"Okay, no more chatting, let's go to your dormitory quickly." Su Jianmin said.
"Yeah." Su Wennian nodded, and when he went upstairs with his father, he couldn't help but think of his childhood. When he was a child, he always felt that his father liked his eldest brother, second brother and fourth brother more, and didn't like himself in comparison. Now that he thinks about it, his father has always been very caring.
he……
"I'll carry these." Su Wennian grabbed the things from his father's hand and walked at the front.
Since Wen Nian was still working, Su Jianmin, Jin Bao and Su Nanbing didn't stay too long, put down their things and went downstairs to leave.
They got back on the mule cart and soon arrived at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative. After tying Xiaobai tightly, they walked to the counter together to select suitable clothes. The fabric, color and pattern of the trousers were all selected by Jinbao.
After buying the fabric, they started to visit the market.
The flow of people was much more crowded than expected, and both sides of the street were filled with all kinds of things.
Su Nanbing visited the market for the first time, and it felt quite fresh. "There are so many things, Jinbao, do you want to eat oranges?"
"I think so!" Jin Bao nodded, "I've never bought fruit at the market before."
Su Jianmin said: "Let's go shopping around this street first and decide what we want to buy before we buy it together. Otherwise, it will be quite heavy to carry. If you want to eat oranges, I will buy a ten-pound one later.
Fruit is not easy to spoil and can be eaten slowly."
"Well, let's take a look first." After Su Nanbing agreed, he pulled Jinbao and continued walking forward.
"Dad, there is a seafood market," Jin Bao said, pointing to the sign not far away, "Let's go to the seafood market and have a look? I have been in Bao'an County for so long, and I have eaten river seafood, but I have never eaten seafood."
"Yes, Bao'an County is right next to the sea. We have never seen the sea."
The seafood sellers were all from other towns. They shouted loudly, saying that the seafood was caught at night and was very fresh.
As soon as Jinbao walked in, she smelled a faint smell of sea. She thought the smell was okay and had no reaction. Her father and second brother couldn't help but cover their noses with their hands, "What does this smell like? Too much."
It stinks."
"It really stinks, it smells like dead fish and rotten shrimps..."
Jin Bao smiled and said: "With so many shrimps and crabs, some of them must be dead. You will get used to it after smelling it for a while."
After speaking, she pointed to the two girls in front of her, "Huh? They seem to be Sister Wenli and Sister Shuting."
"It is indeed them. It seems that they also came to visit the market..."
After Su Jianmin finished speaking, he called their names.
The noise around him was so noisy that his voice was completely drowned out.
Seeing that his father wanted to wave to Hua Wenli again, Su Nanbing pulled his arm and said, "Dad, let's not call them. Let's go separately, lest we buy different things and be forced to walk together."
"That's right, let the young girls go shopping on their own."
Jin Bao raised her head and glanced at her second brother. She always felt that there seemed to be something between her second brother and Xie Shuting that she was hiding from everyone, but maybe she was overthinking it...
There are all kinds of sea fish in the basket, such as Balang fish, Spanish mackerel, hairtail fish, red-headed fish... For Su Jianmin, who has lived inland for a long time, he has never seen these fish before.
When he pointed to some of the fish and asked their names, Su Nanbing had already taken Jinbao to the next stall to look at the crabs. "How do you eat this? It looks like the pliers can pinch people, and the shell is still hard."
"Are you a foreigner? You've never seen crabs before? After these things are cooked, break the shells apart and the meat will be very sweet."
"Jinbao," Su Nanbing asked his sister, "should we buy some crabs to take home?"
Jinbao nodded his head, "Okay, although crabs are troublesome to eat, you can try the taste. The swimming crabs are only yellow from August to November every year. They are not yellow now and are not plump enough.
It’s less delicious.”
"Hey, little sister, you are quite knowledgeable. You can recognize that this is a swimming crab, and you also know which season is the best to eat..."
When the stall owner praised Jinbao, Su Nanbing looked at his sister in surprise, "Jinbao, have you ever eaten these things called crabs?"
Jin Bao said "Ah" and said nonsensically: "I haven't eaten it, but I have seen pictures in books."
When they were discussing crabs, Xie Shuting felt that she had browsed the entire street and there was nothing she wanted to buy. She was about to turn around when she glanced around and happened to see Su Nanbing, who was talking to Jin Bao with his head slightly lowered. She was so frightened that she hurriedly pulled Hua Wenli away.
Keep walking until you leave the seafood market and walk to a small shop selling groceries.
"Shu Ting, do you want to eat noodles?" Hua Wenli was a little hungry.
"Okay." Xie Shuting nodded, and the two of them found a small noodle stall and ordered a bowl of noodles for eight cents.
Their location is dozens of meters away from the lively market, and next to the town's residential buildings.
After a while, four young men came to the seat next to her.
One of them said loudly: "Boss, four bowls of vegetable noodles, please order more noodles and less vegetables."
After ordering the noodles, they lowered their voices and complained: "How long have we not eaten meat? I really want to eat chicken..."
"Okay! Xie Fei, you've been nagging me all this time, do you think I don't want to eat chicken?
The Liao Feihong incident was so big that the whole village was staring at us, especially Captain Zhao’s family. They were afraid that we would steal things and lose the face of the villagers. They looked at us like prisoners. How could we stand a chance?
Stealing a chicken?”
Xie Shuting's heart skipped a beat when she heard them say the word "steal chicken".
She pretended to be calm and continued to eat noodles, thinking to herself: Didn't Liao Feihong lie? The mastermind of stealing chickens from Uncle Su's house was not him, but these educated youths from Nansha Village?
These chicken thieves are so abominable!
Hua Wenli also heard what they said, and when Shuting was about to get up, she quickly pressed her hand, blinked at her twice, and told her to calm down and wait and see what happens.
Xie Shuting thought about it secretly in her heart, and felt that it was useless to go to them and argue with them now. They could just deny it, and she had no evidence to prove that they stole the chicken.
"Brother Cockroach, don't we have any meat to eat in the future? We can only eat vegetarian food?"
Pan Zicong said: "Zhang Lang, I understand Ah Fei. After tasting the chicken, my mouth has been eaten. For so many days, I have been eating the unpalatable food in the village every day. I almost vomited. If I had money,
That’s it, I’ll order a bowl of beef offal soup…”
"Yeah, what's the point of eating these vegetable noodles? There are only vegetables and not a single piece of meat."
Zhang Lang whispered: "Shh! Don't worry, you follow me, can I let you eat only plain noodles?"
When the other three people heard this, their eyes suddenly brightened a little, and they stared at him and asked excitedly: "Do you have any plans?"
"Have you seen the group of people selling marine fish, shrimps and crabs in the seafood market? They are not from this town, they are fishermen from the villages and towns near the sea. Once they sell the seafood, they have to leave by car. You said... they didn't find out until they got in the car.
If the money is gone, who can I talk to for explanation?"
