Chapter 26

Despite the mottled and dilapidated city walls of Wudu Town, it has a long history.It can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

The geographical location of Wudu Town is very special, it is located in the south of Wujiang River.To the southwest of Wudu Town is Shifeng County, which is the nearest riverside port in Shifeng County.Before the Qing Dynasty, Wudu Town belonged to Shifeng County, but it was assigned to Guojiang County during the Republic of China.

From Guojiang County, you can take a ferry directly down the river to Wudu Town. The time is relatively fast, and you can arrive in about an hour.It's just that the water flow from Guojiang County to Wudu Town is relatively turbulent, and ordinary ferries are more dangerous on the river, and ships often sink.

But even so, because Shifeng County is an inland county, most of the supplies need to be transported by the wharf of Wudu Town, so Wudu Town has become an important water port.Businessmen and tourists also have to take guest trips from here to C City or to Xiangzhou.So at that time, Wudu Town was full of traffic, the market was prosperous, and all kinds of businesses were prosperous.

However, during the period of the Republic of China, roads were gradually built, and the traffic of boats in Wudu Town gradually decreased due to the danger of the river.After the establishment of Huaguo, the road traffic network around Wudu Town was gradually formed.Due to the high safety of the road, the boat business at the ferry gradually declined, and it gradually became what Wudu Town is today.

Wudu Town is divided into on-court and off-court.

The upper field is built on the slope according to the mountain situation, and is long.The pavement is made of bluestone slabs, about three to four meters wide.On both sides are shops and residential buildings, most of which are walled houses.The shapes of the arches and hanging columns of the houses are varied.There are also some corridors on both sides of the street. Although they are somewhat dilapidated due to the erosion of the years, they generally retain the old appearance of the wind and rain corridors during the Republic of China.

In the past, only the ferry crossing was still lively. Occasionally, trackers and boatmen passed by on the street, making it extremely quiet.But this kind of tranquility is integrated with the old appearance of Wudu Town, making people feel a touch of comfort and leisure.

Today is the rush day, breaking the faint comfort and leisure.Another scene was presented, with people coming and going, mules and horses passing through, and it was very lively.

Ye Qiu looked at the familiar and unfamiliar scenes with nostalgia, and his mind was full of thoughts.

"Yongzi, Yongzi, we are here." Yang Dazhen suddenly raised his hand and called.

Tang Weiyong heard his mother's cry from a distance, and ran over quickly.He was wearing a light green military uniform and looked very energetic.He quickly glanced at the few people standing beside his old mother.

He knew Lu Jianbin and Tang Guizhi, and he also met Wei Hongzhi, except for a beautiful girl.But Tang Weiyong heard that Brother Shanzi from Uncle Dahe's house next door married a wife, so it should be the person in front of him.Thinking about the purpose of his mother asking him to take food on the street this time.Tang Weiyong's face was slightly hot, and he quietly glanced at Wei Hongzhi again.

Feeling Tang Weiyong's gaze, Wei Hongzhi also blushed hot.Although I knew I was here to see each other, I still felt embarrassed.But this is a matter of a lifetime, Wei Hongzhi held back her shyness and looked at Tang Weiyong.I saw that he was about four feet five tall, with a face like Mrs. Qin, and he was more delicate.However, Wei Hongzhi has nothing to choose about this aspect. She is more concerned about Tang Weiyong's work.

Wei Hongzhi slowly lowered her head, thinking about it in her heart.

Seeing the situation here, Ye Qiu knew that today was not a good time to talk to Wei Hongzhi.So he found an excuse to buy something for the family, pulled Tang Guizhi around and left.

"Wait for me." Lu Jianbin glanced at Tang Weiyong and frowned slightly.He was about the same height as Wei Hongzhi, and had a male-female appearance, so he felt that he was not good enough for Wei Hongzhi.But even though he called Wei Hongzhi sister, he didn't have the stance to speak.Not wanting to feel overwhelmed by the sight, Lu Jianbin saw Ye Qiu leave and hurriedly followed.

After Yang Dazhen saw several people leaving, she suddenly said that she was a little tired from walking.Let Tang Weiyong accompany Wei Hongzhi to go shopping.

When Tang Weiyong and Wei Hongzhi heard the words, they both knew that they were being left alone.As a result, the two of them felt even more uncomfortable.Seeing this appearance, Qin Dafen was overjoyed.

Ye Qiu dragged Yaomei from the stage to the stage gradually. After Lu Jianbin caught up with her, she began to explain incessantly.

Xiachang is built along the Wujiang River. Because it is close to the water pier, Xiachang has a stronger commercial atmosphere. Temples such as Wangye Temple and Yuwang Temple are also mainly located in Xiachang.There is also a Chinese and Western-style residential building built in the Republic of China. It is rumored that it was the house of the Gou family, the richest man in Wudu Town at that time. It was considered a mansion at that time.Thinking about the identity of her mother-in-law Zhou Ju, Ye Qiu remained silent.

Although Yaomei knows a little bit, she doesn't know the history.So when I heard Lu Jianbin's explanation, I listened with relish.

The Gou family's house is surrounded by a residential area. In addition to the Gou's house, there are also many green brick courtyards with courtyards and volcanic walls, showing the prosperity of Wudu Town in those days.

When Ye Qiu saw the supply and marketing cooperative, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly ran over with Yaomei, only to find that many people were rushing to buy cloth.

What was snapped up was rayon. At that time, this kind of fabric could be purchased without a cloth ticket, but the quantity was not much.So first come, first served, until sold out.Ye Qiu also rushed to buy some, but seeing the black crowd, he was discouraged.

In addition to rayon, the supply and marketing cooperatives also have cool cloth, cotton cloth, denim cloth, etc., but they must be supplied by ticket.There are also some odds and ends, and a little cloth ticket will be deducted.Some people will also buy some sewing and mending, which is more cost-effective.

Speaking of this, Ye Qiu thought of something he had heard, that was, there was a man who was rejected by many women on a blind date because he was tall and tall, because it turned out to be Fei Bupiao.Therefore, Tang Weiyong's height of about four feet five is very short in the future, but in this era, he will not be disgusted by people because of this.

Soon the artificial cotton was robbed, and the crowd slowly dissipated.

Ye Qiu and Tang Guizhi joined the supply and marketing cooperative.

Lu Jianbin followed nonchalantly, walked around the counter, bought tooth powder, a piece of soap, and other odds and ends of daily necessities.

Ye Qiu and Tang Guizhi went straight to the fabric counter.

"Sister-in-law, don't buy cloth." Tang Guizhi pulled Ye Qiu anxiously. She thought it was because of what she said in the morning that Ye Qiu thought she wanted clothes, "My clothes can still be worn."

"Not only yours, but also your nephew's and niece's. The wedding was a little rushed back then, and we haven't given a meeting gift yet. This is the custom in our city S, so don't stop me."

When Tang Guizhi heard this, her face flushed slightly, and she fell silent thinking of her elder brother's nephew who still had her buttocks spanked.

Watching a lot of new styles of clothes appear on the counter.Woolen tunic suits, woolen wool sweaters, etc., are also brightly colored.Ye Qiu thought about the time, and it seemed that the four above who caused this catastrophe were under surveillance.This means that this era is coming to an end.Thinking of this, Ye Qiu's heart lightened up, and the time to show off his skills was not far away.

Ye Qiu counted the people in the family, and after spending all the cloth tickets, there was only enough clothes for the elder brother, sister-in-law, nephew and niece.The eldest brother and sister-in-law and the third brother and third sister-in-law can't do it.However, it's not rude not to do it for them, after all, they are brother and sister-in-law, so Ye Qiu didn't think about it anymore.I bought tooth powder, three pieces of bath soap, and some snacks and sugar from C City.The three of them left the supply and marketing cooperative.

Ye Qiu has been counting the time, thinking that soon Wudu Town will become the first demonstration site for subdivision of farmland in City C, and all kinds of farm tools will be in short supply by then.So she picked up the iron pot industrial voucher issued to her by the village, and went to the iron supplies shop. One pot was exchanged for four sickles, four hoes, and a small iron rake.

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Lu Jianbin spent a lot of money, and seeing Ye Qiu exchange such a small amount of things with a pot, he couldn't help being speechless, "Why do you exchange these useless things, now you use the collective one anyway. Things, why do you have to do it yourself?"

Tang Guizhi also felt a little distressed, it was a pot.

Ye Qiu had made up his mind, the pots at home were enough, but the farm tools were not.Iron farm tools in the village are not owned by everyone.After the land is divided into households, collective things are also divided, but not everyone can get those iron farm tools.Without farm tools, how will we farm the land?

"I have a plan, you guys watch it." After speaking, Ye Qiu threw the iron rake to Lu Jianbin to hold.

"Hey, Comrade Ye Qiu, isn't it a bit natural for you to order me?" Lu Jianbin pretended to be displeased.

Seeing the cold face of the handsome young man who was giggling all the way, Tang Guizhi was taken aback, and reached out to take it back, but Ye Qiu stopped him.

Ye Qiu smiled, "Comrade Lu Jianbin, are you older than us?"

Lu Jianbin nodded.

"Are we class fellows?"

Lu Jianbin nodded again.

"Compatriots in the same class should help each other. Besides, you are older than Yaomei and me. You should be the elder brother. Isn't it natural for the younger sister to ask the elder brother to do something?" After finishing speaking, he turned around and pulled Tang Guizhi away.

Lu Jianbin widened his eyes when he heard the words, is this okay?Looking at the two girls who ran away.Lu Jianbin suddenly chased after Ye Qiu and Tang Guizhi, and beside them, he hummed a love song that had been circulated in the local area, "Sister, sister...go ahead, brother behind, keep...chasing...yo. Sister, sister...go ahead, brother behind, my heart is beating... oh."

Although the voice was low, someone could still hear it. People on the street looked sideways at Lu Jianbin with contempt in their eyes, and some hid their anger. Someone molested a woman in broad daylight?
Younger sister Tang Guizhi stood between Ye Qiu and Lu Jianbin. After hearing Lu Jianbin's lyrics, she quickly lowered her head, her face ashamed like a red apple.

Ye Qiu was very afraid of what Tang Guizhi might think about Lu Jianbin. Seeing that Lu Jianbin dared to say anything, he said with a straight face, "If you sing again, I'll call you a hooligan." He said he would take back what Lu Jianbin was holding.

Lu Jianbin quickly took a step back, "Don't, don't, just kidding, just kidding." He didn't think Ye Qiu was such a rigid person, why was he so careless?
Ye Qiu knew that Lu Jianbin was joking, and he wasn't really angry with Lu Jianbin because of it. He was just angry that he didn't distinguish between occasions and people. He glanced at Yaomei who was still embarrassed, sighed slightly in his heart, and pulled her forward.

Lu Jianbin touched his nose and followed.
