big sister headed home

Chapter 29

"Big sister, 'Take us with you tomorrow' I haven't been to the county yet." Dou Lin hugged Dou Hua's leg and begged.

"Eldest sister' and I'm going too." Xiao Dou Hong hugged another Dou Hua's leg and pouted her mouth coquettishly.

"You want to go to the county so much? Actually, there's nothing to see there, but it's just bigger than the village." Dou Hua stroked her two small heads.

"It's definitely different, take us there. We've never been there, so let's go see the world." Dou Lin said.

"Yo' my family, Lin'er, knows how to see the world, okay' there's nothing to do anyway' our family will go together' Qing'er and Cui'er will also go' it happens that our family has a donkey' then borrow a car and ride together Going to 'saves the tiring walking." Dou Hua agreed.

"Oh~ oh~ that's great, I can go to the county too. That's great, big sister." Dou Lin cheered happily.

Little Dou Hong clapped her hands happily, and started giggling. Dou Cui didn't say anything, but she had a smile on her face, obviously very happy. Only Dou Qing stood there and shook her head helplessly, thinking that her elder sister was really Doting on these two little ones too much, and clinging to everything, will they be spoiled?
In order to take a few children to the county town together, Dou Hua borrowed a car from Uncle Li's house, and then cleaned up the house. She was worried that someone would sneak in to get things when her family was not at home, so Dou Hua gave the kitchen to the family A bag of white flour was moved into the cellar, leaving only a small half bag of coarse grains, and the silver kept at home was also carefully hidden, making sure that no one would find it. That's right, they are all ordinary and worn-out furniture items, even if they are stolen, they will not be appreciated, and if they are stolen back, they will be easily discovered, after all, these things are the easiest to recognize.

The next day, just before dawn, the family got up early, had a simple breakfast, locked the door, and greeted the neighbor's A Tao, asking her to take time to help take care of the house.

Get ready, put on the donkey cart, the family sits on it, and wobbles towards the county seat.Although donkeys do not have the stamina of oxen, they travel fast. They are not slow at all on their four legs. They can also trot, which is much faster than ox carts.

Little Huizi is very smart. He knows how to automatically avoid pedestrians and vehicles. Sometimes when he wants to overtake someone, he will raise his head and yell loudly. When the person or vehicle in front hears the sound, he will automatically dodge some Therefore, although Dou Hua has no experience in driving a cart, the donkey cart still walks steadily on the mainland. When she needs it, she only needs to shout a few words, and Xiaohuizi can understand and walk according to the instructions. There is no need for a whip.

"Little Huizi is so obedient and obedient." Dou Qing sighed, this is the most humane donkey he has ever seen, he likes it very much.

"That's right, Little Huizi is an important member of our family, you should treat it well." Dou Hua said.

"That's right, we mulch the freshest grass for it every day. Wheat bran is mixed in its grass, which is better than what our rabbits eat. Sister, you see, it has only been in our house for more than a month. You've gained so much weight." Dou Lin looked at his donkey anxiously, and babbled a lot of words from his bald mouth.

"That's because it was too thin before, but now that it eats well, it naturally gains weight obviously." Dou Hua said.

"Sister, there are so many people on the road, are they all going to the county seat?" Xiao Dou Hong looked around with her small head, curious about everything, and looked more often when she saw a donkey.

"Yes, these are all going to the county town, but there are not many people now. If they catch up with the market, there will be many people at that time. The road is full of people, all of whom are going to the market." Dou Hua said.

"Oh, that's it. When we go to the market next time, Eldest Sister will bring us there again, okay, Eldest Sister? I want to see how many people go to the market." Dou Hong coquettishly said with her arms around Dou Hua.

"Okay, okay, don't worry, I will bring you here often in the future." Dou Hua smiled.

Along the way, the siblings were chatting and laughing, it was very lively, time passed quickly, and within an hour, the donkey cart came to the gate of the county seat, and Dou Hua first found a storage place for the donkey cart. When he got up, he carried a small bamboo basket on his back and led his younger siblings around the county town.

There are three streets in Qingyang County, one of which is where the hotel is located, and the other is the East Street near the city gate where Dou Hua often comes. The streets here are wide and there are many shops. Vendors set up stalls on both sides of the street to sell goods, and people come and go very lively. Today is the seventh day of the lunar new year, not a day to go to the market. There are only a few peddlers with burdens to set up stalls to sell goods. The shops on the street are all open. Yes, people went into the shop to buy things. Although it was not as lively as the market, there were people coming and going, which was much more lively than in the village.

Dou Cui, Dou Lin, and Dou Hong are young people who have entered the city for the first time, and everything they see is very fresh. They all look around with wide eyes, and when they see something interesting and don’t understand it, they will ask Dou Hua, Dou Hua also knew everything, told them everything she knew, and pointed to various shops on the street, telling them what they were doing one by one,
"Look, the one with the word 'cloth' on this wooden sign is a cloth store, and this one, the one with the word 'medicine' is a pharmacy, this is a steamed stuffed bun shop, this is a dim sum shop, this is a grain and oil shop, This is where we buy the white noodles we eat, and there is also a seasoning store that sells oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and various seasonings..."

Dou Hua was not in a hurry to buy things, and while walking, she introduced what this shop was for a few small people, just thinking that the small people would have an understanding in advance and gradually become familiar with the environment of the county.In the future, even if something happens by myself, I won't panic.

When passing by the dim sum shop, Dou Hua bought a pack of dim sum for a few small snacks to satisfy their cravings, and when they were in the cloth shop, she picked up bright colors and bought two pieces of ruler for her two younger sisters.

A few days ago, Dou Hua pulled some fabrics. She originally wanted to make clothes for the little ones, but she didn't succeed and wanted her elder sister Dou Cui to secretly make a new dress for her. She was already tall With a wide body, the not-so-small piece of fabric is enough to make a dress for her. Dou Cui is small, but her hands are dexterous, so she cut out the fabric and made a piece of it for her. Dou Cui sewed the blue and white top stitch by stitch. When she took it out for Dou Hua to try on a few days ago, Dou Hua was completely shocked.

Never imagined that Dou Cui has such craftsmanship, the clothes she makes are so good, the stitches are fine, and the seams are tight. Dou Hua tried it on, and it fit very well. She was very moved. She immediately gave Dou Cui a big hug, and the two sisters had a good time. Sisters love each other deeply and cherish each other.

"Big sister, our clothes are ready. You don't need to buy fabrics for us. These fabrics are so expensive, so I don't want them anymore." Dou Cui is sensible. She didn't know the price of fabrics before. , immediately felt that it was too expensive, lightly tugged on Dou Hua's sleeve, and asked her not to buy it in a low voice.

"It's okay, my eldest sister has new clothes, and you naturally have new clothes to wear. Don't worry, our family still has the money to buy cloth. It's not short of this money. You can see which color of fabric you like and tell the elder sister. " Dou Hua comforted her.

"Sister, I want that pink one. It's pretty, and I like it." Xiao Dou Hong was young, but she didn't think too much about it. She was happy to hear that there were new clothes to wear, pointing to a piece of bright peach pink fabric with her little finger.

"Okay, I'll buy it for you, Tweety, which color do you like?" Dou Hua asked.

"It should be the same color fabric as the one my eldest sister bought last time." Dou Cui said.

"Well, okay, we are wearing sisters' outfits." Dou Hua smiled and asked the cloth shop owner to tear up the cloth. The cloths of Dou Qing and Dou Lin are much easier to choose. I bought it last time, and this time I will buy it. No need to buy.

After buying fabrics, Dou Hua led a few small ones to shoe stores and clothing stores. She picked out a pair of sturdy dark blue shoes and a set of navy blue underwear according to the size given by her aunt. The clothing store sent a pair of matching clothes. A dark blue belt, so the return gift for the man is ready.

The medium-sized shoes cost 120 renminbi, and the fabric of the clothes and trousers is good, but the price is relatively expensive. It cost one or two and a half silver, which is still a bargain.

After spending so much money, Dou Hua felt a bit pained, but it was worth it after thinking about it. The fabrics were expensive in the first place, and the clothes she bought were too big, and the fabric was used a lot. The price is also suitable after including the manual cost of sewing. Yes, if I let her buy cloth and make it herself, I don’t know how to do it in the year of the monkey. It’s convenient to spend money on it. Thinking about it, Dou Hua thinks it’s worth it, especially if it’s a gift for the other party. It’s too bad. Unreasonable.

After some shopping, Dou Hua bought some soy sauce, vinegar and seasonings at the seasoning shop, and finally went to the butcher shop. After buying the meat, their trip was over.

Dou Hua led a few small ones to the butcher's shop, because she had bought them before, and this time she was familiar with the way, so she found them quickly. There was an eight-foot man standing in front of the butcher's shop, shouting loudly. The butcher shop owner, "Boss, bring me ten catties of meat. I want the best and fresh ones. I don't want stale ones."

"Okay, no problem. My pigs are all killed today to ensure freshness. Look at this piece, but the best pork belly is the most delicious in stir-fried vegetables and stewed vegetables. It is also the best to make dumplings." Meat The shop owner pointed to a piece of meat.

"Well, let me see, it's not bad, that's all, I want ten catties, no more, no less, you can be on time with the knife." The big man said.

"Understood, this must be meat for engagement gifts, right? They say that good things come in pairs, and you buy even numbers when you buy meat. Don't worry, I'm an old butcher, so I'll be on time." The butcher shop owner cut the meat off A piece of meat, put it on the scale and weigh it, it is just right when it is ten catties high.

"Well, not bad, do you have oil paper, pack it for me." The big man said.

Dou Hua saw the back of the big man familiar from a distance, and when she heard his voice, she was sure that it was none other than that idiot.
