Chapter Thirty-Three: Buy New Year’s Goods

There was a small hailstorm last night, and Chen Chunhua woke up very cold. As soon as she opened the door, a strong wind blew in from outside.

Chen Chunhua shook her body and took a closer look. Hey, there was a layer of white on the ground. "Snow has fallen!" She said and ran to the yard. It was still dark. Chen Chunhua rubbed her hands. The snow on the ground was still soft.

, grabbed a handful, piled them into a snowball, and smashed one outside.

Seeing Chen Chunhua lying outside in the yard, the second son packed up her things and carried her out of the house, and put a thick cloak on her.

"Daughter-in-law, let's go, I've been late for a while, but I can't make it in time!"

"well!"

There are many people going to the town today. In addition to the ox cart in the village chief's house, there is also another ox cart. I don't know which house it is from.

Chen Chunhua and her second son squeezed onto the bullock cart in the village chief's house. It was dark and dim, so they couldn't see what was going on. As soon as Chen Chunhua sat on it, someone tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around and saw, coincidentally, her second aunt was also there.

exist.

"Second aunt!"

"Hey, Chunhua is rushing to the town to buy new year's goods?" The second aunt came over to be next to Chen Chunhua. It was still not that cold when they were together. Chen Chunhua breathed a sigh of relief and said. "Oh, I don't know what happened tomorrow.

It's the New Year's Eve, so I'll go with my second brother."

"That's good. It's been a lively year in the boss's house this year."

While we were chatting here, the village chief shouted, "Everyone, please sit tight!"

Along the way, there were many people and it was lively. Two bullock carts were driving one behind the other. I don’t know which one drove the cart. Everyone was chatting and it was very lively.

By daybreak, everyone was in town.

Chen Chunhua discussed with her second aunt and went shopping together, but she didn't go with her second aunt when she went to deliver wild things.

"Second aunt, Sister Alian asked me to bring her two kilograms of meat." Chen Chunhua didn't care about forgetting this matter, and she didn't know what to do here during the New Year. The original owner's memory had never been to the town, so what was going on in the house?

, she just got by.

"Let's go back to the meat stall. Let's go there first!" Second Aunt walked closely beside Chen Chunhua. There were many people on the street at the moment. It was probably the New Year's Eve and everyone was rushing to buy new year's goods.

"Second Aunt, it's my first year here. I don't know what to do with the house. What are you going to buy?"

"What can I buy? I just bought a pound of sugar, half a pound of melon seeds and so on during the Chinese New Year." The two of them talked, and the second aunt took Chen Chunhua to a dry goods store.

When I walked into the house, I saw that the large and small boxes contained melon seeds, preserved fruits, and some pastries.

"You two, feel free to take a look and tell me what you want. The price is easy to tell!" The boss is a middle-aged man who seems to be honest.

The second aunt looked at both sides for a few times and said, "I want a pound of melon seeds, half a pound of preserved fruits, and a bag of cakes."

"Hey, come on, do you want these melon seeds to be raw or fried?" The boss was also unambiguous. He pulled out two pieces of cloth and put them on the stall, and used a weighing plate to scoop out the preserved fruits from the basket and weigh them.

"The raw ones!" The melon seeds can be made in the house, but the fried ones are also expensive and not worth buying. Seeing that the second aunt bought these, Chen Chunhua kept staring at the pastries.

She couldn't say whether this pastry was delicious or not. She hadn't tried it, but it looked good. "How much do these melon seeds cost per pound?"

"I won't charge you too much. It's only five cents per catty. I got some good stuff this year. Look at these seeds, they are very filling!"

The boss weighed the preserved fruits and grabbed a handful of melon seeds for Chen Chunhua to look at.

Chen Chunhua nodded and said, "I want two kilograms, what's the price of the preserved fruit? And the pastries?"

"Preserved fruit, six cents. It depends on what kind of pastry you want. The mung bean cake is twelve cents a pack, and the others are all ten cents." The boss weighed the melon seeds and preserved fruits, wrapped them in cloth and handed them to the second aunt, who counted them.

I got the copper coins and put the things in the basket.

"Two kilograms of melon seeds, two packs of pastries, and one kilogram of preserved fruits." Chen Chunhua calculated that these were enough. She had never seen any relatives in the house since she was married, so she didn't ask.

"Sure, I'll give you a title right now!" The boss smiled. How could he not be happy about a good business? Chen Chunhua quickly arranged all these things, and Chen Chunhua didn't hesitate and gave the copper coins readily.

After coming out of the work shop, Second Aunt took Chen Chunhua down two alleys. "Second Aunt, where are you putting this?"

"Hi, my sister-in-law, the mother-in-law of her house is sitting in this house. Last time she stopped by and asked me to stop by and have a look!" The second aunt stopped and raised her hand to knock on the door.

Chen Chunhua remained silent. After waiting for a while, the door opened and an elderly woman came out. She glanced at Second Aunt and Chen Chunhua and said, "Who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Aunt Li!" the second aunt replied, and the mother-in-law closed the door and asked them to wait.

After waiting for a while, the door opened, and a neat woman walked out. She looked at the second aunt and said warmly, "Girl, why are you here!"

"Auntie, I just stopped by to have a look. My sister-in-law came to my house this time to miss you. Now that she sees you, I will go back and give her a message. Maybe she will come back to the house this year?"

"Hey, what are you going back to? Something like this happened in the boss's house. It's so troublesome!" Old Aunt Li patted the second aunt's hand and said. "I have a message for you. I'm going back to the house after the New Year. Don't worry.

Hold on to me!"

"Sure, I turned around and said to her, Auntie, what happened in this boss's house?" Seeing how Aunt Li was doing, I guessed that this boss's life was not going well.

"What's the matter? The old lady in my boss's house was sick. She was lying in bed and couldn't say anything right. She called several doctors in the town to see her, and now she's just a medicine pot."

"This guy, don't think too much about anything. What's supposed to come will come."

"Well, I have to go and do some work. The old lady can't live without people." Aunt Li said and hurried back to the house. Chen Chunhua stood aside and looked up at the alley. There were many people in the town.

I have never seen adobe houses, they are all blue bricks.

"Chunhua, let's go, I'm going to buy a bag of pasta."

"become!"

Chen Chunhua followed her second aunt, and the two of them shopped for a while, and the baskets were filled to the brim. After buying what they needed, they went to the grain and oil store.

"Second Aunt, you're here." As soon as Second Aunt and Chen Chunhua entered, they were greeted by young men who were busy in the room.

"Baby, I came here to buy a bag of pasta. You go back to the village and bring it back to me."

"become!"

Chen Chunhua looked at the flour, pointed at one of the bags and said, "I want this bag!"

"Okay!"

The price of flour was high, so Chen Chunhua ordered a bag of it, which cost ninety cents. It was easy to spend money but hard to make money, but in just one morning, Chen Chunhua's wallet lost a lot of weight.

After coming out of the grain and oil store, the second aunt pulled Chen Chunhua and said, "Chunhua, are you going to bring two kilograms of meat to Alian?"

"Alas, if you didn't mention my head, I almost forgot about it!" Chen Chunhua slapped her head and forgot about it while shopping. Sister Alian had promised that if she forgot, she would get along with her in the future.

But I have to say nothing less.
