After a good night's sleep, Yang Chunyan got up early in the morning and told Zhou's mother about going to the city. She asked her to help look after the children. After the truffles were loaded onto the tractor, she got on the tractor and followed Zhou Huaian out to Ning'an.

Zhou Yiding and Xu Laosan were driving a tractor in front. It had rained a little last night and there was a lot of fog in the mountains. It looked gray all around.

In the rapeseed field beside the road, the rapeseed flowers on the top of the flower spikes have already bloomed. A gust of wind blows, and a scent of cauliflower with a hint of honey fills the air.

Zhou Huaian looked at Yang Chunyan, who was wearing a snow cap and a scarf, and said, "Lean against the trunk and take a nap for a while."

Yang Chunyan nodded and leaned on the rear carriage board. The tractor swayed left and right on the tractor road until it got onto the asphalt road and then she closed her eyes in a daze.

They set out early today and arrived at Ning'an Bridge at exactly six o'clock. Zhou Huaian saw Zhou Huairong at the North Street entrance and hurriedly stopped the tractor, "Brother, have you given the vegetables to Brother Huang? Why didn't you leave with Yiding and the others?"

"I have paid it." Zhou Huairong walked towards Desheng Hall. "I thought that even if I rush back, your sister-in-law will be busy. It's better to wait for you and keep you company!"

Zhou Huaian knew that he was worried about him carrying so much money alone, so he smiled and nodded, "Okay, we'll have company."

The tractor arrived at the entrance of the alley of Wang Zhen's house. Zhou Huaian jumped off the tractor, and the two brothers untied the ropes together. Yang Chunyan went to the backyard and just as she raised her hand to knock on the door, the gate opened.

Yang Dongmei looked at her in surprise, "Sister, you're here! Do you like the clothes I picked for you?"

"I like it. Of course I like what you picked!" Yang Chunyan saw that she was also wearing a black wool coat of the same style as hers. "It looks good. It also looks good on you."

Yang Dongmei turned her head a little embarrassedly and looked at Wang Zhen behind her, "He also said that I look good in this black one!"

Wang Zhen smiled and nodded, "Xiaomei, please come in and sit down. I'll go call the unloading staff."

"Yes!" Yang Dongmei pulled her to the main room, "He sent me home in the morning, and brought the goods back with my eldest brother, and then took the train. Grandpa was waiting for him in Liangshan to go back to the provincial capital together."

"So, when you hold your wedding in the spring, do you plan to hold it here or in the provincial capital?"

"Wang Zhen wants to hold the wedding here. Grandpa said that we will hold it in the provincial capital on the wedding day, and then we will invite everyone to the wedding banquet when we come back." Yang Dongmei pulled Yang Chunyan, "Sister, I want you and your brother-in-law to accompany me when the time comes, okay?"

Yang Chunyan nodded without hesitation, "Okay, we'll take you there then."

"Wang Zhen said that he would book the sleeper tickets in advance and take you to the provincial capital to have a good look. He also said that since my brother-in-law likes to buy land so much, the provincial capital is the best place to buy land."

"They are planning to build a hydroelectric power station, but we don't know how much it will cost! If we go to the provincial capital to buy land, I'm worried that we won't have enough money!" Yang Chunyan also knew that the land in the provincial capital had better prospects for appreciation, but where would the family get so much money?

"Sister, Wang Zhen invited his classmates to dinner a few days ago to inquire about building a hydropower station. I heard from his classmates that small hydropower stations are generally run-of-river power stations, which use natural water flow or add power generation systems to existing water supply or irrigation systems. The cost is not high. He also said that as long as Wang Zhen gets the equipment, he will bring technicians to help."

Yang Chunyan didn't expect that Wang Zhen had already started planning. It seemed that he was very optimistic about the hydropower station project. "Your brother-in-law and I are not well educated, so I'll leave these technical things to you to prepare. Tell us when you're done."

"Just give it to my brother-in-law and Wang Zhen when the time comes. We'll just collect the money from now on." Yang Dongmei said, looking at her shyly, "Sister, let me show you something!"

Yang Chunyan looked at her shy appearance and said with a smile: "Your brother-in-law said that Wang Zhen made you some gold jewelry and said it was very beautiful."

"No, come with me!" Yang Dongmei took her to her room, took out a red velvet bag from the drawer, and took out a marriage certificate from it. "On the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, Wang Zhen and I went to get the certificate."

"Congratulations!" Yang Chunyan happily looked at the handsome and elegant Wang Zhen and his pretty younger sister in the wedding photo, "Wang Zhen's household registration is here?"

Yang Dongmei said happily, "He got the certificate from the provincial capital when he went to Yangcheng to purchase goods, and brought it here to get it done."

Yang Chunyan tapped her forehead gently and said, "You bad girl, you didn't even give us wedding candy after getting the marriage certificate."

Yang Dongmei hugged her arms, pouted and said coquettishly: "I asked my brother-in-law several times, but you never came. How could I tell my brother-in-law that I got the marriage certificate and I'll treat you to wedding candy!"

Yang Chunyan smiled and held out her hand, "Where's the wedding candy?"

"I'll get it for you!" Yang Dongmei took out two bags from the drawer. "I've prepared them for you. There are two flavors: toffee and chocolate with liquor filling."

As she spoke, she took a candy, peeled off the candy wrapper and handed it to Yang Chunyan, "Sister, have one."

Yang Chunyan opened her mouth and took the candy in her mouth. It was instantly sweet to her heart. She happily held her hand and said, "I wish you two a sweet and happy life together!"

"Okay!" Yang Dongmei smiled with her eyes curved and nodded vigorously in response.

Yang Chunyan came out of the room with two bags of sugar and saw Zhou Huaian and Zhou Huairong carrying bamboo baskets into the yard. "Have you finished unloading?"

Zhou Huaian: "These are the last few baskets. You and my little sister go get some wine for Brother Dong. After we finish moving, we'll go cut some meat and buy some candy."

"We'll go right away."

Sister Yang Chunyan carried her backpack to Yang Weidong's shop. Seeing that the door was still closed, she went to the back door and knocked on it a few times, "Boss Yang, it's time for the wine."

"Here they are!" Yang Weidong opened the back door in his slippers and saw the two sisters. He smiled and said, "I thought they were some drunkards who wanted to drink early in the morning!"

Yang Chunyan said with a smile: "Boss Yang, it's already half past six, why don't you open the door and do business quickly?"

"I'm not a boss at all. I'm just a farmhand who helps your sister-in-law make money." Yang Weidong let the two sisters into the house and went to the shop. "How much do you want?"

Yang Chunyan: "Huaian gave this to his friends in Baicaoping. What degree do they like to drink?"

Yang Weidong: "People over there like high angle shots, so let's go for the 60-degree angle shot!"

"Okay!" Yang Chunyan calculated, "Twenty kilograms!"

"Yes!" Yang Weidong took out 20 bottles of wine from the wooden box and put them in his backpack. "There are many gifts for relatives at the end of the year, so I bottled the wine early."

Yang Dongmei looked at the shelf that originally had mushrooms and black fungus on it, "Oh! Are all the mushrooms from my sister's house sold out?"

Yang Weidong said with a smile: "They've been sold out after only half a month of display. Chunyan, you should collect more next year."

"Okay, I will definitely buy more next year." Yang Chunyan did not expect that such a small amount of goods would be sold out in just half a month. Although she only made about 300 yuan, it was much more valuable than selling fresh mushrooms.

The two sisters came out of Yang Weidong's house and returned to the intersection of North Street. They saw the family's tractor had driven out and parked there, and there were more and more vendors selling New Year's goods on the street.

Yang Chunyan weighed about ten pounds of fruit candies, about ten pounds of crispy candies, and also bought some brown sugar and white sugar. When she saw the vendor selling Yeerba, she bought another bag. The two sisters carried the bags back to Deshengtang, and Wang Zhen told them that Zhou Huaian and Zhou Huairong had gone to the market to buy pork.

"Sister, are you going with your brother-in-law, or are you going back with us on the bus?"

"I'll take the bus with you guys." Yang Chunyan remembered that Zhao Meina's brother and sister's clothes were too short, and her two nephews also needed to buy two sets of clothes. "When Huai'an comes back, you can give these things to him. My sister and I will go to the street and buy some clothes for the children."

"Okay!" Wang Zhen warned, "There are a lot of pickpockets on the street these days, so be careful when you buy things."

"I understand." Yang Chunyan and her sister went to the stalls and found that there were ten more stalls.

There were already people gathered in front of the cloth stall, and there were also people at the clothing stall. Jackets, overcoats and acrylic sweaters of various colors were hung on the bamboo poles.

There were also vendors selling small items who spread out a piece of oilcloth on the ground, with handkerchiefs of various patterns, hairpins and hair flowers of various colors, and colorful scarves.

Women naturally like beautiful scarves. The two sisters picked out small purple floral patterns, sky blue, rose red, and red peony flowers, and bought one for each woman in the family.

Butterfly hairpins, dragonfly hairpins, and hair flowers of various colors were given to Zhou Xiaoqian and her sister, and Zhao Meina also bought two.

Walking forward, I saw a man selling picture books and picked out a few books for a few children. When I was paying, I found that picture books these days were really cheap. The expensive ones were only 20 cents, and the cheap ones were just a few cents each.

Yang Chunyan also bought a set of Generals of the Yang Family, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and two copies of 100,000 Whys for several children in the family, both adults and children, a total of dozens of picture books, and only spent a dozen yuan.

She felt that all reborn people seemed to have a problem. When they sold something, they felt it was too cheap and they would feel sad for a long time after selling it. When they bought something, they felt it was cheap and they foolishly bought a lot, thinking they got a good deal.

Yang Dongmei helped her put the comic books in her backpack, "Sister, I remember when I was a kid, I wanted to read comic books, and I had to exchange books with others to get them."

Yang Chunyan smiled and said, "We treasure those two books very much. We are afraid that they will be damaged if we lend them out."

"Yes! I'll hurry back to get it back soon after I lend it out." Yang Dongmei took her arm and walked forward, "I didn't even think about buying comic books for Dashuang and Xiaoshuang. You bought so many for them. The kids are so happy."

"It was only when I saw Jiaming and his friends using their pocket money to buy them every time they came that I remembered that they, like us at that time, also liked to read comic books."

"Yes, we were all that age, and we like the same things!" Yang Dongmei pointed to the clothing stand in front, "This one has more styles of children's clothes. Let's go over and take a look."

"Um!"

After seeing the clothes, Yang Chunyan bought one for Zhao Meina and her brother, and also bought one for each of the other children in the family.

For more than a dozen children, the clothes alone cost more than a hundred yuan. No wonder Zhou's mother often said that when she was in the production team, she relied on work points. It was very hard to raise several children and not let them go naked. (End of this chapter)
