"Don't make a fuss. Zhou Qiuxiang's face turned gloomy when she heard this.

Most of the roads to the city are difficult to walk, and if there is an accident because of the addition of melon seeds, then she is afraid that she will regret it for the rest of her life.

Seeing this, the melon seed quickly shrank his head.

Liu Xing couldn't bear to see the melon seeds crying, so he reached out and hugged her at the moment, and asked in a tentative tone: "Mom, let the melon seeds follow, after all, the black calf walks slowly on the road, and I am not afraid to walk at night with one more person." ”

"I'll take care of the melon seeds. After a pause, Liu Xing added.

"This ......" Zhou Qiuxiang hesitated when she heard this.

She is not afraid of anything else, but she is afraid that the melon seeds will be taken away.

But what Liu Xing said seems to be very reasonable, this person goes to the vegetable market in the city in the dark, if there is no one to accompany him, it is indeed a little inappropriate.

"Mom, I'll be very obedient. The melon seed reached out and shook Zhou Qiuxiang's arm.

The voice of these words was very soft, but it softened Zhou Qiuxiang's heart, and she sighed: "It's okay! You can also take care of your brother when you go with your brother, but you must not leave your brother's sight, when the time comes, you will be taken away by the bad guys, and you will never come back." ”

"Uh-huh, uh-huh, I knew Mommy was the best. Taking advantage of Zhou Qiuxiang's inattention, the melon seeds stretched out their little hands to hug them and kissed them.

"This melon baby. Zhou Qiuxiang touched her face and couldn't help laughing.

Liu Xing also smiled, sat on the back of the black calf with the melon seeds in his arms, and then led the way towards the east mountain road.

"Son, be careful on the road. Zhou Qiuxiang looked at Liu Xing and melon seeds who disappeared into the night, and the worry in her eyes appeared in an instant.

"Don't look at it, the third child of our family is much more stable than the fourth...... cough cough ......" Liu Dazhao appeared behind Zhou Qiuxiang at this time, and his face was much haggard compared to yesterday.

"That's right. Zhou Qiuxiang nodded slowly, turned around and helped Liu Dazhao: "Your injury is not healed yet, it's better to go back to the house and lie down." ”

"I'm about to get lice, let me walk around the barn?" Liu Dazhao smiled bitterly.

"Okay, I'll be with you. Zhou Qiuxiang helped Liu Dazhao to the barn.

The couple didn't notice that Liu Ye was hiding in the corner at this time and quietly watching this scene, and tears had quietly slipped down inadvertently.

......

In the night, Liu Xing led the black calf and walked slowly.

With the company of melon seeds, he is not alone, on the contrary, he has a lot of happiness.

Because melon seeds will always whisper to him when he is thinking about his heart to make him happy.

Before you know it, more than three hours have passed.

Liu Xing also walked out of the scope of saltpeter village and came to the boundary of Zhangmu Township.

More than ten miles further south, there is HY City.

But by this time, the sky was already slightly bright, and the way forward was much clearer.

Liu Xing did not stop, but quickened his pace and walked in the direction of HY City.

And the melon seeds sitting on the back of the black calf could no longer withstand it at this time, and they fell asleep on their backs.

Liu Xing couldn't help but smile when he saw it, and in order to prevent the melon seeds from falling, he also climbed onto the back of the black calf and hugged her for the first time.

After all, it's April, and if you don't pay attention to keeping warm, it's easy to catch a cold.

And the black calf saw that Liu Xing also sat on his back, and after walking a few steps in place, he stretched out his head to eat the grass on the side of the road.

"You can't do that, black calf. Liu Xing tightened the ox rope: "We must rush to the city to sell the eggs and river snails, otherwise we will go in vain this night." ”

The black calf seemed to understand Liu Xing's words, and after glancing back at Liu Xing, he walked in the direction of HY City, and the speed was much faster than what Liu Xing had led before.

"Okay, I'll give you more food when I get home. Liu Xing touched the neck of the black calf.

The black calf screamed, a few points faster than before.

At this time, there were already a few pedestrians on the road.

They were all villagers carrying burdens.

Seeing Liu Xing riding a black calf in the direction of HY City, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, but he didn't watch, and after chatting a few words in private, they parted ways.

Sky.

It gradually brightened.

And over time.

Liu Xing rode the black calf and finally arrived at the boundary of HY City.

The melon seeds had already woken up, and looking at the unfamiliar red brick buildings around them, they were both curious and scared.

Seeing that many pedestrians were pointing at her and Liu Xing, they hurriedly got into Liu Xing's arms.

Liu Xing smiled bitterly at this, but he didn't continue to sit on the back of the black calf, but jumped down and walked towards a red brick house with many people on the side of the road.

In the 80s, HY City was not big, and most of them were two-storey and three-row red brick houses, of course, there were also adobe houses and blue brick houses, but the number was not too large, and they were hidden in the corners where they could not be seen.

This must have been planned, and it was only newly built in the past two years, after all, in Liu Xing's memory, HY City was still a town in the 70s, and it was changed to an urban area in the 80s because of reform and opening up.

Before approaching the red brick house, Liu Xing was surrounded by pedestrians watching the excitement around him.

One of the well-maintained aunts looked at Liu Xing like a strange animal: "Child, where did you come from? Why did you ride a buffalo onto the cement road?"

"Sister, I'm from Saltpeter Village, I'm not at home and I'm idle and touching some snails, I want to come to the city to sell some money to buy a pair of shoes for my sister to wear, and by the way, subsidize the family. After Liu Xing stabilized the black calf, he answered the aunt's question with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, the aunt smiled happily.

Because she can be called sister by a child, that is the greatest compliment to her appearance. If you were someone else, it would be nice not to call him grandma.

This child from the countryside has such a sweet mouth, she likes it!

The other citizens around who were watching the excitement couldn't help but laugh when they heard Liu Xing's words.

One of them, an old man on crutches, stepped forward and glanced at the conch in the bamboo basket: "Yo! It's quite big! How can you sell it? If the price is right, I'll buy some and fry it back." ”

"This ...... I don't know the price yet!" Liu Xing scratched his head with a smile.

This trick is called retreating as advancing, which seems to be very passive, but in fact it is very shrewd.

Where did the old man know so much, and immediately stretched out his hand and gestured: "The vegetable market is only three cents a catty." ”

As soon as Liu Xing heard this price, his heart pounded and suddenly beat much faster.

Because the price is a dime higher than what my father said.

However, what he didn't expect was that the aunt next to him scolded the old man at this time: "Old taro, do you want to be shameless, such a big snail cost four cents a pound in the vegetable market a few days ago, and it is in short supply." ”

"Yes, it's not easy for a child to come out, don't you see that his sister doesn't have shoes on her feet? "It was a burly uncle who spoke, wearing glasses and looking quite gentle.

As soon as these words came out, the people around them burst into laughter.

The old man who was smiling and called the old taro was very embarrassed, and after he scratched his head, he said apologetically to Liu Xing: "Child, don't say anything, four cents a catty, can you give me five catties of this river snail?"

"Yes. Liu Xing nodded.

"But I don't need food stamps, all other stamps. After a pause, Liu Xing added.

"Why?" the old taro wondered.

"Because my family is a farmer, I have food in my family. Liu Xing replied.

"That's right. The old taro smiled and nodded.

"Do you still buy conch?" Liu Xing saw that the old taro was not leaving, so he asked.

"Buy, of course. Old Taro replied.

When Liu Xing heard this, he hurriedly took the melon seeds off the black calf, and then carefully put the eggs on the bamboo basket on the ground.

was about to weigh the conch, but the aunt on the side spoke: "Oh! You also brought eggs, how much is one!"

"I don't know. Liu Xing continued to play stupid.

He was afraid that the price would be low, and he was sorry for his mother's shrinkage and diet.

"I'll ask for all eight cents, okay?" the aunt looked at Liu Xing.

"Okay, you can say as much as you want. Liu Xinglian agreed.

After all, before he came to HY City, his mother told him to sell it for five cents a piece, which was all eight cents a piece, so naturally he couldn't be greedy.

"Then I'll count. Seeing Liu Xing so bold, the aunt picked up the eggs in the woven bag and counted them.

Liu Xing knew that this aunt was not short of money, and after smiling, he helped the old fish head weigh the conch, and with the opening of the bamboo basket, there were more and more people watching the excitement around, and many of the nearby citizens saw that there was a conch to buy, and they all gathered around.

Seeing this, the melon seeds hurriedly stood in front of the bamboo basket and did not let any strangers endure approaching.

After all, this is what my brother worked hard to find out of the river, and it would not be good if it was stolen.

This scene made the citizens who gathered around couldn't help but laugh.

praised the melon seeds, this girl is sensible.

But it's more about paying for snails.

If you miss it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to buy it in the future.

After all, there are only two small vegetable markets in HY City, and it is difficult to see conch sales most of the time.

Liu Xing was a little confused for this hot business for a while.
