a big problem here, brother!

She brought Ah Di here, Ah Di is still young, and she thought that she would bring him not far away to let him increase his knowledge and see the outside world, but with Ah Di's words, the travel time will be doubled.

Hehe, it can only be said that she overestimated the level of consumption at this rally.

In the end, the unwilling thought was far more than the idea of staying, and she was in a heart, in this case, she had to go to the town to sell her prey, and let her brother rise enough at one time!

It's a big deal how tired she is, there's nothing she can't overcome!

Before Ah Di could see enough, he was picked up by Song Huan, walked through the crowd and walked out of the village and began to cross the mountains and mountains to the town.

As soon as Brother heard that Sister Ah was going to take him to the town, he was so excited that he had to come down and walk by himself, so he ran excitedly for a while and waited for Sister Ah to follow and then continued to run, but after walking uphill, he was visibly sluggish.

Song Huan and Ah Di came out without eating anything, thinking that they would sell their prey and get money to buy a big bun to eat, who knew that there was a cheat here, so Ah Di, who was excited for a quarter of an hour, was tired.

An hour later, the sister and brother were thirsty, hungry and tired, Song Huan was hungry, carrying a heavy prey on her back, and she had to carry her brother every other distance, occasionally she would flash the thought of regret, but when she thought about it, it was too much of a loss, and she felt that the tiredness was worth it.

Something has to be valuable before the people who need it.

The prey is meat, and the people are undoubtedly eager for meat, but in their minds, this belongs to the rich to eat, they also changed to such a piece of fat meat that is a little bigger than a fist during the New Year, and a year to an old snack with oil flowers, on the night of the New Year, each person was given a small piece of oil residue, which is estimated to be the best thing that most people have eaten in their lives.

Almost two hours, Song Huan finally arrived in town with his brother in tow.

The scattered shops are lined with fluttering flags above the entrances, on which are written the words wine, grain, iron, etc., which are clear at a glance.

The town is indeed much better than the makeshift assembly, the roads are clean and wide, and the people who come and go are clean and tidy, even if they are dressed with patches.

The shopkeeper in the store is also in good spirits, and he will smile back when he notices the sight of Song Huan's sister and brother.

Ah Di swallowed his saliva, took Ah Sister's hand, and slowly moved away from the red string of candies, he heard the man shouting rock sugar gourd.

Song Huan inquired all the way, and finally stopped at the door of a restaurant called Taiping.

Xiao Er in the store was carefully wiping the dining table with a rag, and when he saw Song Huan's sister and brother parked at the door, he roughly judged the situation of the two of them, and felt that the two of them estimated that they couldn't afford it. ”

Song Huan led Ah Di up the only two steps and asked, "Is your shopkeeper here?" ”

Xiao Er glanced at it suspiciously, could it be that these two people are relatives of the shopkeeper? "...... you?"

Song Huan said something unclear, "Little second brother, won't you know when your shopkeeper comes?" ”

Xiao Er didn't say anything after all, he went to the backyard and called the shopkeeper, and it didn't take long for the shopkeeper to come out, and when he saw the two of them, he frowned and said after making sure that he didn't know him or not, "I'm not a place where you can be presumptuous at will, hurry up!" ”

Song Huan pushed over the back basket that had already been put down, and removed the grass on the top, so that the rabbits and wild boars inside were clear at a glance.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper didn't understand anything, glanced at Song Huan's sister and brother, and then said, "Come in with me." ”
