Farmer's Ruyi Manor

Chapter 18: Going to the market (2)
"Hurry up, or you won't be able to catch up with the ox cart. Mother already made an agreement with the elder son of your village chief's cousin yesterday, and you will pay him for the car when you come back. Hurry up, or I'm going to throw off the quilt."

Seeing Xiao Ting's bewildered look, Jing Niang had no choice but to lift Xiao Ting's quilt.Xiao Ting shivered unexpectedly, as if a gust of cold air had been injected into her brain, she woke up in an instant, "Mother, what are you doing, why are you throwing my quilt up, what should I do if I catch a cold?"

"Quickly put on your clothes and come out to wash. I'm going to the market today, or I won't be able to catch the ox cart."

"Oh, I see, mother, wait for me." These two mornings, Xiao Ting woke up as if fighting a war, that speed was not comparable to her in modern times.

Jingniang was speechless when she saw that her daughter was wearing the same ponytail as yesterday. When Xiao Ting was washing her face, she casually tied two small buns for her. She looked like a little maid, but the clothes on her body were too thick. It's just tattered.

Jing Niang looked at her daughter and wondered if it was because of the oil and water in the past two days, the complexion on her face was much better than the previous few days, and she couldn't help but feel relieved.

The two women held hands and walked towards the big banyan tree.From a distance, many people could be seen standing there with baskets in their hands.Xiao Ting and Jian Qian Niang were holding a basket each.There were 5 pheasants in the cheap mother's basket, and Xiao Ting's had 2 pheasants, 5 pheasants, and some half-dried bamboo shoots that she thought she had dried.In fact, she didn't want to take it, and she wanted to keep it for herself to eat later, but her mother saw that the cooking last night was delicious, so she asked her to try it in the morning, so she insisted on taking it, which weighed about five or six catties.

"Hey, who am I talking about? It's early in the morning, and the sun is going to come out in the west today. People who don't go to the market once in 800 years are actually going to the market today. Cut..." Shitou Niang looked disdainful. look.

"That's right, I said how can poor ghosts have money to ride a car? Some time ago, I didn't know who came to my house and insisted on asking me to borrow money to borrow food. Now they are actually going to the market and have money to ride a car. Hit the west side and where do you come from?" Fu Niuniang echoed.

Xiao Ting knew that her mother would definitely say that she couldn't match the duo who seemed to be owed a lot, and she didn't know how honest her mother was.Looking at my mother's face, I was very worried.

"Mom, is there someone who didn't brush their teeth this morning? Why can you smell it here when you start talking?" When Xiao Ting finished speaking, she fanned her nose with her hand, as if she smelled something. The smell that should be smelled actually means very clearly, that is, some people don't brush their teeth in the morning, so their mouths are so smelly.

Jing Niang smiled silently, at this time, some people beside the ox cart had already lowered their heads and snickered.The combination of the two owed women, with various colors on their faces, is a wonderful scene.

The eldest son of the village chief's uncle's family pretended to cough, and then said: "Okay, get in the car quickly, we are leaving."

At this time, the two women came to their senses: "What do children know, but they talk nonsense in the early morning. It is true that there is a child born by a mother and not raised by a father."

Hearing this, many people frowned. Doesn't this mean that there is no man in the family, or that the man is dead? Isn't this a curse in disguise?
When Jing Niang heard this, her face turned dark: "Ms. Shitou, what do you mean?"

"I don't mean anything. What do you want to do so much? I didn't name anyone. Why do you want to be seated?" Shi Niang curled her lips in disdain, her eyes turned towards Xiaoting and the others.

Jing Niang was trembling with anger, Xiao Ting was really afraid that she would faint from anger.The helpless sigh seemed to be talking to himself, but the voice that everyone could hear said: "Today is really unlucky, I didn't read the almanac when I went out, and I heard two crows screaming again early in the morning."

Some of the women on the bullock cart laughed loudly, Jiang Shitou Niang and Fu Niu Niang were angry and irritable and couldn't say anything, they couldn't sit down and admit that they were the two crows.She kept rolling her eyes towards Xiaoting.Xiao Ting doesn't care about her, it's best to be mad, this kind of low-level woman, with such a smelly mouth, ruins her good mood early in the morning.

As the bullock cart swayed slowly, the sky gradually changed from dark to hazy and then to bright.At this time, Xiao Ting was already sleeping in her mother's arms, so she didn't know what Jinxi was.Jing Niang gently shook her daughter: "Xiao Hua, we're here, come down quickly, don't fall asleep."

"Um, are you here yet?" Xiao Ting rubbed her eyes with her hands, wiped the corners of her mouth with her sleeve, and then let her mother carry her down. "Mom, why are there so many people in this market, where are we going to put our things?" Seeing that Huangcun is much better than their Chengjiakeng.The road is flat and wide, and the houses of the villagers are much better than their Chengjiakeng. Generally speaking, they are at least at the level of the village chief's cousin's house.

"This is where more than a dozen nearby villages go to the market on the fifteenth and last day of each month, so there are more people. Besides these people, some bosses, housekeepers and shopkeepers in the town also come here every month. , to see if there is anything they need, they will take it back. There are also some small vendors who will bring things to buy at this time of the month. You take the basket and see if there is anything good. Seat, hurry up and take one."

"Okay, mother, is that place over there okay? A small place next to the pork stall should be enough. This is a rare time, and there should be more people buying meat." Xiao Ting saw that the distance was less than three meters away. There is a pork stall next to the place, and there is a small space, maybe it can be occupied.You must know that the location is in the middle of the entire market.Not to mention the high flow of people, this pork stall is the largest one I have seen in the whole market. There must be a lot of people buying meat, and it can also drive the flow of people invisibly.So he pulled her mother's sleeve and suggested to her mother.

"Well, there are so many people now, and I don't know if there are any other places, so go there first to occupy them. Mother will put two pheasants to your place. You stay here first, and Mother will go to other places to see if there are any other ones. It's a good location, if people don't like it, you can come to find your mother to know, mother will go this way."

"Okay, by the way, mother, how much is the pheasant per catty, and how much is the wild egg. You tell me first." Xiao Ting held the mother who was about to leave.

"Pheasant chicken costs 5 cents a catty, and wild eggs cost [-] cents just like domestic eggs. You can sell the bamboo shoots yourself." He hurried to find a better place.In fact, Xiao Ting thinks that no matter how good the position is, it is not as good as the current position.

So he stepped forward and smiled at the big man who looked like three big and five thick, with a beard and beard that looked extremely ferocious: "Uncle, can I use this position?"

Unexpectedly, the big man's eyes were wide open, and he said with surprise, "Aren't you afraid of me?" You must know that other children are always scared to cry when they see him.This kid is so weird, I'm not afraid that he is still smiling at him.

"Uncle, you don't look fierce at all, why should I be afraid of you? By the way, Uncle, can I use this position?"
