Taozhi handed them the booth fee, a few cents of coins, a few people are not used to it, and now they are counting the money.
"Okay." After confirming that it was indeed three yuan, someone led Taozhi in: "Come with me."
He found a place: "You will be here in the future, what is your name?"
Taozhi said, "My name is Xia Yan."
Naturally, I don't need a real name. I originally wanted to be called Xia Yan, but I felt that this name was not suitable for girls.
"The last name is Xia." He wrote a small Xia character on the booth: "Okay, we don't care what you sell, we don't care if you sell it or not, just sell your things well, don't stir up trouble."
After he finished speaking, he left, Taozhi looked at the venue, it was very big, and there was an endless stream of people.
She put the buckets down, and the area given to her was as long as a row, which was enough for her.
She spread the cloth and took out the delicate and beautiful bowls inside.
There are also people next to her, but they are all selling some strange things, some strange roots, some stones.
Of course, there are also people who sell clothes and normal supplies on the black market.
It's like a market that has already opened for trading, but the location is dark and a bit depressing.
As soon as the bowl of Taozhi was placed, someone came to ask, because her bowl is really too delicate and eye-catching compared to the current earthen bowl.
"How did you sell this?" A woman came over, squatted down, picked up a bowl and looked at it. The bowl was very clean, white and without any flaws, and at a glance, it was known that it was not produced in the province.
Everyone knows that there are many things in the black market of unknown origin, and they don't even ask where they came from, anyway, they can buy them if they have money.
Taozhi said in a buzzing voice, "One for Sanmao."
"Sanmao?! It's so expensive?!" She glanced at it, but she was reluctant to part with it. Now the earthen bowl for dinner is only eight or nine cents.
And no matter how good-looking this bowl looks, it’s just for eating. It’s so expensive, it’s not worth it…
Taozhi thought about it for a long time before deciding the price, because it is really not cheap.
After all, three cents is still a lot at this time.
The woman stood up and left, Taozhi watched her go, and she sat on the ground, waiting for the next customer.
Anyway, she can't cut the price any more. This bowl is beautiful and clean. It's definitely worth 30 cents. It's too cheap.
After all, her bowl was too white, and soon someone came to ask.
This time a man came, holding a bowl: "How much is it?"
Taozhi lowered her voice: "Sanmao."
"It's a bit expensive." He glanced at it, the bowl was very beautiful, with beautiful lotus flowers on it.
Taozhi's tone continued to pretend like an aunt: "It's not expensive anymore, I have this type of bowl in the whole province."
She is the only one in the world who has it, after all, this is a space refresh.
He glanced at her and saw her bright eyes: "Okay, give me five."
Taozhi didn't expect it to open, but an uncle bought five! !
She put the bowl away and wrapped it in newspaper: "Here you are."
He handed her bits and pieces of a dollar and fifty cents.
Taozhi took the money. Although it was opened, it was a huge sum of one and fifty cents, but she was very calm.
After all, he is someone who has seen the big world——
The man left with the bowl, he was going to give this to his friend.
Taozhi put the money into the space, and after a while, someone came to ask.
Maybe it's this white bowl that catches the eye in this not-so-bright place.
"Sanmao? Too expensive!"
Some of them left after asking, most of them were women, they were diligent and thrifty, and probably thought that they could eat with earthen bowls.
Most men come to ask and buy it if they feel good.
Throughout the ages, men have bought things of the same nature—
The man carried the sling on his back, put the sling on the ground, squatted down and picked up the bowl: "This bowl is very beautiful, do you have any more? Bring me ten identical ones."
"Yes!" Taozhi took ten bowls from the bucket and handed them to him. He stood up and glanced at the bowls in the bucket, and found that there were quite a few.
He took the bowl: "How much?"
Taozhi said: "Ten three dollars."
He took out thirty cents and handed them to her.
The peach branch took it, counted it and found that there was no problem. She smiled and said, "Thank you."
The woman next to her touched the big bowl for a long time: "How much is this big bowl?" The small bowl was San Mao, but it was the first time someone asked for the big bowl.
Taozhi squatted down: "Big bowl of four hairs."
She frowned, but fondly touched: "I'll buy one."
She took out a few cents from her pocket until she collected forty cents and handed it to her: "Here."
Taozhi felt that this woman had a story. She had been watching it here for a long time. Others bought it and left, and someone came again, but she kept squatting and touching the big bowl.
She took the bowl and left, Taozhi looked at her back and said nothing.
She felt that she could write a small sign and put it in front of her, a small bowl of three cents and a large bowl of four cents.
Pick another store name.
She thought about it, and she already had an idea in her heart.
Taozhi sells things until the afternoon, when the time is almost up, the stall is closed.
She has a lot of bowls, so when someone buys them, she keeps taking them from the bucket, and she never thinks about resting.
There is also a piece of cloth in her bucket, which she uses to cover the bucket halfway, so that others can see that she still has stock here, but they don't know how much.
It's getting late, I put my things away and plan to go back.
In fact, it is more lively at night, after all, this is the only place where you can do business.
But Xie Yan was coming to pick her up, so she had to go back quickly.
After Taozhi went out, she put everything in the space where no one was around, put away her head scarf and scarf, and hurriedly walked towards the Women's Federation.
As soon as I walked to the gate of the Women's Federation, the sun went down, and Xie Yan came on a bicycle.
Taozhi hurried over: "Xie Yan, you are here."
Xie Yan looked at her and then at the closed door of the Women's Federation: "Am I late?"
Why didn't people come out and go in like usual, but the door was locked today.
Taozhi shook his head: "Today ended early."
"Wow." Taozhi looked at the position behind him: "What is this?"
Xie Yan ignored this abnormality for the time being, and he was quite proud: "I went to the power company and I have become their external staff worker. I have to wait for their application before I can become a regular employee."
After all, in such a state organ, the employees in it are all arranged by the state.
Although he has the skills, he needs to apply.
"Wow, Brother Xie Xiaoyan is really amazing." Taozhi looked adored.
Xie Yan's mouth slightly raised: "This is the sponge I got from the company. I cut it and tied it, and dragged it a little longer to protect your thighs."
Taozhi glanced at it, and she sat on it, so comfortable! !
very soft! ! Just like a sofa.
She looked at him with a smile: "Brother Xie Yan is amazing! I'll reward you with three candies."
She took out three candies and stuffed them into his hands.
Xie Yan put the candy in his pocket, and he stepped on his feet: "Sit down, we're going."
Taozhi reached out and hugged his waist: "Today's sunset looks even better."
Xie Yan glanced at it: "Indeed."
Taozhi feels that this memory will definitely become their most beautiful memory in the future.
At sunset, Taozhi leaned behind him: "Xie Yan, can you sing?"
Xie Yan pedaled his bicycle: "No."
Taozhi tilted her head to look at him: "I don't believe it, you sing me a song."
Xie Yan thought for a while: "then shall I sing the national anthem for you?"
He only has this.
"Pfft haha." Taozhi sat in the soft back seat: "That's for the motherland, you sing one for your partner."
Xie Yan was a little embarrassed. When he sang, the two dogs ran away.
What to do if you scare the object away.
"I want to think about how to sing." Xie Yan thought about it, and kept thinking...
He didn't sing until he reached the deserted mountain road.
He cleared his throat: "At sunset, Xishan Hongxiafei, the soldiers hit targets to return to the camp, return to the camp..."
Taozhi: "??" Is this a love song? ?
But she didn't interrupt his song. This is a very popular song recently. Although it has been released for ten years, it is still very popular when it reaches them.
Almost many men can sing. Everyone has a yearning for the army. It is always said that a real man will protect his family and defend his country.
So many people are wearing army green clothes.
Taozhi couldn't help laughing, but Xie Yan's voice was nice, rich but with his own flavor.
It's not a love song, but he sings it well.
Taozhi sat in the back row and listened with a smile in her eyes.
When I finished singing, I also went to the entrance of the village, but I met many people at the entrance of the village.
Xie Yan passed by on a bike with magnanimity.
"Taozhi, wait a moment." Seeing them coming back, Chen Zhishu quickly stopped Taozhi.
Taozhi's kindness is gone, because many people are staring at her bicycle.
"Yo, Taozhi is back? A bicycle?"
Li Dongmei sneered: "Xie Yan grabbed it? But be careful not to be caught by the police."
Xie Yan glanced at her: "I won't be arrested, but you are ugly and scary. The police are afraid to arrest you."
Li Dongmei's face darkened: "You—"
"Shishu." Taozhi got off the bicycle: "What's wrong?"
Chen Zhishu looked at her with a smile: "We have a meeting today, and I know that your Women's Federation will collectively go to learn tractors tomorrow."
Taozhi nodded: "Yes."
Chen Zhishu smiled and said: "Mr. Su came today, he said that he will build this road along the way, our primary school will start construction tomorrow, and your house has already been built. Do you want to let the old master consider it for you? "
"No." Taozhi thought, she decided to live in her house at first, because only if you have a house, you can have a hukou.
It's that strict here.
Therefore, although the party secretary made an exception for her to get her a household registration, she must have a house.
"That's fine." Chen Zhishu looked at Xie Yan and said, "Comrade Xiao Xie, have you and Taozhi settled the date?"
He saw him go to Xiajiang Village before, so it should be to see the days.
He smiled and said: "Okay, on the sixth day of next month, you will come to help."
"That's for sure!" Chen Zhishu had an idea, that is, let Comrade Taozhi continue to do the work of the Women's Federation.
After all, it's hard to find a comrade who is so dedicated and has no complaints.
"Taozhi and Xie Yan are getting married, congratulations!"
"You two really match."
...
The other aunts who were onlookers smiled and said a few words.
Li Dongmei sneered: "Marriage? Oh, one can't give birth to a baby, the other won't be a wife, maybe both of them will die someday."
"Do you have a problem with your brain?" Taozhi hated others speaking ill of Xie Yan.
She said to Li Dongmei: "Your son's principal is not good enough, and your grandson is gone. Where does the confidence come from, and you keep talking about others here? Your brain is washed by bull farts, so you let others smell it from your mouth? ?! I don't think my mouth stinks!"
Li Dongmei was in a hurry: "You little hoof!"
Taozhi said: "You are the little hoof! You are an ugly and bad old hen!!"
Xie Yan was standing next to him. He would not participate in the quarrel between women. After all, he was a rogue and preferred to be yin.
Like breaking her son's leg or something...
Li Dongmei gritted her teeth: "You..."
"Okay, okay!!" Chen Zhishu hurriedly stopped Li Dongmei, he looked at Liu Guizhuang who was smoking next to him: "You tell your daughter-in-law to shut up, Comrade Taozhi is going to study tomorrow, if she is in a good mood, she can bring us back a A new tractor!"
"If the tractor is gone, you and your wife will buy it for us!"
The people in the village put their own interests first. Originally, they were still watching the two quarrel, but now they hear it, a new tractor! !
In the future, there will be no need to ride on that broken tractor, which is always rotten on the road, and they all have to walk to the city or walk back.
Rotten three times a day, they are all looking forward to a new tractor being sent to them.
"Li Dongmei, you are a very bad old lady! You just grabbed the peach branches and bullied her."
"Li Dongmei, your heart is really bad, you just want to cause our commune to lose a new car!"
"Li Dongmei, please shut up."
...
One by one accusing her, Li Dongmei wanted to say, but was slapped by Liu Guizhuang: "Shut up."
Liu Guizhuang looked at Chen Zhishu: "I'll take this dead woman back."
If he makes trouble now, the village chief can't do it anymore.
Li Dongmei was covering her face, but she didn't dare to resist.
Only to be dragged back.
"Chen Zhishu, you can't say that." Xie Yan pushed the bicycle: "My Taozhi hasn't gone to school yet, so this car may not be able to be brought back."
Holding her like this, if the car can't be brought back, this group of people will talk nonsense again.
"Yeah." Taozhi also looked at everyone: "Don't hold out your hopes too much, it's my first time learning to drive, so I might not be able to get it back."
Chen Zhishu smiled and said: "Yes, I heard that there is a chance, just try your best."
The aunties laughed: "Yeah, just do your best, Peach Branch, come on."
"Yeah, get the tractor back. Our commune hasn't had a new car for more than ten years."
"Getting married on the sixth day of June, can you come back in time?"
"Taozhi Xie Yan is about to get married."
...
Taozhi smiled at the women: "It may not be possible to get it back, everyone, stop holding me. By the way, Chen Zhishu, what are you doing here?"
"Mr. Su came today and said it was about the construction of the school. He also asked you..." Chen Zhishu glanced at Xie Yan, and quickly explained: "You explained it well last time, and Mr. Su said to fix the road, everyone. It's also convenient, just want the villagers to help, so I asked everyone to come and see, while there is nothing else to do. We will start digging the road tomorrow. "
Taozhi heard the words and nodded: "That's it."
Chen Zhishu's face was full of smiles: "So everyone is happy, this road is repaired, it will be an opportunity for our village children to get out of the mountains."
Xie Yan thinks this is feasible, and he will follow him tomorrow. It will be much more convenient for Taozhi to cycle back and forth in the future.
He went to pick her up, and he could come back soon.
Her legs won't hurt anymore.
