Happy Farmer's Life

Today was the last market before the year, and the doll jumped up and down excitedly early in the morning, saying that she would go to the market with Zhang Erbao.Zhang Erbao is the son of the carpenter Zhang, one year older than the baby, and recently played with the baby.After breakfast, we set off. The ox carts were full, and almost every household in the village went to the market.

There are five members of Du Weiming's family in their own ox cart, as well as Zhang Carpenter's daughter-in-law and Er Bao. Zhang Carpenter is still working at home today, so he didn't come.There are also two friends from Lianda at the entrance of the village.There are two children, chattering and buzzing.Everyone is also discussing what to buy later.Du Weiming has made up his mind, his new clothes are already ready, bacon is enough, and he is buying some mutton, pork, and two fish. There is no hope for fish in the river this year. Can not miss the fish.There are also seasonings, pastries, snacks and so on. You have to buy some.

When we arrived in Pingfu Town, everyone made an appointment for the time and place to gather in the afternoon, and then we separated.Today, the streets of Pingfu Town are obviously much more lively than before. Everyone’s faces are full of joy, and everyone is carrying things in their hands. They are either shopping or on the way to buy things.Du Weiming first went to the store of the shopkeeper Fang, he bought a lot of body oil, and sold another 20 bottles, and soap for 12 yuan. In total, I got the consistent money and 24 coins.Wang Wu carried the things, and everyone set off to look at other things.

On the way, the doll fell in love with a wooden spinning top, which cost 50 cash. Du Weiming bought it as a New Year's gift for the doll.The doll was very happy.There are also a lot of snacks on the street, and Du Weiming's lunch is also settled.After lunch, I went to buy the vegetables needed for the New Year, five catties of mutton, three catties of pork, and two knuckles, five catties of pig's trotters, four catties of pork ribs, and five catties of pork bones. The pig didn't even ask for money, so it was directly given to Du Weiming.The braised large intestine made by Du Weiming last time was very popular. I wanted to buy some more, and it would be better to give it away directly.Wang Wu took these things directly to the place where the ox carts were kept, and Du Weiming and the others continued to stroll.

Not only many villagers came out to buy things, but also many people sold things.Many villagers also sell their vegetables, chickens and ducks.Naturally, what the villagers sell is much cheaper than in the store. Du Weiming bought two more ducks, as well as vegetables such as soybeans, peanuts, and red beans. go.I went to buy another herring, two crucian carp, and two bream.Lian Da went to put things first.Du Weiming also spent a lot of money in his pocket.Almost everything in the market was bought, so Du Weiming was going to go to the store to buy some pastries.Of course, I have to buy some red paper.Cakes are of course more expensive, Du Weiming bought a few pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Jing Yuan likes to eat this.I also bought some mung beans, red beans and so on.Of course, red paper is much more expensive than food, and two large sheets of red paper cost Du Weiming 80 essays.

Seeing the seller of candied haws, Du Weiming bought a few more candied haws. The doll ate them directly, and gave them to Erbao and other children later.Du Weiming looked at the things that he bought a lot today, and he seemed to have missed something. That's right, he didn't buy any spices.But I remembered that I wanted to buy some star anise and cinnamon, and I went to the store of the shopkeeper again.

"Li Er, why are you back again, what else have you bought?"

"I forgot to buy the spices."

"Okay, then you can see for yourself, you can ask the buddy or me if you want anything."

Du Weiming didn't see spices such as star anise and cinnamon that he was familiar with. He saw a thing that looked like peppercorns, but it was several circles larger than the peppercorns he had seen before.

"what is this?"

"Pepper"

There is also coriander like coriander. Du Weiming found that the spices here are also very rich, but the names are different from the original ones.Finally, at the clerk's meeting, I bought cinnamon, fennel, licorice, coriander, red pepper, cinnamon, cloves, etc., a total of more than ten spices, each weighing three dollars.I even saw someone selling honeysuckle, and they also weighed three qian. The honeysuckle is very light, and there is a whole bag of three qian.Seeing that the time was almost up, Du Weiming went to meet Wang Wu.

When we went back, it was obviously crowded. The car was already full, and everyone bought a lot of things. Some villagers put things on the cart and walked by themselves.Even Dahe and Zhou Wen didn't take the car, they just followed the bullock cart.Du Weiming was originally worried that he bought too many things, but everyone also bought a lot, and Lian Da also hid some meat in clay pots, but it didn't stand out.I ran into many villagers on the road, Aunt Zhang and the others were also sitting in his family's bullock cart, and we all walked together.The villagers bought a lot of things, and everyone was very happy to ask you what you bought, how much it cost, and so on.

The weather is beautiful, it rained a couple of days ago, but the sun is shining brightly today when going to the market, and this has become a topic of discussion.In fact, Du Weiming has always been a little confused about what the villagers are talking about, and usually echoes a few words, so in the eyes of the villagers, this Li Er seems to be a little mysterious when he grows up, but he is still a good person.Most of the villagers are good, but the village is so big, and the only topic of conversation is these parents. After listening to it for a long time, they are actually not bad, as long as the topic is not about themselves.

After Du Weiming distributed the candied haws to Erbao and a few other children in the village, the children were well received, and the parents were of course happy too.As we talked, the topic came to Du Weiming somehow.

"Li Er, you will be thirteen after the Chinese New Year. Would you like to introduce a girl to you? Although you are not very old, it would be good to settle down early?"

Du Weiming's face froze, no way, he introduced the girl at a young age.

"Thank you, auntie. I'm still young. I'll wait two years."

"Li Er, listen to my aunt, it's better to make an appointment early..."

Aunt Zhang seemed to see Du Weiming's difficulties, so she changed the topic to talk about other things.Du Weiming cast a grateful look at Aunt Zhang.It's okay, it's okay, otherwise I will be in trouble again today.The later period was a bit torturous for Du Weiming, so he found an excuse, and Du Weiming jumped out of the car to find Lian Da and the others. Those aunts are too powerful.

Fortunately, it was not far from the village, and it took less than half an hour to reach the entrance of the village.Lian Da and Zhou Wen helped send back the belongings of each family before returning to their own home.It was quite tiring after walking for a day, Zhou Wen went to cook, Wang Wu unloaded the things, and went to put Niu An in order.The doll was already tired and fell asleep, and was carried back to the room to sleep.Wait until you eat and call again.

Put the meat outside and wait until tomorrow to deal with it.The fish is killed and hung up, and then cooked again when it is time to eat.The purchased spices are placed in a small wooden box, and they cannot be used if they get wet.After putting the things back one by one, Du Weiming also sat on the stool to rest.Needless to say, this shopping is really tiring.

It was night when Liu Jingyuan arrived at the village. He originally wanted to go earlier, but he had no choice but to arrive at this time after driving for 3 days.Ye took the horse away, and when he knocked on the door, it was Wang Wulai who opened it.

"My lord, would you like to wash up first?"

"Well, give me some hot water."

"Would you like something to eat?"

Hurrying all the way, these three days were all dry food, and I just ate two pancakes for dinner and came here directly, I was really hungry.

"Okay, you can do whatever you want without too much trouble."

Liu Jingyuan was afraid that it would be bad if the sound would wake Weiming up.Wang Wu called Zhou Wen up. He was not good at cooking. Liu Jingyuan went directly into the room to see Weiming. This time he came out with great difficulty. Originally, Brother Huang refused to let him go.I guess I don't know when I'll be able to come after I'm optimistic about it this time. I really want to kill all those Samos.

Du Weiming was sleeping soundly at this time, and the doll was also sleeping soundly beside him.In fact, Du Weiming made a small bed for the doll, but I don't know why the doll likes to sleep with Du Weiming. Fortunately, the bed is big enough, so Du Weiming just let him.Du Weiming was very tired from shopping all day today, so he slept soundly at this time, Liu Jingyuan sat beside him and watched his sleeping face for a long time.He didn't go out until Friday when he was ready to eat and came in to ask him.

So late, I won't do anything complicated. Two egg pancakes and a bowl of sweet potato soup, Liu Jingyuan ate deliciously.No way, I haven't eaten hot food for three days.Zhou Wen carefully moved the doll to the small bed, found another bed with the quilt, put the clothes Liu Jingyuan brought back for him, and left to rest.Liu Jingyuan lay on the bed, looked at Du Weiming by the oil lamp, and gradually fell asleep.He didn't have a good rest for three days, and he was really tired.
