Liu An Hua Ming You Yi Village

Chapter 18

Hehe, this is very similar to Du Yu's original cousin. She can do anything, but kicking the shuttlecock is not enough.Du Yu felt that the third aunt was a little more cordial.

Speaking of it, although the third aunt is not very good-looking, she looks like a working woman in the countryside, but she is a real person and willing to work hard.The farm work in the field is not ambiguous at all, no wonder my grandma married my third uncle back then.

This white flour has been ground twice, which is not considered real white flour. Real white flour has to be ground at least three times to remove more impurities, so the amount is less.

"It's just enough to have a meal of dumplings on the night of New Year's Eve." Qi Shi said: "There is no way to do this. When the days get better, let's eat more white noodles."

She also had to save money to marry daughters-in-law for her fourth and fifth sons.It's really terrible, once the daughter-in-law is married in, she won't care about it.

On the 21st of the twelfth lunar month, the family members got into the donkey cart again and went to the town to do a lot of shopping, because during the Chinese New Year, there are no people and places to buy things anywhere, and the shopping is not enough. During the Chinese New Year, your relative What should I do if I don't have any treats on hand?
People have to give face at any time, and they can be poor at ordinary times, but during the Chinese New Year, no matter what, they have to bring out some good things.

"What is Yu'er going to do? The little girl can't carry anything, so let's go home." Qi Shi said.It's enough to let a few adults go, and it's trouble for children to go.

"Mother, it just so happens that the child's father is coming back today and wants to take a few children for a stroll." Hu said.

Mrs. Qi was about to say something, but Mr. Du said, "Let the elders take the children, and the fifth one can just drive the car."

Mrs. Qi didn't speak anymore, thinking that the eldest brother had worked hard all year round, and it was not worthwhile to take his own children for a stroll, so he stopped talking.

Da Lang and Er Lang are very happy, they usually go to the market, and it is not their turn, this is a rare opportunity, and they are as happy as they are during the New Year to see their father.

The three brothers and sisters got into the donkey cart very excitedly. Du Youquan drove the donkey cart for a while and stopped in a courtyard. It was agreed last night, otherwise Du Youquan would not have been allowed to take Hu and the three children to the town alone. Although Du Youquan is not too old, Hu is just his sister-in-law, and she doesn't look like that. nice.

Mrs. Zhang took a big basket, and Du Yu called out to grandma after a few minutes, "Good boy, are you going to the market now? You have a loyal daughter-in-law, you should come back today."

"Yes, uncle, are you going to sell these chickens today?" Hu asked with a smile.

"No, they are all old hens. They don't lay eggs this year. They are wasting food, so they sell them at the market, so they can buy some chicks next year." It's useless, and you can get some money if you sell it. Besides, this old hen is very nourishing. Taking advantage of this time, there may be rich people buying it.

Speaking of a big family, Mrs. Zhang thought of Du Liu, who had already entered the Qin family as a maid, but thinking that the Youliang couple had almost broken with Qi's side, so she said at this time that she would not wink.

Speaking of which, when I was young, because my brother-in-law spent a lot of money on studying, I had a few quarrels, and the relationship between the two families was not so good.

It's just that I was thinking about my family at the time, otherwise who would afford the five or six taels of Shuxiu every year?In the end, my brother-in-law didn't read anything, and she had more children, so it didn't matter if she confessed.

As for my second younger siblings, they are really important people. They were caught in the fields at home, and life is easier now. They even have donkey carts, and they still rely on two legs.

But Mrs. Zhang didn't regret breaking up with the second child's family at all, otherwise she would still have to provide for the family.

Du Yu and Du Erlang were laughing and joking along the way, and Du Youquan was very happy to be driving in front, but Du Dalang likes to pretend to be an older brother so that the two younger ones should sit down.Mrs. Zhang also praised Du Dalang, "Tongwazi is still older, but more sensible."

So, the two of them are ignorant?Du Erlang and Du Yu sat down quickly, and secretly made faces at Du Dalang, who also secretly smiled.

"Daddy, daddy, we're here." As soon as they arrived in the town, Mrs. Zhang went to the market to sell chickens, and they went to meet Du Youzhong first.

Du Youzhong's parcels have been packed, the cloth shop has closed down, and the shopkeeper and his staff have all gone home for the New Year.

The most lively thing these days is the market selling New Year’s food, such as peanuts, water chestnuts, melon seeds, etc., as well as sugar, and then there are chickens, ducks, fish, New Year pictures and firecrackers. Du Yu feels that if his Grandpa can sell couplets in the market, and he can definitely make a small profit, but the old man's temper, he would never do such a thing, he thinks reading is a very sacred thing, how can he be with copper stinky? stain it?
Therefore, he would only start writing when someone came to ask him to write couplets. If he really wanted to write couplets and sell them, he would definitely not be happy.

"Good boy, let dad hug you, why is it so heavy again?" Du Youzhong didn't see a few children for more than a month, so he immediately hugged Du Erlang. Being hugged by his father, he also burst out laughing.

"Big Brother!" Du Youquan liked seeing Big Brother very much.

"Well, let's go shopping." Du Youzhong said: "Fifth, let's go, what do you like, brother will buy it for you."

Du Youquan said: "Brother, I'm not a kid anymore, I don't need anything, I'm here to watch the donkey cart, you go shopping with sister-in-law and Da Lang."

Du Youquan drove the car to leave after speaking. He is not ignorant. Today, he asked his eldest brother and sister-in-law to take the children for a stroll. Hu hurriedly said: "Fifth brother, we are all a family. Guarding here alone? Let's find a familiar place, put the car there, and go shopping with us."

"That's right, Uncle Fifth, I can't carry the thing anymore, so help me carry it." Du Erlang said.

"Hey, you kid, it's not ambiguous at all to order your uncle." Everyone who said that laughed.

In this way, everyone went to the market together and bought five catties of peanuts, five catties of melon seeds, and several catties of sesame candy. Du Youzhong wanted to buy it for Du Yu when he met a seller of flowers. Du Yu hurriedly said, "Father, I don't want it. The ones I bought last time were all new."

The last time I bought that, I bought another one through my uncle's hands. Grandma must be angry, so I might as well buy more other things.

Hu said: "Yu'er doesn't want it, so don't buy it, and talk about it later when you grow up. You two boys, don't want anything."

Both Du Dalang and Du Erlang shook their heads, and Du Dalang said, "Father, buy some good paper for grandpa."

This good paper is also quite expensive, and you don't usually buy it, but Mr. Du likes to write. It's a big Chinese New Year. Du Youzhong thought about it, so he bought a good piece of white paper, and then bought it for both the Qi family and the Hu family. I bought some jewelry, which are not very valuable, but at least it is a thought.

Du Youzhong gave Du Youquan [-] Wen, "Fifth, what do you want to buy, buy it yourself."

"Brother, I don't want it." Du Youquan resolutely didn't want it.But Du Youzhong insisted on giving it to him, and a few kids hurried to Wushu's side, pestering Wushu to buy them delicious food, which gave Du Youquan a sense of accomplishment. I don't want to postpone it anymore. I feel that it is my duty to buy things for my nephews.

Du Youzhong knew quite a few people, and he also greeted many people along the way.

Du Yu looked at the market this time, and there are definitely not as many things as modern ones. This is the dish. The most common ones are Chinese cabbage. There are not many green vegetables, and the villagers don’t buy vegetables. Most of them come from this town. People, I don’t have a vegetable garden at home, so I bought it.

A penny can buy several catties of Chinese cabbage, which is really worthless.
