Chapter 154 Going to the Market
It was evening when Jiang Yang returned from his grandparents' house.

The night was silent, and it was the next day.

Today is New Year's Eve, after today is the new year.

On the [-]th day, the main thing to prepare is actually the New Year’s Eve dinner.On this day, everyone will use the best ingredients to make the most delicious New Year's Eve dinner.

Early in the morning, Uncle Jiang Yang got up and rode his dilapidated motorcycle to the market.

Here in Jiangyang's hometown, the market is divided into days, and the place to go to the market is different every day.However, there are also special days, such as the [-]th day, that is, every place can go to the market.

Vendors, big and small, bring New Year’s goods to the market. People don’t need to sell them, and people will naturally buy them.

After going out to work for a year, most people will not be stingy with a little money when they go home for the New Year.

On the street, there are countless Spring Festival couplets, door gods and New Year pictures for sale.Some set up a small booth in front of their own shops; some were padded with plastic film on the spot and placed one above the other.

When people choose Spring Festival couplets, they don't care too much about the artistic conception and neatness. What they care about most is the meaning of the Spring Festival couplets. As long as the couplets are written with good words and blessings, they will naturally make people happy.

Secondly, I am also very concerned about the size of the Spring Festival couplets. Even people who have no money will buy a pair of Spring Festival couplets that are the largest they can afford and paste them in front of the living room door.

Jiang Yang hadn't gone to the market for a year, and this New Year's Eve market was different from usual.On weekdays, young people go out to work, leaving only some elderly people and some people who rely on the fields to eat.In this way, there are not too many people who go to the market on weekdays, and it is sparse.

During the Chinese New Year, people who go out to work go home to celebrate the New Year, the number of people going to the market increases rapidly, and the market is very lively.Coupled with the festive atmosphere during the Chinese New Year, the feeling of going to the market is naturally different.

Jiang Yang went to the market with Jiang Xiaoyu after his uncle left.

The market is very small, just two streets. If you are in a hurry, you can walk through it in less than 10 minutes.

On both sides of the street are commercial and residential buildings, which are uneven.This was built by their own family back then, and there was no unified plan, so some are taller and some are shorter, and even the styles of the buildings are different.

Generally, the downstairs is the storefront. Of course, not every household sells things, some people just use them for their own use.

In the past few years, there were only a few shops in this place, selling some miscellaneous small things.Now there are several supermarkets, although they are not big, they can meet people's daily needs.

Jiang Yang and Jiang Xiaoyu were walking on the street together, neither of them had anything they wanted to buy.Just to go out for a stroll, one is to miss, and the other is to go out for a walk.

Just as they were walking and chatting, a voice interrupted their chat: "Xiaoyu!"

Jiang Xiaoyu searched for the sound and saw that it was an old classmate.Unlike Jiangyang, Jiang Xiaoyu's primary school was studied in this village school, so it was not surprising to meet old classmates in the market.

"Yang Qian?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked in disbelief.

"Yeah." The other party nodded quickly, and seemed very happy that Jiang Xiaoyu recognized her.

"Wow! You have changed so much, I dare not recognize you so beautiful." Jiang Xiaoyu said exaggeratedly.

"No way! You are as beautiful as ever!" Yang Qian said flatteringly.

Jiang Xiaoyu was really surprised, the previous Yang Qian was not pretty, not only looked fat, but also had freckles on her face.Today's Yang Qian is tall and tall, she should be big, she should be small, she can't see freckles even with makeup on her face, and she is also very fashionable in her clothes. She is really a goddess-level beauty.

Yang Qian on the side was also looking at Jiang Xiaoyu. Although Jiang Xiaoyu didn't dress well, she couldn't hide her beauty.Then he looked at Jiang Yang again, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.

Jiang Yang's figure looks good, and his muscles are not exaggerated. He is more than 1.7 meters tall and his appearance is not bad. He deserves to be called a handsome guy.

"Your boyfriend?" Yang Qian looked at Jiang Xiaoyu and said.

"Are you talking about him? No, this is my brother." Jiang Xiaoyu pointed to Jiang Yang and said.

"Your brother? Why haven't you seen him?" Yang Qian asked in surprise.

"He went out at a very young age, it's normal if you haven't seen him," Jiang Xiaoyu said.

"Oh~ that's it! Xiaoyu, what kind of younger brother do you have, why don't you introduce him?" Yang Qian glanced at Jiang Yang, and teased Jiang Xiaoyu.

"What? Are you interested? Let me tell you, my brother is single!" Jiang Xiaoyu blinked and said.

"Really?" Yang Qian said irrefutably, and at the same time cast a wink at Jiang Yang.

After chatting for a few more words, they separated.Before leaving, Yang Qian asked for Jiang Yang's WeChat.

After Yang Qian walked away, Jiang Yang, who hadn't spoken the whole time, finally said, "Jiang Xiaoyu, do you have a good relationship with that Yang Qian? Just sell me like this!"

"Not good!" Jiang Xiaoyu replied casually.

"Then what about you?" Jiang Yang wondered.

"Aren't you worried that you won't find a girlfriend? In case you see the right way, I can accept it." Jiang Xiaoyu said.

Jiang Yang rolled his eyes and said: "You are still worried about me, you should think about yourself first!"

"Brat, are you looking for death?" Jiang Xiaoyu said, slapping Jiang Yang on the back.

"However, you should be careful. As far as I know, this Yang Qian is not easy. You can play with it. Don't really fall into it, or you will be eaten by the time. Don't blame your sister. I didn't remind you." Jiang Xiaoyu said.

"Are you women all plastic lovers? You were talking and laughing just now, like a good girlfriend you haven't seen for many years, and you just said that in a blink of an eye." Jiang Yang complained.

"Don't talk about me, believe it or not, that's what Yang Qian said when she turned around. This kind of thing is so normal, there's nothing to make a fuss about." Jiang Xiaoyu said.

Jiang Yang couldn't complain, so he didn't continue the topic.

After visiting the market, Jiang Yang and Jiang Xiaoyu went home.At this time, Uncle Jiangyang had already purchased the ingredients for the New Year's Eve dinner, and now he was catching a very important ingredient-fish!

Fish on the New Year's Eve dinner is essential, which means that there will be fish (surplus) every year.The type of fish will also choose carp, because carp leaps over the dragon's gate!We all look forward to good luck, wealth and good health in the coming year, so every detail reflects this beautiful meaning.

Jiang Yang didn't stay idle after he came back, but went to help with fishing.

In the past, fishing required a large net to catch all the fish in the fish pond, then put the small fish into the pond, and pick up the big fish.

Now there is a kind of net called nesting net, which is a very small net and the wires that make up the net are also very thin.Just put the net into the fish pond and hit the water surface with a bamboo stick.After being frightened, the fish scurry around and will be caught on the net.

One advantage of this kind of netting is that you don't have to worry about catching too many fish.Of course, there are also disadvantages, that is, the type of fish you catch depends on luck!

Fortunately, I was lucky today, and the fish I caught happened to be a carp, about three or four catties, and it looked quite big.

Jiang Yang took the initiative to invite Ying to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner, and his uncle did not refuse. After all, after tasting Jiang Yang's handicraft the day before yesterday, he was a little flustered.
