The Splendid Peasant Girl of Space

Chapter 20 Going to the Market
At this moment, Shen Qingyu was following closely behind Shen Qingyan, for this, Shen Qingyan could only express her deep helplessness.

"Cousin Qingyan, are you also on the mountain?" Sister Shen Qingyan was concentrating on digging bamboo shoots, when suddenly a childish female voice came from behind.

Shen Qingyan looked back and saw that Song Cuihua was leading an eight or nine-year-old girl, climbing up with a shovel on her shoulder.

"It turned out to be my aunt and Qiaolan. Why did you go up the mountain?" Shen Qingyan saw that the face of the girl next to Song Cuihua was somewhat similar to hers, so she guessed that it must be her daughter Liu Qiaolan, so she asked with a smile.Although Jiangping Village and Yongfang Village are not far apart, they usually don't come here, so she asked this question.

"Hey, I'm not afraid of your jokes if I say it. Didn't our family get a few wild eggs from Yu'er? Qiaolan heard that they picked them up on Yongfang Mountain, so I'll try my luck if I make trouble. No, I was too troubled by her." Although the words in his mouth were complaining, his eyes were full of love.

Shen Qingyan was moved when she saw their mother-daughter interaction. If Song Cuiyun was still alive, maybe she would love them so much.

This thought was just moving in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face. He said with a smile: "It's a coincidence, we have been digging bamboo shoots on the mountain for the past two days, maybe we will find them in a while."

"Mother, let's go with Cousin Qingyan and the others, aren't we also here to dig bamboo shoots?" Liu Qiaolan said in a low voice, shaking Song Cuihua's sleeve.

"Yeah, aunt, let's go together. If we really come across a mountain egg later, we won't take it." Shen Qingyu said bluntly.

"Nonsense, how can Auntie compete with you for a few eggs?" Song Cuihua saw that Shen Qingyan had already filled a lot of bamboo shoots in her bag, and asked her inexplicably, "Qingyan, why are you digging up so many bamboo shoots? No matter how full you are.”

"Isn't there not much wild vegetables in this season? It happens to be the time when bamboo shoots are produced. In previous years, Qingyan would go to the mountains to dig a lot of wild vegetables to supplement the family." Shen Qingyan explained with a smile, "No, there will be a market in the town tomorrow. Is it in the market, Qingyan thought about digging more, and then I can buy some useful things with some money."

Speaking of this, she glanced at Liu, and then said: "Maybe we have to take my uncle's ox cart to the town tomorrow, and I have to trouble my aunt to go back and tell my uncle."

"Then there's nothing troublesome. They're all my own people. Okay, I'll tell him when I get back and ask him to wait for you at the intersection tomorrow." Song Cuihua didn't think much about it, and said while digging bamboo shoots, reluctant to lift her head. a bit.

The country people go to the town to go to the market, just to carry some wild products that are produced in the fields and dug out of the mountains to sell, so that they can be exchanged for some small money.

Uncle Liu Chunsheng’s family, the biggest pressure is to give his parents money for soup and medicine. For this reason, Liu Daming’s private school is no longer available, but now the two old people have to let their grandson go to school. The couple are filial and save food and money. , as long as there are some good things at home, they are sold in the town, and sometimes they go to the mountains to buy some game, pick some wild vegetables, plan some mountain products such as bamboo shoots, and sell them in the town for a little money, little by little. Slowly accumulating, just in order to afford the son to study while the parents can continue to drink medicine.

To go to the market or go to the town to sell things, you have to get up early in the morning. Generally, servants from rich families come out early in the morning to buy. If you go late, you won't be able to occupy a good position, and the things will not be sold.

After saying hello to Song Cuihua, Shen Qingyan led everyone a little further inside, and met many women who went up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots, but because Song Cuihua was popular, no one cared, anyway, it was something that had no owner.

At noon, Song Cuihua's bag was almost full of bamboo shoots. Liu Qiaolan was a little depressed because she couldn't find the eggs, but this didn't stop her from helping her mother dig the bamboo shoots.

This kind of Liu Qiaolan made Shen Qingyan a little funny, when she was going down the mountain, she specially ordered Shen Qingyu to wrap around Song Cuihua and let them go around her house before going back.She herself rushed home one step at a time, and brought out four wild eggs. Now she has chickens and eggs in her space, which is enough to eat.

"Qiaolan, take it, take these four eggs back and eat." Seeing Song Cuihua and the others approaching, she hurriedly stuffed the eggs into Song Cuihua's bag, and said, "Auntie, the eggs are easy to break, don't touch them."

"How embarrassing is this, you should keep it for yourselves. Didn't you already give it last time? I'll leave this egg for Yu'er to eat." Song Cuihua subconsciously wanted to take it out.

"Auntie, you are still being polite to me. Yu'er still has two more. If I go to town tomorrow to exchange money, I can buy them for her. But Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu need to make up for their health." Shen Qingyan knew that even if Liu Chunsheng tomorrow They were reluctant to use the money, and said: "Besides, this egg is pulled in and out. If it accidentally falls on the ground, no one can eat it. Isn't it a pity? So, auntie, don't refuse us." gone."

On the second day, before dawn, the moonlight hanging from the west shone through the sparse weeds. Shen Qingyan tidied her clothes, and Shen Qingyu also got up there, and she also tidied her clothes. Laughing with excitement.

Ever since she learned yesterday that she was going to the town to go to the market today, she had been excited for half the night, but her eyes were still a little dazed.

She has never been to the town, but she heard from sister Qiaolan that there are many delicious, fun, and beautiful things there, and today she can finally go and see it with her own eyes.

Originally, Shen Qingyan didn't want them to follow, but she couldn't help Shen Qingyu's soft and cute look, and she was also afraid that what would happen if someone bullied Shen Qingyu while she was away, if there was another one with such thoughts like Sun Lan When the time comes, she won't be able to find a place to cry.

Seeing that Shen Qingyu arranged her clothes and shoes easily, Shen Qingyan patted her little head lightly, "Yu'er, are you still sleepy, why don't we go?" She wanted to tease the child.

"Why?" Shen Qingyu's drowsiness was suddenly awakened by fright, "Didn't my sister already talk to my aunt, if we don't go, they will be anxious." She spoke quickly and anxiously, for fear that Shen Qingyan would really He decided not to go, "Also, don't we still have bamboo shoots to sell?" He said, looking at the cloth bag in the corner.

"But my sister's Yu'er still wants to sleep..." Shen Qingyan was interrupted before she finished speaking, "Who said I want to sleep, am I awake? I even put on my clothes, sister, let's go Come on, Yu'er promises to be obedient." At the end of the speech, there was a bit of crying in her tone.
