The whole exterior wall of the new house has been built up, forming a large circle. Unlike the fenced courtyard of ordinary farmhouses, this kind of layout has the feeling of a town mansion.
When it gets dark, Zhang Man'er shouts to stop these men and go home for dinner.
After dinner, a group of men gathered around Xue Chuan to discuss tomorrow's task.
According to their description, the project will be completed in the middle of this month at such a schedule, which is nearly a month.
It's half done, and it will take another half a month.
In the construction of the new house in full swing, three days after the opening of the small shop, the annual Qiqiao Festival, also known as Qixi Valentine's day, was ushered in. As night falls, red lanterns light up at the door of the little Xueji shop. Even in the shop, there are many small lanterns. The bright candlelight, swaying with the wind, shines on the people who are playing with the abacus on the counter, which is beautiful and moving.
This busy day, we are a little tired, Xue Yu is moving tables and chairs, busy sweeping shop.
Zhang Man'er is dialing the abacus, calculated today's bill.
She checked the copper in the drawer and sold it for more than three Liang silver today. It's very good.
The money sold these days is almost the same. If it is stable for a long time, one month's income is really considerable.
In the future, new food will gradually increase, and the amount of money will certainly increase.
The grand plan of the future has been opened. She has painted colors, and she is slowly raising her pen to add color. She vows to use the golden finger of modern people to create a piece of heaven in ancient times.
When Zhang Man'er closed the bill, he saw Xue Chuan in his training suit. It was not too early or too late, so he appeared at the right time.
"Daughter in law, it's the Qiqiao Festival. There will be lanterns in the town. How about closing the shop and taking you to the town? And tonight by the lake, someone will put the lotus lamp. If you put it with the people you love, it's said that you can spend your whole life together. "
Xue Chuan's serious remarks made Zhang Man'er laugh.
These are all tricks to cheat the little girl. How could Xue Chuan believe this? It's really beyond her expectation.
The former Xue Chuan was not only unconvinced, but also sniffed at these patterns.
But Zhang Man'er became more and more excellent, and he was always uneasy. Through these, he added a lock to his heart and tried to comfort himself.
Zhang Man'er winked at him with a playful smile: "if my husband wants to accompany me, just tell me straight away, don't beat around the bush."
During this period of time, the two husband and wife are busy and have little leisure time. It's rare for them to go shopping and relax together when it's a festival. Naturally, they want to feel the lively atmosphere of the ancient Tanabata Festival.
"You, poor mouth, are seen through by you again." Xue Chuan ordered a little bit of her tiny Qiong nose, smiling and doting.
The customers who buy food are usually in the daytime, and the shop is closed in the evening. For example, it is closed later this evening, and there are no customers coming in.
All packed up, the husband and wife said to Xue Yu and locked the door.
It's rare to meet a busy Festival, so I won't go back in the evening. A group of four go to the street to experience the romantic Qiqiao Festival.
People are coming and going this evening. The streets are full of stalls, most of which are mainly for food.
A lot of dough makers and sugar vendors are surrounded by children of all sizes.
Along the way, beautiful lanterns have been hung at the door of every shop in order to meet the needs of the scene. All kinds of lanterns are shining in the night, embellishing this sentimental and rippling night.
This ancient Chinese Valentine's Day is different from the modern one. It is clearly a festival for people to celebrate. The streets are crowded with pedestrians, several times more than usual.
Xiaoshi is the happiest tonight. After school and doing well in the shop, he follows Xue Yu out to play.
It's hard to read in the school every day. It's rare to come out and hang out on the street during the festival. It's like a bird just released from its cage, cheering, jumping and jumping.
Looking at the interesting stalls, we have to go in and watch them for several times.
"Mother, third aunt, third uncle, look, there are many people around." Small stone all the way happily called, that pair of black eyes, see what are curious.
He took a mouthful of the sugar gourd that Zhang Man'er had just bought him, and felt the sweet and sour taste melt in his mouth.
Take a look at this stall and touch that one. How did you set up the children's stall today? He was dazzled by all kinds of delicious and funny food.
"Little stone, please slow down and don't push forward. If there are too many people, we can't find you if we get lost." Xue Yu looked at the little stone, which was like a monkey, jumping up and down. He couldn't help but nag.
"Mother, don't worry. I'm not a three-year-old. I won't get lost. I won't run around. I just want to go to the front to see the excitement." The little stone patted his chest like a little ghost.
Small body, flexible into the crowd, squeeze past, small stone standing in front of the crowd, just see the lively scene here.
The stalls here are performing juggling. There are big rocks and monkeys.
The wonderful performance made the passers-by clap their hands and applaud. While watching the crowd, they also threw some silver coins into the empty bowl on the ground.
Xiaoshitou also liked the performance. He threw a few coppers into the empty bowl.
According to the adults, these are poor children who come out to perform in the world.
Looking at those children who are not many years older than him, who are going to perform in the streets when they are young, Xiaoshi feels that the happiest day of his life is to go to school, go shopping, have enough food and clothing.
Xue Yu sees little stone's heart, so he lets Xue Chuan and his wife go to see the lantern.
She followed the child and watched him eat delicious food and play with him.
More and more people are crowding on the street. Xue Chuan is afraid that his daughter-in-law will be squeezed. He takes her by the hand and pulls her to his arms. Looking at all kinds of delicious food along the way, Zhang Man'er's eyes are bright, showing a pure and lovely smile like a child.
Looking at those good-looking dough pinchers, Zhang Man'er couldn't help looking more.
Those children around the stall, looking at the old man kneading dough, the skilled fingers knead on the flour, shaping a vivid image of the characters.
There are cowherd, Weaver Girl, magpie bridge, God of wealth, father-in-law of land and so on. As long as you want to get, there is no such thing as this old man will not pinch.
Xue Chuan said to the old man in the stall, "give me this pair of dough pinchers."
He refers to the Cowherd and weaver girl. Today is a festival. In order to meet the needs of the occasion, this pair is the most popular.
"Well, my guest, the couple are ten Wen in total." The old man laughingly took a new pair from the bottom of the booth. The one on the booth is the sample.
I know it's a festival. It's best to sell this pair of dough makers. There are a lot of them.
But judging from the current situation, it is not enough to sell.
