Chapter 211 Learning Yi language on the way to the market
This was how I went to work on my first day. This way of working made Mu Yi feel a little bit lost, and it subverted Mu Yi's inner imagination of the township government's work style. I had dinner at Chu Yanhong's place and watched them play cards for a while.
As soon as I felt a little tired, I said goodbye to everyone.
After walking out of Chu Yanhong's house and returning to his own house, it suddenly became much deserted. He was sitting alone on a wicker chair in a daze. At this moment, he began to feel homesick.
Slowly, the sky became dark and the air began to become a little cold. But it was still bearable. Suddenly, he felt a pain in his stomach. He quickly took some toilet paper and ran to the toilet...
Squatting in the squatting position, listening to the loud sound of running water behind the toilet, it felt like the cold wind was touching his buttocks. Muyi was still a little uncomfortable with such a convenient method. He just had unbearable stomach pain, so he had to squat for a while. Finally, he felt hearty.
After unloading the burden in his belly and cleaning up, Mu Yi quickly got up.
Perhaps he had squatted for too long, and his feet were numb, and he almost fell. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and held on to the wall. He stabilized himself for a while, and then limped back to the house after regaining his strength.
inside.
Fortunately no one saw it, otherwise it would be embarrassing again.
When I returned to the house, the light was even darker, and I could hardly see anything clearly. I pulled the switch, but the light still didn't turn on. Just when Mu Yi was feeling depressed about the light, he suddenly heard someone shouting in surprise:
"The call is coming! The call is coming!"
Sure enough, the light in Mu Yi's outer room also turned on. The light in the inner room did not turn on. Mu Yi quickly pulled the switch and the light came on.
Although the light is relatively dim, there is finally some lighting.
But as soon as the light was turned on, all kinds of mosquitoes came to the window. Mu Yi was so frightened that he quickly closed the door and window. He also turned off the light and went to bed to lie down.
He lay down and fell asleep.
Mu Yiyi woke up and it was already dawn. When he got up and opened the door, he followed everyone else's example and squatted at the door to wash up. After washing up, he came to Chu Yanhong's door.
Mu Yi: "Fifth sister, give me the bucket to pick up some water."
Chu Yanhong: "Wait a minute, I'll pour the remaining water into the basin, and I'll eat the noodles later so that I can wash the dishes. You bring the water back, and after we eat the noodles, we'll go to the market in Guoshen Township. You can also buy it.
Something."
Mu Yi: "Okay."
"Brother Ma, lend me your pole to carry water." Mu Yi borrowed the pole from Ma Buqi.
Ma Buqi: "Mu Yi, don't be so polite, just use it as you like."
Mu Yi took the pole and went to fetch water happily.
On the way, he saw people starting to come down the mountain sporadically.
After carrying water back and eating noodles, everyone set off together.
Along the way, everyone was talking and laughing.
It turns out that the market is held here every 10th. Except for February, you can go to the market three times in other months. Every market day, the people around will carry some eggs, duck eggs, hold a chicken, lead a dog, and carry a few babies.
Piglets, carry some potatoes, sauerkraut and other agricultural and sideline products to the market. If you are lucky, you will meet someone selling gastrodia elata and cordyceps.
Everyone goes to sell some things on market days in exchange for some money to buy some production and daily necessities. Of course, the main buyers of agricultural and sideline products are the township cadres, teachers and doctors from the health center who work in Zhongguozhuang. Because they are more from the countryside.
There are not many things that can be sold, and overall supply and demand are still balanced. Folks who come to the market mainly want to have fun and have fun.
On the road, Ma Buqi deliberately walked behind the team. Mu Yi was walking in front with Chu Yanhong and Mu Ping, and did not notice that Ma Buqi had fallen behind.
Suddenly Ma Buqi called out: "Mu Yi".
When Mu heard Ma Buqi calling him, he didn't know what happened to Ma Buqi, so he asked: "Brother Ma, what's the matter with you calling me?"
Ma Buqi: "Wait a moment, I have something to tell you."
Mu Yi also stopped and waited for Ma Buqi to come up to him.
Ma Buqi: "Muyi, can you speak Yi?"
Mu Yi: "No."
Ma Buqi: "Then why don't you buy some eggs, duck eggs or something to cook when you come to the market today?"
Mu Yi: "If you want to buy something, I have already planned to buy dozens of eggs and take them to Sister Chu and the others. You can't just eat their food."
Ma Buqi: "Then do you know how to say numbers in Yi? Do you know how to bargain?"
Mu Yi: "I know numbers one, two, and three hundred a little bit, but I don't know how to bargain."
Ma Buqi smiled secretly, and then said, "Then do you want to learn?"
Mu Yi: "Of course I want to learn. But where should I learn?"
Ma Buqi: "If you are willing to learn, I can teach you a few words."
When Mu heard Ma Buqi say that he was willing to teach him Yi, he immediately jumped up with joy. Indeed, if you don't learn some Yi in this place, how can you communicate with fellow villagers?
Mu Yi: "Thank you in advance. Brother Ma, please teach me quickly."
Ma Buqi touched his chin pretending to be mysterious. He looked around and saw no one else. Chu Yanhong and the others had also walked more than ten meters away. Then he said to Mu Yi: "I will teach you first."
Two sentences, one is whether to sell the eggs, and the second is whether to sell the duck eggs. When they say they are sold, I will teach you how to negotiate the price on the spot."
Mu Yi thought this was also true. If you teach now and learn now, you should soon be able to master the communication language for shopping. It is really great. Mu Yi even began to imagine that he could communicate more freely with fellow villagers, not only buying things
I had some stuff and could still chat for a few words. It felt so good that I couldn’t help it.
Ma Buqi: "Remember, those who sell eggs and duck eggs are usually women and girls. Old ladies are generally not easy to talk to, and they don't like to do business with Han people. You need to find those girls and ask them if they sell them.
It will be easier for you to do business and buy things."
Mu Yi listened carefully to Ma Buqi's "teaching experience".
Perhaps because he saw some fellow villagers following him, Ma Buqi walked forward with Mu Yi, keeping a relatively long distance from the people in front and behind him. Then he said to Mu Yi very seriously: "Listen up.
Ha. When asked if eggs are for sale, you just say "nest error". When asked if duck eggs are for sale, you say "du error". If she tells you "error", it means selling, and "ah error" means not selling.
.Remember?”
Mu Yi follows the tune of horse and horse, and talks about whether the eggs are sold, "nest is wrong", whether duck eggs are sold is "delay, wrong", selling is "oh," and not selling is "ah wrong."
When Ma Buqi heard Mu Yi learn to say these two sentences seriously, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. He was even happier than if he had picked up money.
Mu Yi didn't think that his poor pronunciation made Ma Buqi laugh at him. He quickly stopped talking and asked Ma Buqi: "Brother Ma, why are you laughing? Did I speak inappropriately?"
Ma Buqi: "No, no, what you said is very standard. I just can't help but want to laugh, nothing else. You continue to practice."
Just like this, Mu Yi kept repeating these two sentences, and soon they were magically engraved in his mind.
When they came to the river, where Secretary Lamu drove to pick up the wood, they saw that some fellow villagers crossed directly from the river, and some chose to walk a few dozen meters further and cross the "broken bridge"
of.
Mu Yi was about to ask Ma Buqi whether he should jump into the water to cross the river or cross the river on the bridge. He saw that Ma Buqi had already walked in the direction of the "broken bridge". He quickly followed Ma Buqi. After getting on the bridge, he quickly reached it.
At the narrowest point of the broken bridge, only one person could pass. Mu Yi held on to the remaining guardrail and glanced at the river flowing under the bridge. He felt that the bridge was too high and too dangerous, so he crossed it in fear.
