happy daughter-in-law

Chapter 23 Going to the market ([-])
On the first day of the new year, on the day of going to the market, Shen Yunfang went to the production team to feed the sheep early, and then went to Wang's house to find Dashuan's wife.

Because there are quite a few people going to the market in the village on this day, young people like Shen Yunfang and Dashuan's wife don't need to count on the village's carriages, and can only walk across on their legs.

It is about [-] miles from Gaijiatun to the commune, and it takes about two hours to walk.

Dashuan's daughter-in-law made an appointment with two young daughter-in-laws who were acquainted, Shen Erzhu's daughter-in-law and Wang Jianjun's daughter-in-law. The four of them walked together on the path out of the village.

"Yunfang, did you really break up with Shen Yingxue?" Wang Jianjun's daughter-in-law had a cheerful personality, and she became acquainted with Shen Yunfang without saying a few words, chatting a little gossip while walking.

"It's not a breakup, it's just that I won't dig wild vegetables for her." Shen Yunfang thought for a while, and replied thoughtfully. Although she didn't want to be fooled by others, she didn't want to offend others. They are all from the same village. Look up and see down, if you say something unpleasant and it reaches the ears of the person concerned, isn't that a feud?

"Oh, this is not a breakup. I guess Shen Dafu's family will have blue eyes seeing you now." Wang Jianjun's daughter-in-law waved her hand and said carelessly.

No, there used to be such a free laborer, but now that she is on strike, of course people look down on her.

"That can't be helped. I'm really in poor health and can't do heavy work." Shen Yunfang still tried her best to find a reason, and she always wanted a fig leaf.

"Hehe, it's good to break up. Now that you and Shen Yingxue are not in good order, I'm not afraid to tell you that that family is terrible. You don't know, my house is next to his. Sneaking around in my field, tell me, I saw it with my own eyes, and her mother can still open her eyes and talk nonsense, with such a mother, what kind of good girl can she teach?" Wang Jianjun's daughter-in-law looked disdainful Said.

It turns out that there is such a source.

"Stop talking about it, you've said this one thing eight hundred times, so you can't change it." Shen Erzhu's daughter-in-law said to her.

"Her family has a lot of bad things, but I like to talk about it." Wang Jianjun's wife said unconvinced. "Besides, the old saying is not false at all, if you grow melons, you will reap beans, look at Shen Dafu's seedling, didn't it just bear the fruit of Shen Yingxue's pretentiousness?"

"You can keep some virtue in your mouth, the little girl didn't offend you." Dashuan's daughter-in-law is kind-hearted. Although she also likes to gossip, she is unwilling to speak ill of others behind their backs.

"I just can't understand her arrogance. When you are needed, sister-in-law is long and sister-in-law is short. When you are not needed, her eyes will grow to the top of her head, just like her family. Well, her parents are like that, so why should she be proud." Wang Jianjun's daughter-in-law said bluntly.

"He is a high school student, so of course he has the capital to be arrogant. If you have the ability, you should go to high school, and you can walk with your head up." Shen Erzhu's wife said.

"Hmph, I'm afraid I won't see the road and fall to my death. Besides, don't think I don't know. Now high school basically doesn't teach anything. Isn't she going to school every day to hide and don't want to work? Who can't see it. Yunfang, you also went to high school, are you right?" Wang Jianjun asked Shen Yunfang.

At this time, the school was disturbed by the movement in the past few years, and it was basically useless, so many children asked for leave to go home and work after they entered high school. After graduating from high school, there are not many people who insist on going to school like Shen Yingxue.

Shen Yunfang couldn't remember, so she could only hehe.

"You asked Yunfang what she was doing, bullying people?" Dashuan's daughter-in-law looked down a bit, Yunfang was brought by her, so she shouldn't be run on.

"Oh, you are a thoughtful person. Why am I bullying others? I just want Yunfang to prove it to me." Wang Jianjun's daughter-in-law finally realized that it is not good to ask Shen Yunfang directly. This does not mean that Shen Yunfang is nothing "Yunfang, my sister-in-law has no other intentions. Don't worry, my sister-in-law is straightforward, but she is definitely not bad-hearted. You will know when we get in touch with each other a lot."

"Pfft, you are really interesting, are you so self-proclaimed?" Shen Erzhu's wife couldn't stand her anymore.

"I'm not bragging, I'm telling the truth." Wang Jianjun's daughter-in-law said bluffing.

With just a few people bickering, the aisle is not boring.

But slowly, Shen Yunfang couldn't keep up.

The roads out of the village are all dirt roads. Shen Yunfang didn't feel much when she started walking. After walking for about an hour, she felt her feet hurt, and she felt that the road ahead was slow. Why is there no head on this road.

"Are you tired?" Dashuan's daughter-in-law knew that the girl must be tired from walking when she saw Yun Fang hammering her leg vigorously.

"Well, how far is it?" I hadn't walked such a long way, and I couldn't stand the suddenness.

"It's only half of the way." Wang Jianjun's wife said, they are all used to walking, and they don't take it seriously when they walk back and forth for twenty or thirty miles.

"Ah? It's still so long." Shen Yunfang really wailed, she felt that if she walked somewhere, blisters would definitely come out of her feet.

No matter what, we are halfway there, and there is no turning back when we open the bow, so we can only bite the bullet and go on.

When a few people arrived at the market, the sun was already in the middle, and Shen Yunfang slowed everyone down.

Shen Yunfang, who didn't want to take a step at first, became energized after seeing the huge market, and started shopping from the beginning after pulling a few.

In fact, the market is held on a grain drying field next to the commune, which is said to be as big as a basketball court.

It's already the end of October, and the weather is getting a bit cold, so the products in the market are very single.

There are a few blocks in total, and one block sells vegetables. At this time, the vegetable field has closed, and they sell some winter vegetables, such as cabbage, potatoes, radishes, mustard gada, carrots, green onions, ginger, garlic, etc. stored.One is selling non-staple food, and here are selling tofu, bean sprouts and vermicelli.One is selling daily necessities, including pots and pans, and some wicker baskets and so on.There is another piece for selling livestock, and only a few piglets and lambs are sold in this season.

"Sister-in-law, let the members buy and sell privately now?" Shen Yunfang was a little excited.But obviously the situation in my village now is a little different from what I heard in my previous life. Pigs and chickens are allowed to be raised casually, and maybe private transactions are also allowed.

"What are you thinking, child?" Dashuan's wife hurriedly pulled her over, fearing that what she just said would be overheard.

Wang Jianjun's wife and Shen Erzhu's wife also looked at her with foolish expressions.

"Can't it?" Could it be that she guessed wrong.

"Of course not. That's an economic crime, a crime of speculation." Dashuan's daughter-in-law said in a low voice.

"But, these..." Shen Yunfang pointed at the market, puzzled, isn't there someone selling it?
