Chapter 011: The Man Jiang Yan Likes
Jiang Yu learned that Aunt Fourth wanted to introduce Jiang Yan to her partner, but she had no objection. First of all, all three of them needed to be filial to three years. Naturally, there would be no action during these three years. Who would know what the situation would be like when the filial piety period came out.
The wheat all over the mountains and fields was finally finished with everyone's concerted efforts, but the wheat field in the village became congested. On the flat and tight wheat field, the wheat that had just been harvested was laid on it. A large stone wheel mill was pulled by an old ox in front of him, and it seemed to be tireless.
Nowadays, there is no threshing machine. The wheat is threshed manually. It is purely crushed by a stone mill. When will the mechanical harvest start to start? Jiang Yu is not sure. When he walks here, he really has a blind eye and doesn’t know anything.
She asked Jiang Yan how long it would take for the wheat harvest to last, and was told directly that it would take almost a month, and Jiang Yu almost collapsed.
This means that the wheat has not been put into storage yet, and then it will enter the busy planting season. When you are free, you will probably have to wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and then you won’t have to rest for long and the autumn harvest season will be entered again.
Under the commune system, you will not let your wife and children warm up at home in winter. You have to work to renovate the land and welcome the spring plowing next year.
Moreover, she was not used in this era. She didn't know whether there was a woman or not, but she knew that the commune often organized villagers to go to the fields to pull weeds, and she couldn't imagine the future.
Taking advantage of a cloudy day, Jiang Yan finally got free time and said she wanted to take them to the market.
Jiang Yu was excitedly looking forward to it. She has been here for almost ten days and stayed at home all day long. She is really bored. Now she can go out for a walk and look at the rural market, and worry about not having a good sleep all night.
Early the next morning, the three siblings went out with two cloth bags.
When I walked to the entrance of the village, I saw Jiang Xiuxiu greeting Jiang Yu there and jogging over.
"Are you going to the market?"
"You go too?" Jiang Yu asked.
"Go, my mother is going home to change her clothes. Come soon. Sister Jiang Yan will wait a moment, let's go together."
"Okay, I'm not in a hurry anyway."
After a while, Zhao Caihua came over and saw the three of them, and greeted them warmly.
"What are you going to buy in Dani? Is it exhausted after so many days of harvesting wheat?"
"I'm used to it, and I don't feel very tired..."
The two walked in front, and Jiang Yu led Jiang Chuan and Jiang Xiuxiu behind.
There are many people going to the market along the way. The closer the market is, the more congested it is. It is not much better than the Spring Festival travel rush. From the entrance of the market to the inside, there are dark and noisy everywhere.
Jiang Yu held Jiang Chuan's hand tightly so that the crowd would not be dispersed. He followed his elder sister and walked slowly into the stall on the side.
This market is located in Pingba Village. It looks very large in area and occupies two cross-sectional dirt roads. The dirt road is about seven or eight meters wide, with stalls on both sides. There are almost no roads in the middle that there is almost no place to take the foot.
The group did not stop outside, and followed the gaps in the crowd to the intersection in the middle of the market. It was only when they arrived here that they were more relaxed.
She first experienced this kind of rural market life. She looked around with her eyes dazzled. The variety of products in the market was limited, and many of them were sold with their own things, including chickens, ducks, eggs, hand-woven wicker baskets, homemade shoes, etc. Of course, this time is when the apricots are ripe. Jiangyan bought two kilograms of apricots, which were as cheap as possible, and many things were as low as a few cents.
"Erni, Xiaochuan, I'll give you popsicles." Zhao Caihua handed the siblings one popsicles, each of which cost five cents each, wrapped in a piece of paper, with two simple words "popsicles" written on it, and nothing else.
The brother and brother thanked him and continued to walk towards the other end.
Jiang Yu doesn't like sweets very much, but he once went to and from coffee and dessert shops with his colleagues and friends from time to time. He has eaten many desserts and tasted a variety of ice creams, including domestic and foreign ones.
Even if the popsicle in my hand is in it, it is only ordinary, but I still feel that the taste is wonderful.
She usually likes vegetarian snacks, but her busy work does not reserve time for fitness, but she only has just a few days since she came here, and she wants to eat meat. Now the world is really bland.
But it cannot be said that it is of no use. At least it can make people calm down. She doesn't have to work all day long and keep electronic equipment in hand. She doesn't remember how long it took for her to see the stars in the sky, the rising and falling sun, the flowers, plants, vegetation, and the various aspects of life.
"Is it delicious?" Jiang Yu looked at the little guy beside him and ate it very happily. A popsicle was quickly eaten up. She looked at what was in her hand and hesitated for a while before handing it to him, "Do you still want it?"
It’s not that I can’t bear to let it go, but that I think I’ll give it to others after I’ve eaten it, which is obviously impolite.
"...I don't want it!" Jiang Chuan looked at her silently, shook his head and refused.
"I just knew you disliked me!" Jiang Yu laughed.
"Why am I disliked you?" He hasn't eaten the leftover food of his two sisters before, he just doesn't want to eat alone.
"Don't dislike you to eat." Jiang Yu stuffed the popsicle into his hand, "I'll eat something better in the future."
Jiang Chuan pinched half of the popsicle in his hand, grinned at his second sister, and started eating happily.
As a child, he is inevitably greedy, even the sensible Jiang Chuan is no exception.
She wanted a refrigerator, but now she said that it was less than 600 yuan, which was about 700 yuan. This was equivalent to the income of their family for at least five years. Just forget it.
Usually, there are hawkers in the village who push bicycles to sell popsicles. The children can’t eat much in a year, so they can still afford it at home.
This time, Jiang Yan did not sell the eggs. He said last night that the eggs would be kept at home for food. This should be because Jiang Yu suddenly became sensible. At least he was a labor force. He would always have enough food and spare money when he worked more.
After walking around, Jiang Yan bought two packs of rapeseed, a pound of candied fruit, and some broken pieces. The group returned together.
Zhao Caiyun bought a lot of them. After all, their family has good conditions, so Jiang Guoguang sends money to his family almost every month. In addition, their family has a lot of labor. They raise chickens, ducks, pigs and other livestock at home, and their lives are counted in the village, so naturally they don’t care about this little money.
After entering the village, Jiang Xiuxiu wanted to follow Jiang Yu home, but Zhao Caiyun pulled her wrist away.
"You kid, it's almost noon. Da Ni and Er Ni have to go home to cook and eat. I want to play and go again in the afternoon."
Jiang Yu said goodbye to Xiuxiu with a smile, and it was also fun to watch the little girl being pulled home by her biological mother flying a kite.
The three siblings returned home slowly. Not far from the doorstep, they saw a young man leaning against their doorstep, with a bicycle parked next to them.
Jiang Yu was wondering who the other party was. Just as he was about to ask his elder sister, he saw Jiang Yan's cheeks dyed with redness and his eyes became shy.
She knew it in her heart and knew the other party’s identity without asking. He was undoubtedly He Xun!
