Going to the market (3)

After half an hour of bumpy driving, the bullock cart finally arrived at the market place. Suddenly, the people on the cart got out of the car and dispersed. Lu Xiaoxiao looked at Aunt Caihua and asked, "Aunt, did you bring anything with you today?" Do you want something to exchange for?"

Aunt Caihua took an empty basket from the ox cart and put it on her shoulder and replied: "I didn't bring anything here today. I just used money to exchange for some things with others. Do you have anything you want to exchange for?"

"I don't know what I want to change yet. I just haven't seen the market and want to come over and have a look. If I see something I want, I will change it later."

"Well, that's fine, but there are too many people and you have to follow me closely." After saying this, she walked towards the market with Lu Xiaoxiao.

Lu Xiaoxiao came to the market and saw a variety of things on the ground. There really was everything. She followed Aunt Caihua and looked at it while walking.

Not long after Lu Xiaoxiao walked, she saw Aunt Caihua stop at a place where homespun cloth was displayed. Then Aunt Caihua exchanged six yuan for a piece of cloth and asked her if she wanted it. After she said no, Aunt Caihua took her with her. Keep going.

Lu Xiaoxiao shopped for a while, although there were many things, but there was nothing she wanted to change. Aunt Caihua did change several things. Judging from her posture, she was going to go on a shopping spree today. As expected, she is a woman, no matter what the environment is. Buying, buying, buying is inevitable all the time.

Lu Xiaoxiao continued walking and looking. Suddenly, there was an old woman not far away. There were many insoles and shoes in front of her, all with beautiful patterns embroidered on them. She pulled Aunt Caihua's sleeve with her hand, indicating that she wanted to go there. have a look.

Lu Xiaoxiao walked to the stall, squatted down and took out a pair of insoles embroidered with rose patterns and asked, "Grandma, did you make these insoles yourself? The embroidery on them is really beautiful."

When Mrs. Chen heard Lu Xiaoxiao compliment her on how beautiful her things were, she immediately said with a smile: "I made these insoles, but the patterns on them were embroidered by my grandson's wife. I can't do such delicate work."

After hearing what Mrs. Chen said, Lu Xiaoxiao ordered a pair of cloth shoes with black soles embroidered with plum blossoms and blue soles embroidered with lotus. She also ordered two pairs of insoles embroidered with roses and peonies. The shoes cost 6 yuan a pair and the insoles 50 cents a pair. A total of ten dollars was spent. Four pieces.

When Mother-in-law Chen saw that Lu Xiaoxiao wanted so many things, she gave Lu Xiaoxiao a pair of insoles embroidered with plum blossoms.

When Aunt Caihua saw Lu Xiaoxiao buying so many shoes and insoles, she immediately said, "Why are you so old buying such expensive shoes? If you don't know how to make shoe insoles, let me help you. Why waste all that money?"

After hearing Aunt Caihua's words, Lu Xiaoxiao knew that she was thinking about her. To be honest, she really felt that the insoles of these shoes were not expensive. The patterns embroidered on them were very delicate and spiritual, unlike those made by machines in later generations, although they were also exquisite. But the sameness always feels like something is missing.

Along the way, Lu Xiaoxiao continued shopping while listening to Aunt Caihua talking about trivial things. She saw frozen pears at a stall in front of her and asked, "Auntie, do you have frozen pears at home?"

"There is no such thing. Fruit is a rare commodity nowadays. Some have eaten it separately. How can anyone use it to make these tricks?"

After Lu Xiaoxiao heard Aunt Caihua's words, she stretched out her hand to pull her, then pointed to the frozen pear stall and told her that she wanted to go there to exchange for frozen pears.

I have to say that fruits are really expensive nowadays. A frozen pear costs 30 cents. You must know that a pound of meat now only costs 80 cents. She changed two and planned to taste the taste. If they tasted good, she would take the pears out of the space and bury them. Make frozen pears in the snow.

After Lu Xiaoxiao walked around the entire street in the market, she changed the insoles of her shoes and frozen pears. She didn't change anything else. Aunt Caihua changed a basket of miscellaneous things and held a piece of cloth in her hand. , I guess she is doing some New Year shopping.

Lu Xiaoxiao guessed that what Aunt Caihua was thinking was that she finally encountered a ticket-free show. Wouldn't it be stupid to change it all the time? Such an opportunity might not come again in the future.
