happy life rebirth

Chapter 28

Xia Xiaohong licked the mung bean popsicle in her hand, and narrowed her eyes happily: "Well... this taste that is buried in the depths of my memory is really nostalgic." Xia Xiaohong smashed her mouth secretly thought.

"Xia Xia." Yang Ximei also held a mung bean popsicle in her hand, and said vaguely, "Thank you for inviting me to eat the popsicle."

Xia Xiaohong frowned at Yang Ximei and said, "You're welcome, which one of us is with whom! Besides, this mung bean popsicle is only five cents; I remember someone said—she wants to treat me To eat rice tofu, it costs [-] cents a bowl; why?"

Xia Xiaohong deliberately gave Yang Ximei an angry sideways glance: "Could it be that some people want to renege on their promises and get fat, and words don't count?"

"Hey..." Yang Ximei took a look at Xia Xiaohong and couldn't help laughing: "Haha...you! I have been playing tricks since I was a child, so there is really nothing you can do about it."

The two have known each other since they were young, and Yang Ximei has long been used to Xia Xiaohong's nonsensical attitude towards her; the two have just sold their stinky mandarin buds at the agricultural machinery station that buys scraps, and a basket has already been dried The stinky mandarin buds that have been bought are said to be more, not more, and not less; because every time two people meet to pick up the stinky mandarin buds, they are sold at the same time - both of them are a little more than eight catties.

When Xia Xiaohong received more than four yuan from the person who bought the stinky orange buds, she was so excited!Huh... Finally, she has money, even when she handled 10,000+ before rebirth; she is not as excited as when she received more than four yuan in her hand now.

The sun had already set in the sky, and more and more people were rushing to the market; the sparsely populated streets were gradually becoming crowded, and shouts and shouts rang out from all over the avenue.

Although there are many kinds of seasonal vegetables in this summer, what - eggplant, pepper, water spinach, cucumber, pumpkin, wax gourd, green beans, long beans, foreign peppers (also called tomatoes)... In short, there are all kinds of everything , although there are many types of vegetables; because everyone is a commoner in a nearby village and town, does that person have no vegetable plots in their homes?So basically every household grows these vegetables.

But even so, when it comes to market day, many people will go to the vegetable field early in the morning to pick fresh and juicy vegetables to sell. After all, no family will plant all the vegetables; for example Some people don’t grow foreign chili peppers in their homes, so she will buy a few catties of foreign chili peppers to go home on the market day; in this way, the business is still very good, after all, there are a lot of people in these towns and villages; even if the profit is small The income from multi-sales is also considerable, and most of the income of many families throughout the year comes from this.

In those days, the income in rural areas was not good!However, the consumption of each family is not much. No one used coal or liquefied petroleum gas in the countryside at that time; basically every household used firewood for cooking, and all the firewood was cut down on the mountain by themselves.

Vegetables are grown in my own field, and the rice I eat is also grown in my own field; chickens and ducks are also fed by myself, and I always eat it several times a year. It doesn’t matter how you say it... The villagers still value some traditional festivals very much. , such as the Dragon Boat Festival on May [-]th, and the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th; every time these relatively important traditional festivals, even if the conditions at home are not good; they will kill chickens and ducks to eat Good meal.

Generally, the place where money is needed is to buy daily necessities such as salt and soy sauce, and pesticides and fertilizers, which are indispensable necessities for rural people; if it is not enough... the family will have to tear a few pieces of cloth to make two clothes all year round.

"Xia Xia, Sister Man, why did you two little girls come to the market so early in the morning?" A slightly chubby woman in her 40s walked up to her and called out to Xia Xiaohong and Yang Ximei from a distance. up.

Yang Ximei curled her lips lightly and said unhappily: "Huh...how unlucky, I ran into a broom star early in the morning."

Xia Xiaohong almost couldn't help laughing out at Yang Ximei's words, this fat woman Xia Xiaohong also has an impression; her man's surname is Li's family is next to the grain drying field in the village, and every year they will offend many villages because of the competition for the grain drying field Hewanli Village has a large grain drying field. Speaking of which, the grain drying field was originally a product of the public; later it was assigned to the production team.

There are a total of seven production teams in Hewanli Village, and the sun-drying field with the largest lottery results was assigned to the sixth production team; that is, the production team that Xia Xiaohong and Yang Ximei belonged to, and a production team had dozens of households at any rate; Conflicts arose when the rice was harvested and the millet was dried. Many families would quarrel over the issue of drying the grain; sometimes they would even fight.

And the Li family who lives next to the sun-drying field is even more outstanding among them, especially this top-notch woman from the Li family; within a few years, almost the entire production team was offended by her, and this woman can be regarded as a Excellent; every time there is a quarrel, I will greet the eighteen generations of the family's ancestors one by one, but after a few days, I will go to other people's houses like a normal person; er...by the way, I will take advantage of it.

Xia Xiaohong can understand Yang Ximei's mood, and Yang Ximei's mother is also very powerful; this daughter-in-law of the Li family has fought with Yang Ximei's mother several times, so it is no wonder that Yang Ximei can't like her.

"Your Majesty, you're here too!" Xia Xiaohong stretched out her hand and pulled Yang Ximei's sleeve, and greeted her with a smile.

"That's right! Brother Shitou is clamoring to eat meat, why don't you hurry up and buy a few catties of pork belly and go back to make braised pork for your brother Shitou."

Li Shengli, the name of the stone, is the only precious son of the Li family. Compared with his best old mother; this stone belonging to the "Lao Laizi" is very popular in Hewanli Village, especially among a group of boys. the taste of.

"Really? Ma'am, you have to go early, or the pork belly will be sold out long ago." Xia Xiaohong reminded the other party.

In the first few years, life was not as good as it is now, and many people basically bought fat meat; there is no way!There is no oily water in my stomach and I am panicking, and now my life is getting better; fewer people buy fatty meat, and more people are more and more fond of pork belly; the dishes that are moderately fat and thin can be very good eat.

The daughter-in-law of the Li family thought about it, she turned her head and left without thinking about chatting with Xia Xiaohong any more; Yang Ximei breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh... I finally left, every time I see this woman, I feel uncomfortable .”

Yang Ximei is about the same age as Xia Xiaohong, that is, one or two years older; girls of this age don't know how to hide their inner emotions, whether they like it or hate it, it's all obvious on their faces.

Xia Xiaohong pursed her lips and smiled secretly, what did she just want to say to Yang Ximei?Not far away, someone called out again: "Xia Xia, Sister Man is here to catch up!"

Uh... isn't this nonsense?Walking on the field with a basket is not rushing to the field, what would it be?Xia Xiaohong felt depressed in her heart!Why didn't I notice it before?It turns out that country people are really speechless when they say hello.

No matter what you think in your heart, it seems that there must be drops here! "Man Niang, are you coming to the market too?"

"That's right! I've eaten up all the salt at home, and I'm here to buy some food by the way."

"Xia Xia, Sister Man." Another man came over and called Xia Xiaohong and Yang Ximei affectionately.

"It's full!"

However, within ten minutes, Xia Xiaohong and Yang Ximei greeted more than a dozen so-called "elders"; ) Let's find a place to rest? The sun is too hot to bear."

As soon as the words came out, both of them couldn't help laughing, Xia Xiaohong smiled and said: "Sister Man, there are too many acquaintances here, let's find a place where there is no sun to sit for a while; what do you think?"

"Okay!" Yang Ximei is the same, no child likes to say hello to adults, uh...it's still the kind of endless cycle.
