The northeast corner of the Dayangshu New Year Market is one of the three entrances to the market. Every time you go to the market, it is bustling with people coming and going. The stalls here are also among the best in the market.
Today, this place is occupied by a military green shed truck. In front of it is a ten-meter-long wooden shelf covered with coarse cloth and oil paper. The ones selling fabrics and selling seafood are divided into two areas, and there are two areas next to each area. There were three or four people receiving people who came to buy things.
These men and women are all in their thirties and forties, with red lips and white teeth, and simple clothes. They are not impatient when faced with the young ladies, young wives or old ladies who keep asking for bargains. They always have a smile on their faces.
When Yun Shu came, he saw the "aunt" whom he had met once before. She was taking the eggs from an old lady's basket, carefully putting the eggs into the things they had brought, and then put them The basket was returned to the old woman.
The old lady carefully folded the three-foot floral cloth in her hand, held the basket of eggs, and showed a very happy smile, "Girl, thank you so much. My granddaughter has been admitted to high school, and she doesn't even have any decent clothes. , her parents were partial, and all the money at home was saved for her eldest brother to get a wife.
After you came last time, I secretly saved eggs, looking forward to your coming! "
Zhao Xue has seen many grandmothers who are partial to their sons and grandchildren. It is rare to see grandmothers who love their granddaughters, especially in this mountain village.
She is also a woman, and until the suffering of women, the old woman in front of her looks to be seventy years old, and she still has a pair of small feet. Even if she is from Dayangshu Village, if she wants to come to this threshing floor, I am afraid she will have to walk a mile. The road is really not easy.
"Auntie, these are all government-owned things. I can't make the final decision on anything else. I'll leave this to you and make two flowers for my niece. Now that you're a big girl, you have to dress up properly."
Zhao Xue quickly stuffed a long piece of cloth into the old lady's basket. There was a lot of people, and no one paid attention to this small detail, except Yun Shu and the others who got in from the crowd.
Yun Shu could see at a glance that the piece of cloth looked like a long strip. The width was at most one foot, but the length was only one and a half meters. If it was pieced together skillfully, it could make two small vests.
Apparently the old lady also discovered this. She held Zhao Xue's hand and didn't know what to say.
Zhao Xue smiled and said: "Auntie, go home quickly and make your niece happy."
The old lady lowered her head and wiped her eyes, "Daughter, thank you!"
After the old lady struggled to squeeze out of the crowd, Sun Lingcai said: "I know this old lady. She is from this village. She is across the street from my grandma's house. She has a son at home.
I heard from my grandma that she gave birth to three daughters before her, but all of them were drowned by her mother-in-law. After her mother-in-law gave birth to a son, her mother-in-law took him away and refused to let her see her. It was not until her mother-in-law died that her life became easier.
Her daughter-in-law gave birth to a son and four girls. The youngest was named Honghong, the one who was admitted to high school. I heard that when she was born and it turned out to be a girl, her father wanted to throw him away, but the old lady snatched him away. Come here and feed the corn mush to the grown ones. "
Listening to these words, a word suddenly popped into Yun Shu's mind, "someone else's grandma."
Obviously Da Zhuang also thought of this. He looked at his sister and Yun Shu patted his brother on the head, "People are different, just like other people's sisters are not as good as your sister and me!"
"Puch!"
Yun Shu subconsciously grabbed a piece of cloth to block it, then looked at the cloth in his hand that was full of water and saliva with a black face, and then looked at "Auntie" who was choking on the water and coughing repeatedly, and said a little helplessly: "Auntie, Are you OK?"
Zhao Xue had actually noticed these children for a long time. First, they all looked good, especially the little boy who was the leader. Although his hair style was very unique, he was not ugly and even very elegant.
Moreover, this child's profile is so delicate. If it weren't for her clothes, no one would believe her if she said she was a girl.
Secondly, the people around here are all older girls or women, so children won’t squeeze in to watch the fun.
When Yun Shu was talking, Zhao Xue was drinking water from a thermal quilt. Most of the day had passed, and his mouth was still busy, and his throat was about to smoke.
Who would have thought that as soon as he took a sip of water, before he could swallow it, he heard Yun Shu say, this "boy" is just a girl, and he spoke so funny, which made Zhao Xue choke on the water.
When Zhao Xue finally took a breath, she looked at the innocent-looking child and the three or four feet of cotton cloth that had been affected, and said in a dumbfounded voice: "Look over there, that's where you guys are watching the excitement. This is He’s a cloth seller.”
Zhao Xue was pointing to a stall selling seafood not far away. A group of boys were surrounding it, pointing at this and that, and the sounds of surprise kept coming.
Wang Tangsheng was quite dissatisfied with this "aunt" who almost spit on Yun Shu's face, "It's just some crabs and shrimps, you think we are those mountains... wu wu wu..."
Yun Shu covered Wang Tangsheng's mouth with her backhand, not wanting her pig teammate to hold her back, and then smiled at Zhao Xue, "Auntie, don't you recognize me?"
Zhao Xue looked at Yun Shu in confusion. No matter how hard she thought, she couldn't remember seeing such a unique child.
Yun Shu patted his backpack, "Noodles!"
Zhao Xue said "Ah" and pointed at Yun Shu, "You, you, you...that little black girl?"
Zhao Xue was not only deeply impressed by the twenty kilograms of noodles, but also the original owner of the twenty kilograms of noodles, Hei Yatou.
It's not like Zhao Xue and the others didn't know about the area around Baili when they came here. The city was too conspicuous so they wouldn't go there, but they couldn't go to a place that was too poor either.
It just so happened that someone in the labor union had a relative who was the production team leader of Dayangshu Village. He said that it was a ravine over there, not attracting attention, and there were a lot of wild products and game. When everyone put it together, they all felt that this place was good.
Don't tell me, don't look at the farmers who don't have much money, but they rely on the mountains to live on. Who hasn't saved some mushrooms, fungus, etc., and even some eggs.
But it's really rare to be able to exchange twenty kilograms of fine grain for those cloths and silk.
Zhao Xue and the others went out on a trip and brought a lot of fabrics with them. Naturally, they couldn't just go to one place, but that was the only place where the black girl was so happy.
Everyone pooled some money together based on the employee's internal price, pretending that the fabric the black girl exchanged was bought by them, and then divided the twenty kilograms of snow-white noodles between four kilograms each.
Taking it home and cooking a handful occasionally for the elderly and children would be a big deal.
Moreover, Zhao Xue will talk about this matter with her son when nothing happens, "She looks younger than you, and she is still a little girl from the mountains. Look at her psychological quality and demeanor, and she is looking at you!"
It’s just that Zhao Xue’s son is disgusted with any little girl with dark spots, and then he successfully grows into a good-looking dog!
Of course, this is something.
Just saying that when Yun Shu reminded her, Zhao Xue couldn't believe it. In just a short time, the black girl turned into a beautiful "young man". Did she take the elixir?
But except for the person involved and a few colleagues at the time, no one else knew about the "dried noodles"!
As for Yun Shu, when the aunt in front of her called her a "black girl," the friends behind her couldn't help laughing and raised their eyebrows. Sometimes you regret it.
