Chapter 24: Going to the Market
Chapter 124: Going to the market
Old Dao Li looked scheming, stroking his beard with one hand and afraid of hitting Xiao Yu's shoulder with the other. He smiled so much that his heart was rippling. It seemed that no one had praised him like this for a long time, and he felt a little floating and ecstatic.
"Well, the younger generation is terrifying, the younger generation is terrifying. You can treat me as a down-and-out god," said Li Laodao with a smile.
Xiao Yu rolled his eyes and thought to himself, "What does this old guy mean? He neither admits nor opposes it, making it mysterious."
Seeing that Master Li didn't say anything, Xiao Yu stopped asking, but he looked at Dao Li a little bit higher than that. No matter who the other party was, just relying on his incomprehensible destiny, he was destined not to be an ordinary person.
After staying in the Taoist temple for a while, Xiao Yu said goodbye and left. Because Grandma Wang was going to be a spirit tomorrow morning, he wanted to finish the last ritual, so he had to go back early.
"Little baby, go to school well." Before Xiao Yu left, Old Dao Li said such a painful and itchy word.
"And what? Nothing follows?"
"Hehe, then marry a wife and have a baby, and live your life well," said Master Li with a smile.
Xiao Yu rolled his eyes, turned around and left the Taoist temple. Taoist Master Li was indifferent and wanted to ask something from him. He was afraid that Xiao Yu would not have the ability yet, so Xiao Yu was too lazy to ask again. When he wanted to say it, he would naturally say it.
In the evening, Xiao Yu recited a scripture next to Grandma Wang's coffin, and then got up and went home. The next step was to send God to God. After it was completed, his work was completed. However, this time, Xiao Yu was very serious about doing the rituals for Grandma Wang, as if he was sending farewell to his relatives.
On the second day, Xiao Yu finished the last ritual and Grandma Wang went up the mountain successfully. The matter finally subsided. Then Yu waited for the 23rd day of the first lunar month to go to the market. On this day, all the villagers around him would go to the town to buy New Year's goods, because the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month is also the Little New Year, and it is the day when the Kitchen God goes to heaven.
The next few days were relatively calm. Xiao Yu continued to make his peach wood sword while meditating and practicing. Time passed quickly! After the last time Xiao Long's incident, Xiao Long's father often came to find Xiao Qiang. Originally, the two of them had just nodded, but in the past few days, the two often drank and talked about life together, which surprised Xiao Yu a little.
Fortunately, Xiao Erpao has returned in the past two days, and this guy has really come back with a child. Now it has been bustling half of the village, with children of all sizes following behind Xiao Erpao, waiting for him to make barbecue, and Xiao Yu is one of them.
"Xiao Yu, please show it to uncle. I'll see when I will get rich." Xiao Erpao handed the grilled pork skewers to Xiao Yu and said.
"I don't know, getting rich requires labor, and it's so easy to get rich."
"Hey, show it to uncle. You saw it as you saw it last time. I showed it to uncle and showed it to uncle. I saw it as a son. You are looking at it. You want to see it well. Uncle bakes good things for you." Xiao Erpao said mysteriously.
When Xiao Yu heard that it was a mysterious thing, he couldn't help but curiously said, "What do you say first? If you don't say it, I won't say it."
"That's right, you don't say it, and Xiao Yu doesn't say it either." Xiao Long muttered while holding the pork skewers.
"Sheep eggs, big tonics, one is sold for dozens of dollars, and I can't bear to eat them," Xiao Erpao said in a pretended pain.
"Really, I want to eat it, you can bake it quickly."
Xiao Yu probably didn't know anything else, but of course he knew the sheep egg. The thing was the same as the pigs. Generally, the piglets at farmers' homes had to be castrated. Xiao Yu's mother would wrap the pig eggs with leaves, sprinkle them with pepper, salt and other things, and then put them in the charcoal fire to roast them for Xiao Yu to eat them.
So Xiao Yu still remembers that kind of thing and feels it tastes good, so he hurriedly asked Xiao Erpao to roast it for himself.
Next, Xiao Yu showed Xiao Erpao's face again. Not to mention that after Xiao Erpao got married, his luck became much more prosperous, and there were other love luck, but Xiao Yu did not explain it.
However, what surprised Xiao Yu was that Xiao Xue had met him several times in the past two days, but the other party seemed to be nothing, and he was no longer making things difficult for him. However, his eyes still seemed to be trying to swallow Xiao Yu alive, making Xiao Yu feel panicked.
On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the New Year is getting closer and closer. Early this morning, Xiao Yu got up early, changed into clean clothes, and then went to the town to buy New Year's goods with his parents. However, when buying New Year's goods, he could not ride a motorcycle, because the New Year's goods included meat, wine, vegetables, melon seeds, and candy. The motorcycle brought Xiao Yu and his son with him, and they could not ship those things at all, so they could only drive a donkey cart.
Along the way, Xiao Yu saw many people in the village driving donkey carts and a large team heading towards the town. At the same time, other people in the village also began to rush towards the town. On this day, people who didn't know thought that the bandits from the mountains were going to rob the city.
Today's rural market towns are already crowded, and nearby villages are engaged in business and shopping here, and it looks like a prosperous scene. When I walked on the street, Xiao Qiang pulled Xiao Yu, for fear of accidentally getting Xiao Yu away.
But Xiao Yu came here today and had his plans. As soon as he got up this morning, Xiao Yu asked for two hundred yuan in his mother, and was about to come to the town to buy two clothes for his two little ghosts. Although the little ghosts are souls, they are all children after all. Like Xiao Yu, they are full of curiosity and yearning for all new things.
"My parents, I want to buy something, otherwise we can separate first, I won't get lost," Xiao Yu said after walking for a while.
"What do you want to buy? Just buy it together. So many people, what should I do if I get separated?"
"Dad, it's not the first time I've been here, why would I get lost? Otherwise, I'll go to the meat-selling uncle to wait for you later."
"No, I can't go anywhere today. I heard that many people come to the town to steal children. You must follow us." Xiao Qiang said without giving in.
"Then you go buy melon seeds first, mom and I will go and take a walk. Are you relieved now?"
When Xiao Qiang thought about it, he nodded and agreed, "That's it, after you buy things, go directly to sell meat, where will we meet up."
"Okay..." Xiao Yu responded, and then pulled his mother to walk like another direction. The town was not in the city, but there were only two streets, either selling clothes or selling vegetables, and the direction Xiao Yu was going was the place where he sold clothes.
"Come and have a look, it costs ten yuan per item, both adults and children." A man stood on a stool, constantly greeting the passing pedestrians.
Below the man was a few meters long wooden board, with colorful clothes piled up on it, and many people were picking around.
