Crossing the Four Seasons Pastoral

It would take half an hour to walk to Tangqiao Town, even for a man of strong stature.Of course, Linxia Village has a large population, and every few days there is always a need to do some small business, or to buy some things that cannot be grown at home but must be used.So as long as it's not busy farming season, the people on the road are bustling with people on the market day.

However, people who go to the town are generally divided into several groups.Just after Yin time, those who were counting on business left.They set off with the vegetables they grew at home, or the small prey they dug from the traps on the mountain, and they arrived in the town just in time to catch up with the people who came out to buy vegetables.If you're lucky, maybe someone will take a fancy to your own things, saving you a lot of time looking at the stalls.

Ye Xiaoan naturally didn't rush this early.I slept in the small room for one night, although I couldn't smell the smell next to it, but the original land was really hard, and I finally felt that my waist was not my own.

On the other side, Ye Youping was nowhere to be seen. Ye Xiaoan came out and stretched himself, only to find that the other room that Ye Genbao's family used to occupy had also been vacated.There is an iron pot and a bucket of well water on the open-air stove that was built before.

The only ration they can use now is the small bag of white flour that their uncle brought. Ye Xiaoan worked consciously, mixed the white flour with sugar and water, and fried it into sweet cakes.He can't be said to have cooking skills, and he was only at the level of cooking instant noodles and scrambling eggs before, but he can watch and emulate the spreading of sweet cakes every time before the New Year, so he is quite proficient in doing it.

"Brother An!" As soon as he put out the fire, he heard Tian Dazhuang's shout from a distance, followed by a boy who was only about ten years old.

"Hey, Big Brother Tian." Seeing him pushing the boy beside him to this side, Ye Xiaoan couldn't help wondering.

"Didn't you say you were going to the market? Take Xiaofan there. There is nothing to do at home today. He has long wanted to go to the market." Tian Dazhuang rubbed his hands when he saw him coming.

The young man beside him looked disapproving, and Ye Xiaoan looked them back and forth, only to realize it after a while.He remembered that the boy called Xiaofan should be called Tian Xifan, Tian Dazhuang's cousin.Maybe this time it's not someone who wants to go to the market at all, but Tian Dazhuang wants him to go with him!

Tian Xifan was squeezed by his brother, and then he smiled and greeted him: "Brother An, can I go to the fair with you?"

He doesn't like Ye Xiaoan who is always timid when walking in the village, but he is very obedient to his cousin who has always protected him.After weighing the two, I decided to endure it, and it was just to accompany him for a morning.As for what my cousin said, An Ge'er has become a lot more cheerful now, he doesn't quite believe it.

"Of course, but I don't know the way to the town, and I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to show me the way." Ye Xiaoan really didn't have much impression of the things in the town, because the original owner of this body had no chance to go there.He doesn't intend to reject Tian Dazhuang's kindness either. To change other people's views on him, he must first let them see his own changes, and only by interacting with others can he truly integrate into the life here.

He remembered that Tian Xifan was a more assertive brother. Although he was young, he spoke and acted well, so he should be a good candidate.

"No problem." Tian Xifan naturally agreed, anyway, the purpose of his cousin asking him to come here was also the same.

"Then you chat for a while, I'll go first." Seeing that they were talking, Tian Dazhuang left quickly.His father is still waiting in the field!

"Xiaofan, have you had breakfast?" Ye Xiaoan didn't know where Ye Youping had gone, and suddenly found that they hadn't reached a consensus on what to do every day.But it was impossible to run out to find him at this time, so he had to talk to Tian Xifan.

"Eat early, if you don't hurry up, you won't be able to catch lunch when you come back." Seeing him picking up the cookies slowly, Tian Xifan couldn't help but urge him.

Ye Xiaoan had no choice but to gulp down the jujube, took out the money hidden in the house, and left.The remaining cookies in the pot are covered with a wooden spoon, so that the fourth brother can see them when he comes back.

At this time, many people walked towards the town like them, and because of the difference in the speed of their feet, they quickly opened up the distance again.They walked in the middle, and occasionally curious or probing eyes fell on them.

Although Ye Xiaoan has a memory, it is not as vivid as what he experienced personally. People who meet for the first time usually have to think a little before they can remember the relevant things, so they just vaguely called Uncle x or aunt along the way.Tian Xifan's position is obviously clearer than his, sometimes he leans up to call people affectionately, sometimes he only cocks his mouth and nods in greeting.

Fortunately, the journey to the market was far away, and everyone was in groups of threes and twos, each with their own companions, talking about their parents' problems, and not paying attention to them.

The market in the town was more lively than Ye Xiaoan imagined.Taking a rough look, you can see that there are all kinds of clothing and food items, and the shop mats on both sides can even see the smiling faces of the store to welcome customers.

Tian Xifan was a bit reserved with him at first, but later saw that he was very generous when he saw other people, unlike before, he just walked with his head down, and gradually talked to him.But as soon as he walked to the town, he was also attracted by the lively scene.

The two walked while watching, Tian Xifan seldom had such a chance to come out freely, unlike before being dragged away by his father, he could enjoy himself when he saw interesting things.Ye Xiaoan didn't stop him, he just paid attention to where the salt oil jars and bedding he wanted to buy were on sale, and planned to catch them all at the end.

When Tian Xifan raised his head satisfied, the two had already walked from the street to the end.Only then did he come to his senses, showing an embarrassed expression for the first time: "Uh, Brother Xiao An, what do you want to buy?"

Ye Xiaoan took the opportunity to get a general idea of ​​the main items sold here. Seeing him finish reading, he said, "There is nothing at home. Let's go over there to buy an oil lamp, pots, bowls, salt and other things, and then go to buy two quilts."

Tian Xifan also knew the situation he and Ye Youping were in, so he nodded and let him go.

Ye Xiaoan had just noticed that there was a shop selling sesame oil on the side of the street, thinking that sesame oil is a precious thing nowadays, so he decided to check the price first.

"What do you two want to order? The oil in our store is delicious, and the price is so affordable that you can't find another one in the town." Just stepped into the store, the middle-aged Momo who was lying on the side was enthusiastic welcome up.

His voice was high-pitched and trembling, and Ye Xiaoan trembled the goosebumps on his hands in fright.He first took a look at the various oil urns with red paper attached in the store, and was about to ask the price, when he suddenly felt that this person looked familiar?

Probably due to eating too well and being a bit old, this man is so bloated that layers of fat are piled up on his arms, and his eyes are sunk in the fat on his face, and he can't find them.Most people usually wear coarse cloth bunts that are convenient for work, but he is wearing a green gown with purple thread borders.But because of being fat and wrapped too tightly, the waist seemed to burst open at any moment.Coupled with the bulging fat on his lower abdomen, the whole person is like a bulging frog.

Tian Xifan almost couldn't help laughing, but Ye Xiaoan felt weird because of the sudden "familiarity".But since he entered the store, he planned to buy something, and said, "Give me a few bucks for the sesame oil here."

The sesame oil here is also squeezed from different things such as sesame seeds and soybeans. He couldn't tell the good from the bad, so he pointed to the urn with the cheapest price on it, thinking that he didn't have enough money.

"Okay, my little brother, would you like some? The sesame oil is delicious." The man did things quickly, picked up the copper oil and filled it for them.

"Brother, we're back! Today's business is really good, it's all sold out..." Two more people came in from outside, and one of them was still carrying an oil barrel.

Because of this burst of noise, both Tian Xifan and Ye Xiaoan looked over subconsciously.Coincidentally meeting the eyes of those two people, Ye Xiaoan was stunned.

He finally knew why he felt familiar.

"Oh, so you are not dead! Straight mother thief, made me unlucky and broke my money, and went to the streets to sell oil every day..." The other party obviously recognized him, and suddenly became furious, and slapped the knife on his shoulder. The burden was thrown away with a clang.

It turned out that he was the shopkeeper Li who wanted to marry by force at the beginning, but ended up getting nothing because of Ye Xiaoan jumping off the bullock cart.Both of them are about the same age and figure, so they look familiar at first glance.

Besides, at the beginning, shopkeeper Li wanted to spend money to buy a romance, but he didn't dare to bring it home after taking it, he just wanted to raise it quietly outside.Li Jinyuan swears to him that his younger brother has the best temperament, as long as he is frightened, it is impossible to cause trouble for him.Who would have thought that Ye Xiaoan's temper was aroused at the last moment, and he did something beyond their expectations.

Because something went wrong halfway, many people heard about it, and it didn't take long before it reached the ears of his original partner, brother Liu.Isn't Mrs. Liu a good friend? After repeated beatings, he not only found out the truth of the matter, but also dug out his small coffers.Immediately, he was so angry that he took back the power of money and wealth, and asked his younger brother to supervise his daily oil sales in the streets, and he was not allowed to enter the door until the sales were finished.

Shopkeeper Li suffered all these hardships, if Ye Xiaoan really died, it would be fine, and now he is naturally angry when he sees a living person.

Mrs. Liu is working hard, but the matter of her own man is still in her throat day by day, and now she still doesn't understand what she heard.Take a closer look at the two brothers in front of you, they are both about the same age, with fair complexions and handsome features.Although annoyed, they had to grit their teeth and admit that they were indeed better than themselves with their youthful appearance.

"Bah, it turned out to be you bitch! A good guy doesn't want to be a guy, but wants to rob other guys. Today I will teach you a lesson, and see if you dare to hook up again in the future!" He hated for a few days, Immediately throw the copper oil away, and come up with the broom next to him.

As a result, the husband and wife had the same goal, and they happened to attack Ye Xiaoan back and forth.
