The beloved wife of the reborn scholar

Chapter 16 New Years
I slept late last night and overslept this morning.

Early in the morning, Sister Lan and Sister Ping came to ask Zhuo Xuan to go to the market together, which was already arranged last night.Sister Lulan told Zhuo Xuan that the kid who brought the whole pig's head home yesterday was beaten up by his father.There is a custom in their family, that is, every year on the eve of the New Year's Eve, pig heads are used to worship ancestors.This pig's head was used to worship the ancestors, so it's no wonder it wasn't beaten.Fortunately, during the Chinese New Year, there are many people slaughtering pigs, so it would be fine to buy one.

The market only has a single number, and there are also dishes that are open continuously for several days during the Chinese New Year.

The market is not big, just beside a big river, the name is Wang Erxi, and there is actually an allusion in it.

I want to wear it a long time ago, the transportation was not developed, and only boats passed by. In the war, a mother sent all the good sons of the family to the boat and asked them to defend the mountains and rivers of the motherland. Every day, there will be a mother waiting here, waiting. Her child came back, day after day, after a long time, and the child still hadn't come back. Everyone advised her not to wait, the child might have died, but the mother insisted on waiting here every day until she died , also did not come back.

The mother looks at the distant ships every day, looking forward to the return of her son.There was the name Wangerxi, but later it was said that the name was not good, so it was changed to Wangerxi.

When arriving at the market, there is still a long way to go. They are all made of stone steps, and the length of each step is different. According to my grandfather, she doesn’t know how long it took to build the road here. He has had this fair since he was a kid.

On the way down the mountain, there is a Guanyin Temple. The temple is not available, and there is only one Guanyin. Watching people coming and going every day, bless them for a safe journey.Avalokitesvara sits down and burns incense candles all the year round, all of which are burned by the guests who come and go.For grandma's age, every time they come and go, they will worship.Speak this blessed word.

In the past few days of the Chinese New Year, the incense here is even more vigorous.The two elder sisters pulled Zhuo Xuan to kneel down to Goddess Guanyin.

After walking through the Guanyin Temple, we arrived at the market for a while.

At the gate of the market, there are haircuts for people, one yuan per person. This master has been doing this here for generations. Grandpa cuts hair here. It is not used to changing someone's grandfather.

I remember a funny time, my grandfather went to my uncle’s house for several months, and his hair has been uncut, and it has grown long. My uncle took him to have a haircut, and when I sat down, I saw the barber’s sexy hairstyle, which scared my grandfather. .The hairdresser kept his hair long, arched in the middle, and tied into a ponytail at the back, very artistic.Look at the hairdresser's hairstyle, and you can cut your hair no matter what grandpa says.Finally, when I got home, I asked the master at the gate of the market to get it done, and they fixed it with a few "chugs" with a hair clipper.

The market is not very big or wide, but it is very lively and crowded.The shop is not a rolling door, but a kind of wooden door, one piece by one, with a wooden board on the outside. There are many kinds of things to buy, which is a combination of modern and ancient.

There are a lot of snacks, half of which are handmade, delicious scallion pancakes, delicious big meat buns and steamed buns, the ingredients are very real, and you can buy a big one for [-] cents.

Everyone was carrying a basket with vegetables and meat in it, and everyone was very happy.Pass by the booth and say hello to the owner.

Sister Lan has a shop at home, not very big, and the shoes are sold for a pair of cloth shoes and rubber shoes that cost a few dollars or more.Don't look cheap, very practical.

The three of them first went to Sister Lan's shop. When Aunt Tang saw them coming, she was very enthusiastic. There were fruits and sugar cane, so she brought good snacks.Sister Lan will help my aunt to look after the store whenever she is not in class. It is popular to wear new clothes during the New Year. Business is the best during the New Year. Earn a fortune before the New Year to make the New Year even better. comfortable.

After Aunt Tang found out, she was very generous and let people go. It's already the 28th, and most of the things that should be bought have been bought. Many of the people who came to the market came to watch the fun, and they were bored at home when they had nothing to do.

Zhuo Xuan rushed into the crowd and went to buy two freshly baked sesame seed cakes. This sesame seed cake is Zhuo Xuan's favorite food. Every time she comes to her grandmother's house, she always makes it. It is said that it is a secret recipe handed down from one's family, but it was taught to others. Why is it passed down from one's ancestors? , I just don’t know it’s the ancestral tradition.

When I found the two sisters, there was an extra boy talking to Sister Ping, and Sister Ping looked very shy.

At first glance, there was gossip to read, and she didn't even eat the pancakes, and ran directly, "Sister Ping." Zhuo Xuan smiled ambiguously, and winked at Sister Ping.

Sister Lan covered her mouth and smiled, not saying anything.Sister Ping's face was flushed red.

Zhuo Xuan touched her face, and said in a very disgusting way; "Hey, as a human being, I still have self-knowledge. I know that some people must dislike me in their hearts and ask why I am here. Sister Lan, let's go, don't be here. It's an eyesore here."

Sister Lan watched Zhuo Xuan playing tricks, she couldn't bear to know it, but couldn't help but burst out laughing.The boy was also thin-skinned and blushed.

Seeing that Sister Ping was about to turn into anger, Zhuo Xuan pulled Sister Lan who was still smiling and ran away. After running for a certain distance, she reincarnated and said to the two of them, "Remember to bring me soup."

Zhuo Xuan turned on the gossip mode and asked Sister Lan to tell her the story of the two of them.

The story of Sister Ping is very old-fashioned. The two are classmates in junior high school. The boy likes Sister Ping very much. Yes, it is said that they will get married next year or the year after.Said that the south will come to the door tomorrow.

Hearing that there will be fun tomorrow, Zhuo Xuan was immediately excited, and planned to go to Sister Ping's house to have a happy event tomorrow.
