Hard times have room

Chapter 977 Market
The next morning, Pauline got up early. The sky was still in a hazy state at this time, but it was not too late, it was past six o'clock.

People nowadays pay attention to work at sunrise and rest at sunset. Last night, after dinner, they warmed up in the kitchen for a while, talked for a while, and then went to bed very early.

Pauline slept with Li Ting, and the two talked endlessly on the bed until very late, and the conversation between the two ended when Li Ting fell asleep while talking.

Wang Jiandang sleeps together with the two brothers of the Qin family. It's winter, so naturally it can't be the same as summer. You can sleep with just a bamboo bed, and you will catch a cold.

The Qin family only has two quilts, even if there is an empty bamboo bed, it is useless. In winter, sleeping without a quilt is easy to catch a cold, so naturally only the three of them can squeeze together.

Although there was not much movement of Baolin getting up, Li Ting still woke up. She used to be the only woman in the house, and she was in charge of all the work outside the house. At this time, it was her biological clock, and it was time to get up and clean up.

In the past, she would cook breakfast alone, and Qin Dashan or Qin Xiaoshan would wash things and light a fire next to her, to help her. Neither of them got up today, so it was Baolin who helped her.

By the time the three men got up and washed up, they would have something to eat right away, and by the time they had finished their breakfast, the sky would already be completely bright.

Bao Lin couldn't stay idle, she had already asked Li Ting yesterday, as the Chinese New Year was approaching, there were often people setting up stalls in the market along the river in Tongmao Village, and there were a lot of catches. Besides, there were also people who would bring Some of the things produced in my own land go to a stall. If you are lucky, you may even meet a butcher!
As the new year is approaching, there will be people selling couplets and blessings at some stalls. The writing is very neat and the items are not expensive. A pair of couplets costs [-] cents. More people buy blessing characters, which cost a penny each, which is much more affordable.

Baolin and Wang Jiandang went to the Tongmao Village market. Now this place is not very lively, and there are not many people setting up stalls, only a dozen or so stalls are scattered there.

In a year, the busiest days in the market are the 28th, 29th and [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month. At that time, the real buzz is full of people, even if you don’t buy anything. People who finally have free time will also come here, and it is good to feel the lively atmosphere during the Chinese New Year.

The father and daughter didn't delay in other irrelevant places. They went straight to the seafood stall and asked about the price of fresh fish. It was ten cents a catty. The price was a little lower than when they came here last year, but Compared with when Baolin first came here, it was still much more expensive. At that time, the fresh fish was only six to seven cents a catty.

Also now that the weather is good, fresh fish can be stored for a long time. In addition, the New Year is coming soon, and more people are willing to buy meat for their families to go back and taste. That is to say, the market changes indirectly during this time period. When you get older, things from years ago will always be more expensive.

Because I don't know if they came too early and the price was too high, the father and daughter didn't start shopping right away. They just came here to inquire about the facts. Anyway, the Qin family is very close to the market, so go back and ask Ask the Qin family, the price they buy, and it will not be too late to buy it later.

During this period of time, the number of stalls in the market should gradually increase, and some people who came late for other reasons should also arrive.

When their father and daughter were shopping in the market, the eldest aunt of the Qin family went to Qin Dashan's house.

Yesterday, when the father and daughter of the Wang family passed by the door of Uncle Qin Dashan's house, they were seen by his family. They held back all night, and finally saw the father and daughter leave the next day. Qin Dashan's aunt immediately left the grandson at home. Son, I came to his house to inquire about the news.

"Auntie, come and sit here." Seeing the elder coming, Li Ting immediately stood up, took a stool, and placed it next to the place where she was just sitting.

"Dashan's daughter-in-law, where are Dashan and Xiaoshan?" The eldest aunt of the Qin family looked at the kitchen where Li Ting was alone and asked.

Although what she wanted to inquire about had nothing to do with Qin Dashan and Qin Xiaoshan, but it was always right to ask.

"They went to the woods. Isn't this my mother's family? They can add some mushrooms to the family when they come back." Li Ting said while adding firewood to the stove.

She was sitting alone at home just now, and she was reluctant to burn more firewood. The fire was almost extinguished, and there was a little too much smoke, and the room was a bit choking. Now that someone came, she couldn't light the fire like before.

"Yeah, your natal family has come to see you again after such a long time. This is their wish. It is right to prepare more things."

Looking at Li Ting with her big belly, the aunt of the Qin family was also full of emotions. Fortunately, she met Li Ting that day, otherwise Dashan would not be in the present day, and now the family is about to have a baby, Dad Dashan The mother can rest in peace underneath.

Now the life of Dashan's family is flourishing, as an aunt, she can only be happy.

"Did your natal family go to buy seafood?"

Li Ting nodded: "Yes, they are more interested in the things in our sea. This time they came here to visit me and buy some seafood to go back to celebrate the New Year."

The two of them chatted about some things later on. All in all, it was quite pleasant, because the Qin family's eldest aunt didn't like to interfere in Qin Dashan's family affairs, so the two parties usually got along very happily without any conflicts.

Li Ting respects this eldest aunt very much. The eldest aunt is not only her matchmaker, but also takes good care of her who just came here and is unfamiliar with the place. There is no old man in their family, and she doesn't understand it very well. She has been pregnant since she was pregnant. In the end, many things were suggested by this aunt. For this, she can be grateful to her for the rest of her life.

When Baolin and Wang Jiandang returned to the Qin family, the eldest aunt of the Qin family had already left, and she had a family behind her, and the family had not yet been separated!
Although the family is indeed prosperous, she also has difficulties. She is busy every day without touching the ground, which is one of them!
As soon as Bao Lin came back, she went straight to the kitchen and found Li Ting: "Sister Ting, we just went to the market, and it was quite lively."

Although it is not as good as the big episode on the 22th of each month, maybe on the [-]nd of the twelfth lunar month, there are so many people, it is already considered pretty good.

"In a few days, this place will be even more lively. How about it, do you want to stay with me for a few more days?" Li Ting asked with a smile.

Although she knew it was impossible, how would she know the final result if she didn't try? She liked this sister very much. If she could stay at home with her for a few more days, she would be very happy.
