Song Xiaoyue was surprised at first, but after hearing Wenxiu say that she wanted to go to the town to take a look at the market price and sell the red dates as subsidy, she showed an expression of realization.
She smiled and said, "It's not easy to go to town, so Yan Qing'er will have to go with Big Brother to help build a wall. If you go, you can go with the two of them and take care of them along the way." "But, if I come back …" After a pause, she continued, "How about this, how about I go with you?"
"This isn't good, you have so many things to do every day …"
Wenxiu felt that she owed Song Xiaoyue too much. As the saying went, a debt of gratitude is the most difficult to repay. Song Xiaoyue had clearly specially accompanied her to the town.
Song Xiaoyue didn't seem to care at all as she leaned closer to Wenxiu and said in a low voice, "My mother came to see me last month. Before she left, she forced me to pay for some clothes. "Well, if you're going to town, we'll go together."
Wenxiu also did not know if it was true or not. She felt slightly helpless and could only nod her head in the end.
The two chatted for a while before Song Xiaoyue left. Before she left, she made an appointment to meet up with them tomorrow.
The next morning, Wenxiu got up and cooked some potatoes for the two children. She didn't know if she could hurry back to make lunch, so she buried a few more potatoes in the stove. He then warned the tree a thousand times that he could not go to the stove or take the Tong Tong out before noon.
Although the tree agreed, she was still a little worried that the child would turn over the fire in the stove and light the house. In the end, she was forced to carry a handful of red dates to the Fang family and asked her to help keep an eye on the two children.
Lady Fang happily received the red dates and agreed.
Wenxiu turned around and left. Sixth Aunt returned from picking vegetables in the fields. When she saw Wenxiu's back, she called out to Lady Fang and asked, "Wenxiu, what are you doing this early in the morning?"
Lady Fang glanced at Aunt Liu and said in an indifferent tone, "I think they're going to the market."
"The market?" Sixth Aunt was elated and teased, "There's not a single poor person in your family who's ever gone to the fair. You poor wretch! You little slut! "Humph!"
Although the Fang family was narrow-minded and loved to take advantage, they had long since heard of what Sixth Aunt was scheming. Sixth Aunt continued to mock Wenxiu like this, but she couldn't stand it any longer. She directly retorted, "Who cares what she's doing at the market. She can't possibly sell herself."
"You …"
Aunt Liu was angered by the Fang family and left angrily with her vegetable basket.
Lady Fang looked at her back and rolled her eyes. She then happily carried the red dates into the house.
Wenxiu was poor and poor. She had only come to the market to ask about some things. She had nothing in her hands. When she reached the village entrance, Wang Yanqing, Wang Haiping, and Wang Haiping were already there, waiting for her.
"Sorry for making you all wait. I went to visit Sister-in-law Fang's family."
"It's fine, it's fine. Let's go faster. We won't delay any longer!"
The one who answered was Song Xiaoyue, but Wang Yanqing and her brother both smiled, indicating that she was fine. After the four of them met, they stepped on the morning sun and rushed out of the village.
Peace Town was six or seven miles away from the village. Even for those who walked fast, it would still take them two hours to get there. If one walked slowly, like Wen Xiu, it would take at least half an hour.
Wenxiu had received quite a bit of training in her previous life, so it would not be difficult for her to travel a long distance. However, the original body was too weak and weak. Even with the support of his strong mind, he could only walk and stop.
Wang Haiping and Wang Yanqing had gone to work, and they couldn't bear her delay any longer. In the end, the two brothers had no choice but to abandon Wenxiu and Song Xiaoyue and rush back to town in a hurry. If he delayed working, he wouldn't have to do today's work.
"Xiu Niang, it's fine. I'm also tired. Our legs aren't as long as theirs. It's normal for us to walk slowly." "Don't be in such a hurry, we aren't in a hurry anyway. As long as it's a bit slower, it's fine."
Wenxiu knew that Song Xiaoyue was comforting her and nodded with a smile.
The two of them sat under a tree by the side of the road to rest, watching as many people rushed past. Some carried baskets on their backs, some were carrying burdens, and there were even ox-carts.
Wenxiu watched as the ox-cart moved further and further away with envy. She kept both of her hands tightly in her pockets. She swore that when she had enough money, she would buy the ox-cart. No, a BMW should at least buy a carriage.
"Alright, let's go!"
Seeing Wen Xiu stand up, Song Xiaoyue also stood up. The two of them started their journey once again.
For the rest of the journey, Wenxiu did not rest. The two of them made it to town in one go. At this time, the sun had already risen from the east and the town was already bustling with noise and excitement.
Today was the day of the fair. The villagers in the villages near Peace Town who wanted to buy and sell would all come for the fair. When they reached the city gate, the quiet atmosphere suddenly became noisy.
The economy of Peace Town was mediocre in the county cities under the jurisdiction of Yongan city, and the items sold here were not as good as those in upper-middle towns. Compared to Yongan city, the prices of the goods sold here were two grades lower.
Peace Town was small, so it was relatively quiet before the market time. However, when it was time for the market to start, it became lively and the streets were filled with people. The hawkers on the street, the farmers leading the animals, the merchants who were passing by the town and the people who were rushing to the market, all made people dazzled.
As Wenxiu looked at the bustling street, the worry in her heart lessened bit by bit.
"Xiu Niang, the market is in the east while the cloth farm is in the north. Should we go to the market first or to the cloth farm?" Song Xiaoyue was afraid that Wenxiu would be lost, so she held her hand and didn't let go after entering the town.
Wenxiu was thinking about her child and didn't want to waste too much time. She cleverly removed Song Xiaoyue's hand and replied, "You go to the cloth shop to buy cloth, I'll go to the market to ask for the price. We'll meet here in two hours, okay?"
"Eh …" Song Xiaoyue felt a little awkward.
In order to not worry her, Wenxiu pulled her hand and said, "Don't worry, I know the way." Furthermore, when I was at home before, I also came to the market and knew the way! "
"So it's like that!" When Song Xiaoyue heard that she knew the way, the worry in her heart was immediately put down. She said with a smile, "Alright, let's split up and meet here in two hours."
After the two of them agreed on a time to meet, they went their separate ways.
Actually, Wenxiu did not know whether her original body had come to the market or not. In any case, she did not have any impression of it in her mind. But a person has two mouths, can you ask, can you throw yourself away?
She raised her head and looked to the east. There were more people walking on the streets than on the north side. Her heart was filled with expectation, so she could not help but lighten her footsteps as she walked towards the market.
