small farmer

Chapter 1049

In a blink of an eye, it is the 23rd year of the twelfth lunar month.

Today is also the day for the county town to go to the market. Early in the morning, Zhang Feng and Yiyi drove towards the county town with their grandparents and two baby sisters.

There was a lot of traffic along the way and it was very lively.

"Wow!! You see there are people riding horses!!" Suddenly the little girl sitting in the back row exclaimed.

Everyone hurriedly looked out of the car window, and sure enough, there was a man riding a horse and galloping along the road!
Looking at the man's appearance, he is about five or sixty years old. The horse he is riding is also a local Guizhou horse. The horse does not run fast. There is also a bulging snakeskin bag tied to the horse's back, which should contain the goods that the old man went to the city to exchange for money. .

"I didn't expect to see someone riding a horse!!" The old man recalled, and then sighed in disbelief.

Zhang Feng was also a little dazed, as if recalling the scene of going to the market when he was a child.

At that time, people in the village went to the market either on foot or on horseback. Zhang Feng still remembers that there were several horse shops near the county town, and there were many horse stalls in front of the horse shops, which were specially used for tethering horses.

I remember every time I walked there, the little kids would cover their noses, because the smell of horse urine and horse shit could be everywhere.

Of course, what shocked the friends even more was that the guy under the horse was so big, it was as thick and big as a flashlight, and the friends who saw it were dumbfounded.

I remember that Uncle Er Niu was instigated by himself at that time, and he took a branch to poke him, but in the end he was almost scolded to death by the owner of the horse. Since then, Uncle Er Niu has not talked to him for several days.

When everyone came to the county seat, the parking place in the past was already full, and it took a long time to find a place.

"Okay, let's stop here!"

"No way, madman, why did you park your car in someone else's yard?" After Zhang Feng parked the car, Yiyi asked him in surprise after getting out of the car.

"Hehe, it's okay, this is the home of my elementary school classmate! Don't you think he's here?"

As soon as he said that, the classmate opened the door and came out: "Hey, the big boss is you, who did I think it was?"

"Haha, long time no see Chang Xiaobing, I'll park the car in your yard for a while!" Zhang Feng said with a smile.

"It's okay, it's okay, you can stay as long as you want!" Chang Xiaobing was also very happy to see Zhang Feng,

Although we have lost contact with each other since entering junior high school, we played pretty well in elementary school, so we warmly invite everyone to sit in the house.

"By the way, Xiao Bing, where do you work now?" Zhang Feng asked with a smile after taking a sip of tea.

"What job do you do? I'm self-employed now, running a small business!" Chang Xiaobing shook his head with a wry smile.

"It's good to run your own business. By the way, what about your wife and children?" Zhang Feng seemed to remember that this guy got married when he was still in college.
"Hehe, they sell melon seed candies in the shop!"

It turned out that Chang Xiaobing had rented a shop in the county, specializing in the sale of dried fruits and candies, and the business was at its best when the Spring Festival approached.

In such a short month, you can earn [-] to [-] yuan, and after a year, earning [-] to [-] yuan is not a problem.

Now this guy's wife and children are hot on the kang. Not only does he have a smart and capable wife, he also has two children, a son and a daughter. Dabao has already entered elementary school, and Xiaobao is the second child. Had a very happy life.

Farewell to old classmate Chang Xiaobing
Everyone walked to the big market. Since this was the penultimate big market before the Spring Festival, there were huge crowds of people along the way, and the most crowded place was almost blocked, so we could only move forward very slowly.

But only in this way can there be the atmosphere of the Spring Festival. Although it is crowded, the faces of passers-by are full of smiles.

Seeing the food, drinks, and games on the street... is full of memories,
Braised pork, roast duck, dried tofu, rice cakes... There are also melon seeds, peanuts, potato chips, candies and other new year goods. Almost every stall is crowded with people, and the business is extremely hot.

"Wow, delicious fried potatoes, brother, let's go buy some?" The little girl almost couldn't walk when she smelled the food stall by the roadside.

"Go, let's all go!!" Seeing Xiaoyue's greedy look, Zhang Feng nodded with a smile, as if he was back in his childhood, when he was going to the New Year's Fair with his parents.

One person bought a small bowl of fried potatoes, spicy and delicious, very refreshing to eat.

Soon everyone came to the place where New Year pictures were sold.

Red piglets filled the stalls, as well as dolls holding carps, beautiful blessing characters, and Spring Festival couplets printed with various auspicious patterns...

Except for the Spring Festival couplets that Zhang Feng plans to write himself, he has sold a lot of other things. This year, he will decorate his home beautifully, full of festive atmosphere.

When everyone was choosing New Year pictures, the old man ran to the second-hand book stall next door at some point, looking at all kinds of familiar old books on the book stand, full of memories.

Dozens of comic strips in the 80s and [-]s, such as "Extracting Teeth from the Tiger's Mouth", "Son of the Guerrillas", "Heroes' Sons and Daughters", "Grandfather", "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", etc.

"Boss, how do you sell this book?" The old man looked at it, and finally picked out the best-preserved comic book.

"Yo! Old man, you are really an expert. This book is..." The owner of the book stall is also a genius. Seeing that the old man intends to buy it, he praised his book for a while.

"Okay, boss, just tell me how much this book is? I'll buy it if it suits me, and forget it if it doesn't suit me!!" The old man shook his head, pretending not to be very interested.

"Master, this book is not expensive, only one thousand and eight!" The boss said with a smile.

The old man shook his head slightly after hearing this, "Boss, although your book is well preserved, it is not a treasured comic book. The price is obviously too high."

After speaking, the old man got up and was about to leave, but the boss quickly asked him to stay and lowered the price to 800 yuan. Finally, after some bargaining, the old man successfully won it at a price of [-] yuan.

Seeing the old man approaching with a smile on his face, Zhang Feng asked curiously, "Did you find the treasure, old man?"

"Haha, let's talk about it later!" The old man smiled mysteriously, and hurriedly left with everyone.

After coming to another street, the old man took out the treasure he found.

"Haha, see, this is the treasure I found!!"

"Virtue! Let me see!!" Grandma Liu rolled her eyes at her wife, and brought the comic strip with a smile.

At first, Grandma Liu frowned slightly, but then she seemed to have noticed something, and her eyes became more and more serious.

"Old man, you are so lucky that you actually found a collection of comic books, and it was collected by a famous artist in Guizhou Province!"

After Grandma Liu's introduction, everyone knew that the old man really missed it. If the comic books collected by famous artists were put up for auction, at least they could sell for tens of thousands of yuan. It's all possible.

Hearing Grandma Liu's words, the old man laughed happily.
