On the second day of Aunt Li's visit, Lin Zhu tidied up the house at home. The three rooms in the main house were cleaned. After sweeping and scrubbing, the house was much fresher and brighter. Manager Lin and Wang also cleaned up the house.
All traces of his past were cleared away. The vegetable patch in the front yard was watered and the weeds were weeded. Lin Zhu spent a busy day.
The market day on the fifth day of the lunar month arrived in Lin Zhu's expectation. Lin Zhu got up before dawn. After packing, he waited for Aunt Li's arrival in front of the courtyard. For this market, Lin Zhu specially used old cloth to sew
I made a purse, similar to the one I got from Wang. It’s just that Lin Zhu’s craftsmanship is not good. In modern times, needlework can only sew two pieces of cloth together. Now the things made can only be used.
, if you show it to others, you will most likely be laughed at.
In this purse, Lin Zhu only holds one tael of broken silver and two hundred coins. This should be enough. She can't hold too much to attract attention. She is still too young. It will be troublesome if anyone cares about her. She cleaned it yesterday
At that time, she still thought that this yard was too big for her, and people could break in easily, and she couldn't handle it even with a child. She should keep a dog to look after the house and take care of the yard. If she met the right one, she would be there.
It's best to buy one. Keep the other money in the space for emergencies.
Not long after, Aunt Li appeared in Lin Zhu's sight. It was two to three hundred meters from Linjia Village to her home. Aunt Li came to find her with intention.
Lin Zhu was very happy to see Aunt Li and rushed forward to greet her. However, Aunt Li did not come alone. There was a little girl beside her, wearing a bright yellow dress, with her hair combed in a bun and two pink buns.
The hanging ribbon floated from time to time as she jumped and walked. On her red apple-like face, there were a pair of bright eyes, and a cute smile appeared on her pink mouth. People just looked at her.
I just feel in a good mood.
"Sister Zhu, come here." Before she could reach the front, Aunt Li called to Lin Zhu and waved to her, gesturing for her to walk over. Lin Zhu quickly walked past Aunt Li and said, "Aunt Li, are you ready?"
." He said hello while looking curiously at the little girl next to Aunt Li. "Well, you got up quite early, so you must be anxious to wait." Aunt Li was very satisfied with Lin Zhu's initiative to get up early and wait here. "I just got up too.
Come out for a while." "This is my little daughter, I told you, her name is Ruyu, she is also eight years old this year, she heard that I took you to the market, she insisted on coming with me, haha, she is very willful, I love her
I acted coquettishly and couldn't control her, so I brought her with me. It just so happens that you two can be a companion." Although Aunt Li said that she was willful, it could be seen that Aunt Li liked this little daughter very much, her eyes always twinkled.
Lin Zhu was very envious when he looked at her with such doting light.
"Hello, my name is Lin Zhu." Lin Zhu took the initiative to say hello to Lin Ruyu, "Hehe, you are the Zhu sister my mother mentioned. I am Lin Ruyu. I heard that you are going to the market. I
I also wanted to go, so I followed. Do you want to go shopping for clothes? Don’t you know how to do it? Mine are all made by my mother, and so are the clothes I wear. My mother’s craftsmanship is the best. It looks good.
"Lin Ruyu's voice is crisp and sweet with a bit of a baby voice, which is very comfortable to listen to. She has a very lively personality and is not acquainted with strangers at all. She seems to be easy to get along with. "Your clothes are so beautiful, you are dressed beautifully."
Lin Zhu agreed when he heard Lin Ruyu boasting. He sincerely recognized it and was a little envious. "It's a pity that I can't do it."
"Haha, okay, Sister Zhu, please stop praising her. She just loves beauty. She shows off when she meets others and is not afraid of others' jokes. You two want to talk. There will be plenty of time later. Let's go to the entrance of the village now. It's too late.
, there is no room for us on Lin Dazhu's bullock cart." Aunt Li was amused by the conversation between the two and interrupted them. Knowing her little daughter's temperament, she was afraid that she would not finish talking, so she had to rush on.
Lin Ruyu smiled mischievously and immediately followed Aunt Li obediently, "Mom, let's go quickly." "Okay," Aunt Li agreed, then looked at Lin Zhu and saw that she had nothing in her hands. "You didn't take anything."
A backpack? When we get to the market, how will we pack the things we bought?"
Lin Zhu looked at his empty hands, then looked at Aunt Li, and found that she was carrying a bamboo basket on her shoulder. There seemed to be some eggs in it. "I don't have this at home. If I can't get it on the market, I'll buy one."
"Oh, yes, you don't have to buy it from the market. Laifu's family in the village will make this. There are all kinds of baskets. He often makes them and sells them to the grocery store in town. Then you can just buy them from his house.
, cheaper than in the town." After telling Lin Zhu this situation, he took her towards the entrance of the village.
Along the way, he met several villagers who were also carrying backpacks. They all seemed to be carrying things. When they saw Aunt Li, they all took the initiative to say hello. Lin Zhu asked Aunt Li curiously, "What are they carrying? Are they going to the market?"
"?" "I bring some home-made things to the market to sell in exchange for some money to subsidize my family. I also saved some eggs and took them to the market to exchange for money." Aunt Li explained to her, and Lin Zhu felt like it after hearing this.
I was very embarrassed because the eggs I collected from Aunt Li were all waiting to be sold, but Aunt Li brought ten for me. I was very touched.
When the three of them arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw the ox cart that Aunt Li was talking about, a flatbed cart pulled by a strong ox. Four people were already sitting on it. A young man in his twenties was standing next to the ox cart.
It should be the Lin Dazhu that Aunt Li was talking about. He saw Aunt Li and the other two people coming over and greeted Aunt Li with a smile, "Aunt Li, are you going to the market today too? Can you take Xiaoyu with you?" Although he saw Lin Zhu standing beside him,
But she didn’t know her. As she put the basket on the car, Aunt Li said to the young man: "Well, I saved some eggs and wanted to sell them. By the way, I took Xiaoyu to the town to play for a while. Xiaoyu hadn’t been there for a long time.
.This is Sister Zhu who lives in the village to the west. Her name is Lin Zhu. She also wanted to buy some things in the town, so I brought her here. She will have to wait for us when she comes back." "Brother Dazhu, what do you want?
Hurry up, let's not be late. I just managed to catch up with the show." Ruyu said naively.
Lin Dazhu, the owner of the oxcart, used it to pull people to the town market during the off-season to earn some money. Oxen are very important assets for farmers, and they are also a large source of labor. People who own cattle generally have a good life. So Lin Dazhu
My family in Linjiacun is considered to be of an upper-middle level.
Lin Dazhu was an honest man with a steady personality and was very popular in the village. He helped Aunt Li put away her backpack and asked the three of them to get in the car and sit down. He looked at Lin Zhu and said, "You live in the west side of the village. I have never seen you before.
.I heard that Manager Lin has left, why are you still here?" Before Lin Zhu could say anything, Aunt Li deliberately avoided the matter of Manager Lin and said: "The farmhouse belongs to her, and from now on, she will be in our village.
Don't bully her just because she's young." "Aunt Li, don't you know me yet? When have I bullied others? I'm the most honest." Lin Dazhu saw that Aunt Li seemed to be very protective of Lin Zhu, so he
Following her wishes, she changed the subject. Lin Dazhu, who often walked around, was very good at looking at people. "The seats are full, let's go." Lin Dazhu took the reins of the cow and set off.
There were four women sitting in the car. They were all from Linjia Village. They were very familiar with Aunt Li. They were all very curious about Lin Zhu who appeared in front of them for the first time. However, Aunt Li didn't seem to want to say more.
Asked about Lin Zhu, greeted Aunt Li one after another, and chatted about family affairs.
Seeing that no one asked further, Lin Zhu also breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want to talk about her private matters in public. Such things would change the taste if they were spread among people. She didn't want to become people's talk after dinner.
Ruyu sat in the car and watched her mother chatting with the people in the car. She was bored, so she talked to Lin Zhu: "Sister Zhu, what else do you buy besides clothes?" She looked at the same age as herself.
The little girl also called herself that like her mother. Lin Zhu felt it was awkward, so he said to her: "You call me Xiaozhu, and I'll call you Xiaoyu, okay?" Ruyu tilted her head and thought about it, but she also felt that calling her this way.
Feeling closer, I agreed, "Okay, that's a good call. Hehe, actually, I feel awkward calling you Sister Zhu. It's better to call you Xiao Zhu."
"I want to buy quilts and some small things for daily use." Lin Zhu was very happy to see Ruyu agreed to her proposal. She also liked talking to this cute little girl. "Xiaoyu, do you know where I can buy bath products?"
Bath beans? I've never been to town to buy anything, so I don't know where to buy them." Lin Zhu asked Ruyu in a low voice. "Yes, I'll take you there when we get there. My mother knows the people in that store."
It's a grocery store and sells a lot of things." Because she is the youngest in the family, everyone treats her as an ignorant child and always lectures her. Finally, she can show what she knows. Ruyu is very happy and happily agrees to take care of her.
Lin Zhu went over and asked: "What kind of clothes do you want to buy? The clothes in those stores are very expensive, but the materials are very good. I went there to see them. Most people can't afford them." "I want to buy them cheaper."
It's fine, and it doesn't cost much. The fabric you're wearing is very good. Aunt Li's craftsmanship is really good, but it's a pity that I don't know how to make clothes." "My mother and my sister can make clothes. Why don't you let them help you?
.”
"Is it possible? Is it too much trouble?" Lin Zhu was very moved when he heard Ruyu's words. If someone helped to make it, it would be more cost-effective than buying ready-made clothes. He could save money and buy better fabrics.
Aunt Li, who was paying attention to the two of them while talking to people in the same village, was very happy that Lin Zhu and her little daughter could get along well with each other after hearing their words. Several people in the car were actually paying attention to Lin Zhu's every word and deed. After all,
Everyone is curious, so when a stranger suddenly appeared, they all wanted to find out. However, since Aunt Li was the village chief's wife, they didn't want to ask more questions because she didn't say anything.
Lin Zhu and Ruyu discussed in a low voice what they wanted to buy. Time passed quickly, the town gradually approached, and more and more people were around. Most of them came on foot, and everyone had more or less something about them.
